As for me, I really hope future remakes don't add in any new playable characters, unless they already exist somewhere in that universe. Like ... if a hypothetical FE6 remake wanted to incorporate Lyn into the world properly and made her recruitable in Sacae, I'd be more okay with it than if they added some random new character who never existed before to be there for whatever reason. FE4 in particular would be pretty hard to fit a new character into. For the most part, the games really don't "need" any new playable characters because only a few of them are integral to the plot, and adding more plot-important characters just makes things needlessly messy. And I don't see the point in adding a new plot irrelevant character either.
Lyn can be Roy or Lilina's mother so it wouldn't be possible since their mothers are said to be dead. Well, at least Roy's mother.
Honestly I don't think the future games need new characters, except maybe the other Cipher characters via DLC like in Shadows of Valentia, I would welcome it very much.
Fe6 could add Tiana and Al via DLC since the game have a sword and staff with their names so why not, and maaaybe an avatar being Mark's child but I don't think avatar is necessary, and as far I know this community, some fans would riot. Sacred Stones could add a bard and one or two new units IF they decide to make Eirika and Ephraim routes simultaneously playable, otherwise new units aren't needed. As for Arachnea, proper supports would do wonders for that game. It would be hell to pay all the voice acting because the cast is gigantic but if they ever remake Marth games again, this is the first thing they need to focus and plus avoid adding any new character.
New units were created to be in SOV because the cast was relatively small and story was barebones so they needed new NPCs to tie the plot, even if it wasn't done perfecly. Jugdral, Elibe and Tellius have already gigantic and solid casts that just need some fleshing out. Sacred Stones has a smaller cast but it's ok as it is as well.

The avatar now can have a harem. Children units return and if they remarry they will still unlock the children paralogues.
Like in Persona the partners will fight each other because of jelousy system, so if you give more attention or gifts to just one of them things will get messy. If the marriage is too unhappy that a character is constantly angry, they will ask divorce and leave the army. You can also go the the sauna with all your husbandos and waifus. Actually the sauna is exclusive only to members of your harem.

I feel like a lot of the insistence that, "Characters X and Y haven't had enough time to like each other" misses that some people can literally meet in a hot tub and hit it off from there, whereas some people can be in a relationship for months without ever dropping the L-Bomb out of uncertainty and nerves.
Different things work for different people and I think it'd be kinda neat to see more of that in FE. I'd rather have two supports that were really well-written than four or five that are just kind of bland.
One thing that might be interesting is having two characters feel they could be a couple at B, start to question that at A, and then maybe the S equivalent is them realise that they may be better as friends. Like, that seems like it might be a nice thing to explore.
I agree completely with this. Some people have a fixed narrative of how love, attractiveness or marriage should work but it functions differently for every person. Some people can decide to marry in months, or be in an arranged marriage, while others wait years, and a lot aren't even interested in settling at all.
I said "no" because I think four conversations is not enough to establish realistically any relationship, romantic or not. But this is a video game with mechanical limitations, so the details of the relationships are left for the fanbase to complete with fics headcanons; or extra official material to explore the most popular relationships through novels, cd dramas, spin offs, etc..
Overall I'm honestly satisfied with how supports works, it's more than what most games without fixed pairings provide. Not to mention that Fire Emblem has a huge playable cast.

I guess the distinction is why you love them, not that you love them?
The same holds true in real life. The reasons for loving someone do matter.
More or less this I guess? But the thing is that design is also an important component of a fictional character, so imo it's not fair shaming or calling attention of people for having waifus husbandos, as long they aren't being obnoxious about it.
-
Honestly no. But the supports give the tone, the basic script of the relationship, it's quite obvious that a couple or even friends didn't talk only four times in the game. Most of the development happen off screen.

Yeah, basically. In Awakening and Fates, they take great pains not to represent the Avatar character in their cutscenes. Then Smash comes along, and says "their name is Robin, and they have this particular hairstyle". Same with portrayals in Warriors and Heroes. Doing so prioritizes a single representation of a character who can be constructed in many different ways. What's the point of letting the player name and design their own character, if that character is going to be represented in a standardized fashion across the rest of the series?
I agree, it's a poor decision. But I think avatar exists as a -cheap- momentary self insert.
Avatars have a background, standard name and appareance, but they still want to provide the gamers the experience to role play, especially the casual gamers that won't overthink details and won't engage in "canon wars"
-
I think Byleth is the chosen one to represent Three Houses because picking either Dimitri, Edelgard or Claude would piss a lot of fans, so Byleth is the "neutral" choice.

