    Ah, okay, so they were shown, but very late. Thanks for correcting me. Still, they're probably not going to be advertised unless they're central to the plot, which they most likely won't be. 

    Also when the Choose your Path trailer came out, we saw Corrin transforming into a dragon. The thing is, it was never a doubt there would be beast units in Fates, yet this trailer was five minutes long and there was not even a hint of them. Not to say that means there won't be any, but it's enough to make me worried.

    I also don't think they will be important to the plot, in case they really make an appearance.

  2.  

    Gryffindor

    PROS: 

    -Edelgard.

    -I like that it's an empire.

    -Gaunlets.

    CONS: 

    -No Dumbledore.

    -I have issues with the color red, kind of like a trauma thanks to my country's government, so I don't like it.

    -Don't care much for the character designs on this one.

    Ravenclaw

    PROS:

    -I like the character designs of Mercedes, Ashe and Sylvain.

    -Italian food is my favorite.

    CONS:

    -It's a kindgom, there's nothing new or interesting about that in itself. And worse, a holy kingdom.

    Hufflepuff

    PROS:

    -I'm very interested in this 'Alliance' they have ruling that country.

    -No sparkly vampires.

    CONS:

    -I didn't care for the character designs of this group either.

  3. It's true beast units tend to get either little background or a downright bad one, but when I say they're my favorite I don't mean story-wise, I mean as units in battle, gameplay-wise. So, regardless of how they appear in this game, if they do, I want them as units in my army that I can use in my strategies :>_<:. I don't actually care if they're important to the plot or not, just  that they are part of the gameplay.

    As a person who hates reclassing (i love identity in characters and reclassing throws it out the window) i wont be using that feature unless its a must in the game.

    This is me. I don't reclass unless I really think a character needs a certain skill, and after obtaining it I go back, but reclassing in general bothers me on a strangely high level.

    I'm also glad we won't be students... But I don't want to be a teacher either, I hate teaching hahaha.

    Beast units are also my favorite so I really hope they get included into the game but so far it doesn’t seem promising. Well, there was that “black beast” that was shown in the trailer but I doubt that was signs of beaststone users being a thing.

    As for dragons, I feel like we might get the loli as a dragon unit in the game but that’s it. And even then, I wouldn’t be surprised if there was none aside from some enemy specific dragons.

    Anyway, I voted for “Nooo” just because I hope it actually ends up including beast units even though I really feel the correct choice is “Yesss”

    I guess there's a high chance we get the loli dragon, who's very cute, but if that's it..... :(:

    Let's really hope it's a 'Nooo' :>_<:

    Apparently no one else got the JelloApocalypse reference. First!

    To be honest, the only "beast" units I like are manaketes. Personal bias, but to each his own, I guess.

    -gives him chocolate chip cookies made with tons of love- :lol:❤️

    That's okay! But yes, they really are my favorite, so I'm very worried.

  6. Whoever gets that stinkstone reference gets a chocolate chip cookie made with love ❤️

    So I'm actually nervous. The trailer was 5 minutes long, showed battles and characters and lots of stuff, but no manakete or any other beast. And I didn't see anything of the sort when they showed that board of skill types.

    Beast units are my favoriiite :>_<: 

    What do you think?

    Between this and some of the stuff in Heroes I'm wondering if IS just kind of ignores their female audience to an extent. Not all the time but like we are of a lower priority. It's just my pessimistic nature though.

    Actually, I think that a lot too. Like for example, the fact they didn't bother to show F!Byleth in any of the scenes in the trailer when they could have done so without issue, the fact Kiran in FEH is obviously male (like why even bother pretending he's not), or things like how in Fates the Grandmaster class is male-only, which gives reason to the people who like saying F!Robin isn't canon. And not just that, I constantly find myself feeling out of place with IntSys, like they don't actually want or care about the female audience.

  8. 10 minutes ago, YingofDarkness said:

    My biggest issue with her is just how different she looks from M!Byleth and her actual model. Her proportions look off, and it bothers me just looking at her. Her head is too small for her massive breasts which are in turn to big for her waist as well. Her eyes also look lifeless although that might just be the art style. She just looks like she was meant to be the sexy teacher whereas M!Byleth was meant to be taken as the serious and regal teacher you'd actually expect at a school like this one...

    You are right :c they look completely different, give off very distinct vibes. I honestly don't know what's their deal, they did great with F!Robin, I don't know why they keep doing this even after the complains.

    It's quite possible that Claude's leadership has simply been pre-arranged. His family has made concessions to the other noble house's to secure the votes/support needed to ensure Claude's smooth succession. In that sense, he is the Heir to the leader of the alliance, even if said heirship isn't based on familial dynasty.

    That's quite possible, although it would still mean there's very little suffrage and none for the commoners. But again, that's just Fire Emblem.

