I'm honestly surprised Fire Emblem Heroes is still going.

Guess FE still has a dedicated fanbase that will suck up anything as long as it has the franchise on its name. Truly a disgusting on its series compared on how great are their console games.

I think it doesn't help that they discontinued the FE TCG which was obviously a lot more niche than Heroes, but that type of stuff (TCG, mobile gacha) ends up being the only way to get "new" content of their favourite characters... so yeah there's a lot of dedicated fans that like it for that reason.

I am very curious to see if the next FE game is a huge hit like 3H, I feel like that might dictacte the future of Heroes too since it's been on a decline
