Neither did Cath or Leila, but IS gave them premium seasonal alts too anyways.
Also, Reina did place higher (126th) than Heather (162nd) in CYL7. Make of that what you will.
I agree about Cath, but I swear Leila was actually somewhat popular.

1 minute ago, Ether said:Okay...? Feel free to keep working yourself up over it then, I guess? It just seems silly to harp on about something that is clearly settled by this point, especially on a banner that's entirely unrelated to them aside from the weapons sharing a single mechanic. It's something I see a lot of all over the place so I commented on it.
@EtherDo you know what ACTUALLY works me up? People telling me to get over something I'm not happy with.
Honestly, if you actually care about people getting worked up about this shit, you should've just kept that to yourself.

Folk need to get over the gen 1 refine skips already. If they had any intention of going back to them, they would have by now. Give Hector the weapon refine he did get, or give them arcanes and stop giving yourselves an aneurism already.
Anyway, banner looks neat. Hopefully I get one of Heather and Sisters duo along the way to spark, though the latter is priority if I don't. Zelgius looks annoying so I hope he's flavour of the month so I don't need to see him for too long.
I'm not going to get over it, and who are you to tell me to do so anyway?
You're not obligated to respond to people who are still unhappy about the refine skips. People have different thoughts than you.

No, there is not. They'll still never get refines anyways alongside the others on the refine ban list (base Hector, Ophelia, Surtr, etc.).
Though personally, base Armads not having a refine, while Berserk Armads and Thunder Armads do, is still the most ridiculous thing to me.
Yeah, I agree that regular Armads not getting a refine is also stupid. Literally has only QR2 on it, and regular Hector has been powercrept by versions of himself that have more stats and better weapons and refines on those weapons.
Also ... Heather ... How many people actually like her? She always felt like such a nothing character to me ;/ It's kinda bogus that more popular dudes who aren't in the game keep getting rebuffed for female characters who are less popular than them. At the very least, Heather doesn't really scream "premium 5-star" material to me.
-
There is literally no excuse for Reinhardt and Olwen not getting weapon refines at this point. Period.
Also, the only good Sanaki art in the game is apparently done by the original artist of the Tellius games. I kind of want to get her, but I'm also not really into the idea of throwing a shitton of orbs at this banner. Freyr was nice and showed up within 14 orbs though, so I can spare some.
EDIT: Saizo finally getting an alt is good too.

It’s worth keeping in mind that all the past ninja banners have had a class theme. 2020 had all swordmasters (except Florina), 2021 had three snipers and last year had all wyvern riders (except Fjorm).
If the left silhouette is Zelgius, then we can probably expect to see a certain female armor knight from Fodlan. The pickings for female armor knights are very slim outside of her and every Special Heroes banner has a Fodlan quota to fill.
Man, now I'm worried that Jade will be on this banner. Because I like Jade and would want to get her, but I definitely don't have the orbs to go for her. Not even if she was a 4-star special, considering that I've had some pretty bad luck on certain 4-star specials.
Also, if we get ANOTHER FUCKING EDELGARD I'll rage (for like a minute or something).

I've been hearing Peri as a suggestion over on GFaqs.
That said, I personally can't make anything of it besides 1) female, and 2) long hair pulled back
-
I know everyone hates the time discrepancy caused by going back an hour, but I actually prefer it because I can go to sleep one hour earlier. The reset being 11 PM versus midnight is a big deal for me.
-
I've been (failing at) saving orbs to try getting Freyr this month. Having Diamant on red was a nice bonus too since neither Nanna nor Felix were bad options if I got them instead.
Somehow, I did end up getting both Diamant and Freyr. Naturally, the latter is -atk, but at least I got him.
-
So, according to the update notifications, one of the 5-star options for the limited combat manuals is going to be Ninja Zihark
... who was the 4-star focus unit on his banner
... just like Halloween Kurthnaga, who was in the previous limited combat manuals ...
Yeah, I don't think I like this. ;/

