  1. I know this is super late at this point but whose bright idea was it to cast Yuri Lowenthal as both Marth and Merric (and Eliwood)? Also this trailer bugs me because the demote was shown 2nd instead of 3rd.
  2. It seems it may no longer be unpopular to be okay with how Fates was sold in three parts. There's this current Reddit thread where someone goes on a rant against it and there's a lot of disagreement. The person was also being very dishonest and patronizing in general.
  3. I've always wished gifs just couldn't be used as profile pics. And, let's be honest: the one that prompted this topic is probably a bot.
  4. Happy they're continuing Legends. Just please let it cook this time. Arceus was a ton of fun but also had a ton of issues.
  5. I only have Camilla, but I'd particularly like to get Sanaki and Alear...so of course those two are facing each other in the first round.
  6. It's somewhat dependent on the game (no one cares for Awakening Lunatic+, for example), but the people who care about this kind of thing - unit viability, investment costs, etc. - are the fans who play these games multiple times over and probably end up desiring more of a challenge than normal mode. I rarely see discussions about normal mode if it's not clarified early, and if clarification is asked for, they usually say hard mode, at least from my own experience. It's a common sentiment that the hardest difficulty is where units are pushed to their limits, and so that's where their abilities matter the most. For this context specifically, there's enough BEXP in RD normal that I don't think most people care about it as a cost for units like Meg and Fiona. What matters is how well they use it and where it gets them. It's possible more recent games differ. I barely discussed Three Houses online at all, and when I was discussing Engage a lot of people hadn't yet gotten to Maddening (but also Engage discussion is scarce in general).
  7. You don't need to explain, I agree it's an awful decision. I just think it's not bad enough that the whole mode should be disregarded.
  8. General Don't make a brand new game. Continue to enhance what Ultimate already is. I know this might be a controversial take, but it's the only realistic way for us to keep the roster, and the general gameplay doesn't need much improvement, if any. Fix the damn online. Just all of it. Better alt costumes. There should be an effort to make at least one "unique" outfit for everyone (like the Odyssey Mario), but obviously characters without clear options can be skipped. Modes As long as the main mode isn't Smash Tour, we'll probably be good. The other games have all done well here (for their time, if nothing else). Newcomers 2B Dixie Kong Fucking any female (default) Fire Emblem character with a unique moveset. For fuck's sake, Sakurai (or whoever is responsible for these decisions). Even just make Corrin female-default if you won't add anyone else.
  9. I mean, you're free to think that, but that's basically the overall answer here. People talking about high investment costs are almost always doing so in the context of the highest difficulty. This is what "gives." Consider that normal mode RD has effectively four times as much BEXP as hard mode. And RD hard arguably isn't even among the hardest hard modes in the series. Once you get used to not being able to see enemy ranges it's not that special. Even the lack of weapon triangle isn't unique to it. Nah, Fiona's better.
  10. I'm not sure how important this is to what you mean, but I don't think Engage calls it "body arts" anywhere. I've only ever seen it as simply "arts." I guess there is the Iron-Body Art...but that's just one weapon. Some languages, including Japanese, do have it as "martial arts," though.
  11. I don't think it will be a Fates character, too soon after Camilla. Could be M!Shez, though. The real wild card is Emblems. As far as I know, we don't know what the scheduling on them is. We've always known mythic or legendary based on the calendar telling us which it is, but since Emblem Marth was introduced alongside a mythic we don't know if that was a special thing or something we can begin to expect going forward. This month certainly has the space for two newbies. Even March and arguably April do. But if we start getting two per month, that's going to bloat the pool really quickly, and in time remixes will fall further and further behind if that pace doesn't increase to keep up. To be fair, if they wanted they could slow down the pace of new legendaries, as there aren't many big names left, but the unfortunate reality is that we're probably more likely to start seeing fewer lore mythics. And I really doubt they'll limit emblems to those that were in Engage.
