I have gotten 5 star, 4 star special and bunch of lance flier before I even got a Phila. Almost 40 pulls I cant believe how bad my luck is in this banner. Only one RA Grima and it's -atk. It's probably due to my insane luck on Arcane Lif banner and also FGO isn't it.

Louis armor looks slick. By far the best design revealed for me. I hope Great Knight is returning because appearance is not gonna make me use armor unit on foot. I think this is the "creepy/suspicious actions done by person with innocent intention" trope. If he were the designated creepy character it would have been more obvious, they have no problem hiding it. I have already made my peace with how tomes work in general RPG and Fire Emblem. This is just the new silly thing that I noticed.

Alear actually looks good in battle and that's really all I cared about since we are mostly in battle. Framme's (or rather Monk's) weapon is just kind of funny and weird. It's a scroll/guide for martial art and it has different level, but isn't it more of a "you learn and you know it" kind of thing. It's like if Mercenary needs to equip "Beginner guide to Swordplay". They should've have make it like Brawler in 3 House and give them gloves or knuckle as weapons.

Does IS hate regular Robin or love Grima persona that much because I cannot for the live of me understand why it's Grima again. I was so excited when I read that title thinking it was regular Robin. Gregor and Phila are nice addition, I knew he was gonna be another premium sword but still feel a bit demotivated when his kit revealed. Mystic Boost 4 is good now that NFU is a skill, unfortunately tier 3 Atk/spd catch skills and mystic boost skill are so inaccessible it's impossible to inherit all her useful skills onto one unit. Shouldn't it be time to just do away with the whole SI limit thing, with how many T4 skills they wanna cram into one unit nowadays. Phila's and Ricken's art look really good though.

Sigurd map still gives me some trouble because he is bulky and I don't got a blue mage here. Don't know what I would do without L!Tiki here either I wished they keep updating these maps. If it had updated skills and more enemies this map would be hell for non-fliers team. As it is base Jorge with Bonus doubler can tank most of these units. 3 house units are OP. Fallen and Legendary DImitry + M!Shez here can galeforce entire map too. Without Gatekeeper support, Claude wouldn't be able to double hit Dagr, and the tricky part is that he has to trigger deadeye on second hit, so Whitecap Bow is better than his (amazing) refine.

Got a new laptop. Finally get to play some pc rpg in the last 3 years that my old laptop can't handle. XC3. Putting this and other switch game on hold for now. I think I've reached the middle of the game cuz I have lost interest in the plot at this point (as I weirdly do whenever I'm at the middlepoint). There is also just like a lot of talking scenes, especially those flashback, and if I am scared that if I skipped too much I might miss the action scenes. Mass effect Andromeda is really fun to play. Not as good as OG trilogy but I really like the combat and Ryder's personality. Before I had to play on lowest setting and the laptop still crash upon reaching latter half of the game areas. Now I can see that the environment is actually really beautiful. AC Odyssey. This one surprised me the most. I really enjoy the combat and story. Alexios's VA is such goofy and charming, it is sad to find out the character has pretty much been axed out of canon, not even showing up in crossover. The map is stupidly massive which is a downpoint for me but luckily there is a cheat trainer that teleports you instantly, made completing those side quests that far and away much much easier. I'm still taking my time with this game.

If only Arcane Lif came out a bit earlier I would have give his skills to my budget Corrin, but anyway I really like how vulture blade looks on Resplendent Corrin. It would have been easy if I just throw my usual Chrom and Hapi at it but my barrack keeps growing and I am out of place to actually use or fodder these units. It took around half an hour to beat this map with these units but it's so satisfying to use budget gen 1 unit without dragonflower to beat a modern Abyssal map.

Naga looks good, especially the little ghost sprite is so cute, but after dumping 250+ orbs and only getting 3 S!Claude I have given up on special 4 stars. None of the Corrins looks interesting to me other than fodder value. I might have to pass up on this banner. But NFU seal lol, I can start clearing some of the fodder or at least merge them up. Older units might still prefer stats seal but some of the normal non-broken new units would definitely appreciate a free B slot.

