#4 celicas and a roy

[2goldensnitches]

another complaint I have about feh’s laziness is my most capitalist opinion to date, though it includes fe as a whole: the lack of promotion and extra materials. I’m not one to buy merch just because it exists, and a lot of merch itself is incredibly superfluous waste, but it’s extremely weird that Nintendo’s biggest mobile title (61% of its profits in the mobile market and over 1 billion usd as of February) gets…nothing. No figurines, no plush toys, no dioramas, no manga (the yonkoma are just shorts), no marketing outside of its twitter account, not even those dinky little character cafés even the most short-lived seasonal anime get.

so far only a few characters have figurines (Lucina, edelgard, corrin, byleth, mrobin, caeda, Cordelia, tiki, alm, celica, tharja, Lyn, ike, dimitri, chrom, felix, bernie, Lilina, sakura, camilla, Veronica, Elise, Claude, Lysithea, marth), and plushies (ike, marth, Roy, 3h lords except yuri, the byleths, sothis, lucina, and fcorrin). Of these, alm, tiki, celica, mrobin, and mcorrin only exist as amiibo because of smash; sakura, caeda, and elise only have nendoroids; all three main 3h lords have pop-up parade figurines plus felix, Lysithea, and Bernadetta, but edelgard has a figma as well; fcorrin and lucina both have amiibos and figmas, but fcorrin has a scale figure along with marth, ike, lyn, lilina, Roy, fbyleth, tharja, camilla, and Veronica. Chrom has both amiibo and nendoroid.

you’d think this is a respectable amount of character rep to buy, except these all came at an extremely slow pace, often releasing at the tail end of their games’ cycles; I’m not a marketing expert, but I am a fan, and I distinctly remember the numerous complaints this has gotten (and still gets!) over the years. There is interest—so where’re the goods? Ironically enough, intsys made more content for the earlier games, including manga (jugdral got at least 4) and novelisations, small board figurines, and even an ova for archanea. It’s understandable that by the time of the tellius games, only artbooks were made due to poor sales, but you’d think that the success of awakening saving the series and fates making them even more money would mean more content. But so far, it’s just been those few figurines plus collected yonkoma. The plushies and scale figures weren’t even made until much, much later. Hell, kozaki had to release the fates art book himself without help from intsys, and corrin’s scale figure was only announced this year.

even houses, the series’ biggest hit to date, only started out with crap cardboard cutouts of the characters’ sprites plus the dining hall and plastic pouches. its bigger merch came later as well, including a certain tea set that is not only quite expensive, but made many fans angry due its release date (nopes). Engage seems to be a little more confident, having stickers, a notebook, keychains, switch icons, konpeito, and a metal tumbler, but it’s still very little compared to what other series have.

in-game, feh is also surprisingly subdued. No splashy animated seasonal banner announcements, little original music, few shorts, no streaming collabs, no tie-ins. The book openings get gorgeous animation from anima inc but no cutscenes are found in the game except visual novel-style text, and, again, it was only until much recently that we’ve seen some other animation in the form of like, five chibi shorts and four regular shorts (one of which got heavily mocked because it’s basically fjorm’s disney princess love song moment for the self insert protagonist). Banner announcements are just jpegs showcased next to gameplay plus a few voiced lines from the vas.

when you get to other games though? You’re not starved for content at all: stuffed toys, miniature figurines, large scale figures, acrylic standees, notebooks, keychains, stickers, patches, tableware, glassware, yonkoma AND full manga and novelisations AND light novels, food, fashion, pillows, cosmetics, chara cafés and anime; they all have streamed announcements, animated cutscenes or fully rendered illustrative cgs with voice work, silly promotional videos on youtube, cast interviews, and collaborations with other games. Like, you could not even pay me to touch waifu trash like nikke or azur lane or blue archive, but they at least bother to promote themselves, for better or worse, and regularly do cross promos with other brands like nier, monster hunter, evangelion, and even sanrio.

Even tears of themis, which is extremely niche even within mihoyo’s ecosystem, has had character cafés, accessories, and crazy stuff that no one wants like a credit card!

I’m certainly not the first to ask, but is intsys allergic to making money? So incredibly short-staffed that their only resources are for game dev and a smattering of in-game animation? Stuck to nintendo’s teat? Purely lazy? Why does 70% of merch come from fans to the point where even fanart is the preferred type of autograph material for the english vas? I’m not sure i or anyone else will get the answers to these questions, but is it really so much to ask for a real sleepytime byleth plushie to hold and squeeze instead of lyn’s eighteenth alt?

[furrylibrarian]

Alright so here's the team I'm taking into endgame for my Fire Emblem Engage Hard Mode run. I don't think any of my class picks are too weird, but I barely did any reclassing on my first run, so it feels significant to me. Units are listed in order of recruitment. I'm putting down a "read more" in case people are worried about getting late-game recruits spoiled, any also just so this big long post doesn't clog up people's feeds too much.

I hope you like Canter, because I sure do

Alear (I named her Syldra)

Sword Griffin Knight; S-Rank Xander; Sword Power 4, Canter

Since Alear gets her Emblem form, I was comfortable switching her off an Emblem Ring. I consider this a pretty straightforward build; Flyer mobility and Canter enable her personal skill very well, and then Sword Power and Chivalry ensure that she'll do solid damage. My only complaint is that I didn't think of reclassing to Griffin (and necessarily unlocking staff proficiency) or of using Sword Power until after losing the first batch of rings, so I didn't get to use Alear in her final form until the lategame.

Clanne

Lance Hero; Sigurd; Dual Assist+, Reposition

I like this setup a lot. Brave Assist, Dual Assist, and the movement boost from Sigurd make Clanne effectively a damage boost for the rest of my army.

Framme

Martial Master; Lucina; Canter, Staff Mastery 5

First and foremost a utility setup. Debilitate with staffs, protect allies with Chain Guard/Bonded Shield, and occasionally bash some kneecaps with Flashing Fist Art.

Anna

Sword Mage Knight; Byleth; Canter+, Momentum

I like Byleth on a mounted character because more movement is good for Goddess Dance. Plus, the big Luck boost helps trigger Make a Killing, which is helpful for me specifically because I am not good at making financial decisions in video games nor in real life.

