Lynsanity Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 I can't really blame the exasperated on Twitter when their usual exposure to the series (besides Smash) is NoA's promotion of every Heroes event. Like this one got shared by some of my friends just for how on-its-face ridiculous it is: Spoiler When the most front-facing marketing of a Nintendo franchise for 11 months out of the year is impossible anime boobs, that's the impression of Fire Emblem the general fan will come away with. I saw one reply to the latest tweet that was just like "it's going to be a horny three weeks". Which is a shame because the designs for Three Houses are actually more grounded.

I'm hoping I can actually resist listening to the music tracks this time. Didn't resist for Fates and Echoes, and while that didn't have any real negative impact on my playthrough, I am hoping to at least leave sum of Three Houses as a surprise.

And then there's what @Lynsanity said. Even as a FE fan, I get real sick and tired of hearing about FEH adding alts of the same 3-or-so busty women over and over again and again. I imagine as someone who isn't a FE fan, and as someone who is watching the NoA Twitter like a hawk ever since the company announced an actual goddamn sequel to one of their favorite games (and not just another shitty cash-grab spin-off), AC fans would be ready to fling their fists at just about anything remotely resembling FEH. Don't know about Smash fans, though. They're spoiled as fuck - they've got practically everything they could possibly ask for an more - so I think they're just fanatical. Not to say the AC fans aren't also being fanatical, but I could at least somewhat sympathize with them. 3 hours ago, NekoKnight said: Naga is exactly one character. If people only care to focus on that one announcement to get their takeaway for Fire Emblem, that's on them. I feel like that isn't really the point. It's that the FEH news on NoA's Twitter is about as frequent as it is on this site, which is kind of ridiculous considering they have at least half a dozen IPs they have to juggle and, at this point, a number of actual new games coming out. I get that NoA is trying to really push FEH, but I'll be honest, there's as such thing as too much advertising, and I'd classify them sharing every little goddamn update on FEH as such. And there's a difference between bringing people news and advertising a product anyway, and I really think they ought to leave the former part to other FEH-affiliated accounts. Again, even as a FE fan, it gets a bit exhausting. It'd be the same if they came up with a mobile game for any of their other IPs and started making a post for every single little new thing that happens in it. 28 minutes ago, Corrobin said: Do you think we'll get a follow-up video that gives Dorothea, Bernadetta, Caspar and Ferdinand their bits? What Sentinel said. I would understand if they just left it at Edelgard and Hubert, as those two are core members of the Black Eagles, but then going on to talk about Petra and Linhardt and no then no one else from the Black Eagles? Yeah, that's weird. I mean, they wouldn't at least mention Ferdinand, who has a straight up rivalry with Edelgard? Or Bernadetta, who is one of the few students in the game - alongside Edelgard, Ferdinand, and Linhardt - who has a crest corresponding to one of the Divine Seiros Saints? Or how about Dorothea, who I'm sure they know is already buried in Jojo memes? I'd definitely be surprised if they didn't, especially considering they said they'd dedicate this week to the Black Eagles. If they wanted to make it out to be a weekly thing without implying there'd be more throughout the week, they would've said "we'll dedicate one day of each week" instead of "we'll dedicate each week". No, they said they'd dedicate the week to Black Eagles, I assume that means there's more to come. Dunno when we'll get the next update, though.

Tenzen12 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 (edited) 5 hours ago, TheGoodHoms said: From everything I've seen Edelgard seems very self-righteous in the worst way possible, the kind of character that thinks they always know best and that the ends justify the means. I don't think this makes for an inherently bad character, but I have a feeling since she's being pushed as the game's main protagonist she'll never face any lasting consequences that force her grow and change because God forbid we suggest our hot wifu heroine is anything less than perfection. Maybe I'm just overthinking it, but I wouldn't be surprised if things pan out that way. I love seeing the responses to FE Tweets, it's just a bunch of Animal Crossing and/or Smash Bros. fans complaining that Nintendo's not showing anythi ng new for Animal Crossing and/or Smash Bros. and then everybody else makes fun of them because they're being ridiculous. It's not in worst possible way. She is future emperor so she need embrace that even further (and it suits her) . And that's fine, not everyone can be Disney princess like Claude.

NekoKnight Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 (edited) 3 hours ago, Florete said: It really wasn't Are you able to defend this position? The NA website is an absolute joke compared to the Japanese one. It offers little more to English speaking fans than "The game exists! Buy it!" The dedicated fans on places like Serenes and Reddit have been in a steady stream of hype ever since the JP twitter starting posting weekly updates, not to mention the Famitsu releases. When we saw the E3 trailer, it blew our socks off because we were already engaged with the development of the game and excited for how the trailer changed our perceptions and expectations for the game. I think a casual fan or worse, a person who has never played a Fire Emblem game, would be scratching their head after seeing that trailer. It's like it came out of nowhere. I can't fathom why NoA thinks saving all of the promotion for the game for the last month or so is a better strategy than what Japan has been doing on their end.

And that's fine, not everyone can be Disney princess like Claude. I'm not say she has to be a perfect Disney princess to be the main character. I'm just not optimistic that she'll grow in any meaningful way by the end of the story considering that's what happened last time in FE Fates. So if Edelgard turns out to be a self-righteous control freak who's unapologetic in her actions like I'm predicting, I don't think shes going to be the the most likable character unless she goes through an arc to temper those traits with humility or justice or something along those lines to make her a better leader and person. I am aware that this is all purely based off of my own personal assumptions from information released in promotional material that doesn't always give full context, but until the game is in our hands I can't really do much better.

Linhardt looks cute in that cutscene, and I actually like Hubert better now that I know he's probably gonna be a tired sarcastic asshole who likes coffee lmao Petra though... Not loving her speech patterns. That's not really how someone that's learning English speaks, though I guess it depends on what her mother tongue is.

That'd be the opposite of Fates though, every single character in Fates, leaders especially, were always portraied to be completely good. Edelgard is the Empress of the most powerful nation of the continent, I sure hope she doesn't turn out to fight for friendship and justice like Corrin or something like that. She has to lead her nation, that's not to say that she shouldn't have any values, but I hope she remains rational. For what we know up until now Edelgard is possibly one of the most interesting characters in Fire Emblem history, because she has a lot of sides to her, let's not take that away. On the other hand, I don't think worrying that she'll be "too evil" makes sense, I mean she's one of the protagonist, she can't be. And we've seen from descriptions and trailers that she holds dearly values like friendship and peace, and I think especially for that reason she'll be interesting, being torn between her comfortable "school" days and her duty as leader.

Like his blurb about stopping the cycle of the strong trampling the weak is basically identical to Daenerys’ breaking the wheel speech. Plus by season 8 she’s already way beyond “kill every last one of them”. Edelgard’s definitely got a lot of similarities to her too, but his ideology is a lot more similar.
