I hate everything.

Got everyone except Caineghis and NY!Lethe, so I am pretty save when it comes to Bonus units. Gonna start eith Tibarn. If he loses again it'll be Naesala and I'll just go from there.

My linked ballot is predictable: On one of my campus' computers I chose to give votes to Dimitri, Rhea and Takumi

Ugh. Well at least I'm not conflicted anymore.

Oh man I got Nailah as my free summon. I've been wanting her for a year now, so this should be a happy occasion but... Her B-skill would do so much to make AR easier on me. My Picnic!Leo could use it to eat all those pesky Veronicas alive with his Raven Tome. I've been really looking forward to doing all that. Problem is that I also want Nailah for herself and this copy just happens to have great IVs (+Atk -HP). Foddering her would be quite a shame. I even tried pulling another copy, but 70 orbs had me pity broken by Tibarn (goodbye Def bane at least). Can't afford to spend anything more, so I am now at a loss as to what to do. Doing either feels like a waste tbh. So yeah, I am not happy.. just conflicted.

Yeah, it'd actually feel pretty uncomfortable to me. If we get anyone from 3H on a fallen banner it'll probably be Hegemon!Edelgard. It's not possession, but the monstrous transformation didn't seem to help with her mentality.

Again, Felix mostly doesn't bother anyone unless spoken to. A girl could go her entire school career without talking to Felix, but she cannot avoid Sylvain bothering her/drawing her into a relationship only to drop her like a hot potato. Also baggage doesn't justify anything, only explain. Especially when these girls don't have anything to do with his parents or brother. And he is the one approaching them, so Sylvain calling them out on "going after him" for his crest holds no water. Most of these girls are likely in a similar place that he is, having huge pressure on their shoulders to marry well and being objectified. Heck, Ingrid is in fact in the very same situation and you don't see her going around messing with guys and calling them superficial, despite actually being treated horribly by at least one of her suitors. I could mention all the things in Felix's backstory that made him the way he is, but I am not going to pretend it justifies anything. You are entitled to your own opinion, but I think I explained very well why people do not take as much issues with him than they do with Sylvain. Have a nice day.

I never said it did, just that I don't qualify what Felix does as harassment. My original point was that most people would take more issue with someone who actively goes after them vs. someone they have to approach themselves to set off and would otherwise completely ignore them. Also Felix isn't actively mean to every person that speaks to him, see his supports with Annette and Bernadetta. While no big self-flagellation, Felix does go out of his way to apologize to Sylvain for going overboard. He's quickly set off again, but the point is that he is capable of realizing he went too far and honestly apologizes. He does go off again quickly, but that's mostly just comedic banter (with Sylvain clearly not taking any offense).

I meant that most of the time he doesn't actively hunt down people simply to dress them down. He does with Dedue and in Dimitri's B support, but 90% of the time it's the other person that approaches him first and he reacts to them. And with Mercedes, she did in fact approach him first and then treats him like a kid brother, something Felix is very sensitive to due to his past and really doesn't like. It was his right to reject her, though he should have definitely been nicer about it. Point is, having a shitty attitude when approached is not harassment.

Felix does get called out by Ingrid and plenty of people do not take kindly to the things he says. Dedue is fairly indifferent to getting insulted himself, but once Dimitri gets mentioned we see him actually get very angry at Felix. His reputation is also such that even characters he is nothing but friendly, or at least neutral, to immediately assume he has it out for them (Annette and Bernadetta, also partially Lysithea since she assumed he'd mock her for liking sweets when he didn't really care). Part of the reason is also probably that he almost never approaches anyone himself just to insult them. Outside of his B support with Dimitri he just keeps to himself and is blunt/rude to anyone who happens to annoy him when they get close. It's not a commendable attitude at all, but he isn't harassing anyone, while Sylvain actively seeks out girls to fool around with. Also another reason is that a lot of the time Felix shows that he does care for others and is simply shit at expressing it. Most of the characters are aware that his bark is worse than his bite and therefore don't take it too seriously.

I am happy Felix is so high, though I was hoping he'd be a little higher. I'm gonna keep on voting for him regardless, so he hopefully stays where he is or maybe rises higher. Also happy for Dimitri in 1st place and Rhea making it into the top 20 despite the hostility. She really deserves it. Glad to see Lysithea and Dorothea's current placing. The next Brave freebe might be a tough choice between Dimitri and Lysithea (leaning towards Dimitri amd then pulling for Lysithea) Despite Fates drop in popularity, Takumi is still in the top 20s, which proves that he's got a lot of staying power despite not being a Lord.

I also asssume this isn't just for the benefit of the Brave alts, but the alt selection in general. So if War!Dimitri is more popular, we are probably also more likely to see swimsuit/christmas/whatever alts of that version.

Maybe they want to use the plain war phase designs for Legendary alts and something else for the Brave ones.

They already said that the votes between the academy/war versions will be tallied together, so nothing has changed from the initial predicitions. My guess is they did the split to figure out which version to make alts of.

Spending half of my votes on Felix (He's great and I want him in the game). The other half will be split between Takumi (all-time fave) and Dimitri (favourite Lord in the series after Micaiah, who already won).

Me! I love getting pitybroken by her, because it saves me 20k feathers when merging her up further.

They might very well have colour sharing though. Last Thracia banner had two red units, so Intsys might as well not care.

I think Ashe would be a GHB rather than Sylvain, considering when recruited you still have to fight him first most of the time, like Lorenz. If they don't go with seperate House banners, I imagine by now they could include characters who had the most positive initial reactions right after release (minus the ones already in). So it could look like: Felix (Infantry sword) Lysithea (Red Infantry tome) Sylvain (Lance Cavalier) Bernadetta (Colourless infantry bow) Before anyone says Dorothea, she is well-loved in the west, but Japan is rather lukewarm about her, so she could be left for later. Either Felix or Sylvain would demote. As for GHB, it would likely be either the Flame Emperor or Solon, as they are the last two of the Act 1 villain squad.

Went over to Team Veronica, because I missed using her. Tad disappointed about Dimitri's loss, but considering how little people care about VGs at this point it really isn't an indicator of anything.

Yukata and Haregi just describe different types of kimono. Yukata are light summer kimono, while Haregi describe any type of formal kimono, which are usually more intrictately designed.

Got Lethe, Ranulf and Selkie. If the tickets can give me NY!Selkie, I'll have all four colours bonus units. Otherwise I'll just use Leanne for complete beast support.

RNG was finally kind enough to give me a map that was actually possible to beat. Flying Nino almost ruined things, but it worked out in the end. Still wish there were more restrictions on what units can appear so I won't have to face monsters like F!Tiki with such a clown brigade again. That's basically an auto-lose.

Still can't beat the last map, because even stacked to the teeth with amazing skills won't help these gen wunners against any 3rd gen with decent stats.

Going with Dimitri. Just hope the discourse will be mild.
