I think you are all underestimating their will to throw a good story at us, you're taking the bait with no fight . Also the nine chapters we have for now are certainly not all. There will be a new "datadisc", probably with lvl cap increase and they can keep doing this for a long time. It's a mobile game, it's supposed to keep going. What on earth keeps them from adding MORE ART for MORE CHARACTERS in the upcoming updates? Why would they throw it all at us right away when they can keep delivering in doses to maintain the player base and general hype? What the last chapter told ME is that the story is very likely to be much more bulky and complicated than I (and probably anyone who played chapters 1-8) suspected. The last few dialogues did more worldbuilding than the previous 8 and half chapters and it's like a promise that much more is coming. Plus it's almost a promise that at least one new character will get their presence (Zacharias). I even expect more cinematics in the future. Also Bruno is apparently significantly older than Sharena and Alfonse. And since they are supposed to be childhood friends, i would expect similar age because kids hardly play with older (or more precisely older kids don't play with younger - not as equals, the mentality difference is still too huge))

Male: Ryoma (Followed by Silas, Kaze and Leo) I'm really surprised people do not appreciate him more. He's brave, competent, responsible, protective... He doesn't have logic gaps like Xander, he gives Kamui's choice more credit whenever he's in oposition (in both Conquest and Reve), he's actively trying to get Kamui back (unlike certain noodle hair), he even enters enemy territory for the sole chance of talking Kamui into coming back. Attacks Kamui to the death only after being heartbroken by a certain lie. And the chapters named after the two older brothers also play in huge favor of Ryoma, considering what he did to make Kamui's life less painful after the said Kamui ruined his life and his kingdom. (While Xander literally threw his burdens on Kamui instead of taking on them alone, making a certain action by Elise a complete waste... I still can't forgive him for that.) Ryoma really loves you even if you sin against him. Female: Sakura (Followed by Felicia and Scarlett) A sweet, innocent child that went through a lot of pain and was forced to mature faster. More a princess of her people than Elise ever was. Admirable cherry blossom, protect at all costs. Female Corrin exclusively. Birthright. I admit the gamplay was kinda dull and story too simple but I've learned that the true moral values always matter more even when they have boring and simple attire. For me Birthright is more than just a game, it's a manifest of my life opinions and priorities - the same reason why I strongly dislike almost anything about Conquest. The Conquest gameplay was good but only when I strip it off the rest. Both Elise and Leo, my favs among Nohr siblings, were better developed in Birthright. (However, Ryoma and Sakura shone best in Conquest, I must say.) Conquest characters are all too saturated, making them maybe more interesting and enjoyable, but as a group of people too unrealistic. IRL you always have one unusual individual for like ten normal people with normal personalities (= Hoshido - and that's why so many people find the cast boring.) In Nohr you have ten unusual individuals for one normal person. That's just too much. (But looking at popularity polls, fanservice works :)) The only good thing about Reve is the answers and insight in the life of the two families (especially Ryoma and Hinoka). The gameplay was a pain, utilizing more my skill to move units across the map for 10 minutes without a single combat, instead of tactics. Plus I just don't enjoy having a cheesy happy ending, not after the two other games. It just feels like a lie for little children to make life seem more bearable.

My story of a Cipher collector is a very tragic one. I've had five boxes so far, not a single SR+ pull. I always have one or two SRs I desperately want - I never got any. And same goes for my R+ cards - always on characters I don't like or don't care about and NEVER with a signature. In other words, five boxes and not a SINGLE fanservice. Not a single one :( Here is the core of my collection. I fell in love with Masaki Hirooka's artwork with his Nohr F!Kamui SR (wanted, never pulled) but it was his Nohr Azura SR(wanted, never pulled) that sealed the deal and I decided I would start to collect his cards - buy them as singles if neccessary. Hell yeah, neccessary, i had to buy them all... :/ And I will buy his Micaiah SR+ too as I'm not getting Wave5 box this time so no chance to get her myself. (He's gonna do her, the pattern is too obvious, remember my words xD) As for the cards that I pulled myself and that really pleased me, it would be these. Est R+ didn't exactly please me when I pulled her because I wasn't even familiar with the + system at that time and I didn't know her at all. But I liked her design the most of the three sisters so the card eventually grew on me. I was lucky to get three older Hoshido siblings in my first Wave2 box (and the remaining card was M!Kamui SR) so it was a Hoshido box for a Hoshido fan, yay (with Nohr sleeves)! In my second box I got both Kamui and Ryouma as duplicates but the two other cards were Sakura and Elise and those two pleased me immensely. (Plus I got Hoshido sleeves so I could put all my five Hoshido SRs in them ♥ and Elise in one of the Nohr ones.) Both Morgan and Cynthia were must-haves and luckily I got them, though I really hoped I would get either one as a R+ :/. And last but not least - four other cards that I hold dear, my husbands. Of course I didn't get Chrom SR myself, nor Silas R (that one was outraging) and had to buy them separately as well T_T.

