Last night I was watching some older Easy Allies videos and I came across the Fire Emblem E3 trailer. I did not remember it looking this promising when I watched it at E3, which is the previous instance I watched the footage. Will this be the year of Fire Emblem?... I mean, no because at least Animal Crossing and Pokémon are releasing this year haha but who knows, it's certainly more popular now than ever before.
The trailer gave me some SERIOUS Xenoblade trailer vibes. The music drop at 1:07 sealed it off to me as that.
The game honestly looked rough technically. Not really impressive compared to other Switch games and it featured heavy frame drops during the footage. It's also very probably docked mode footage. They had a whole year to work on that, though.
Are we really sure this is releasing this spring? It's so quiet... In the case of a delay*, I dunno if they would really want to release it so close to freaking Animal Crossing, Pokémon and whatever else is announced. But a 2020 release is even more unlikely.
I'd expect at least 5 minutes featuring Fire Emblem at the next direct if it's really releasing this spring. 10 minutes if there's no more directs before the release of the game(Let's say april-may).
*I'm not sure if they meant "No delays this year" by "no delays this year" LOL; anything could change, c'mon.
