Chopper...

I only just noticed this: https://imgur.com/a/6KCPXdG (If someone already pointed it out here, sorry ) If it were any other game, it wouldn't mean much, but in a Fire Emblem game it would be incredibly misleading if it wasn't related to marriage or whatever, so I don't think they would do that unless it was specifically for the S support. But then again, I have never had any doubt that the dynamic would be back in 3H. Still don't doubt it.

Somehow I feel like this game if very different to the others? Something about the feel of it. It doesn't even feel to me like the first entries do. So I don't think they could include past characters into this one. And... I don't want to see past characters drawn in this new style, they would look so... weird.

Well, one of the basic rules of Fire Emblem says there must be a girl who is 'secretly' and obsessively in love with the lord or one of the lords of the game, without ever getting to marry them (although I guess Oboro broke that rule by being able to marry Takumi, but Oboro is best girl, so of course ❤️) In this case, I'll take a guess and go with... Hilda with Claude. Or maybe they decide to change it now and this time it'll be someone like Bernadetta with Edelgard. Also, that rule goes just after the 'There Must be Incest' one, and they can merge, such as is the case of Julia being in love with her half-brother, or Lachesis with Eldigan. Honestly, with Fire Emblem, ships can be about anyone with anyone or anything, they don't care.

You know... Looking at it again... It doesn't seem like it was just the angle. It does look like unless they change that in the coming months, we will be seeing the back of her head looking all weird throughout the whole game, haha. Oh, tall female Robin was the beeest

You keep saying that without no true basis, though... And when I mentioned these forums I did it as an example, it's not like I don't use the internet myself, don't read the news and don't communicate with other beings or something. Really. What you're saying to me here, since it's in answer to what I said, is that most of the people who played Awakening did it just for the character of Lucina. I understand you may like Lucina that much, and she's truly very popular, but her character didn't save the game nor was she the reason people liked Awakening's rooster (for those who did, anyway). Moreover, I belong to a community of gamers who are (like me) absolutely obsessed with Fire Emblem, and we're like seventeen people. Out of those seventeen, only one loves Lucina (and one Corrin, but that's not important), the rest don't care about her, and there's also a guy who doesn't like her for whatever reason. Again, this is just an example for the statistics.

Exactlyyyy! Where's my house

Hahaha, to be honest, I hadn't noticed the back of her head until you pointed it out. Maybe it's the angle that made it look so asymmetrical? Otherwise you're right, it looks badly chopped off from the back.

I don't see how nationality makes us that different, but that aside, I believe Kozaki is more infamous than famous, since even now I can see people are still complaining about his designs in this very forum. I'm one of the apparent few who likes his designs, they're not perfect or anything, it's just because they are creative and colourful. But from the moment they came out to the present time, people have been and are still complaining about Kozaki's designs and many are happy he's gone, so that hasn't changed at all. The fact I'm not happy with the designs in 3H really has nothing to do with him either, it's simply that I consider Kurahana's designs for this game to be bland so far, and sort of unfit, out of their own accord. As for Lucina and Edelgard... I didn't say Edelgard wouldn't be popular, she's actually the character I like the most so far But what I meant to say is that she alone can't save the game and make people like the character designs in general. Lucina didn't do such a thing, Awakening has many incredibly popular characters just as much as her or more in the case of Chrom.

It would be really funny if you died cutting trees.

I want to see Byleth fishing, bug collecting, and upgrading his house (or room).

Then, I guess it's a matter of radically different experiences.

People keep saying this like it's a bad thing. I don't get why.

Haha, what? Have you been to college? Half of my professors were only a few years older than me, and the other half was still in his twenties or thirties. Only like two or three were like sixty. And there's also the fact that there were students that were in their thirties or fourties. But even in highschool the teachers are not commonly so old in comparison to the students. The difference in age tends to be 15-20 years. This! this! this, please!

To be honest, as part of the female fanbase, or at least the one that's into guys, I have found most male characters very uninteresting. I also have friends from the male fanbase who are into guys too, and they have said the same. Of course, we have yet to see many other characters (I think?), but so far, not so good. One character can't save them all, though, specially not in a series of videogames where we tend to have like 40 playable units.

Haha, but at least Kiria is from the modern world, is not a teacher, and also she's a pop idol, so the wierdness in clothing would be expected of her

As if that was the problem in any way. It's not. Oh, that's very interesting! On my part, I actually like F!Byleth face and hair more than I like M!Byleth, even though I know many people seem bothered by it, but it's just that I feel M!Byleth looks eternally bored, haha. F!Byleth looks somehow cuter to me, on the other hand. It's her clothing I'm not fond of, it's too unmatched and it's not good for cosplaying purposes. Not to me, at least.

Hahahahaha yeah. I know. I know. Oh, my God!!! I had no idea Yamada Akihiro was the one who made the new illustrations for The Twelve Kingdom series! I love those book to pieces, like they're actually one of my favorite medieval fantasy books ever! And I have loved those illustrations for T12K since they came out (the ones before that were not so good, maybe because they were dated or I don't know). It's crazy how many incredible illustrators are involved with Heroes I keep getting surprised.

I know her from Togainu no Chi. A friend of mine was very surprised to know they really had chosen her to be the character designer for a Fire Emblem game, given what Togainu no Chi is all about . I thought it awesome at first, that she would bring fresh, creative ideas for the design of the characters, but so far I've been midly disappointed. What I've seen is not bad, just... plain.

Oh, boy... Let's hope that's not the case.

Oh, well. I don't really see why that would stop IntSys when we've had incest and pedophilia before.

People keep saying Byleth can't romance the students because of the implications. This isn't a high school, the characters are not kids. It's a military school, like the kind you go in New Mystery's prologue. They are all adults, and Byleth is certainly the same age as them if we go by appearances.

This sounds cool c: and reminds me of the Zero Escape games. I hadn't thought about it, but it really was made clear in the trailer that Sothis can rewind time (and maybe she gives this ability to Byleth but limited or something). I really hope that means IntSys has some cool plot twists or some interesting dynamics in store for us.

I don't think there will be different routes. The biggest difference I would expect when choosing a house, apart from the units you get, is something like what they did in Sacred Stones. But in this case, I think that the ability to choose between three different groups of units will be mostly for gameplay purposes instead of the plot. Things like strategy and replayability. Moreover, more than one route implies more than one final villain or enemy, and these three houses just look too friendly for them to suddenly want to kill and destroy each other later. Maybe the ending will focus on the lives of the house you chose and their leader.

The Holy Spaghetti Kingdom is just too bulliable, I'm afraid. Edelgard looks like the type who's above it all, and Claude looks like the type who'd do the bullying in the first place. Perhaps it's our granddaddy.

That's the thing, I'm not so sure she'll be playable. There's something about her that seems more Naga than Tiki, or more Mila. Gaiden/Echoes, Genealogy, Thracia and Blazing Sword have no playable manaketes; and Gaiden/Echoes has manaketes but you can't use them as units, which is why a playable Sothis isn't a certainty. It's entirely plausible that they decide not to go with them or any beast units now. Of course, this is just me thinking too much and being all worried hahaha. I'll still enjoy the game even if there aren't any dragon or beast units, but it'll be saddening for me.
