i perfectly know that, but i don't think it's a good reason to keep non-launch units as 5*-only Nephenee made sense when she was released to be 5*-only since she introduced Wrath, but now we have Astram, so why keeping Nephenee as 5*-only, and """fixing""" this problem by completely removing her from New Heroes and Special Heroes banners? also, can we really say that adding new heroes from underrepresented games is ok, when the majority of them will stay as 5*-only units? excluding Legendary and Special alts, Genealogy has only 21 characters, 12 of which are 5*-only, 4 are TT/GHB rewards, and 5 are 3/4* also, were they to make a "Lex, Azel, Fury, Midir" banner, for example, 3 of them would be 5*-only units, while the demote would be screwed skills-wise again, there are more examples, not gonna list them all "but that's just the way it is" ok but it doesn't mean that they can't do anything about it there are more things i could say, but i think i've made my point clear

what i mostly care about in FEH is game representation, so whenever a New Heroes Banner with 100% new characters pops up, that alone is enough to make me happy my main complaint is that many characters (if not almost all of them) from PoR, Genealogy, Echoes and more are only available as 5* units, while many Awakening, Fates, Blazing, Binding and Mystery characters are available at 4/3/2/1*: i know, 5* units will never be demoted, but i see zero reasons why Mist should be locked at 5*, while, Sakura, Lucius, Serra, Maria and other shouldn't, that's just unfair, even more so considering that she has nothing on them

say'ri on my free pull this is great, now i don't have to waste feathers and skills on gangrel to score decently during this arena season

after today's story chapter, i already expect to see Plumeria and/or Freja winning CYL5

as i'vs already said in similar threads, i wouldn't tell him anything, it's much more fun to find out things on your own

my desire to summon Heroes OCs is under Absolute Zero, so as far as i'm concerned they should be mere NPCs and not be made summonable; i like Loki, but she's the exception, not the rule more realistically, i wish IntSys's way to handle OCs was to feature them in dedicated banners, which would be added to the regular banner schedule, so basically making more banners every year: since OCs are most likely already prepared (their artworks at least) by the end of the book prior to their debut, and are recycled for the whole duration of their book (and usually more), it would make sense to simply make more banners , it would probably take less resources than regular banners and no one would complain about "stolen spots" in new heroes banners nor anything like that

so, scraping the bottom of the barrel, huh IntSys? this banner is not Adrift-level for me, since these are all new units (aside from anna), but it's really close, i'm not even remotely interested in any of them kinda wish vaike was in the banner instead of mustafa

definitely xenoblade, it's simply amazing

ouch, my french is veeeeeery rusty, but i might try to watch your video later

-When Ike won CYL1 -Whenever a new Genealogy banner happens (the one with Ishtar and the one with Levin in particular, i remember i almost cried just thinking that i could've ended up not finding anyone from those banners; i eventually cried, but only after i found 2 Ishtars, 2 Lenes and 1 Ares in the first banner, and 2 Levins and 1 Quan in the second) - When i made my Brave Ike and Reyson +10 +10 - When Yune and Altina got announced Future Memorable moments: -Rhea's and Makalov's announcements Makalov winning CYL5

yeah that's true, i also specified that it was much more likely that they had Ike's release already planned even before the game's launch, and he also just happened to win CYL1

well that's just a feeling of mine since PoR Ike won the 1st place on the male division during CYL1 and got added before his Brave version, i started to think that, should another hero not yet present in Heroes get 1st or 2nd place in a CYL, IntSys would want to release that hero's original version first it's much more likely that IntSys didn't expect Ike to score so high and just planned his release before the game's launch, to be honest i know, it doesn't make much sense, that's why i said "i think"

yeah i'm not expecting Sigurd nor Seliph i agree with Red Bow Flier Claude, i think they want to release the House Leaders' timeskip versions as legendary heroes before they appear in the CYL banner if it ends up not being Claude... well nice Edelgard bias you got there IntSys although i doubt it would shock anyone

i suggest Tio x Lysithea this way our favorite white-head missy might actually learn a thing or two from someone with a similar background but who isn't such an annoying brat, and is also just as good a magic nuke as she is anyway, i think it would be really nice if you could allow non-3H FE characters to participate but hey, your thread, your rules

just like cantors, i don't find them so annoying, also they're squishy enough to be taken out with 2 hits at most, so no worries for me

