I want to hear people talk about their fan game ideas, as I have one of my own
Please share your ideas first.
Alright then.
I donāt have the tools for it, this is more of a concept than anything.
The gameās called Fire Emblem: The Benched
The premise is essentially, make the characters people donāt use into actual enemy threats, and have The Benched be the equivalent of Risen
The Benched will be patchwork units comprised of other unitsā body parts, and their names will literally just be their class, (i.e. LORD, CAVALIER, KNIGHT, etc)
Itās meant to be a horror piss take about how people never use units like Caesar, Radd, etc
I want to make a mini hack about Shouzou Kaga Emblem Ring, but you are only given one unit until you can recruit more after getting the ring (with the ringās powers of courseā¦)
I have quite some few fan game ideas. Out of all these one of them might be probably the most serious one, since itās meant to be a deconstruction and reconstruction of some general story ideas, some of them not even just being ones from main FE games, specifically ones that are about revolutions, rebellions and how badly they can go if one isnāt careful, how each man has their own specific idea of freedom, and how this would clash with other peopleās lives.
Another one I have in mind is one where a group of people end up losing their world thanks to strange creatures that eat other peopleās spirits to create more of them, and they go to other worlds to save them from this fate, and these worlds are from different IPs than FE. This one is not only a bit more optimistic, but it is a bit more goofier (and pretty much being a typical fan fic story) due to some of the IPs being a bit more out of place for the FE franchise, as in theyāre either more meant for a younger audience or are just straight up weird, but it still has its serious moments. It also includes cameos from actual FE characters. Yeah, if you replace FE with another game franchise, then this is pretty much similar to another game franchise. If you know, you know.
My idea has been pretty simple I guess⦠Itās just a bad ending though. Maybe my pfp is self-explanatory.
If humanity was faced with 2 options, what would they choose? The options are:
- Eternal corruption. Your soul gets tainted and you lose your free will. You become the devilās pawn.
- Destruction of world. Everything gets destroyed.
Naturally, people will try to find a 3rd option in such scenariosā¦but suppose a 3rd option isnāt feasible at all. What would people choose? Well I know there will be some who choose 1st option because they believe as long as they survive they have hope. There will be those who believe living a tainted and disgusting life is worse than death. Both of them will end up fighting. But itās just a weird fantasy at this point. One of my dangerous ideas I guess.
Thatās what I was thinking for a bad ending of my game too, except itās a bit more dark
There are a couple of units from other Fire Emblem games that were taken by the Benched and corrupted. If you donāt save them all, the next time you see the Fire Emblem title, itās stripped of all personality, leaving it as just a black background with plain white text on it
Looks like our ideas are very alike but not entirely same.
Another thing Iām thinking of is basing the designs of the ātakenā characters on Edelgardās Hegemon Husk, while also removing their faces entirely. Because who needs to remember the face of a useless b1tch like Caesar, Radd, Roshea or Vyland?
About 20 years ago, I had a game Idea called āFire Emblem: Warriors of Arentaā (later renamed Dark Legacy) which tried to bridge the gap between Elibe and Magvel by using a continent called Arenta which began trading with both of the others by sea shortly after the events of FE6 and FE8.
I have it written down but donāt actually recall the details of the story right now. But it centered around an object called the Shadow Seal (Arentaās Fire Emblem) which is connected to the histories of both Fomortiis and the Dragonās Gate, explaining the origins of the Demon King, where Myrrhās tribe came from, and what happened to Dragon society on the other side of the Dragonās Gate after the original Scouring.
An idea Iāve had for a long time is:
(Warning: long text)
A story centered on psychological horror and survival(although it also has some funny moments). The continent is being affected by an inexplicable phenomenon that allows individuals and entities from other worlds to appearāsome of which shouldnāt even be real, and others that should be dead. Kael and his group must discover what is causing these apparitions while trying to survive in a world where not all threats follow the same rules.
(Youāve got original characters like:
Albrecht, the Jagen
Ciro, your friend with an above-average IQ
The Pegasus Knight sisters: Miriel, the eldest; Cassandra, the middle sister; and Anastasia, the youngest of them all
Lune, your cleric
Rook, a reformed bandit⦠But donāt expect much from a psychopath
Lucan, a cold, emotionless, edgy Myrmidon⦠and a chef
Theo, a horseman specializing in social sciences and a sociologist
Dux, an ancient god, predating civilization, with a power beyond our comprehension⦠Wait, itās just a duck)
It also features characters from various horror movies, video games, and other franchises
Since itās Fire Emblem, horror-themed and introducing characters from other worlds⦠Ashley and Andrew?
No, I donāt plan on including those two.
