maybe he is the son of mist. he would be related to ike also therefore able to carry the ragnell lol

 

im a bi guy thats why maybe i dont care as much but yeah gay marriage would be better because i dont like playing as a girl

 

i bought the ike dlc in awakening asap, ike is my fav guy by far thought i wasnt too fond on the art they used for him in awakening. my ultimate girl is ilyana and my ultimate guy is ike

 

i hope we get some news about if soon like its been 2 months since the last news

 

OMG yeah, Ike's art was HORRENDOUS! I didn't buy that DLC but I saw the image

 

Where was his stomach? He looked part machine.

 

 

 

 

I actually liked playing as the girl in Awakening! Just some gay options would make me even happier =}

 

The next bit of news will most probably be at E3, so in like 4 or so months~

 

Maybe sooner hopefully \O/

Hoshido design's look so much better than Nohr, but I wann play bothhh OTL

 

I'll probs go Nohr in my first playthrough, then Hoshido, cause I wanna play the path I'm more interested in later =} The fact that both paths cost money though...OTL

[Step]

thx for this

 

 

i actually like nohr more atm too many red heads in hoshide

 

my current fav charries are

 

I tihnk her design is a little embarrassing lol, I like her face, but her panties are just hagning out there, it's like she forgot to wear pants with her upper armour just cutting off.

 

The other two I really like, but again, I think they're both Hoshido~

I'm voting for Lucina and Ike, but I'm not sure if my last vote should be for Link or Kitana .-.

 

I like Kitana more, but I prefer the Link picture.

 

Also, I was just playing SSB4 yesterday as Lucina, I love how bitchy she is to the other FE cast, when she beats Ike she's all like "And they call YOU the Radiant Hero?" and when she beats Marth she's like "THIS is the hero king?" And the (female) Robin is just as bitchy to her "How can you protect Chrom if you can't even protect yourself?"

 

I love it so much, shame quotes are so limited .-.

[Step]

yas slay give those votes to ike

 

ikr @ the lucina quotes and i also like how all the charries are color palates of other fire emblem awakening characters im always using her tharja palate 

 

I use her Tiki and Sumia one =} those colour schemes are SOOO good, Cordelia is my fav but that colour scheme is my least fav OTL too white, not enough colour.

 

Also! Female Robin's red one is a reference to Anna =} I never use that though, I use the pink one cause Pink4Lyfe.

[Step]

I prefer Ike over Marth and Lucina in Smash.

 

Frederick's not my favorite but I pretty much like almost every character from Awakening because everyone has at least one good thing about them - whether it's personality, costume, skills, etc. That's why I think Awakening was so popular. There was a diverse range of characters that could appeal to many different fans.

 

If I had to pick favorites, for guys it would be Vaike and Lon'qu. For girls it would be Miriel, Maribelle, and Nowi. To be honest, I got a lot of the children characters but I never enjoyed using them as much as the original characters who I had spent more time getting attached to.

 

Did you prefer using the original "adult" characters? Or the children? I know many people online preferred the kids 

 

Marth and Lucina actually are some of the worst character in this game, last game Marth was good cause his moves came out fast and strong, now they're super slow.

 

I'm more attached to the older characters, for the same reason you are lol, with the kids, you could get them to be much stronger cause of them inheriting their parents skills and whatnot, but I just don't care for them as much, some I even forget about their exsistence until someone brings them up, like...Sully's child, I forget her name.

 

Maribelle, Cordelia, Cherche, Mirerel >>>>

Edited April 13, 2015 by Step

They introduced too many child characters and not enough time with them imo. Plus leveling them up can be a hassle when you've already got well-trained adult characters. I don't even recall Sully having a kid so props to you.

Yessss Maribelle and Miriel  I knew I could count on the Hyoyeon fans to have good taste.

 

Yep yep! Some child characters were nice, like Yarne or Lucina or Indigo but yeah, they introduced too much in too little time that I never really wanted to use them over their parents, there is this DLC The Future Past that expands more on the children and their time there but...eh I don't feel like spending £5 on three maps, I might when I have some free time.

