Where did Veronica come from?
wouldnt make sense if she got a brave version before her original, though, as someone mentioned

We are not starting this
no pineapples on my pizza

I think I see what you were going for, but aside from certain seemingly useless support conversation changes, I didn't mind the localization of FE Fates, so I'm in for the FE Switch train. Censorization and changes made in localized versions usually have their reasons, such as Corrin supposedly spiking Soleil's drink, Soleil going through a 'phase', etc. that wouldn't simply work out for the consumers in different countries and can only be culturally accepted in Japan or some other countries.

Favorites: JRPG, VN, Bullet Hell, FPS (unless it's one of those ones that give me nausea)
Least Favorites: "Educational" Games (did anyone even mention this before), puzzle (except for Prof. Layton series), racing, most fighting games, most platformers

Really depends on which game it is. The creator might want to mix in fantasy aspects into it, and that already makes the game historically incorrect. Sometimes certain games will preferably have correct historical facts. Which game are we talking about, really?
Lets not talk about Fate. Florence Nightingale the Berserker

English Virtual Console releases of older Fire Emblem series. I'll definitely get it, and I believe it will appeal to newer fans as well.

I never really used both of them but I loved seeing those memes on splatoon, me being a living dank meme and all.
miss you, miiverse :/ I don't care much for miitomo though

I can't even start to properly farm and ascend before I have a 5* unit. My 4*s are pretty much trash

I think someone already mentioned it, but it's probably just because that way the more important characters stand out. Happens all the time in the animes I watch.

I place my bet on Tharja and Camilla, as much as I dislike them.
I don't think Chrom will make it, honestly. Maybe Hector? I honestly have no idea for the male selection, but probably those who scored high last round.
(how about we vote for f.robin and soleil)

That'll get me to spam my orbs :)

Ah, it's time for this again, isn't it?
- Fanservice/the-fates-crap. Just no. I don't think I need to explain that.
- Clones. No need to explain that one either i believe.
- 2nd gen. Unless they are completely necessary for the story, no.
- Juggling multiple unnecessary arcs. Looking at you, Awakening. The Valm campaign was pretty much pointless. They could've connected Plegia arc and Grima arc altogether.
And I just hope they have an actually good story and learn from how Fates went down.
-
I first saw the left one as Lissa, but it would make sense if it was Peri? I honestly have my doubts for Tharja and Robin... maybe chrom. Probably no new character will be added to Heroes through this, if there will be Morgan then I'm expecting a separate banner with the Awakening children. I think I might skip this one unless they have really good designs?
I'm starting to wonder if I should have not summoned my 2 Siegbert with 80+ orbs.
I should have not.
-
No, please not Tharja... I already had too much of her, I don't need any more. I guess it really can't be helped though, she's really popular for some reason. Both of them don't really appeal to me, so I'll probably just summon a few times and probably save up for other banners. I'll just wait for the other 2 characters.

The only issue I have with this is the fact the story has him be this ultimate leader where all decisions he makes is always agreed to be the right one. No one that he's allied with ever questions his judgment really and assure any time that he has doubts that what he did was the right thing. It doesn't feel like he developed as well as he could have. However, I don't hold that much hate for Corrin, because Corrin is just one part of the issue. The entire problem is Fates as a whole.
Corrin had potential, but so did Fates as well. I am pretty sure when a lot of people heard the premise of the story, they were excited about how the story would go. The concept was VERY interesting. But the execution was terribly played, because they tried so hard to ride on Awakening's poularity and focused way too much on the fanservice, and not just the eyecandies, but all the other things that were popular from Awakening, such as the 2nd Gen.
If anything it's more of a miracle that none of the kids had any form of insanity. Those quirks that each and every one of them had I feel are just things that they each created for themselves JUST to keep some semblance of sanity in them, from Owain's theatrical speech patterns, Inigo's flirtatious behavior, etc. These are all facades they crafted that has been engraved into their personalities, all to defend themselves from the painful reality that they are fighting a losing war.
If the writing was better, It's perhaps not an exaggeration to even say that it could have been one of the best FE titles. I actually didn't mind the second gens being in Fates, but clones were too big of a stretch. Also notable that whichever one you pick, you get a pretty similar experience (excluding revelation). Fates and Corrin were just victims of failed writing. It was also sad to know that the amount of fanservice increased so much, as one of the reason why I enjoyed Awakening (the first game in the series I played) was because of its minimal fanservice, unlike many JRPG titles.
Agreed. I always thought of their behavior as a sort of coping mechanism to deal with the living hell they had to endure.

