The Chapter itself in English is called "A Power Awakens" but the title above the Chapter says "Intermission" as opposed to "Chapter 'X'" I think that's what's being referred to here.

Well yeah I would've preferred Walhart too but at least Validar can claim he has more plot relevance and connections to characters than Iago, the in my opinion worst villain in the game. Maybe I'm just miffed that Garon's moveset potential had been thrown out the window for what seems to be not wanting to put more effort into them. That's just me though

I wish I could share your enthusiasm here but sadly out of all Fates villains Iago is my least favorite. Or maybe I'm just annoyed because of Garon's moveset potential.

Did....did they seriously go for Iago as the Fates villain rather than Garon? If so I'm utterly baffled at this decision to have all the villain characters be dark mages. At least Gharnef and Validar have plot relevance

We have a thread about it already, it's 100% true

It's mostly because it doesn't really make sense for anyone else to be wearing Azura's pendant, and it is most definitely in that sillouhette.

Not necessarily, Hyrule Warriors did have several characters that joined you in the main story but weren't playable in it- namely Agitha and Ruto- until you played Adventure Mode, so if they're not unlocked in the main story they could be unlocked in History Mode. There are several possibilities

Cordelia and Caeda simply to see this DLC battle conversation from Awakening expanded upon

True, he doesn't have a "top bad guy" vibe but that could be to throw us off. Though he is said to be a 'prince' so it's possible the actually rulers of his country are behind it but we don't know a lot of context about the OC world. All of what you said is possible though. Not of him being played no though I do remember seeing him on the battlefield as an ally on that one stream where the twins' VAs were playing. Can't remember how big his sword is so I would have to check Edit: Well actually here's a screenshot where we can almost see the whole length of a sword he's using, looks to be a two-handed one.

It's certainly possible, but considering we have seen zero mention of him being playable yet he clearly plays a decently major role in the story (and that we haven't seen any OC villain) he is sadly becoming more and more suspicious in regards to that

I'm glad someone made this topic, because I've been thinking about this a lot the last few days. For me I'm still unsure, on one hand part of me wants to see if there are any hidden things/characters and the like but the other also doesn't want to get spoiled on everything. It may be a mix, for characters I'll probably look, for story stuff and bond conversations, etc. I'll try to avert my eyes

It's just a costume for her not an entirely different character/moveset. It's a bonus for buying the Season Pass like the Dark Link costume was for Hyrule Warriors

This pretty much sums up my thoughts on the subject. Like out of all the people to cut from Fates because 'too many from Fates' you choose her? The character practically gift wrapped with a unique moveset? Seriously? And with DLC having a likely chance of being characters from other than the main 3 my hopes plummet more and more every minute. It's just disappointing.

To be fair some of the other voices in trailers sounded a bit weird until we heard more of them in the demos

I mean sure I can understand a 'too many Fates argument', it's just that I get annoyed when they say that when 3 of Fates characters are clones of someone else and now they're ignoring someone with unique moveset potential because of it. I love Elise and Sakura don't get me wrong but I would have traded them for Azura in a heartbeat.

Well this is incredibly disappointing considering her moveset potential, story importance, and the lack of lance infantry. Not to mention all our lance users (so far) are Pegasus Knight clones of each other so this is even more disappointing. This is the first time I'm legitimately disappointed with a roster decision.

Don't forget about Sakura, they also changed Sakura's (though I suppose that's probably due to her weapon)

I got real excited when I saw this I'll be honest. Know I shouldn't be getting my hopes up too high since it could be Caeda (as many have pointed out, though I'm not sure why they would redesign her spear- actually I'm surprised if she has a spear at all) but I really want it to be Azura. She's the character I've wanted most in this game, for potential moveset and personal reasons of course. I could be setting myself up for disappointment, but I'm gonna hope anyway-

Is that supposed to be showing the weapon triangle? I thought it was just showing the switching between characters thing, and that you switch through them in a certain order.

I mean not particularly? Sure they're on opposing sides in Birthright and Conquest but in their supports in Revelation they were never antagonistic towards each other. And in this context they're on the same side and its clearly not story mode for these demos so no they aren't really supposed to hate each other

Had to look through again but at 7:02 the first time and again at 7:20 (the second one also has slightly different lines and Camilla actually responding) So yeah it's a thing

I'm pretty sure this is a thing in-game actually. I distinctly remember while watching one of the most recent demos when Camilla and Hinoka did a pair up attack they referred to each other by name.

There is no source, and I double checked now just to be sure, this is just pure assumption on the person's part from what I can tell.

I agree that it's a possibility but until we hear it straight from the developer's mouth please don't say that like it's fact. We don't KNOW anything about the decision making regarding Lyn as of now, and it could've been IS or Koei or both for all we know

M!Robin, who I didn't actually use too much because I got a 5 Star Nowi soon after, one that helped me through a lot of things and I still use to this day
