Fire Emblem Switch: What Are Your Hopes For the Game?

[Cloudman]

While falling asleep last night, 2 more ideas came to mind, mostly improvements. The ideas are:

• A variety of supports for all units: It's no surprise that in the FE games, some characters only get a few supports, mostly late game characters, but in Awakening and Fates there are some who only have supports with the avatar character. This feels like a really missed opportunity to not only learn more about certain characters, but for them to feel fleshed out and perhaps get some humorous moments from them. Characters like Reina, Izana, and Scarlet I feel could have used more supports, especially Scarlet. While not confirmed, there seemed to be hints of romance between Scarlet and Ryoma, aside from I think a dlc map, this is hardly ever touched upon. I'm hoping in the next game, everyone gets their fair share of conversations, even the little late game guys.

 

• An expanded capture system: One of the cool new features in Fates was the ability to capture enemy units, both standard characters and certain bosses. The only problem is, there isn't much to do with captured boss characters, aside from completing a checklist of getting all the units. It would have been more interesting to learn more about them, through some conversations of their own. It can just be a few, such as the avatar unit, a select few from your roster, or perhaps among other prisoned units. Giving them their own personal skills would even make a difference. It would have been much more interesting to learn more about these boss units you can capture. So yeah, there is still potential in this mechanic and I hope it returns, with these ideas in mind.