I'm guessing this is just base Veyle. And I mean, why not? The actual title of "Mythic Hero" doesn't mean anything anymore when characters like Otr and Lif are apparently "Mythic".
If that was the direction they were going to go, I wonder why she's a mythic as opposed to a legendary. Also, might as well have just made both male and female Alear's base versions mythic heroes (or legendary) from the get-go since they're more mythic than Veyle is, being actual deities worshipped in Lythos. Lumera, too.
Also guess we should all expect to see a certain alt next year ... -

Fallen F!Byleth was on the Mirabilis Remix banner for what that's worth. She hasn't shown up on a banner for a new Legendary or Mythic, though.
Fair, although showing up on a remix banner doesn't usually stop them from still showing up on regular legendary/mythic banners, right? Also, I'm pretty sure they skipped Ascended Fir as well to get to Diamant. I'm not complaining, just kinda surprised they did this.
So ... is there anything about mythic Veyle that's different from a hypothetical "base Veyle"? Or is this just her base form, much like Sothis?
-
Personally, I find Veyle as a character very meh so I'm not at all excited for this. Congrats to anyone who wanted her though, I guess. Still gotta pull blue to try for Freyr though.
It's interesting that Diamant skipped the queue, wasn't fallen f!Byleth supposed to be next? Or did she already go and I forgot?
-
Can this game like ... stop giving me pity breakers that I already have instead of ACTUAL FOCUS UNITS? Or if you have to give me a pity breaker, at least give me ones that I don't already have!
This game has been pissing me off for like the last month or so.
-
Late complaint is late, but obligatory delete TMS from Resonant Battles rotation.
I didn't get Anna from the Halloween banner, there is no other Engage Harmonic, and TMS has 0 Harmonics. Why the fuck does TMS continue to take up a slot when it contributes next to nothing?

Who will they even pick for Ascended Thracia if they do a banner now that Ced has been taken? Galzus? Miranda?.... It'll probably be Reinhardt.
Sara?
I wouldn't really complain about Reinhardt getting an Ascended (since they gave Ishtar one some time ago ...) since his alts are all pretty outdated at this point but eh.
-
@Jotari Reinhardt and Eldigan and Mustafa were all on main New Hero banners (even if the first two were from near launch banners), so it's not totally unprecedented I guess.

It wouldn't have to be a banner full of them, just replacing one of the alts with a fourth proper new character to keep up with existing precedent, rather than setting a new, lower precedent. If it becomes common for banners to have only three proper new heroes, that's a lot of new additions we'll be missing out on. And even if it doesn't, we still got denied a character for little reason.
They should just drop Ascended Heroes entirely and find another way to release florets.
I stated earlier that I think they should've just cut out the Rearmed on this banner if they were going to have both Attuned Peony and Attuned Triandra. It would have been okay to delay green arcane tome by one month if they wanted to release both of the fairies. Also, Sonya is kinda the problematic element here since it is because of her presence that Marla and Hestia are even here. I highly doubt they would've released them on this specific banner had it not been for her.
Besides, there's no reason why we couldn't have had Rearmed (or Ascended, Attuned, whatever) Sonya on the next SoV banner and added her, her sisters, and Jedah as GHB all at once. The new Peony and Triandra with their shiny new gimmick and skills and limited availability could've still held up the banner even if the banner had no rearmed and we replaced Sonya, Hestia, and Marla with some combination of Jesse, base Deen, Nomah, and GHB Rudolf.
However, IS continues to allocate their female characters unintelligently.
-
... Well, I got the only actually new SoV character on the banner as my free summon!

Around July / August 2021, it came out that he (Tatsuhisa Suzuki) cheated on his wife (who, if I have my information correct, also happens to be a pretty big star in Japan) and also ended up in the hospital with health issues (which might've resulted from a botched suicide attempt, but absolutely don't quote me on that). He was on a hiatus for a while but returned from it a while ago.
Consequently, he was dropped from several different productions (one of which was apparently the Pokemon anime, a Nintendo related production) so IS probably has no clue what to do with him and his characters (because he also voices Tibarn, Ranulf and the main character of FEH himself, Alfonse).
Personally, I'm pretty sure it's no accident that the last time we've seen any of his characters get something new was in February 2021 (Day of Devotion Alfonse).
Huh, I see.
And of course Japanese media tends to not recast voice actors for whatever silly reason.

