gone

Well, if you don't mind that is.

This was a failed riddle attempt to add Python - seems I'm not good at those.

While it's nice to see Hugh, Wolt and Erk on this list, he is sorry for not beeing the prefered outcome and wishes to get his arm twisted.

Before I get to the my answer, I would like to point out that the overall appeal to CYL has downgraded a lot. With the introduction of monthly "legendary heroes" and a safe spot for alts in "new" hero banners, the idea in having a special version of voted character seems less exciting. Take CYL2 for example. Besides new skills, the most wanted character seemed to be Veronica and that for a good reason. A lot of the hype went straight down the moment IS introduced legendary forms of voted heroes before CYL2. Die- Hardcore- Fans of specific heroes may be satisfied but certainly not the masses at current state. If anything the "Losers" of CYL3 are indication of what people wish from these events (e.g. Laguz / Shapeshifters). My predictions: Males: Marth - Alm - OCs Females: Eirika - Micaiah - Nino - OCs

Celica's stand-out artwork caught me by surprise. IMO it's the best art she has in hereos right now. The transition from Echoes into Gaiden artwise, shows how talented Hidari is (I really do hope he shows up for more artwork and the next Echoes title).

If we can't have Waluigi for Smash, at least give us Deltre for FEE3 2k18

Some of my first impressions summed up: - the game title Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Two Doors and One Key (looks more filled now, doesn't it) - story seems to have potential - gameplay looks interesting - character art & design is okay, but nothing outstanding or particular unique (the modern artstyle and the mideavel setting is somthing that has to grow on me, I guess) - the singing was good That's it for now.

While I agree that CQ is a huge step up in terms of mapdesign in comparison to Awakening, it should be mentioned that it's nowhere near to perfection. The likes of Chapter 19, 20 and 24 are way more tedious than challening, which I personally don't consider good gamedesign. The "Dueling Arena with Xander/Ryoma" had only story purposes and caused the actual map more trouble than favour. The only time I felt Dragon Veins came in handy was in Chapter 21, for all other attempts it was more an indicator for questionable gimmicks (Revelations says hello). CQ is a huge step in the right direction, but I don't see having it the "perfect formular" for the franchise. Nevertheless it's nice to see that IS is trying to come up with new ideas for better or worse (+ acknowledging it's flaws). The turnwheel is as optional as Casual & Phoenix Mode, Grinding maps and the my-room-feature. If I don't like - I simply don't use it. The idea of how Fire Emblem should be played, has changed many times before. This trend started way back in time and it makes little sense to call out SoV for it when earlier titles did the same thing before.

This is mindblowingly amazing you guys, once again thanks for your dedicated & hard work. I can't have enough of Hidari's artwork. Eyecandy wherever you look at. This actually happened, right ?

Echoes is proof that IS hasn't lost touch with creating games that feel refreshing and their abbilitiy to come up with new game mechanics. Furthermore the presentation is of the best the series has and that's all on 3DS. It's the best sign that FE won't become a Loopfest of blatant fanservice you wish for (or you stick with Heroes I guess).

A musthave in gachas so I guess you have to deal with it what bothers me is the huge focus on them ( especially in combination with the legendary banners) actual new content to be added lasts way more than popping out those (the lack of presentation = actual new heroes,GHB's besides) so overall it's more a curse than a blessing for me in the longrun if I had to give an honest opinion, I would say that their announcements are less exciting the more they appear

People actually believe this. By that logic Heroes 1.0 and Echoes were dumb moves by IS. Calling them popular titles seems kinda wrong, am I right?

Dragon Veins: with an exception here and there most of them were pretty annoying (they are also probably the reason I never finished Revelation) Biorythm: while being a more realistic feature I would rather have my units in a permanent decent condition than up & downs in a difficult situation Pair Up: Fates had a nice improvement in this regard, still I don't see the need for such a mechanic (it felt more like highlighter for the games shipping aspects)

It maybe stretchy, but we can clearly see where the "inspiration" came from. This banner is the prime example that new banners from now on will be alternate for the money banners. There is a trust issue when you depending on big faces to get those figures safely. There are so many great characters left to be added but they will never see a spotlight, because all we will get are the 10th version of Chrom or Lucina. You can't even blame them, it's gatcha after all.

