Yo Silas. How would you feel if FE14 manages to sell 7 million copies, 4 mill from Japan and 3 Million from the West? I know this is not likely to happen but if it did, How would you feel? And what do you think it would mean for the franchise? Personally, I would be so happy for the series and the fact that this milestone would be so important to the franchise.

That is an almost unattainable figure, tbh.  Cumulative sales of Awakening are around the 2 million mark; I haven’t seen any data more current than Nintendo’s announcement of 1.8 mill as of December.

But

I want If to do super awesome because it looks super awesome.  That’s the tl;dr version.

If If does well, it’s fairly certain that certain features are going to become temporary staples (at least for mobile titles) -- namely, Pair Up and player avatars, the features common to the two best-selling entries in recent memory.

The series will continue to evolve in various directions, we’ll just be at a new benchmark for that development -- think of how FE6 led to 7 and 8, mechanically speaking.  FE6 set up the engine, the classes, etc.  The other two added ideas (Thieves promote!  Branched classes!) to that base.

For the record, I don’t think the 3DS FE model is going to be applied to any Wii U titles.  Tellius bias says that IS should use that as a reference for FE15, but I’d wager they’ll expleriment with a whole new system and try to utilize the gamepad, probably for stat screens and the like.  We’ll see.
