I don't see it. Neither how Fire Emblem fans would be much more likely to buy Musou than Zelda fans, nor how Fire Emblem's widened appeal is based on characters and art. The latter is the result of a bigger marketing push than ever before coupled with more accessibility (permadeath can be turned off). |
I see it. I think Fire Emblem Warriors could have been way more successful had it appealed to a broader FE audience(mainly in the west though). It's almost entirely a Fates/Awakening game when the fact is that Fire Emblem is a series where the fanbase is fairly split. It's simply a series where each entry specializes at certain things and there is a niche for each game. It's not like most franchises where the sequels are homogeneous and the fans pretty much just think of the games as one complete timeline. It's a series split between different themes, characters, and events. It's one of those franchises that really excels because of how different each game represents itself.
FE Warriors is simply way more poinent as a concept than Hyrule Warriors. Especially because A ) how much it changes up the Musuo formula and B ) It is based on a franchise entirely about characters
