Caellach: he seems pretty strong, there's a reason for him breaking two of the stones. The problem is that, instead of him being really powerful, the other armies are the ones that come across as weak to me, so while he'd be one of the strongest of his country, he isn't really that high in the ranking. 8/10. Alfonse: we don't really have much to go by as we don't really know how much fight he, Sharena and Anna actually do, so 6,5-7/10.

Michalis: seeing as Ghranef thinks of him as competition and the only other person he is worried about is Camus, I'd say it isn't difficult to assum that he is quite strong, maybe the second strongest in Archanea, at least at the time of Shadow Dragon. Then there's him going to the Dragon Altar alone and stealing Starlight, and I'm definitely not going to fault him for not winning against someone with an invencivility tome. And finally there's being called Iote's second coming and having his shield. Imho it doesn't matter if he is the weakest of the important villains in his game or if he is better as an antihero, we are looking at his strenght, not at his role as a villain or how good he is at it. 9/10. Boey: there isn't much to say about him, he is said to not be great at magic, but that doesn't mean he is particularly weak. He seems to be average, 6/10.

Matthis: he is clearly a weakling, and not having the will to fight or even train doesn't help. Still, he has a horse, wich is pretty useful, so 3.5/10. Gangrel: doesn't strike me as someone really strong, obviously not weak, but nothing amazing. Him being dangerous it's more because how crazy he is than his actual skill. 6.5/10

Camus: The biggest missed opportunity in Warriors, the genre was practically done for characters like him. He is clearly one of the strongest humans in the series, being compared to Anri by Medeus after he defeated an entire battalion, which was formed by more than 200 men, and only surrendering to the dragon because he didn't have any weapon. Also, winning against Midia, who is strong enough to become the captain of the Archanean Knights, while unarmerd when she was trying to kil him with a surprise attack is impresive, even if the differences in skill between them are huge. In Gaiden he probably hadn't healed yet and was amnesiac, and in FE3/12, whether is hasn't healed either or is trying to not catch everyone's attention, it doesn't matter imo, it doesn't change what he has done in the past or could do again in the future. Looking at the ranking in the first post he could easily be a 10/10, but I comparing him to final bosses, Naga and the like doesn't feels right to me, so 9.5/10 for me. Ike: I haven't beaten either of his games so I'll refrain of comenting much. As of now, from what I've seen from him, a 9/10 seems fine, a little bit more maybe, but I haven't heard of anything as absurdly impresive about him as I have with Camus. Why should that matter though? This is a discussion about strenght and power, not about his character in the story. Imo it doesn't matter how he got his strength, just how strong he is, kinda like Marth with the shield equipped, it doesn't matter if the strenght doesn't come complitely from him, he could become a 9. Also, will the power level analysis post return someday? Alm: one of the strongest characters in Valentia, the game goes out of it's way to make sure you know this. Yet, it doesn't quite feels like he is that impresive. He beats Berkut, who is a mayor side-villian, but he simply isn't strong enought for justify a 9, he also won against Rudolf, but that was him losing on purpose, if Celica's premonition is anything to go by Alm is weaker than dismounted Rudolf, and even if he seemed to be possesed in the vision, that Aura only appeared in the end, while Berkut had it during his final combat against Alm. All in all I give him an 8.7/10, he could reach a 9 if we were to take overclasses into account though.

As fit as Frederick is, looking at the ranking a 9 is practically a one man army, and he is not at that level at all. He is strong though, one of the best in the Ylissian army, but not as strong as Chrom or even Lucina, so I think an 8 would be fair.

I... haven't beaten FE6 yet, so I'll only talk about Marth and Lucina. -Marth: The hero-king goes first. As others have said and against popular believe, Marth is strong, maybe not top tier, but definitely remarkable, we are talking ablut someone who won against Medeus and, as effective as falchion is, that isn't an easy feat. We know his battle prowess comes from his speed and his even greater skill in swordmanship, being able of fighting with different styles, those being fencing, longsword and sword and shield. Now, while his fighting skills have been praised by other characters, they are often overshadowed. The reason, imo, can be found on how he behaves in the battlefield, which we can deduce from three of his Skills in Fates: Dancing Blade, which makes him faster at the cost of his defense, Dual Guardsman, which consists on being the support during Guard Stance, and Speedtaker, which makes him faster everytime he defeats an enemy. Coupled with Chroms supports in Warriors where the he has to save Marth after he came to rescue him, and Lucina's where she praises how he always shows up when he is most needed, we can deduce that as skilled as he is he probably concentrates in rescuing those who need it, one after another and faster every time (while leaving himself half-open), but not taking the main spot in the battlefield. Without Falchion and the Shield, I'd give him a 7.5/10, maybe an 8 if he focused more on the actual fighting. With them, and looking at how the ranking works, I'd say he is clearly a 9/10 -Lucina: I don't have as much to say about Lucina as I did about Marth, aside from having aether, her skills tells us that she is particulary good fighting in pairs (Dual Strike) and that she is better under presure (Awakening). She, as Marth, also has Charm, but that's not important here. Aside from the sword she can also use lances and seemingly bows. Now, on her actual strenght, she seems to be at Chrom's level, who Kjelle goes as far as to say that is the strongest man in the army, so she is pretty much top tier in our army. Also, she technically has holly blood, doesn't she? All in all, I'd probably give her an 8'5/10. I know I used gameplay in a "canon" discussion but I think it's kind of fair as those classes are exclusive to them.