  10. 23 minutes ago, Onestep said:

    I fully expect that in a Revelations style route. I suspect most story paths will have a split though.

    In my case, I don't think there will be much war between the three houses, not to the point in which it becomes central to the plot but more like temporary conflicts. I believe this because the three houses don't hate each other, they're in peace, and there's no resentment since the three heirs can be seen walking or fighting together at the beginning and at the end of the trailer, so they at the very least get along enough to go to this Academy together. Similarly, the houses have no problem studying under the same roof. That's not to say I don't expect conflict between them, but as I said, I think they will be temporary quarrels.

    Now, to be honest, I'm not too happy with the amount of peace and camaraderie I saw in the trailer... I do want open war, haha :P:

    i'm far more worried about the general lack of expression and emotions in all characters, but that's probably because i find the art style a bit too bland for my tastes. this Personaish design isn't really my thing.

    Agreed, it actually bothered me how particularly bored Byleth looked throughout the trailer :>_<:. And yes, I too find the art style to be too bland for Fire Emblem, but perhaps that's because we just got out of Kozaki's creative and charismatic style, and Hidari's elegant and beautiful style. It seems to me that, in those respects, this one is like... neither :(:

    1 hour ago, ΔZZ said:

    Hopefully once we see her moving about in game (and having an expression on her face that isn't neutral) she'll look more natural since all we have is a still image, meanwhile m!byleth obviously has a lot more images of him in action moving about

    Yes, I was hoping to see her in action before commenting on anything, but the trailer forgot about her a second after showing her. Still, maybe when we see her in movement the design will look better...

    Female Byleth being a fashion mess <3 bless her heart, I feel like with time I will be able to get used to her outfit though.

    But yeah I would had liked it more if they just did what they did with female Robin in FE13, but oh well.

    I thought this was going to be the case! But yes, we get a fashion mess instead, hahaha :P:

    The crests are to blame once again I suppose.

    :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

  12. Honestly, I've tried not to think much about Leicester, because I can't wrap my mind about it being a country ruled by an unconflicted alliance of noble houses. But, as you said, this is fiction.

    It's not a democracy, simply because of the fact Claude is an heir to the title of Leader of the Alliance, meaning he won't be voted as the Leader not even by the other nobles, just that he's going to inherit the title. So no suffrage there, limited or otherwise.

    Now, there being a leader among them doesn't mean said leader has absolute power over the country; since it's an alliance of noble houses, I'm assuming he's more like the leader of a council, and said council is made up of the other heads of the other noble houses. So, a plutocracy, as you said.

    I don't think there's a House of Commons there, it doesn't sound very Fire Emblem. But, again, since it's Fire Emblem, I'm very sure commoners are happy with their government regardless of its type, unless said government is one of the villains.

    It would be very interesting if the game showed there were conflicts within this alliance and/or between the alliance and the commoners, but I won't be holding my breath for this :(:

    I don't think that will happen, for the simple reason that Switch games have an inherently higher MSRP than 3DS ones.

    Maybe I'm wrong, but Fire Emblem isn't Pokemon, and I don't think it can get away with the same anti-consumer shit as Pokemon all the time.

    Also, I think Nintendo would have the decency to tell retailers that the game will be split. Allowing pre-orders to happen and then forcing the stores to cancel them all is going to sour business relations.

    I agree with all of this, specially the fact that they would have said so by now. The game even has a launch date already, it's not like they can hide it and then surprise people with a split game the moment it comes out.

    Moreover... 3H isn't generating half of the hype Fates did. Sales wouldn't go well even if they had the nerve to split the game again. Besides, the Switch can handle more than one path in one game, although I don't think this will be the case.

    And on that topic... I don't think the artbook in this one is worth paying for this special edition :>_<:

    And that come from a guy who liked Corrin's leggings.

    You mean people didn't like her leggings? Or more like stockings (are they the same thing in English?). I liked them a lot, I thought they were cute :>_<:specially because I like wearing stockings myself.

    Maybe that's why I'm making such a big deal out of poor Byletha haha :P: but joking aside, i suppose that, now that you mention it, maybe the designer's intent was to give her a modern fashionable style mixed in with the medieval fantasy setting, something I can see was done more successfully with Dorothea.

  15. To be honest, I still think we're going to be fighting against the Church of Seiros at the end of the line, as the true villain or something. That guy who obviously looks like a villain strikes me more as an important lackey like Gangrel or Robin's daddy.

    So I think the houses will unite against the Church and whatever Evil Dragon is there; if there will be disputes between the three countries it won't be that important. I also think that when we choose a house, the other two will become non-controllable allied units and/or temporary enemies turned allied units. I say this because in the trailers, the heads of the three houses (namely Edelgard, Spaghetti and Bambi) look like friends or at least it's clear they get along with each other enough to fight together, and even when they're shown individually commanding their armies to attack, you never see them actually battling against each other like in Fates. So I think IntSys just wants us to think the game is about the three houses fighting each other when it's not.

