I want to be very clear that IS, despite their name, is NOT a smart company. If they were smart, then they wouldn't have made Engage because Heroes already does what it set out to do. What IS should have done is continue the Echoes series by creating the Jugdral remake.

If they had learned their mistake from SoV where they kept the old game's mechanics almost entirely 1:1, further polished Fates' core mechanics, introduced a Holy Blood system similar to Crests, maintained the serious tone of both FE4 and Houses, reintroduced eugenics because of the time-skip, and saved 776 Echoes as downloadable content, they would have made bank. This is non-negotiable.

Then, they could have used that earned money to put back into "fixing" Houses' numerous flaws that make it "not a FE game", updating the graphics so everything isn't muddy, correcting terrible story beats and scripts, and made even MORE money from that re-release. That would've given the company enough money and time to go into a new setting.

Ideally, though, it would still take place in the same world as Houses, but visiting everywhere but Fodlan: Sreng, Almyra, Dagda, Brigid, etc. Keep the setting familiar, but new and different at the same time.

IS should pay me for my ideas, but they don't have the money to do so because of how badly they dropped the ball!!