I mostly read them on youtube before/after. You can adjust the video speed accordingly and not having to press the screen much. Without spoiler this event's story is meh by GUDA standard, not enough humor and not serious enough. It's also quite short. I just started Olympus and taking a break since no more AP half bonus. Plus with what I read on boss fights I need to take some time to seriously upgrade my servants. It's a miracle I was able to rush through LB3 to 5.1 after not playing for 2 years with just castoria/Skadi support and command spells. I don't have any avengers for those forced support + Ruler enemies fights, and saving for Senji Muramasa so I am not pulling for JAlter on the current banner.

Need some suggestion because it's been a while since the last time I can't decide which unit to spark. A!Lif Banner: Another Lif for more fodder, neutral M!Shez to replace my -spd + res copy, or 1st A!Hilda for floret. Monica is not being considered cuz I have a +spd copy, and her fodders are rare but not too useful for me so I'm gonna hoard no matter how many copy of her I got anyway. I am out of orbs as usual and while it is gonna be up for 8 more days, I don't feel like pushing my luck since I already got 3 out of 4 banner units within 40 pulls

Was busy with FGO after getting back into it, and XC3 too. Was gonna give up on Seiros LHB but I got a L!Julia on free pull. Overall this batch is quite easy, after getting forma on B!Eliwood, the only LHBs that would be difficult for me are probably just FE4/5 and FE6.

The fact that you have to keep debating and fighting for her to be the "face" or mascot of FE already proved that she just isn't. You can go to any Pokemon or Digimon forum, nobody is gonna deny that Pikachu or Agumon are their mascots, even though they are not be everyone's fav. She is important in the story of 3H but that does not means posterchild status. She is not on the mural. Even Leif got to be there and he is not the most popular guy in his own not very well-known game. She is not even in Smash, Byleth is, Lucina and Chrom are, Roy is. She is also not the free unit that FEH players get for purchasing FE3H, that's Male Byleth. Because mascot or posterchild are not determined by all these "evidence" that you keep pointing out. She is just, not. Keep saying it won't make her one. Being the mascot/posterchild means carrying the brand and image that would be accepted by fans and non-fans. If you can't even convinced longtime fans of the series here, do you really think casuals, outsiders, Edelgard-haters (ppl who WOULD be angry IF she really is the face of 3H) and those Nintendo/IS executives (you know the people who decide these thing), are gonna believe that Edelgard is the representative of 3H?

Ephraim and Hector. Ike is already here so I really don't want to see all of my top 3 least fav FE main characters in one game. Other: Julia's mother, Nuibaba, Caeda (she is probably guaranteed to be in isn't), and that PoR girl that wields Amiti. But like what the others said, there are at least 12 rings and I am like most of the lords (only Ike, Sigurd and I guess Eirika would be annoyed me in-game). They are also optional (I think) since you have to equip them. There is always skip button for dialogue. Unless the game actively shove these emblems into cutscenes and forced employment I don't really mind who get in since I can just ignore them.

Inheritable prf-weapon sounds nice but IS being IS will probably makes those Prf less powerful, so really you just end up with 2 sword units that perform the same role and still get outclassed by other powerful unit. I mean it's not coincidence that Arcane Lif just happened to be a slow defensive Sword unit in 2022. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice concept but I really stopped having faith in IS at executing stuff like this anymore. Why Ascended Hilda though. We got Monica as Edelgard's representative, Holst as Claude's, why can't it be someone from Dimitri's route to fill the third spot. Not to mention Hilda is once again an axe infantry like her base self, wielding seemingly the same Freikugel but probably diff effect with Special Acceleration. I like Shezes, they really grow on me during 3 Hopes gameplay. F! Shez axe doesn't look familiar, I wonder if it's inheritable or PRF.

Priam. He is already a traveler between realms in Awakening, and he only has little vague backstory so he could be fighting in that ancient war the trailer mentioned. Arthur. Hero of justice and misfortune, the meme practically wrote for itself. He could be the comic relief and fit right in with this modern anime-ish world. Jake from Marth's game as stand for Engage's Anna. One or two beasts (Laguz, taguel or kitsune) so that human unit can transform into half-man half beast. Personally I don't think we are going to get more than the 12 lords, apart from some popular candidates as DLC materials. I doubt anybody can just use the ring, maybe only a few characters in Engage world can summon/fuse with those Emblems.

