Nanima Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 2 minutes ago, Arthur97 said: But they specifically said female Robin wouldn't be in the story mode. And it makes more sense given the duality of Fates and how each Corrin was associated with one family. Just because it could make sense doesn't mean it's a good move. At the end of the day, both Corrin and Robin are avatar characters, marketed with both genders. Going full choice with one pair while leaving the other only as a costume is going to make a chunk of the fandom really mad and disappointed. You can just say "F!Robin is a costume lol" and then go "Corn gets full cutscenes and dialogue times two, cause themes and stuff." without alienating the Awakening fanbase.

Azure Sen Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 (edited) I am pretty neutral on this, despite liking Sakura and preferring m!Corrin's design to f!Corrin's. Probably because I'm completely burnt out on Fates reveals; in hindsight, choosing to reveal the majority of the roster from each game in large chunks like this was a terrible idea. 33 minutes ago, Thany said: nah, theres defedently going to be more swords if theres any hope for marth having ANY allies appear before the game starts Each game's roster comes from early in the game, not before it. Since that seems to indicate around chapter 6 in Fates and Chapter 7 in Awakening, there's plenty of non-swordie allies of Marth's for them to choose from: Gordin, Draug, Cain and Abel, Hardin, Caeda, Matthis, Wrys, Lena, Barst, etc. etc. Edited September 5, 2017 by AzureSen I hate Matthis so much I forgot how to spell his name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I...feel the prevalence of swords might be overexaggerated List of every sword main in Shadow Dragon. (Units more proficient with another weapon excluded) Quote Marth Cain Ogma Julian Navarre Rickard Athena Caesar Radd Astram That's 10 sword mains of 22 swordsmen in a cast of 59. While I don't doubt the chances of one of Cain / Ogma / Navarre getting in, the idea that Marth has next to no non-sword-wielding friends is a little silly to me. And hey, there's the off-chance that all 9 swords mains not named Marth get axed so he can pull from the pool of his other 49 friends. :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making a rendered scene with two character models set to not render is pretty simple, especially if it's for a snippet like a trailer.

HK Motendra Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Coolio. Tho if they're going with the duality present with the two Corrins then would it be safe to assume that Male Corrin promotes to Hoshido Noble and Female Corrin to Nohr Noble? 1 hour ago, BlizzardWolf95 said: inb4 Ogma and Navarre YES PLZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tactician_Iris Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 It's nice to see the confirmation, Sakura is my favourite Hoshidan royal so I'm glad she got her spot (plus bows are my favourite weapons in games - so archer variety is welcome to me) - I guess the next roster update on the JP website will have a trailer for both Sakura and M!Corrin.And with these two in I've basically secured Co-op playing this with my brother - Sakura is his favourite BR character so that makes me extra happy.

Also I wonder if Validar will actually play a part or just have a quick cameo to help set up the Awakening characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iridium Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 oh boy, worst lord is in twice, and might even be plot relevant unlike female robin, what a joke But I guess the other two might be okay. Sakura is the only royal I like, and Validar is a fair choice for a villain due to his character connections (relationship with Robin, parallels with Chrom, etc.) and moveset. It concerns me that they're still waiting to show off Azura, though; might they be withholding her for DLC, or worse, are we due for even more Fates announcements before we finally get to Shadow Dragon?

I had hoped something like this would make it in somehow - like those reward maps revisiting scenarios in HW but more substantial - this sounds like it fits the bill.

While I loved Adventure mode the reward maps were a lot better for me and I'm glad it is somewhat being expanded upon. I do hope if there are side missions they are treated like the Treasure Evens in Pirate Warriors.

Corbin Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 (edited) So Sakura is in, that's good, and it's likely the upcoming pages will reveal M!Corrin and Azura's full art. On the subject of the former, I think he's also going to be a glorified skin like F!Robin, especially since it seems nonsensical to reveal him this late if he's part of the main five. So that leaves four more characters for Awakening and ten for SD, meaning we are likely going to have a total of at least 32 characters. This is a pretty good number of characters on its own, though I personally hope they're also reserving some characters for the game's reveal.

Thany Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 cadea used sword in the first game right? we still dont know if they are using the DS version of shadow dragon or the NES version. regardless i hope they reveal marths party soon or else hes gonna feel very lonely.

Validar does have an emotional connection via Robin compared to Walmart and Gangreen being more Chrom-based. At the very least he's not confirmed as a playable option yet...

I was never expecting Gharnef, Camus was always going to be the SD villain, he's nearly as recurring as Tiki. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that Validar's confirmed, I could see Gharnef being a semi-clone of him. Though it would be kinda boring to have two villains who are pretty similar I think. I'm still hoping for Camus though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Termina adventure map in Hyrule Warriors Lana also takes on the role of Skul kid so its possible that Validar will fill the role of Gharnef. The history mode could be merely thematic rather then completely accurate. It sure is likely but not 100% certain yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