Female. Only because there's a lack of good female lords THAT aren't sidelined, outshined or treated in a bad light.
I'd rather though, to have a game with a solo female lord - like Chrom or Marth, or two female lords - like Seliph and Sigurd. Because, after all, avatar's gender is never fixed and always open to discussion, regardless if one gender is default or more popular.
Ps: I know that Robin and Kris are lords in Chrom and Marth's games, but they are avatars, so their gender is open to discussion.

Just a reminder that reducing all female characters to "waifus" is more than a bit sexist.
I agree that reducing a character to a prize love interest is sexist - be it by the fans, or writters side.
But finding characters cute or having waifus or husbandos, - or in my case discussing playfully who are your "waifus"- is not sexist, as long you can appreciate other aspects of the characters and games.

While I'm not fan of Robin with second generation kids, I think it would be the best option to not exclude two children
Female Robin x Lucina and Kjelle. Male Robin x Laurent and.. Gerome? Dunno.
As for first generation, Tharja, Sully and Sumia would be good lesbian options.
Lon'qi, Gregor and Henry could work as gay options I guess... Chrom can't be gay because Lucina need to be born for the story to work.

A lot. I love training meh or average characters and turning them gods. Virion, Neimi, Marty, Natasha, Mozu, Donnel, Amelia, Meg, half of FE6 cast ...

Is Carrion considered really bad? He turned one of my best units...

How do you all manage to name ten different options for a specific question?!
What do you answer when asked about your favourite ice cream? White chocolate and dark chocolate and raspberry and vanilla and watermelon and coconut? 🙃Lol I think the "problem" is that Fire Emblem has a lot of games and a LOT characters.
If someone asked my favourite Fire Emblem character I'd name nothing more nothing less than 48747474 units because it depends of my mood, how recently I played one of the entries or how much invested I am in certain game at the time, so I can't answer objectively because it changes a lot.

I don't have waifus myself but those are girls that I like with the lords or avatar
FE4: Patty, Daisy, Larcei, Laylea,
FE6: Sue, Sophia, Cecilia
FE7: Fiora, Lyn
FE13: Olivia, Sumia
FE14: Felicia, Camilla
Fe16: Petra, Dorothea, Hapi, Shamir
I find Noire, Brigid, Safy, Leanne, Marisha, Faye, Azura, Mathilda beyond pretty but not romance material for lots of different reasons

Are you playing normal or hard? I don't want to hate on Donnel as a unit, but he's not really worth using because he takes so much work to be good (if you're using him at all). Another recommendation would be to use Frederick to set up kills for your weaker units so they can level up as much as possible. Awakening in general is easier if you are using one team that you put together in the first ten or so chapters of the game rather than varying up your units so much. I never use Virion or Miriel for example and tend to leave Kellam behind early on in favor of the units that have been seeing action in the first few chapters already.
I will be contrarian and say that Donnel can be one of the best units due to his high growths. He is not worth touching in Lunatic in which side quests are harder than normal story related chapters. But in hard, Donnel can become a beast if you train him in just one paralogue. From then on, he breezes in the game.

Personal tastes aside, as it's subjective, commercially Three Houses is bigger than Awakening though.
Awakening had a way better post game/dlcs, and thats it. I have a soft spot for FE13 since it made me come back to the franchise after years though.

Oh, right.
EHL: Eliwood, Hector, Lyn
ECD: Edelgard, Claude, Dimitri
Two men, one woman. Men can pair up only with the female avatar, woman can with both.
Yeah, I can see Lyn supporting male and female Mark, and Raven or Lucius supporting both Mark genders as well.

