Okay so its likely that im seeing things that aren't there, but does this map vaguely remind anyone else off the Tellius world map? (Both maps within the spoilers, because of their size.) The water level is quite high. Much of the land is missing. The southern parts of Begnion are gone, including the capital city, Sienne. Its land masses point southwest instead of south. Goldoa is completely underwater and most parts of Gallia as well. However, the top chain of hills that divide Gallia from crimea are still present in the new map and therefore are now near the coast. Crimea iremains mostly above surface and the tiny northern island seems to be much bigger now. The mountains forming arounds the Serenes Forest are still there and reach all the way up to divide the northern regions - just like Daein and Crimea are split by mountains. A large inlet now runs through the former region of Daein. One streak of land reaches up north, indicating that the continent used to be very massive in the northeast. Additionally, the eastern mountains that divide Daein from the desert where the wolf laguz live are also still present in the new map. On the other hand, the large lake southeast from Daein is gone. Phoenicis and Kilvas are now one island, which smaller and shaped very differently. The island east of Begnion is still present. East of Serenes Forest used to flow the large Ribahn river, which is now completely gone or has at least shrunken down considerably. All in all, quite a lot has changed. The general shape of the new continent roughly resembles Tellius and especially the mountain formations bear striking similarity to it. However, the land masses shifted to a large degree. Furthermore - not only are huge chunks of land from Tellius now underwater, but new land formation appeared as well (southwest of Begnion, north of Crimea, several islands). That means a hightened water level alone does not suffice as a explanation. We would at least need to consider serious seismic activiy to explain the differences between both world maps. So in the end it does not seem likely, although some hints are there. What do you think - Could this game be a chronologic successor to the Tellius series playing in the distant future? Or are my ramblings just crazy rubbish?

Hey @Rezzy, I have an idea. Maybe we should switch places! ( If only such a thing was possibe) Perhaps then we would both get what we're looking for. I feel like some cavemen hunting the same beefy antelope ( = Sanaki) for the past several months. Periodically she appears on a banner, but even then I cannot summon her. Already burned down my orb stack to no avail Curious to see what tomorrows anniversary orbs will bring.

I see. I suppose things would grow a little out of hand if both skills independently worked at the same time, haha. Thank you for answering so quickly!

Does anybody know the interaction between Vengeful fighter and Steady Breath? To give an example, let's assume we run both skills on Black Knight alongside the Eclipse Special (3 turn cooldown.) We have the enemy phase and enemy A initiates on the Black Knight. What happens? The enemy attacks is resolved (cooldown 3 ->2) and steady breath activates (2->1). Afterswards the BN counterattacks (1 -> ready). Now, since vengeful fighter reads "Grants special cooldown charge 1+ per attack" I'm guessing the charge is attained after attacking and would fall flat in this case since the special is already charged. If the situation was the same, but the special was changed to Aether the cooldown would sink from 5->3 on the enemy attack and then from 3->1 on Black Knights counterattack. However, all of this is just speculation from my side. Is someone able to confirm/deny wether it happens like that or not?

Is it me or does this mark the second time IS has been notably greedy? I remember when they released the first Hero Fest with some of the strongest units of that time immediately after the main PoR Banner (Ike + his close council) and now they put a very capable, decked out new unit, which could have easily been part of the Sigurd/Deirdre Banner that was released three days prior, on a seperate Banner coupled with old characters. This makes me kinda wary of a potential upcoming Halloween Banner with new seasonal units. Usually I'm a fan of seasonal Banners and I would love to have one, still (especially since halloween costumes are awesome), but at this point I'm not sure the player base would react well if they decide to go ahead and make one. First the Dancers, then Holy War and now the Ayra Banner. Most Accounts must be completely orb-drained right now.
