Marth= Poster Boy. There will always be at least 2 FE reps. You are such a Hater, LoZ Fanboy at its finest lmao :)

"If Its not Zelda or Metroid I dont Care!" lol


But he isnt wrong. Fire Emblem just isnt that big of a franchise, so why give it 4 characters in a game?

Fans would want other more iconic character back like ice climbers or something.

I dont have anything against Fire Emblem,  but 4 characters are just too much.


It's not just a matter of how much each franchise is represented, but it's also about what makes sense for each franchise.


Take Metroid for instance.  Sure it's a pretty big franchise, but it is not a franchise with a lot of characters.  The franchise (at least the good entries) is about isolation and slow solitary exploration.  Next to no dialogue and very indirect storytelling.  So, the franchise may be a big one, but representation doesn't make sense.

Fire Emblem on the other hand has tons of memorable characters with well defined traits and personalities.  There are far more possible representatives from this franchise, so I'm fine with more reps from that game.  My only complaint would be the focus on Fire Emblem Awakening.  I'd have rather had them take Robin from awakening and have added Erika from sacred stones or something. 

And lol at Ice Climbers being iconic.
