To make her stay first I take it. I actually wonder if it was good of them to release that info on their twitter. I can see even more people voting for those three people (Ike, Lucina, Lyn) since they have already high chances to win and people can make an impact after they released that list.

Yes, it's very likely (I'd say 99%) that you get the hearts on a unit if you've favorited them. :) Thanks for finding it, I'm very thirsty. You're not the only one, I'm just glad my windows were shut... I was so sad I didn't get to hear more of him as Cor in Final Fantasy XV, but this is a welcome addition :3.

Hmm, fair enough. I agree that Eliwood has more personal issues that unravel through the story and that he's central of the game because of that. I do feel that because of the screen time and the different modes that the game has, all three of them are lords and certainly more than side characters (I know, you didn't say that, just putting it out there ^^). Anyway, thanks for the explanation, good answer! :)

I would consider all three (Lyn, Eliwood, Hector) of Blazing Sword to be 'real' lords personally. Unless you see their own modes as different games that is.

I feel like the 'is irrelevant to the story' argument goes for 90+% of all characters. I don't think that's fair to hold against them. I guess the tag of 'Lord' does raise the expectation bar quite a lot.

I know a person from reddit who's going to atleast put up youtube video's. Is it okay to link it? Edit: Feel free to delete it if it's against the terms of the forums and apologies in that case ^^.

Yep, totally agree. I actually like that they don't count the votes different versions of the same characters together or I have the feeling Ike would be winning overwhelmingly and overpowering everyone else thanks to all the publicity he has in multiple games. I think it's both nostalgia (FE7 was my first FE game too and I think still the one I played most) and the fact that's she's a 'cool swordmaster type lord'. That always seem to attract people.

-Votes for Ranulf- Our green and purple eyed, blue haired kitten needs some pettings votes :3

While that is true, it's probably going to take quite a while since the special outfit Ike will be released, since they'll start working on it (animations / art) after the poll has ended and the game has started and her fear was that her favorite characters wouldn't be available from the start. Still, you're right that if he's one of your favorite characters, it's a good thing :). I also didn't expect Lyn to be there btw, if anyone would be in the top from FE7, with the amount of people I hear voting for Hector, I was sure it would be him xD. I like Lyn and Ike, Lucina is fine too, but definitly not in my top favorites. I guess with me liking a whole lot of characters from the games, I'll probably be happy with whoever ends up on top xD. Edit: @Elieson Congrats! =D Onto the next ten thousand? :3

Unrelated, but ugh, Brave Exvius. I played the game and got severely screwed on pulls, with about 200 pulls, both earned and spent, and ending up without even one 5* (Don't even talk about getting a 6*...). After playing for about a month, they got a new event where you could earn stuff. Eventhough my team wasn't the best, I spend a lot of time and dedication leveling my characters up, building a decent team composition and farming items and weapons, I was sure I could rake up some points and earn items if I spend enough time on the lower level events and earn points. The realisation that I couldn't even do the 'novice' level event (let alone, the four higher ones) made me instantly delete the game. I still wake up at night sweating in fear...

Hmm, I wonder. Actual supports, with the faces of the supporting characters, would make sense then. It could be that characters have affinity with three other characters and the faces show up as you unlock / get them through gatcha pulls and hero battles. That, or the circle is just a placeholder for the type of skills you have, and it fills up when you equip a skill.

That's true, they could have just kept those white like the other stat letters. Each letter might have use for a different skill, like Passive (A) - Battle (B) - Support (C) skills, and you can only pick one of each or something like that. Just a thought.

Hmm, it's probably either because: A: The character is 5*'s and cannot go further, which is why they show the 4* one, B: This is the screen right after the unit is ranked up Also, I have the strange feeling level-ups will not be random in this game... :c Yes, but if you look above that you can see that the character is already 5*'s.

You might also get a (few) orb for just logging on daily. Tales of Link (The Tales of version of this game) gives like 3 hero stones (5 = a character pull) per day on average. It also gives one orb for clearing each new story mission and a few on chapter completion. It really adds up fast that way. Not sure if this game will have that, but I hope so.

That's awesome xD. I wonder how many of these references I would get, it's been quite a while since I played some of the older games. I'll be counting on all of you great people to get those and put them on here :3.

Ah, I agree. I could see reasons for in- or exluding him aswell. For one, he could pull a lot of buyers on a banner I'm sure. I do agree with Ana though that it would be a bit disappointing if noone from Tellius would be available at the start, which for some is the fear since we haven't seen any of them in the trailers/Direct yet I believe. I absolutely loved those games, I would definitly like some Laguz :3.

I'm not Anacybele, so maybe I shouldn't say anything, but I'm fairly sure she said that she did not want to have all content released at the start (as everyone would hopefully see that's a bad marketing strategy), but just that she hopes they didn't exlude whole games/worlds from day one, like Tellius. Which I think is kinda a valid, personal concern.

I'm fairly certain it's for unlocked skills. Below them is even the 'skill list option'. Basically, you unlock skills with SP and can equip three of them.

Truth. The bond you get is from the previous games you've played with them. They might also get some lines as 'guest characters' for story purposes in the story or side quests / events.

Hmm, I'm imagining like in most gacha's, they just have certain lines for getting summoned, leveling up, attacking, etcetera. Complete silence would be a major letdown, but I don't think things like supports will be in this game.

Are you sure that Stahl begins only at 1*? Seeing as how Robin can start at atleast 3*, 4* or 5*, there's a good chance Stahl might start higher too, right? :) I believe Navarre is recruitable from a Hero Battle aswell, atleast that's what it looked like in the Nintendo Direct. Edit: Ah, I see Stahl is recruitable as a one-star in a Hero Battle in the Direct. It could be that there are multiple Hero Battle difficulties though, which possibly can let you recruit Stahl at more stars.

It's a combination of what you just said, plus the users personality. Some people will probably keep only 4 - 5* units. Others want to try and keep all the units, from one star and up, especially since they can be promoted to higher stars in this game. I'm not sure if this has already been talked about a lot, but I wonder if the game will still work with RNG. We know there's no skill stat anymore, but I wonder how and if RNG is involved in level-ups...

I'm just wondering, why do you think there are not enough people that find the current content all interesting? Is it based off of a poll of likeable / favorite FE or just your gut feeling? Genuinly interested, no hate. Also, I saw that you said that you weren't gonna buy the game in this state. But isn't the game free with optional purchases?

Just completed Lunatic Mode (Classic) and Oh. My. God, that was hard. The game says I spend roughly 40 hours on the playthrough, but it's at least double that with all the resetting involved. Also, damn that final chapter was hard. Tried it like 10 times, then grinded for a bit and came back. Still hard, even with most of the stats on my units maxed out. In the end, I just went straight for the boss with a couple of galeforces and had some luck in skill activations and took him down. Afraid to touch Lunatic+ mode now though...

You notice the gameplay mechanic, but you didn't notice the Assassin, Swordmaster and Hero (probably) stand for Jaffar, Lloyd and Linus, her friends in the Black Fang? xD