Yunaka

Thief; Corrin; Canter, Gentility/Bravery+

Daggers+Draconic Hex can cripple most targets, and Fog Dragon Vein+Trained to Kill with a crit-boosting engraving on her weapon means she is occasionally really good at securing kills. Bravery ensures that she can always deal some damage, therefore ensuring that her daggers properly debuff things.

Diamant

Successor; Roy; Canter, Speed +5

Honestly kind of a filler pick when I realized that I had 14 deployment slots for the last few maps and not 12 like I thought. I went with Diamant because he can use S-rank swords and I wanted to start using my legendary weapons.

Ivy

Lindwurm; Celica; Canter, Speed +4

The other character I added to my lineup to fill a newly-acquired vacancy, but unlike Diamant she fills a genuine niche, since I didn't have a good fit for the Celica ring on my lineup that didn't have a different Emblem I really wanted on them.

Kagetsu

Sword/Axe Wyvern Knight; Lyn; Canter, Gentility/Bravery+

Very much a meta pick. I took who seems to be considered the best physical combatant and put him into what seems to be considered the best physical combat class. Lyn ensures that he can double enemy speedsters like Swordmasters and Wolf Knights.

Fogado

Cupido; S-Rank Leo; Canter+, Bow Focus 5

Fogado exists for one purpose and that is to annihilate flyers with the Radiant Bow. Ideally I would have a Claude bond ring for Wind God, but the RNG just didn't pan out.

Panette

Warrior; Ike; Vantage+, Pair Up

Blood Fury+Wrath+upgraded Killer Axe=consistent 100% critical rates. Vantage and Pair Up help to prevent my hubris from killing her.

Hortensia

Sleipnir Rider; Micaiah; Canter+, Staff Mastery 5

Here pretty much exclusively for wacky staff shenanigans, using Micaiah to warp and debilitate en masse. My only regret is that I used up most of my Freeze staffs, and the shop never got them in unlimited supply like I thought it would.

Seadall

Dancer; Leif; Canter+, Quality Time+

Just straight grooving. He gets Leif because I struggle to find another unit that really wants his skillset more than another Emblem's, and Arms Shield protects Seadall from bows and tomes, which are most of the weapons directed at him whenever I fail to move him out of the danger zone.

Mauvier

Royal Knight; Eirika; Canter, Lance Power 4

I gave him a Brave Lance to take advantage of Lunar Brace. I've moved him and Alear to healing duty so that Framme and Hortensia can devote more of their inventories to wackier status staffs.

Veyle

Sword Wolf Knight; Marth; Canter, Gentility/Bravery+

Levin Sword Lodestar Rush goes brrrrrrrrrrr. She can't debilitate as well as Yunaka, but she still can add to poison stacks, which is neat. I also made her Alear's S-Support, and the two of them have tag-teamed a healthy amount of chapter bosses so far.

Engage 9 - 11

Spoilers and thoughts below the cut. Pretty big spoilers for the story this time.

You know it's a good sign when I'm already making plans for the next playthrough. I still want to finish Three Hopes, but Engage is so much fun to play, and there's already so many things I want to do differently to optimize more.

Alcryst and Celine's C support was pretty deep for a C support. They bonded over worrying about their older brothers dying.

Chloe is such a hopeless romantic.

I sense Louis and Chloe may have a romantic leaning support. She understands his ways and he finds her interesting. Their hobbies overlap. He said some stuff that could easily sway romantic is anyone but Louis was saying it . . .

Alfred is so fucking precious, omg. It's so funny remembering people were suspicious of him after his official art was released. Like, I doubt it would even occur to this guy to do something shady or devious. His and Yukana's support started pretty good.

One of my favorite things about Alear is that she's not stupid. Sure, the MC is very basic and generically heroic, but isn't annoying either. Doesn't rush into battle. Isn't irritatingly naïve, etc . . . It's nice.

I'd really like to know more about why Brodia keeps invading the mage country. They said some generic stuff about the mages wanting to wake the fell dragon up, but I hope there's more too it than that.

Oh, shocking, the Brodian king dies (is dying, got shot by that baddie). I'm so surprised. Parents. Dying in my Fire Emblem?

I have a feeling Ivy will be recruitable soon. All her retainers felt guilt fighting the divine dragon, and now her dad left her here to just die. She also lost her ring to us, so that's probably lowered her status on the enemy side too. She also offered her allies a chance to retreat. Definitely doesn't seem evil.

Found Citrinne and Diamant's support interesting. Diamant says he doesn't plan on waging wars when he's king. He acknowledges that it's good for his nobles because it makes them rich, but otherwise is something he wants to avoid. Citrinne supports this and seems to have some kind of diplomatic/messenger role in Brodia.

One of Alfred's talents is making flower garlands 😊. Pretty sure I'm picking him for my S-Support. He's just too adorable, plus I think he and Alear work. Right away he offered friendship and help, and they just have compatible personalities.

Forget Alfred being Dimitri's child, Dimitri is Alfred and Diamant's child. Like he is a bit like both of them smashed together.

Ok, I'm worried. Marth told me I need to stock up on supplies before ch 10 started. This reeks of back-to-back chapters.

I want Rosado on my team so bad already. And Hortensia is not annoying me anymore. She seems honestly worried about Ivy and seems to have no idea what her father is up too.

The artwork for all the places in this game are gorgeous.

Another parent bites the dust. The Brodian king got corrupted. I feel bad for the two brothers.

I made Alcryst attack his own dad. The dialogue made me feel so guilty. It made me feel much worse than Diamant's, until his second half. Alcryst is really growing me as a character too.

Glad the good guys actually tried to kill the villain even though he begged for mercy. That mysterious hooded person showed up (bet it's that girl Alear keeps talking too who had chains on her legs). Also bet it's brainwashing thing. Edit: At least 1/2 guesses right. Ok, probably 2/2 right since this version has never spoken to Alear.

Fell dragon about to eat the king lamo. Literally ate him in a cut scene lol.

Ok, so the 4 wolves are 3 unhinged people and the old guy, who is either a Camus or recruitable later.

Oh. Shit. We just lost the rings. Honestly, I'm more upset seeing all my old protagonists getting turned evil against their will than losing them in gameplay. To be honest, I didn't use them THAT much. It hurts way worse seeing red Marth, Sigurd, Celica, Micaiah, Roy, and Lief.

