I don't really mind as long as the only children are the three shown so far. I'd prefer unique characters, but I guess it's not a HUGE deal. So far, we know that the names have similar meanings and their voice actors are the same. As far as I can tell, Odin is the only one with a different class. Personally, I don't think their being there will be addressed in-game, I believe they will be treated as if they just kinda exist in the world.(like everyone else).So, my verdict is....obvious tributes that aren't acknowledged as tributes.

It's always cool to see that there are new members! Welcome to SF.

Welcome to the forest! Being new myself, I've learned that as long as you don't get into "waifu wars" about Awakening, people tend to be pretty chill about your game preferences. I hope you enjoy your time here. :)

I've actually thought of this a few times before. I think it would be a really nice inclusion.

I can see Mikoto's class as monarch,queen, or high priestess.For Garon, possibly dark king?(it's a stretch and I have no idea)I'm betting Mikoto will just be a Queen or something.
Maybe Tyrant for Garon or something.

Wait. Guys. Wouldn't it be cool if the blue maid was the Nohr she-wolf shifter?
-
Yep. He's a Nohrian archer who may have an eyepatch. (Nice Rinka art, btw)There's a character named zero? :o

Honestly, the hot spring quotes are only awkward because of cultural differences. For example, when Tsubaki offers to wash Kamui's back, he is doing it out of brotherhood and respect.(a Japanese tradition.) The face rubbing is pretty odd, but I'll just image that they're talking,reading,etc. with each other instead.

What's all the hubbub about amiibos? I've heard a lot about them and how popular they are. As an avid collector of figurines, do you think that amiiibos would be enjoyable for me to collect?
-
I'm pretty sure it will be taken down a notch in the North American and European versions. Besides its too early to judge all of the "rub quotes" , as we've only seen three.(I hope to god the others are better)I think I'm going to be sick. I actually thought the Player Character hero worship was slightly less offensive in Awakening than it was in New Mystery but it looks like they've ramped it up even moreso in this game.

As far as we know, My Castle is supposed to just be a fun distraction. The story seems solid enough on its own, too.(They've had three years to work on the story, so maybe they felt the need to add extra, optional features for extra appeal) Perhaps there is a way to get boosts other than My Castle.(Maybe My Castle is intended to be used as a crutch for extra resources if you have trouble with the difficulty. At least, I would hope such a lucrative feature would have some at the very least intended basis in balance.)You know the game is going to be balanced around My Castle, Red Fox of Fire. Just like how Awakening was balanced upwards because of Pair Up and the ability to grind. The problem is that some people might want to play a Fire Emblem and not Rune Factory 5: Tactics Edition and will be punished for it in the main game since stats in any amount will give you an edge, especially since IS seems to think tactics means bigger numbers and nothing else.
This is veering into my own opinion and I'm not going to try speaking for anyone else, but my main problem with My Castle is similar to my problems with Awakening's base and menu management: it's neither tactics gameplay nor is it contributing to an interesting narrative. Tactics and story are the first bullet points on my list of reasons I play Fire Emblem. Even when the base got a little bloated in FE9/10, it was still streamlined and focused enough to not feel like filler. Bonus EXP? You get that for doing well and can spend it immediately. Forging? Once per chapter, make something and get back to the main game. Supports? In FE9 they helped flesh out characters which in turn fleshed out the world since the tone was more in line with the main game than PIES PIES PIES. They were also only gathered through playing chapters. Base convos? Similar to supports but more story related and in some cases were almost sidequest-esque, especially in FE10. They knew the base stuff was the boring part that players wanted to skip through to get to the real gameplay. Even if none of the stuff in the FE9/10 bases felt optional, they were quick, well designed, and unobtrusive. Some people want to play Fire Factory 14 and that's perfectly fine, but I don't. To me it's an ever-growing tumor that keeps me from doing interesting things. I've said for years that the best thing about Fire Emblem is its pacing, and Awakening added a ton of filler and If is adding even more.

