First off, what is the possibility that If might be pushed up to late 2015? Wasn't Mario 3D World Moved up a few months in 2013? I honestly find it hard to believe that it'll take them a whole year to localize it when they're perfectly contempt with localizing Pokemon, Pushmo, Mario Puzzle Games, and other lesser IP's and get them released in the span of a few days or weeks after Japanese release. Also, I honestly don't think they have the balls to have two versions on release. That'd totally kill sales. My theory is that the physical copy will launch as one game with both campaigns while the special edition will launch with a download code for the third route. Then, to appease Japanese gamers who were upset they had to pay for two versions, there will be two seperate versions with a different campaign launched only on the Eshop. So that way, Physical sales won't hurt due to having more then one version, and the option to buy seperate versions are there.

It'll probably work more like Classic FE's. Limited Support Options for each Avatar and Character. It doesn't seem like Pairing will be that big an element this time around. As for who, it'll probably be the side characters like Orochi, Felicia, or Kazahana.

It still make you wonder why they even bothered to bring him back. Especially since his death was the only point of development for Say'ri

I think the families on both sides will be alive no matter what route, while the side characters on both paths (Kazahana, Orochi, The Maids and Servants, Saizou) will be the ones killed. Due to the fact that it seems that Felicia will side with Hoshido regardless, since she'll probably won't be playable in the Nohr campaign while her counterpart will be. That and IS has a track record of never killing off important main characters and royal family in previous FE's. Emmeryn's death was supposed to mean something to the story, but no, they just retcon that along with Yen'fay's death either to please the two fans that wanted them playable, or They wanted to imply that Lucina actually did change the future by arriving. they just have weak stomachs and don't enjoy scripted deaths, they'll gladly kill off side characters or units with more personality then the main characters with sad 3 second music and one little quote. I wish IS treated death a little more seriously to make a dynamic story or add depth to their characters.

The designs on both Hoshido and Nohr are great. Some are pretty bland, but there's good designs on each side. Ryouma looks extremely overdesigned, almost like they gave up on deciding a class halfway and just threw him in as a Sword-Wielding class. Sakura and Hinoka seem a bit bland in terms of design, only thing I like about Sakura is she has a cute and kawaii face. Orochi, Kazahana, and Saizou by far have the most interesting designs I've seen. Seeing them makes me wish they put more effort to the Chon'sin characters in Awakening. Marx looks alright. Camilla, well I really don't need to say much. She's obviously designed for a certain audience. Elise has the cutest design of any healer I've seen in FE. Leon is bland, he's just in the Dark Knight armor from Awakening and that's about it. Felicia is the best because maids are adorable.

Well, if it's been confirmed we might as well just focus on the aspect of handling death then. Cause I honestly wish FE treated Death a bit more seriously rather then lol she's actually alive!

I feel with the speculation regarding Aqua being Hoshido's prisoner, this topic needs to be bumped.

Judging by what has been said in official releases. The world and characters will be the same for each route but the story will differ. I ask this, strictly because I wish the game gave you a reason to choose a side over the other story-wise and have some characters die to give a genuine emotion of regret out of the player as well as questioning morality of the route you chose. Awakening honestly did a pisspoor job with death with the Spotpass Paralogues.

Also, we have confirmation of the Nohr sister's name which is Elise.

Anybody else think some character names will be changed? In Awakening, it wasn't that bad and there were minor changes to character names outside of Velvet to Panne or Tiamo to Cordelia...

Perhaps the Well-Dressed man, along with Felicia are Kamui's childhood friends/servants from Nohr. Like Felicia, he's a butler in Kamui's service and follows him out of devotion or friendship. They look roughly the same age as Kamui. They along with the other maid could be Kamui's friends from Nohr that aren't related to him.

http://serenesforest.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/feif-mainvisual2.jpg On the Nohr side, there's a maid who was seen in the first trailer but blocked by Felicia's face. There's also an elderly knight-looking man who seems extremely serious. On the Hoshido side, there's a well-dressed man by Felicia. Any Theories about these characters or what class they are?

Is it sad that I forgot Awakening had multi-player??

I'm down for that. I honestly think the Hoshido and Nohr choice should have alternating characters depending on choice... It'd be interesting if the situation with Felicia and the other maid were like the two fighters in FE4's Second-Gen (Their names escape me at the moment) where one has to die while the live one will join your side...

Yep. Gonna spoil myself rotten. Either that or I could import a Japanese copy... But that would require me to learn Japanese...

Maybe Ryouma has powers and he doesn't want to give his opponents a disadvantage. Or he could be a Manakete but lost the ability to transform like Xane (Although Xane could transform into anything else...)

I really like her character design (Obviously looking at my profile pic) But I haven't seen anyone talk about her considering how dynamic of a character she could be. To those who don't know, it's known that Felicia is initially affiliated with Nohr at the beginning along with another maid who may or may not be her sister and could be in the very first in-game scene (Judging by how she's waking up Kamui in the first trailer), but she could eventually follow Kamui to Hoshido either out love or dedication as she is seen on the Hoshido box art while the other maid is shown on the Nohr one.

I could see interference from a country from another continent (Preferably one based on North America, Africa, or Australia) kinda like Awakening's Valm Arc, but the overall focus will still be Hoshido vs Nohr.

Perhaps like with Nohr, they might also have some inner-kingdom affairs to deal with as well, but doesn't get as much focus as the Nohrian attacks. I still think Hoshido seems way too goody-goody. I could have sworn that in at least most FE's, the main kingdom has some dark past or part in a war long ago that either isn't elaborated on, or is crucial to the story.

I made a topic about this on Gamefaqs where it quickly got a bit out of hand (Sigh...) But I notice that the promotional materials paint the Hoshido as the victims like they're the good people and they should be the people you should side with to get a good ending. Does anyone else think that there's more then meets the eye when it comes to the Hoshido, like how they might secretly worship an ancient evil or do Ethnic Cleansing? I just feel that if there's a third DLC neutral route, there would have to be a reason why Kamui would not want to side with Hoshido cause it's clear Nohr are glory-seeking killers.

First and Second Gen were split like FE4 and the entire second half is about the 13 children and some Extra/Paralogue First Gen Units (Gangrel, Priam, Anna, Etc)

Topic says it all, I see alot of Chrom!Inigo and Frederick!Cynthia on streetpass

I'm a newbie around these parts so sorry I don't do my research... But 45 min on Lunatic is Amazing that guy is god...

What exactly could they do for a 1-2 range?

This looks absolutely beautiful... But I do wonder if it shows any of the other First Gen-Units besides the Potential Parents like Flavia or Gangrel... They'd probally be dead in the FoD timeline anyway. Off-Topic: I shared this on Gfaqs and the topic quickly devolved into a debate about Bald Eagles (Hate and Love the Awakening Gfaqs Board at the same time if any of them are reading this...)
