jesus. the lady holding the lance's design is absolutely gorgeous. if kozaki ever comes back in some capacity and starts whipping out designs like that, i'm immediately sold on anything that's churned out. it can be the worst fe game ever, i'd buy three copies.

they're the same person- if you compare the outfits, the haircut, fur collar, leg armor, gloves, side plating, and cape are the same- the commander also has his headpiece shown as an outline, rather than it being drawn on (the line by his temple). so, whoever he is, he's definitely either nobility or a high ranking army officer. and a paladin, considering the lance.

honestly? i don't care if pair up isn't back. pair up is nice, but it's definitely not a requirement by any means. i actually prefer the rescue function compared to pair up, save for the "attack stance" part of pair up- that's pretty much the only part i'd keep if it was getting scrapped. as well, there's no real need for it. gaiden wasn't designed with pair up in mind, so to remake it with pair up would get awkward. plus? dungeons! that's way cooler imo.

i love it! i've always been really keen on hidari's style, especially in regards to her textures and the like. it's really textural, and has sort of a painterly/fabric like look to it. it's also really different when compared to kozaki- kozaki's designs are really structural, with a fairly limited and really vibrant color palette that's usually one base color, one to two vibrant colors, and then gold (in fire emblem armors, anyways). it's a far cry from hidari's, who tends to have less structural designs and uses more color. as well, her designs tend to appear less cohesive with the other characters, in my opinion? they're more character personality-focused, rather than role focused. which isn't to say kozaki sucks- i like his art loads, but i don't think i'd want him on for three games in a row. :/ yeah, that's for a reason- kozaki actually never played an fe game before being signed on, so he wasn't really influenced as much by past game designs.

i think it's possible he might be zeke? although a character overhaul that includes hair in his case might be odd, i don't think they would release full-body art for a guy who's just be a chapter boss or a minor antag. of course, it is also completely possible that they did give one of the mounted bosses a larger role- but the headpiece he's got screams high ranking- either nobility, or commander/general or something. so i find it unlikely he's just a boss or something. whoever he is, he's cute enough that i forgive him for the bowl cut.

> rewrites due to subtle innuendos > " ...L-Loli..." other than that, i think it's very good, and i do actually prefer it over the in-game conversation.

yeah, the models isn't a big deal for me- long hair is hard to model without clipping, so it's whatever for me. i haven't noticed that on the portrait, though, if only because i'm using a different hair (bangs, two strands back) for my mu, and the hair is definitely not that long. but... that's some serious clippage, my man.

yeah, gold is scarce. the good news is that the weapons don't break, and that visit/battle bonus box is a thing, as well as random item chance in my castle (which... eh? candy canes aren't what i'd call a good weapon). but seriously, that raider yumi has saved my ass so many times. kagero's dart, on the other hand... i've probably bought only javelins, tomes here and there, a fruit knife, and some lances from my armory, give or take a few. i just haven't needed to.

| FC | 0361-7781-4794 | Castle | 05511-27460-65999-96844 Nohr; Default castle style Kirin / Ft. Kirin (I'm still coming up with a name, OTL...) NA Region Wheat / Onyx I just started playing, so it's an easy difficulty.

most likely, the added years onto the FP timeline is the cause of yen'fay's change of actions. he's very much older in one of them (around a decade), and due to the added fighting, the world was a different place. the yen'fay you can recruit spotpass is also shown to be different than the one you defeat in-game, as well. so it's most likely that what caused his change in actions is a combination of the world's environment, and his world experience (brought on by a vastly different setting and being older). those culminated in a dead say'ri for that world. the same reasons are why we see an alive say'ri- a shorter war and a younger yen'fay means he's going to be in a drastically different state of mind and life.

personally, i wouldn't have picked niles, even if it does technically stick with the theme of "zero" in his name. it's certainly a good name and the keeping the theme is good, but no. because: it's just too close for me. i can't take him seriously. i'm not crazy about "beruka," either. "belka" is perfectly fine, or even belinda? either way, it's less of a 180 that took place for her.

this was actually elaborated on more on tumblr-- she literally faints on the battlefield and stuff whenever she sees a pretty girl, so she goes to m!kamui for help so she doesn't flop onto the ground like a dead fish. in the middle of a battlefield. i take it we all understand why fainting in the middle of a battlefield is Not a Good Thing. it's less "make me straight" and more "make me not faint around girls and be smooth as hell around them too," really. also, she's not a lesbian? it's stated in a support (foleo? i have no clue who that is, i'm avoiding character images and such, so i just know his name and he's a child character) that she's bisexual. i'm not saying that these supports aren't bad in their own ways, but he's not drugging her to make her straight, nor is there any conversion therapy going on here. (in no way am i saying that it's okay for him to do it without her knowing, though.) also, those supports with eponine... i'm cringing. so bad. from what i've seen, soleil has some serious girl/girl relationship fetishization going on, as well as... unhealthy levels of idealism and such over girls. it's like a horrifically bad fandom interpretation of inigo going on there. except it's canon. quite honestly, i'm hoping for a serious nerf of soleil overall, especially when it comes to her personality. like, henry x20 or something. fates is going to have its problems, but i'd like soleil to not be one of them.

i mean i'm gonna buy the game, 2-in-1 or not. i do hope it is two in one release over here (at least a special edition). one less cartridge to keep track of is a good thing. well, i'm assuming- i've seen estimates anywhere from 2-6 months after the actual release date, so likely around the end of the year, or october-november-ish. it could also be early next year, but i'm thinking that localization might not be at the same time, considering it wasn't for the maingames. that being said, i think it's pretty safe to say next year.

i'm personally hoping they do- i really want that artbook, tbh. concept art and the like is my weakness. it's also mentioned it's going to be sold as two over here, which is another reason i want special edition. i'm hoping that they do end up releasing or making more than they did, as there was such a high demand. plus, it would increase my chances of getting my hands on one, lbr.... and also, yeah-- the DLC doesn't come out until next year, but the special edition gives you a code for it. so you basically have it preordered, if that makes sense.