    Now I'm almost wondering if there's something significant about Byleth's voice, haha. Some folks have noted that it says "choose your form" rather than "choose your gender" on the screen for selecting which version of Byleth you play as, but now I'm imagining Byleth as some ancient eldritch being who speaks with a thousand overlapping voices that drive others mad and only deigns to take on a human like form. :D

    Okay not really, but I DO wonder if something about their voice might be important in some way and they're hiding that from the trailers for now.

    Haha this would be soo cool! :lol: Like this really big revelatory thing that shocks you like when you discover who the villains are in Bravely Default and Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies :blink: Not to say he'd be the villain but you know, those dark flames surrounding him suggest something Robin-like (I hope it's not just that, though, but something new!).

    What a surprise. 

    The community is bothered by something a female character is wearing.

     

    Now, now, there's no need for that accusatory attitude, please. It doesn't matter if the character is female or male, the fact remains her design is weirdly mismatched and not very good for cosplaying, as well as the overall design of the characters that are sort of plain. And I'm not even saying this with malice, I'm the first one that wishes I'd like them more than I do, given how much I love every FE Game so far. So, please, there's no need to act like disliking a design makes someone beneath others.

    OH MY GOSH SHE'S WEARING SHORTS!  THIS IS GREAT!

    No, I'm not being sarcastic.  Weird leggings aside, this is a vast improvement IMO.

    This was my reaction with Edelgard :P: I like her clothing, it all matches and her leggings aren't weird.

    I'm really hoping we have tons of custom options for the PC. I want to be a tall woman that looks intimidating but really pretty. And can I say again that I really like F!Avatar's haircut???

    I also like her hair a lot! And maybe not many will agree, but I love that hair color, I actually did a playthrough once with my Corrin having that exact same hair color :lol:.

  18. 6 minutes ago, Glennstavos said:

    Reactions to Female Byleth are reminding me of initial reactions to Corrin.

    "What the f-where are her shoes!?"

    That said this design is very...extra. Dress as the male version instead.

    I actually always liked Corrin's design, including the fact they wore no shoes, something about it just looked cool to me? I don't know, I guess I'm a monkey :P: 

    It also made sense, like the whole design was the same style. Poor Byleth just looks weird.

    1 minute ago, BrightBow said:

    That it looks completely stupid. Especially with that neutral expression on her face. It's a worthy successor to female Corrin.

    Oh, how saddening that you think that way of Corrin :(: But okay.

  19. 15 minutes ago, Tamult said:

    Looking at Edelgard's clothes in particular for this, you can see that at these two timestamps (sorry for doing this very quick and dirty), that class changes (which seem to be by completing an exam) do change the dress somewhat.

     

    You are right though, that is a rather weird lower half, looks like some sort of embroidered leggings (definitely a pattern going on in that picture) but still doesn't excuse the inconsistent design.

    https://youtu.be/8OwUB8gf5Ac?t=264 

    https://youtu.be/8OwUB8gf5Ac?t=247

     

    That's right! the fact the class change seems to change the clothes too is my only hope, haha :lol:. Also it seems the characters will all start as "Noble" and then they can get upgraded to an actual class, sort of like the villager units such as Donnel. So I guess I'll wait for when the designs of each class come out, and hope they're not as senseless as Female Byleth's :>_<:

    Thank you for posting :lol:

    Oh this looks just beautiful. :lol:

    What do you mean :>_<:?

  20. 12 minutes ago, IEatLasers said:

    Yeah...I’m really not happy about a story splitting in three ways around a character who doesn’t even talk...that’s really sad to me in fact!

    Oh... You are absolutely right :(: I haven't thought of that :>_<:.

    I don't think we'll have three different paths this time, though, more like just three different armies to choose from, but in any case it doesn't sound so good... 

  21. 30 minutes ago, IEatLasers said:

    Lastly, did you ever notice Byleth talk? He may only grunt/be totally silent and have no role in the story. 

    Oh, this is actually something I made a topic about many months ago with the teaser, haha. I do believe he doesn't talk; my theory with the teaser was the fact he never opens his mouth when doing a critical hit, which another character does here in the new trailer. In any case, Byleth does remains silent both in the teaser and in this trailer, also his face looks so bored :>_<: but that's neither here nor there. I really think he'll be the silent type.

    That being said, I do think he will have an important role in the story, simply because the trailer said he was 'the hero the world needs', and also because of him being the only one able to see Sothis. And that dark miasma thing surrounding him at the end of the video looks important, I think :P:
