Around 70 orbs spent on this banner. This might be my best haul yet. Got one 4* Vika, two Surtrs, one Hinokamilla, and a Kiria to round it up. Raven waifu is here so I’m happy, everyone else is a bonus.

Christmas Past is generally portrayed by a pretty lady so that narrows the list to… 99% of the female cast. I’d love to see Micaiah but that’s just me being biased. I think any version of Byleth would be perfect for Christmas Present, complete with tea table. (I think the best pick would actually be Sothis, but she already has a Christmas alt)

I honestly barely bother with this mode anymore. I just pick my favorite and do the five battles to get the free orbs. The feathers are a bonus. That said the thought of Caspar beating one of the game’s biggest waifus is hilarious (and I was Team Freyja from the start)

Finn is legit amazing. I might start using him now.

My 11 Free Pulls: Pretty nice haul. Always appreciate the free 5* pulls.

Vika! My sweet Angel Girl! I don't care if I have to buy more orbs or that you're stuck in Alt Pool Hell, I need you in my barracks! Although looking at the footage her skill set looks non-premium. PLEASE BE THE DEMOTE. Rest of the Channel was okay. Keep adding those units to the Special 4* pool, the more the better. Lots of orbs and free pulls coming too, that's great. Heroes Journey looks fun but I hope the interactions aren't just generic one-liners. Not expecting Support Convo level of talk here, but I hope at least for something memorable enough.

I usually don’t give Abyssal more than three tries, but Celica + Three Dancers cheesed this one easily.

Here’s hoping for some Angry Beavers representation, be it Muscular Beaver or El Grapadura. Nice to see the best Loud Sister made it in.

Had a hunch and decided to YOLO with my last 20 orbs. Got Ullr and an extra Yune. Good stuff.

Sniping blue with around 200 orbs on the Mythic banner got me: - 3 Seiros - 2 Demitris - 1 Ninian - 1 F!Morgan - 1 Shamir And my first Benny. Great haul, but no Ullr, which is the one I wanted the most. Not meant to be, I suppose.

Implying Bramimond even counts as male.

Alternate Title: "IntSys starts searching on Jugdral Lore for characters that can be made into good waifu material"

Look, if you want to still support Crash for Smash that's fine. If it's already settled it's going to happen regardless. But don't try to justify this company's actions in order to give yourself peace of mind. This is not some small lawsuit that's asking for an off-screen settlement. This is a state lawsuit, meaning there's been an investigation going for years, several victims have spoken (and many more are speaking up through social media), and plenty of testimony and proof have been gathered. The woman who was harassed to the point of suicide was something that really happened (No "apparently" about that). And several Activision/Blizzard higher-ups are now coming out giving fake apologies (because you know they're only apologizing since this is now out in the open). AB will likely not fall down, but this entire process will go on for years, and the fate of all the people involved, whether they're guilty, innocent, or witnesses will be decided then. The majority of the victims are long gone from AB anyway, so the damage is already done for them. I'm not derailing this thread talking about this topic anymore. It's a very delicate issue and I think bringing it up here really trivializes the gravitas of the situation. If someone makes a thread at Serious Discussion, I'll probably discuss it there.

I for one hope the last character isn't anyone from Activision/Blizzard. I'm not giving that piece of trash company a single cent and I really hope the lawsuit goes through. Companies like that shouldn't be allowed to do as they please.

Used up all my saved Orbs to pull 42 units on the new banner so I can spark. The results were pretty insane: - Nyx (+HP -Spd) - Charlotte (+Spd -Atk) - Ronan (+Def -Spd) - Annette (+Spd -HP) - Nephenee (+HP -Atk) - Nyx (Neutral) - Brave Hector (+Def -HP) - Nifl (Neutral) *Spark* Plus one 4* Orochi. No Benny, sadly. But I'm very happy with this haul.

Today's banner was very good to me.

Huh? Men? What are those? But I'm so happy Nyx is finally in. Glad I saved orbs for this one. Also apologies in advance for anyone who thought this was a Radiant Dawn banner.

Is Summer Freyja like, the lewdest art yet? I didn’t pay much attention to it during the trailer, but after pulling her in game and looking at the poses… holy crap.

First summon circle on Legendary banner. Three Greens, no 5*s Second summon circle. Two Greens, no 5*s. Third summon circle. One Green, got Byleth. Decided to open the whole circle and got a Julia and an Erinys. 37 Orbs spent on Legendary banner for three 5*s including the most wanted unit. Best luck I've had in months. Back to saving mode.

Ignatz: (Weeps all the way back in Fodlan) Anyway, this is a pretty good banner and I kinda want all of them. But I'm really low on orbs right now.

Right one really looks like Caspar. Left one... no idea.

Well, the Danganronpa news was the most exciting thing for me. Not because of the ports, but because of the new game that's an expansion of the bonus mode of the last game. I LOVED that extra mode, and seeing there's a whole game based on it now really excites me. The Smash reveal has got to be the most meh Smash reveal by far for me. I've barely played Tekken, and I have no idea who Kazuya is. He looks super generic, and I really was hoping for a more unusual fighter (Arle, Crash, Rayman, Phoenix Wright) considering we're so close to the end. Warioware and Metroid were big highlights, can't wait to play those. Also mega hyped for Mario Party Superstars. N64 entries were my favorite so I'm glad we're getting remixes of those games, with added Online with randos. That's what Super Mario Party should have had. Overall, Direct was good, not among the best, but certainly not a among the bad ones. Additionally it needs to be noted that Paper Mario and Warioware have always been developed by different teams than those of Fire Emblem (with Warioware being co-developed in-house by Nintendo) so it's never been a case of resources from one game being used from another, as IntSys has always been a multi-game developer. (Their Wii entries of Fire Emblem, Warioware and Paper Mario all came out within the span of a year, for example.)

If I had to choose a Male Unit for a Fairy outfit, I’d go with Soren or Lucius.

Since Celica is to date one of the better Book 1 units, I very much appreciate the free merge. Her Fairy outfit is gorgeous, too.

I think it's time to make a list. I'm only including characters that aren't in the game in any way, up to the date this post was made (Had I done this at the start of the year, I would have included Marianne and Tatiana). Outside of Linoan (my most wanted right now), these are in no particular order: 1.- Linoan (FE5) 2.- Mycen (FE2/15) 3.- Marcus (FE6/FE7, either version is fine with me) 4.- Nyx (FE14) 5.- Benny (FE14) 6.- Laura (FE10) 7.- Aran (FE10) 8.- Lucia (FE9/10) 9.- Meg (FE10) 10.- Machyua (FE5) 11.- Samson (FE1/3/11/12) 12.- Neimi (FE8) 13.- Franz (FE8) 14.- Xavier (FE5) 15.- Mozu (FE14) 16.- Orochi (FE14) 17.- Vika (FE10) 18.- Forde (FE8) 19.- Vanessa (FE8) 20.- Selphina (FE5)
