I'm sure that someone has pointed it out already, but I genuinely don't think that this is necessarily true anymore. I think the balance has shifted to more female over time, largely due to the most recent games. Most fire emblem fans I know are female, as opposed to most general video game fans I know being male. But yeah, if it is still true, then the only real reason is because video gaming has historically been mostly male and male-oriented. That said, there is are now entire genres of female oriented-gaming. The fairly obvious otome genre is a great example. (And annoyingly well represented on iphones as opposed to male games. Seriously, Amnesia and Hakuoki are available, but Stein's;Gate and 999 aren't? That's not fair!)

My team isn't even sort of ready for this. I've got Robin hood: level 33 David: level 37 Darius: level 40 Jing ke: level 40 And that's frigging it. I'm gonna do a 30 pull (I really, really want Nursery Rhyme, since I'm a big extra fan), but since I got Scathach on the first try, I feel I've used up all the luck I'll ever have.

Not too bad. If you're working digitally, are you using a tablet? If so, there are a ton of shortcuts that you just have to pick up over time. Watching videos of other people working is a good way to do that. As for fabric wrinkles, I think you're actually totally fine on those. Don't add any more. If I could offer a few critiques, my biggest criticisms would be 1. Eyes: eyes are ovals. Yours are spheres. Ok, that may have been a bit too vague, but you've got to account for depth on the pupils. 2. Arms: I have a lot of problems with this too, but you don't have clear elbows. Anatomical studies would probably help here. Your best spot is definitely the legs. They're almost perfect, and the feet are phenomenal.

Must've missed that. Good catch. Still, BHBs have always been (to me at least) a poor substitute for GHBs. Even when the characters were bad, it still was fun to get an exclusive character that way. Orbs just don't give the same thrill.

Heartily Agreed.

Well, what if Loki is actually Anna's sister, lol? The mysterious older sister who some how doesn't look like the other 789,000?

This seems to always be their strategy, treading that fine balance. On one hand, they do seem to be genuinely trying to uphold the "you can experience everything without paying money" premise, while on the other, they want the cold, hard cash. It was the same with CYL: "Here are these incredibly broken units! But don't worry, we'll let you get any one of them for free, so everyone gets their waifu!" What this does show is that they were serious when they said they wanted to ensure that units will not be powercreeped. I foresee that the game will be rebalanced more in the future to counteract the next set of powercreeping. In fact, I bet that a base BST increase will be handed out for the old units in a year or two. I mean, who cares about the Ayra crap when she's now part of the super hero fest? THAT SAID, I'm still not sure how much longer I'm going to stick with the game. For me, the biggest, most massive disappointment has come from the removal of GHBs. This is the second time we're going an entire month with NO new ghbs, and this time, there aren't any new BHBs to make up for it. There's just nothing but reruns. That for me is the biggest issue. There aren't any fun challenges in the game any more. Tempest trials are far too easy, chain challenge difficulty peaked with chapters 10 & 11, and arena and AA are just a boring slog through the same five team comps over and over.

With this update, they seem to have specifically picked out all of the least-meta weapons to target, but I ASSUME that all non-divine tier weapons will receive the same treatment at some point (armands, falchion, etc). Due to how utterly sweeping the changes are, I don't think it's safe to say anything about how the meta will be shifted at this point. There are so ridiculously many new possibilities this has opened up that all we can do is wait and see. Also, Fjorn's speed was only 31, I think? Idk on the distant counter part, that may have just been her skill (though I really, really hope she does actually have dc) The tiering of speed has changed so drastically recently that I don't think it really matters all that much. You either have more than 36 base speed or you don't. That said, you're right, she IS going to see use being a) free b) waifu c) uniquely skilled.

I really wish they'd add something like that to FEH, the interludes in FGO are so great.

I don't know if this is really happening, or if it's just me, but ever since the Ayra thing happened, this game has started to feel really stale. As much as I love Halloween Henry, most of the others just felt... meh. But what's really troubling is the BHB repeat. Back when this game started, we got two GHBs a month, and I said back then (you can check the threads) that I felt that was too slow, and we should get one every week. As I said at the time, the rate of releasing new characters was so slow that it would take more than 8 years to release all of the characters from the poll. Well, now it's gotten even slower. And not just a little slower. New characters are being released at HALF the rate they were at the beginning. In October, we only got six new characters (not counting shigure, who wasn't "added for real") If there isn't a new GHB this month, we'll only get five new characters, maybe even four if they pull another "3 character banner" thing. There haven't been any new or exciting things going on and that has me worried. 90% of the content now is extremely tedious, whether it's arena assault, or repeating the same GHB/BHB just with a handicap. Edit: @Eclipse: I agree, I don't think Ayra had any impact on the meta what so ever (other than pushing out Non-DC swordies). She's far too easily countered by the existing meta to do anything.

Whoops, thanks. But again, this is not the thread for these arguments. I've stated what I think. If you want to argue this out, we'll have to do so somewhere else.

