Well western babies couldn't take the gameplay of Echoes since it was 'not Awakening/fates' (And no, I'm not Elitists, I actually enjoy all FE games equally), so sales tanked hard, so it's not popular, and because of that there is very little art for it in general
Fates is up to almost 3M, sure it is out longer, but nobody is buying Echoes anymore Game is good, but has 0 replayability compared to Fates & Awakeninig, so yea, it is pretty bad in comparison
It is like 3x less bought then Fates or Awakening, that is VERY bad, that is big popularity drop which obviously will project on things like fanart, fanfiction and so on
It had a much lower budget and much less marketing. It surpassed Nintendo's expectations in terms of sales, in the first month, physical copies were actually running short. It looks bad out of context, but with context it sold very well.
#1725369 Echoes has post game stuff, granted it could have been a lot better but it still gave us a neat super boss and some much needed lore for Awakening. As for replay value, it has different difficulty settings and you do get a few options for reclassing, again could have been a lot better but it's something.
#1725341 I don't think the gameplay was the main issue, unless you're talking about the dating sim and eyecandy elements not being included, then yeah. Honestly I found a lot of the differences in Echoes pretty interesting, gaining unique skills from equipment was a neat idea and pretty well balanced since a lot of them required HP to activate instead of relying on RNG, utility spells like Warp actually felt like a decent option to consider using in any battle since I wasn't limited to a ridiculously strict number of uses for the entire playthrough, archers FINALLY felt viable since they have some decent range, and the turn wheel was a very welcomed addition for both casually and hardcore fans alike. I hope a lot of that stuff gets brought in for newer games.
My biggest gripe with Echoes was most of the maps being a lot bigger then they had any right to be and occasionally kinda BS, especially Celica's desert and swamp maps. >.> Also the dungeon crawling wasn't terribly fun.