Losing the Time Crystal. THAT hurts like shit.

Our team took a major L. Honestly, good. 3H's storyline blows this one out of the water, but part of the issue with it was that Edelgard always got her ass kicked except in CF where you just romped over everyone as easily as everyone railroaded over her.

I'm really regretting bringing Citrine and Amber right about now. They're dead weight compared to everyone else who more or less can handle themselves with Alfred, Celine, and Yukana being neigh unkillable at this point.

Fuck yeah! Ivy is here to help me out. And her retainers.

She brought rings. She brought the time turning thingy. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 Thank GOD. It's annoying as fuck to reset an entire chapter over a misclick or something and I can't ever let anyone die. I literally think I allowed one person to die the entire time I've played Fire Emblem lol, and this was before turnback was ever a thing too. Zelkov is my new favorite for this. I could kiss him.

Ah!!!! Lyn. And Lucina 😭😭😭😭😭 My girls. 😭😭😭 Lamo, Alear confused Lucina for Marth.

Ok, that chapter was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I stopped after ch 10 yesterday and was wondering about 11, but not too bad. So far, the difficulty balance in this game is pretty good.

Ivy MVP. Happy to have her after that.

Alear, Alcryst, and Diamant all being like "I'm sorry. It's my fault!" Ivy being like "kinda is a bit my fault." Meanwhile Alfred is just awkwardly sitting here being like . . . "I'm the only who didn't make a dumb call here."

I like seeing Alcryst get angry with Ivy. It seems so human. I like the royal characters so far a lot, except Hortensia but she's growing on me. I just wish Celine also got more attention.

This kinda feels a bit like the end of a part 1.

[dentos-wife]

Since you say Chrobin is inferred what else is inferred and canon in FE?

Disclaimer this is just my option from the stance of an aromantic asexual who only follows the text and what they do with the characters and what I see pushed in side material. But here's what I see and with just the lords

FE1/3/11/12: Marth and Caeda canon, there's no arguing it, all the side material confirms it it's blatant canon

FE 2/Echoes: Alm and Celica canon same reasoning as Marth and Caeda

FE 4: Sigurd and Deirdre canon, Deirdre and Arvis is canon too but it's never pushed not like the former that's the FE4 ship they want you to remember. Seliph as far as I'm aware doesn't have a pairing, his siblingship with Julia is his important relationship and it's platonic

FE 5: I know nothing about this game except what I see in FEH. I think Leif and Nana canon, could be wrong, would be willing to hear someone out who knows that game, if not canon they are definitely inferred

FE 6: Roy and Lilina implied I think like his dad's game Roy can pick anyone to be his wife, IS seems to favor Lilina the most in side material

FE 7: Eliwood and Ninian highly implied this is the one I'd compare Chrobin to the most, Eliwood can marry Ninian but he doesn't have to he can marry anyone else if he wishes, in side material though and FEH they're pushed a lot to the point when I looked it up I was surprised it wasn't canon

FE 8: I...don't think anything is canon or even inferred here. Open season

FE 9: I'm going to get so much hate for this but here we go. It's heavily implied I don't think it's been stated, Soren has feelings for Ike. And I 100% believe that. However...Ike comes off as very ace to me so I don't think Ike can ever love Soren as much as Soren loves him. That said they could easy have a queerplatonic relationship I don't see the two ever separating it just wouldn't be a traditional relationship

FE 10: Micaiah Sothe canon I personally wish it wasn't and don't like it but you can't argue it's not canon, and the side material continues to agree with the game, just ignore it (I sure do)

FE 13: As I said Chrom Sumia was originally implied, but they dropped it now Chrom Robin is heavily implied Lucina has no one, protecting her dad is her character.

FE 14: Gender split. In the game one could argue for MCorrin Azura was slightly implied due to her having a different support per route. For FCorrin due to popularity Leo got a drama Cd and a manga which slightly implied Leo Corrin. That time has passed, Corrin has no implied pairings anymore Corrin just cares about family, everything is platonic

FEH: Yes this is a mainstream game. Almost everyone loves the summoner (because it's you) Fjorm outright is in love with them, Alfonse and Veronica could be implied due to Lif and Tharsir's relationship. Everything is canon here and nothing is canon here at the same time.

FE16: So this one is interesting because of how hard it splits between MByleth and FByleth

Edelgard is heavily implied not just with Byleth but MByleth in particular. In the game the portrait she's drawing is of MByleth if you look close enough, MByleth is also usually for advertisement purposes put with the Black Eagles, Edelgard's house. Because her crush on Byleth is such a part of her character they didn't write it out for FByleth yes, but it was made in intention to MByleth (aka the male players)

Dimitri is implied with FByleth. Her material has her with Blue Lions the same way MByleth's material has him with Black Eagles. It's not as blatant as Edelgard, nothing would be but it's still there (to cater to female players)

Claude: Ha you think they'd care about the character who is a copy paste route? They don't. Poor Claude, nothing is implied or canon with him

FE17: No one but due to Alfred's circumstances changing if you S support him, I might lean to Alear Alfred implied it will all depend on what the side material tells us

#anon asks #please don't hate me for the FE9 thing #I've had some rude aphobic people before please be nice

FE Engage Trailer Breakdown

There are going to be and already are a million of these I know, but I wanted to do one for myself, so here it is! Below a cut because there will be lots of pictures. As in, 30 of them, so I actually need to make a second post to finish my analysis! I go into some speculation, some personal preference, and some references to other FE games, so get ready for a lot of rambling. This goes pretty heavily into detail, so if that's what you're looking for, here ya go!

The first two posts are mostly a breakdown with some analysis here and there. The more complete analysis will occur in a third repost (both of which will be RBs of this one.)

“We live on the continent of Elios- 4 realms surrounding a Holy Land at its center."

