You can think horoscopes are inaccurate and stupid irl, but that doesn't mean they're not interesting and fun to incorporate into FE lore. So you didn't actually want to know everyone's opinion. You just want to be praised for your great idea. Yeah, it doesn't work that way. And why would they be interesting or fun? From all those examples you brought up, they're on level with Old Bubba or whatever his name was. (Though he had far more presence than he deserved, imo.) And he was pretty stupid. That said, surprise, surprise, there is not one way to have fun and if you don't want to hear from people who have a different sense of fun, write that in the OP.

I never said your opinions were stupid nor that I didn't want to hear them. I simply said, yes I understand that horoscopes irl are normally dumb and inaccurate, but I enjoy the idea behind them and making headcanons. If you don't, that's okay. Now let's not turn this into an argument that results in a locked thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emeraldfox Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I got cosmic, but none of those traits fit me at all. As for affinities themselves, I wouldn't mind if they came back. But isn't the personal stat system Awakening and Fates has just a modified affinity system? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PurpleKawaii Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I got Dark. Which is actually good cause Dark is my favourite affinit, though it was close, my birthday is on the 28th XD. Quiet and intelligent are true... but Aloof and Greedy are not. Yes, affinity should return. This is my idea for affinities: In FE 4, Holy Blood affected growths, so my idea is that different affinities boosted different growths, and maybe the player being able to choose the affinity of some characters (Like the 3 initial Tier 0 units, gaiden style) and the affinity of the avatar, instead of Boon and Bane. Bonuses could also be minor or major, maybe depending if the character has royal blood or some other factor. From reading the Atributes I think these should be the bonuses (in my opinion): Fire- +10% STR (Minor) (Fierce) +15% STR and +5% Support Bonuses: C, B, A, S (Major) (Passionate) Ice- +10% SKL (Minor) (Observant) +15% SKL and +5% RES (Major) (Serene) Thunder- +10% DEF (Minor) (Bold) +15% DEF and +5% SPD (Major) (Witty) (The ability to think of jokes really fast) Wind- +10% SPD (Minor) (Flexible) +15% SPD and +5% MAG (Curious) Earth- +10% RES (Minor) (Calm) +15% RES and +5% STR (Strong) Light- +5% Support Bonuses: C, B, A, A+ (Minor) (Kind) +10% Support Bonuses: C, B, A, A+ +5% LCK (Major) (Cheerlful) Dark- +10% MAG (Minor) (Intelligent) +15% MAG and +5% SKL (Quiet) (With silence comes concentracion, and with concentracion comes hit) Cosmic- +10% LCK (Minor) (Talented) +15% LCK and +5% Critical (Major) (Serious) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragoncat Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 @PurpleKawaii Nice! The numbers make my head hurt, but I think it's awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saisymbolic Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 I'm Ice. Nice. I suppose serene would sort of describe me. I like to think patience is my one of greatest virtues, if nothing else. And, I can have those moments where I'm a tad bit more innocent (or rather, ignorant) than one my age should be. I wouldn't particularly mind if affinities came back. The horoscope thing seems fun, and I wouldn't mind if small bonuses like that returned. To be honest, I wouldn't mind if any of the features from the older games returned. As long as they are balanced for the newer games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luchi Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Hmm... guess I'm Cosmic. While I am serious most of the time, I do laugh easily. However, I probably am talented. xD Since this is kind of relevant as well, I'll post this here. Star signs of the Tellius crew Fire signs: Aries/Leo/Saggitarius Water signs: Pisces/Cancer/Scorpio Earth signs: Taurus/Virgo/Capricorn Air signs: Aquarius/Gemini/Libra Elincia - Pisces Lucia - Virgo/Earth Geoffrey - Cancer Bastian - Gemini/Wind Kieran - Aries Nephenee - Virgo Brom - Cancer Heather - Libra Calill - Leo Ike - Aries/Taurus cusp ( Earth ) if his birthday falls between 18 - 23 April, he becomes a cusp, having traits of both signs. I put it as the 20th of April to coincide with FE9's Japanese release. Mist - Pisces/Water Titania - Cancer Soren - Capricorn Boyd - Aries/Fire Oscar - Virgo/Earth Rhys - Aquarius Shinon - Leo Gatrie - Libra Mia - Aries/Fire Tanith - Capricorn/Earth Largo - Gemini Sigrun - Pisces/Water Nolan - Capricorn/Earth Edward - Saggitarius Leonardo - Aquarius Zihark - Cancer Ilyana - Food. No seriously, she has NO personality. Meg: Saggitarius Fiona: Capricorn/Earth Added Nephenee, Brom, Meg and Fiona Perfect zodiac sign matches: According to astrology-zodiac-signs.com Pisces x Virgo ( Elincia/Lucia ) - 86% "true love" Pisces x Cancer ( Elincia/Geoffrey ) - 72% "love at first sight" Taurus x Capricorn ( Ike/Soren ) - 89% "unbreakable bond" Two Earths are indestructible. That's why the Earth affinity is so broken... Leo x Gemini ( Calill x Largo ) - 82% "solid foundation of childish joy." Not so compatible: Virgo x Aries ( Oscar/Kieran ) - EarthxFire Virgo x Gemini - ( Lucia/Bastian ) - 40% Amusing in hindsight, tbqh. Though I'm still puzzled why Elincia's affinity was Heaven. Seeing as her retainers already made up 3/4 of the primary elements, Elincia being Water would have rounded it off nicely. And it's just a better affinity.

Light and ice, I put them that way because...well, put an ice cube in sunlight or under a lamp and see what happens. Like I said, it's a crapshoot. For every person who says "those traits don't describe me" there are people who find them accurate. @tailfin Awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Light and ice, I put them that way because...well, put an ice cube in sunlight or under a lamp and see what happens. Why should I, personally, use your affinity chart again when your horoscope describes over 80% of people I checked against it (including myself and my closest friends) completely and totally inaccurately? And why should I use a horoscope that wholly fails to amuse me because it doesn't even list Shin's affinity and my affinity as being compatible? More importantly, I don't think your characteristics for your affinities are well thought out. They are too specific, and you sound more like you're trying to describe some base characteristics for certain characters rather than general human traits. Because people are so widely diverse, you need to find more generic "catch all" traits but phrase them in a way that makes them sound different from one another. You're just basically describing characters. Also, "kind", "intelligent", "innocent", and "talented" are not personality traits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragoncat Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 I see. I respect that. You don't have to use it. I wasn't aiming for it to be perfect anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
