In this weekly thread post, we will be discussing everything possible about a certain character in the latest Fire Emblem game, If or Fates. In these posts, everything from backstory to gameplay optimisation can be discussed here, as long as this rule is in place... NO STORY SPOILERS, as I want to know everything about the characters, but not anything that is to do with the main plot, such as main plot encounters with the character as an enemy. This week, I'll be covering the Fire Emblem series' first ever male Pegasus rider, Tsubaki of the Kingdom of Hoshido.

Ever since the DLC for Fire Emblem: IF / Fates came out, there have been things that were bothering me. I'd like to share them with you and am interested to hear your opinion on them as well! Everyone has different options, so feel free to agree or disagree with me on certain parts. I apologise if this post may be long, but I hope you'll bear with me. Anna the Outlaw Anna has always been a popular character in the Fire Emblem franchise. She's the face of many stores in previous Fire Emblem games, the gatekeeper in Awakening and the store attendant in Genei Ibun Roku #FE. Anna is a character that everyone who played Fire Emblem knows and she's a very popular character as well. In IF / Fates, Anna is now a paid DLC character. You can't get her through normal means, unless you pay for her. Just like the other units, she has supports, full skinship functionality and marriage options. Anna might be the gatekeeper for the Dragon's Gate, but that still is no excuse for making her paid DLC in my opinion. For such a popular, loved character, I think it's truly disrespectful to put her as paid DLC. Invisible Kingdom: Beginning & Conclusion Honestly, I don't really have any good word to say about this one. I did really enjoy it, but already having to pay for the Invisible Kingdom and then making you pay again for backstory? Luna, Odin & Lazward mention that they're actually Severa, Owain & Inigo in a conversation with Kamui, yet the game never references back to it unless you get the DLC. It's part of the story. The story that is already divided in 3 games making you have to buy all 3 paths to get a full story. Weapon DLC (Duelist Museum) Once you complete the game and buy every limited-stock item you can buy, the shops never restock. They'll only have the normal infinitely-stocked items that - although some are useful - aren't anything special. If you want the stronger, better and more unique weapons and want to forge those weapons (seeing as you need duplicates of the weapon you want to forge), you'll have to buy the weapon DLC. DLC Skills I'm fine with the DLC classes, as they don't have broken stats or anything. However, the skills can be a problem. Skills such as Aether, Rally Spectrum, Ignis, Shadowgift, Warp & Witch's Poison are all very effective and useful skills to have on your units, yet are all locked behind a paywall in a way (I know you can get Aether from Great Lord as well, yet you only get 1 Great Lord seal). Skills that other than Warp & Witch's Poison have been in Awakening before and have proven themselves very useful. If you're planning on playing Online Multiplayer, it's a safe bet you'll see lots of people using these skills (especially Warp & Rally Spectrum), seeing as they're extremely useful and Warp is completely broken in battle. They give you a high advantage in combat. Of course, I'm not saying it's not possible to beat people with these skills, but they do have an big advantage. Although there are still other questionable DLC items on my mind (and other stuff regarding the game), I don't want to make this post too long or a pain for people to read. Please don't get me wrong, I highly enjoy the game. I know DLC is optional, but these especially have been bugging me and would like to hear what you all think of the DLC released so far. Thank you all very much for your time reading this!

So I was checking up on the merchandise and I noticed this: http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B014WAN3WU/ref=s9_psimh_gw_p14_d2_i2?pf_rd_m=AN1VRQENFRJN5&pf_rd_s=desktop-1&pf_rd_r=0YZV5QNR0W1V431EVWEC&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=207655209&pf_rd_i=desktop A calendar for Fire Emblem Fates will be released in November/December (some retailers had different dates). So I was wondering....do you think the official art of the other characters done by Kozaki will be in in it? Just curious to hear your opinions!

im planning on importing a japanese 3ds but want the digital copies of the games (all paths). I think you have to have Nohr or Hoshido before you purchase Invisible Kingdom DLC, but i would like to know if i need to have a physical copy of Nohr/Hoshido in order to buy invisible kingdom off of the eShop? Any help or info is greatly appreciated (￣▽￣)

I don't know if this has been asked or answered already but I can't seem to find anything so if anyone could help, that would be much appreciated, but here is my question: Have ANY of the Critical Hit/Skill activation quotes been translated? I'm really interested to see them. (More specifically, do Odin, Lazward and Luna have the same critical hit/skill activation quotes from their real identities from Awakening or are they different or vaguely reference their awakening quotes? And do Gray, Matoi and Shara have the same critical hit/skill activation quotes as their previous selves from Awakening? Or are they new/vaguely reference their awakening quotes?) Thanks in advance to anyone who helps!

So I'm currently playing the game on a 3DS with 9.0.0-20 firmware. I use it in a 9.4.0-21U EmuNand as a cia. The cia was built from the rom I dumped from my retail copy of the Special edition which I know supposedly gives you the 3rd path free, but it wasn't available on launch so it's not pre-downloaded. I'm curious as to how I can get access to the 3rd path and/or DLC? Thanks in advance!

I did a Felicia VS Joker Poll here~ so I think it would be fair for some sister rivalry! (If there wasn't already enough...excuse me for a moment) VS

I haven't finished the game yet, but I've noticed quite a few characters have A+ supports, and was wondering what exactly these mean. I understand they are the platonic version of an S rank, and that it allows them to use "buddy seals" and what not and do not result in children, but do they result in a paired ending, and are they limited to only one like S ranks? Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello, I´m new here and I´ve been searching everywhere, but I weren´t able to find good reference pictures of the character designs. So I wanted to ask if someone has some pictures from the artbook or screenshots of certain characters. I would be really happy if anyone could show me pictures of the male pegasus knights (to know what their trousers look like or what boots they wear?), Nishiki and Flannel. Thanks! :)

For now, we all know that Marth, Ike, Lucina, Minerva, and Robin are DLC characters. What characters would you like to see... back in FIre Emblem IF? <<<MARTH <3

Tomorrow, when the digital version comes out. I'll be streaming it on my twitch channel. For those wondering, I'll be siding with Nohr. The stream will start around 4:45PM CEST (convert to your own time zone here), the game will be 'available' at around 5PM. For the sake of translation, and my own habit of wanting HD screenshots from the game, during the stream, I will also take a lot of screenshots that could be useful for translation and just nice looking things in general. I'll link the capture card program to my Dropbox account. That way, every time I make a screenshot, it'll be directly uploaded to Dropbox as well. For those of you interested, you can find the shared folder here.

Hey everyone. It's pretty awesome that the avatar is the lord this time around. As the title of this thread implies, how do you guys think customization will work this time around? We've seen various screenshots of Kamui having different hair styles and genders, as well as different face types, but I wonder how Kamui being the main protagionist might effect customization. In the latest direct, there was a scene where he was being welcomed back in Hoshido. We could see what appeared to be the default build of male Kamui in his outfit, although his face was blocked off by someone's hat. Could customization be somewhat limited this time around? In general, what are your thoughts?

So... Fire Emblem If is officially out in the wild now, thanks to a Chinese store that broke street date on the game. There's even a stream up on a Chinese website with the player using a female avatar. (Ask for the current link in the chatroom) What I'm posting about however isn't to talk about isn't the leak or the story, it's the supports, and a big addition to them. Yep, I'm bringing up those again. But why you ask? [spoiler=Introduction of "A+" Supports]This It's all fine and dandy that the avatar can S-rank with their Nohrian family (and even their Hoshido family, apparently) but what I'd like to draw people's attention to are the supports. Not only do previous support ranks C through A and S appear - as they did in Fire Emblem Awakening - but now there are also "A+" supports. Just another level of supports right? Nope. They are all limited to characters of the same gender. This may be a new system to show the player which couples can have children and which can't, but it could also simply be a cop-out where same sex partners get passed off as "best friends" or "comrades." I'm hoping for the former rather than the latter, but either way it's a step in the right direction. What are your thoughts? Since so little is known at the moment, anyone who can read Chinese/Japanese and doesn't mind spoilers is urged to watch the stream and explain what they mean. Discuss!

Did anyone consider the fact that we have no actual Fire Emblem in this game? Does anyone have any speculation on what it might be, or speculation at all?

I know there's still a lot we don't know about Captured units, but going off of what we do know, how do you plan on using them, if at all? Personally, I can't see myself using them at all since I assume they lack supports and the various dialogue like critical cut-in lines. A unit would have to have a very useful skill that I couldn't get in the game.

So I had this topic in mind for a while and it doesn't look like anyone has made it. I could be completely wrong but YOLO. This topic came to mind when I heard you could Terraform stuff with dragons vein. So what do you guys think? Edit: As most have seen in the Japanese FE If intro video Camilla could dry up a lake so do you think that Dragons Vein will be plot relevant during chapters that you may use it.

2 days ago, I couldn't sleep. Last night, I slept for a while. When I woke up, something felt off, but I couldn't quite figure out what it was. Then my mother told me to go back to sleep, because I'd been up for too long, but I couldn't. I have to thank her though. Hiding under the covers, thinking and trying to piece together the dream of the night before, I was able to figure it out... Then I had trouble Posting... Google Chrom didn't want me to figure it out. Internet Explorer was killed like Sigurd years ago, but Firefox knew... And it helped me. Because it's in IF. You see, I dreamt of FE, but you see I thought I was dreaming of just IF, then I realized... It's a cycle. FE Awakening was the first FE on the 3DS just as Roy's game was the first on the GBA, both were acclaimed to be great but then people argued as well over the shit main lord, his blue haired companion who was deemed a better unit, as well as the popularity of said Lord (Roy being DAMNED if his fans don't want him back for smash, Chrom winning the popularity contest). The unfair difficulty of certain aspects (Lunatic/Lunatic + and Hard mode for Roy), the fact that it had come out after two games on the same continent, these things seem unconnected, until you look at IF If is FE 14, and yeah yeah, 7x2, BUT just like FE7, the leader is an evil FATHER, when was the last time we had one of those? Furthermore, we have returning popular characters from the previous game, I.E: Owain and Inigo in comparison to Bartre and Karel and Marcus, even if they aren't connected. They're the second of the new handheld series, and are supposed to improve upon what went wrong in the first, as well as having their own stories. Are they related? We don't know, but we DO know that we also have THREE stories in FE IF. FE7 had three stories, although not to this extent. ALSO, Rumors of an FE 2 remake have been circulating around now... What can we pull from this? We're in a cycle of FE games being re-made and re-distributed, albeit slowly changing to something grander. Is it better? Opinionated. Is it Worse? Opinionated. But it IS different. It is a child. Children go back to their memories to see what works and what doesn't, but they also try new things. By the gods, don't you see? WE neeeeeed to stop complaining and let FE try out new things. FE is 14 now. It's going through puberty! at 13 it thought marriage just happened and then kids came out. It forgot the truth of the traumatic experiences it saw when it was just a child, but now... It's starting to understand love again, it knows you need physical contact. We're on our way back to the beginning. 2025, FE 4 remake confirmed. PS: If FE is the child, then as a parent, we/you/I must accept the phases our child, FE, goes through. Dammit let it experiment. If it doesn't, it'll grow to hate us/you/me as we and its other parent (we/you/me) fight. It won't be sure what to do, and nobody will be happy with what the outcome is. Or it may grow to become something so fantastic as to shut us all the fudge up (Pardon my Marcia).

