I think Linus is based on his vengeance seeking form and not his Morph form and Lloyd doesn't go as deep in it that his brother does (Linus would quite literally attack Nino if he could while Lloyd would only do so if he is attacked by her). So I can see them not making a Fallen Lloyd.

Spoilers for Book VII Chapter 2

So the new oc is named Ksavir and remember all those memes about Gullveig or someone else being our daughter? Well throw them out the window because this new character is literally born out of the saliva of Vanir (Seidr) and an Aesnir (Kiran, who many theorize is FEH's equivalent to Baldur). Though actually she may not because considering the original Ksavir died and thier blood was used to make the Mead of Poetry (that Odin is often associated with btw) she might be high on character-to-die-for-this-book list. Other facts relating to Ksavir that may or may not come up: Ksavir was born a mortal who was wise and traveled far and wide He was killed by dwarf brothers Fjalar and Galar and his blood was mixed with honey to create the Mead of Poetry The Mead of Poetry, or Mead of Suttungr as it is sometimes called, grants both skinship and wisdom

That and the fact that Mark could realistically have any voice as an adult so having a suitable child version of those infinite voices would be impossible.

Looks like the Summoner will be kept captured by Gullveig for most of the Past arc, probably rescued once Gullveig chases the Order of Heroes personally leading to the moment where young Seidr meets them. Speaking of Seidr, the soul child thing… Assuming it isn’t just more fan service, and I don’t think it will as Seidr went too deep into the mechanics of it to just tease it, I won’t be surprised if it comes up in someway. Either as another potential McGuffin to defeat Gullveig or, as some have perhaps jokingly theorized, the true origin of Gullveig that isn’t the sister.

I actually think Grima!Robin or Lucina is the main driver of the plot of Awakening due to the fact it was through Lucina and the rest of the kids traveling back in time that also allowed the Hierophant to travel back and make the game not a prelude to the Bad Future.

I did forget that a +defense F!Robin can give her a higher max defense modifier.

Chrom's maiden uses the blonde village maiden with freckles. For Lucina it acts as if she has no mother but amusingly enough due to this she gives the greatest defense max modifier at 0.

Yup. It is a bit understandable as the second character in the Japanese word for aunt means mother.

Looks like we had another mistranslated line in FEH, Nerthus was called Freyja and Freyr's aunt. Again Nerthus could be both their mother AND aunt since as I said before Njordr had a sister-wife in Norse myth who presumably birthed the two gods. Either way my guess is when we eventually go into the past we will get clarification on both this and a much more hostile Nerthus.

It should be mentioned that Njorun has already been used by (who else?) one of the 12 crusaders in FE4 ie the original wielder of the Gae Bolg. So that may be another reason they chose the name of Nerthus instead of Njorun.

So Nerthus (I will be using the modern spelling because I don't even know how to type how FEH spelled it), is a goddess commonly associated with Njordr. She is the Norse Vanir goddess of fertility and was worshipped through a ritualistic cart procession, and may be the unnamed sister-wife of Njörðr, the father of Freyr and Freyja. Interestingly her old Norse name roughly translates to 'The Contented Powerful One' or 'The Contented Paradise' depending on if use the Old Irish or Old English entomology. Both Nerthus and Njordr also have a link to the obscure Norse goddess Njorun, another contender to be Njordr's mystery sister wife. As for in FEH, from the bit of dialogue and preview of a battle we saw she doesn't seem to like Njordr and our heroes by association. If she is indeed his wife, or rather former wife, in this universe then their falling out could be related to how their children turned out or even the Golden Curse.

Doesn't Leif give dagger proficiency?

It may be similar to Chapter 3 but it is definitely Chapter 10 as it even has Juliu & Ishtar replacements.

I expect TotK to get its own direct so they will only tease it here before revealing the date of that direct. Other then that my only major hopes/expectations are updates about the Advance Wars 1+2 Reboot Camp, Xenoblade 3 DLC, Mario Kart Booster Course, and finally Engage DLC.