Important things to note here: the dragons are entwined, so it seems to be a continuous war. Or so I'm interpreting it! Also you have the traditional white/good dragon and black(purple)/bad dragon. The continent is named Elios (I'm guessing at that spelling). Along the bottom, you can see the FE Protags fighting Black/Purple armored warriors. So, it seems that Historically the FE Protags fought for the White Dragon. Lyn is facing the other direction so at first I wondered if she was fighting for the other side, but I think it's not actually noteworthy and just the whole dramatic myrmidon thing given no one else is facing that way. What I also find noteworthy is who they went for: Celica over Alm was a bit of a surprise, and Sigurd over Seliph was definitely a surprise (I can't name anything off the top of my head, but I feel like Seliph has been the face of FE4 a little more often lately). Eirika over Ephraim was unexpected as well. Lucina being there instead of Chrom was also a bit of a surprise, but then again she got into Smash before Chrom so I think even if I personally haven't considered her more the protagonist than Chrom, she's the more popular of the two. Beyond that, Corrin appears to be F!Corrin based on the headband, but I'm not 100% certain. I'll discuss the top part later. This means our Past Protag Lineup is as follows: Marth, Celica, Sigurd, Leif, Roy, Lyn, Eirika, Ike, Micaiah, Lucina, F!Corrin (probably, maybe M, but I think F), and M!Byleth. This comes out to 6 male characters and 6 female characters- which is what I think about 50% of the reasoning behind the female character pics was. I really like this even split tbh! They're all good characters, so they all deserve it.

"A thousand years ago our lands endured a vicious war with the Fell Dragon."

This time the Evil Dragon reminds me of a King Cobra, seen below. Fell Dragon has been used before in the FE series, the one who pops to mind first being Grima, but I think that name's just there to sound cool. I highly, highly doubt there's any connection between the two.

"We called upon Heroes from other worlds to aid us; heroes known as Emblems. With them, the warriors of our nations fought as one."

Notable here: They seem to all have a sigil floating above their fists. Roy also got a close up and his looks the same as Eirika and Lyn's as far as I can tell. At the end of this pan we go out to see this image is contained in a ring, which makes sense since the Emblems are summoned via ring. As seen below, some of the characters seem to have their Brave Alts as outfits. Marth is particularly notable because he's wearing the OG outfit (seen most recently as his Child Alt in Heroes), but when he's summoned is wearing his modern/remake outfit. Talking to some other FE friends, we wondered if this was maybe to get more than just swords in the mix, since most of these are sword lords. In that case they could've gone for Hector and Ephraim over Lyn and Eirika respectively, but they seemed to prioritize an even gender split over weapon types. In any case, Sigurd has a lance instead of Tyrfing, Ike has Urvan instead of Ragnell, Lucina has her Bow instead of the Parallel Falchion, and Corrin is focusing on their Dragonstone instead of the Yato. (Micaiah is also using magic, but she doesn't get a sword anyway. It may be notable to point out that it's Fire magic instead of Light Magic, but that might just be because Fire is easier to illustrate than light. She has Yune too!)

"In the end, we were victorious in defeating and imprisoning the Fell Dragon."

This dragon design is SO king cobra and I find it fascinating. Noteworthy: Defeating and imprisoning the fell dragon. Not killing. So like with Grima. The Lord who hits the dragon was wearing the Engagement Ring (haha, get it, it's even on the right finger), but other than the blue cape they don't have any noteworthy features.

"In the years since, our world has been safe. But now, I sense a resurrection. The binding weakens."

Then the trailer goes to what I assume are the people of this land? I wonder if they're the people of the Holy Land only, or just the general populace. I also wonder if that's what the modern people still look like (so, will our NPCs be so non-anime it makes the protags feel insanely out of place, or will they be different than this and slightly more anime style). What I find notable is there are actually considerable variations in skin color, so I wonder if we'll get more than just 1-3 token brown characters this time around. If we don't even after having this image of a varied populace, I'm going to be seriously disappointed. These people are on the top part of the opening mural, flipped upside down. After that image goes up in flames, we go on to Obviously Evil Guy, who I expect is our antagonist. Whether he'll be the antagonist the entire time, end up being a puppet near the end, or only show up at the end I don't know. Ashnard for example was always there, while Grima was not (Validar was the one in the story until the end, even if Grima as a concept was present). If I had to guess, he's the human form of the Evil Dragon. His neck...thing reminds me of the Evil Dragon's neck frills, and pointed ears are a definite Dragon Thing™. He could just be a vessel or something, but my bet is on the dragon's human form. This part also has a dramatic music cut. And side note but ooh he appears to be shirtless aside from those cool shoulder pauldrons!

Dramatic Music Transition Time

First, our new protagonist (who by later Gameplay footage appears to be named Alear) appears in the white void to grab an Engagement Ring. To me he looks very...I don't know. Otome Protagonist? Not what I was expecting of FE, but not totally out of place. To be honest i think if you changed all the red in that image to blue, he'd look about 80% more like a normal (albeit fancy) FE character. Looking up the name Alear, all I can find says that it comes from "the Gaelic word Mac-Giolla-Uidhir, which literally means son of the pale youth or son of Odhar's servant.". Here's a second source mentioning Mac-Giolla-Uidhir, though it only mentions MacLear and not Alear. While I used to love Yu-gi-oh!, which is what I think of first when it comes to two-toned hair, I have to say that the two-tone hair is not my favorite. Fire Emblem has never been about realism, but there are limits to what I personally find aesthetically pleasing, and this goes beyond them. He has the Fleur-de-Lis on his coat (below) which is interesting...Also the side loops/ropes remind me a bit of Shigure! I won't bother you with too many pictures, but I thought I would note it. I do have to say that the Fleur-de-Lis is an interesting choice. It's often associated with French royalty, and while FE has always been inspired by various parts of Europe, this seems a little...too direct? It's a pretty symbol though, so it's fine.

Once Alear exits the void, they encounter the White Dragon. I want to say that the reason the shot goes straight from the ring to the dragon is that it looks good for a trailer, rather than that the ring summoned the dragon. Though it could be that the Dragon gifted the Engagement Rings to the original Heroes, so the Dragon could be how the Heroes come to the world (and then it could be an interesting point if in the end both dragons die and so the connection to the other worlds with the other FE Protags is lost).

