Why no pvp?

[Emphou]

This is the only game i completed twice. And i remember thinking "wish there was pvp in the endgame so i could play more of this" Now a modern remake and they didn't add any new features or content. Would pvp even work here? In Fire Emblem, turn-based strategy pvp was a flop since nobody wanted to attack first.

There is PVP, but its local, you can separate your chars into two teams and have em fight it out on a map, you just need to have someone each pick a team and duke it out. Otherwise the changes are clearly more on the cosmetic side of things, adding a proper online PVP would require significant changes to the game and if you failed to notice this is a over 20 years old game, just given a fair amount of varnish.

This same thing existed in the original (though a little bit differently) and folks figured out how to make that online multiplayer through emulation and addons, so I wouldn't be surprised to see the same thing happen here.

I am disappointed they didn't do anything with the "multiplayer" the PSP had. Where you could download other people's teams and fight them, controlled by the AI. With PC, that could have been pretty awesome.

I think the word you are looking for is, yet. No pvp, yet. I suspect they are reworking and balancing the old PSP pvp stuff, which to be honest was terrible as the AI was crap.
This isn't just a glam up of the PSP version. Every system has been adjusted, rebalanced, and streamlined. Lots of people have no idea what they are talking about when it comes to this game. If you are wanting to know more about what it actually is, hunt down the various streamers that have had access to it for the last like month and have been revealing the crap out of act one, as that's all they've been allowed to reveal. Watch them play and talk about it. Coffee Potato is a good place to start personally.

This game already has PvP. It's called the Steam discussions board.

There is no PvP in yet.

But there are some features in this game that makes the addition of some sort of PvP very plausible.

For one, there is a profanity filter on names. Some skills which have 0 usage in the actual PvE also exist. And their existance would only make sense in a PvP setting. PvP may be something they are planning to add into the game.

If this is just the download another player's team to fight that would be dull, but if they add actual PvP, that would be cool.

You said it right there, emulation. That's a completely different beast. Although some people have managed to add netplay to some old PC fighting games that lacked it, it's anyone's guess if people with the know-how will care to do that for this title.

The Tatics Ogre for the GBA had legit multiplayer via the link cable. It seems odd there doesn't appear to be any here.
