????? Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Right now on Fire Emblem Heroes we just had a mini tempest focused on Blazing Sword. Lyn was the bonus unit alongside her bros and ninian. Who were also available for the banner. Voting Gauntlet had Lyn as one of the participants. And finally she had her alt CYL costume alongside Ike, Roy and Lucina. Weather you like heroes or not, most of the casual audience is playing the game and Lyn getting this ridiculous amount of attention recently really helped her. Come that second to last day of the mini tempest... Lyn gets confirmed on warriors. If you're playing fire emblem heroes you might know that on the 23rd we start the BIG Tempest of Path of Radiance, with more characters from tellius and Ike taking the spotlight once more. On the 23rd... theres a Character reveal on TGS. With Marth's seiyuu himself present. Add the- live action commercial of Ike vs the Black Knight. And its a recipe for massive Ike hype. IF it really is build up for him. It has come to my understanding that after the Lyn situation, Heroes is really marketing Fire Emblem pretty well for the mainstream audience. Thoughts?

Heruseus Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I agree wholeheartedly. It works out really well and I was thinking the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tolvir Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 (edited) I never even thought about that. Interesting little coincidence really. There is a chance, guess only time will tell. I'll take Ike, hell I would take just about any Tellius character, Oliver included. Edited September 14, 2017 by Tolvir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur97 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 (edited) Honestly, I kind of wanted a break from all the Lyn after Heroes, but then they shove this in my face. (Though I did finally pull a normal Lyn for all her mediocrity). Edited September 14, 2017 by Arthur97 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also helps this is the first Tempest Trial that starts after the usual expected days (14-16th)... And has hype built with the Brave Heroes and the Black Knight vs Ike commercial as you said... It's very hard to believe this is a coincidence... this has some meaning... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
????? Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 Ike vs Black knight commercial gives me the reason to believe even the BLACK KNIGHT himself might actually be considered. The Boss focus on the blazing sword tempest was Hector. So Heroes focused to give Hector a bit of the limelight since there's a chance that only LYN was gonna be picked. PoR tempest on the other hand. Final boss. Most likely the Black Knight himself. Ike vs Black Knight also fits extremely well for fanservice in history mode. Aaaaand don't forget the Black Knight got a MII COSTUME on Smash bros. Wii U. it almost feels like they're not gonna pass this up. It's too perfect. With these 2 events focusing on Ike and Lyn, Lucina in the vanilla game. It really leds me to believe that Roy is most likely DLC. Alm is up in the air though, he easily has the worse chances at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I forgot about the Ike vs Black Knight stuff going on lately... And that IS a pretty iconic fight that's just asking for History Mode representation. I hope this does mean Ike is in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all I need to know. Why would Marth's voice actor reveal Ike? He would reveal someone like Tiki or Caeda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ike could be revealed on the day Xander and Lianna's voice actress. Just saying the timing is pretty right for Ike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandee Leone Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 (edited) Just seems odd that they would marth's voice actor to reveal Ike. Why not Ike's voice actor? Feeling that Ike will be the first DLC down the road, but not in the base game. Edited September 14, 2017 by Dandee Leone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanima Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Even when Ike is revealed, I am going to say the marketing move itself was still shitty. SD is meant to be a main game, and has been sitting on the backburner for months, with fans getting more and more desperate to see something of them. Without the glimpses of Navarre and Caeda, SD fans would be in an all time slump, and those where probably not intended sightings. They should have left Lyn, Ike and co. for last, as neat little surprises for their fans who already thought the roster mostly complete. The timing of this was badly calculated.

Zapp Branniglenn Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I won't call dragging this games pr through the mud genius, but I'll say this: I'll be glad Lyn was revealed so late if it turns out she's the only guest character. Because getting Lyn earlier would leave us wondering about other classic characters during a torrent of fates royals. By leaving her out, our expectations were kept subdued.

Michelaar Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I'd rather get more archanea characters. Lyn should be a premonition to dlc or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind Lyn, in fact I like her, but I would have preferred SD characters over her to be revealed first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatsumaFSoysoy Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I feel like she's basically an emergency addition after they realized she was actually this popular... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenzen12 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 (edited) Yeah, I I remember some interview with Maeda, where he said that they were shocked at IS that Lyn is that popular Edit: nah it was actually Matsushita who said that.

????? Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 My guess, CYL simply affected the last stages of development of the game. Which might Explain why Navarre is possibly playable and they were talking about ''sword cancer'' for quite a while once the popular characters were probably enforced by Nintendo. Including Lucina. Path of Radiance's current month focus AFTER Blazing' blades little announcement is a little bit to calculated that it's impossible not to see Ike at TGS in some way or another. My guess is he's the first character revealed, then Marth's friends when Hikaru is on the stage, and my guess is Azura or Anna when Xander and Lianna's seiyus are the focus of the day. Celica is advertisement for Echoes for Sure. Alm's missing on the cover on the leak is depressing considering he's the ONLY Falchion user left out. Don't have much hope for him to be honest. Feel's he's gonna get ''Chromed'' due to the oversaturation of swordies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I just hope that the Ike used is RD Ike to match his Amiibo. I know he was the less popular of the two Ikes, but he was still pretty popular anyway and he's still Ike. I can also see him getting a PoR alt.
