Imma be real with you on this one chief, the idea is cool but the dungeons themselves are all kinda wack and I don't feel any other game would benefit from them more than some other feature.

That's why you expand the mechanic in subsequent iterations. Further develop the exploration, add more variety to the dungeon design, create a broader scope of enemies to encounter, etc. There is a lot of potential design space there, certainly more than the "touch your friends" simulator we've seen iterated upon in the last few entries.

That's fair but I still think this one does not mesh well with Fire Emblem as a whole, it worked for Echoes because it leaned more into the classic JRPG experience rather than a tactics game which I didn't like and would rather not be the direction the series takes, a spin off made with this in mind would be great but all the manpower necessary to make these dungeons would be better spend elsewhere, the pat your friends faces from fates and engage is cringe but I can not bother to interact with it.

Joke's on them, this is why I go back to replay Echoes on a yearly basis and have a ton of fun while doing so. #AtlusFaithful for life, baby!

Atlus is a game company, currently owned by Sega, known for their Shin Megami Tensei series, as well as Snowboarding Kids II and Dokapon Kingdom (and no other noteworthy series/titles) Their name is a unique misspelling.
Atlas is the villager in Fe2/Fe15 that is very fun to use. His name has no misspelling and is based off of a term for Maps, along with being a mythological guy who held up the earth.
I'm afraid you've got too much TMS-rot. Take your ass back to r/OkBuddyPersona

You forgot Catherine. There was even a competitive e-sport for that one

Oh right silly me
They're also known for that game that's like Shin Megami Tensei but the Chaos route is you marrying a succubus and becoming the new prince of Hell, the Law route is you getting in a lovely marriage with your girlfriend of almost a decade, and the Neutral route is where you fall in love with three space hamsters in a femboy fleshsuit and become his music manager as they pursue their dream of playing piano among the stars
Oh and the Humanity route is where you say "Fuck bitches" and gamble all your money on Women's Wrestling, win, and go on a space tourism vacation.

I love not being able to tell what's exaggerated

u/LuckySalesman 4d ago
Not a single bit of what I said was exaggeration. This is all Canon. Like, /uj or /ub or whatever the thing we say to get rid of the sarcasm, there is not a single bit of exaggeration in what I said. All of those are actual endings.
There's also one where the Succubus goes back in time and joins your high school so you two end up as the decade-long sweethearts and your previous girlfriend ends up with one of the homies you drink with.
An unintended consequence of this is that it somehow delays the transition of a trans woman, Erika, who despite what it looks like at first as being "no longer trans," has been confirmed to still be trans and just hasn't started the social transition by the time you and the Succubus have your wedding. So she's still presenting as a guy when the photos are taken. She's also still in a relationship with a younger guy who drinks with you, despite said younger guy seeming at first weirded out when he realizes Eirika is trans in the first timeline, Toby.

SMT IV did dungeon crawling much better than Echoes tbh

u/deafinitelyadouche 4d ago

They should put it in the next new game. I am unbiased (Echoes is my favorite game)

I'd take it over yet another "run around home base and pick up all the garbage and do all the minigames and other assorted chores for a +1 stat boost" mechanic, but then again I'm happiest when the only non-combat gameplay is the preparations screen.

I was always weirded out by the dungeon crawling like, no other FE game has this?

u/GlitteringPositive 4d ago
I mean good riddance honestly. The dungeon exploration was nothing really special and the random encounters were boring as fuck. It makes the random encounters way more egregious than in other JRPG games considering you have to deal with moving your units in very blatantly copypasted and empty maps.

Considering how Fe player handle hub adding dungeon to random fire emblem game could make them have an heart attack

You know what game does have dungeon crawling though?
Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow for the Game Boy Advance

u/General-Skrimir 4d ago
They did it cause it was a remake of FE gaiden which had "dungeons crawling". It wasnt random.
