Jagged Jagen

Let's put this into Classic FE Archetypes, shall we? Felicia = Waifu (For me at least ) Joker = Malledus (Somewhat, Best Comparison I could Draw) Gunter = Jagen/Oifey Can't tell for the Ninja's, but Gunter's a total Jagen.

I don't mind anime tropes, but there are more fans than the Awakening initiates you know...

I have no interest in marrying royalty. I want to marry Felicia. I personally oppose S-Support of Camilla, but am in favor of s-supporting other characters, Whether they do it given the story is another matter, but I would like it for said other characters.

I like Felicia, good to see she's on both sides! :) Also, new weapons for Maids and Butlers, now I'm interested. Also, if we're not getting the Magic Triangle, this is close. However, are Silver and Brave swords rare, given the lack of durability? EIther way, I like the nerfs and buffs per weapon, that's a good system.

Magic... Triangle, and Weapon... Trinagle Merged?

I'm not sure if we'll see DLC in general. IS has to make 3 games, each the size of Awakening, which is a task in and of itself. Also, with the two path's and their different designs, the DLC would likely have to be path exclusive. Imagine Nohr Grinding DLC? Or Hoshido DLC where you play fighting Hoshido. I just can't see DLC happening unless it's exclusive to a specific path. If that's the case, I'm not sure if Scramble meets the tone they're setting with the game and the grey and grey morality as opposed to the much lighter (By Series Standards) FE:A.

Bigger then Phoenix/Casual ones... wow.

Supposedly with Eirika and Ephraim, but I don't see it. Asking to marry Camilla, your adopted sister whom you were raised with seems more incestuous than a group of supports that shows that Eirika/Ephraim care for each other and want to protect the other in trying times.

Given NOA, heavily unlikely. You can probably have your platonic supports, (CBA) with her, but likely nothing more.

Honestly, I don't mind this. But, what I'm concerned about is the stat boosts. It's great if your helper can't attack in Pair-Up, but if you have God tier statistics, I fail to fully see the balance. Especially if you were paired up with, for example a Cleric, who wouldn't inherently attack to begin with.

Or in 11 or RD! But, due to the localized status of the majority of the support games, it should concievably return. Also, FE4 love system.

Very fair. Honestly, Supports have always been big in the FE series, and I don't see them going anywhere soon. However, I do think that the # of romantic supports will be more limited then Robin's I'll date everyone of the opposite gender that isn't my child.

Honestly, I'm really not sure... Don't get me wrong, it seems fully probable that Supports are back, but I do wonder whether they are simply platonic. I actually like the "waifu" aspect of Awakening (Though the 2nd gen was rather forced) and will admit that I find Felicia and her maid friend attractive, but I am not sure if the game's focus on family will render the system obsolete. I mean: Aqua, Elise, Hinoka, Marx, Camilla, Leon, Ryouma, Sakura and Takumi are all family, and the protagonists of the story. So, I'm certain you can have your typical C-A supports, but not S. It's still on the table, but paired endings would be nice too. Whether platonic or romantic, they were a nice touch and revealed in cases if your characters even married at all.

Kamui having Dragon's Blood doesn't bother me... everyone else having it does. I mean, from a Hoshido standpoint, it MAY make sense, but seriously, 10 characters with the same bloody abilities. I mean, those with Dragon's Blood/Manaketes are essential to the lore (Hell, I love Ninian partially because of it) but an overabundance isn't good. My biggest fear is that the bulk of the screen time will go to said Characters... again. Don't get me wrong, I like FE's story, but they need to give more focus on other characters. Awakening came closest with their support system, so anything goes!

I think skills need a bit of tweaking as I found they activated a tad too often.Luna isn't bad, if tweaked accordingly. I'm against Galeforce simply because I feel it harms Dancers.

I'm personally against it, but one Nohr and one Hoshido level would make a great demo.

Just realized, the new weapons system, is it hinting at heavy weapons and reavers? I miss those. Even with the lack weapons breaking, getting something scratched off my list of things I want to see is cool. Also, are the arenas in Nohr too?

Thanks for the clarification and translation! :) The hype train is back on track again. Thanks for the clarification as well! :)

What do they mean by this line exactly, that they want to make a game accessible on all fronts or the want to make an easier game balanced around phoenix mode. I'm rather perplexed. I assume based off later comments that they encourage Classic but have the other options, but I find the wording of this quote rather odd.

I like that they're encouraging Classic, it shows they do care for the mode. From story purposes, I can see why they don't withhold and amnot against it, but I hope they give something for completing classic. I don't care if it's a badge, gold or an achievement or a miiverse stamp, a little something would be nice. But no guarantees, just hoping.

Interesting, is the counter true too? If someone on Phoenix finds it too easy, can they switch to Casual/Classic too?

Fair enough. Either way, the mere prospect of its return makes me smile.

Wait, weight is back and we have anti-killer weapons, almost like the hoplon guard built into the weapon. This is starting to lower my anger at the changes, IS taketh with one hand and give with another should this be the case.

They changed the Weapon Triangle? Odd but welcome. The more strategy, the better. Now let's work tome in there or bring back the trinity of magic! :)

Any info from the interview? More so do they mention why they removed Weapon Durability?
