Book Bro

I don't like when "normal" characters like Dorcas, Jorge, etc. are made into memes for CYL. But characters like Gatekeeper, 3-13 archer, etc. are great. The unsung heroes of FE.

Gatekeeper is winning this, for sure. The part that's unclear is who he's gonna push out of the top 2.

Yup, first time there are no obvious winners. I would even say the expected top performers might not be such a sure bet since vote spamming surely influenced that as well as meme picks in previous years.

Well shit, Flame Emperor just chilling on the list there huh. Might have to toss some votes their way.

Rhea still being counted as two separate characters, smh. Assuming her Academy version is the way to vote given that's the one that ranked higher last time?

It looks like aside from forcing you to sign into a Nintendo account, there's also a more strict captcha filter (I had to repeat it several times). Hopefully it deters cheating.

Got my vote for Seliph in. This link should work, I think.

I remember Academy/War Rhea were oddly kept separate last year, I wonder if that was for spoiler reasons, and if this year they'll tally the votes together? It would be unfair to keep them separate imo. As someone also planning to vote for her, I hope this is confirmed once the site opens.

Part of me wishes Sothis would win so that we'd get her adult form in the game. I mean it might happen eventually either way but it would be an easy Brave alt for her. If Marth wins I'm still hoping he gets Starlight.

Shit how did I forget Elincia? I'd totally vote for her over Dorothea but I feel the latter has a better chance of scoring highly given recency bias and the coveted horny vote.

I'm thinking some combination of Seliph, Rhea, Pelleas, and Dorothea. Expecting the winners to be Byleth x2, Marth, and Eirika, which... I wouldn't be excited about, but Marth and Eirika definitely deserve it.

Pelleas for me.

Should've just straight up called this "sex sells, the banner". Plegian festival my ass, lol. Half of the characters don't even know why they're here. Also hate how sexed up they made Dorothea. She's classier than this ffs.

1. Nyna 2. Medeus 3. Gotoh 4. Jedah 5. Elphin 6. Nergal 7. Sonia (FE7) 8. Ashera 9. Pelleas 10. Thales And I know you specifically mentioned her as a bad pick but Rhea absolutely deserves to be in as a standalone character. Lekain, Manfroy, and Anankos should probably also be on the list but I had to leave them out for reasons. Validar who? I don't know her.

I just don't trust IS to add an avatar that doesn't usurp the plot and/or makes it significantly worse because of player worship. I wouldn't hate it if they did it solely for gameplay, I guess, but considering SoV didn't have one I hope they continue to leave them out of a potential Echoes subseries.

I just saw the Book V stuff and damn, that's the most interesting FEH has been in a while for me. I'd love a full game with this steampunk setting. I am getting sick of the freebies always being cute girls though. Would've liked if Reginn was older or tougher looking (like her brothers).

I just hope for a theme I can get behind. The fairy aesthetic, music, characters, and convoluted story of book IV turned me off completely and I started skipping all dialogue almost immediately.

Hoping for FE4 remake next year at some point. I think we'll definitely see something announced next year but who knows how development has been affected. New game in 2023. Would be odd if they took longer given how successful 3H was, series is growing with every release so it makes sense to capitalize on that.

Yes! I just saw this, perfect banner, I'm a fan of all 4 characters. I'll be focusing on Guinevere and Dieck. That art for the latter is everything!

Should have included FE11 or at least 3, honestly why not do an Archanea collection and include 1, 3, 11, and 12 and sell it for idk $50? The timed release is bull, but I'll buy it so they know there are people interested in the JP games.

Definitely going for Flayn and Seteth!

Great banner, nice to see some more Tellius, Jill especially.

This is the best seasonal baner in a long time for me. I want them all! But since I'm low on orbs I'll prioritize Sigurd and Deirdre and hope to get at least one of the others. I'm glad Eldigan is a freebie too. Love me some FE4.

I don't see that happening nor would I want it to. If anything I could see a collection of Marth's games with the originals plus the remakes or PoR+RD remasters.

Men: Arvis (armoured green mage inspired by Deirdre), Zephiel (blue mage inspired by Guinevere) Women: Elincia (flying bow with Geoffrey's colour scheme), Rhea (flying red stone inspired by Sothis)
