Thinks Their Own Way

If the game is designed for a system like fatigue, I have no problem. I hope this means that everyone is usable; so having to use everyone doesn't seem like a chore.

With my luck, the way it's calculated is meaningless; it was pretty much fate for the hit rates to act weird. I was playing Chapter 15 of Eirika's route earlier; axe users with 25% hit were hitting Eirika and my Saleh's thunder spell had a higher hit chance (70%) than Caellach's Tomahawk (65%); it didn't play out that way (thankfully Caellach wasn't able to double me). Ephraim was missing 90% hits and enemies with hits between the mid to high 30's might as well had 100%. I'm happy everyone made it out alive.

I'm looking forward to Amelia, Innes, Joshua, Lute, Natasha, Seth and Tana from Sacred Stones. Miriel from Awakening and as well as Charlotte and Kaze from Fates. I would also like more characters from Japan only games.

Jeorge because he's been ready to promote for a while now. Same goes for Henry and Oboro. F!Corrin because of Dark Breath+ (-5 Attack and Speed) Eirika because of Seiglinde Those are the only ones on my radar at the moment.

I think this would better as a ROM hack because those don't have to worry about the game being marketable to a general audience. With a scenario like this, you can't go to severe with the crime other wise people would feel they don't deserve redemption; who would want to cheer for a murderer. But if the crime was to light, then the people who would like this set-up might find it to ridiculous. A lot of fan created ideas to me come off as not intended for a wider audience. Which is suitable for a fan made game but not for one that has millions of dollars poured into it.

Update: I pulled a 5 star: Jaffar Lucius Ogma In a single summon; I'm never going to ever get another 5 star again. It's the only way that a summon like that make sense.

Before this trailer, a lot of people in the fandom going on about how this game looks the second coming of Christ and I felt that I couldn't form an opinion because of how little context I was given by the marketing. I'm interested in a lot of the mechanics (even magic costing HP I'm warming up to) but it's more the people over reacting to what's not in the game that has annoyed me the most. Overly excited by how it's different from the 3DS game and how it brought the worst in people, some just have to make it a negative experience.

Everything else they've released before now that have soured my first impressions of this game and the comment section. I'll wait until let's play footage to decide if I'll get it or not (a let's play of Fates was got me interested in series in the first place).

I like that they explain the gameplay features more in-depth, trying not to isolate people who not familiar with the mechanics. The shit about the pair-up system & archers seems like a really poor choice of words on their part and people are just making a big deal out of nothing because IS throwing shade at newer players makes zero sense from a business perspective. These trailers put so much emphasis on the visuals, I find it shocking how terrible the CG cut scenes look to be honest. The running looks like speed walking and the movements still look very stiff to me (Celica looks uncomfortable walking from my perspective) . I like the 2D stuff and the combat animations. But the reason I have a hard time getting excited for this game is because to me the marketing so feels like its gears toward the crowd that has played Gaiden and for someone like me who has no personal connection to Gaiden... I couldn't care less that they're remaking Gaiden.

From Pulls: Camilla Julia (MVP) Seliph Sanaki Ephraim Olwen Priscilla And I upgraded a 4 star M!Corrin to 5 star because he was one of the first units I got in this game and calling him an MVP for me is an understatement. He earned it.

As long as it isn't like Marc in FE7 I'm happy. I was not a fan of the characters staring straight into the camera to talk to you in the story mode, it feels out of place to me. Or maybe I'm in the camp of if it's not a playable avatar why bother programming them into the game.

I love Celica's re-design; the colour palette for a lot of the re-designs look a little to muted for my liking. But I love how Celica's colour scheme just pops out and the colour complement each other well. So far I prefer Berkut over Faye. Faye's character description annoyed me to no end. It was something I was hoping wouldn't happen. But Berkut I'm pretty sure is a Paladin and lately I've been likely Paladin's so that's pretty much it.

Video games stories are designed for video games. They don't translate well to other mediums. The emphasis is on the game-play in video games not in anime. Change to much and purist will be upset that it's radically different from what they love; but stay to faithful, it can isolate those who haven't played the games (which is far more than people who have played the games). Don't get me started on the shipping war to end all shipping wars if Awakening was turned in an anime. Basically, a Fire Emblem anime is a bad idea to be honest.

Trying to bring the new & old fans at this point I feel is a lost cause to be honest. All I see happening is that the people who will love this game are just going to bash the other new games even more and the people who will hate this game will just continue the cycle of over complaining about the littlest of shits.

With Friendship Seals and Partner Seals; for the former, I like how it gives an incentive to collect same sex supports; and with the latter, the partner isn't completely forgotten in favour of the child (this applies to games with both children and re-classing). Personally I enjoy re-classing, it's not forced upon me; when I re-class I do it because I want to. And at the end of the day, it's still an optional feature, the main campaigns are still doable with out classing.

What's an infantry unit? It was something I need clarification on.

I want to be excited for this game, but nothing so far has been anything exceptional. The trailer might work for someone who's played Gaiden (I was beyond hyped for Pokemon ORAS when that first teaser was just an estimated release date). Maybe if these trailers put more emphasis on the gameplay (explaining the mechanics better) instead of the visuals that aren't anything spectacular to begin with (2D portraits look fine but oh boy the 3D, the movement of characters in the cut scenes in particular look really stiff to me).

The opposite has mainly happened tbh: I officially like Corrin more than Robin now because of this game (I was neutral before but now I have a clear preference) . Mainly because in term of usefulness... Corrin has been whereas Robin has not. As well as I hate M!Robin's big eyes, he looks like one of those Big Eye paintings. I never want to see Stahl or Virion or insert Red Sword user here ever again. Common pulls. But on the plus side... I love Julia

I'm still waiting for Takumi. I have his retainers, his sister Sakura and the man he calls Nohrian Scum; but not the man himself.

When I have enough to upgrade someone to 5 star; my M!Corrin is going to be the first no if's, and's or but's about it. I had him for so long (I had him before I got Alphonse) and his has been the MVP.

Out of roughly 40 something pulls... 5, 5* units: Camilla Julia Seliph Sanaki Ephraim Roughly around between 10-13%

I like Olivia more as a person; but honestly, I've gone through Awakening without having her be a dancer and didn't even notice anything. Azura's sing I've found more useful to me. I just like having a dancer/singer who can use a weapon in their base class in general.

Going from 1.85-1.9 millions in sales to 540-550 K in sales will bring back the potential of Nintendo axing the series in general. Dropping 71% in sales doesn't scream supply and demand. I feel it's more like 1.1-1.3 million minimum is the ideal considering that although Echoes is a side project; Fire Emblem is now a relevant franchise and Heroes bring more attention to the franchise.