We should be considered to be within the main series or not Hey there, look... I do not know if someone already made this issue but I was looking and found nothing. Well here's the question: if we can consider this new game to be in the main series or not. When I say the main series I mean the world of Marth/Alm/Ike /Lucina /Chrom Google... I read the available information we have given by the game developers where one of them ("Sorry I can't remember your name") said this would be a "new world" Now my point, if you've played awakening and bought the DLC (To be exact, "The Future Past") you will know that Naga tells us more than once and she says: " Although it seems your world is not the same" Oh something like that. My point is... that in recent weeks, we were bombarded with lots of information. You know Severa.2 and Inigo.2, a talking fish "insert your joke here" this is what i have to say on the subject of "my castle" Camilla and Nyx, go up to my room, I'll be playing day and night. Ok time to be serious, well you can imagine that many elements in this game are very radical that we find in the main series. And everything indicates that this game is being developed into an alternative world. And back to the question of the beginning of this topic. We should be considered to be within the main series or not? And if you try to answer the question is going to be a little confusion. A)If you chose no. The situation is quite simple, new world that has nothing to do with the main series. B)if the answer was that it is a part of the main series Someone could tell me how this can be? Did you not see the plot holes that will create with this? I mean in this game they tell us the pegasus knights technically do not exist, but in the main series they already exist from the beginning. And to make things more complicated we have Severa.2(In the world of critics we call it laziness) in short what do you think about it?

Fire Emblem: IF New Characters + Names. So, I translated the names to the best of my abilities (not including the streetpass characters).

So the direct was in Japanese, but it seems like many new features are going to be included! Link to the video -> http://youtu.be/6oO7b-oWl2g

Awakening was a bit of a let down for me in terms of multiplayer. Sure, the occasional street pass keeps me somewhat content, but I was expecting more with the latest functions of 3DS wireless capabilites. For example, my best friend and I do not live in the same state and have loved Fire Emblem ever since Fire Emblem Rekka no Ken (Blazing sword) was released for the GBA. The only way we can "play together" is by skyping, and in that sense it was a big let down for my friend and I. Personally, I would like more out of the multiplayer aspect of the game: direct Player vs Player on a dynamic or default map. What are your hopes for wireless? Any news that I'm unaware of?

Hey guys, while I was reading the new information, I came across the name of the characters we didn't know, as well as, their classes. To start with: Marx is a Paladin (nothing special there) Camilla is a Revenant Knight (New) Leon (the younger blonde haired prince from Nohr) is a Dark Knight (we guessed as much here) Elise (AKA twintails) is a Rod Knight Ryouma is a Trueblade (most likely not a third tier promotion) Hinoka is a Pegasus Warrior Takumi is a Bowman Sakura is a priestess What do you think these classes mean? Why isn't hinoka a pegasus knight instead? What is really interesting to me is that Camilla is a Revenant Knight. What does that mean? I thought that she was a wyvern rider? Are these special classes for these characters only or are they renamed. Of course this still the translation, but it is interesting to me at least.

I could be looking into this too much but... Could Aqua be the daughter of the previous king of Nohr? The previous king is Garon's brother and he had him assassinated. Garon disposed of Aqua by giving her to Hoshido. I'd like to think this is why she has a mask when you side with Nohr lol I thought about this when I read Aqua's quote: "I am Aqua. I'm Nohr Kingdom's princess... or was, rather." Isn't it weird that she refer to her royal status as "was"? If she was in the same place as Kamui, her royalty status is not going to be gone by just being raised in Hoshido. She also looks vastly different from the current royal siblings. well Kamui is too but i believe in the theory that Kamui isn't actually Hoshido royalty. The only downside to this is that Aqua must be pretty young to remember when his dad was killed. But idk maybe Garon reminds her everytime she's not a royalty anymore when she was still in Nohr. Also the previous king totally gave Aqua the fire emblem w/o Garon knowing.