I suppose they could show something at Gamescom at the end of august, but I wouldn't expect anything earlier than that.

That makes sense, but what I wanted to ask was more like, could he still use it's power without breaking the seal? As far as I remember the hierophant was Grima already.

Not sure about what would be useful for what you're discussing but I suppose you could take into account his in-game skills, aside from what has already been said. I have to say that seeing a question about Grima's powers has made me have one on my own though. At the end of awakening we see Robin taping into them, but would he still be able of using them after Grima's been sealed by Falchion?

They are making the Fates artbook, while they won't put the original script in there there's a small chance we'll see some small bits or curiosities about it. If they don't put it there I don't know if we'll ever see it.

In my case, what bugged my probably even more than the game having "less" content, is that them cutting that content makes me feel like they are treating me like a child, like if that content would be too much for me, I don't even care about some towel or boring mini-game, but the fact that they decided that I shouldn't play it bugs me. In the other hand I totally understand why they did it, but I can't help feeling like that.

It's rather hard to say something without knowing the person in question, but by the way you are talking it seems that whenever you try to explain it to him he disregards it or might think that you are exagerating or underestimating yourself. Is that it? If that's so then you might try explaining to him exactly why you aren't doing okay in that class "I can't do x because I need y, but to find y..." that kind of thing, so he sees the reason. I don't think it is about making him lose hope in you passing but making him understand that failing has an equal or bigger chance of happening, to make him see it as a possibility more than a certain future. But as I said I don't know him, your relationship or previous conversations, so you might have already tried this.

It being a Japan only game certainly makes it a priority over Tellius to me.

So... what was the mugen thing about?

So langrisser?

Not only that, they might be organized by release date, they clearly aren't listed neither alphabetically nor by announcement date, so it could come out before smash and yoshi, september maybe?

The thing is, while Valm's arc is a call back to gaiden, Walhart isn't Alm's descendant, and Falchion can't be wielded by someone without divine dragon blood.

The manga design is great. While not as good, we also seen her in casual clothes that, while having cleavage, it's nowhere as fanservicy as the game. The difference between game and manga you are feeling might be because the manga is more focused on Leo, as Camilla is less likely to go yandere without Corrin and simply be that motherly figure she is supposed to be.

I still think that he return to Archanea because he feels responsible more than because of his love. He clearly still has some feelings for her, but let's not forget that when she asks him in SD to come with Marth he refuses even if she is there. Nyna disappears at the end of FE3, after leaving Archanea to Marth, if Camus wanted he could live with her in some random town without having to reveal his identity.

I'm not saying that Camus didn't love her more than his kingdom, I'm saying that as of FE3 he has someone else he loves more than her, and the reason he returned when he heard about the was it was because he felt partially responsible and wanted put an end to their relationship, and so he does at the end of the game imo.Not saying that he wouldn't think about her from time to time, but I don't think he would risk Tatiana's happiness to watch over Nyna, to whom he already had said to forget about him.

I thought it was the other way arround. Wasn't Camus the one who told Nyna to forget him? I don't think he would return for her after that, though I can see him watching over Grust though.

Maybe? That kind of stuff doesn't really bother me, I like Tharja and Camilla (though I don't like the panty window) . I think it is how elegant she looks in general, the smaller boots, the shorter bangs and of course the lack of cleavage make her look better overall, stylish and professional, though her usual one makes her seem more mature. I don't think just not having a cleavage would have made that much of a difference though. I'm probably exagerating about how good this design is, but I really like it.

I never get tired of seeing Mathilda's other outfit, really, there's something about it that I really like, though I don't know what. Now, I'm not dubting your translation, but I think I read somewhere that in Zeke's profile it said that he disappeared some time but later returned, making reference to his appearance in FE3, instead of disappearing from time to time which implies it happened more than once, though I readed it the first day the translations began to appear, so maybe it was wrong. I'd like to ask Kamui's profile if it isn't much of a hassle, aside from the money thing and being a traveler his sole support is wasted in humour. She was kidnapped just after she was born, and her parents are already dead. Just saying so you take your crack to the next level even if it totally didn't happen

Isn't heroes already an isekai story?

The hero comes from the west though, and Naga isn't really involved with Valentian matters.