 

Maribelle and Miriel are so fab I can't! I have a thing for the very blunt, socially awkward type character.

[Step]

There's a livestream going over the new FE Trading Card Game "Cipher" that starts in about 12 hours. Unfortunately, it will only be in Japanese but I figure I'll watch anyways in case they show any new cards.

 

LINK: http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv216702710

 

 

 

I like Olivia's design and personality but I could never keep her alive! She's a big step-up from other dancers in the series like Ninian who couldn't even fight but still, I wish the dancer class in general wasn't so weak. Then again, that would make them overpowered and the game would be too easy.

 

 

I never paid for the DLC either. It doesn't seem worth it. Plus I'm a big stickler for physical copies of games (books, music, etc.) so I don't like only having something that exists in digital form. That's why I hope "Fire Emblem: if" will be released as 2 physical versions in the West like Japan...instead of 1 physical and 1 digital.

 

Dancers suck, the problem is that while Olivia's ability is cool she doesn't have the stats to really use it effectively.

 

I wouldn't mind if Olivia couldn't attack, but she's so weak in every other way as well, it's...not worth it, her movement is shit, she can't move further than the average unit so you can't really give the people in the front lines any help and even if you could her defences are shit so you always HAVE to keep her behind everyone else and be careful.

 

I much preferred the Herons in FE9/10, they couldn't attack, but they could move 6-9 when transformed (depending on the heron), they can fly so they can traverse all terrain with ease, they could restore more than one persons moves transformed (Leanne can heal two untransformed and Rafiel four untransformed!) and they can passively heal people every turn by just standing next to them and they had other stat-boosting/reducing moves, also I forget, but I also believe after they recover someone's moves, if they haven't used all the movement spaces they can move after it, so they could restore and run, it's been a while since a played PoR/RD so I'm not 100% but despite their flaws, such as their lack of attack and low defence, they didn't feel useless.

 

I hope they do something to dancers to make it seem like you're not babysitting them next game, give them more stat-changes, or more movement or something...

 

I pay for DLC, but there are so many maps in Fire Emblem Awakening it just doesn't seem worth it, I'd pretty much have to pay another £40+ pounds for all of them =/ but I think FE:If will unfortunately only be one pack outside of Japan with the other as DLC, plus a third storyline is hidden behind DLC, I hate when companies do that =/ make a full game and then take parts out of it and hide it behind a paywall, makes it feel like I'm paying full price for half of a game, it's one of my least favourite things in gaming, generally with stuff like that I don't buy games until they've gone super low in price but knowing Nintendo, they'll probably have finally lower the price by like...10% on my 30th birthday.

Those nice looking cards man, I'm not in the business of collecting cards (anymore) but man, if Nintendo releases some kind of Yu-Gi-Oh/Hearthstone type game with those Fire Emblem cards on the 3DS/WiiU, I'm there like...day 0.

[Step]

 

• New information about Fire Emblem: if
• The developers wanted to make a game which took the Arran/Samson choice from FE1 to its extreme
• Nohr version has more mission types (defend, break through the enemy, etc)
• The two versions share about 1/6 of the story, the remaining 5/6 plays out differently depending on the version
• If you download the alternate route you can use a save copy at chapter 5 and choose the other route without replaying the opening chapters
• The third route has a difficulty level midway between Hoshido and Nohr
• You'll be able to lower the difficulty in the middle of the game if you find Nohr too hard.

I'm so glad to hear that both versions will be mostly original content. That's basically 3 new FE games (Hoshido, Nohr, and the DLC) instead of just 1. Also, yay for more mission types. Awakening had too many simplistic "kill all the bad guys" missions.

 

 

 

 

Oh poo, that means Hoshido will lack that variety? Hoshido is sound less and less apealing OTL I might just play it first cause it sounds like going from Nohr to Hoshido would feel like a downgrade.

