As a girl I can't help but feel like there's something very uncomfortable about people acting like a female character having obvious breasts as somehow inherently sexual/fanservice-y you know...
-
Well they've got more talent than the people who've tried to "redesign" them. Could you do better?

I don't think Alear even has amnesia. I think Alear has brain fog from being asleep for so long. Like, who wouldn't? Of course if he does have amnesia it could be connected to why he was asleep for so long in the first place. We don't really know yet.
It just occurred to me after I posted that it could be the Doylist reason for him to have amnesia if he really does have it might not be because he's the one who people need to exposit about the world building to, but because he participated in defeating the Fell Dragon the first time around and there might be things the writers don't want him to remember right away about that.

Like, I get that supports can be a pain to make for a game with a big cast, but supports are still kinda important. They might not lend themselves to developing the main characters "organically" but the main characters already have the whole game for that. What supports do help with is characterizing the members of your army who stop being important after the map they're introduced in. That's why they've become such a major part of FE since the GBA era. I feel like it's not really a good idea not to include them.

It's possible it's just part of the armor. Falcoknights through most of the series also had the pegasi with horns, but it was part of the armor. So it could be the same here... or it might truly be a unicorn, perhaps.
Ah, yeah. It does look like it might just be part of the armor. But it would be cool if it really was a unicorn. I don't think I've seen that type of armor headpiece on a non-pegasus before.
-
Anyway, no one seems to have mentioned this and admittedly I just noticed it myself, but Alfred's horse is a unicorn. I wonder if that's significant? We've had pegasi in the series since the beginning, but I think this is the first time there's been unicorns in an FE game.

I still think you guys wouldn't be saying this shit if Alear were a regular Lord character and not an "Avatar." You guys need to shut up and stop judging the game when we don't know anything about it. People thought Three Houses was going to suck too.
None of the above stated reasons mean the story will suck. You're just making blind assumptions based on prejudice.

I don't get what benefit we derive from arguing so much about what does and doesn't count as an avatar.
I do, seeing as the fact that they're perceived as an avatar is the primary reason people are reacting so negatively to them. I still don't think people would be so upset about them being a divine dragon otherwise, even though it gives a justified reason for the other characters worshiping them, more so than any of the others have had or maybe because of that.
Personally I say no they don't count as a self-insert at this point. At least any more than any other protagonist in an rpg where you can change their name and gender of which there are many and the fans of those games don't get so up their own asses about it.
-
People need to stop pre-judging them just because "they're an avatar." They're not even an Avatar. The only customization is their gender and possibly name and they actually talk. We've literally only had one trailer. Maybe we should give them a chance. Would anyone being this upset over them being a divine dragon if they weren't "an avatar?" So the main character of a JRPG is a super special chosen one. Whoop-d-doo. That's almost every JRPG protagonist.
No one whines about other non-"avatar" lords being worshipped by the rest of the army.

Also Tsundere are errors of nature and shouldn't exist, Yandere are better written than them. That's how stupid tsunderes are.
2Someone has shit taste.
Jokes aside, I feel like I have to agree that most of the recurring archetypes are a given. I don't know why anyone would think Claude and Dimitri would be the Cain/Abel pair though since they're already lords. I wonder whether each of them will get their own Cain and Abel like with Alm and Celica or if there's only going to be one pair? Probably only one pair if they're going the FE7 route like I think/hope.
I'm predicting some teacher/student romance tropes involving Byleth and Edelbarn, probably a bit with the other two lords too if he really is an avatar character and can be female, but mostly Edelbarn due to the way she talks to him, especially at the end.
There's going to be at least three pegasus knights who may or may not be sisters, but if they are we might be seeing the triangle attack again. Though maybe not, I don't know how that'll work with the new formation system.

She still doesn't really look like the goddess from the mural though.
-
I think the important woman from the trailer is actually a descendant of Seiros, the prophet who is mentioned in the legend at the beginning of the trailer. Mainly because she has a sword that looks like the one the woman who is probably Seiros is holding in the mural of the Goddess. Either that or she could be Seiros herself if it turns out Seiros is a Manakete. Either way, I really doubt she's the goddess.
-
I kind of feel like Healers/Stave users wouldn't have troops either. It seems like all the troops wield the same weapon types as the unit they're following and it would be a bit weird/funny to see a whole hoard of healers running around together like that.

My stance on the petting mini-game still sits firmly in the camp of "I thought it was dumb, but it was even more dumb they removed it because censorship is never okay," but let's not get into that again (I wish more and more every day that America wasn't so Protestant though).
... Or, no. I will get into that. Tell it to me straight: Would you be talking like this if they'd removed the same sex S supports for Niles and Rahjat with Corrin? If you say that's different than you lose, because it isn't. There are some people who still think that homosexuality isn't appropriate for children so that could be said to be a thing that could affect the game's rating and range of sales too, if this game had come out a few years earlier. If you're okay with someone removing something from a piece of media because it makes you personally uncomfortable, then you have no right to say that other people can't do the same just because their views on what isn't appropriate don't align with yours. This is why censorship is bad, period.