The Dragon Appears

This Dragon is not the King Cobra type. It's more Falcon-like, with a mix of whatever Corrin was. I'm 99% sure it's the dragon from the intro, since the wings and tail match. I'm also about 90% certain that the girl by the tree is the human form of the White Dragon. It's a direct cut from one to the next, and while the backgrounds clearly don't depict the same area (castle in a grassy valley versus a village with trees), why else cut it like that? And we all know how much FE loves little girls that are secretly dragons. Her dress has a feather motif going on, which matches the feathers of the White Dragon. Something I didn't catch until I zoomed way in is her color scheme- she ALSO has the blue and red thing that Alear has going on! See below. Her ears are hidden, but her hat pokes out at the top. Maybe it's hiding dragon ears like Obviously Evil Guy above. Note added after watching further in the video: Alear is supposedly from a family of Divine Dragons, so maybe they're related. I wonder if he's only half dragon (like Corrin), or if he's a full dragon and either his hair just hides his ears really well, or if the White Dragon/Divine Dragon race doesn't have as long ears as the Black Dragon?

Cool Battle Cutscene Time

Next is a fight scene in which all i could think was "god he looks like a clown." His outfit...does not get better from far away. It looks like the common JRPG protagonist that makes me cringe outfit. Like if you took Sora (KH), Tidus (FFX), Rex (XC2), a Yu-Gi-Oh! character for hair, and a standard FE lord and tried to combine them all into one cohesive character. Except I kind of prefer all of their outfits to this guy's. Well. Tidus' at least. The others are not personally my thing, and it's been so long since I've played a KH Sora has surely gotten a few new outfits. But the point is- I personally believe there's too much going on there and that they should've reduced the color by one and maybe gotten rid of the weird leg band thingies. And the hair is just... I don't like the shape, I don't like the color, I will say no more because this is not Mari's fashion analysis post, this is a video analysis for plot/gameplay post. I've included a comparison of Alear and the Dragon-Sealer's swords below. They don't appear to be the same blade. The Dragon-Sealer's sword appears to have thin holes in the center of the blade (see the lighter lines), and the hilt is a different shape. I wonder if Alear will get a sword upgrade at some point, or if the game will allow them to be completely independent people? For a second I wondered if Dragon-Sealer was maybe Marth, but the Falchion doesn't look like that even if their hair is similar so it doesn't seem so.

New Characters Appear

Next we have our new characters: Not-Dimitri, Percival GBF, and Orb Girl. They seem to be Alear's allies, given Not-Dimitri (Alfred) is playable. There's also Sexy Mage Lady, who I forgot to include in my above image group but just slapped up there. There's not much to note about them. I think the only thing I have to say in terms of speculation is that maybe "Percival" (this is not his name, I don't see it in the trailer) is the son of the red king that shows up later (below)? He has nice armor and red hair and hair color is everything in this game. Actually wait- is it just the quality of this image being bad or does Red King have holes in his sword? Is he the descendant of the Dragon-Sealer? Hm...Looking again the hilt isn't right. I think I'm just seeing things. Beside that, character designs are fine. They're kind of all over the place, but I don't hate any of them. "Percival" has my favorite outfit, Sexy Mage Lady is nice fanservice, Alfred is okay though it does look a bit like he just has a dress shirt on and in my perfect world he'd have another top layer, and Orb Girl...looks like something I've seen before and absolutely cannot remember. It reminds me of some Latin/South American styles I've seen, but in media where I'm not sure if they're legit outfits or something that has been misrepresented/sexualized in media. Some preliminary research isn't giving me any good answers and I'm not an expert so I'll just say that I'm not really in favor of thighs/bellies/arms out on the battlefield in general. FE is not a game of realism, but I love complex armor okay? If she's a dancer type character then I'll give her more of a pass because at least they're not trying to be hard combat units, if that makes sense.

The Summoning and Title Drop

After the battle, Alear summons Marth in what I think is the same field that the White Dragon appears in. The grass and color scheme are very similar, and it also appears to take place in a grassy valley. So maybe the White Dragon does give Alear the ring! After this we get the title drop: Fire Emblem Engage. Engage since they're Engaging the Emblems, and also it's a ring. Gotta say it's a boring title imo.

"You're awake! You're really awake, yeah?"

Also known as "goddamnit FE get a new trope." How many times are you going to do this? I haven't played FE12 and though I've played it I've wiped my memory of FE11, but Awakening started like this (loved it, it was a great plot point), Fates started like this (why did Corrin have amnesia you could've just said that they didn't remember what Garon did because they were a little kid and kids forget things), and Three Houses started like this (why did Byleth have weird sort of amnesia you could've just said Geralt tried to keep them from the world and Byleth, having very little personality, just genuinely wasn't interested in learning much about the world themself). Please stop going with the "waking up to someone over you" trope, especially when accompanied by convenient amnesia. Though I do have to admit I'm slightly more interested in this amnesia than I was the past two amnesia scenarios- this one actually looks like it'll serve the plot in a good way! So I'm not as bugged by the amnesia thing as I said I would be before this game was announced (as in, when I was speculating about the next FE). It's more the "starting with a 'you're awake!'" thing. Then it seems like we have a sibling/twin thing going on. Female pink one, probably male green one. Braids on opposite sides. Both...dressed in pretty modern styles, tbh. What style is this game going for?? We also get a bit of Alear being confused in different areas. My guess is that it's the main base.

"A thousand years? That's how long I've been asleep...?"

The line above is from Alear. So! Clearly we've got a special guy. The question is: is Alear non-human, or was he put to sleep by special magic? Is that magic what wiped his memories (if he's an amnesiac), sort of like Robin's magic/merge mishap with Grima? I have to say that this idea in particular is extremely intriguing to me. This is a personal favorite trope. So other than not liking his outfit (which to be honest, looks perfectly fine from this angle! He's kind of cute here. Just not in that battle cutscene), I think his character has gotten it right right off the bat. About 10 second later we find out he isn't human. He's a Divine Dragon. So that's that. But again, his ears look pretty normal- so is he only part dragon? What's up with that?

"Whoa-whoa-whuh, what are those horrible things!?"

From pink-silver girl. These guys remind me of Risen. Clearly something bad is happening here. What may or may not be notable is that they have a red glow. Evil Dragon is purple. However, Obviously Evil Guy has a red eye in the center of his head, and since my current theory is that Obviously Evil Guy is Evil Dragon's human form, they're probably its pawns. My guess is that this battle is probably the tutorial battle (below). We have a healer (pink), a mage (green), a Jeigan (axe guy, who is later named Vander), and our protagonist. This field ALSO looks like the Dragon Field. Since Alear appears to wake up indoors, my theory is that he'll come back here to encounter the dragon at a later point. Probably within the first 5 chapters.

