Hoshidokoala

Does anyone have a picture of the female lancer? I havent seen her sprite at all

Yes! That's the idea I had! and Sakura would be slightly different

I could just imagine that if (and I highly doubt it would happen) the imoutos are killed, they could perhaps be killed not by Kamui but accidentally by a rogue arrow perhaps. Kamui then rushes over and holds them in his/her hands while they are dying and they say something along the lines of "I forgive you, brother, and I have always loved you" before they die, with Kamui crying, tears streaming down his face, the other siblings of your path just look down in sadness. Then perhaps the other sister could help them do something like create a meadow or plant flowers around their grave that Kamui makes there, and they then move on. Again I would like to stress that it will be ridiculously unlikely that the imoutos will have to be killed but I could personally imagine that happening and it would have so much feels.

I'm so happy with Kozaki's artwork for if as for me, characters are one of the most, if not the most important thing for me in games, and I think that every last one of the characters look so unique and have diverse personalities (obviously the exception bein Luna, who is still interesting as I enjoyed Severa's character in Awakening). My favourites so far are Nikishi and Sakura and I hope even more characters with great artworks and personalities are revealed in these next few weeks. :)

That is most probably on the other side of her abdomen as well its just that its covered up by her hand and tome. Kozaki wouldn't make a mistake like that.

Thanks a lot! It seems that Nishiki is a shape-shifting Kitsune then. Hoshido just got even more epic :)

They might even include another Kitsune - perhaps a female one? Idk i'm just guessing atm but I hope so. Plus, they could possibly use Spiritstones? Again just another speculation.

Only one i know of is the she-wolf who raised Romulus and Remus but she had no known name

Except this time he's called String and is a hare -_-

It might even be a bear, but I feel like wolf is a likely option - it's a shame though as wolves have already been seen in games like PoR and RD

As it was found today, Hoshido can recruit a Kitsune called Nishiki, who can (most likely) shapeshift into a fox, a staple spirit in Japanese folklore. By laws of equality, this means that Nohr should be due a shapeshifting class as well. Since I enjoyed using both the Manaketes and Taguels in Awakening, mainly due to the fact that they are an original feature in the Fire Emblem games, I am intrigued by what they would be in FE: If. I even guessed a Kitsune for Hoshido when I was thinking about it, however, I was stumped for what Nohr's could be, although my main ideas were either a Wolf or a Deer. What does everyone think the Nohr shapeshifter should be?

I would imagine that he is a Kitsune/Yokou (same thing) that could perhaps transform using something like a Spiritstone maybe?

Perhaps the Nohr could be a centaur - not a complete shapeshifter but it would be interesting perhaps

OMG yes! Hoshido would be infinitely better!

Omg I predicted some sort of Kitsune (magic fox) shapeshifter for Hoshido so am really happy about this! Btw his class is a Kitsune - meaning spirit fox

I could be wrong though because when I first saw Rinka's sprite, I thought it was some middle aged fighter guy with bull horns and a white mustache. So in this case, it could be just a crazy spiky woman hairstyle, but I'm not sure.

Is it just me or does Asama's sprite look male? Even though Asama appears to be holding the same baton as Sakura's sprite holds, with the hair and everything, I feel like he looks more male. Perhaps a male version of a priestess?

I would imagine that perhaps she is introduced as a playable character in a DLC spotpass map after the completion of the main story, much like Emmeryn was. It could potentially make more sense than either not having her playable at all or as a playable character during the story.

Please be new characters!

I really hope that there are fe14 amiibo exclusives rather than robin and marth (etc). Because the first wave could be both royal families + Kamui and Aqua. Also there could possibly be more details on how the other clans fit into the story and perhaps even a few characters revealed in them or just in general. I would love another trailer but i think it is too unlikely to happen :(

I'm sorry, I didn't make it clear. I meant that Kamui in general is the exception to this pattern as he has more than two subordinates with him instead, I will fix it to make it clearer

Sorry I didn't make that clear, I meant that Kamui in general is the exception as he has three people serving, not 2.

I personally am most interested about the Blue Cavalier, the Nohr Archer, Nyx and the Nohr Thief.

After the new characters seen in Famitsu this week, many new characters were released, including two subordinates for both Takumi and Elise. This also seems common with both Ryoma and Sakura as well. There also seems to be a common factor of one guard being Male, the other Female. Do you think that this will be the case with all the Royal family members from both sides? If so, who would you like it to be for each one? This is them so far: Hoshido: Ryoma - Saizou and Kagerou Hinoka - ??? Takumi - Hinata and Oboro Sakura - Tsubaki and Kazahana ( guessed from April direct) Kamui (the exception) - Felicia, Joker and Gunther Nohr: Marx - ??? Camilla - ??? Leon - ??? Elise -Harold and Elfie I personally think that Orochi is Hinoka's female guard because she was seen in a scene with Saizou, explaining how Takumi and Ryoma are having trouble at the borders (even though Hinoka wasn't mentioned) as Hinoka wasn't present as playable at that scene and Orochi was with Ryoma's subordinate Saizou. Anyways, any thoughts on this?

I really hope (and it probably won't happen) to see other characters such as manaketes and also more mages and wyvern knights, etc. Also I would like to see another Priestess who is friends with Sakura (like a Lissa/Maribelle relationship in Awakening, just a nice character instead).
