Fire Emblem Musou/Warriors has exceeded over one million units shipped worldwide

The Fire Emblem IP isn't that strong. No Fire Emblem Mainline title has officially gotten over 2 million sales. Awakening and Fates came close tho.
I say this is a good result. Nobody expected this to ship over a million units
Then, taht is Navarre who is the clone right? Not because Lyn i think.
Lyn was added later in development IIRC. Navarre was likely the basis of the moveset but they gave it to Lyn instead of creating a new one.
Another thing of note, Navarre is known for having two swords in his art, Lyn is not.
Yeah, it's great. It's kind of why I don't mind them rehashing Awakening so much in spinoffs and cameos.
Marth started the series. Chrom and Robin made it mainstream. I would not be surprised to see Marth and one of Chrom, Robin, or Lucina be representing Fire Emblem in crossovers for a long, long time, even when newer games arrive.
But this is also why Nintendo's radio silence on Fire Emblem Switch is getting frustrating. We know it's coming this year from the financial briefing. And that's the first news in over a year about it. I hope it's good, and that it's a 2+ million seller. If that happens, fire Emblem is one of Nintendo's bigger franchises. Which would be amazing.
This fire emblem bout to change the game will be at 4-5 million. A spinoff is over a million. Theres no way a full blow beautiful fire emblem do just double that.
That would be incredible, but I'm hesitant to guess that high until we see the game. But with the way everything seems to sell more on Switch, who knows? Could happen.
I know there are a lot of haters, but the game is one of the best representations of the musou genre and the sales are well-deserved. Here's hoping for a further expansion that introduces a range of characters from the series, clones or not.
Bingo, though many would have us believe otherwise, and I loved Hyrule Warriors.
Fire Emblem Hyrule Warriors crossover.
(This actually sounds neat)
Really glad to hear it as I, as many, was under the impression it didn't perform that well
Was unsure at first but bit the bullet, bought it and have been enjoying it a lot. Has tons and tons of content, even before DLC. Hope to see Season2 or a sequel sooner rather than later!

Navarre is the clone though. Lyn was the original one in this game.
I honestly don't even know how this happened, and I say that as someone that owns and enjoyed the game lol.
Props to KT and Nintendo. I didn't quite like it as much as HW, but it was still a good time killer.

Yeah, I think the mainline title could do 3M, which would be an awesome result.
Deserved. Really satisfying gameplay loop, and I loved the ability to manage AI via the pause screen. Hopefully Fire Emblem Warriors 2 happens so there's more balanced character representation from more games in the series (Genealogy, Thracia, Sacred Stones, and the Radiant duology especially). Hopefully there can be more moveset variety too.
Read my previous post. Navarre was likely the basis of the moveset since he has been shown with two swords in the past but they gave it to Lyn when she had to get added late in development, despite not shown to use two swords until this game. Navarre only came later because he was padding for DLC.
Well i can see your point but Lyn is the original for me cause i dont have to buy DLC :p Navarre is the best character in the game now though
Only thing that bugged me about this game really is that your allies can kill things as long as they are off screen.
As soon as you get close to them so they show up on screen they cease to do anything just stand around while throwing out a single attack every 30 seconds.

With this news, the DLC sales, and the fact they already had a sequel in mind that centered around Valentia, Elibe, and Tellius, it seems a sequel is all but happening. Even if Hyrule Warriors DX sells amazingly, it got two seasons of DLC plus has the majority of the important Zelda characters, compared to FE which even in reperesenting only three games didn't do such a great job.
Most of the Musou spinoff sequels happen with a year or two so I wonder how fast we'll get it. I imagine we'll hear something after the FE16 reveal, or it could happen together of there's an FE Direct or something.
Excited nonetheless.

I mean, last numbers we had for sold in Japan are above 100K for NSW/3DS from the start of the year. I assume 50K more sold/shipped since then.
Knowing that, they just needed like 850 with the US, EU and Asia. FE is more popular in the US today and FEH is The top gacha game in the west, making the franchise more popular than ever, so I always expected at least 300K sold from the US. Add 100~200K to EU and a bit more to Asia, a strong region for all KT games... I always expected like 500K at least, but I guess it did a bit better than I expected everywhere considering digital too - it was charting decently on the JP eshop after the DLCs and discount price.
Yeah I mean, I definitely expected it to do better in the west, but not enough to make it to 1m. I was really thinking the 700-800k range is where it would settle in the end, which still would've been good.
1m, however, is an insanely good result for this game. Hyrule Warriors DE might perform even better.
Add FE Switch and Heroes to the roster, and I will be in full fucking support of this
All the rage over the roster seemed unreasonable. Fire Emblem has a ton of characters and they needed to focus on a few games for the first outing. 23 characters (even with some sharing move sets) is nothing to scoff at for the first entry in the series. Look at another of Koei Tecmos's crossover Warriors games: One Piece Pirate Warriors. First game had 13 playable characters. Second game had 27 (13 from the first game and 14 new ones). Third game has 37 characters (27 from the last game and 10 new ones). A sequel would retain the first games cast and expand.
heh, I have a friend who bought Awakening, Conquest and Echoes after playing this, so no you're definitely not alone
No it wasn't unreasonable, the series has 15 games, focusing on only 3 doesn't make sense, also 14 new characters for a sequel would be laughable, that would mean only 2 games being represented, what do you want? 5 warrior games until every game is represented?
HW launched with only 3 games being represented, also for FEW they went for the first game and the most relevant titles (yes i said it, old games arent relevant to the current audience of awakening/fates). The problem imo is the dlc, in which they decided to bring more characters from the same games i guess because they were still targeting the expanded audience from awakening/fates.
Well technically Fire Emblem Warriors hasn't since it counts the New 3DS version.
Other then that...Bayonetta 2 I guess. Buts also on Wii U. So can't really think of one at the moment
Are these good sales for a musou title? I don't really follow sales much on musou titles. I own the game but don't own a switch, so I'm part of this count.
"Relevant", cmon I think FEH has already shown that it this argument wrong. Also Zelda main characters are always the same 3 regardless of the game, it isn't true for FE.