Hi, this is rather unusual offer but... I have VelourR+ and SoleilR+ and I honestly couldn't get R+ from that Wave I would care less about. On the other hand, I'd really love to have CynthiaR+ or MorganR+. So, I'm proposing the following trade: Me: VelourR+/SoleilR+ and CynthiaR/MorganR for You: VelourR/SoleilR and CynthiaR+/MorganR+ In other words, a +factor switch, eh. Also, as a Masaki Hirooka's Cipher art collector, I might also do +factor compensation for the two following cards: B02 F!Kamui SR+ or Tsubasa SR+. I would send back the SR variant and one other SR of your choice. (Eg.: You send Tsubasa SR+, I send Tsubasa SR and one other SR).

Hi! I have extra M!Kamui SR (Wave 2) Ryouma SR If there is anyone who would trade: Felicia SR/Jacob SR/Marx SR/Camilla SR/Leo SR for my Ryouma SR F!Kamui SR (Wave 2) for either of the two let me know!

I know I'm a bit late but this topic actually forced me to finally make an account here - just to answer. First, I find it very rude and insulting how some of you imply that the girls going for Chrom are simply doing so to be important, or because he's the prince and main protagonist and that's what the girl-herd wants, isn't it? Marry the important prince... Look, just because you don't see anything appealing about him yourself doesn't mean that girls who do are just a herd going for mainstream. Second, I don't get where you see "generic sense of justice" in Chrom. I don't recall any Chrom moment where any sense of justice would play a role. There were many moments when Chrom accepted even potentially dangerous people (including MU) out if his trust and kindness (both quite naive but unquestionably genuine). There were moments when he chose the diplomatic way even though he would rather go and fight his way through or simply avoid the contact - all just to honor his sister's legacy. Both these traits prove him to be a very good person - kindness and trust being his significant traits and the ability to surpass his own needs for a beloved person is very honourable. Yeah, he never refuses to help anyone in need, especially mere helpless peasants. Is that where you see this " genereic sense of justice"? Because I see a desirable trait for a ruler. Chrom knows his position, he has accepted his responsibility towards his people and those who are weaker than him (even founded Shepherds as a "free time activity"!). If you think this is generic and cliché instead of admirable, then this world really goes to hell. I would aslo like to remind you that he made lots of mistakes - and was punished for them (war with Plegia). Sometimes he even got punished for respecting others and not forcing his own opinion through (Emmeryn's return to Yllistol). What I see here is ALL but a blunt character as you call him. (And I have merely scratched the surface of his personality). Third (going a bit personal) - there are two reasons I got into Fire Emblem: My husband and Chrom (not the same person). My husband was the one who suggested me to try FE when I was bored and ORAS was still a month away. Chrom was the one whose design made me to really go and try a game genre that I always found very boring and unappealing. I was occasionally watching my husband play FEA when we were in Japan and the only thing that I recalled from those moments was the lvl up "clang" sound and the fact that Chrom looked handsome in the cutscenes, especially with his pissed face on. So I tried the game and the only reason I got over the first ten chapters was my desperate effort to S-support him before he gets to marry Sumia (I thought he would always marry Sumia if not S-supported with someone else and I really hate that shipping because if something is cliché and forced in FEA, it's Chromia). But I really got into FE turn-based style and look at me today, I own all Fire Emblems I could get my hands on. -- I believe Awakening lured a huge amount of fans to the franchise and sometimes their initial reason could be just as shallow as in my case - yet it resulted in devoted fans.. Fourth - and finally I get to the chrobin shipping atractivity. As a storyteller who even has a hardcover book published I can tell you that the FEA story where your MU marries either Chrom or Lucina is a whole different lvl from the plot where you marry any other face in the crowd. The plot is built primarily on two relationships - a genuine friendship and trust between Chrom