I hope she isn't that cold-blooded I see her being both cold at times, and warm at times. Depending on the situation. Or at least that's the vibe I'm getting from her character here.

Ivy Wife Supremacy Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 (edited) I love that NoA changed their Twitter banner to Three Houses now!!!! :))) Edited July 2, 2019 by Dorothea Joestar Arnold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentinel07 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 I'm quite curious to see how Edelgard's no nonsense personality plays out, particularly since that's a rarity for FE protagonists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranulfo Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Can't wait for Edelgard to summon three dragons and ride them across the entire continent setting everything on fire because you didn't choose to help her study to become a brigand. Linhardt looks cute in that cutscene, and I actually like Hubert better now that I know he's probably gonna be a tired sarcastic asshole who likes coffee lmao Petra though... Not loving her speech patterns. That's not really how someone that's learning English speaks, though I guess it depends on what her mother tongue is.

To me she just sounds like a perfect American adding plurals where they shouldn't be, but hopefully that just means she's advanced enough in her learning that she'll speak almost perfect Fodlaner(?) after the timeskip. I'm sure that'd make her happy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricaofRenais Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Hopefully I can figure out what house I want to pick first soon with hype finally starting. Right now I am thinking Blue Lions and Dimitri since he seems to be the most bland house leader by what I have seen so far. Plus I like his post timeskip art.

Gregster101 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Oh hey some actual advertising from Nintendo, that's nice to see. Note to self though, never go into the comment section whenever Nintendo's twitter posts anything about Fire Emblem. Anyway, can't wait to see when they have Dimitri and Claude narrate over their respective houses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etrurian emperor Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Interesting to note that Edelgard's future title will be emperor rather than empress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onestep Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 13 minutes ago, Etrurian emperor said: Interesting to note that Edelgard's future title will be emperor rather than empress. Not unknown throughout history. Jadwiga of Anjou was crowned King of Poland, for example. This was because the polish nobility wanted the ability to deny her betrothed, William, the title of 'king' without their consent. Several nations, including Hungary, also simply had no legal provision for a ruling queen, but also no rule stating that the King actually had to be male. So to prevent succession crisis's, female rulers were still 'Kings'. Could be similar in this case, or perhaps, given that Fire Emblem nations tend to have FAR more gender equality than any medieval nation, the title is something of a historical artefact. Perhaps one of the first rulers of the Adrestian Empire styled themselves Emperor, and it simply became tradition that every following ruler was also 'Emperor'.

Ertrick36 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Okay, let's not look too much into the threads that'll follow from NoA's posts, it's just a bunch of hateful troglodytes who only want Animal Crossing and Smash because I guess fuck any other game that isn't your absolute favorite. As Edelgard once said (misquoted), "we have no choice but to eliminate those who cling to unreasonable ideas", the Nintendo fandom ought to be purged in Seiros's holy fire ノ ノ彡 🔥 Sorry Weegee fans, it's the only Nintendo emote I could find from SF's list, and I don't feel like making one myself. 21 minutes ago, Ranulfo said: Fair enough.

I'm sure that'd make her happy! People have mistaken Swedish voices for American accents. I'm just saying, it's possible for non-American English speakers to sound completely indistinguishable from Americans. I'm actually kind of glad they aren't going for an overt stereotypical-sounding accent or speech pattern, that gets grating at times.

As a foreigner myself I just wish they would hire an actual foreign voice actor for these type of characters that have the fact they're still learning the language be such a huge part of who they are, instead of telling a natural English speaker to make a silly accent or not trying at all. But it's just a minor nitpick. This is a fictional country she's from so for all I know it could be an equivalent to Sweden in terms of language, even if her physical appearance doesn't suggest they were going for that.

Azz Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Hubert and Linhardt, despite being the most boring looking from the outset are slowly rising up my favourites list. This makes me super happy for next week knowing we're gonna get Dimitri narrating something about the Blue Lions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all we know, she may actually be voiced by a foreign-born actress who, as I said before, could easily be mistaken for an American voice. Anyway, didn't actually say anything about the video itself. For one thing, I like its style. It plays much like an advertisement for the Black Eagles. For another, I definitely relate to Hubert's likes. Coffee and irony are indeed things I like. I'm looking forward to seeing what's in store later on, even if it's just repeating information we already know for the most part. If only because I'll get to hear whether or not the characters have quality voices or voices like you'd hear in the original Resident Evil. Stop it... Don't OPEN that DOOR! Spoiler Shoutouts to whoever gets that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reveal hidden contents Shoutouts to whoever gets that. True, we don't, Here's hoping we don't get another Gregor or Athena! Hopefully we'll get more cards with likes and dislikes from the other members of the Black Eagles before we go straight to the Blue Lions. I wonder if we'll learn about Bernadetta's hobbies, or if Ferdinands dislikes are "Empire" and "Edelgard" lmao Edited July 3, 2019 by Ranulfo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Hubert has anything. Now, I know there are high critical spells (like Ruin), but 100 is still pretty ridiculous XD I mean, maybe they're right and it's support, specifically a gambit. It's not that much more ridiculous than +5 move for almost all of your team really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually kind of glad they aren't going for an overt stereotypical-sounding accent or speech pattern, that gets grating at times. The reason Swedes speak so good English is because of our comprehensive English education and our exposure to American media (that is usually subbed rather than dubbed). If you look at older generations, from when English wasn't as big of a school subject and American movies and television weren't as dominant, you get way more stilted speech and noticeable accents. Petra, by comparison, is explicitly unfamiliar with the Adrestian/Fodlan language. Also reposting this from the twitter update thread: 22 minutes ago, Druplesnubb said: This video made me realize something. There have been hints that Edelgard will get a second crest at some point in the game. Maybe Linhardt is the one that figures out how to give it to her and operates/oversees the procedure?

TheDreamReturns Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Edelgard sounds like she'll be a pretty interesting character and I like the particle effect for Miasma. Can't wait 'til they get to the Golden Deer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NekoKnight Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 The Likes and Dislikes presentation makes me think of the COs from Advance War. Incidentally, I'm pretty sure Hubert is Hawke. I'm not as sold on the voicework yet. I think the original Edelgard was better and Petra sounds more like she's an American doing "I can has cheeseburger" speech than a real foreigner. I know people are tired of Gregor or Athena types but I'd prefer she had an accent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivy Wife Supremacy Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 (edited) Man this is such an eventful week!

TheGoodHoms Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 From everything I've seen Edelgard seems very self-righteous in the worst way possible, the kind of character that thinks they always know best and that the ends justify the means. I don't think this makes for an inherently bad character, but I have a feeling since she's being pushed as the game's main protagonist she'll never face any lasting consequences that force her grow and change because God forbid we suggest our hot wifu heroine is anything less than perfection. Maybe I'm just overthinking it, but I wouldn't be surprised if things pan out that way. 3 hours ago, Gregster101 said: Oh hey some actual advertising from Nintendo, that's nice to see.
