Early Revealed Artworks: I've reached the image limit for posts, so the artwork section has been moved to this post.

Updates: I believe the information shared in this thread should be all the known information we have up to the current date. Please post in this thread to share new information as it comes! I will keep this post updated with news and images at it arrives. I'm also open to suggestions for things that should be added to (or removed from) the OP, formatting changes, etc.

Discussion & Speculation: I know this thread is a bit early, but I thought it would be nice to have a place to start collecting the various bits of artwork that we've seen so far. What colour do you think we'll get for Judgral? (Obviously I'm guessing gold. :P) Which Genealogy characters are you most looking forward to seeing? What do you hope to see with the additional cards printed for Revelations? What do you expect to see with the Genealogy ST deck? Who do you think will get SRs and/or signed cards? Feel free to also use this thread to discuss and speculate what you think we'll see (or what you would like to see) in the new series.

I'm really hoping we'l get to see an Azel chipher card. As the main villain's little brother and an interesting character in his own right he would deserve it I would say. I'm not sure if Azel will get one though because the reasons he deserves one applied for Awakening as well from which he was strangely absent.

Arvis naturally deserves one as well and I see he already got quite an epic artwork

I guess Trabant and Blume would be up for pics for being ruthless but still respectable villains. Hilda is infamous enough to warrant a depiction as well.

[spoiler=Kawade Deck List from Cipher Caravan]

---

Assuming a 50/50 colour split, these are my first draft FE4 SR picks: Sigurd, Seliph, Arvis, Ayra, Levin, and Fury/Tailto. There are so many well-known characters, though, it's hard to whittle down. Sigurd and Seliph seem shoe-ins, and Ayra and Levin are very popular. Fury or Tailto is mostly because I think it'll be another female for the last slot and both of them got figures in the figure set, so they're also probably pretty popular.

For Fates, I'm betting we'll be seeing a lot more cross-colour and class-changed characters. Maid Elise is already leaning towards that. I'm honestly hoping we don't get even more Corrin SRs; they have 2 each now, that's enough. 6 isn't enough to give all of the royals SRs either, so it may just be certain ones, or maybe they'll focus the SRs on the non-royal popular characters. My money is on a little bit of both. Oboro is probably due for an SR given her high popularity. In fact, if we were to just take the most popular Fates characters that haven't gotten SRs, after Oboro we'd have Niles, Odin, Lazward, Charlotte, and Eponine. Although the children characters in Fates seem to be overall less popular than those in Awakening, they have given SRs to Lucina* (twice) and Severa, so I could see Eponine getting one given her relatively high-placed spot in the polls.

(* - Lucina being such a plot-important and highly popular character means that she doesn't really fit the example as well as Severa, but I'm listing her here anyway for the sake of completeness)

Anyway, I'm mostly looking forward to this set breaking my bank.

[Draxal]

You forgot everybody's favorite social knight/cavalier Finn who always does well in the popularity polls (but he might be in it for Thracia instead). I also see Cuan and Eltshan (man I really forgot their Awakening names); getting SRs as well.

Edited March 14, 2016 by Draxal

[Kirie]

Finn is my darling and I really wanted to put him in the 6th spot but I really don't see them including so many males and so few females as SRs (especially given how popular/expensive the female cards tend to be), and I don't think he's as likely as the other males. That said, if he gets an SR I will snap him up in a heartbeat.

[Draxal]

Oh I'd be shocked too, but at the same time; you're not the only one who likes Finn alot; he does very very well in these popularity polls.

[Hardin]

I think it's safe to assume that the other Hans sketch Kozaki showed off sometime ago is also going to be part of this set. One as his chapter 3 fighter version, the other a berserker

I'm really interested in seeing what they do with substitute characters for the FE4 cards. I don't think they're really in high demand, but they'll have to deal with them sooner or later. The massive Elibe and Jugdral rosters will be interesting to see unfold.

I'm intrigued, too, but I think we'll both have a while to wait. Substitutes are probably way down the list of Judgali characters to get cards, so I wouldn't expect to see them until the 3rd Jugdral set or so (with the second set being Thracia focused).

[Together We Ride]

Since each continent will be featured in at least two series, I wouldn't be too surprised if Series 6 just focuses on the first generation of FE4. After all, if we give those character just two cards each (a base class and a promotion), that'd already be 48 cards, or nearly half a set. And that's not even including Arvis or Eldigan, who are totally getting cards at some point.

Granted, Awakening and Fates' first sets didn't feature every 1st gen character, so it's likely that Series 6 would follow suit... but hey, one can hope right?

[Kirie]

I would prefer to see the first set devoted to gen 1 and a later set followed by gen 2, but I think something more in the style of Awakening and Fates is more likely, since there are multiple sets worth of precedence. Oh well.

[Aquantis]

Given how they did the Exceed a generation figures, I think this will just be on the G1 characters too. I wouldn't be surprised if the SR's are the same as the figures, sans Sylvia (so Sigurd, Levin, Fury, Tailto, Ayra and Eltosian). Though Arvis is another good one for an SR from G1 (would love to see Caun and Finn, but I don't think that will happen for this series).

I would think that anyone with major holy blood could be in the running for SRs at some point.

[Kirie]

OP updated with new artwork! And thanks for telling me the name of that weird monster thing, Hardin. I was wondering if we'd come across Fates characters I haven't seen in game yet.

[AstraLunaSol]

Sigurd please take all of my money.

[Sartek]

*throws money at Deirdre's and Lachesis's arts* Why is nothing happening?

[ChibiToastExplosion]

Sigurd please take all of my money.

Pretty much came here to say this.

[Jayvee94]

Forrest still looks fabulous as a Butler.

Also, princesses like a cup of tea cliche. *ding*

[ilovstuddy]

Correct me if I'm wrong but I heard (with my crappy Japanese) in the livestream that there wouldn't be Kamui/Corrin or Aqua/Azura cards in this set since they want to focus on Xander/Marx and the Nohr Kingdom. Also it's interesting to me how Midoriko's class is Merchant, which is a Hoshido class, yet her card's supposedly Black/Nohr in this set.

I heard this too, and Lynn was disappointed that there won't be any Azura cards.

[Kirie]

I'm actually kind of glad, to be honest. We've got a lot of cards for the Corrins and Azura already, so it'll be nice to give the other characters more attention.

i totally agreed, those character have the highest posibilities. And for the Nohr side i suspect coming a sorcerer/witch Camilla as SR card since the various class changes.

raquesis looks like she took that Patented Linde Moehammer to the face, but otherwise god damn jugdral is off to a fine start here

This set is a precedent for a most wonderful future... say, I wonder if Gaiden would also go under the Sword of Light insignia.

[Jayvee94]

There is a lot of yellow in the Genealogy cards.
