Hrid would at least make it three females and two males. They’ve already done a 1-4 (3 in the case of the last winter banner) male to female ratio five times on these banners + the TT unit since Book III started. They’re not going to have any reservations of potentially doing it a sixth time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted June 19, 2019 Author Share Posted June 19, 2019 (edited) 14 minutes ago, Othin said: Ylgr is also the only Nifl royal missing a seasonal, and she makes sense to group with Helbindi. The extreme gender imbalance is annoying, but 4/5 female is the same as four of the past six seasonal banners, and this seems like a place where they'd continue it. (Also, four characters shared with the NY one seems weird.) She's also the least popular one. I'm certain more people would want to use grails on Hrid than Ylgr and IS likes pushing AR lately. And four characters sharing with the NY banner would be unusual, but IS has done weird things. These are the same people that decided to give us seven damn Camillas. Four of the past six seasonals? Now that I think about it, that does sound correct. But that's just even more of a reason not to have a huge gender imbalance here, so it's not so constantly happening. 14 minutes ago, Etrurian emperor said: I don't think IS would mind a huge gender imbalance. You're right, we never had four females to one male before but at one time the ratio was often evenly divided between genders before IS decided to change that. IS swinging the gender balance even further towards the girls is something I can totally see them doing, especially where fanservice is concerned. And for what its worth....in this one case I actually wouldn't mind since Hrid bores me to tears. They might not, but I recall them already getting some backlash for that kind of gender imbalance. Also, we've never had this kind of gender imbalance on a summer banner. I would mind because I like Hrid a lot.

I feel this year have gotten a decent variety of seasonals, I just hope for some Genealogy one day Spoiler I hope that leak is legit, I’d kill of some hot swimsuit Laegjarn.... I’ll hunt for her when she appears in a Legendary or Mythic banner tho. I don’t have the orbs anyway XD Edited June 19, 2019 by Midnox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SockPuppet Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Giving away Yglr for free might be a smart move, almost as generous as giving away fan favorites like Camilla and Louise; but, I would love a free scantily-clad Hrid if possible! Heehee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roflolxp54 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 (edited) Not too crazy about the banner assuming the leak is true. At least the TT banner looks good. Edited June 19, 2019 by Roflolxp54 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexmender Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Spoiler So that's the banner...I can't say I'm thrilled about it. None of them seem to offer anything noteworthy to me and while I really liked Gunnthra's design she's in the same class as Summer Linde whom I prefer. Guess this can be considered good news as I can get another shot at getting another Alm Celica. The TT orbs will probably go towards either Summer 2 or OG!Lyn.

I don't even have the orbs (barely 150!) and I'm trying to stockpile for the new Legendary Banner with NY!Hrid (hopefully!). But she's my second favorite OC aside from Hrid so I really want her! Also I HOPE the TT unit is Hrid and not the little girl that looks like a boy with that atrocious haircut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted June 19, 2019 Author Share Posted June 19, 2019 Laegjarn's bikini looks like it's giving her a wedgie there though. Wtf.. Otherwise, she does look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord-Zero Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 (edited) If that leak is real then... ....disgusting. I have no interest in those OCs.

Xenomata Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 So I guess we're going to learn everything about the new summer units hours before they are to be released? Or is the banner itself gonna be delayed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer Alfonse though for the exact reason you stated. Sharena already has a swimsuit but Alfonse doesn't have one yet. Even Veronica would be fine and Bruno ideal. Just anyone not connected to team fire and ice would make this worthwhile for me. But I doubt it. They'll probably go with the ''fire and ice'' theme which neither Alfonse or Sharena or any oc I like fits into. If they stick with this team then the only option are snow loli and boring snow prince. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what it's worth, Sharena is the option that would be the least likely to make me puke between her, snow loli and the pointless prince. Hrid had zero business getting even one alt, so him potentially getting a second will make me absolutely livid though I will then likely forget about it by Friday because of CTR Nitro Fueled. As for snow loli, I don't need to explain why giving her an alt is a terrible idea right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone who's only ticked to fame is not being able to kill Surtr that one time and not doing anything else shouldn't even get one alt. Him getting a second wouldn't make me livid but definitely very annoyed. I'm very fine with Heroes OC's getting alts but on the condition it are good ones like the Askr or Embla sibings, or even Loki. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ottservia Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 (edited) Why does IS keep pushing the nifl siblings anyway? Seriously they all have about as much personality and character depth as a literal plank of wood that is too say none and design wise well let’s just say Hrid is the only one I really care for. At least the Muspell OCs have some character depth and/or personality. It ain’t much mind you but it’s more than anything the nifle siblings can offer. The only “bad” one out of the musspell characters is laevetain but even then she’s a kuudere so her having “no personality” is kinda the point. Whatever at least I get to save orbs.

OCs exist in this game and get a mustard seed of flavor outside of quips. It's apparently enough to make them "popular" and "endearing". So it seems. The "masses" must be as shallow as can be. And isn't depth overrated? A little charm can buy you a farm. And such is life. Does "taste" concerning pixels matter?