Octopath get a mobile game (still not available in my country...) AND a sequel, looks like they are planning to make this into a series. I like the character design a lot more than the previous one. Not a fan of Day & Night system by the looks of it. I can barely memorize how those gimmick works for each character when I'm playing last time, and now they going to add more. Surprised to see DLC info for XC3 just for a new character and some challenge battles, still halfway from completing the main story myself but this doesn't make me feel like purchasing the DLC packs until the story pack comes out. On that note, was really hoping for 3 Hopes DLC. I am saving Blue Lion's run for it. As for FE Engage Actual brawling is here. As a combat-focus guy this is the most hype thing for me. I don't like how the skill at 2:34 changes your position after, and that we starts from at least 2 tiles away. This might makes me sounds gatekeeping but the whole combat doesn't feel FE to me. So it seems like they need diff lords to wield non-sword weapon so that it's more balanced for the main Engage casts, but it's again on bare minimum level. Only one Axe and one bow lord still (ugh, can't believe I have to deal with Ike again). For FE8, Eirika also has brave outfit that wields lance. The Sacae girl also has more bow alts in Heroes than sword. If Sigurd, Ike, and Lucina can not wield their famous swords then why all these other sword lords have to. Why is Legendary Lucina masked here? The combat scenes look too clean and polished for me. It's too much sunshine and white clouds. Seems like durability is not present here and that's really good. Alear is listed as Dragon child so I'm assuming Corrin (I can't tell if it's male or female corrin from the mural) wielding dragonstone means they probably might be important as well. I personally welcome to see Corrin as their own character but knowing the fandom it's gonna be controversial if that were the case. Small nitpick, what's up with those skill names. Divinely Inspiring sounds really awkward to say, wouldn't divine inspiration sounds better. It's not even the same translation from the Japanese trailer, which is either divine dragon's end or divine dragon's binding. The name in Japanese video is also straight up Fire Emblem Engage, not Japanese title and no kanji, that worrying. The female lord from the leak looks better than Alear in the trailer here. I think the characters design looks great but that's not my focus anyway.

Yes. Because I don't ever want to play witcher 3, not even if it's free. Seriously, I thought about pirating it to see what the fuss is about and I saw how big the file is and I nope'd out of the website. And just to clarify I wasnt assuming your stance on other game like pokemon when I write "you". I just meant ppl like you in these communities that like to come out with these idea on how it could be better or where it can be improved but they all sounds horrible to me. It's not wring to have ideas, per se, just don't like the tone presented as if these aspects you mentioned are objectively bad and not worth the game. I work in a restaurant. Customers told us our soup is too salty, so we reduce the saltiness a bit, then entirely different customer group told us it's getting lighter and wondering are we skimming on the ingredients. So right now we just follow the recipe and adjust when a customer complaint or request. Unfortunately the same cant be said for game, but the thing I want to say we all like to think our opinion is right and we as consumer should have the final say, but we are not all the same. I dont mind reusing assets, heck I dont even realize it. I thought PoR story was bad and Ike is too generic, and then I joined online forum like sereneforest and reddit to discovered I am in the minority. To this day I still dont understand why ppl think PoR story is better than Awakening, but I dont go and say to their fans they are being ripped off or how the game is bad and need improvement so that it become my version of good game.

