Alright idk if many of you have played the GC one... other than maybe mario_famous, but im typing it out anyway.
This new Fire Emblem seems to be a sequel of Path of Radiance. One of the main characters (the guy) looks exactly like an older Sothe from the game. While he was far from being a huge part in PoR, he did have a somewhat interesting backstory. At the end, i think i remember he was searching for someone. And the chic in this game looks exactly like Ilyana (the chic mage) from PoR, except she has a different eye color... And Sothe is styled/dressed exactly like his younger self in PoR, but this new chic isn't styled/dressed like Ilyana... so who knows.
But yeah... Sothe in this game pretty much makes it a high probability that its a sequel. Wikipedia also pointed out that "At the end of the game, another character, Sephiran, mentions that the causes and effects of the war depicted in Path of Radiance may cause a new war to begin. If true, the conflict in this new Fire Emblem may be what Sephiran had mentioned."
who has played the GC one anyway?