"If I may, you are a Divine Dragon. A member of a royal family of dragons revered as deities."

Said by a deep voice, my guess is Vander to Alear. Here's the true confirmation that Alear is not a normal human - he's a "Dragon Child". He also wields a sword called "Libération" whose é makes me think that this game is in fact going for a French motif. There's also a character named Céline.

Gameplay wise (below), it looks like FE combat. I'm satisfied here! The enemy is called Corrupted. This game's Risen as far as I can tell. I'm including a second gameplay pic because it looks like they heavily improved upon one of my biggest criticisms of Three Houses, which was empty spaces. So often the game tried to fill the screen with battalions while having empty environments, which was part of what made the graphics look so bad. These aren't super complex graphics, but they don't need to be! I like them actually. The colors are bright, the area is defined, the battlefield has depth, and the UI is visually pleasing. Gameplay wise I think it's perfect. No criticisms here. I'm happy.

"The war...the Fell Dragon... I feel like I can almost remember. But..."

We see some more gameplay and learn that pink girl is named Framme. It also seems we're fighting some Elusian soldiers rather than corrupted. They look like the people who Alear is fighting in one of the cutscenes above (the one I used for the sword comparison). I wonder if Elusia/Elu-something is one of the four realms? Other than that, we meet a few more characters. Etie the archer who's in the gameplay image under the Divine Dragon quote, Louis the general(?) who might be the axe guy under Alfred in that image, and Chloé the pegasus knight who has a fun crit animation. Alfred did a "break," so I wonder if that means there's an armor break mechanic, or if it's just a personal skill? Chloé has the crit quote, "I've had my eye on you!"

"The ring..." "Marth!" "Right!"

Alear calls upon Marth and equips/junctions him. So the Emblems do appear to have at least somewhat of a sense of self! I'm thinking of the Einherjar in Awakening (I did not play #FE, which this has also been compared to.) Equipping an Emblem ring gives stat bonuses, and the Emblems have skills of their own. So that break I mentioned above? That's probably a skill. I'm not sure if people and Emblems can share certain generic skills. I'm also not sure what Bond 6 means. Can you bond more than unit at once? The bond number did not change when Alear bonded Marth. He also got a "Type Bonus" on Divine Speed and Lodestar Rush- I wonder if these only activate if you match the type, or just get stronger if you match the type. Then more map gameplay. There are special spots on the ground, which makes me think map effects. I wonder if they're like the healing spots in Radiant Dawn, or if they have special effects? When someone has a Emblem Bonded their name changes to include them and they get the stats, so we can clearly tell when someone is or is not bonded. The Bond 6 is still there, so maybe you can only bond for a certain number of turns? So that could be something to strategize around- when in a map do you bond with a unit, if they can only be active for certain turns? In addition, I wonder if everyone can access any ring at any time, or if they have to have it in their inventory? Alear as the Lord most likely has convoy access so him not having Sigurd or Marth's ring in his inventory right now tells me nothing. I think it might also be cool if rings worked sort of liked the Thracia fatigue system and had to be recharged. Though that worries me they might dip toward the Tellius Laguz recharge which was...less than optimal. Alfred (below) calls out "Sigurd!" when equipping the ring to which Sigurd responds "Leave it to me!" so I think they have generic quotes. But what's notable here is that 1) Alfred appears to earn a "Type Bonus" from Sigurd, just like how Alead got one from Marth, which makes me think it's a Bonus skill you get if your movement type (or something similar) is compatible with the ring type given they're both cavalry, 2) Anyone can equip any ring, and it appears to be at any time? At least, it's not permanent, and 3) In this image Alfred and Sigurd have Bond 1, but in later footage they have Bond 10. For both Sigurd+Alfred and Marth+Alear, the two fought together on the battlefield. Perhaps Bond is an attribute that depends not on story progress, but is like a Support Rank for rings, where the more you use it, the higher your Bond?

At this point I'm out of available Image space, so I'll have to split it off here!

Here is part 2, going to the end of the trailer. There will be a part 3 with more in depth analysis (rather than just a breakdown and spotty analysis) tomorrow.

The new banner is out so...

Wow! Never saw that it is the Valentia ( Alm) banner again ( with 1 heroes unit in the banner too) I'm still don't read all the weapon / skill but here my thought about it.

- Ascend Celica : I wasn't expected to see more Celica's alt I mean this Ascend alt of her. It's good design but is this mean the lords could be Ascend too? Hmm? I thought it was for another characters like the one who close to the lord or something like Joshua, Florina etc. Fjorm's is kinda weird case but many people said that she is the first legend so yeah, she might be the first to get it. Nevermind that, since I have a dream of Dragon! Roy so maybe he could be one with this ascend alt, right?

- Est : since her sisters are in this so this doesn't surpise me at all. She got cuter outfit once again, Nice!

- Kamui? I now know who is getting worse weapon ( cause it's doesn't like his prf so...) also too bad, since I kinda like his design but at least we are now have spd/def ideal and atk/def oath for the fodder.

- and the last Ymir : wow! SHE IS SO PEAK WITH THAT DESIGNS! The dragon form of her is sp beautiful too ; w ; and the surprise is SHE CAME OUT SO EARLY!!! that's nice! ( she kinda like my concept of dragon! Claude but more brillant!) Her skills is super COOL! drive miracle?!? Wow! I'm going to get her for sure! ( if I could....)

- Atlas : I don't even know him but glad that he also in the 3-4* pool and I wish his weapon is good ^ w ^ or at least, has good skills.

I heard that the GHB is going to be....WTF!?! BRIGAND BOSS?!?! Doesn't he like an NPC or something?!?! ( I know gatekeeper was also the NPC but at least he has more character than this...thing!) Nevermind if his skills are good or I will fodder him.

========

That's all guys! Hope you get what you wanted!

