well, i'm glad we managed to understand each other

no i haven't, i was busy and barely got a free minute to write my previous post; also i'm happy that others had the time to make "better points", i just felt like sharing my opinion on the matter, be it "good" or "bad" anyway, no, i actually do not care about any kind of representation that isn't "every game deserves a moment to shine at least once in a year, especially underrepresented/poorly represented games such as Thracia", but even then, i'd be happy even if just 2 of my favorite characters either get an alt or are added to the game at all, such as Arthur with the latest Genealogy banner or Rhea with the Fallen banner: that's literally all it takes to make me say "ok, this year's been great" color representation IMHO is the most random thing ever and is purely functional to matters such as color distribution in a specific banner, so i don't think it deserves my concern same goes for movement types: i personally hate armored units but i have a +10 winter Manuela because i like her character a lot different body types in summer banners? yeah, never gonna happen: their "sex sells" mentality is just too important not to milk (please laugh) their most visually appealing characters, especially female ones i don't want to disregard others' opinions, of course, so be free to disagree with me, but this is what i think

i honestly don't care about this kind of representation: the only thing i care Heroes does is adding my favorite characters, nothing else, and honestly they've been doing a great job lately, as far as i'm concerned this said, Duo Bride Meg+Groom Zihark would be hilarious

imho Silver Snow is just as woth playing as Verdant Wind if not more, it think it has some very interesting parts and dialogues most notably you get more Rhea screen time (of which admittedly you have quite a few in VW as well), and honestly she's one of the most interesting yet overlooked characters in 3H and if you don't care about her then get out of my sight the repetitiveness factor will definitely show up a lot, but if you played every other route then i guess it's not a problem for you anymore

i'd say either Mercedes or Marianne or Rhea i've always felt like they're the female characters i'd get along with very well, and the kind of person i'd like to have around

as i love the concept of martial artists in JRPGs and RPGs in general (like, how can you not love a character that's able to slap the shit out of literally god), here's the concept of a martial artist/monk-inspired class line i presented in some older topics Class: Hermit (M/F) Tier: Base Class Bonuses: +5 Accuracy, Avoid and Critical (when unarmed, additional +5 Acc/Avo/Crt is granted) Weapons: Bare Fists (if no weapon is equipped)/Gauntlets Movement Type: Infantry (6 Mov) Class Line: Hermit -> Ascetic (Promotion Items don't work with Hermits, they automatically promote to Ascetic class immediately after Level 21 is reached, just like in Path of Radiance) Class: Ascetic (M/F) Tier: Promoted Class Bonuses: +10 Accuracy, Avoid and Critical (when unarmed, additional +5 Acc/Avo/Crt is granted) Weapons: Bare Fists/Gauntlets Promotion Bonuses: +2 HP, +3 Str, +2 Mag, +2 Skl, +2 Spd, +1 Def, +1 Res (M); +2 HP, +3 Str, +2 Mag, +2 Skl, +2 Spd, +0 Def, +2 Res (F) Movement Type: Infantry (7 Mov)

Arthur is in the game (with great artworks too) and that's what matters to me yeah, it's damn garbage that him and Scathach don't have PRF weapons (or anything decent to begin with, in Scathach's case), but i mean it's not like I$ ever made us think wiener-abled demotes ever deserved anything at all also yeah, Ascended Isthar is super boring, but at least she looks cool

so, PoR kids here are my opinions literally no one asked on the matter: Mia: i'll never get why she's so popular, but whatever, i'll keep ignoring her as i've always done Soren: cool that they kept the aspect of him not knowing how to speak, but i wonder if he'll actually say some words in his voiced lines Ilyana: i like her, but honestly i would've picked someone else. she's her usual self, except shorter, which i think is the entire point of these banners Ike + Mist: they're super cute, and i love that Ike's sword looks very similar to his Royal Sword Boyd: FINALLY. anyway, i don't get why people say his artworks are bad, i actually love the bright colors and the artstyle in general yes, i would've liked to see Elincia too, and the fact that she functionally "lost her chance" is disappointing, but honestly i'm fine with this selection so, i'm just waiting for the year they announce 3H kids and everyone loses their mind

i must agree with those who suggested Mia (left) and Soren (right), that hairstyle is too unique at first i thought the character on the left was Mareeta, but then i remembered they just released Ascended Mareeta, so yeah also, i can't but wonder why Mia is considered to be so popular and profitable to make yet another alt of her, instead of adding a still unreleased yet visually similar (and thus, potentially equally profitable) character like Lucia one thing, though GIVE ME YOUNG MAKALOV, PLEASE

well, i wasn't really eager to see BotW2 being released, so this announcement doesn't bother me at all also, not even for a single second did i believe they would've released BotW2 this year, so yeah, i'm not surprised

.hack G.U. Last Recode i was interested in this collection when it first came out on PS4 and soon lost interest in it when i learned that these 3 games actually take place 7 years after the previous 4 ones, and that the .hack franchise also consists of other forms of media such as manga series, light novels and anime (which i'm sure none made it to Europe, much less Italy), i just realized it would've required too much time and effort, which is a shame because i'm actually interested in trying them out as games, not as elements of such a fragmented macro-story Shin Megami Tensei and Persona series i actually bought P5R Royal and P3 Fes (PS3 digital store), but i still haven't played them because 1) there's too much stuff i'm playing right now (my probably 175+ hours long Elden Ring first run, every Valkyrie Profile game considering Valkyrie Elysium's announcement, etc.) and 2) i'm the kind of player who wants to play a videogame series following its release order (also part of the reason why i'm not getting/playing .hack G.U. Last Recode anytime soon), even when the games aren't really heavily related, and for this reason i would feel like i'd need to start with the very first Megami Tensei game, and then proceed to play them all, and then move to Shin Megami Tensei, and lastly Persona god i wish days were 60 hours long

got an Ascended Mareeta (+hp -res) thanks to a ticket glad i got an ascended flower for my +10 Brave Ike, an arena bonus unit and an excellent fodder unit for my +10 Ayra for free

you lost me at "i would include an avatar" serious answer: you lost me at "i would include an avatar" as i think a Genealogy remake should be as faithful to the original game as possible, so aside from minor changes (being able to select exactly how much money you want two married characters will trade), i'd spend basically no money in changing how the game plays, in favor of how the game looks and sounds

