I hope so. I've said it before and I'll say it again, the nature of Fire Emblem is such that it should be a tech showpiece on every platform it is on graphically. There's no excuse for the super basic look of FE on 3DS.

I agree. Well if they keep the game the same that is. You know grid based, turn based action. I mean they basically could make a cutscene for every single possible enemy interaction and then just have that play when you battle. Thus all battles could look essentially like a full cg cutscene or anime cutscene or whatever fancy graphics style they want.

The actual fighting is not user controlled. You click the attack you want and watch a "movie" so to speak. So they can make the graphics more impressive than a game that you control. 

I'm more excited at the prospect of 100% voice acted for all text, support convo's, ect. That is what I want. Graphics are fine enough on the 3DS games to enjoy. Obviously they will be better on the Switch, but again full VA is more important to me in FE. It's the 100's of hours of support convos that flesh out every character and their relationship with one another that makes FE games so much more addictive to me than any other SRPG like it.

Yeah, I'm thinking this in conjunction with other comments from them means fully 3D Fire Emblem with different gameplay ... still tactical but more ... mainstream-ish, maybe like what Square has done with the Final Fantasy games (no longer strict turn based battles). 

I doubt they will change the gameplay in battles, but they may spice it up with other elements like the dungeon exploration in Echoes.  And they could have it be full 3D and still have the tactical battle aspect.  They could do away with the grid system however, making troop positioning more organic.  I mean, look at the recent Total War game campaign maps, you can get pretty dang detailed on zoomed out tactical maps.  And the arenas where these fights play out can be reallly detailed too.

I woudl think the better example woudl be from their own game. You know S.T.E.A.M.  That had you walk around the actual battlfield all 3D like. That could have been a test demo in a way for teh future of Fire Emblem gameplay.
