Oh really? If that's the case I respect the quote a lot more.

Finished adding all the new friend codes. Mine: 0147-2706-4393. Hope you guys are enjoying the game. I'm in the same boat as zelgius,have to wait till tomorrow to play.

"What was your exit strategy!" What the heck does "only flesh" mean?

This one has a couple lines. I don't think the voice acting is bad, its just way too quite in battle.

This what you wanted?

That is honestly a great idea. Xenoblade chronicles x had a great story in my opinion (probably the best I've seen but I haven't seen many games with a substantial story.) The avatar was implemented well enough into the story but was not the center of attention, the side you fought on had a dark past,so it wasn't completely black and white and the villains weren't evil for no good reason. FE could really benefit by using concepts like this.In terms of artist, probably the RD one if I had to pick. I think I would prefer someone new though.

"You went and got me mad!" Scarlet has some great quotes with great delivery.

"Service with a smile!" Thought it was the best delivered line.

2 days left,well 3 for me cause of Amazon but regardless, get hype!

That was glorious. My favourite part.

"(Laughs maniacally) " OK, who doesn't love that laugh?

THIS. Just how Felicia's VA nailed her character, you've nailed my thoughts exactly. Felicia honestly has one of the best voices in the game and it is tremendous step up from the Japanese version of her. Many of the English voices are good in Fates, I think the only one I don't like is Hinoka's.

"This is the last thing you'll see!" For being so nonchalant about it.

This is funny af but, goddamit why. Leo has been disgraced.

Yeah I'm pretty sure she says that. "Ah, thrilling!" Has excellent delivery so that's my pick. "Cry out in pain!" Is another great one.

I didn't think the Corrin speech was that bad, in fact I quite liked it...the JPN version at least. He's a lot calmer in this version and I get the feeling that at this point his naivety is starting to disappear. Like a flip has finally been switched. The Eng version I can't take seriously. There's just too much aggression for my liking. Its clear that he feels very strongly about this and has for a long time, but his inaction earlier on in the story just makes him look like a coward. I guess what I'm trying to get at is JPN corrin is finally mentally prepared to take out Hans and Iago, it shows slight character development which is appreciated. Eng corrin was always prepared but was too much of a bitch to do anything.

I don't get the joke on the right panel.

"You're nobody!" Charlotte easily has some of the most savage crit quotes in the game and I love them all. The delivery on every line is great.

I now understand why Azuresen and Quintessence are for avatar removal. Creating an avatar that is important, but not so important that they steal the show could be a tricky thing to do and may lead to more botched ideas leading to more awful stories. It can be done but IS are going to need to step up their game. Personality selection is a good idea and a step in the right direction,but that will probably be a lot of work to pull off.

I agree, I can't see IS removing things such as marriage and the avatar. They just attracted too much of a crowd for them to risk removing it. Not necessarily a bad thing cause it means more FE will be sold. Like you said how much spotlight the avatar gets is their main problem. Honestly I don't think the avatar needs that much spotlight. Just make them close to the lord, make them a tactician to reflect the player, make them come up with strategies for the lord and by the end of the game make their ending sound like that they remained close to the lord( similar to silas and corrin). This does make for a rather bland character but maybe other facets of their character gets fleshed out with supports. This is what I would like from an avatar.

Robin only overshadowed chrom in the final portions of the game. Granted robin shouldn't of overshadowed chrom at all, so maybe it was 'decent' start rather than a good one. FE will have replay value as long as the things you mentioned stay intact. Agreed. However, removal of the avatar system will detract from it. Again like I said a customisable unit opens up new strategies to the player and with Fates' marriage seal even the standard characters can be used differently by attaining classes that only can be given through the avatar. This is a major positive of the system. I don't see how it being used to widen FE's niche is a bad thing and warrants it's removal.

I disagree. Avatars can work in FE they just need to be done well. Robins role in awakening, being mainly a side character, was a good start. Removal of the avatar,I feel, would hurt some of the game's replay ability as it removes a total customisable unit which you can then build tons of strategies around.

Finally done adding all the friend codes that were posted. Here's mine: 0147-2706-4393 Name:Namarid Here's a few questions for you guys. Have you been spoiled or spoiled yourself on the game and if so has this affected what games you're going to buy? In my case I caved after one month of the Japanese release(excluding rev), but nothing affected what I was gonna buy. I then caved again after the NA release and seeing some of the gameplay in rev has me on shaky ground on whether to get it or not.

"You deserve no better!" And "your time is at an end!"