Xenosaga, Valkyrie Profile, FFVII, VIII, IX, FF Tactics, Brigandine

well thank you, i didn't expect that! and s happy birthday to @Fire Emblem Fan and @Zephiel is Daddy too uhm no, i didn't know that, cool

Fire Emblem Fates i expressed myself on the matter a considerable amount of times, i don't think i have to reiterate Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE aside from the definitely good battle system, i found basically everything else to be so painfully bland, generic and boring that i just couldn't bring myself to finish it Fire Emblem Three Houses it's not like i hate it nor anything like that, in fact i definitely don't dislike... but i can't say i like it: it has many good aspects, but the flaws are just too many for me to ignore them Any Tales Of game I've played aka Symphonia, Abyss and Phantasia: this is completely personal, as i just can't appreciate the battle system (i didn't dislike Phantasia though) Dark Souls 2 i knew of its bad reputation, but i hoped i could get past it i couldn't, and they were right Final Fantasy XV looks stunning, plays the same from beginning to end, great soundtrack (thank you Yoko Shimomura), its development has been so problematic they had to cut story elements from the base game, except they added them as DLC contents even though the game's story ended up not being able to fit those elements anymore

1) yes 2) no no matter how many flaws i can say Fates has, you won't ever hear me say that Conquest, Birthright and Revelation feel like games made by recycling contents to an exhausting level (Revelation is debatable, but nowhere near 3H), and that they make you feel like they're unfinished products on the other hand, these flaws are definitely present in 3H, precisely due to the fact that it features multiple routes

sticking with trash-tier banner names, huh? anyway, quite pleased to see Hugh and Niime, and also inheritable colorless tomes i never liked Cath and i definitely won't now, and Idunn... i'm indifferent Gonzales is cool, although i'd have liked Geese much better

for point 1, they might just shorten the "filler" part to a single episode where they quickly show that they repeat the cycle a few times, and some little changes here and there (most notably with bosses) as for point 2, that's actually a better argument, you can't adapt how Agnés's pendant works, nor Bravely Second's finall boss fight, and many other things ...still, i'd love to see an animated version of Ringabel

good writing and the fact that they at least cared to give a name to the continents FE4's and 9's stories take place back on topic, i'd say Bravely Default and Second don't really know why, nor i know if they'd make for good anime adaptations, but the moment i tought about it i knew i needed it

i just want to see Mercedes with a different haircut, i really dislike her post-timeskip hair actually now that i think about it, playable Mercedes and Rhea might light an infinitesimably small spark of interest toward this game in me

literally me right now so 3H Warriors is actually a thing, in the sense that people were actually paid to make this decision as i would have basically nothing positive to say on the matter, i'll just say that this is a genious marketing operation and the game will sell like hot cakes and now, back with the "come on, [insert Pre-Awakening FE protagonist name] and [insert Pre-Awakening FE protagonist Name] will be playable in the next game"

i completely agree with everything you said, except for the "Genealogy's clunky gameplay" part, although i agree that they should allow players to select exactly how much money they want to give, but it's no secret that aside from this thing, i'd want a Genealogy remake to be as faithful to the original as possible, including trading limitations, double attack being locked behind a skill and so on IMHO PoR and RD need remasters, not remakes also because i'd hate to see them without Kita's artstyle, and basically no other change, except the addition a higher difficulty for PoR and supports for RD FE6+7... eh, i don't really feel like it's necessary: FE7 is very accessible even now (it's available for digital purchase on Wii U's eshop iirc, along with FE8), and FE6 is... not really deserving of a remake, definitely not more than Genealogy and Thracia at least a remake collection of Shadow Dragon and Mystery would feel unnecessarily redundant IMHO now, about the other topics: 1) they surely got me hyped for a potential FE 2D fighting game, although with caution, as i don't expect it to be a thing anytime soon 2) FEW2 would be... controversial to say the least, given how they handled the first one, and i don't expect them to have learned anything from back then (i can already see the teaser trailer ending with an axe getting picked up from the ground by a petite female figure dressed in black, red and gold (mimicking how FEW1's teaser trailer ended) and it's definitely not a thing i feel like i need to see nor experience unless they finally give me playable Rhea, this alone (and maybe Mercedes) might sell me the whole game) 3) a new brand-new FE game, neat except even 3H was "less classic" and we all know what happened "yes we know, it happened that it became the best selling title in the series, so fuck you" touché i'd also like to add that "This game started development early 2020 with a bigger team than the upcoming remake" doesn't mean much, i surely don't expect a remake which is essentially a nod to veteran fans and nothing more to have a bigger team than a completely new, potentially more ambitious game lastly, "bigger team and more development time" doesn't necessarily mean "better game", and i know FFXV and KH3 would agree with me

my +10 Winter Manuela really wants 2 copies of Valentine Lucina inside of her i mean for her skills of course, i'm definitely spending all of my free summons trying to get her

i get some people might see some potential in this, but since i don't play AR (i guess this is what it's good at), i can't really share the sentiment
