That banner aged horribly as well, especially with all the times it could be voted before finally being put down. That said, aside of Mirabilis, I agreed with all the units chosen. Agreed.

As an Awakening fan, this got to be the worst banner they ever introduced of that game. First of all, we already got one at the beginning of Book 6. Female Grima again!? And do dragon really need an Arcane weapon right now? No comment about Gregor or Ricken. Phila... really? I mean I understand that Awakening is getting low on units, but surely Vaike or Kellam are more popular than her despite being males. Eir wasn't surprising so no comment either. But here's the thing that really piss me off. And don't get me wrong, it's 100% bias... ...But why it is that it's Gen 1 again!? Like come on! Not even a single Gen 2? Severa? Inigo? Noire? Not even Laurent? It's the third Awakening in a row about Gen 1! They couldn't at least have just one!? Very bad banner, Eir and Grima won't be able to carry this banner for certain.

I'm guessing their hair and eye colors is a result of being the secret child of the good dragon (blue) and the fell dragon (red). Will it have a story impact? Maybe. It depends entirely on the writing. It isn't the first time it would happen since being a child of the bad dragon happened in both Awakening and Fates. A protagonist being a combination of both is new however (if you don't count Lucina if her mother is Robin). It might have greater impact on the plot is the writers know how to use it.

I think people are forgetting that if they include only Edelgard into the game, Dimitri and Claude fans would be very upset. You either include all of them in or you don't at all.

Because... maybe IS doesn't prioritize adding base versions of characters as much as people think? Only when they fill it's time for a new heroes banner of that particular game? I mean don't get me wrong, you are far from the only one who made that comment before and it's not necessarily bad to think about it. But the issue I see is that people think that IS should focus on adding the "normal" version of each popular character is complete bullshit. Perhaps for them, just adding the character --no matter in what ridiculous costume they are wearing-- when the time is right is enough to serve its purpose. Even when it causes dumb stupid moments in Forging Bonds like Felix in a Santa costume talking seriously to Dedue or more recently, Summer Noire during the Awakening children shenanigans with Brave Chrom. IS does whatever the hell they want. If it means adding another Hilda because she's popular, screw it they will do it because they know she sells. Oh and also, the fact there's still quite a few characters are still stuck in "alt purgatory", further prove my previous point.

My biggest fear about the story is how generic and bland it might become. That's at least what I picked up from the trailer. I can safely say we were spoiled with Three Houses, and perhaps it set the bar too high for the next installment. I also fear it might turn into Fates 2.0. Good gameplay but with terrible story with a terrible main protagonist avatar that is the center of attention in almost every dialogue.

I would say "any characters that aren't the main lord" but I think that ship has sailed already. However I do wonder about healers. Are they going to be ringless? No main lord aside of Micaiah can use staff and I'm pretty sure she has Thani. There's obviously going to be DLC Emblem Ring for sure, for the missing lords. As for the villain rings, I can already guess each villain. It's either the evil sorcerer or the evil dragon or perhaps some oddballs (Kronya, Black Knight, Ashera)

Thorr and Loki, there's flowers covering some part of them and a water splash for another pose.

I feel bad for Eirika fans, they can never recover their orb stash before IS throws another alt at them again. Lmao, the censorship for the goddess alt is hilarious.

Please, please, please make Kjelle's refine good. Like it doesn't need to be as stupid as Bector's refine, but at least make it work! I would really like it if it's the first savior weapon, that would be cool!

The position of the purple hair dude during the meal sequence makes me think perhaps this is a new Avatar. If that's the case, we might have a Radiant Dawn scenario where we, the player, can control different armies that might face off each other in battle during the story.

Please don't put words in my mouth. Because again, it's not about characters I want, I just simply find the choice of characters boring and not interesting. Especially Mia and Illyana, they don't make sense from a lore perspective, they were simply chosen because they are women and popular. Of course, but I wish they would expand on that concept a bit. Seeing younger heroes who aren't kids could be more lore interesting. Nvm then.

I'm not really sure what is the point of that part because it's literally what I said. Thórr's intervention is a lore explanation to explain how these younger versions of heroes can compete with grown adults in combat. That's basically it. They will continue to use that explanation for any of these "child banners" as necessary. The first thing I want to say is that I'm not even sure if Thorr or Loki ever erase anyone's memory if they involved them. I don't pay a lot of attention to those Paralogue dialogue anymore. Also, I'm pretty sure any units that would return to their world, younger version or not, would affect the course of history in their world. I don't think that's a really a possible explanation. Thorr's intervention is a lore explanation to elaborate on a gameplay feature. I'm pretty sure from a lore perspective, these kids are still at their normal strength. It's just IS saying: "This is how these kids acquired their broken weapons and skills you most certainly don't want to miss out on!" Not necessarily. Again, their involvement is to explain how kids can even fight grown adults. Young Titania, Greil, Oscar and Elena are adults (or late teenager for Oscar?), with less battle experience yes, but their bodies are most suitable for combat. The goddess could still be involved by blessing them with weapons or skills, but I think that would just ruin the entire point of the banner. From someone who is more interested in the story, I would like to see the earlier days of the Greil Mercenaries. Their struggles, how they managed to get by every day, etc. It's never really shown in the Tellius games, just mentioned by a few characters from time to time. Heroes as its limits, but it could work even if a FB for them would be better.

I am not even the slightest interest in Tellius when it comes to its units so I would avoid making assumptions if I were you. I just look at those units and all I see is just better versions of older units, there's nothing different aside of tome color changes. It's boring and uninspired in my opinion. If fans of those units are happy, good for them. Personally, I would be upset to have to waste orbs for a better and modern version of an unit I already own and invested a lot of skills into them. Thorr's intervention was just an excuse to explain how kids their age can even possibly compete with grown adults in combat. It's not a requirement for the banner, just a lore explanation of how it's even possible. Christmas Zephiel happened and he isn't a kid. The Paralogue could just be that young Titania and Gawain got summoned from a time they were trying to make the Greil Mercenaries work at its earliest stage with Ike's mother and young Oscar. Saying 'oh we need Thorr' is false, IS makes the rules. They can decide to make it only a kid banner or not, that's their choice and only theirs.
