Watch the remake turn one of them into a girl

Not gonna lie, if the remake doesn't keep their lines identical I am going to be seriously disappointed.

Salem and Sara in particular would make evil dragon cult of plot destroying doom less cartoonishly evil

Salem and Sara in FE4 would be nice, but the one that I feel deserves to be in FE4 the most is Saias. The man's journey is only starting at the end of Thracia. He seems like he would've gone on to do great things in gen 2 if he had existed then. I mean, he's Arvis's bastard and can supposedly use his legendary tome whose name I'm blanking out on. That's so awesome!

Oh yeah he would be great as well

I feel like the chance of him being included in a FE4 remake is pretty good. He has great potential as a character, and he has relations with all of FE4's key players. Sara probably stands a fair chance as well due to her relation with the cult leader. Salem's the one I'm not so sure about. I mean, I'd love to see him, but I don't think his chances are as good.

As for me... Okay, look, he's almost certainly not gonna make it, but... I'd love to see Xavier lol. Give Hannibal and Oifey some competition in the facial hair department.

Unfortunately, it is also possible that we'll see Reinhardt making an appearance due to his Heroes popularity.

i don't mind as long as he doesn't become playable, or his death is nullified.

Give him a cameo appearance for all i care

I mean, yeah, but a man can dream. Imagine Hicks in FE4. He'd break the game in half! He'd be more broken than Shannan, Ares and Tyrfing Seliph put together!

I think this would be all but guaranteed to happen. The guy is too popular not to be acknowledged. I do believe they won't go much further than that, though. He'll just show up in a scene, talk to Ishtar for two seconds, give the camera a wink and then leave. That's my prediction.

Nah, I don't care enough about the guy to want to kill him personally. I wish I could kill his map personally, though. What a shitshow that is.

Calling it now: if the remakes gets a form of battalions he'll be following Ishtar up to the finale.

Yes, that's why I hate it. It and half of Thracia along with it. Warp staff should not be an excuse for poor map design, just as divine pulse should not be an excuse for terrible neglect of permadeath. Hah, I gotcha, I put Three Houses hate in my Thracia hate post without warning. I am so sleek, truly a master of the craft.

And then there's me who was more tortured by that map than by any other entirely because of trying to figure out the first turn.

I used like 10 (Re-)Warp charges in that turn kek

then again i had like, dunno, unlimited (Re-)Warps in my inventory

I just decided to go all out.

And i still had enough Warps to complete the rest of the game in 5 minutes.

Yeah, map 19 is a different thing, because you use warp to do something different than just "warp to boss, kill, seize."

Still kinda hate that you basically need warp or rewarp to save one of the houses, or to stand a decent chance to recruit Amalda/Conomore.

Thracia has a brand of crap for everyone. Nobody is spared.

Well, nobody except for the biggest fans. Though I must say, I have never, ever seen an argument in favor of 12x. "You can warpskip it real easy" is not exactly a compliment, you know, especially when warpskipping is basically a fucking requirement to get everything.

Not enough of them on me, alongside some of my better units being benched.

Camus characters are the most hypocrite of hypocrites, and it's hard for me to understand why people like them so much.

This, too.

What irks me the most about them is that Fire Emblem has a tendency to paint this behavior in a positive light when to me, it is anything but. There is nothing "honorable" about throwing away your own morality in favor of blindly following orders, and I am grateful that Three Houses FINALLY gave us a character who calls this bullshit out.

No, that's 11x. 12x is the one where you have to know that you must've trained Safie to A staves and use the warp staff to move Lara to the throne room. Otherwise, you're fucked.

I'd rather see her be kidnapped than have her locked behind that disgrace of a map. Seriously, how did they even come up with that? "I'm gonna make it so that all the rewards are impossible to get unless you have the missable warp staff and trained the unit in the missable gaiden." What kind of a concept is that?

Kaga did it first. August in Thracia argues... actually the exact same points you've made in the above quote in chapter 11x, when talking with Dorias about Reinhardt. It's great stuff. Fuck Three Houses, it didn't do shit.

Jeez people, at least one of us here is blind to the game.

Spoiler

I'm trying to think of who counts under the latter. If it's Safiya, well that's a weird gaiden anyways and we all know that. And you can get Mr. Sword without warping either. Also, technically you want her warped in because of Ms. Steal your goods.

[Armagon]

So they revealed the ages for the Kuro no Kiseki party members (looks like they have done for a while now but now they have them all)

The MC being well into his 20s is a surprise, as Trails protagonists were always in their teens when their journey started out (Kevin being an exception as he was 21 when he was introduced but wouldn't be an MC until later).

Also the obligatory nice, we have a playable character who's 69 years old.

Gotta say, this does feel like the most varied cast the series has had in terms of character ages.

An FE4 remake that fixes all of these issues DOES have the potential to be the best FE game, storywise, however. I will say that much... unless they completely butcher it, which is always possible.

Like Shrimpy said, the big issue with FE4 is the cult. Kaga just likes injecting cult where it doesn't belong. TRS is also pretty bad with this, as I've stated in my review of the game: 

"Narratively, the game also takes a hit in this last stretch because i really, really do not care about evil cult when the kingdom vs empire plot was way more interesting, and this is made worse because the cult is directly responsible for the entire war. Don't get me wrong, a lot of the enemy generals hate the cult but i'm just tired of evil cult being the cause of everyone's problems.

There's something interesting on paper on how the Gerxel Cult was formed after centuries of oppression and there are two characters that try to humanize the cult but it all still falls flat when all the other members of the cult are presented as nothing more than demon worshippers. The main villain is particularly pathetic, mainly because he barely shows up in the story, not to mention he has zero interactions with the main heroes. I never thought it'd be possible to write a main villain in this way. He's hardly relevant, has no interactions."
