 Dear Fire Emblem fans who whine about remakes and complain about not getting a new console game--

FE12 has sold more in two weeks than FE9 or FE10 have to date (in Japan, anyway).

It's a business-- deal with it.

Love, Mark of the Asphodel

PS: Makes you wonder what IS is going to do now they can't whore Marth out anymore have remade the most obvious remake candidate.

PPS: Sales data from VGChartz, btw

I'm kind of iffy on the idea of making FE4 on a handheld. Given the expanse of those maps and the overall "epic" nature, it seems to scream for a console remake. But the sales of FE10 appeared to burn IS, given the investment necessary for a console game, so... hmm. I dunno.

I wish Ike and Soren nothing but the best on their travels together. It's the beast-people that turn me off on Tellius. They squick me. I don't care if they subvert some of the cliches, it still squicks me. I do not like elves and I do not like beast-people. The typical FE dragons are about as much as I can handle, and part of what mitigates them for me is that the dragons are basically gods.

Though coming out of SSB fandom as I do, I have to admit a lingering grudge against rabid Ike partisans. Tiara Boy pwns you in SSB and he pwns you at the sales counter too, you jerks.

:-) I have faith in the power of the DS. More than that, though, I have noticed that console games have become so prohibitively expensive to make that portables, already more profitable and more widely played in this time period, are the wave of the future. And people looking for a more console-like experience can always get a PSP. Goodness knows it feels like sitting down and playing JRPGs from the SNES and PS1 eras, seeing as to how many of them have been ported to it or remade for it.

Nothing against Ike / Soren in particular or slash in general (I am quite fond of Lucius / Raven, among other pairings), but those fangirls like to overrun the kink meme. Then again, they overrun it with Laguz prompts, too.

I want this on a t-shirt or a bumper sticker or something.