#fire emblem heroes shitpost of midnight #I never wanted the dragon god unit before but I am!!! #ymir is top-tier unit for now! #I also want askr too <3<3<3 #Echoes banner is nice but I just so-so with them #I already know that there will be Ymir soon but never expected this fast!!! #like she's just introduced and then is summonable?!?!?! #feh never did something like this before! #fire emblem heroes

engagements | forsyth

This ball is more than a little nerve-wracking for Forsyth; despite Valentia’s recent strides toward equality, he is still very much aware that in many spaces, he is a commoner among nobles, and here is no exception. Still, he carries himself with all the pride he can muster--not an insignificant amount, for sure! He’s one of only three attendees representing Valentia! And while he can trust Lady Celica, he’s not quite sure if Python will put in the effort befitting an event of this stature, even while attending the ball with Forsyth as his partner...

When even a commoner such as he receives a signet ring, engraved with a fanciful F, however, he realizes he is not exempt from the festivities’ games; indeed, he also is in possession of a piece of paper headlined “List of Engagements.” Five interactions, five stamps...if there is anything that spurs Forsyth to action, it is a challenge. And one with the pride of Valentia riding on it, no less!

Outfit (drawn by Maddie!):

FEH calendar stuff

The upcoming Seasonal banner is going to be a Young Heroes one, so - even if it's Fates-themed - it won't have Soleil sadly.

So Emblem characters are treated like Legendary and Mythic Heroes, eh? That gave me an idea for the effect each Emblem would grant when Engaged (one of them is a spoiler):

Celica - Harkin warp effect, extended to within 2 spaces of target for the sake of ranged units. References Warp Ragnarok. The full description would be "For each foe within 4 spaces of unit, unit can move to any of the nearest spaces within 2 spaces that foe (unless space is impassable terrain)."

Sigurd - Movement+1. I was thinking this would be practically guaranteed and I would be very surprised if it didn't end up being the effect that he gets, but then I realised that Canto is a possibility as well. Movement+1 is more consistent with his FEH versions though.

Leif - Damage reduction if Special is ready. References Adaptable. Not sure what level of damage reduction yet. Could also add some sort of damage boost and make it akin to Godlike Reflexes. Could also just be a Vantage effect instead.

Roy - Divine Vein: Flame in 3x2 area after initiating combat. Literally just Blazing Lion's after-combat effect.

Lyn - Damage at start of combat = number of empty adjacent spaces x4. References Call Doubles's combat effect without actually summoning them. Instead, the effect being based on the number of empty adjacent spaces references how many clones get made when using Call Doubles.

Eirika - Potent Follow-Up 50% when Special triggers. References how Twin Strike is 2 hits.

Ike - Heal 30% or 50% of Max HP when Special triggers. Relatively straightforward. Not sure whether it should be 30% or 50% yet since I'm not too sure on the relative power level these Engage effects are going to have.

Micaiah - Rally/Heal Assist effect is applied to all allies. If I have to stick to existing effects, Celine/Hortensia healing effect. The first potential effect references Staves gaining a "splash" effect when Engaged with her, while still having a use for non-Staff units. The second potential effect makes sense flavour-wise.

Lucina - Damage at start of combat = number of allies within 2 spaces x4, max 12. Is practically All For One's effect if directly translated to FEH.

Corrin - Foe Penalty Doubler effect. I considered Gravity + Seal All on target, then Gravity on target and adjacent foes before settling on this. It references Gloom Breath's effect while still fitting flavour-wise with her Emblem self's status-inflicting effects.

Byleth - Special cooldown count-1 to unit at start of combat. I considered Requiem Dance's effect to reference Goddess Dance but decided it wasn't that good, so went with this effect that sort of references Divine Pulse.

Alear - Damage-reduction piercing when Special triggers. To be honest, I originally had the Potent Follow-Up 50% effect on them but I'd forgotten to add Eirika while writing this and felt that effect made more sense for her. The DR piercing effect just references how powerful Dragon Blast / Bond Blast are I suppose. DLC:

Tiki - +4 to all stats. Just references the stat boosts she gives upon transforming, and Starsphere to an extent. Could also grant Def/Res boosts to allies to reference Geosphere and her Legendary version's C Skill.

Hector - Guaranteed Follow-up + Follow-up denial. Just Storm's Eye's effect.

Soren - [Hexblade] to allies within 2 spaces. I considered stat drops to reference Anima Focus but I figured this would be more powerful while still making sense flavour-wise.

Chrom/Robin - [Rally Spectrum] to allies within 2 spaces. Was originally Hexblade for the user but I changed it when I decided for Soren to grant it to allies. Given how powerful Rally Spectrum is I opted for the user to not get the effect.

Camilla - All-movement-type Aerobatics. A way to reference the movement boost she gives alongside adding Flier movement to units. Could also be Movement+1 if Sigurd gives Canto.

3H Leaders - Close/Distant Counter. I was struggling to think of anything but figured this kind of works given how Edelgard and Dimitri have 1-range weapons and Claude has 2-ranged.

Veronica - 3 row/column Drive All+4. She's very support-oriented in Engage so this references this. Obviously I couldn't have Summon Hero as an option. Contract's possible though, but they'd need to make a new status effect that doesn't allow the targeted unit to move any spaces AND have it be immune to Restore and the like.

6/7: Bridal Blessings rerun (Bridal Caeda, Lyn, Cordelia, Charlotte)

6/8: New Heroes (Unknown)

Yeesh that’s a lot but thankfully less to really get me personally this month. I need Leila for my catalog but that ColorShare sucks (especially if they make the third slot Serra instead of a Hector). I’d like merges on both Grimas but I can wait for male’s next round and female’s remix. Joint Drive might be tempting if they pick Guinivere since I don’t have her for catalog. Special Heroes should be Bridal but I’m not expecting much. Julia is in the same position as male Grima for me. The Mythic has some stuff I definitely want (Eliwood, Claude, + whoever’s new for catalog, the last few merges for Azura and Peony). Form skills might have Petra who I need for catalog but she’ll probably share with Anna if she’s there which is concerning. Still need Bridal Sigrun, only proper seasonal I’m missing at the moment (ignoring the new batch). And then new heroes on the 8th.

Huh... I stand corrected, there’s rather a lot this month. Eheh... fuck lol.

Alright, considering Hyrule Warriors is getting a pseudo-sequel, I figure it’s fairly likely that Fire Emblem Warriors could as well - especially considering how popular the franchise has become in recent years (like with Three Houses). I figured that I’d put together a wishlist/prediction list of games/characters that would be in another entry. There will likely be OCs again, but this is what I assume will be rep from mainline games.

