redlight Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I honestly don't care whether this is fake or not. At least it gets me hyped for the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chconroy Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 (edited) I like the idea of giving sword users a long range equivalent to javelins and throwing axes that relies on strength instead of magic. If anything about Garland is true, I have a feeling he's going to be obnoxious as a character. Edited November 21, 2017 by Chconroy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandy Druid Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Hmmm. Glad to hear about the characters. It sounds like we have Lena (Eden) and Wolt (Jean). Dorin sounds loyal, which is good because our younger brother doesn't. Also, Poor Adriana. 55 minutes ago, Chconroy said: I like the idea of giving sword users a long range equivalent to javelins and throwing axes that relies on strength instead of magic.

What do you find odd about it? She's been a paralogue character since Awakening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from having a long-range option, not really. Light Brand does a fixed damage of 10. I could be wrong though. Anyway, i'm still thinking this is fake, but i really hope that thing about Pursuit being back is more of it actually being Adept being back. Because if Pursuit is actually back, i'm throwing this game out the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altrosa Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 (edited) The more this pulls from Christianity, to more leary I become of it, despite liking most concepts here. Japan likes using a Catholicism expy as a villianous society from it's unfortunate history of rampant corruption, so much so it's a cliché. So which one is the Jesus? Alain or Dracul? The god is named Samuel. Will the Humans be against homosexual relationships despite S-ranking in Fates giving the option and Leon in Echoes being openly gay? Is said Samuel church bad or misguided? Who do the Kibaire worship? If they opt for this kind of direction, we'll see an M rating or a crap ton of censorship. And neither bode well! Honestly, the only time I've seen this same "the church did it" storyline done well was FFXIV Heavensward, and that was mostly down to the time it took to explore every faction and the aftermath in said factions. Everyone was wrong to an extent, and we had to remove the top brass refusing to change for the sake of peace on both sides. In the end, we saw both societies join together to clean house and right the wrongs of history without discarding their identities to do so. That's rarely done.

It's Samael, who is known in Judeo-Christian lore as a demon or an angel of death. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samael http://megamitensei.wikia.com/wiki/Samael (shows his more dragonlike portrayal in the Megami Tensei series; I have a gut feeling that IS would use a similar portrayal if these leaks are real) Edited November 21, 2017 by Von Ithipathachai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IS is starting to get stuck on that. Edited November 21, 2017 by Altrosa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's described at best: An arrogant prick no better than your average Greek god. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mis Leaker Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 (edited) Oh, one more thing I forgot to mention, but don't really feel like making its own thread, is that same sex S-Supports are returning and are avaliable on both routes. There are going to be more in this game than in Fates, with some characters having exclusively same-sex supports. Dracul, as an avatar will be able to S-Support any character.

Oh fucking god no please dammit I hate that shit and now they bring it back for what?? Fuck it, I just hope the writing is good enough to not be too yaoi fanservicy.

The main problem with that was the characters they made available for the gay supports. Niles is a confirmed sadist, criminal and cold-blooded murderer, and Rhajat is a redux of one of the worst characters in FE (Seriously, Soleil is a fucking confirmed lesbian, and she only has male S-Supports, what's up with that?). The "Gay Fates" patch for Fates shows that Same-sex supports can be written well, even in Echoes, Leon was a really good character. All IntSys has to do is make an LGBT character who's personality goes beyond "I'm gay" or "I'm a Yandere stalker", and not go too deep into Yaoi/Yuri territory in the writing. It's so simple, they even got it right the last time. Edited November 21, 2017 by Hawkatana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised they would go that far. Not saying that as a complaint if it's true; I'm all for same-sex s-supports, but I'm just surprised.

My feelings on this would largely depend on a few things: 1. Which characters? 2. Would there be more to them then just their sexuality? Because personality matters more than orientation. And 3. How would this effect other characters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soleil's not a homosexual. She was never intended to be so. There's not a doubt for this when it comes to her JP dialogue. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Class_S_(genre) The developers are not obligated to design their game to account for the English version's rewrites.

I don't have issue if a few characters are bi, pan, and gay, as a Bi person, I desperately want that, but it feels pretty sketchy to think I can get an exclusively gay unit to marry my female Dracul. UNLESS the second half of the statement is more about us having more instances of units that only marry the avatar, like Priam or Scarlet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, "I was gay until I met Dracul." Just, "I love Dracul." I mean, that's at least a little less of a red flag, but the above kind of dialogue is why Soleil reads as a lesbian to so many people, despite being straight by the fact she only S-supports males. Anyway, I do like that we don't need to play the eugenics game here, and can instead support units we actually use or the ones with good dialogues without potentially screwing up another unit's growths. I can ship my hypothetical Odin and Kagero all day long without ruining Ophelia's magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noni Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I think, the Avatar S-Support any Character, IF he matches the gender, that Character is attracted too. Just like in Awakening and Fates with the Exception of Morgan/Kana Godfrey and Garland sound to me like they'll be Major Antagonists who both represent the more evil side of their Kingdom.