I'd like to see that, because Shakespeare has a lot of good characters. There's a ton of possibility there.

Lol, I don't want to start an argument because A. This is a thread for unpopular opinions anyway B. 90% of this is hypothetical But the gist of it regards how stupid the advice actually is when taken in context of everything going on: 1. Greil is a former Daein general who is guilty of desertion, which is punishable by death 2. Oscar and Titania are both former Crimean knights and would likely be executed by Daein 3. Mist has Lehran's Medallion, which Ashnard is searching for, and would obviously kill her over. 4. Daein's goal in the war is to create as much chaos as possible. They have no actual intention of subjugating Crimea, since Ashnard basically wants to destroy the world anyway. 5. Since the princess's identity is a secret, Daein would need to eliminate anyone who knew about her to keep rumors from spreading. 6. By the time Soren has given this advice, they have already killed over a dozen Daein soldiers, and their comrades are unlikely to forgive that. I mean, a lot of that Soren couldn't have known, but some of it he definitely should have. It's just funny how egregiously stupid his advice actually is. Plus, shouldn't he have realized Daein was planning to ambush them? They'd already attacked without waiting for explanation only one chapter before hand. I mean, what did Soren think, they were just going to say "Oh, no problem that you killed a bunch of our comrades, we'll totally let that slide."

Jeanne alter is a big one to go for, largely because she's both really good and a fairly rare class. I'd only go for Brynhildr if I fail to get Scathach, but that's just me personally. Another big reason I'm rolling for Scathach as a F2P is that craft essence is supposed to be really good. I don't have any illusions that I'm actually going to get Scathach, I only have around 10 summon tickets and 120 quartz, but I did get 2 victor from the moons rolling for drake, so I might at least get one fragments.

OMG, I agree with you on these points, this is exactly what I was going to say. 1. The removal of the magic triangle was stupid and imbalanced magic for all of the games (bishops seriously had no point in awakening) 2. Soren is an idiot and almost all of his advice would have gotten Ike killed if Ike had listened to it Soren: we should immediately surrender to Daein (Daein immediately kills them to remove any witnesses) Soren: We can't trust these beastmen and we shouldn't trust them (Daein ambushes the group and slaughters them) 3. I don't care that there's a difficulty I'm never going to use anyway.

Well, there are a few things. Path of Radiance actually sold quite well, it had very high reviews too. Although it came out pretty late in the GameCube's life cycle, thanks to backwards compatibility on the Wii, it had a lot of growth during that generation as well. It was Radiant Dawn that actually tanked due to it's difficulty, bad reviews, and complete lack of support conversations turning people off. Ike is also extremely popular among the female audience due in no small part to Fujos shipping him with Soren, so that's given him an enormous amount of staying power through things like fanfics and fan art, which keeps him in people's memory. He's also not unpopular with male players, so that helps too. As for Lyn, she's derived almost entirely from emulators. I mean, GBA Fe sold fine and reviewed fine, but it was pretty niche. GBA emulators are super easy to run, and almost any pc can handle them, so even people who don't normally do serious gaming could get into her game. As for why she's popular, well... 1. She's generally every male FE player's first crush. (And maybe some female players) 2. She's got a unique and interesting personality with a lot more depth than most of the other lords (such as her intense hatred of the bandits that killed her parents) 3. She's got a great character design. ( I mean, I don't know how well it works as an outfit, but artistically speaking, it really stands out.)

Cool. Well, definitely going to pull for her. That's the weird thing about FGO as opposed to FEH. For FEH, you don't ever want to Yolo pull, because pity rate means that you actually do increase your odds with each pull, rewarding spending more on one banner. But for FGO it doesn't matter when you pull the odds are constant.

Can anyone explain to me why Scathach is so popular? I mean, I guess she's the only 5-star lancer we're going to get for months, so I'm going to roll for her, but in terms of fan art, she's basically everywhere.

"Short Haired Ladies" This banner is the epitome of class and good taste. I wholeheartedly approve. The biggest problem is deciding who to support....

Eh, he deserves it. Doesn't matter much, though, I'd bet. Even if he got life, from what I've heard, guys like him don't live long in prison anyway. "No known terror ties" on the New York attacker. Well, we'll know soon enough. This time we can actually ask him.

Geez. That was nearly a decade ago. Did he get death sentence or life in prison?

Guy was from Uzbekistan, right? According to wikipedia, the last major terrorist attack in that country was in 2004. It doesn't have any connections to ISIS, and is not considered to have a major terror threat. Doesn't mean that the guy isn't connected to something or other, but again, ISIS has the tendency to claim responsibility for things that they didn't actually do to make themselves seem stronger (like when they said they were responsible for the vegas shooting)

Indeed. And weird as it is to say, I'm glad the guy responsible survived. I've had enough of the whole "Terrorist shot himself, so we can never know what motivated him." I'm glad he's going to be able to face justice.

Lol. Have they done any non-nasu crossovers?

That'd be cool. Oh, they haven't done like anything from vikings. Lots of good mythos there.
