Clogon Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Going by the blessings schedule, the next legendary hero will be Earth. Given the recent Armour Emblem push and that Earth tends to be linked to DEF, I am expecting an Amoured unit. Dispite Axes being the most represented Armour unit, I still think it will be an Axe wielder too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magical Glace Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I'm expecting colorless (with the fire hero being red, so there's one of each color). Possibly Gustav (Alfonse and Sharena's father) for a specific character. We've already had Fjorm's mom serve as our local Cornelius expy, let's let Alfonse and Sharena's parents live, shall we? They're the only lords in the franchise whose parents are currently both alive. So Gustav as a Bow Armor or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logjam Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 We got a blue infantry, green horse, I'm thinking you might be right about the armor but for the color I have no idea. I could definitely see an axe user, but we just got a legendary green so I'm inclined to think maybe a red or colorless, although I would guess that the fire character would be red. Who knows honestly. I do wonder how the new hero will tie into the plot though too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexmender Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Hmm....I haven't given it too much thought. I guess King Gustav would be a nice addition but right now he's defending Askr from the invation while the Order of Heroes went to Nifl to....what were they going to do? I can't remember. If Chapter 3 is to see whatever's left of Nifl (and see if those who expect Gunnthrá to be free have their dream come true or be crushed) then the most likely answer is a reinforcement from Askr or some kind of super soldier/commander/hero from Nifl (or another of Fjorm's sisters, that can work too). I only know that there's something going on with Laevateinn and her sister which seems to be pretty kind considering that she told Laevateinn to retreat if she and her soldiers got hurt, no deaths allowed. One of those two is going to become the fire legendary hero for sure, it's just a matter of when. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rezzy Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Does Gustav have a canon weapon? I don't remember hearing one, but it would be nice for him to have some unique or semi-unique weapon type. I fully expect Fire to be Red, so him being colorless would make sense, if they want to make him the Earth Hero. Seeing him as a Bow Cavalry or Bow Armor would be nice to get another one of those in the pool. I really hope they don't make the next hero a Sword or especially Sword Infantry, since that's already such a flooded unit type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafiel's Aria Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 And I spent all this time thinking it was wind and fire season. XD Whoops. Whomever we get, I hope it's a guy or they might have to change Legendary Heroes to Legendary Harems. Right now, Alfonse is the only playable male OC. He's outnumbered 4 to 1. Even if we include villain OCs, guys are outnumbered 7 to 3...unless you count Feh. Is Feh a girl? Does Feh identify as anything other than precious? What if we got a magical-girl Feh? Instead of giving us laguz, we get an OC first. ...actually I wouldn't be too upset with that. Feh would make an adorable pudgy, mildly narcoleptic owl girl.

Lord_Grima Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 We had hints of Gunnthra coming in the Intermissions, so if the next Legendary Hero is hinted at, then Gustav is the closest we have. If they are keeping "one color type to each affinity", then most likely the Earth Hero would be Colorless. And if they also keep the movement type different, we should see a Colorless Armor/Flier. Personally, I'm hoping for a Staff Armor. Another thought to help this is Thani's description. "Grants Res+3. Effective against armored and cavalry foes. Against armored and cavalry foes using bow, dagger, magic, or staff, damage from first attack received by unit during combat reduced by 30%." It mentions armored dagger and staff users. I know this could be a "cover all grounds" type thing, but it does bring up some questions. Will we ever get a Dagger/Staff Armor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose dagger is a possibility, but daggers don't seem a regal enough weapon for a king. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Branniglenn Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I think they may avoid introducing another green OC since Fjorm and Guunthra are already confirmed to be in the next Legendary Heroes Banner - probably in every Legendary Heroes Banner. With how seasonals get re-run in these banners, they've got three green seats filled already on months where they can't avoid having a green from each seasonal banner being represented.

Fjorm is Blue, so if they added another Green, that would still be 2/3 Greens, but I still think they'll try to vary the colors up a bit.

