From what i'm seeing weapons are going to function similar to Fates. No breaking and stat buffs and debuffs depending on tier. (example from fates. bronze sword giving + in evade, Steel sword causing - on speed) If forget who pointed it out (wanna say it was Gamexplain) but there's a video taking a deeper look at the trailers and you notice Leon get a minus on speed for using his bow. I don't believe they are just copy and pasting though so i'm sure their are differences from Fates. I assume amiibo characters will probably come with their own signature weapons. Just curious if they are going to make the Binding Blade the same as it was in its home game. As we all know that weapon is easily one of the most OP in any FE game.

While all you say holds truth. It's super unlikely any of this will be fixed. The gotcha system is proven to bring sweet sweet bank so why would they change anything? If you just want a better Fire Emblem experience just go play an older game?

Well since we are working on a more powerful system I see them addling little details like that a real possibility. It just depeads if IS really has an eye for tiny details like that which honestly I feel they kinda don't at times. They could even add things mentioning spouses and parents. A husband can dual guard for his wife. When he blocks for her she thanks him with a cute pet name or something like "Thank you darling," Or the husband could say something like "hands off my wife." when he preforms the actual guard. Or maybe siblings mention their parents. Like they team up to attack and one says something like "father would be proud of you" when they take out an enemy. Just little snippets like this could add so much charm to some of the characters and they connections to each other. Some ideas I had were like maybe you can have mini events with your units. Say like challenging a unit to a spar and it'll effect they stats or pair up bonuses for the next round. Sparring could give a bonus to Str or Mag. Something like a basic hang out or talk would increase support level like is has been. Maybe for couples you can send them on mini dates or something together and it'll boost their pair up bonuses for the next map.

I personally have nothing against Ike anymore but I used to hate him when Brawl was first released. I nearly won a launch day tourney but lost in the final round to a Ike player. It felt like he know what he was doing. I had never touched the game before then. I do believe his inclusion in Smash gives him a big push to his popularity though. He's really fun to play.

So do you think'll they'll try to implement something like skinship again? I liked the idea of bonding with your characters and such though i'd definitely prefer a different method. The "friend petting" was a little pushing it for my tastes but the moments with your spouse were cute and heart warming. I have ideas of what I would like but i'm not even sure if the majority of the community even wants a bonding mechanic to return. What do you all think?

For me Sacred Stones and Binding Blade would hold a good portion of my wanted characters Roy - no doubt in my mind he'll make it in eventually. Eirika -2nd favorite Lord but I have a hard time seeing her in the game. I feel her brother has the better shot since he's not a standard sword lord. Wolt - favorite archer but id be happy if Rebecca made it in instead. Neimi is fine too Lilina/ Lute - My mage choices. Tana - favorite pega rider. Honorable mention: Lissa: Love her too much to not want her playable.

Powerful old men that can snap you in two are the cutest! Dont let anyone tell you otherwise!

Well since this is going to be on a more powerful system the idea of multiple Lord's wouldn't be too farfetched right? Maybe have one Lord for each part of the triangle. If they uses Fates triangle that means a potential bow or throwing weapon lord. Could be like Radiant Dawn where you take control of the each Lord at one part of the story. Then they come together at the last few chapters to take down the big bad.

Not trying to shut you down. I see what your going for. Perfect units is definitely something a lot of people shoot for. Especially those who do the lunatic runs. Just the way you described it just sounds like Pokemon breeding. And while FE genetics are kind of a thing. They aren't as deep as IVs can be in Pokemon. I do like the idea of a RNG factor of having a child. Would add a little replayability with "child" playthroughs. Story wise though it would still probably be a nightmare trying to come up with a good excuse for children going forward.

I honestly completely forgot that Project Zone was a thing. I could see a character changing classes mid fight being a really interesting mechanic though. I actually had a similar idea. Not with Lucina though but with Donnel. Also i had no idea they gave her the bride dress in that game. They literally made her "The Waifu." Spitballing now. Just think. He starts as his usual villager self. After downing enough enemies his special gauge fills. Spending the gauge causes him to promote into either a mercenary or fighter. It lets you pick so if they implement something with the weapon triangle you can decide which weapon he gets access to and fit whats needed. After fighting a bit more and filling the gauge a second time he's premotes to a final class. You get to choose again and he get access to all the weapons that class would use. For example: hero would give him both swords and axes or warrior gives him axes and bows.

The way i see it any character that was in Smash is very likely to make it into the game. I feel KT would look to there for a lot of inspiration with the likes of Marth, Roy and Ike. We know Marth and Corrin are 100% in. Roy and Ike I put at like 90%. Robin at maybe 60%. Lucina is the big question as her similarities to Marth in Smash and Chrom in Awakening mean it'll be hard to really come up with something completely original for her. Despite not really being on my want list shes probably too popular for KT to ignore. Maybe DLC? She'll be like Young Link? Similar playstyle to Chrom with a special mechanic unique to herself?

I feel the same. I mean if your just trying to "create" units the My Unit would still be the best route to take. I did a playthrough of Awakening where I created a bunch of My Units based on friends. I believe you can do the same on Fates even easier thanks to the online features. You can't go super in-depth with it but you'll get to pick classes and stats to a point. Though I agree the kids can be a bit much. Time Travel kids is already digging the bottom of the barrel plot wise. Baby dimension was a head scratcher. Still think they should just do a 1st gen followed by a 2nd gen story line. Start as parents and finish off as the kids.

It would definitely help with some of Roy's stats. Ninian's super Spd growth could make him into an more effective dodge tank. Fiora's extra Res could really help him survive the spells that will hone in on him. Lyn would probably add to him all around since their stat growths are fairly similar. Maybe she'll even give a higher weapon rank at the start of his story. Also them adding a potential story point that mentions or includes Roy's mother would be nice.

My real name is not Roy but I do have a strange connection with the name cause of my family. I'm just very cautious about shareing my real name. And it was his look and playstyle that made Roy and instant fav for me and why i took him on as a screen name. Funny enough though another favorite of mine is Roy Harper. Another red head from DC comics. Roy was actually very luckily the only 5 star I have gotten so far in Heros. I got Lissa not to long after words. And no I actually didn't reset the game or pay form any orbs. Just really lucky. I don't have Camilla but funny story. I was talking to a friend who plays at work. Literally right after i finished telling him I wanted Camilla. He got her. He gave me a smug look the rest of the day at work.

Oh I completely understand it would take a lot more consideration then what I put in. I meant it more of a dream game from a potential gameplay stand point. Blazing Sword is definitely on many people's remake dreams. This is just my thought of how they could tackle both at the same time. And like you mentioned children like Fir and the pega sisters would have complications if they wanted to add the modern FE staples. As Fir's parents are known and you already explained why the sisters wouldn't work. One thing that I think could get people excited would be the potential Hector mode. Just imagine playing the Hector mode we already know to then pick it up with Lilina. We as NA would finally get to experience Roy with the added benefit of having a new outlook through Lilian's eye on the replay.