I don't think FEH should be counted since Gatcha games are the most common type of Japanese mobile game and it's not in the same category as DLC in a non-mobile game.
That said, I hope they'll tone it down a bit with the DLC, but I won't exactly hold my breath.
-
We already have an Isekai FE. It's called FE Heroes.
-
I sort of agree actually (even if I still don't think the original support was "gay conversion therapy"). Either that or have Corrin offer the drug to her instead of spiking her drink with it, because the fact that he did that was the dumbest part.

Soleil is written as a coded lesbian and Corrin spikes her drink to make her less attracted to them so she can be more comfortable with a man like him. The conversion therapy and date rape parrallels are there, but it's written like it's supposed to be quirky and funny.
1He didn't do it so she'd more attracted to him. He did it because her attraction to women was actually affecting her combat performance so that she was literally fainting in battle. It also made it so that all the men in the army looked like women to her. It was still dumb of him to spike her drink with it, but it's not "gay conversion therapy." He was just trying to help her get more used to being around cute girls so she'd stop fainting, which isn't the same as making her less attracted to them.

I at least expect that there's a very good chance that we won't get children again. Even if they keep S Supports and the Avatar, which wouldn't surprise me, the second gen units for Fates weren't as well received as the ones in Awakening and there's only so many ways they can justify them in-universe without having another Geneology style plot. I also think the story should be better at least because they're not likely to do the "three whole games worth of different story scenarios" thing again.

player worship via funny looking avatar character
I know this is a bit off topic, but as a Sonic fan, I feel I need to interject here. For one thing, the developer given reason for why the avatar in Forces looks so weird is because they "didn't want the player to be able to make a character cooler than Sonic/the canon cast." More importantly, I really wouldn't call the way the Rookie is treated in Forces player worship. Sonic is the only member of the cast who consistently says anything positive about them (and honestly I don't think that's bad since the Rookie is portrayed as having self-confidence issues and Sonic is clearly just trying to encourage them). Pretty much every single Avatar stage has at least one character say some permutation of "are you sure the Rookie can handle this?" And while they do congratulate them for doing a good job, it never comes off as anywhere near the level of My Unit characters in the FE games that have had them and I say this as someone who mostly has no problem with My Unit (so long as they don't make them the main lord again).

Dream Drop Distance isn't a bad game though.
-
It kind of annoys me how people keep talking about wanting a serious or dark story like that's the same thing as a good story. What we should want is a good/ well-written story first and foremost. The problem with Fates especially was that it wasn't well written, not that it wasn't serious enough. It's inability to balance the more serious aspects of the story with the sillier stuff was part of it being badly written.

- No children. I did not play FE4 so I don't know how well they work there, but they were garbage in awafates. In Awakening they are interesting characters for the most part, but I hate how their relationship with their parents is portrayed (seriously. If you show up in the present with similar ages then it makes no sense whatsoever to automatically treat each other by a father-son basis. it never felt natural to me except for main plot!Lucina, but it still shows up in her supports.) and I specially hate how monotone your army turns out because of them. In older games you are always gaining new allys with diverse origins, while awafates has the playable cast cut in half. And the worst part is how powerful they are when compared to their parents with basically forces you to use them and, in harder playthroughts, you barely grow attached to your units because you are rushing to create the perfect army to deal with that lunatic run.
8That point about how the 1st Gen characters treat the 2nd Gen characters in supports is interesting and I think I sort of agree with it. It does seem a bit weird for them to be so comfortable treating each other like parent and child when they're so close in age. It sort of reminds me of Sailor Moon and how they handled the Child From the Future plotline. Whenever Chibiusa goes back into the past to visit Usagi they treat each other more like sisters than mother and daughter and that felt like it made more sense (and is also pretty hilarious to watch). Of course, I think part of that is because Usagi and Neo Queen Serenity act so differently that it's easy for Chibiusa to treat them like they're different people, but still.

I don't really like the idea of the game being revealed at E3. If they do that, no one will pay attention to it because it'd be sharing the spotlight with Smash. I hope there's still a chance for something before that.

That just sounds even worse. Also blatantly untrue. Also, what's even wrong with letting men have things anyway? People act like men will turn into rape monsters and stop thinking women are people if they see a boob like a red flag to a bull. Doesn't anyone think women want to have cute avatars too? What's even the point of having a male and female option if they look the same?