I'm talking about how two seasonal banners get re-run in each banner. Using the next two as an example - Summer Ylisse and Summer Nohr, the greenies are Tiki from the former and Xander and Elise from Nohr. So either this month or next month will have two green seasonals in one banner. Those two plus Guunthra and another green OC makes four, it's too many unless they plan on making these banners include more units or if they plan to switch up how seasonals get in. Also where are people getting the Gustav name drop from? Never heard of this supposed father character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NegativeExponents- Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 An armored dagger user as King sounds really out there but I could see Gustav being an armored staff user. imo, assuming Nifl has more royals, they’ll probably just make the earth and subsequent fire legendary heroes another of Fjorm’s siblings and then move on to other kingdoms for more legendary heroes.

Wind is normally Spd, and water is normally Res, but Fjorm and Gunnthra have their boosts switched for their elements. 20 minutes ago, Lord_Grima said: It mentions armored dagger and staff users.

It's a cover all grounds thing so that they don't have to change the text if and when cavalry dagger users, armored dagger users, and armored staff users are implemented. Translation of new and modified text strings costs money, even if it's the same string as elsewhere. It's best to get it right and future-proofed the first time and never have to touch it again.

mcsilas Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 If an armored dagger doesn't sound regal enough, maybe it could be like the Golden Dagger in Echoes but he can use it to throw icicle daggers or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Alfonse wasn't longingly remembering his father, but he was wondering how he managed to get out of the castle. The poor king is mostly there in the head, but he sometimes suffers Don Quixote-esque delusions. He wears about as much armor as Hawkeye and horrifies the Muspell armies with his death drops.

You could make the case for Earth possibly. Not a strong one, but cold barren earth sounds sufficiently chilly. The Personage of Permafrost, the Terror of the Tundra could very well exist. I say this partly influenced from Arc Rise Fantasia, which made Ice magic a secondary element, obtained from having Water and Earth on a character. (Wind + Water = Thunder, Fire + Earth = Dark, and Fire + Wind = Light in the same game.) Also, according to Shin Megami Tensei's compendium entries, however reliable they are, the Aristotelian elemental system defines: Water as Cold + Moist, Fire as Warm + Dry, Air as Warm + Moist, and Earth as Cold + Dry. So Water and Earth aren't total opposites. And in Golden Sun, which I know you might have some familiarity with due to your prior Sheba avatar, Venus/Earth is neutral to Mercury/Water & Ice (and I'm guessing influence from GS made you say this, because Mercury and Jupiter/Wind & Lightning have a positive affinity for one another- brought up owing to the Jupiter and Mercury Lighthouses being lit before Mars causing Prox to suffer from extreme cold).

Ivy Wife Supremacy Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 (edited) My guesses are: Gunnthrá and Fjorms implied sister(depending on who she is) since they're a royal family of sisters. Laevateins sister (again depending on who she is) Or King Gustav (depending on his relevancy in the plot which looks brief) Edited January 16, 2018 by Blade Lord Lyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirmola Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 7 minutes ago, Blade Lord Lyn said: Laevateins sister (again depending on who she is) Or just Levatin. Her "i am the blade" speech in chapter 3 sounds a lot like she does not really belive what she is doing, but is attempting to justify it to herself ("i was only following orders" is the classic self-justification for people who know deep down they are doing horrible things. Often, they convince themselves themselves to believe it so that they can sleep at night). Of course, when a character's actions are all based on cognitive dissonance like that in fiction, it is often a set up for them to become a good guy after they realize that what they are doing really is wrong. THat being said, FE loves its camus archtypes, so i might be wrong. Note how none of the villagers who inhabit the village from chapter 3 were killed. This could just be an excuse for the story to delay going to nifil, but it could also mean that Levatin is not really evil, because if the was the game would have had her kill the villagers here. All this being said, she would probably be a fire hero, and not necessarily the next hero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