I think that when these scenes are localized, a lot of dialogue will be heavily modified so these interactions don't come off quite so creepily.The touching itself was enough, but the things Harold and Felicia said were kind of disturbing...(even in the context you presented)Why is this a problem? Kamui is a royal prince/princess who may or may not be an actual god or related to one. Harold there, is a vassal of the royal family of Nohr and would likely say the same thing to Elise if she patted his face. Given how your character is perceived by these characters, its absolutely justified as to why they would react so positively. This is likely why we saw this feature being showcased by vassal characters like Joker and Felicia

People infer tones all the time whether or not it is logical or right. Because this is the internet and not a face to face conversation, people make assumptions in tone and intention that are often incorrect.You cannot look at "tone" or "attitude" and infer all sorts of things I did not say. I was specific in what I argued and what I did not argue.
No. I welcome disagreement -- it's why I spend time writing criticisms in the first place! Many of your posts (and others, it's not personal) simply misunderstood my claims, and it's impossible to have a productive conversation when your interlocutors aren't reading your arguments carefully enough to understand them.
-
Even though you didn't directly say those things, it is the overall tone that your past comments have given off. I agree with you that well structured criticisms can be healthy for a discussion,but I can see how your posts could come off as overly adamant to other users. Even though your criticisms aren't necessarily stated angrily, your copious negativity gives off a whiny vibe.(I see where you are coming from and I don't think face rubbing fits in this series either, but complaining won't accomplish anything)Curious. I don't recall saying either of these things.
I'd like to point out a rather obvious double standard here, one I've pointed out many times before. We are all basing our opinions off early impressions (though, at this point, we have significant information about the game).
If your early impressions are positive? That's fine. No one hounds you or asks for clarification.
If your early impressions are negative? Stop complaining! Play the game first!! Maybe the game will be good despite all the fair criticisms you make!!!
It's aggravating. I am breaking no forum rules and am perfectly entitled to make calm, reasonable, strong criticisms about this game.
I believe this forum features an ignore user option. Feel free to take advantage if negativity upsets you.

Now I ain't sayin' she's a gold digger...
but she aint messin' with no broke soldiers

Super Mario 64. I have some vague memories of playing it with my dad when I was about 3. I can only remember stomping goombahs int the castle courtyard, though.
-
Touché. At least Charlotte seems to have a unique, bloodthirsty edge, so that should be pretty cool.Uh aren't manipulative blonds on the busty side that use men for their ideas of vast wealth kinda a thing. I can remember quite a lot of them, not as many from video games though.
-
Does Charlotte remind anyone else of Madeleine from Dragon's Dogma? (Manipulative, self-serving blonde who uses men to achieve her own goals of vast wealth.Theyre also both on the bustier side.)
-
How entertaining would it be to have Harold and Charlotte get married?
-
Wait. In the direct, we see Felicia using what appears to be a shortsword to melee attack an enemy. Does this mean that maids/butlers can use swords? Maybe it means that throwing knives can be used from 1 rng.the 2 range only sword, at least in chinese, literally means flying knife. See throwing daggers. Prolly a bit bigger, maybe.
-
That seems pretty likely. What if some accessories could give new abilities? Perhaps that jug could have practical application in battle otherwise. ( or maybe I'm way overthinking it and it's just part of the design.The jug on her back is probably one of those accessories you can add to the characters. Like Camilla's jester hat or some such.

I'm 99 percent sure that he is a spellcaster or the spellcaster promotion.http://puu.sh/i7flz/f20beccbc4.pngalso there's this guy; looks like a generic, but I'm not sure what class he exactly is.
-
Honestly, if the characters are like able and well done, I don't see the issue with more interaction with them.(the face rubbing is odd though.(I've seen that people think the hot spring are weird. Eh, cultural differences))Kris has a terrible reputation and Mark is hardly a thing, if course fanfiction is an exception. Also the village in fire emblem if doesn't feel like fire emblem. Going around giving accessories to your soldiers, feeding a pet dragon, petting people's faces, and making new shops,isn't things fire emblem should have. All this village stuff makes fire emblem if feel like it isn't a fire emblem game.

I get where you're coming from, man but why obsess over optional features. I doubt these addition will affect the story in any way.Well, IS told us that there would be no world map in Nohr but if they have this weeaboo world map with face touching then I now know that the fire emblem series has changed for the worse. Now it's just some waifu harem shit where you can stroke waifus and go into the hot springs with them.
