Screw this! I was really excited spending my 20 orbs today at 4,75% on the brave heroes banner and this is what I got. (I didn't summon colourless because I already have Lyn and did not want to get another 5* healer...)

Apparently there is speculation that the BK will be in the banner on the 15th (like nothing with any evidence but people are speculating) Please tell me I am not the only one who would absolutely hate that...

I initially thought they have the brave heroes as bonus units but that will now likely happen for the mini TT. As for who are the bonus units for the regular TT they never introduced new units for TT so if it is indeed PoR themed we could be looking at a selection of four from Ike, Mist, Soren, Titania and Sanaki. Arguments can be made against Sanaki since she was introduced as being a RD character and not PoR but I could also see them not chosing Ike since he has been in so many banners lately. Then again, people probably still would spend money on Ike. But then we have just the same banner we had when these units were introduced. In conclusion they have to break some pattern here.

I'm usually tired of TT after a week sometimes even before that so I'm fine with this ;)

I feel like the mini tempest trial could be Brave Heroes related since it starts the day the browser game ends and ends together with their banner. I thought for sure we will have a TT on friday with BK as final boss but looks like that one is postponed to the one after. Maybe he appears as a boss twice? With the mini final map being the one shown in the trailer? Consider me intrigued about the future :) Also I'm probably the only one here but I'm glad that there is no BK GHB this month. They should do something special with him. And it seems like they do maybe because he was the top ranked villan in CYL (didn't check that but I guess that is not too far fetched).

I send in a team with Boey first and after that it's Horse Emblem until the end. So MVP I guess Elise (refreshing Camus' QR, healing Eliwood so he can pull more than one axe user and the same for TA-Raven Cecilia)

"You may have noticed that although Robin and Frederick's classes allowed usage of multiple weapon types in the original FE Awakening game, in Fire Emblem Warriors they will only use Magic and Axe respectively. According to Famitsu, characters in this game will get to use one weapon type from Sword, Axe, Spear et cetera." There goes my hope of the generic characters actually wielding two weapons. Or anyone for that matter. That would have been so cool if it was like in Hyrule Warriors where you had multiple weapons for characters that played completely differently... I suppose there will be more characters than in HW to compensate for that or at least I hope. As long as the gameplay is fun I still buy the game but I can't help but imagine what could have been... Like for example Ike wielding swords or axes. Or Lyn with swords or bows. Or Celcica with magic or daggers... Or even Chrom as infantry or cavalry (if Link can have a horse why not Chrom?)

if only it would not be exclusive to a 5* only...

So if I bait Reinhardt with a green mage without Triangle Adept he still only deals 0.8x right?

The weirdest thing in the trailer is the disconnect between voices and viusals... Anyways I'm hoping to see some gameplay soon especially from Robin :) though I'm kind of sad he seems to be only using tomes and not his smash bros levin sword tome combination. Also: Am I the only one that thinks the art style is not at all that good?

Great stuff! Thanks a lot that looks pretty amazing! And Boey's special turned out great as well :)

Wow that looks really cool! I'd love one of those with my units! :) Can I get one with Raven, Camus, Tharja & Ninian as the first team and Spring Lucina, Young Tiki, Cordelia & Boey as second team (special attack artwork)? (Screen size: 1080x1920) That would be pretty awesome!

Let's see whether we could put a diverse roster together only using (somewhat) protagonists. I haven't played FE 4/5 so I only know characters that are in FE Heroes from those games. Still: Marth - Lord Caeda - Pegasus Knight Tiki - Dragon Alm - Hero (with potential of using a bow) Celica - Magic user (with potential of using daggers) Seliph - Lord Julia - Mage user Reinhart/Olven - Mounted mages? (really only going off of Heroes here) Roy - Lord Lilina - Mage user Lyn - Lord (again potential bow here) Hector - Badass Axe user Eliwood - (Mounted) Lord Ephraim - (Mounted) Lance user Eirika - Lord Ike - Lord Micaiah - Magic User Elincia - Pegasus Knight (a long shot I know) Chrom - Lord Lucina - Lord Robin - Sword / Magic mix Ryoma - Sword user Xander - Mounted sword user Corrin - Sword / Dragon mix A lot of sword users? I guess. But not much more if you make 3 out of 4 new original characters sword users as well and include Marth, Chrom, Ryoma, Xander and Corrin anyway. A diverse roster? I certainly say so. With some work put into it everyone could feel really unique. Then maybe throw in Camilla and Tharja to sell copies. Sounds like a good plan to me (Don't take this post too seriously please this is more me being really upset about the excuse of too many swords and my favourite games (FE 6/7/8/9/10/15) being not represented)

