  1. I must say Tellius and Three Houses have the best art design. Not that the others aren’t good. Older Fire Emblems always have that their time’s anime medieval fantasy design, and they all fit, and relatively grounded. Only exception would be Fates, as they go for the over the top modern anime weeb appeal. Of course Fates WAS the bottom tier of bad design, as we all know which is the worst now

    Oh, ok, thanks for confirming. I hope that Laegjarn didn't take the throne for Laevatein after coming back to life, it'd to good to Laevatein to be forced to think for herself and be independent.

    Yes, Laevatein was crowned queen at the end of Book II, but in a recent Forging Bonds (don’t remember which), Laevatein visits Askr and it was mentioned there Laegjarn became queen

    As for the failed Engage sweep, color me surprised that the votes were spread out too far to help anyone in particular! I wonder how this will affect next year's CYLs. With the possible exception of M!Byleth and Sylvain, I don't think there are any blatant 3H favorites left (unless Dorothea still can't get a main pool variant by then) while Engage fans might double down on Yunaka and/ or Ivy. To be fair I had my doubts about any of the guys having enough star power to win but I was sure those two had the female division on lock. That part in particular had me more surprised than anything else.

    That’ll be interesting to see. It’s possible any that even the top Engage characters might still have a chance next years, as much as they’ll lose star power by then, and that assuming no FE remake is release as some rumors claim. It can go either way, as the lukewarm at best reception of Engage may go for the latter, but it’s also possible at least one of the top characters’ star power makes it through next year

    From a western perspective, and acknowledging Fates was quite successful overall, I wonder if the focus on and idealisation of the Japanese setting made it harder to relate to than the bog-standard medieval fantasy of other FE games.

     

     

    I’m not sure if the Japanese idealization is the overall cause of it’s lower reception, as it was more like a part of Fates’ overall poor writing problem. In fact, until Engage was released, Fates was the record holder for being the worst FE of all things Engage is being criticized about: poor writing and way too weeb

    I reckon a big factor is that the other FE games immediately around it are just very mediocre, so it's not like newer fans have anything else to gravitate towards. There's the utter over-monetised mess that was Fates, a faithful remake of arguably the worst FE game in Echoes, and the eminently forgettable Engage. That, plus a bunch of minor spin-offs with minimal commercial impact.

    I find it funny FE managed to get mainstream appeal with Awakening, but it’s only next big hit since has been only 3H

    Hey, Jugdral lords have plenty of fans! Seliph placed in CYL6, and Sigurd and Leif both did really well here!

     

    Plenty of hardcore FE fans, but it’s clear casual fan doesn’t care enough to vote for them, unless the rumored remake gets done and expose them more to mainstream audiences 

  6. SILLY BERNIE GOT A SPOT 🤩. I must say, Robin is the only one who fits prior trends of choosing lords, but we already ran out of lords with mass fan base, but this is pure underdog victory, starting with Alfonso who was always popular, but never made it in top 2 until now. I’m not the biggest fan of Felix other than his combat performance, but I welcome him as well. But I’m worried with the 3H winners will get the another lame un creative treatment like that other CYL

    Oh yeah, speaking of this. I wonder if Laevatein was crowned queen of Muspell during the whole year that Laegjarn was dead, or they have a mother alive?(in which case Laegjarn wouldn't be the queen now too) I don't think they ever mentioned who's Surtr wife ir if she's alive or whatever, did they?

    I believe she it was explicitly mentioned she was taking the throne just after killing Surtr

    I want that Altina. And the Igrene/Louise duo, but not as high priority. Although I am a little upset that Altina doesn't seem to have visible abs.

    My Christmas Altina is already kicking major butt on her own. An axe Altina covering for the usual Christmas’s lance weaknesses will complete my team. ABYSSAL HERO BATTLES ARE AS GOOD AS DONE

  9. Damn, I couldn’t get duplicates, but THE Reinhardt is back. Thanks in great part to him, I could complete all the infernal Legendary and Mythic Hero Battles current on. He’s stupidity broken. Only downgrade to the original THE Reinhardt is having to move spaces to attack twice like Dire Thunder does, but it’s pretty minor as he has much higher damage and speed to offset it, plus all the add one like one extra movement to allies close by, and canto. Canto alone would have been very useful to the original THE Reinhardt

    Engage is great. Don't listen to the hate. It's the same with every new release.

    I mean, don’t know about hate, but I do have the impression Engage just came and go compared to 3H. I’m sure to remember 3H has been heavily promoted and present when it was released and at least until Ashen Wolves DLC. I feel Engage was released and everyone just kinda forgot about it by the week

    CYL 7's come and gone and Engage has been out for over half a year (and Fell Xenologue's been out for almost five months) so... yeah. While I would have said an Engage sweep was inevitable, seeing how much of the Engage discourse is about how bad it is and people warning others not to play it, I think we may only get 2 or 3 reps from there.

    Really? Is Engage that disliked? I DID get the impression it was seen with indifference, but kinda dismissed  it due to my absence, but I didn’t think it would be this bad. Anyone would like to fill me up? I didn’t buy Engage because I’ve only finished Crimson Flower and Ashen Wolves in 3H, and leaving Claude’s campaign mid way, not because of any particular dislike

    Wow, the final round is ideal for me! =D One of my top two picks is guaranteed to win! I wonder which it'll be... Well, I can snipe whichever color doesn't win. So, I guess I want Veronica to win since I think the odds of pulling Fomortiis as a focus unit is higher than pulling Veronica. There are more reds on the banner than colorless, right?

    Wait, a banner, ON TOP OF THE WINNER FOR FREE? Fuck yeah, I’m saving ‘em orbs
