And once again, I join a thread late. Aaaaanyways, even though I'm a diehard Elise fan, props to Team Sakura for closing that gap. Just don't get used to the lead :P

Given the fact that people will riot if they hear Treehouse even touches FE again, I'm willing to bet yes. Whether I think that's a good thing or not is a whole 'nother can of worms, but I'd rather not touch that subject.

Because being considered hot makes you invulnerable to criticism apparently to some people. It's frankly ridiculous when I see people specifically criticize M!Corrin for all the mistakes they made to explain why they dislike him while ignoring the fact that F!Corrin did the exact same things (or saying that she was a victim of circumstance to defend her).

Honestly, at least for me, physical appearance of a character means anything. And it can go the other way too, don't guys also sometimes have a tendency to like guy characters a little more because they're guys and vice versa for girls? Granted, this kind of bias is more common in youth while the bias you mentioned is more common in older people. Either way, there is a reason for bias towards both genders for guys and girls respectively.

I'm still shocked by the concept that a character's gender should even impact their likability. Like, at all.

I DO agree with this, but is it bad I'm scared for the game that happens. Not because there will be those fans that riot over this, but I still lack faith in IS writing capabilities. Knowing them, they might resort to every single negative trope possible for a female protag and make her just as hated as Corrin.

Yeah, Julia is winning, and we didn't overshoot and give Tharja the bonus! Why does everything exciting happen when I have to stop playing. TBH, we're going to lose the lead rather quickly, but it's good that we might have to force Tharja to burn some flags to take back the lead. Also throwing in more support for a Julia v Robin battle. Not only do they represent Naga v Grima, are mirrored on the banner, they both have white-ish hair! Everything about that battle screams style. Also I would gladly be curbstomped by Robin than see Robin get curbstomped by his stalker.

Hey, don't ruin the dream man. I can hope. Just like how I hoped Ephraim could beat Lucina Also have you not experienced the glory of staffs? Staffs are love, staffs are life. Also nice pun.

To be honest, I think a majority of us prefer Robin winning over Tharja winning. At least, I do, so I wouldn't mind, I just want Julia to beat Tharja and go to the finals. Kind of like how during Chrom v Ephraim, most of the people on team Ephraim didn't care about winning finals and just wanted to beat Chrom. Also thank god that one Japanese friend I have has a Ninian out. Dancing made so many difficult matches a cakewalk, makes me so excited for the day when my Olivia is finally trained up.

Yeah that would probably be better TBH... I'm just really anxious. I've sided against the "guaranteed winner" all three times and I just really want to beat them one time. Hopefully we don't overdo it like last time

Alright then, I might just continue to stick with Catira then. Also with that Julia v Tharja gap continuing to grow, I actually might start spending my flags. :/

Kind of sad Lando won't get any dual-wielding stuff (unless his special skill somehow involves it?) but these look great! Out of all the DLC, I'll definitely be getting these. Seriously, new characters with special artwork and skills to boot, it'd be a waste to turn these down!

Should probably actually participate in this thread considering how long I've been lurking. I'm actually impressed, Julia's been doing pretty well keeping up and making sure no one gets the multiplier. Better stay this way, I'm hoping for a last second multiplier to overwhelm Tharja. I might not be able to spend all of them, but I have 1400 flags stored and more on the way to burn in the name of the Empress of Grannvale! Also to anyone on Team Julia, who should I have as my rep? I currently have a 5* +SPD/-HP Catria out with Threaten Def 3, Rally Attack, and +1 SPD seal and I've kept her on throughout the entire first round, but I have these to offer too: 5* +DEF/-SPD Julia - Base with Bowbreaker 3 and Iceberg instead of Dragon Fang w/ +1 ATK seal 4*+1 +SPD/-RES Cecilia - Gronnblade+, Draw Back, Dragon Gaze, Fury 2, Escape Route 3, Ward Cavalry 5* +ATK/-RES Reinhardt - Base except with New Moon instead of ____ Thunder I don't have a lot of SP, okay? Friend ID is 0453367742 and the name is Anys in case anyone wants to add me.

Thanks for the tips! I don't really have anyone with those abilities so far (at least without some serious investment) so I'll make do with what I have until that moment comes. It frankly depresses me how Cordelia outclasses seemingly all Blue Fliers. Makes me dislike her even more :P

So, I really want to use Catria but I need to rework her skillset. She's +SPD/-HP and my current set is her default at 5* alongside Threaten Defense and Rally Attack. I was thinking of giving of replacing Armored Blow with Fury, Seal Defense with Desperation, and her Killer Lance with a Brave Lance, is this a good idea?

A Sacred Stones theme would make me cry because I frikin' love Sacred Stones...and also because I have no orbs. I'm still doubtful that Tellius (or at least Ike) is going to show up unless they confirm next update brings in a bunch of new story stuff, and even then, I would expect Tellius/Ike to share the spotlight with Valentia which is pretty much confirmed for this update or the next one considering it's 10 days until release in Japan. Don't want to miss out on that free advertising. Also am I the only the only one who wants Natasha. Please tell me no,

Okay, thanks for the responses, I was just curious as to the relatively higher placings of Jeorge among other archers in almost every tierlist I've seen so far, even post-inheritance. I've been using Klein for a while now, but his -ATK bane is really starting to affect the arena, and I was wondering if replacing him with someone else like Jeorge temporarily until I get a better IV set or permanently. I guess I might try raising that spare Setsuna instead though, as it sounds like she could take Klein's/Gordin's niche and amplify it to 11 by actually being able to double. Then again I'm also lazy and not into uber-competitive/min-maxing stuff, so we'll see!

So I've seen a lot of sources say that Jeorge is one of the best archers, but can someone explain to me how? I'm not sure if I want to incorporate him in my arena team or not, but I want to get a better idea of what is niche is.

Siding with Beruka because she's the only one from a game that I played and a character that I actually like. But she's going to inevitably die in the first round, isn't she? I'm going to use Beruka first round to maximize points, then I'll just play the safe route and stick in Klein as my rep for any future rounds (Probably going to side with Minerva if she survives, and if not... Palla?).

Basically Cordelia all over again. I'm just praying that there's more to Faye's character that helps at least seem a little appealing. Even Cordelia has the whole deal with perfectionism and how very few people notice how much she actually struggles to be how she is now, brushing it off as natural talent. Faye? Faye just seems to be running the "cuuute~" thing, which frankly makes me want to punch her.

Wow, congratulations! Best wishes to both of you!

Hype levels have gone through the roof once again! Also there was a small scene where Alm grabbed his left hand while fighting Berkut... guessing that's where

Maid Flora. Have fun using the character you recruit latest in the game! At least she can be a staffbot.

Popped in to say GameXplain has a discussion video with Nintendaan about his hands-on time with Gaiden. Don't know if there's anything significant or new in it though. Also I don't know how to link things so you're gonna have to find it yourself.

Don't worry, apparently the game makes fun of it too:
