Marketing -wise wouldn't it be better to promote Elemental FE as Elemental "II" FE?
This has been asked internally, but it has to be noted that, given how WoM fared, it's vital that ELE2, when it does come, needs to 'bring it' in a big way. FE as ELE2 would have people crying that it's not different enough.
I beleive the marking spin ATM is to push the stand-alone nature of Fallen Enchantress..make sure people understand that WoM is getting overhauled in the process (and that we're not just twaeking Elemental and calling it a day).
Even with it being FREE to people that originally purchased the game (and through 2010) we still get flack about "starting a new title when the old one wasn't fixed", and I'd worry that adding that 2 would simply perpetuate the issue.
But if you guys get it and it FEELS like a vastly improved sequel, then we've done our jobs
