Oh, hey, congratul-I'll see myself out.

I'm not sure where the misunderstanding is coming from... I do understand why her hair is purple. I'm not really taking it at face value because I think this game will function the same as Awakening on that matter; as in, since the fathers bring in many different hair colors for every child, they went with the mother's on the art in most cases, since it never changes. And if anything, Luna, Lazwart and Odin's appearance heavily imply that the artworks really displayed these children's canonical appearance. I'm simply applying that same logic to Shara, and saying that assuming it works the same this time around, she'd have to be an exception to actually, officially have Tharja's hair color.

Wait, I thought this was the entire magazine's length. There are 53 pages about Fire Emblem?

That's pretty much exactly what I meant, yes. You're right, there were exceptions in Awakening, and we don't even know if that's how these children's "official' hair color will work. It's just a thing really. Personally as I said before, I do think it's Tharja for a number of reasons, but we still don't know for sure at the moment, so I think it's a good idea to consider as many factors as possible. I have to say though, if a few days ago, I had to select among the male characters from Hoshido, the most likely dad for a Tharja expy, Tsukuyomi would have been quite low on the list. I've accepted it as the truth for a while by now, and yet I still can't wrap my head around it.

Yes, but as a result of that, their official/artwork hair color would be based on the father, the opposite of Awakening. So Shara's would be brown. This is all a misunderstanding, they actually have a PS3 in the cell, and Orochi's the only one who knows how to put it on. You know, this being an age of no technology and all.

Bolded: Exactly. That is why I, definitely, still don't know which one I'll start with either.

Well, I'd say that's debatable, since most of the children in Awakening had the hair color of the parent they were always tied to in their artwork; in that case, Tsukuyomi's hair doesn't match Tharja's. Plus you've got to wonder how she'd become like that, unless Tsukuyomi abandons her or something of that nature. ... but yeah, I agree it's likely Tharja. Even her japanese name(Sallia) is quite close. Edit: Also, I won't rant, there's no point. But this is clearly getting on my nerves as well.

Yes, that was a bit more direct than I meant it to be. I understand. Thanks for sharing the information:)

Nah. It's just that Robin was changed to Daraen in the french version(in Europe in general apparently, baring UK), and I'm pretty sure they'll do the same thing this time around.

Do you have the scans? This issue is bound to interest a lot of people.

Well better yet, dark mages are Nohr only... Although the ring on her wrist kinda implies that she's a spellcaster.

Well I'll be. That's right. We got quite a few that show a lowered defense stat with it equipped though. Like in the most recent Famitsu issue for example. ... The Dragon Fang skill isn't there on any I can find. A side effect of it perhaps, since from what we know it's mainly a battle skill. Edit: No that can't be right either. In the third treehouse towards the end, the player shows Kamui's stats before healing him: Also, his weapon ranks don't make sense.

That would make both of us idiots, because I don't know either. It gives XP to the supporting unit, that's for sure, but how much is difficult to say. From what we've seen, I'd say a third is a decent bet though. Note that this only happens if that unit actually attacks apparently. If the enemy dies before it doesn't get anything. Take that with a grain of salt, there may be counterexamples. Also not sure we know for guard stance yet.

Attack stance should make levelling any character that can wield a weapon fairly easy. So at least they should have little trouble catching up.

I think you mostly play with either Felicia or Jakob, plus SuzuKaze and Rinkah. Gunther is also there, at least for a while. Maybe Azura's there too. ... and what we saw was chapter 2:p

It was deduced a while ago that it boosted speed and lowered defense and resistance. Considering the dragonstone seems to at least buff defense, maybe making Kamui fairly slow(and thus making any boost to his/her speed significant) was how they tried to make these two weapons each have their own use, since they're both 1-range and have infinite durability. The dragonstone apparently isn't available 100% of the time, but if using it exclusively when it's there is the only real option, there's not much of a point.

I have many, many issues with children returning, but I'll just say, I disagree with the idea that them making this feature completely optional would really change anything. Missing out on completely new characters with their own supports, personal skills and likely more potential than the parents is not an option in my eyes. Not to mention, this means that we're probably not getting many more characters in... the first gen. There's not much of a chance that it won't be a big part of this game.

That got a chuckle out of me. I guess Corrin isn't that much worse than Robin really... plus his official name will be different as far as I'm concerned, not to mention that I'll give him yet another name either way. Sadly it still matters though, since almost every decent Fire Emblem community will call him/her that Corrin is no Hoshidan name though, that's for sure. Considering this and Jakob, I'm starting to feel like quite a few references will be lost in translation. Wonder what they'll name Odin, Lazward and Luna...

Looking at the trailer again, there are shots like this: (if you tell me that's not purple, I'm not sure there's anything to add. And not just the bottom part) ... and ones like this: ... which is closer to dark blue, although I still see purple. It does look a bit inconsistent to me though, but I'm no artist. At this point, I'd like to see a portrait or something. In any case, azure is light blue, so I'm not sure any of that matters. That being said, it is to be noted that the sprite of her (mostly)white robe is light blue. Which is something. But unless she gets a name change along with the robe, I won't think that her color scheme was the main inspiration for that name... just like it was with Aqua, too.

Come on, it's clearly purple, not dark blue. And well, the water she summons without any sky to reflect is blue, at least. Was that watery effect on Renka's site always there, by the way? I just noticed it and it's pretty lovely. ... What? The topic? Oh, right. Hm... SuzuKaze's ninja disappearing act after he defeated that thief was great. Can't wait to see Kagerou do that.

I wasn't speaking from an etymological standpoint. I see it more as another nod to her ties to water, especially since we've seen her in an outfit that isn't blue. Actually for the most part her hair is the only part of her that's blue. But yes I did know that. My issue is that I think it sounds bad, as well as a bit too... I don't know, mystical perhaps. It's obvious enough that Aqua is mysterious, you don't need her name to reflect that as well. ... but mostly I think it sounds bad.

Oh god, Azura? That's even worse... Please be called something else in the french version Well it was Hoshido normal(?), so I guess we're not supposed to expect any difficulty from that. I'm more surprised that they allowed so many units to be deployed. Felt really unnecessary considering the way the map was.

Ah, I see, good to know. And I guess you're right. Plus I'm no mod, so whatever.
