WELL, that was quite a direct! Some bite sized thoughts on what interested me:

-Dragon Quest Builders 2 and Dragon Quest 11 were both great to see

-While I don't see myself playing Rune Factory 4 again, RUNE FACTORY 5 HYYYYPE

-As someone who like Tokyo RPG Factory's games, Oninaki has caught my eye

-Fire Emblem. Fire Emblem. Fire Emblem. Fire Emblem.

-Hey, Deltarune! Nice! (great trailer as always)

-I think i'll give that DaemonXMachina demo a try!

-Final Fantasy 9 is out today! A great excuse to buy it again for the 20th time!

-Astral Chain looks bonkers. I'm in.

-LEGEND OF ZELDA LINK'S AWAKENING!? WHAAAAAAAAAA.

Whoa, that was quite the Direct! THe only thing I REALLY wanted, I didn't get, but...holy cow. I've added a list of every game mentioned in this direct (with links where possible) to the original post, if anyone wants them. That was a lot of great stuff! And so many dates! We have a date for DQB2, as well! I now have to admit I think the leaked September 13th date for Animal Crossing may be real, as if they were gonna release it when I thought (around June) then I'm sure they would have given it a mention.

My throat still hurts from the RF5 announcement, lol. I swear that grabbed me by the chest. I was amazed at a remaster of RF4 (will DEFINITELY buy and replay like crazy) but RF5 was just...whoa. Link's Awakening was a stunner. Boy is it ever cute...

I may or may not have screeched from excitement over Rune Factory 4 and 5! Definitely a rebuy for me for RF4! Fire Emblem looks amazing! FF9! Link's Awakening! AHHHHHHH!

Most exciting thing for me is RF5. Also super happy about Link's Awakening and DQB2. I'm still interested in FE, but...it doesn't really have me all excited anymore honestly.

Did anyone see the strange Story of Seasons announcement from the Japanese Direct?

http://www.japanesenintendo.com/post/182789742549

I don't understand Japanese (just saw the tweet from Japanese Nintendo) so I don't know if it specifically mentions it's an offshoot like Popolocrois but woof I hope it's just a random one-off and not meant to be the next mainline entry because, speaking for myself, no thank you.

Even if it is the next mainline Story of Seasons game though I suppose I'll survive now that RF5 has been announced. :)

The voice and character model for Link's Awakening is DEFINITELY based on ALBW, but is it me or does the world look sort of...papercraft? I have no idea how they actually modeled it, it looks amazing though.

I freaked out when I saw Link's boot in that opening cutscene. I'll have to go back and watch the trailer...they didn't show Marin, did they? :o Gonna havta go check.

Edit: THEY DID. SHE'S SO ADORABLE. :heart:

It's not a mainline game. Doremon is a beloved mascot in Japan, so this is just another spinoff.

Um...Doraemon X Story of Seasons? Weird! Dunno what to think. If it's like Popolocrois, then I must admit I'm not interested. But if it leans more to Story of Seasons, then count me in.

EDIT: So how did y'all like the Fire Emblem news? Any good? (PS: I didn't actually get to SEE this direct, lol...I was typing and linking everything as the Direct played, so I only HEARD most of it, except for a glance here and there. I think I've sprained my fingers. This is like the internet version of ridiculous hysteria: hand cramps from excessively excited typing.)

Why do I have a feeling that this is not what we’re looking for and it’s just like Popolocrois?

I think that's the case too, Shan...though I will certainly be looking into it. And hey, Bokumono PR tweeted a release date for RF4 Remastered: July 25. (That's in Japan, anyway.)

Aaaand...there's already a RF5 official site. Dunno what's there yet, though. My browser loads a blank screen. The RF4 Switch site loads though.

Overall, i'm pleased with the Fire Emblem news. It looks good, sounds good, and I'm looking forward to learning more. I love that you choose one of the houses, it'll be great for replayability. I also looove how the female avatar looks.

For those of us who just wanted the FE news, here's the segment:

*crawls into the thread*.....
Going in, all I wanted was Fire Emblem... Coming out, all I care about is RF5.... Best Direct ever.... I am exhausted....
Oh but yeah Fire Emblem news was good and Dragon Quest Builders 2, and Daemon x Machina. And that chain thing?? Astral Chain?? For a moment I thought it might've been Xenoblade Chronicles X 2 lmao that would have been wild. ANYWAY IDC RF5 IS COMING AND I CAN DIE HAPPY.