Great now everyone gets their waifus in HD I can't say it surprises me... I'm only really disappointed that my illusion that IS would actually care for long term fans of the series and not only for the money is shattered again... The thing that really annoys me though is the bull**** excuse of "too many sword users". Like Ephraim, Hector or Micaiah (maybe even count Lilina or even Soethe). But then make THE ORIGINAL CHARACTERS USE SWORDS TOO... I honestly had to laugh when I saw the picture of that third guy with the sword. Oh well maybe you can customize our FE Heroes-Level of generic Lord protagonists to use another weapon at least. Now they really need to convince me with the gameplay.

I would be interested in which problems you see as similar to Fates. I personally think that SoV does have problems sure though none have come to mind which are similar to Fates 100% Agree! Quality over quantity. One of my problems with Fates.

I guess you would not want to give them the ad revenue ;) But I don't know I did watch it on their YouTube channel. Back to topic I think the best idea would be to have a Avatar with a predetermined name. So people could still pretend they are him/her and ship themselves. As much as I don't want that to be in the next game I understand it sold a lot of copies so if that is the necessary burden to keep Fire Emblem alive so be it.

This! I feel that would be perfect to make Jedah a more than just evil antagonist. Like he wants to restore Rigel his own way by sacrificing Celica to Duma to rid him of his insanity. That way he would even be more of a grey villan something I really want to see again. That simple change in my opinion could turn Jedah from being a generic villan to a great villan!

7.8 too much water (though that might actually be one of the complaints I have about the game) She complained among other things about the fact she could not ship Celica and Saber because the game did not let her. Honestly watch the review if you want a good laugh (or a good face palm)

I agree maybe the story only seemed so good because the one in Fates was so horrible but I really enjoyed it and it kept me invested until the very end. I also think while the main story is not really spectecular the characters are awesome (especially the early game ones like the Villagers, Mae, Boey, usw...) and I credit a lot of it to how well the writing and voice acting worked together. I really don't need a spectecular story (though I wouldn't mind one) if the characters are unique, multidimensional and have enough dialog (which clearly implies that less is more in that case). So overall I was pretty happy with Echoes story and writing and consider it a huge improvement over Fates. I would like to discuss that though that would be too off topic. While I agree that there is some annoying stuff about the gameplay (*cough* caster *cough*) I feel like you could be more specific about what you did not like. I strongly disagree with the gameplay experience being a spectecular failure.

I wonder if they keep voice acting though since I think you would run into problems if you had voice acting and an avatar since nobody will ever mention your name... I loved the voice acting in Echoes and "breathing new life into characters" (if it is more than PR talk) sounds like they should keep voice acting? Though then the Avatar becomes problematic and I sadly think they would keep the avatar over voice acting. It opened up a completly new fan base of "super" casuals who do not even primarily play the game for the strategy aspect. (People like the girl who did the IGN review of FE Echoes come into mind...) They could give the Avatar a fixed name and I think at least most people would be fine with it as long as they keep their waifus. Apparently we have to live with the fact that that's a thing and I don't mind it but I think Fates took it a step too far

Please no not as in Pokémon Sun/Moon. That felt really weird when the world around you evolved from earlier games into that colourful world filled with life that is Alola and then whenever anyone is talking to the avatar just have him stare in silence almost never moving any facial muscles. IMO I like Robin best as an "avatar" because he has a distinct personality. I don't see how they could make a good avatar that doesn't conflict with the player's personality unless they go all out and make every dialog choice matter in some sense... I'd be happy with an avatar that does have some personality to him/her (even if it conflicts with my own) resulting in fleshed out support converstations and a believable part in the story

Yeah I don't know but I don't really mind Nowi either... Maybe that is because they don't shove it into your face

True that, I guess there are people who are not so invested in this game What I'm worried about is that it also comes at the cost of character development... Most of the characters are still the same at the end as they were in the beginning ESPECIALLY our protagonist Corrin...

I get you for me Camilla is everything that is wrong with the new FE Games in a nutshell... Might be a bit unfair but that is how i see her

Isn't it much more proficient to choose any team but Camilla? You're ranking will be worth more than those 500 you get for winning... I chose Cordelia since she was in my first ever summon and though I never really used her in Awakening she was very helpful in Heroes so far... Now going with Team Minerva since I really can't stand Camilla...