and Avatar AND a great sacrifice and love comming from Lucina towards her father. These relationships get developed in cutscenes, they are made vital parts of the whole plot and gameplay. Unlike picking Frederick, Gaius, Lon'qu etc. where the only interaction comes from supports, if you pick Chrom (playing a female unit), you get interactions ALL THE TIME. You have the feeling that your ship is actually alive and that it plays its part. If you play as MaMU, the ChromxAvatar relationship makes you feel like the two of them are the best buddies under the sun, they would die for each other etc etc. If you play FeMU, Chrom and Avatar reach the same friendship and it feels very natural that it evolves even further. Then, the two of them being lovers adds an extra something to the plot. Extra emotions in many moments (especially during the final chapters) and even more emotions if you are an emotion antenna like girls usually are. Just an example of what I see there: FeMU's struggles if she's good enough for Chrom, being an amnesiac so potentially dangerous - later even knowing her father etc. Simply put she can always feel like a black sheep. How does Chrom feel seeing his future daughter wanting to kill his wife because this wife obvisouly killed him in the future past? How does FeMU feel when she wants to leave the Shepherds because she considers herself dangerous? It's not just about leaving Shepherds, she want's to leave Chrom, too, to keep him safe - and baby Lucina as well! How does Chrom feel about this? He sees his wife blaming herself all the time even though her tactics crushes the enemy even in the most unfavourable situations helping so many of his people? He continuously tries to convince her that she IS good enough for him, that she IS strong enough to not get manipulated. He would sacrifice the 1000 years future people just to keep her safe. Yet she still deals the final blow... And I could go on and on and on... As for the complaints about their C Support... I can really see how each of you explain it tendentiously depending on how you view Chrom. If you don't like him, then it certainly is a great insult and proof of his incompetency: he doesn't see woman in you even if you put your cleavage in front of his face, how humiliating! Bah... What I think was their intention to put in this support is this: Chrom has never met anyone like FeMU, or more precisely, any other woman like her. I believe she kind of puts her femininity aside and prioritizes her tactician task and being practical (she wears trousers and even though one build has the cleavage it still is pretty much unisex outfit that covers and hides the majority of the attractive parts). I believe the two of them have great synergy on the battlefield and also get along very well outside the battle being great friends in a way that Chrom would subconsciously expect from a male pal (usually your best buddy is the same sex). I believe he can get so caught in this relationship (which he maybe never had before, Vaike doesn't seem so mutual) that he leaves out the part that FeMU is actually a woman. And when she first addresses her as such (a lady to be exact) it is just so alien to him that he immediatelly says so without thinking (which actually proves me right, men do talk directly to other men with no hidden meanings). I think many of you put false reasons behind his words. For me this is actually pretty romantic because this is the first push for Chrom to start realizing that this best pal of his has something more to him her. I can imagine Chrom actually watching her a bit more closely studying this fact. To finish my long rant: I have many favourites among FEA male characters, I would really love to marry them, especially Frederick BUT I cannot marry mu MU to anyone else than Chrom. I am literally unable to do that. It would downgrade the plot so much in my eyes, taking away so many juicy parts (marriage of Naga and Grima bloodline and such), that I can't even imagine playing that plot version after I've experienced the "enhanced" one. Not to mention that I cannot imagine Chrom and FeMU not falling for each other after what they went through together. After all that, how could he possibly settle with someone like Sumia? Umm... nope. :) (I tried to figure out how to tag spoilers but with no success. Hopefully no one would dig this deep in the history without playing the game, eh)
