We also know the Director/Team Ninja portion of the FEW team made MUA3.
On the engine front though don't Gust use the Musou engine as well?
Oh, I didn't know that. Pretty conclusive then.
They do but likewise I'd expect Gust to be credited directly if they were the ones involved. Same for Ruby Party or Team Ninja.
Since it's just "Koei Tecmo" it's likely Kou Shibusawa, which is a division that doesn't seem to get credited by brand as much. Maybe because it's the core "old Koei" team?

But Fates was a success. If you look at reviews and sales figures they did the right thing. And I think this growth will continue with Three Houses.
The engine shouldn't be tied to specific teams right? Does KT have multiple engines for Switch in-house?
As far as I know, no. Team Ninja has their own engine and has used DW9 engine, Gust uses the DW8 engine and it seems like Omega Force went back to DW8 tools
This is what I think too, but a lot of people here don't like it at all.
Color Splace was probably their older engine with a new lighting engine bolted on and can't really take on proper HD development. it wouldn't surprise me if they teamed with KT while theyer own engine is being built
They should go back to making more strategy games. I know Koei still makes Nobunaga and ROTK, but this isn't the Koei that also makes Inindo Way of the Ninja, Gemfire, Aerobiz Super Sonic, or Uncharted Waters. Hell, Koei ported Civilization to the SNES. That was my first exposure to it.
Their Yo-Kai Watch SRPGs are great (original on 3DS, sequel on mobile), and I enjoyed Godseekers a fair bit too.
Also, just to push back against the 'KT + Nintendo best buds' thing... KT is seemingly best buds with everyone. They've made multiple games for SE, Bamco, NIS, Level-5, etc.

It's not that simple.
Previous Fire Emblem games released in the west weren't exactly big sellers, and aside from small adjustments here and there were generally the same as the Japanese releases. The series had declined in sales overall for years, and Shadow Dragon on the DS bombed so hard internationally that they didn't bother localizing New Mystery of the Emblem.
