All the feathers are going to Cormag.  Looking forward to capping HM on several units during this.  I hope I get lucky with the tickets. I always look forward to the character interaction during these, though I kind of hope Marisa, Joshua and Eirika make cameos in this one.

Accessories....

Here are the multipliers:

Understated head gear!  Finally!  Not everyone needs a full helmet.

[Anacybele]

So, I guess we're going to see someone conversing with both Ephraim and Lyon at the same time for their conversations. Otherwise, how else would it work?

It's interesting seeing these alternate perspectives.

 

On the very rare occassions in which we do get full helmets, I see a lot of comments saying how much they appreciate accessories that aren't just more headbands or hairpins, but there are clearly those who prefer the headbands and hairpins.

 

Personally, I like both. I just prefer that they be immersive. I like helmets, headbands, hairpins, etc. I don't like rubber ducks, beach towels, and snorkel gear.

I like headbands and circlets and all the such, but I don't like how they always go over the units hair, especially the ones that clearly go under the original units hair (see Sue's headband or Reyson's circlet).

I know it's probably not possible to make it work the way I like it, but you should try harder to meet my most unloftious expectations, DumSys.

Best accessories now and forever are the duckies and squirrels. Alternative answers are merely opinions, not facts.

But, what we need are wigs. Lots and lots of wigs. I want Ethlyn's hair on Leif's head. Most children in FE4 have their mother's hair color, Leif's must be corrected.

Please let Ewan, Ross and Amelia reunite in this Forging Bonds. Their interactions in FE8 were pure gold. Marisa also needs to talk to Gerik, Lute needs to be in there, God there is so much potential in this Forging Bonds. Please let it be good and not just the characters having somewhat interesting but ultimately pointless conversations with the Askr Trio/Kiran.

Ewan needs to talk to Amelia, Ross and Tethys.

Tethys needs to talk to Gerik, Ewan and Marisa.

Gerik needs to talk to Tethys, Marisa and maybe LA'Rachel.

Ephraim/Lyon need to talk to Eirika, obviously.

And.... just throw Lute in there, somewhere.

Ugh, 100% agreed!! The full headgear of the last round was hard, it didn't match that many units. I love the simple head gear I feel like it fits characters better!

But facts are fake news though.

Oh man I love this so muuuuuch! X3 I haven't even seen any supports yet and this is definitely one of my favorite FB stories!

Edit: Huh, that's fun. Both Raigh and Lugh showed up as enemies on the same map.

Another very good FB story, although I haven't finished it yet. 😄

There's something wholesome about Fjorm's conversations with Tethya, as well as Sharena's with Ewan.

We have some really good interactions in this Forging Bonds. Fjorm's conversations with Tethys are gold, easily my favorite out of the bunch. Lyon and Ephraim's part is also incredibly sad considering what happens in SS.

[Zapp Branniglenn]

This Forging Bonds did something SS could never do. Make me care about Ewan. His chat with Sharena is exactly the support conversation he needed in that game. Not more fourth wall breaks with Dozla or macking on Amelia.

[eclipse]

@DraceEmpressa please read the topic before posting the same thing that someone else did.  In your case, you're off by twelve hours.

I like the backstory on Gerik and Tethys.  I'd comment on Ewan if I could ever get red support points.  And I want an alternate universe where Ephraim/Lyon wind up being allies for an entire game.

um, so how do you delete existing comment?

[Mercakete]

Just finished watching the Ephraim and Lyon conversations (they just so happened to gain the most points. They're at 2922 and everyone else is still below 1000...) Man, this is the kind of content I like! This is why I loved FE9, 7, and 8 so much (not that I've yet finished 7 or 8.) It just resonates with me... I'm also really enjoying Gerik's story. Ewan's is so touching, too. Tethys is one of the dangers in the series I can actually respect; I knew that even before reading these conversations. LOVING the writing in this!

Maybe edit your comment to not have the image, and comment something different.

[Zapp Branniglenn]

Interesting that Tethys/Fjorm and and Gerik's conversations include the same backstories as told in Tethys/Gerik in SS. Down to using some of the exact word choice in the former case. On the one hand, it's lazy and conflicts with Tethy's saying she'd never tell this story to anybody but the chief. On the other hand, yep probably one of the better support chains in the series and worth ripping off. And is it really plagiarism when you're quoting yourself?

[Landmaster]

Sharena finding all those dads for Ewan is the most precious thing

So, did they copy the very end of the TethysxGerik? The part where I've envisioned Tethys leaping into Gerik's arms, and then she begins to slide his pants down?😜 

[Edrey]

I think this is my favorite event now ; seeing so many mercenary bands interacting with each other was really special. 

I'll use the mode to decide supports between characters from different games XD.
