    Special heroes of the 8th February

    in Fire Emblem Heroes

    Posted

    I do want more Valentina representation, now these games have been around for quite a while, perhaps particularly focussing on Leon and Kamui (because of the funny support, it was never confirmed if Kamui was gay), Tatiana and Zeke, just for canon pairings, as well as Mathilda and Clive for the same reason. 

    If they did take inspiration from elsewhere, perhaps Sumia from Awakening, Louise and Pent, Calill and Largo, as well as Marth and Caeda would be good.

    My opinion on Echoes Shadoes of Valentia units

    in Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia

    Posted

    My best units so far (I'm on chapter 4) have definitely been: Mathilda - she basically just slaughters everyone, Genny - best  and strongest Saint, Sonya, Saint Faye, Clair, Atlas (he's killing as a bow knight and he has so much speed he pretty much doubles anyone in my game), Forsyth - just a solid tank, and Mae

    Pretty much everyone else is good or average, the only ones which have been weak for me are: Python (a shame), Bow Knight Tobin (too slow and fragile), Nomah and Catria (she honestly just hasn't been doing much good for me and pretty much never crits even though she has the lucky ring- think I just got RNGscrewed a bit.)

    Favorite Battle Quotes

    in Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia

    Posted · Edited by Hoshidokoala

    Yeah I love Forsyth's victory quote, I also like:

    Clair- "I know, I'm simply terrible!" (Victory)

    Silque- "Repent now!" (Crit)

    Mae - "Sure, I'm still hyper. Let's go!" (Selection, half-health)

    Just to name a few

    Edit: I remembered a few more that I liked

    Gray- "Lady luck smiles upon me. Thanks, Lady!" (Level with luck (I think))

    Atlas- "Go big or go home, kids!" (Victory)

    Jesse- "Tie a bow on that one!" (Victory)

    Jesse- "Wait for me in hell, buddy! (Victory)

     

    Favorite and Least Favorite Characters So Far

    in Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia

    Posted

    I honestly have no characters that I dislike in this game, all have their own quirks and don't just have weird ones being the base of their whole personality, like in Fates.

    anyways my favourites:

    Leon: He is a great character, I love his hint of arrogance and he is a really decent unit in Celica's party. I also love the fact that he also just happens to be gay, and that it adds depth to his character and is not the only thing about his personality.

    Mathilda: I love her dialogue, she is war god on the battlefield, and is better than Clive in every way. Definitely one of my favourites.

    Forsyth: I was always intrigued by his design (as we never got a full portrait of him) and once I started using him I fell in love with his character, being so driven and silly too ("I'm a Forsyth to be reckoned with") but also having one of my favourite supports in the game (his B support with Python just cracks me up). He is essentially a better Lukas for me.

    Genny: surprisingly strong for me and has been the backbone of Celica's team. She seems adorable but is so shy too. I want to protect.

    Gray: Hands down best character writing for any Fire emblem character imo - pretty much everything he says makes me smile or laugh, and he is great on the battlefield too.

    Mae: Again, she is like a female Gray, hilarious and her relationships with Boey and Celica are really sweet and funny. Good fighter too

    Jesse: From what I've seen, he seems like a charming but really kind-hearted guy (I haven't got him yet) - his personality seems (oddly) the sweetest of all the Echoes characters and is almost always genuinely happy.

    My not-as-favourite characters: 

    Faye: Battle-wise, she is probably the best healer in the game, but her personality, as everyone else has said, just is creepy and boring. It is a shame 

    Kliff: He just comes across as quite stuck-up, cold and rude. Other than that he hasn't got much going on for him, in my opinion

    Clive: He's a very mediocre unit and he is yet another one-note character.

    i don't dislike these characters, I just don't really do much for me

    They have the portraits and status screen artwork up on Spriter's Resource, but no emotions, unforunately.

    I've uploaded them all on my Tumblr, though when I started uploading them all, I forgot that having a tag just for them all would've been useful.

    I believe there's an archive feature on Tumblr, but I only use the mobile app so I'm not sure how good it would be to find the posts in particular.

    Thank you both!

    FE: SoV - Studio 8-4's Translation Nit-picks (Open Discussion)

    Everybody talks like they're from a Joss Whedon production, unfortunately (tons of snark to go around). And judging the stuff I've from the main game, I'd say they went a bit far in making things sound funny. I think Fates' localization is a good deal better than Awakenings and when all's said and done I have a feeling SoV's will end up falling a bit short.

    I have to disagree with you here I'm afraid, I think that the localisation shown here is a lot better than in Fates, in my opinion, and is probably equal to Awakening - I particularly like the way they've managed to stay pretty truthful to the Japanese translation but also been liberal enough to have phrased everything to make smooth sense for an English speaker.

    My only little nitpick is how a lot of the supports had the same structure in them:

    C - one says hi, the other is rude and they fall out

    B - continuing to fall out

    A - rude character apologises and they make up

    I kinda wished that they might add a bit more variety with these supports, although I loved the acting and the delivery of each and every line (well, maybe not Deen's). 

    Also, a few more supports would have been nice for some characters who sorely need them, I.e. Lukas, Genny, Silque, and Saber in particular.

    all in all, this game looks (and sounds) great, and I can't wait for my copy to come this Friday!

     Soldier Over-Class = Spartan
     Pegasus Over-Class = Mach (Like the speed of sound)
     Female Mage Over-Class = Morgana (le Fay from Arthurian legend)
     Cleric Over-Class = Titania (Queen of Faeries)

    Defence of Zofia Castle (Clive Icon) Talk: Clive and Forsyth, Talk: Clive and Python, Clive's Spear and Lukas's Shield (once, if all survive)

    sorry if there's any mistakes

     

    Tbf I like a lot of the class designs, Geirölul, Titania, Solomon, and particularly Morgan's and Medb, all look pretty cool - I can't actually properly see the designs of the Spartan, Yaksha or Overlord, but Mach is the only design I'm not too fussed on

    And tbh the whole historical/folklore/literary name for each class is not too bad, although Overlord can get in the bin

    so much disappointment

    i legit wanted an elephant

    elephant mounts for FE16 please

    I was just awaiting having Python on a massive elephant, charging into the enemy and squashing all of them - come on IS

    Favorite characters for each class?

    in Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia

    Villager - Tobin

    Soldier - Lukas - one of the best character designs in the series (along with Mathilda, Silque, Clair and Palla)

    Cleric - Silque - such a nice design

    Cavalier - Mathilda. Ass-kicking Goddess

    Pegasus Knight - Clair, with Palla as a very close second. Stunning redesigns

    Mages - Mae and Boey

    Mercenaries - Kamui, I like all three a lot though

    Archers - Python. Words cannot describe how cool he looks, particularly for an archer!

    Overall, I think Hidari has done an absolutely amazing job on these units, easily the best character artist for a fire emblem game (sorry, I mostly judged these on aesthetic, due to not playing Gaiden)
