So I'm not really sure where to ask this, but... Can someone either confirm or deconfirm this or link me to a thread where this has already been discussed? Many thanks! Edit: nvm found a thread already, hehe

The one thing I don't understand is why IS feels the need to make every character able to support every character of the opposite sex. Sure, it allows for more customization of pairings for each playthrough, but in a lot of cases, these characters have nothing in common or have no reason whatsoever to interact, and because of that, a lot of these characters' defining traits get milked way more than they should. Take Felicia, for example. Being a clumsy maid is cute and all, but it starts to get annoying when it's the main topic of almost all (over 20!) of her conversations. I can see why Kamui would be able to support with everyone, but not so much for the rest of the cast. IS really should just have limited supports between opposite sexes to around four to six or something, only having characters with similarties or history together being able to support with one another (Kagerou only being able to support with Suzukaze, Kamui, Saizou and Ryouma for example, pretty much no one is planning to pair her up with Tsukuyomi or something from what I've seen so far). I'd rather have a smaller amount of well-written and interesting conversations than a crapload of rushed conversations that all revolve around the exact same topic. Also, less incest in the localization would be appreciated, heheh. Making Mikoto and Shinmei childhood friends / very distantly related instead of being siblings would be a good start.

Really? Welp, I wasn't aware of that. I stand corrected.

I'm not upset about the Awakening reskins, why would you assume that? The point was that I don't think there will be a popularity poll like Awakening's, that's all. The bit about the kids and reincarnations was not meant to be taken seriously anyway.

Don't really see that happening to be honest. The Awakening poll was to decide what characters would get special scenes in the Scramble DLC chapters, and we already have screenshots of all the royal siblings in swimwear for this game's version of Summer Scramble. I could be wrong, but I just don't see it happening. Also,

So the only playable units that don't join / survive the third route are Izana, Yukimura and Crimson (along with the still unknown Anna)?

I love how it is pretty much impossible to not end with at least one incest pairing if you want to pair up as many units as possible. Like, pretty much the entire cast ends up being related to you one way or another. Can't wait to see if and/or how much the localization team will change this. Aqua and Kamui being direct cousins was extremely unnecessary.

Asama confirmed to be Kellam 2.0

Poor Asama. Nobody seems to care about him at all.

It's funny how at the time Rinka and Charlotte were first revealed everyone pretty much fawned over Rinka because of her design while Charlotte was downright hated because of her design, but ever since the game has been released Rinka went from loved to disliked and Charlotte went from hated to loved.

What would make S-supports a lot better in general (and flow better into from C to A) is that the characters in question started dating each other / being together instead of marrying right off the bat. We have unique endings for most of the pairs anyway, and it would make the confessions a bit more sincere and less desperate. Also, do we have any support translations from Asama, like, at all? I feel like he's the only playable character we barely know anything about, and I'm really getting curious as to what his personality is like. ...His character portrait reminds me way too much of Danny Sexbang.

It's best to stay away from the controversy, because it will most likely dehype the game for you more than anything (I know it has for me, at least). While I do think the drugging is a bit sketchy, people are blowing this way out of proportion. The biggest issue is that people are mistaking Kamui's intention for drugging her (not fainting in the middle of the battlefield =/= turning her straight). There's also some complaints about the S-support, but most S-supports are usually rushed anyway, so it's unfair to make that big of a deal of that in this case. ...Like I said, try to stay away from it. I'm pretty sure the localization team will make this topic a lot less controversial, anyway.

That Joker and Felicia battle dialogue though. Why did they decide to make Flora Mamui-sexual again...?

Even though streetpass battles (and other skirmishes in my castle) don't give any experience in the Nohr path, they still raise support between units.

Do we already know if not!Tharja, not!Gaius and not!Cordelia are exact replicas (reincarnations) of their original selves? Gaius would make sense to be the exact same, but what about Cordelia and Tharja? Their biggest character trait in Awakening was that they were obsessed with a certain lord and a very certain tactician, but who are they obsessed with in the world of Fates? Or is that trait removed altogether?

...You might want to have a look at this.

Second that. Can't imagine them ending up with anyone else but each other, hehe. That's the annoying part though. Still deciding on what kid I will have to drop because of that.

Speaking of 3rd route and/or spotpass characters, any new information regarding Draj and Nacht? Are they supposed to be playable, or...?

Not being able to get all kids in all three paths without marrying male Kamui to a Mamui-sexual character or another kid annoys me more than it should. Really hoping that IS will somehow fix this in the future, but I doubt it.

As I said in my very first comment and I'll say it again: it is impossible to obtain all 13 children in either route if you have a male Kamui that marries a female first gen that also has possible S-supports with other male units.

Flora is listed with the other leftover units like Anna and Izana. She has two other reclass options instead of one, just like they do. ''Swapping Aqua for Flora'' exactly proves my point that not all child units can be recruited if Kamui marries a female first gen.

Flora doesn't have supports with anyone beside Kamui. Also, you mentioned Elise twice. ...Also, ''swapping Flora for Aqua'' proves my point, as Flora is not an unit that can support with anyone beside Kamui. I was never wrong to begin with.

If Kamui marries Aqua, that leaves 11 males and 10 females in both routes. Prove me wrong. *Edit: Flora has not yet been proven to have supports with anyone besides Kamui. She's listed with the other 'leftover' units, like Izana and Anna.
