Orange and maroon? Hm, interesting. Too bad I wear white all day long! (Lucky me, having a work uniform!)(Note: Sarcasm)
And oh, you knowwww I love Fire Emblem and obsess about it over and over and-- HEY WHUT. It's a fun fandom.
As far as FE9 goes, I own both FE9 and 10, but I don't have the drive to pick them up and play them. I'm not going to say the games are bad, per se, because some of the characters are really interesting, but IMHO, the anthro-y characteristics of these laguz things is just... It's not Fire Emblem. It never will be. Not to me. The game might be fun and enjoyable, but in my eyes, it would be more like a Fire Emblem ripoff than the real deal, simply because they had to go and try to make the game "cool" (and they did NOT achieve that effect in my eyes).
It was always been about...the humans. Not these half-human half bird/cat/whatevers. I mean, the character designs are cool, but they remind me more of some kind of Piers Anthony fantasy novel than a medieval setting (with pegasi and dragons) type thing. (And I happen to love that setting!) No matter what they do, they won't attract a lot of fans. I'm sorry. Fire Emblem is just too ...out there for that. But if they continue to make games, and they continue to fail in the eyes of their biggest supporters and fans... they will regret it in the long run. (Another game with anthro-like characters, and I won't bother even thinking about Fire Emblem anymore aside from FE7 and FE8.)
