Lightchao42 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 The Warriors segment is over, there wasn't really anything worth mentioning except showing Validar's intro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RotomGuy Posted September 16, 2017 Author Share Posted September 16, 2017 Seems like there was no announcement after all, just in-game footage of Sakura and Validar. Apologies for getting hopes up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folt Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Also, it appears to be a battle scenario from History Mode, instead of Story Mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VincentASM Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Doh, I returned from lunch and got booted out of the livestream (since I'm a lowly free member), so I missed all the Warriors stuff. --And they just had to show off Sakura : P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has Elise's gameplay been shown in detail? Otherwise I wouldn't be so fast to call Sakura the "cloniest" (not to mention we haven't seen how different Navarre and Lyn will be from Ryouma). Still that's very disappointing to here, but I will reserve my judgement until I actually get to see the gameplay myself.

Elise got her own trailer where we at least saw a few different charges. We've seen several of Leo's as well, and both of them look pretty different in that department. What's worth noting is that in the gameplay trailers Koei uploaded, we already saw more cloned moves from Sakura-- you'd think if that was the case with both her and Elise, they'd try to hide them.

Well, so that's it... Elise is a Nohrian character and more popular, so she got more attention.. I mean they already released her trailer over a week ahead of the Famitsu announcement. Meanwhile, Sakura was stuffed in with all the other trailers and is now revealed to be essentially a fancy archer skin. They clearly didn't care. I will still use both her and Takumi as my mains though, just watch me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you only get booted out if you're near the end of the queue and it's busy. I dd enter near the beginning, but I slept my laptop mid-way through, so maybe that's why I got booted. Usually I don't have any problems with Cipher livestreams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She does have some different charges and unique musous; she's just closer to a full clone than the rest (who are all firmly in semi-clone territory).

Which is still bullshit treatment when you look at it. They could have easily had her movement be more grounded and more in line with the priestess class. It honestly feels like Elise was the real bringer here and Sakura was only brought in for obligation and done in an afternoon. Sorry, but this news has made me really bitter.

Tolvir Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Well, I hope Celica wasnt included just because the producer likes her. Im not big on a developers original vision for a game being disrupted because someone up above wanted things to appeal to them. That is never really a good thing. I excused IS on it because they are the ones who have been running FE for years, so giving Koei some insight as to who would be better isnt exactly a bad thing. But a producer requesting a character to be in just because they like them is. I just hope no one got sacrificed for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Namarid Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I need to see this gameplay for myself. I think I joined the stream just as it ended which is troll. We've only seen one combo from Elise which was the one charge attack that uses mjolnir. She could still be super similar to Leo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I'd say that she's probably like Lyn: A character who got worked on late in development. Due to that, I would not expect to see her in Story Mode. EDIT: All right. The livestream is now up.

We don't know for a fact Lyn was a late addition; we just know that IS was surprised by her popularity in the CYL poll and are somewhat aware of the backlash against FEW's roster. 15 minutes ago, Nanima said: Which is still bullshit treatment when you look at it.

Yeah I agree with this, if Sakura ended up being super similar to Takumi then I don't see why Elise wouldn't be similar to Leo. We haven't seen either Elise or Leo's full combos and moves so I'm going to reserve judgment until release/new gameplay videos of them. It's still a bit of a shame because I feel like they could have done more to differentiate them, and I agree with @Nanima that they could have used more of the priestess animations for Sakura (which I really love so I'm going to be a bit upset if they don't have something). Then again I thought I remember reading that promotion gives access to new combos (?) so maybe both Sakura and Elise will be a bit more unique when they promote.

Maybe not, but I think she is. The fact that she's a character outside of the focus group is already suspicious, and we have no segments of her that suggests she's going to be in the story... or that she'll get a focus scenario in History Mode either for that matter. Also, as a side note, Cordelia appeared to use wind in one of her charge attacks. That actually seems to set her and Hinoka further apart from each other since Hinoka is extremely light-focused in her charge attacks.

Namarid Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 (edited) Unfortunately Sakura looks to be a straight clone of Takumi. I'm assuming that all clones are going to be treated similarly. I guess we know what the developers were talking about when they said similar characters have different standing animations. The idle animations of Takumi and Sakura are different.

Nanima Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 (edited) Looks like I'll be beating this game with two nearly identical archers then (as well as their big siblings and some Archanean characters here and there). It's challenge time. Edited September 16, 2017 by Nanima Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can easily imagine Navarre and Lyn be practically same though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
