I think that it would be the other way around, Navarre is a popular character from SD, and was going to be in from the begining, seeing Lyn popularity/cries from west fans they took his moveset and made hers. Everything speculations obviuosly.

Is it just me or the characters that aren't made by Kozaki feel kinda out of place? Like, they tried to simulate his style but didn't get it completely right.

No one complained because no one has the new 3ds. Personally, it makes me angry because I expected them to go all out with characters from SD, Awakening and Fates in the base roster, and wanted the dlc to be from those games too (though that was more unlikely) because if there is a sequel we'll have more characters from Elive/Tellius/MagveL/Valentia, but I doubt there would be more from SD, Awakening or fates, so the last hope for lots of popular characters gets chafted. Navarre is probably the only thing that keeps me from being super salty right now.

Tingle was dlc though.

I'm not trusting Koei with anything, be it chosing characters or promoting a game. Thanks to Navarre I'll keep hoping for characters a bit more, but we don't have knights, the only spear users are pegasus knight with not many differences (and Caeda will probably be like that too...). If Azura isn't in, it will probably be because it would be too different to share her moveset with anyone, yes, there are characters without "clones"... for now, but at this point I'll welcome anyone.

Or he is an NPC.

Shadow Dragon is not going to have even 3 characters, because Caeda will be another clone, so more like 2.5.

Sakura's moveset doesn't suit her imo, I expected more slow/graceful moves, but how is that going to be possible if half her moves are from Takumi... I hope Azura is in, because I usually use characters with spears and I'm not liking neither Hinoka nor Cordelia, and I'm really having problems to see the differences between the two, more than any other semi-clone, which doesn't help because thinking about them bothers me (except Lucina because it makes sense that she has a similar style to his father). Also, I know I have a bad day when it takes me more than 5 minutes to realize that the rescue staff wasn't creating soldiers but bringing them... P.S. There go my hopes for scrolls...

This reminds my of those stains from psychology, I'm only seeing a watermelon with pink hair and a blue ribbon.

Reading this has been a rather pleasant surprise, I expected more people wanting older characters. In my case, I hope they add more characters from SD, Awakening and Fates. They already said that a sequel with other games was possible, if the DLC are from those games there would be the characters from this game and the ones from the next, but what happens with the SD, Aakening and Fates cast then? As I see it, If they don't appear now, they won't appear latter, the DLC are the last hope for lots of popular characters, so using these spots on characters that will have have game latter seems a waste to me. I expect the amiibo characters to be in the game in some way though.

I have my doubts too, but while we have seen the Chrom vs Lucina scene, which happens in chapter 4, here they already know Cordelia, who joins in chapter 7. We don't know how story mode is going to be, so it's completely possible that it is from it, but I wouldn't say no to having scenes in history mode so soon.

Maybe it was from history mode.

Weren't Cia, Volga and Wizzro NPC in hyrule warriors at first too?

The warrior games I've played more are Warriors Orochi 3 and Hyrule Warriors, so I don't know that well Koei's habits. Yeah, but I think there is a limit at how many times they can repeat the same moveset. I know that it isn't actual dark magic, but I think that Brynhildr has been called a dark tome in some cases, though I don't really remember it well. I was talking about the visual effect that his tome has in cinematics. I'm just trying to justify that Leo's moveset seems based in lighning.

They had different weapons though, here we are talking about mages, there is a limited number of dark tomes, and in this game, Koei has shown a tendency to "re-use" some parts of movesets, it wouldn't be the first pair of character that have mostly the same attacks.

Now that Validar and possibly Gharnef are in, Tharja's chances doesn't look so good anymore, even with her popularity. It also would explain the lack of darkness in Leo's moveset.

True, even if she were to be Takumi's semiclone, they'd have to sustitute his wind skills with something. I'll keep hoping for it a bit more.

I have to say that I'm a bit dissapointed with not including a character with scrolls, because if they don't include them now, they won't include them even if there is FE warriors 2, because that would be about other games. Sakura could use them, but they'll probably stick with her canon promotion. I'm talking about scrolls because I think it would be something original, imagine a character "summoning animals" through the battlefield, using ox spirit to throw the enemy to the air and the hitting with bird spirit for example. Also, as a completely random and unrealistic comment, I want to use a faceless.

He seems to use one every time he uses a move similar to his dolphin slash from smash. Around min 7:30 and 7:55. I don't know if he will use them for more attacks though.

I haven't said that Koei or Nintendo have done a good job with advertising this game (as of now they should have showed everyone except one or two characters), neither I have said that I like the roster choices or their attacks. I though, expected this to happen since it was announced, as they said that the number of characters wouldn't be even, the number of playable characters would be relatively small, and the weapons shown in the teaser, but this doesn't mean that I'm happy with it, in fact SD was my first FE, so it's kind of special even if it isn't my favourite. I doubt though, that he was talking about SD as even if the number of characters is going to be small, the game is still in. It was the already old complain about not having GBA/Tellius characters. I'm not telling anyone to not complain about the game, but there is alot of difference between constructive and destructive criticism, and using the term "damaged" and the "saltiness" of his last sentence, it's pretty clear which is it. Also, "awakening and fates are everywhere", where is everywhere exactly? I mean, can think of smash and heroes, but if they gave older characters a summer version, for example, I can see them complaying about turning them into waifu .

Damaged the series? Seriously? How exactly have awakening and fates damaged the series? And what overexploitation, having three characters in an idol game? What did you want, all the games being portrayed or to be completely based on the GBA games? Because in the first case you'd have 3 characters from each game at max and no one would be happy, and in the second case, you should realise that those games have more than ten years and using the recent ones makes more sense. Obviuosly, disliking the game is fine, and saying it is too, but if you want to make this kind of comment, you're better in youtube's comment section.

And yet they said they took the characters from the begining of their games to not make spoilers... After seeing this though, I hope that if Robin has a third special he does something with grima's power.

Starting now my headcanon is that FE Warriors happens in the Xane-realms.

But Xane is already in, it's just that he is already transformed in another character. Right? RIGHT?!

Are they going to wait until the Tokyo Game Show to show us the shadow dragon characters? Because showing them less than a week before the game is released it's a pretty bad idea imo.