He is Literally Dracula, he was the main villain of Vampire FE before it leaked and they decided to settle on a school setting instead. If you ever wondered how he could be a teenager- thats your answer.
Similarly, Dedue was originally the senior vampire hunter who sacrificed themself to protect the young hunter Dimitri. But not before Dimitri's reckless charge at the immortal enemy led Hubert to respond stabbing his long nails into Dimitri's eye. Afterwards, Dedue himself became a vampire who Dimitri later put out of his misery. Edelgard was a young vampire hunter of decades prior who met the same sad fate of becoming the enemy, but wasn't brainwashed like Dedue was, at first she resigned herself to a peaceful existence amongst her new kind, but the emptiness and guilt led her to covertly continue the holy fight in her vampiric state. Edelgard for that reason worked towards becoming Hubert's second-in-command, not that he entirely trusted her. Lysithea was made a vampire bride within a few years of Vampire FE's start, but was set free by the heroes rather early on. Rhea was the leader of the Wallach Church's Special Inquisition- the institution tasked with matters of the undead.
Awesome fanfiction

Marth's birthday being the release of the first game, 20 April, and Caeda's birthday being the date of the remake 7th August, would be a nice detail. Same for the other lords.

Considering the Cipher lore, I believe that Emma, Randal, Yuzu and Shade are time travelers that took part or at least saw a lot of the wars of the games. When they say they are from a distant land, it's simply a vague way to say that they are from another time period and travel through events. So for example Emma and Yuzu are born in Hoshido but traveled through time and met Randal and other Cipher characters at some point. Apparently Shadows of Valentia is the only war that they are relevant enough to be remebered by name .
Why and how they time travel is open to interpretation.

Honestly I did my second run just to experience the story again and focus the training on my favourite characters for Thabes, so I gave them the fountains and other stat boosters like the Pegasus cheese that raise speed. You can't beat Thabes without grinding
Take time to promote your villagers. Train your villagers (the ones you want to use) until they are in a high level
Make the Dread Fighters loop as villagers and train them
Give them forged or legendary swords.
Give the fork to the units that aren't dread fighters, so they can have better stats. You can get three free forks in the free Mila dlcs.
Units like Tatiana, Silque and Mae that can summon units are very useful to distract the enemies, take at least one of them to your team

Awakening. Not my technical first but well..
1) More diverse map objectives
2) Allow Chrom to marry Tharja, Miriel and Panne. Also let Sumia marry the rest of the cast to add more customisation for Cynthia

Leave Black Eagles:
Ferdinand because of his rivalry with Edelgard
Petra because she is a political hostage
Maybe Dorothea. She is neutral but would easily change sides of she is in love with someone of other house and because she hates war, that Edelgard started.
Leave Blue lions.
Sylvain, for female Byleth. Mostly played like a joke but it's canon
Mercedes for her brother in Black Eagles
Felix because of his rivalry with Dimitri
Leave Golden Deer:
Lorenz because of his rivalry with Claude
Leonie to side with Byleth to honour Jeralt
Lysithea if the "winning" side is doing researches that can save her life
Leave church:
Shamir
All characters can leave their own lords under the certain circumstances, but those are more likely to leave.

Cliche as it may be I still love it all the same. I honest to god don’t understand this obsession people have with gritty realism or whatever. What the hell is wrong with a light hearted story where the strength in ones bonds is used to help overcome one’s struggles?! I think we need more stories like that especially in these times. Not everything needs to be tragic grimdark. It’s no more hamfisted than characters tragically dying at the end of the story for the sake of shock value or subverting expectations. Don’t get me wrong I like me a good tragedy but there’s nothing quite like a story where characters overcome their struggles by confiding and trusting in each other. They fight on despite the odds because of something they wish to protect. One final stand to fight for the bonds they believe in. To fight to protect what they hold dear. The idea that someone will always be with you and fight by your side no matter what which fills you with the strength and determination to stand against all obstacles. That to me is a beautiful message worth telling and why I love stories like that. Humans are social creatures after all. Loneliness is something that can drive us mad if left unchecked.
Also another point is that it was overdone to death in Fire Emblem. So a lot of people want to see other perspectives and scenarios.
Being gritty just for being gritty is not good writing. Being good just for being good in a shitty situation and talking about power of friendship ignoring all political implications is also bad story writing, unless the plot recognises the consequences.
So what's the silliest thing you've done in an FE Game?

Promoted Arden and grinded him until level 15. He was a killer. He also married hottest girl Brigid.
