SushiCat Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) I like how Dimitri seems to be stubborn to a fault. I mean all the portraits are facing left and he's looking to the right Jokes aside, it's awesome that we're finally getting some news, and that we'll apparently get something every week from now on.

It's still possible there could be some building customization since they show so very little of the social and casual aspects of the game so far(you know the very popular things). They obviously have to talk about that very soon tbqh since that's what me and so many others are interested in the most. Especially since we already see a good amount of other things already likely in one of the upcoming Famitsu articles before a focus trailer on that till release hopefully in the next issue if its not shown for the one coming Thursday!

Cysx Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) I think the art of both Byleth is by far the best we got for either of them at this point, to be frank. So that's something. But doesn't F!Byleth's sword look... different? Might be the angle. Edit: Plus they're both the same on the boxart. Jeralt being just thrown in there when every main character gets their own section feels like a bad omen. Also I think Dimitri's lance is the same as on the cover art, which strengthens the implication that it's some sort of personal weapon. Most shots are probably from Garreg Mach, except Sothis' obviously, but Jeralt's might be a different place too. It's just too small for now, but I think it might be his and Byleth's home.

The DanMan Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Sotthis having amnesia just furthers my theory that she's the sister/discarded part of Seiros. We've already got an evil church so it isn't like this game is going to do much-- honestly, after the 3DS era consistently shit the bed in the writing department I'm not sure why people have any hopes for this game's story. Jeralt just being stuck in there without full art is even further confirmation that he's going to die/be possessed/yadda yadda. I'm mostly interested in more gameplay details and desperately hoping they don't axe the Weapon Triangle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDreamReturns Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I have a bad feeling about Jeralt too, really hope he isn't just discount Greil. Recycling the dead mercenary father stuff is already pointless, but wasting it on an Avatar? I'm hoping Jerry turns out to be a good character and I'm just being paranoid. The fact that Sothis is talking to Byleth on the field there (at least that's what it looks like) makes me think that she'll be the one to introduce Byleth to whatever time based ability she seems to grant Byleth if our assumption is correct. I'm guessing it'll work like Shulk's foresight in that he'll foresee an unfavorable outcome and maneuver around it if this hasn't already been said, if it has I apologize. The main three have such strong designs, I can't decide who's I like more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingle Jangle Posted April 23, 2019 Author Share Posted April 23, 2019 About femByleth's design I have seen this edit around the internet, Quote I like black instead of the white for the collar. And the removal of the pink/magenta ribbon.The arm lace is a nice touch for a more regal appearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayra Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Yay, news! Or news about upcoming news, at least. I guess we are really just getting face shots for dialog segment instead of full upper body this time? I admit I liked the larger shots we got in the more recent games, but if the in-game visuals are integrated well (for example, we see the characters doing proper animations during those conversations), it could be an upgrade. It'll also solve the "problem" where the character outfit didn't match the art after class change (face shot = outfit is irrelevant). I think this art for F.Byleth looks nice? I really wasn't a fan of the in-game model we have seen last trailer, but in art form it looks nice. I'm still not a fan overall and I still give the design a thumbs down overall (the tights mostly, and the nonsensical breastplate), but I'm a bit less negative about it than I used to be. Dimitri's armor is the most armor-like we've seen so far, so I'll take that improvement too. The colors on those images are brighter than what we saw on that trailer: I hope that's actually the case and not just on those low quality screenshots. One of my biggest complaint with the game's visual was how drab and "flat" everything looked. Those screenshots are brighter, more vibrant. I hope that will apply to the release game itself too! Sotthis amnesia... Not a huge fan, but I favor that over the protagonist having amnesia. Overall, I'm positive with these "pre-news" personally. It's mostly just from an aesthetic standpoint of course (no gameplay and very little story to be gained so far), but I'm happy with the improvements (in my opinion) being shown here.

Very true hopefully saving the best for last! Hopefully we do get to that stuff REALLY soon that's all I care about at this point till the release! Yeah @CysxJeralt barely getting any big summary or full official art like the others(atm anyway) definitely doesn't bode well with his fate(it does look like Jeralt and we are in a house probably our home starting off at the beginning).

Rose482 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I do hope that the avatars will have different personalities, it would give the game more replay value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDreamReturns Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 One thing I'm interested in is the whole "choose your side" thing, whatever happens to the royals you don't pick is something I'm eager to see. Do you fight and conquer them? Do they eventually join your cause anyway somehow? my money's on the latter :/ They're definitely going to wind up fighting at some point so its at least interesting to think about.

FuranSuwa Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) I just got the last issue of Nintendo Dream, there are a few pages about the game in it, mainly an analyse of the last trailer but I don't really read japanese so I can't understand everything, but there is a picture of a white flag with a dragon and a shield that I don't remember seeing before : Spoiler It seems to be the blason of the Church of Seiros.

(Sorry if this was already shown before) It's also featured in the Seasons of Warfare calendar. But if that''s the Church of Seiros's flag, what's the flag being raised in this image? Edelgard can be seen holding this flag too, but it doesn't look like Adrestia or the Black Eagle's. I guess it could be the Knights of Seiros? Hopefully we'll find out soon anyway.

Reveal hidden contents Look at the bottom of the map, by Hresvelg. The dragon is new. There are pretty clearly close ties between the church of Seiros and Adrestia. The adrestian symbol is visible in various places of Garreg Mach(even though you'd expect it to be neutral territory), and the "oracle"'s dress also features it. I'd assume that in general, the eagle represents Adrestia and the dragon the church specifically, and that the above shot doesn't feature the knights of Seiros, but regular adrestian knights, hence the flag. It's true that it's weird that we get three different flags for Adrestia, but I don't think there's a way Edelgard would use it with Adrestian soldiers under her command if it was anything else. It's also visible here, in what seems to be the training grounds, which are very likely part of the academy rather than the church. As a result, we may actually not have seen any knights of Seiros at this point, beyond the fiery swordswoman, assuming she is one.

Except Fates at least lets you ignore it for the most part unless you go out of your way to romance them/dress them up weird. Meanwhile, there is no escaping Nowis outfit. Also the tongue-in-cheek part was mostly added by the localization. In Japanese, Nowi acts and talks exactly like she is 6, but it's okay to marry her because "1000 years old". Meanwhile, in Fates, the only "loli" to wear provocative clothes by default is Nyx, and at least she actually is an adult in mind and action.

That’s a fair enough point but the tongue in cheek is also kind of there in the japanese version(considering nowi’s jp name is nono). Nowi at least isn’t calling you onii-chan every 5 seconds even in the s-support(at least as far as I can tell anyway) I dunno I’ve seen too much imouto anime in recent memory to be comfortable with that term Edited April 24, 2019 by Ottservia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubling the syllable is commonly done in cutesy nicknames. It also pairs with Nah's Japanese name of "Nn". Basically Nowi and Nah are "??" and "..." (or "Hmm") in Japanese. So, no, I would not give the writers credit for that. As for the onii-chan part, again that only gets creepy if you go out of your way to marry one of your little sisters. It's also a thing with the younger brothers, who I am sure you'll agree are a bit too old to be considered shotas. It's definitely targeted at that particular kind of audience though, but again you aren't forced to engage with that content unless you specifically go for it.

thecrimsonflash Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 after looking further at it, I love that sothis art, it has an excellent contrast between character design and personality, the design is loli-esque giving a harmless look, but the pose itself comes across as more dominant, it does make me curious about how sothis will be written, I certainly hope they give her a more level-headed attitude (though that does seem likely).