I'm glad to see Gerome. Don't care about Morgans. IS has some serious trust issues in it's fanbase. Every new heroes banner has to have at least one safe card duplicate or maybe simply to get that cash. Chrom's Design is a Sigurd ripoff.

I'm with you on this one. At least we got Hardin. Seems like every "new" banner will be special heroes. To get actual new units will be a pain it seems. Now that every banner has to have at least one save route character. Seperating new banners at this rate is pointless. There is no guideline. It's all about special units.

Finally more FE7. I'm looking forward to following (hopefully new) artworks of: Erk (move over Pent) Nils (same goes for you Ninian) Dart (Fargus would be an amazing out of nowhere pick) also more Black Fang, please: Legault, Uhai and Denning Wil Leila (obviously we need best NPC) Geitz May Doma bless me and grant me my wishes.

"I don't see how any of them are shoved into your face" is far away from concrete, it leaves me way to much room for interpretation. Look, i'm glad you like the fates cast. You can also compare it with other cast's, no problem here. Saying Sacred's Stones cast is "averege" with little reasoning is a deep cut in comparison with fates one. If you dig enough into their supports, I would say FE8's cast is as colorful as Fates'. But we're clearly viewing this from a subjective angle, so I leave it by that. By the hit or miss logic it also means people hate Ike for the exact same reason, which was my intend for Odin and Selena. It's more that I struggle to see your reasoning behind certain topics than the fact we're disagreeing. The conversation itself is a greater goal than the right answer for me, so I gladly thank you for that.

I fail to see how Elise (has her moments) and, I actually can't believe I have to mention; Camilla are not shoved into your face. (their ingame CGs basically force you to like them) Going into Supports, a character like Niles is a way to hard attempt from Nintendo to please a section of it's fanbase. Odin (while I prefer Owain) and Selena are also hit or miss personas (when you look up to their receptions by the community). Lucky enough ,especially Selena improved, thanks to her fates supports. Fates has a decent amount of characters but saying it has hardly flaws is ridiculous and ignorant.

I'm confused. You say you don't like the impulsive type of characters but then you list the most in-your-face personalities fates has to offer? By "average" you mean less one-dimensonal, right? A friendly reminder of this kind tells me a lot of your confidence in your arguments. 1. I never saw FE8's plot highly praised. 2. Let's be honest here. So were most of the current villains that IS threw at us in all 3DS games. 3. Lyon beeing warshipped for that reason, I can fully agree on. 4. Awakenings plot is literally an updated version of Sacred Stone's. I feel this is a rather weak comparison. 5. Agreed.

To be honest, I didn't even dig that deep. I see Leon and Niles are Nintendo's attempt to please a certain target group of gamers. Leon as a gay character felt way more naturally to me than Niles did (im clearly not here to discuss fates writing, but imo characteres like Niles are suffering from it, cause they pushed him way to hard) when it came to writing. So to clear things up, the way nintendo presented the "gay" character to me felt more genuine in Echoes compared to Niles (whatever sexual orientation he may have). That's fine, it's a different topic in that regard anyway.

It's no surprise to me at all. Python's character feels way more realistic and relateable than Leon's. I'm not implying he's a bad character (huge step up in comparsion to Niles in terms of writing), but Leon's supports are mainly focused on his crush on valbar and the idealization of a man (which in this case is a very personal/individual topic and therefore less appealing to a mass audience, I believe). Second indicator would probably be his astonishing Voice Actor: Doug Erholtz.

I see, that rightful master of sass is breaking through. I'm warming up his seat in my hereos team already.

I admit, especially this support is proof not to generalize my statement. Funnily enough I think the HectorxFlorina support has an awkward charme to it, but I definetly can see your point of view here. True words.

Let's see what I can bring to the table: S-Supports shouldn't have conversations (similar to the A+ Supports for indication). Contentwise most of them are pretty bad (GBA and SoV are prime examples that romances can be established without them) Lucina (honorable mention: Yarne) is one of the least interesting child untis awakening has to offer, while Brady is shining the most Nils > Ninian I love FE4's oversized maps I enjoy using Wolt in FE6 and Wil in FE7 Python is not that bad gameplaywise as people tend to make him look like
