Othin Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 One nice side of this for me is that I don't have the original versions of any of these characters yet, so any of them would still be a new character, although I know I'll be getting Xander through the GHB eventually.

Yeah I know, it's understable was just kidding haha Also Easter Xander can bond with Leo as they talk about tomatoes and carrots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sylphid Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 That banner is glorious, I can't stop laughing. I especially love the over the top, hammy voice acting. Frankly I doubt I'm going to pull, but I really appreciate the sense of humor involved. And alternate Camilla certainly answers my past concerns about lack of ranged fliers in a way. 7 hours ago, Ether said: It depends. Some games are liberal with seasonal events, some do a bunch of them, We don't know how Heroes will handle it. Christmas, New Years, Easter, Halloween, the solstices, summer, it's all viable event material. And they're all going to be silly, so if you are looking for serious versions of characters, look elsewhere. Implying swimsuit Bea in February isn't totally serious business. Off the top of my head, every mobage I know seems to do at least Christmas, New years and Summer, and almost all do Halloween. After that it's bit more random, Easter's certainly a new one for me (though now that I think about it, I don't think I've seen a mobage hold a seasonal banner in Spring so it makes sense).

April 1st is the first day of the school year in Japan, so Tales of Asteria does a school uniform gacha every year around this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cute Chao Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Chrom actually looks really good like that - better than his current art. Xander looks a little... camp xD I want them both <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSmokestack Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Wow, this thread blew up. The designs are pretty ridiculous on the one hand, but on the other, I kind of like the effort that went into this just to do something goofy for the player base. If I remember correctly, the interview with the devs mentioned how the game would have small spots of comic relief like this in the form of xenologues and holiday events, so in hindsight this wasn't unexpected. As for the units themselves, I'm most likely pulling on the banner. Mage flier has a ton of potential--I got a Hinoka with hone fliers to abuse it with--and I still need a good blue mage and green axe. Xander with potential Distant Carrot (patent pending) is crazy too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suddenly the school gacha in Puzzle and Dragons and school uniform skins for the zodiacs in Granblue Fantasy make a lot more sense. You have opened my eyes to the truth. It's weird I never connected the dots on that one though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taxon Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Ooooh, am I the only one getting flashbacks to the first event Overwatch did? You know, the one themed around the Olympic Games? Everyone was pissed because you had to rely on the RNG to get exclusive items which were only available for a limited time... It meant you either had to play the game obsessively or shell out real money in order to get as many loot boxes as possible and increase your odds of scoring the item you wanted before it vanished forever. Except, back then it was only cosmetic items up for grabs. Here we've got unique units to play for, one of which is the first and only ranged flier in the game. I'm really not sure how to feel about it to be honest. As long as the new limited time units aren't too overpowered I guess it shouldn't be too bad...? Still, if one undoubtedly good thing has come from this it's that ranged fliers are finally a thing. It should add another layer of complexity to the game and now evil waifu Aversa actually stands a chance of making it into heroes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caster Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Every gacha type game does these seasonal and holiday events, I personally really like them. It's just a fun time, which I have no problem with. I'm looking forward to it, I probably won't get to roll much since I'm a bit low on orbs, but oh well.

Alkaid Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 (edited) Well, I really wanted Lucina and failed at getting her on all the other banners, but I don't know if I'll roll for her this time. I'm not feeling any of these costumes, except maybe Camilla. Figures she's the character I already have 3 normal versions of. I'll probably roll for her anyway since it's exclusive for at least a year. Hate the bunny Xander and Chrom though, they just look too ridiculous to me. Designs aside, Camilla looks pretty awesome if she is indeed a ranged flier. I'll be curious to see her stats too, given they're already pretty mediocre as a regular flier, and a ranged one they may want to make them even lower.

I'm mostly fine with it because there hasn't been a worthwhile orb expenditure for me in over a month. I decided not to go for ninian, so I've got a massive stockpile just sitting there. But I can imagine this would be quite frustrating for some people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I blew pretty much all the free orbs we've gotten during Ninian's banner trying to get her and failed. I also failed to get Effie and Lucina when they had their banners the week before Ninian. I'm sitting at 17 orbs right now and wish I would have never bothered with Ninian. I never even played her game, I just wanted a good blue/dancer.

Cute Chao Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I am glad they've made it equal genders. So many games seem to focus on only doing special costumes for girls and forgetting their guys. I'm liking Xander and Chrom more. I really hope I get them with the few orbs I have left... or the new April missions boost up my orbs to good amounts again :) Not sure I can afford more whaling >.< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiran Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Okay...Now I'm sad. Chrom is actually adorable. But I don't need more axes....Plus I was going to save orbs for all the Echoes banner...Even if it breaks my heart not to have our first flying mage either, I'm going to have to pass on this banner. As a collector and f2p I'm depressed that I won't have copies of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I've saved up 120 orbs once again after dumping the previous 130 or so I'd saved into the current FE7 focus. I will be sure to spend my orbs only on blue and green summons this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
