[Chapter 5 Cutscene + 15 Minutes gameplay footage in English]

Hinoka's voice sounds a bit boyish, or gruff, kind of? Not sure on the word I want. It's pretty pronounced in the English trailer, when she's fighting. I like the rest. Interesting that Hoshido weapons, at least, are Brass instead of Bronze.

Urgh, tell me about it. My last experience with the Deck of Salt Inducement involved losing 4 points of intelligence (as a Wizard T.T), being forced to draw another card and having all my magic items disintegrated (at level 17). I may or may not have set the cards we were using on fire after we were done.

To me, it just seems that people were expecting something more along the lines of his Japanese voice, especially in terms of pitch. Don't get me wrong, liking the Japanese voices better is a perfectly valid preference, but most of the complaints I've seen have been "it's not as deep as the Japanese VA".

Almost every time I've played a tabletop game I end up killing myself. Last time my gunslinger tried to show off and accidentally blew his own brains out.

[Regrets you've had regarding Fates]

I'm a bit annoyed by the costs. $130 for the SE, plus the costs for at least 4 amiibos, depending on whether Roy and Corrin get anything (probably not), and any DLC. It's getting ridiculous. I just want to pay $40-$60 and play my game.

[Optimal Pairings Ommiting Children]

I've heard good things about Charlotte x Marx and Odin x Elise.

[What would your personal skill be?]

Bravado: +5 attack when at full health, -2 to all stats when not at full. Really, it's all about that false confidence until something goes wrong.

[I just think the dark mages should be more covered?]

Really, I just think women in general should be covered up more. None of these characters are choosing to be dressed this way. They don't have any agency. Men designed them to dress slutty.

[If you could changed the Characters, how would you change them?]

Rinkah has abs.

She merely uses other methods to enhance their looks to be ore intimidating.

It's like when people oil up before a shoot. Still have abs, the application merely makes them stand out more.

I've seen her growths. She drew those abs on with a marker.

[*Spoilers* I can't be the only one that's miffed that there's no Ryoma x Crimson *Spoilers*]

Would be nice if Crimson and Flora got a few extra supports each. Then Mamui can marry a first-genner without killing Dia a kid.

[If you could changed the Characters, how would you change them?]

Give Hinata some running shoes, Rinkah gets real abs, and Camilla gets sexier armor just to spite people.

[Likes & Dislikes about Fates? !!SPOILERS!!]

Like:

-music

-better online play

-less broken MU

-fanservice

-accessories

-double weapon triangle

-lancer

-more varied objectives

-wincest

-battle animations seem less weird than Awakening's (some of its "killing attack" animations were especially bad)

Dislike:

-Less MU builds

-Hinoka's English voice is terrible

-too many Kamuisexuals

-Rinka's fake abs

-children were pretty obviously shoehorned in

-seems like most of the characters are auto-recruited, very little enemy recruitment

-IK balance seems pretty bad, looking at when characters join and their bases

-Only one dark tome

-can't gay it up with Foleo (no homo)

-some of the new weapon designs

-non-unique weapon icons

-Anna as DLC

-Dia/Deere

[Characters You Could Care Less About]

Matoi, mostly. I'm just not into netorare.

[Our FE:Fates Christmas Wishlist!]

More supports for some of the kamuisexuals would be nice. That's really it.
