Anacybele Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 4 minutes ago, Othin said: I agree that Tellius needs more characters. Geoffrey, Ranulf, Ashnard, and Sephiran, for example. None of them are on the level of significance of Quan. Wolt and Lugh do not play significant roles in FE6. While we're talking siblings: Ethlyn is Sigurd's sister, and Quan, her husband, is Sigurd's brother-in-law. The Fiana Braves, or the Fiana Freeblades as they're apparently called now, are the mercenary group Leif and Finn join up with at the beginning of FE5. They consist of Eyvel, Orsin, Halvan, Dagdar, Tanya, and Marty: the initial party alongside Leif and Finn. Wolt and Lugh still have close connections to characters already in the game. It's the same reason Karla was added, because her husband and daughter were already in. Then they sound important enough to me too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we consider design or art a factor for rarity classification, Sword Reinhardt should be a 5*-4* unit, because it's the same outfit and artist as OG Reinhardt. It doesn't go two ways. Certain designs only show up on 5* exclusives, but there are no designs that never show up on 5* exclusives. Sword Reinhardt is 5* exclusive because he's an alt, and all summonable alts are 5* exclusive. An alt that they'd be willing to drop into the 4* pool is an alt they wouldn't bother making in the first place. 4 minutes ago, Anacybele said: Wolt and Lugh still have close connections to characters already in the game.

Lots of characters have close connections to characters already in the game. It'll be a long time before we get all the characters important enough to add, if we ever do. But there are some more striking than others. The way I see it, within their respective games, Ethlyn is comparable to Mist and Quan is comparable to Hector. Those are really important kinds of characters to prioritize, you know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricaofRenais Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 (edited) I think I will go green or blue for my free pull and then skip since I don't need anyone on this banner. Everyone looks good and I agree these are plot important characters who should be in Heroes. Now that theses guys have been added I really hope the next regular banner is FE 6 with Elphin since IS seems to like adding dancers/singers right now. Edit: the thing I really like about this banner is that it has zero alts which makes it a great banner.

Sephiran in particular is one of the most glaring omissions for the Heroes roster as a whole. He is the chessmaster for the Tellius games in their totality and one of the best antagonists in Fire Emblem.

Jave Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 It’s also nice that the Sigurd and Quan families are pretty much complete now, all we need is Altenna and pretty much the gang’s all here. My headcanon of all the FE4 characters living together like a cheezy 80s sitcom is pretty close to being a reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quan was hands down the biggest omission from Heroes. With him being added now, I think Sephiran makes a plenty good case to be next in line for the title, but he wasn't bigger than Quan.

Duma and Rudolph 3. See 1. 4. Manfloy 5. Veld and Rayderick 6. Idunn and Jahn 7. Nergal and all the morphs 8. Is sort of filled. No actual demon king but Lyon kinda covers that. 9. Ashnard 10. Ashera and Sephiran. I suppose the senators can count too. 11. See 1. 12. See 3. 13. Validar and Gangrel 14. Garon, Anankos, and Iago (legit forgot their names for a minute.) 15. See 2. Anyway, banner itself, I like the characters, but not really digging the art so not as jazzed as I thought I'd be. Super excited about Ethlyn, but a bit nervous on her art. None are bad, just something in the anesthetics doesn't appeal to me. Anyway, all look cool, but I'm not really itching for any. Would rather try for Roy on the VG banner.

Quan's kit is formidable, and the only lemon I find here is another red dancer. But, we take what we can. I will take all the Dancers/Singers I can get my hands on.

I would consider that debateable as well. Villains define the plot. Secondary protagonists typically do not. That said, we can both agree to be happy for Cuan. I'm personally more happy for Lewyn, who I consider to be an even more important character and greater addition, but I am similarly excited for Cuan and will be rolling for both.

Defining the plot isn't the only factor. My impression is that Heroes is primarily about getting to pick from the protagonists from throughout FE, with the villains being secondary. To reuse my earlier comparison, FE4 without Quan is like FE7 without Hector, it's just silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etrurian emperor Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 (edited) Lewyn is definitely the star of this banner. He's not the FE4 mage I wanted but he's still one of the games most recognizable figures, highly popular, great unit and relevant to the story. And who doesn't like the Forseti? I'll definitely be spending my orbs on him. Cuan is....eh. I never thought poorly of the guy but I was never invested enough in his character to think positively of him either. I know he's objectively one of the better choices the devs could have made. Lots of people wanted him, he's the father of a lord and aside from Sigurd and Lewyn he's the most important gen 1 character. He's just not someone I'm interested in. If Lewyn is the star of this banner then Silvia definitely is its weak spot. Why is she here exactly? She's like Ayra and Larcei where mother and daughter are so similar that having both them just lets one spot get wasted. We already had a perky green haired dancer girl that's in love with a runaway royal, was another one really so vital to the Heroes roster? I guess she got boobs but there were still other Geneology girls available. Edain would have gone perfectly with Jamke, Fury/Erinys could have been paired with Lewyn and Bridget could have given us a third holy weapon. But instead of those we got another dancer who's spot was already taken when her daughter joined months ago.

I suppose it might the closest applicable comparison, but I would think of it more like being Radiant Dawn without Sothe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe somewhere between Hector and Sothe would be most accurate? Part of my reasoning for picking Hector in particular is that he's the main character's best friend, another prince with a legendary weapon and a kid who ends up second to the main character's kid in importance in the second gen. Of course, Quan doesn't have Hector's popularity. In any case, I'd still consider Sothe a bigger deal to leave out than any villain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She can use dark magic with a glitch, so I am hoping they reference that by making her a red mage, although giving her a bow is fine too.
