Looking pretty good. I'm hoping Minerva & Linde aren't Camilla & Robin clones. Glad to see that there's more faster ways to raise support and the new weapon skills sounds interesting. The new DLC outfits looks pretty great as well.

While I''m still grinding out my units, my favorites so far are Lyn & Ryoma due to how broken they can be with Astra. Least favorites so far are probably Leo, Elise, and Corrin since their attacks a bit slow, but that could change once I get around to using them and have Astra on them.

If you pause any time you're doing a mission you can press Y and go down to read on Anna's Conditions to see what you have to do to make her appear. For me so far going through Lyn's map a lot of the 2nd Annas are just KOing 1200 enemies.

I guess I can't say that 4 out of the 9 characters are paid DLC, even though they're already in the game, but I guess that's the norm for most games nowadays. As far as the other choices go, nice to see Minerva and Linde making it in. Also Olivia is a nice surprise to see since I thought Azura would be the only "Dancer" type character and I'm interested to see how they play like.

About 36-37 minutes in the archive.

I'm glad to see Owain in and I guess Niles. If they're not secret unlockable characters, then most likely they'll be DLC.

Probably a History mode mission.

I'm probably going with fake on this. I just find Celica and Lyn as the sole reps of their games just pretty weird.

It's cool to see Elise use a mixture of a tomes and staves. I would expect Sakura to make it in as a healer/archer.

Managed to do this with a Lyn Team + Olivia. A few things here to not is that my Brave Lyn doesn't have all her main skills unlocked, gave her Quicken Pulse to allow her to get Dragonic Aura before Narcian gives the Atk/Spd buff to the red infantry unit, and also gave her Reposition to move Olivia out of the attack range. My regular Lyn is a +1, but the only things she gained from the merge was +1 HP & Speed, Olivia does have Wings of Mercy 2, but not even necessary to use. It was pretty fun to use this team.

I find Cordelia pretty surprising. Wasn't so sure she was going to make it in, but I'm glad she's announced. As for Female Robin, I'm wondering if she's an alt to the male counterpart?

Kinda wished that GameXplain would have played the newer characters a bit more instead of like 10 minutes of Corrin who we already seen, but judging from the footage now the 3 are pretty interesting. Lucina kinda reminds me a bit like Chrom, maybe a bit faster than him and I also like the bow she gets when he uses her musou attack. Robin's moveset is pretty amazing, I like how a lot of his moves are basically designed to deal with a crowd, I also like how they made him a lefty and float around while he runs. As for Lissa, not sure if Fredrick getting stuck to her axe is a unique feature to her or some kind of glitch, but I'm glad she has a pretty decent moveset.

It's hard to say. I could see the Awakening trio making it in, but I expect the more important characters taking priority over them.

Pretty surprised to see Fredrick in this. I guess the game will probably have a much bigger roster than I thought.

I'm guessing character reveals are happening soon. Although it could be possible that we might get character showcases first for already known characters like they did with Hyrule Warriors.

There's also two Marths on the main box cover as well.

Looks like Male Robin will be in. As well as Lissa and another "Marth".

Finished up completely everything a couple hours ago. Wouldn't mind see more of Tempest Trials in the future. Also glad that the Arena quests came in handy to for more Stamina Potions.

I probably expect there to be original villains made for the game to kinda set up on how the story unfolds and probably recruits some of the villains from the main games to help fulfill their plans. Similarly to how Hyrule Warriors went with it's plot.

Chrom seems like he has some pretty cool juggles and combo potential. I also like the Awakening nods to some of the moves that he would do in some of the cutscenes and the cover art reference. ProJared has some footage that showcases more of his moveset.

From the footage so far, probably Marth. I can see that he has some good juggle/combo potential and also similar gimmicks to Zelda's rapier with the Light orbs, but with a far better moveset. Also looking forward to using Xander, with the way his horse moves and flips and such, I hope he turns out much better compared to Epona in Hyrule Warriors.

Watching this, I noticed that Marth has a similar gimmick to Zelda's Rapier moveset where he throws out different strong attacks with the 3 Light orbs he gains by charging up. Probably safe to say that other characters may get their own specific meter/gimmick too like some characters had in Hyrule Warriors.

It had 13 characters at first, then with DLC and the 3DS port it grew up to 29 characters.

I wouldn't mind if the game has a weapon swap glitch like Hyrule Warriors did before it was patched. Which then in later Adventure Mode DLCs had missions where other enemy characters had weapons that they normally wouldn't wield. Like Zelda using Link's normal Sword + Shield.

I'm kinda expecting amiibo to work similarly to Hyrule Warriors' amiibo functionality where it gives you random weapons with a different base attack for that character.