Roy is a shit lord. He's an awful unit and he has no resolve and is too weak to be a good main character. Micaiah suffers from similar problems. Lucina is extremely bland. Ike is Gary Stu III and his fans are annoying as all hell. All of them are pretty bad but fuck Corrin. Corrin is the most trash ass lord in the franchise. He's bland, weak, has no resolve, and the plot centers around him more than the other lords listed so he fucks up the rest of the plot way more.
Sigurd was kind of a Gary Stu but he was a way better character than the other Gary Stus, Ephraim and Ike.
Lucina is in Awakening and she's the more bland female version of Chrom. You can judge Ephraim and Eirika btw, they don't change at all throughout the game. Eliwood and Lyn aren't that bad of units at least in my experience
I can't say anything about Roy, Ike, and Sigurd as I never played any of the games where they come out, but I can say something about Corrin and Lucina.
I agree that Corrin is not the best lords out there and yes, everybody kisses their butt all the time, but the thing is, they were intended to be weak because they didn't know anything about reality outside the castle (if you are saying weak unit-wise, I never thought they were a bad unit and had no trouble using them.) I don't understand how Corrin can be described as bland and having no resolve. As far as I know about the other lords of the franchise, Corrin is one of the most distinguished lord in the series, far from being bland. They are unlike the other lords. They are naive, emotionally weak, and somewhat childish. Also, their determination is what really drives the plot forward, so you can't really say that they have no resolve. Corrin will definitely make a kind but absolutely terrible leader of a country though. They might not be good lord-wise, but when it comes to personality, they are pretty interesting.
You also mentioned that Lucina is extremely bland. But thinking about what kind of life she had, it really is hard for a person to be cheery. It is understandable that her surrounding and what she had to go though formed her personality as what you might perceive as 'bland' and rather a bit stoic. However, she has her own quirks too, showing that she isn't completely a boring, serious person.
Honestly seems like quite a few people don't take the time to actually analyze Corrin and decide to immediately ride the Bandwagon of Corrin Hate just because they can be shown as annoying. Think about it. They are actually a (again) very interesting character.

Oh yeah, I only mentioned New Heroes banners in my previous post, but I'd also like a skill banner for "Heroes with Firesweep Weapons" some time down the line, once I've had a chance to build up my orb hoard. So I can have a chance at Soleil without another red getting in the way.
Same, Siegbert kept getting in my path of Soleil.

... a Valentia RGB banner. I want the trio.
maybe a banner for the morphing characters (wolfskin, taguel, kitsune, etc)?

Hmm? I never had any real struggle with bhLyn. Mark her range, wait out of it, let her approach, aaand she's dead.
No real trouble with dragons either. Divine Naga, courtesy of Deirdre.

Ones I have yet to summon: Bridelia, Hector, Lukas, maybe Soleil but probably not
Ones that are not in Heroes yet: Python, other morph types but mostly Keaton

Eh... nope. I stopped caring for Lego when they started to release Lego Minecraft and all the simple moneymaking fandom series. Still some good challenging sets out there releasing, but the majority I see in local stores are disappointing.
I'd certainly buy some of the Nanoblock series if they made some for the characters like how they did with Pokémon. I have some of the Pokémon series, and they serve as a pretty nice decoration.

Honestly, if I had to guess I'd say that the gender ratio is probably 50-50, even maybe approaching female majority. They just aren't in the place you're looking. I mean, in the Awakening art book, the popularity poll they have in there had 68% female participants. Okay, only 700 people polled, but still an shocking number, ya know?
Women tend to prefer story based games. This is why JRPG fandoms are pretty woman-dominated. It still amuses me that whenever the creators of these games meet the fans they're always surprised they have such large female fanbase.
Didn't know about that statistic!
now I'm curious about something else- Why would certain genres of games appeal more to a certain majority of the gender?

I don't know anything about rates, but I do know that you can't blindly believe statements on a player's sex. I know a handful of women who claim to be male to avoid being harassed. Some games have a really toxic male fanbase.
Agreeable point. Though I've never encountered such problem on the internet (or genral games) because of my gender, I've seen others being harassed.

Do you know of any genres where women are the majority? I'm not asking that to sound dismissive, mind you, I'm just genuinely curious.
No, actually. It was that I saw quite a few female gamers state that they did not enjoy the JRPG genre, although I guess they just happened to be female.
Likable characters vs well written/interesting characters
in General Fire Emblem
Posted
In my opinion, usually well-liked characters are well-written ones.
