Misutira is Tiramisu rearranged. Merin is truncated from Meringue. Bonet is just, well, Bonèt. And Seadas from Seada.

Maybe the desert/dessert thing was too amusing to not use? XD Also, just for completion's sake, we also have: Pandreo who in Japan is Pandoro. And Queen Sfoglia.

To just use foreign words as they are. Like, the Jugdral Dreadlords in Japan are named after the German Numbers. Just straight up the number names. So I don't think we'll see a stop to it any time soon. Your best bet is localization doing its thing. Like Misutira to Timerra. Though for food ones we might be mostly safe. FE isn't Dragon Ball.

KoriCongo Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 21 hours ago, Popers1328 said: I didn't think it was boons or banes because it's listed between options difficulty and network settings. It would be weird to switch back and forth between a gameplay option for your character and your game settings. Alear seems more similar to Byleth than the fully customizable Robin or Corrin so it would make sense for them to not have Boons or Banes just like Byleth. Also there's no reason why having infinite grinding would interfere with fixed mode's purpose. Most RPGs in general don't use randomized stat growths and most RPGs allow for infinite grinding, so that seems pretty standard. If anything, having infinite grinding makes randomized stat growths obsolete. Random growths allow for a character to be blessed or screwed in certain stats, but if you can infinitely grind, you can just level up until their low stat is patched up. Personally, I prefer random growths because they add weight to the decision whether or not to reset after a death i.e. deciding not to reset for a character that died because someone else got a perfect level up. But people have different preferences and some people play without permadeath and for whatever reason, might want to play in fixed mode. Who knows, maybe someone will use the arena feature to create an Averages Unleashed tournament in Engage. Edit: To clarify in case anyone's wondering, I can't read Japanese. I just copied the Kanji and pasted it into a translator. The option says 成長方式 Seeing the newest front page update today, gonna believe you now, Growth Method is absolutely Fixed Growth Mode option. It's likely not available on your first playthrough just like in Path of Radiance, which is why it didn't appear in the French Preview video. It showed up in the JP tweet because those are always in a state of debug mode or cycling through multiple saves for the sake of footage. ...ORRRR that's some weird difficulty localization nonsense because FE does have a history of just...screwing over difficulty modes between releases.

So assuming she does do one per day... Diamant, Alcryst, Celine, Fogado, Ivy, Hortensia, Vandad, Framme, Clanne, and Alear makes 10 days. I do feel these are the most likely ones to get artwork. If she does both Alears, that makes 11. Which leaves only one day for a curveball. Maybe she'll do a weird favorite of hers? Sfoglia pretty please? EDIT: Okay actually, it's probably going to be Sommie lol. I'd be fine with that. Maybe Lumera could get done if she only does one Alear / does both Alears in one day?

Sommie deserves artwork, seeing how he's the greatest character in Engage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use the Falchion Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Was able to preorder the Divine Edition from Walmart! WOOHOO! Anyways, Just a random theory based on a random theory and some potential leaks and speculation: Spoiler Someone on Reddit posited the theory that Veyle is Alear's child from the future ala Awakening. While I don't think this will be the case, I do have another theory: What if Alear is the child of the Fell Dragon and Veyle is the child of the Divine Dragon? We know that Alear and the Fell Dragon woke up around the same time, and I think it's alluded to - if not outright stated - that Lumera was the one to defeat the Fell Dragon a thousand years ago. What if part of her plan involved taking out Alear, the child of the Fell Dragon, and "corrupting" them to her side? That's why Alear's hair is mixed but they have the pure redhead "crazy" persona, and why Alear's memory is fuzzy. (This would be far from the first game to use the whole "let's memory wipe the villain and convert them to the side of the heroes" trope.) Over time, maybe Lumera truly thought of Alear as her own child. How does Veyle fit into this? I have two theories, but I'm not satisfied with either. The first is that Lumera or someone else used Veyle's power to "corrupt" Alear, which leaves her bitter and with the silver hair she has instead of the blue hair she may have been born with as a child of the Divine Dragon. (The taking of the power didn't have to occur exactly when the "corruption" took place, so we can preserve the whole "Alear and Veyle don't know each other" thing.) Alternatively, maybe Veyle is just annoyed that her mother paid more attention to a sleeping enemy than her own daughter, and joins Sombron to lash out. I have no idea. Anyways, I think this would be a fun little twist while also giving an homage to Robin. (...and Morgan...and Kana...and Corrin...) Gameplay-wise, Alear would still technically be a Divine Dragon and would be treated as such, as seen in the preview footage. But now we have another potential Divine Dragon as well. Anyways, it's late and I need to go to bed. Don't think too much about this theory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