an example i always like to show whenever i'm asked this question is NieR:Automata honestly, that game's story is as dumb as you can get: it makes sense, but it looks like it came directly from a B movie of the '80s what makes it so powerful and "good", is its writing, how the characters who move the story (and not only them) interact with each other, with the world they're forced to live in and with the situation they must overcome and change for the better (from their point of view, at least) of course, a story should also be coherent with what it's trying to be, and with the message it's trying to convey, and Automata's story nails these 2 objectives perfectly so, taking all the things i've said a story requires to be "good" (for me), let's name THE most important requirement: a story should be engaging, and should make the consumer eager to continue and see what happens next, and damn if Automata's story is engaging if you can't make a story engaging, everything else your product contains is most likely to be wasted again, this is my personal take on this topic, feel free to disagree

wow, they finally added Mila, about damn time i honestly really like her artworks, although i agree that they look strange anyway i would've definitely tried to summon her... if this was 2018/early 2019, now basically the only thing that keeps me playing is hoping that Rhea will be added soon (yeah that's not gonna happen, i know, Legendary Dimitri and Claude apparently have priority over her) also i don't give a damn about AR, so she'd be of very little use to me what i find interesting, though, is that this is the second Colorless mythic hero in a row, this might be important to keep in mind for future predictions also Colorless is amazing, but i'll save orbs for that early june-new heroes banner

not particularly interested, i don't intend to change my Pyra avatar anytime soon

great purchase! incidentally, i also bought a physical copy of Mystery in the last months, along with the Official Guidebook, for a total of 40€ (around 44$) they both were in very good conditions, and the guidebook is really lovely, it contains hand drawings for every map, with arrows suggesting the best moves and everything you might need (i have no intention of reading it before i have finished the game) there's also a really cool list of all the weapons contained in the game in the guidebook's last pages one day i'll actually play Mystery, i just have to find some free time anyway, have fun!

Premise: all the units i'll be naming are +10 with their appropriate Duel skills (except for the Bonus unit of course) my Arena team has been "BIke-Paula-Marth-Bonus unit" since at least 2 years i've used Soren for quite some time as a Chill bot, but later on my tastes changed and i went for Tactic bots: Marth has Spd Tactic in C, Res Tactic as Sacred Seal and Rally Atk/Def+ as Assist, for a total of +6 to all stats (+8 with Falchion's refine)) Paula's main purpose is to take on strong and tanky green enemy units such as Surtr, but she also grants support with Distant Guard 3 (Sacred Seal), Chill Def 3 and Drive Spd 3 (also i love her artwork) BIke is my beloved beast, as he can take basically everyone (yes, even a +10 Lysithea wouldn't oneround him), and his main purpose is to tank BLyn, LLeif, LChrom and basically any other cancerous ranged units the enemy team has at its disposal; he also has Close Guard 3 as Sacred Seal to support the Bonus unit my latest addition to my Arena team is Reyson, who's a substitute Tactic bot for when the Bonus unit is an Infantry unit: he trades Sing for Rally Def/Res+ (Atk Tactic and Spd Tactic in C and Sacred Seal, my playstile doesn't require any refresher anyway), and he provides an extremely useful passive healing support for the whole team thanks to his weapon, but he obviously doesn't fight my favorite playstile in Arena is to place the Bonus unit on a defensive tile (if present) and let him/her solo the whole enemy team thanks to all the active and passive buffs (or at least one unit in order to get the +12 points bonus, and then deal with the other enemies depending on who they are) i usually try to stay in Tier 21/20/19, but this requires me to build/summon a new unit every 2/3 week, since i have ZERO interest in building sharena, alfonse or anna

Black Knight, no doubt

iirc ike actually visits his comrades' tents whenever he has the time, he says this during an info/support conversation (can't remember) during PoR's second part but yeah, i don't think he does so to give lost items back, that would be dumb of him

the only thing i feel you should know, just like for every other game, is that you should have fun, anything else beyond that is irrelevant if you don't, there's no need to force yourself to finish it as for the game itself, it's pretty easy and you can save at the beginning of every turn, just enjoy building your characters the way you want and you probably won't regret it; also, if you make some mistakes and don't play "optimally", that's perfectly fine

finally reached 40 summons on the fallen heroes banner thanks to this TT's orbs, and now my ike is +1 also hinata provided me some juicy 40 infantry dragonflowers and 300 feathers, which is still more than i gave him credit for

so can intsys start making more genealogy banners and alts now? on a serious note, i'd like to know what kind of demographics took part in this survey, and how big it was Echoes is a really faithful and sober remake, so i'm pretty confident they know what they would have to do in order to make a good genealogy remake at the very least, i'm pretty sure they wouldn't be stupid enough to add an avatar
