October New Heroes Speculation/Wishes

[Fabulously Olivier]

What do you expect from the October New Heroes banner? 

 

I'm going to predict a Binding Blade banner, based on my Lost Lore theory. That being that Lost Lore exists to convey the story behind the next month's banner to the casual audience, and thus get them more invested. The previous one being a New Mystery event leading into a New Mystery banner, both featuring Sirius. This Lost Lore is a Binding Blade event, featuring Sword Narcian and Windham. It also namedrops Elffin in the lore book and shows off his original artwork in the final act.

 

My predictions for this banner are:

Sword flier Narcian alt (red)

Elffin (blue)

Igrene (colorless)

Echidna (green)

 

And as for the GHB, I'm divided. Windham is extremely minor. So despite appearing in Lost Lore, I have my doubts that he'd be our GHB, but it's possible. I think that Brunya is more likely.

The lost lore link seems pretty far-fetched, as it's just the second one, far too early to make any real connection.

For now, I agree. For my part, I think it's a fun connection to speculate on, and so I've left my thoughts.

 

My wishes, as ever, are for a Goldoan banner.

i always expect fates whenever there's a new banner (be it new heroes or special heroes)

i'd say charlotte with firesweep axe, rinkah, reina and yukimura (i don't know, i'm just scraping the barrel)

i'd like to see more genealogy, since its next banner should focus on the second generation

i'd imagine altena with a new gae bolg, febail with yewfelle, arthur and, i don't know, some less popular guys like johan, johalba, lester or delmud

 

Edit: why are there still people who expect TMS banners

I think the October banner is going to be Sacred Stones themed since it has been far too long when a FE8 character came into the game.

I consider Fates to be the worst case banner, albeit I do still want Rinkah and maybe Reina.

 

It doesn't seem from any of these polls that anyone EXPECTS a TMS banner, just that they want one.

Hey, give me Cormag and Forde and I'd be overjoyed. Sacred Stones is the most underrepresented game, and I really like its cast.

Our desperate and unrealistic hopes/desires are renewed with TMS Encore. Now that it'll be ever so briefly in the limelight again, maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe FEH will take notice of it this time. 

It's got things going for it. 6 females to 4 males, including a loli armor. Plenty of choices for new refreshers too, including one that flies.

 

 

I'm expecting Sirfetch'ed Heroes 3.

Hope? Well I hope Genealogy since Azelle's inclusion is still as overdue as ever. 

But I expect a Three Houses banner since its still got many, many character to add.

^This. I know that Fates overall is a meh banner. But my wish for Rinkah to be in the game, along with Reina and Orochi is still there. A mixed Banner with Rinkah would be fine. But who knows what to expect.

But Echidna from Binding Blade would be a Consolation. Would be totally fine with it. Well, if she has a chance that is. But thanks to Sigrun I see some chance for underdogs. Even if Sigrun was a bit carried a little bit by Sanaki. They still found her to be a good choice. 

Three Houses running wild is also ok, Ferdinand, Manuela, Marianne, Annette, Sylvain. All fine choices. Of course I think Dorothy has a good chance. Also we get some stylish hat thanks to Forging Bonds with Dorothy. Alone for that she is a choice.

Good idea. Personally, if they could drop a Fates banner with Rinkah, Reina, Orochi, and Charlotte, with Izana as a GHB, and then fuck off with Fates banners forever, I'd be perfectly fine with that.

Same, if at least Rinkah and Reina are in the game I could say Fate closed for me. Orochi would be a bonus. It feels the strange to still have some favorites luring in the most obnoxious Series. I can just repeat myself Adrift was a mistake, it should have been a simple Hoshidian banner with some of the named characters + Mikoto which was in Adrift. And it would have been done. I guess they are still searching for the perfect artist for Rinkah. PenekoR

I want Haccan for Rinkah. He's one of my favorites, and his artwork on Hawkeye and Hinoka shows that he'd be really, really good for it.

[Perkilator]

I’m expecting TH since there’s still a lot of characters not present yet.

But am I the only one hoping for some Warriors content?

[EricaofRenais]

Honestly I think it will be 3Hs but I would love a BB banner with Elphin.  I think the theory needs more proof before I will believe it.  I won't take it as fact until it has happened 3 times in a row.  Once is not enough to prove it.

Then maybe Darios or something?

I see, yeah Haccan would be a good choice. Hawkeye really shows that he could portray such characters in a good way. Also like his Effie. 
Overall I still have some hope to see Rinkah this year. 

I don't know. Before Warriors I'd rather would see Cipher characters like Shade or Randal.

Darios and Lianna plus some alt costumes. Ryoma has a very distinct one, as do Takumi and Sakura.

[Anacybele]

I'm gonna predict Sacred Stones since we haven't had one of those in quite awhile. And characters like Cormag and Duessel are still wanted from that game. I'd like Franz and Kyle myself too.

But of course, I really want Three Houses so Sylvain can be in it. 😛

[Mercakete]

There are still so many characters from the various FE games I'd like to see in Heroes... I think I'd be happy with pretty much anyone, especially since my least favorites are already in the game.

Does way more than that.

I'm assuming you didn't go through the end of it yet. Fully shows his original game art. 

[Gregster101]

I would hope it's an FE4 Gen 2 banner with Patty on it, though I'd also be fine with an FE6 banner with either Miledy or Gonzales.

I didn't say it's what I want. It's what I predict.
