I know even the Xenoblade Chronicles have had poor presentations but have delivered amazing experiences despite. Hopefully this will be true for this title. |
Well Xenoblade Chronicles 2 became the best selling Xeno game (even beyond Xenoblade) in the franchise despite not having the greatest of presentations prior to its own Direct (?).
I think Nintendo just needs to continue pushing Fire Emblem Three Houses. Use some time of E3 to promote Three Houses, including demonstrating it during Treehouse. Heck, release a demo like they did with Awakening. The demo sold me on Awakening and its one of my favorite games of all-time.
And different is not always bad. Zelda BoTW aimed to depart from the conventions of 3D Zelda and is now the best-selling title in franchise history. Xenoblade Chronicles X found some success as well, albeit to a lesser extent compared to BoTW, even though the artstyle and setting are way different from the original Xenoblade.
Edit: And Xenoblade 2 also had some people turned off with the fan-service. But as I said, its the best-selling Xeno game and is still well-received.
