Book Bro Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Hope he has good art! Great news, he should've been added a long time ago. Hopefully L'Arachel is coming too! (As a green mage knight please) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, thanks. Why couldn't the english also be that way? I kinda like it like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armagon Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Absolutely fantastic. Lyon is my favorite villain in the series. PLEASE give him a good artist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poimagic Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Lyon + a new banner that is probably a SS banner. I love this game, as it is giving me more characters from my favorite game. I wonder how Lyon will be done. Didn’t he place 5th among the SS characters not in the game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Niles and I can't use him because his art is atrocious (to me). And so is Clarisse. Shigure is the only one I kinda like and even then... I really just want a good artist for him. I'll be so sad if he looks ugly (or like Eliwood or Dorcas). Ugh. My worry is only tempered by how much I LOVE Lyon and need him in the game. I hope he's the good version (with maybe his damaged artwork looking possessed), so I can put him with Erika and Ephraim on a SS team. =D So excited. So worried. Haha.

Well, You can always just look up a F2P unit tutorial, they are usually up on YouTube the day the GHBs arrive, so I'm not so worried about it. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricaofRenais Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I hope he has the same artist as Innes. I am so happy to see Lyon since I have wanted him since SS characters were first added to Heroes. Now if only the new TT would have Glen as the reward and he wields a sword, my draconight flyer team would be complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisfitMiju Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I'm really happy that Lyon has finally arrived hopefully hecan hold his own with the rest of the case and personally I'm hoping Asatani Tomoyo does his art for the sake of consistency with the runner ups being Maiponpon and PenekoR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't even one of the people hoping for him and yet this is probably the most excited I've been since the Camus GHB, save maybe Arvis before I found out he wasn't armored. Maybe they'll do something crazy and make Lyon an armored mage. He's certainly got the bulk for it in SS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see why people would't like them since the art is so unique, but Dorcas and Arden IMO look really good. The art is so realistic and the colors are so vibrant. How can you not like Clarisse? She's a bombshell I'd understand if you dislike Lissa, Sophia and Selena since they're giraffes Eliwood's sword design seems unfaithful to the original. That's all I can say about him.

Arden's I like because while not an aesthetically pleasing individual, it is fairly faithful to his original appearance, just updated. Dorcas less so. Looking at it again, it's more faithful than I remembered, but I still feel like they made him too buff for the aesthetic they were going for and made him way tanner than he actually was. Eliwood has the crazy bug eyes, which don't really bother me, but I can see why some people don't like it. I love the update they gave his armor, but not as fond of their update to Durandal. Brave Roy's looks so much nicer IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like vibrant colors, but the realism feels off with the rest of the game. I don't mind the artwork on their own, but in the context of the game they feel so off it pulls me out of the game. Clarisse isn't what I'd consider "awful", but the wild hair against those tiny eyes and the nose too far down just bothers me. But art is entirely subjective—my entire job revolves around artistic decisions so I know how subjective it can get when you're debating designs. And I also dislike Lissa/Sophia/Selena soooo.... XD When it comes to the artwork in this game, I'd say I personally like about a third of the artwork, so if that says anything about how particular I am I don't know what does. Either way, I just hope they give him a normal looking artist/look that doesn't feel too off from the characters I like. And also hope he doesn't have one abysmally low stat. A decent stat spread (or just a good personal weapon) is all I can hope for. Maybe we'll see a unique skill on him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Othin Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Wow, the longest gap between GHBs yet and then the shortest. I thought Lyon was probably still a ways off, but I'm really glad to be wrong. He's one of my favorite FE villains, and I've been looking forward to him for a long time. Myrrh does seem like a top candidate for the banner. She has a lot of potential ways to stand out: I think she'll be the second green dragon after way too long and first flying dragon, and probably have one of the missing "dragon buff" skills too. Wouldn't be surprised if she also gets a legendary breath attack for good measure. Man, am I going to have to pull from another regular banner this soon? Micaiah already put enough of a dent in the orbs I was saving up for upcoming seasonals and legendary heroes. At least the next seasonal banner (Valentine's Day, probably) is a full month rather than being short like the Christmas one, so I guess it's not too immediate of a concern. And legendary heroes aren't too big of a hurry because of how frequently they get rerun, so missing the first chance at a cool one isn't too bad either.

TheNiddo Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Gimme powercreeped Sophia plz. 15 speed, bonus BST, even defences, unique tome. Probably won't be that great sadly, but Lyon is a favourite of mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd just have to settle for Moonbow, run the Heavy Blade seal, or rely on the enemy doubling for 3 charge specials if he wasn't armored.

Nowi's Husband Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I'm looking forward to it, I thought he was a great tragic villian, it's amazing we get two GHB back to back and I like both. Hopefully we get another SS banner along with it, Myrrh has been my most wanted addition since day 1. I want all the dragon lolis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(As a green mage knight please) Personally I'm hoping she's a red mage knight, since Leo is lonely (and we got Gunnthra recently as a second green mage knight ingame). Alternatively I'd be totally ok with a boosted-bst troubadour with superior offenses or defenses compared to Elise or Clarine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lau Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 My heart is screaming with Archanea bias that we're getting Lyon before Hardin, but my mind is telling me to be happy for all the Lyon fans. Can I at least get Artur and Natasha out of this? Pretty please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
