Like I mentioned before, if appealing to the lowest common denominator is whats going to make Fire emblem financially successful enough for me to have another Fire emblem game, I can live with the new scrub modes.
Taking away weapon limits because "it's too micro intensive for new players" isn't a mode.
Not having an endless supply of staves and health/buff items might be a hindrance enough.
I was under the impression that healing staves would be infinite too, but it's more about weapon variety and not being able to just grab the best weapon for the class and then using only that 90% of the time. Awakening still kind of had this issue because of the shops that offered high tier weapons on the map.
In my opinion Sacred Stones had a good system. Your convoy offered the low tier stuff so you'd never end up in a situation where you didn't have weapons, but the powerful high tier stuff was still limited.
As I said before, there's better ways of catering to new players without designing for the hypothetical idiots with no gaming sense IS wants to play its game.
There is, though for Phoenix Mode I don't see it being as bad because as stupid as I think it is, I can ignore its entire existence and play on classic. This however, I can't turn off.
I almost wonder if a lot of people don't necessarily need the help of casual mode to beat the game, but they feel like they need to restart whenever they lose a unit despite the fact that you can beat the game with deaths in your army.
I mean the first time I played Fire Emblem I went up against Nergal with Marcus still in my army as one of my better units due to deaths of squishier characters, and he's incompetent compared to Frederick.

Oh well. This is what the game has to be to survive. They have to evolve instead of being stuck in the past trying to relive their glory years.

That might be more common than even I realize. I don't know how many comments I see on FE:A alone of people being so adamant on not taking ANY losses with their FE experience.
Not sure if IS does surveys or anything but if they collected that kind of data Phoenix Mode might be an effect of that. Unnecessary considering permanent death is definitely going to be a toggle from now on until they do the unthinkable and remove it outright.

Only time will tell if this is actually an evolution. Awakening sure didn't do a good job of illustrating that.

I'm not so convinced of this anymore. Nintendo released the numbers and Awakening has sold 1.79 million copies to date, which shattered the required mark of 250k in order to not be the last game.
Yes Fire Emblem was dying and it needed to be saved, but Awakening clearly worked. The series has been saved and we have lots of new fans that can play in their optional game modes that make the game easier.
These changes, even the Phoenix Mode which I'm not overly against due to its optional status, all feel a bit less like "we need this to continue the series" and more "we had great success with the last game, and now we want more money".

I even understand the mindset, although I try to avoid restarting when I lose a unit most of the time unless the RNG is pissing me off =P
I know Club Nintendo used to do surveys for all Nintendo games, not sure if IS does anything specific themselves.
It is kind of funny that people need this even after all the changes that have been occurring over the years, like your starting Paladin being much better now. Even FE7 Marcus is miles ahead of FE6 Marcus or the man himself who the position is named after, Jeigan.
Jeigan on the NES version is the single most useless unit to ever exist in a Fire Emblem game.
Here is some Gameplay footage from the Japanese Nintendo Direct. Features Stronghold building (hoshido Side) some character interactions and Amiibo support.
Note: Video is in Japanese and has not yet been translated.
Update: Here is a 10 minute video on "My castle" Mode (again all in Japanese
Mode features building, interactions with other characters, open exploration, and invasions from rival armies.
Most of the base building stuff looks good... Then came the waifu face rubbing and **** got weird.

Ooooh base building! Oh wait, it's restricted to one side of the game. Thanks Obama.

That is some creepy stuff halfway through the video. Do you have to rub them on their head with the stylus? And the maid's Japanese voice makes me want to pull out my thumbs.

Pokemon Fire Emblem Amie.
Next we'll be sticking poffins down our resident myrmidon's throat.
*shakes head* What a time to be alive.

A discussion video on new information from the translated Famitsu interview
Yeah the base building and expanded character interaction all sounds great.
but then they had to go and make it weird by having you rub their face.

If it isn't weird, it isn't Japan.
Is this the Fire Emblem X Face/Off crossover that we've been waiting for?

So you get to feel up Butlers and Maids? I feel like i've heard of a game like that before.

Sounds fun.
You know, I'm willing to buy both versions, provided they both combined form the price of a 3DS game over here.
That it most likely will not -- If anything it'll be released together as one copy, and if it does so at the price of a regular 3DS title then we won't have a problem but I'm not gonna hold too much faith in Nintendo for that -- Their policy to DLC isn't that much better than any other game publisher out there.
Agreed.
I hope we get lucky. Because I am interested in the game.
I want to be interested in this game but they are doing a very good job of not keeping my interests. No big deal, there is the crossover and other exciting titles I'm looking forward to now as well