Where Sonya ranked among the Valentian characters in CYL7, for reference:
Berkut: 47th
*Catria: 68th
Desaix: 80th
Delthea: 110th
*Palla: 125th
Mae: 151st
Faye: 165th
Lukas: 177th
Rinea: 182nd
Clair: 196th
Kliff: 197th
Genny: 215th
Python: 219th
Saber: 243rd
Sonya: 252ndEven if you take out Catria and Palla, that would be 12 whole characters ahead of Sonya. Half of those characters (Mae, Rinea, Clair, Kliff, Python, Saber) only have one version and one Resplendent (Saber) between them while Desaix isn't even in FEH at all.
If it wasn't for his dipshit Japanese voice actor, this Rearmed Hero probably would've been (and definitely should've been) Berkut. I say this as someone who doesn't even like Berkut, either.
Do I dare ask what what the fuck his voice actor didAlso, damn. I thought Sonya would be more popular considering that she also got a Harmonic bunny alt. Turns out it was just the devs being horny for her. Or something. Boobs, I guess.
By the way, uh, this might be kind of important, but ... I vaguely remembered the FEH channel that introduced the 4-star special Heroes and I pulled it up again to rewatch that segment. It specifically says that going forward, Special Heroes/New Heroes summoning events will 4-star summoning events with the 3% rates. I also think they had to add an addendum later on stating that things like Fallen and Brave Heroes wouldn't get the special 4-star rate.
My question then is whether IS broke their own rules by not including a 4-star demote here in this batch, since despite the "Attuned Heroes" existing it's still being passed off as a "regular" New Heroes banner.
EDIT: I'm dumb and didn't include the link to the FEH Channel:
Skip to like 11:20

The insta-demote being Hestia suggests Marla will be in the Forging Bonds, despite being the GHB. This sets a really bad precedent.
It seems like they're trying to play Zeno's Emblem, coming increasingly close to finishing a game's playable roster without actually doing it. There's now three playable Valentia characters without regular versions, and at this rate we'll keep getting them just one at a time. Are they ever going to finish any game?
Nope.
I don't know if complaining about this to IS will make a difference at all, but maybe we should just spam their feedback button about this.
Besides, it's really shitty that TWO fairies took slots for an "Echoes" banner and yet we only get ONE extra Echoes character to compensate, and they'd rather put in non-playable unimportant female characters for these throwaway spots too when the game in question literally had four playable dudes left.
"But Hestia and Marla fit the theme with Sonya --" No one said that the Rearmed had to be Sonya. Heck, I'd argue that we didn't need a Rearmed (or Ascended) with this batch when Peony and Triandra are both stealing spots here.

>Hestia is the instademote reward
>literally three male SoV characters left (including Deen)
>two fairy OCs already making Mycen the only new SoV character on this bannerI wish the old facepalm emoji still existed on this site
-
Wow, it's like why even bother making a game about Fire Emblem Heroes with actual Fire Emblem characters from previous games, right???
If IS were smart, they could've knocked out all of the remaining playable characters left for SoV within this banner.
Also, on the one hand I get that we needed an arcane green tome at some point. On the other hand, why the fuck is Sonya getting better shit than Alm? With both Peony and Triandra here did we really need Sonya? Could've been Jesse or normal Deen
or NomahEDIT: Fuck you spell check. -
She actually kinda looks like Xander with that color palette.

I'm not upset that Heather is in the fucking game. I'm just consistently baffled at how Heroes manages to always ignore relatively popular dudes while giving female characters less popular than them so much better treatment as units. There's honestly no reason why Heather couldn't have been Stefan or Edward, who are both popular enough to place on Tellius top 5 lists consistently.
Now, I'm not saying that she should've been Stefan or Edward on this banner. But how often do we hear of male characters even getting a shot compared to female characters? Far less often. And when they are in the banner, they're less likely (if ever) to get the premium treatment that characters like Heather get. THAT is what I'm complaining about. It sucks feeling like your favorite character(s) will never make it into the game just because they're dudes, when their female counterparts of equal or even lesser popularity ranking get far more grace.
