Doing it for Archanea is ridiculous and yet it's exactly what they have done :^) Kill me please At least they didn't do it for the Thracia New Heroes banner. But I don't agree with your opinion at all. Sure it's not as much of a tragedy it if happens to a game with few characters left, but I still don't want to get one less unit for absolutely no reason. Give us minor NPCs for all I care. Mustafa, Candace, Hestia and so on are enough proof that you are willing to do it. So do it. JUST DO IT!

Nope. In the last Archanea banner they gave us two alts (Merric and Caeda) and 2 regular characters (Arlen and Yuliya) with a GHB Castor. No instant demote. Which means we would have gotten two alts (Azura and Takumi) and 2 regulars (Mozu and Hayato) with a GHB Candace. The precedente (and to be fair there is only two cases) is that when we get 2 special heroes who aren't OCs we only get two units and GHB with no demotes. The same thing happened with specail heroes Ivy and Hortensia that only had two regular characters (Rosado and Kagetsu) + GHB Mauvier. No demotes. It is asbolutely bullsh*t but it is what happened so far. I hope that they change their minds and either give us only one like in this new banner, or make instant demotes the norm.

The one character I am 100% sure we will see is Veyle. Other than that I really hope Maria wasn't a one and done and we will actually get Fallen Nyna. She needs an actually good version, come on! It would be cool to finally get a Deadlord, and Fallen Greil is long overdue. He is literally one of the first character I thought of when the concept was introduced.

Not gonna lie, Candace was one heck of a goated pick for GHB, it really made my day. Fates has been really good about giving us cool bosses and NPCs for GHBs instead of boring playable characters *coffcoffCastorcoff*. Xander was the exception at the very beginning, but they have been great after that one. Can't believe so many people wanted Shura. He can be put on a banner! The limited GHB slots need to go to the capturable bosses + Zola, Kilma and Kohtaro. And there are not enough slots anyway. Anyway, the even better news is that they put only Azura here as a special unit. We had precedent for expecting to see Ascended Takumi or something, and no Yukimura which would have sucked. Let's hope this continues to be the case going forward. With Mozu and Hayato in the game one of the three major groups of characters, the not-corrinsexuals is finally done. Next is the corrinsexuals and the kids. And I guess the Playable Bosses but I'm under no delusion that ALL of them will get in. It's more likely for us to actually get all 8 Elibe Legends in the game.

Oh don't worry, It's not like I'm not guilty of making overly long comments as well. I see what you mean tho. Tailtiu is often compared to some other fan favorite characters like Nino and Marianne for being good people who lead really tragic lives and who met tragic ends... I mean if Nino kids are orphans... you can imply what happens /tho in Marianne's case tho it's only if she isn't recruited that she meets a tragic end). But with Nino and Marianne there is more nuance + they have more screentime + their big moments don't happen off-screen so in comparison I guess Tailtiu is really underwritten. Well the good news is that a Remake could easily give her a lot more to work with. Not to mention other minor characters who need it even more (Silvia, Midir, Arden, Lana, Iuchar/ba, ANNAND!)

You dislike Tailtiu? Intersting, I'm curious as to why. I don't think I ever met a Tailtiu hater before. The general opinion online seems to be to either love her or be neutral towards her.

Yes! And he is in Heroes actually. Check your Grails menu, you can get him for your team right now.

In case anyone cares the 3 most wanted characters from Echoes are now. 1. Jesse 2. Nomah 3. Deen (base version) Unexpected to say the least, since I was sure Deen would receive more votes than Nomah. Maybe his fans are satisfied enough by his alt? Oh, and if we count NPCs base Rinea places way higher than all three of them so I 100% expect her to be the star of the next Echoes banner together with an OC with Jesse kind of thrown in just to add him. Also a funny coincidence is that after being added in the last banner both Mycen and Hestia dropped in votes as was expected. But this year they both received the same amount of votes. They are tied with 55 votes. IDK it's a bit funny to me.

Gotta go with best mom Henriette.

Final Ballot: Fiona, Misha, Yuliya, Touma, Mae, Bernadetta and Rosado. The first four were for the sake of getting them in the game. Then I was moved by the rally to give Mae and Boey one alt at long last. Bernie and Rosado are simply my preferred choices for the win who were on the interim results, but as I said before I would like almost all the top candidates this year if they won.

I'm surprised nobody suggested them yet since they were often brought up when talking about Harmonics that make sense because of Heroes like the very first one (Mia and Masked Marth): Midori and Eir: They add a really cute Forging Bond together. Nyx and Dimitri (War Phase): Same as before Also: Lara and Inigo: Thanks to their very recent Forging Bond Camus and Zeke: Come on, if we can have Anna and Anna, Tiki and Tiki, Byleth and Byleth and so on we can have this. If I had to suggest a Duo other than the ones already mentioned like Mae/Boyd: Zephiel and Guinivere: This could be interesting no matter what game they pick. Their adult selves could have a very deep and interesting conversation about their different views on the world and humanity. Their kid selves would be icredibly cute and it could also be an excuse to get the little FE7 Guinivere in the game as backpack just like how the little FE7 Lilina is a backpack to Hector.

Vote for Mae from Echoes so that she can finally get an alt.

Just watch as Raimi, Garrick and the village Maiden who can be Lucina's mom sneak in out of nowhere like ninjas.

Now that I think about it a little more. This banner kinda fits Tormod in a way. Nabata is a place in which dragon people and humans live together as equals. And Tormod is all about humans and dragon people (and bird people, and cat people, and dog people) living together as equals. He would absolutely love Nabata. So this is a pretty fitting alt for him all things considered.

Noire has been added as a Summer Version a few months after the first year anniversary and still has no base version.
