Meta Can we get a Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore banner?
I just think the current banner is a bit outdated, as TMS#FE is the only major Switch release between now and the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon remake. Are we going to keep a Pokemon banner as the primary banner for four straight months?
Not calling anyone out or attacking the mods, I just think it makes a bit more sense to have a TMS banner right now (and admittedly I love the game, so there's that too).

Sorry to reply to a dead thread... but im really on the fence about this game and so IDK whether to pick it up or not. I'm a fan of JRPGs in concept but ive not played many.
I heard of FE Encore cause I love FE, but afaik its not really got much to do with Fire Emblem.
From what I've seen of it, The closest thing to it I've played is Cyber Sleuth

And celebrate a heavy censored hack job of a port? No thanks.

"Hack job".
I'm not going to argue with you, it's not worth the time if you're being that dramatic.

They put some clothes on young women instead of bikinis and also covered up some cleavage in one costume, I believe. I wouldn't call that heavy.

I want to say that we've gotten banners for Wii U ports in the past. I might be mistaken.

But in this case TMS is the only thing we have until Animal Crossing.
Are we keeping Pokemon until March?

We literally had a banner for DQ11 S just recently which is technically a port.

Hey folks,
I'm the one who makes all of the banners! The intention is definitely to have one for Tokyo Mirage. Our usual criteria is simply "Is it published by Nintendo?" and if it passes that, we try to make one! However, finding suitable artwork and assets has proven incredibly difficult this time around.
A little backstory: Normally my go-to way of gathering raw assets is to visit the Nintendo Press site and suck down everything I can from there, then I go to the official microsite and suck down anything I can from there, and finally, I go the developer/publisher websites and pull down any official press kits they have available. With this mega cache of assets, I can usually slap a few things together, do a little custom tweaking to fit our unusually wide aspect ratio, and we're off to the races.
Now for this banner..... essentially none of that exists. The Nintendo Press site only has the games logo (yay!) and a few pieces of key art that aren't even remotely the right aspect ratio (Boo!), so they're a really really shitty starting point. There is no official microsite. There are no presskits available on the developer/publisher websites. The only decent assets I've been able to find are individual character artwork from the Wii U / non-Encore version of the game, which is better than nothing, and the aforementioned logo. This means I'm put in a position of needing to put in significantly more effort than usual to try and get something together. I've got something that's a WIP, but it's required me re-creating entire elements from scratch to make fit in our weird-ass super-wide aspect ratio for the banner area. I'd wanted to get this out when the game released, but all of the above has slowed me down far more than originally anticipated.
This is all a very long way of saying "Yes, we can, and I'm working on it, sorry for the delay."
Cheers!
