Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave almost had 8 protagonists in a "bold" attempt to surpass Three Houses, and I'm so happy the devs talked themselves out of it
Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave director Toshiyuki Kusakihara revealed the game was initially planned with eight protagonists, a bold attempt to surpass Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Developers ultimately decided to scale back to four protagonists to avoid overwhelming players, a decision the author agrees with, finding the prospect of eight too ambitious and potentially diluting the narrative.
