Ownagepuffs Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 What does it matter if they have blue hair or any previous characteristics? A bland character is a bland character regardless of gender or hair color. If we get a red head female who is royalty and uses swords who gets a plot sword near the end to defeat the dragon, what changes? That we get a pair of tits to look at? I'm not against the idea of a female lord but I've never been a fan of different for the sake of being different. Branching paths would be great. Denam from Tactics Ogre is the best Lord.

Logience Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Except "being different for the sake of being different" at least lets fans and the companies look at the sales figures as general attitude towards the different. Risks need to be taken when a market starts to grow stagnant, and apart from Steam, there's just no risks being taken anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alertcircuit Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Yeah, I also think it's time we had a Lord with more personality. Too many bland Ikes and "nobles who don't act like nobles". I want something a little newer in that department. Chrom was better than Marth or Ike (although Marth had interesting character development in Shadow Dragon) but he was still a bit lacking. Micaiah was also more of a step in the right direction. I feel that Hector was the closest to what I'm looking for, with him having specific pronounced personality traits (his rudeness, etc.) Of course, the new Lord's personality shouldn't be like Hector's because repetition is something the Fire Emblem series has enough of. What's important is that we get a Lord that's different in not just looks, but in action too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 Oh yeah, no more dragon villains please. We've seen enough. Even Tellius sort of had them in the form of Dheginsea and his troops. Dragon laguz among the enemies is fine, I just don't want any final bosses to be dragons. >.> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chloe Neo Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) isn't every final boss and I mean every final boss in fire emblem a giant evil dragon or monster apart from radiant dawn and path of radiance.

Topazd Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 isn't every final boss and I mean every final boss in fire emblem a giant evil dragon or monster apart from radiant dawn and path of radiance. FE4 & FE5 also had non-Dragons as final bosses (although Julius did wield the Loptyr tome), but other than those four, yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Stewart Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I'd like him to have brown hair and be named Runan and pal around with a bow-wielding pirate named Holmes. Really though I just want him/her to not be Chrom A red-haired female lord would absolutely make my day. Jill for next FE lord. But I really just want a female lord who keeps her spotlight. Eirika is the only one so far who could be said to have that. I'm fine with almost anything else they do so long as she's well-written and not oversexualized. Doesn't Celica fit both of those criteria to an extent? though going by her DLC art her hair is more pink than red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topazd Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 that's another thing whats with Nintendo and dragons they have them as final bosses but never as normal bosses Well, there were regular dragon bosses in FEs 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12.

FrostyFireMage Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I'd like another Lord that isn't a Gary Stu doesn't destroy everything in her/his path and is more support-orientated like Leif or Micaiah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cliche is used so much that no one really cares about it anymore. Plus, Manaketes are fun to use and challenging to fight.

Tryhard Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) I haven't played Gaiden, but I was told Alm was as or more prominent in the story. Well, Celica is the lord of her party, which is essentially half of the game, so she is quite important. It's half and half between her and Alm. Alm is technically the "hero" of the story but Celica is pretty boss too. If you want just a sole female lord you may be waiting for a long time.

Chloe Neo Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 isn't gaiden extremely short and a side story to the first fe game as gaiden in Japanese means side story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tryhard Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) isn't gaiden extremely short and a side story to the first fe game as gaiden in Japanese means side story. It does mean side story, but it's on a completely different continent with completely different characters and few ties to FE1 (aside from a few, the pegasus sisters etc). It's not that short, actually. It's a decent length. Especially if you want to grind, as there are grindable skirmishes.

I still can't understand how Squeenix managed to take a risk as big as that, even if this was BEFORE Call of Duty took over the world. Though how they at first pretended that "everyone is the protagonist" for a while did seem predictable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, Manaketes are fun to use and challenging to fight. I never said to cut dragons from the series completely. Hell, I love the dragon laguz and find them badass (manaketes are boring compared to them imo though, sorry). I'm just tired of so many villains being dragons. that's another thing whats with Nintendo and dragons they have them as final bosses but never as normal bosses Volvagia in Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Argorok in Zelda: Twilight Princess say hi.
