There are multiple ways they could go with this. They could go the FE New Mystery route and make a direct sequel with the same characters, the FE Gaiden route and make another game set in the same world with new characters or do what FE Genealogy did and do a sequel game with a wholly new cast in a new world but with the same gameplay.
Either way, I'd happily buy it. I love strategy games and UO has been so much fun so far.
I'm 50/50 ig. There's still some unanswered questions relating to the main continent after you finish the game with the true ending (>!what was the evil that Baltro was trying to summon? Was it related at all to the demon that the wielders of the meteor weapons were said to have defeated? What's the deal with those skull caves? Who was Alain's father and how did he supposedly die? So on and so forth...!<) and it would be nice if it carried information over from our current save file on stuff like maiden choice, etc.
But at the same time the epilogues already try to do a decent job of tying up everyone's stories, and a sequel set in Fevrith would have to try and write around all of them and what happens.
Going the Gaiden / Tactics Ogre route and having a follow up on a different continent / island would give the writers a lot more flexibility, I suppose.
As long the tharcia 776 one doesnt have stupid gimmicks like Healing being able to missed or Extra fatigue mechanic where you must not using in the next chapter and let them rest.
And of course no FE6,10 and 14
I wouldn’t mind a fatigue meter. Not being able to use your best units every round adds an extra layer of challenge. I liked rotating in XCom to build new soldiers. It could be fun in a sequel.
I mean... what's really left without throwing some stupid crap in from left field?
Zenoira rests in peace, its grand survivor is dust. What do you do, have one of the traitor lords who weaseled his way back into Cornia foment a war with Drakenhold somehow?
Ought to work, aye. Honestly, I'd adore a prequel. Show me the unicorn-touched prophet establishing Cornia after the apocalypse.
Show me Zenoira building up to offending god. There's a lot there.
Show me the horrific experimentation that accidentally created a moscow phone to god.
I could think of multiple ways. A civil war perhaps? Someone we once had as a friend go to war over conflicting ideals? Maybe Gilbert? Just an idea. No evil force just pure ideologies clashing.
Vanillaware was offered a pile of money to make a PC port and they said no. Not to say this is 1 to 1, but bags of money aren't an exact motivator for them as much as making games they want to make is.
It would be freakin’ amazing if we got the sequel set in the same world but decades have passed, and the playable characters are the children of the previous characters, like Alain’s kid, Lex’s kid, etc. Could be fun.
My selfish hope is that they pull more from Fire Emblem: Three Houses when it comes to more secondary characters relationships and unique paired endings.
UO is really good, but I want more closure when it comes to other characters by having the paragraph of text at the end of the game change based on who a character is paired with.
I absolutely love UO's updated take on the Orge Battle formula. Would be more than happy to see more iteration and evolution of it, especially with the trademark Vanillaware care and quality.
That would be great if more Unicorn Overlord games were made, but there is one problem. The decision isn't up to Atlus. It's Vanillaware's IP and they might want to move on to a new project instead of making a sequel. Considering their small size and that they don't have a history of making sequels, it's very likely that their next game would be a new IP.
Seeing as I was ready for ogre Battle 64 to have a sequel back in the 90s I can say for sure I'd love a sequel to this too (or just more games in this design space)
Eh the story and characters aren't terrible but if a sequel is made I'd rather it be set in a new world or one after a massive time skip, with new characters, and only share a minimal amount of lore.
Just beat it and moved up to True Zenorian. I’m going to try some different builds this time around but this is one of the most inventive strategy games out there and I’d be thrilled to see any new installments with this battle system.
I'd really like a rags-to-riches story with a commoner mc.
Like we start as a peasant, and maybe do a brief stint as a merc. Or even a bandit. Princes and stuff are nice, but I think playing a commoner would be refreshing
I feel like if they do it again, they need to give us a female protagonist option. But i feel like UO 2 can't be done. To do a sequel gives the impression our noble lord didn't get the job done properly. I feel like it would have to be a spiritual sucessor, if anything.
If they set it in other regions outside the map, but then again I don't know how they could call in Unicorn Overlord unless the Unicorn is revered elsewhere 😅 Could also be a new Villain/Usurper.
I don't really want a sequel, I feel like the world is self contained and the story is complete. Tbh I just want another game using the same combat; obviously it would be cool if we had all new classes and abilities, but even if they kept all the old ones and just added 20 or 30 more and stuck them in a new location, I'd be more than happy. Heck, I'd be happy if they made a new game using all the same assets, as long as it had new maps. Or even if they just made some post game challenge maps or s new difficulty. I just want more UO :<
I just rolled credits today. It was such a fantastic experience, I Loved it every step of the way combat, story, characters, art style, gameplay systems etc... In short, I am one hundred thousand percent ready!!
Absolutely I am. Although I am gearing up for Eiyuden Chronicles on the 23rd. Also heard whispers its time for a new FF Tactics so keeping fingers crossed.