Three Houses

This one is pretty obvious considering how insanely popular it is, and at least some of the selected characters are pretty obvious too.

Byleth (male/female both)

Edelgard

Dimitri

Claude

Rhea

Seteth

Flayn

I would expect some of the students as well, particularly the retainers for each Lord and maybe the knights of Seiros, but I really couldn’t say for sure who I’d expect.

Path of Radiance/Radiant Dawn

Another likely one because of its fan popularity (see: Fire Emblem Heroes polls lol). This one is a little harder to pin down a large number of characters, but I would expect some of them to be almost necessary inclusions.

Ike

Soren

Titania

Mist

The Black Knight (possibly just an enemy commander)

Mordecai/Lethe/Ranulf (probably only one, with others as npcs)

Elincia

Sothe

Micaiah

There’s a really big pool of popular characters that might make it in, and have an even greater chance of being DLC (like other Laguz, Ilyanna, Jill, and Nephenee), but it’s hard for me to say

Shadows of Valentia

I don’t really expect many characters from this one to happen, but there are a few who are likely

Alm

Celica

I honestly don’t know much about this game since I haven’t played it, but I don’t think there are a huge number of popular characters. There may be one or two more from this one to round out representation, but I doubt there’d be any more than that.

Binding Blade/Blazing Blade

These two have some of the all-time fan favorites, and KT/Intsys threw us a bone with Lyn last time. I expect at least some of the characters from those games to appear.

Lyn

Eliwood

Hector

Roy

Lilina

Lyn, Hector, and Eliwood may get costumes where they look the way they did in 6 (since 7 is a prequel to it), and there may be a few other characters that appear (Dorcas maybe?) but I don’t expect a huge amount of representation from these two games outside of the main Lord cast.

Sacred Stones

Much like FE6 and FE7, I don’t anticipate a large number of reps from 8, but I do think we could (read: should) see a few.

Ephraim

Eirika

Seth

L’Arachel (maybe?)

There aren’t many popular characters outside of the twin Lords, but Seth/L’Arachel may round out the cast for reps (assuming there are at least 4 per game)

Shadow Dragon/Fates/Awakening

Considering how popular these games are, I expect at least SOME of the characters in them will (re)appear.

Chrom

Lucina

Corrin

Takumi

Camilla

Marth

Tiki (maybe from Awakening this time though)

Caeda?

Tharja?

There’s always a chance that ALL previous characters may appear, but I doubt it.

Obviously I could be totally wrong, but there are a few I feel are all but guaranteed. Hopefully we get another Fire Emblem Warriors that has wider representation from the series as a whole (especially considering the backlash they got from fans about the lack of reps in the game we have now), but there’s an unfortunately high likelihood that at least half of the games on this list won’t appear. They may appear as DLC, but it’s really hard to tell.

Anyway thanks for reading my stupidly long post about a hypothetical sequel to a game I’m playing right now lmao

Fire Emblem Cipher TCG Is Ending:

So, unfortunately Fire Emblem Cipher TCG is ending with Series booster 22: it’s really unfortunate as a lot of characters are likely going to get shafted and this will be their last chance to to get Cipher art. That being said it was promised by Mr. Kawade that Series 22 will have an abundance of characters, but also a bunch of amazing artists! Some of which would be:

Kurahana Chinatsu

Hidari

Yusuke Kozaki

Daisuke Izuka

Senri Kita

Sachiko Wada

Eiji Kaneda

Rika Suzuki

Kotaro Yamada

Mayo

Saori Toyota

As you can see from the image on the top of my post there will be a HUGE illustration dedicated to the Fire Emblem protagonists across the series. Each artist listed will be collaborating on this artwork so one can assume each artist will draw their respective characters with a few exceptions like Yamada likely helping Sachiko Wada, otherwise Wada would have to draw Roy, Eliwood, Ephraim and Eirika, I think it’s kinda easy to spot who is going to be who, but i point it out for those who our interested. I’ve already said 4 of them.

Obviously this is Marth representing all his games, and behind him is the best couple in FE lol, Alm and Celica from Fire Emblem: Gaiden and Shadows of Valentia. Signature sword and shield for Alm while Celica is using her trademark magic also chronologically despite SoV being the 15th game Gaiden was the second game.

This one is obviously Sigurd and Seliph from Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War. Part 1 Sigurd is the main lord while Seliph picks up the slack in part 2. You can even see Seliph’s pony tail outline lol

Next is Leif. Cousin of Seliph who was the protagonist of Fire Emblem: Thracia 776

Next is Roy from Fire Emblem: Binding Blade, and his father Eliwood from the prequel Fire Emblem: Blazing Blade.

This one was a bit difficult at first, but as I used process of elimination it became much easier. This is Ephraim and Eirika from Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones.

Come on Ike obviously stands out from the rest of the lord just look at that CHAD energy lol. Jokes aside this is obviously Ike from his Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance incarnation is while next him is the heroine of Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn Micaiah.

Next is the father and daughter duo Chrom and Lucina from Fire Emblem Awakening. Not only is their posing very noticeably but the Awakening version of Falchion has such a distinct design that I can easily see it despite the drawing just being an outline right now.

Next is Corrin from Fire Emblem: Fates I think the male version is much easier to see while I’m only making an assumption that the female version is right next to him. The silhouette next to M!Corrin looks far less detailed with no hair outline at all, but I assume it’s female Corrin. Their posing is parallel to each other and very similar. I can also see the outline of her sword, Yato rather easily in the more ambiguous silhouette. If it’s not F!Corrin then I have no clue.

Lastly is Byleth from Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Unfortunately Byleth is our last Fire Emblem protagonist that will be featured in Fire Emblem Cipher. All subsequent protagonists and characters won’t be featured in Cipher. As sad as that is hopefully Heroes will continue for a long time to give them a chance. Anyway It looks like Bylass is getting the shaft in this artwork which is a bit unfortunate, but here’s hoping that she gets something special outside of this artwork. In this drawing Byleth definitely seems to be in his Elighntend One outfit as opposed to his typical outfit and carrying his trusty Sword of the Creator with him.

That covers everyone all other lords or protagonists like Lyn, Hector, Robin and the 3H Trio likely won’t be in this artwork. Despite that this is proving to look like a very ambitious illustration and I can’t wait to see the result.