Not the guy you are replaying to but this always gets me a little bit furious when people like you just go and assume your idea of standard and quality is universal. Sword and Shield is probably my 2nd fav pokemon game right after Black and White 2 because of how simple it is. Lack of maze and dungeons was listed as negative point but for me it was a HUGE QoL improvement. I absolutely do not want the "improvement" some of these fans suggested. That's why I didn't buy Diamond or Arceus because that is definitely not what I want in Pokemon games. Witcher 3 was regarded as one of the best RPG and boast about it's meaningful side quests and super long story, but to me that sounds exhausting. I want game that I can play like once every two week without looking at guide everytime I boot up because I forgot where was I. For me Pokemon is the comfort game that I absolutely love. You asked why he deflect criticism, but I want to ask you instead: why can't you just find something else to "fix" or "improve" if you got so many bright ideas? Same with this Warrior franchise, I like how braindead it is to just smash buttons. I can skip the story and watch them on youtube on 2.x speed on my free time. I mean those things that you listed are like the least of my priority of what I am looking for in a Warriors game. If every game franchise become some "masterpiece" like Zelda or Witcher 3 then wouldn't it be super boring? To use your own words, please don't diminish, dismiss, minimize, or downplay lazy gamers like me who just wants some bare minimum game to have maximum fun. My dollar is equal to yours and I want to be happy playing these games without using what's left of my braincell after a long day/week.

Hilda: Guinevere, Bride Larum, Dieck, and Elimine. Tethys and Ewan: So many ways to clear this. Brave Byleth also just takes care half of the map by herself. Freya & Triandra: Astrid and Duo Azura supporting Young Mia and Altina massacring everybody. Guinvere & Melady: Naga enabling OG Merric and Jeorge to be more than decoration in my barrack. And Female Kris was there to pick up loose ends. Legendary Lilina: Legendary! Ephraim, Brave Eirika and Selena + Tethys. I really thought I wasn't gonna make it and would have to refine Halloween Myrhh, but double canto+healing is just too strong.

Another new mode that doesn't involve My Summoner. The themed banner looks interesting and the designs are cool, but too close to CYL. Might get canto sword for my Cain though. I don't understand why Kagero is the backpack, this is the most perplexing duo that confused me throughout the entire video. Done the 11 pulls on Hero Fest banner and not even a pitybreak. Naga C skill refine makes her a good support. L!Alm is gonna be pain to deal with again, his weapon isn't too outdated and even a tame refine would up his offensive prowess.

@Sasori I always thought your Lugh was +10, seeing that he was dealing so much dmg and outspeeding enemies. Feels more impressed now that I saw he is only +2. @GuiltyLove Fliers with trace makes a lot of room for maneuver. My +Spd fallen lilith can't outspeed those bats either. @Some Jerk I tried my Priam with Lull Atk/Spd and Marth is still crazily stacked. This turns out pretty manageable when I gave up and use dancer instead. Hapi can probably clean this map even faster but it's been a while since I use Selene in anything. Gatekeeper is just tagging along, poor man I had to drag out the fight just to get him one kill.

150 orbs, 3 Green mage guy, 1 L!Nanna and 1 Peony. I would feel like it's rigged if not for Nanna . Nonetheless had to use the guaranteed summon on Askr. Hope to get one copy of Otr for fodder purpose but the future looks a little bleak going by my current pulls.

No it doesn't work like Witstrike. It switches the stat of your str and mag, witstrike is calculating all attack as magic which will target enemy's res. A lance with inverted phy/mag will still target enemy's def but use your Lindhart's Mag stat as it's Str stat. Inverted Tome won't work with Luna because tome target Res as always, it's your Lindhart's own Strength and Magic number got inverted, Inverted Physical Weapons will work with Luna I think. Haven't test it out yet because 3 of my Black Eagles are already on Great Knight path...for Luna.

@Burklight Thanks for the response. @Sire I just spent my Friday night grinding for her Essence of Fire skill lol, I thought it would help Maddenning mode a little. Luckily it won't be for naught since she has a innate ability in Gremory class, and almost all my mages are in transitioning to other class or underleveled (Why does leveling takes so much gold and yet mission capped it at 9999). This is my personaly pet peeve with Claude's route. They make a whole new character (Hilda's brother) and not bother to make Judith playable when she is present in camp and stories most of the times. She was even in Claude's paralogue which is a 2-unit only map. I played plenty of musou games and I seldom see them have so many unique models without making them playable one way or the other, Orochi warriors let you play as generic mook #1 and #2 and gave them personalities and backstories.