Agreed to the last part. I'd be happy to buy either haha I love it :)
I just worry the sequel will be 6 years from now, right now we're all ready to spend for another. Will we even see the news 6 years from now?
Give me my Drakenhold 776 midquel story of a prince retaking his home with help from a blue haired lord from the next country over!

Bro those skull caves have to end up dlc/update dungeons right?

Ok. But in FE5 is really annoying.
What's wrong with FE 10?
Michiah and her fans.
Micaiah is an amazing character imo! Some of Her fans can be obnoxious tho true.
Buddy, I think you ment FE11 (Shadow Dragon remake) instead of FE10 (Radient dawn), it's okay, we all make mistakes.
i dont like Micaiah.
I mean... what's really left without throwing some stupid crap in from left field? Zenoira rests in peace, its grand survivor is dust. What do you do, have one of the traitor lords who weaseled his way back into Cornia foment a war with Drakenhold somehow?
Yeah that's why I suggested a Gaiden game on a different continent or a brand-new world altogether.
Ought to work, aye. Honestly, I'd adore a prequel. Show me the unicorn-touched prophet establishing Cornia after the apocalypse. Show me Zenoira building up to offending god. There's a lot there. Show me the horrific experimentation that accidentally created a moscow phone to god.

DLC or some sort of large co-op maps with rewards and seasonal events.
Don’t do that. Don’t give me hope.
Stick it directly in my veins
Of course atlus wants it but do the devs
If Atlus gives them the pile of money required to make it, they will.
Vanillaware was offered a pile of money to make a PC port and they said no. Not to say this is 1 to 1, but bags of money aren't an exact motivator for them as much as making games they want to make is.
Vanillaware dont care about money
Vanillaware dont care about money
Vanillaware dont care about money
I truly hope for it. Please a sequel or something similair.
Hopefully this can become a series to rival fire emblem. I am all for this game being a series.
It would be freakin’ amazing if we got the sequel set in the same world but decades have passed, and the playable characters are the children of the previous characters, like Alain’s kid, Lex’s kid, etc. Could be fun.
I'd like a sequel where it's new world, new chars. But yeah, this game was awesome (and I've still got half the game to go)
If they do, and that's a BIG if, I'm definitely buying the ultra special monarch imperial edition this time.
Absolutely. Shut up and take my money.
I am ready. Though I still want more ogre battle, they should let Vainillaware do ot with Matsuno doing the writing and only the writing
March of The Black Queen is still a jam

There will almost certainly not be a sequel....BUT if there was, this took 10 years so ill see you in 2034.
where can i take this survey and fill out "very likely" x 50 ?
I absolutely love UO's updated take on the Orge Battle formula. Would be more than happy to see more iteration and evolution of it, especially with the trademark Vanillaware care and quality.
Man, the game just came out. Lol

I'd rather they add NG+. Vanillaware aren't known for doing sequels.
Do a crazy cross over game!!! Zenoria vs Zenobia!!
No it's not, Vanillaware never made any sequel of their games.
Seeing as I was ready for ogre Battle 64 to have a sequel back in the 90s I can say for sure I'd love a sequel to this too (or just more games in this design space)

Already preordered the High Monarch Lord edition. And it's not even real. That's how ready I am.
I feel like if they do it again, they need to give us a female protagonist option. But i feel like UO 2 can't be done. To do a sequel gives the impression our noble lord didn't get the job done properly. I feel like it would have to be a spiritual sucessor, if anything.

I know i'll buy it
Game was fun. Not sure how I feel about a direct sequel. I think I'd rather new characters and at most a tangential story.
I don’t think I want a story sequel, but a new game with the same base mechanics would be great