 

I do wonder how many chapters each story will have, it's normally around 20 in one game, right? Cause they're working on three different paths, it might be less than that for each individual route, hope not though.

[Step]

Hmm, I don't think the awakening fans would mind more modes, but you're right, that does make sense.

 

On one hand, I like having a lot of characters because it gives you more options to pick from. Then again, I'm very indecisive and struggle with choosing a party. Also, if they do put in a lot of characters, they should develop them more instead of just having 1 quirk like "oh she's really nerdy" (Miriel) or "he's obsessed with candy" (Gaius)

 

Just what I was thinking, I don't mind a smaller cast! Just as long as they're suitably fleshed out, I ended up not caring for so many characters in Awkening cause they seemed sooo inconsequential to the plot and didn't really have much going on, especially the ones who ended up joining later like Say'ri and the children, I already had a full plate so I wasn't as invested and I didn't really have a reason to be.

 

And yeah, I suck at picking units, I want them all to be the same level for everything and all get used evenly, but I cannot lest I risk being underleveled OTL

How you feel when Robin gets S-support with Lucina:

(this will be even funnier if you've seen 22 Jump Street)

 

 

loool I didn't see 22 Jump Street but still, I die!

 

Speaking of! This cracks me up whenever I see it

[Step]

I got my sister a Marth amiboo, she lovess Fire Emblem, she was actually the person to introduce me to that series with PoR/RD.

 

It was sold out so I had to get her one for £20~ =/ It was Christmas and she really helped me out with something so I was feeling generous lol I should've gotten her Ike as that's her fav lord, but alas, he wasn't out yet~

 

I don't have any FE amiboo's for myself though lol and stupid Nintendo with it's under stocking just exhausts me.

 

I hope the function for the amiboo's isn't too big, I don't like amiboo's being used as way to unlock important game mechanics, locking big things out of games and in a £15 paywall grates on me, even if I have/want the amiboo.

 

I think they'll prob do the same thing Codename S.T.E.A.M did though and just allow you to use those amiboos as units in the game.

FE7 - Lyn and Hector

 

Path of Radience - Titania and Makalov but IDK why, I don't remember Makalov, but I like his face, so expressive and weird looking! Characters like Tibarn and Ranulf were more memorable to me...but still Makalov lol

 

Radiant Dawn - I mean in terms of character design, Titania, in terms of how much I like them as a character....Aimee lol she was so fun!

For guys...Makalov again =}

 

Awakening - Maribelle and Vaike

There's this one character in 7 that reminds me of Maribelle, Serra.

[Step]

wow first person i meet that likes makalov lol.From what i gathered he is mainly disliked because he was an asshole to marcia and astrid

 

yay slay titatnia love ha, she is so badass in my first play through of Por i made her way too strong lol she annihilated entire armies by herself

 

Oh yeah maribelle and serra, yeah they are indeed alike they are both from rich families, they are kind snubby but still good hearted plus they are healers

 

 

I completly forgot everything about him, I just like his design, if I ever get around to replaying it, I might hate him as well~ lol I just saw his picture one day and was like...oh yeah, he was in Fire Emblem! I don't even remember using his unit..IDK man, it's weird lol My memory of PoR/RD is very hazy, I remember my favourite characters and the lords and the laguz cause I really thought they had awesome designs, esp. the wolves! but outside of that...umm IDK.

 

I really like Marcia though, I'm generally not big on Pegasus Knights, but I really liked her unit, but Astrid I completly forgot about her exsistence.

 

The PoR needs to come on the Wii U! I can't be bothered to boot up my gamecube =/

Edited May 1, 2015 by Step

[Step]

you could always play it in your wii thats what i do.

 

i remember everything about por have replayed it at least 10 times

My Wii is in my sisters room ehhhhh OTL

[Step]

Sorry to double post but I want to keep last post for the new mechanics and this post for story/character-related things.

 

One of the pages has a super-blurry blurb about Hoshido and Nohr's ties to dragons--in particular, there's a mention of them worshiping some kind of dragon, a Divine Elder Dragon or something. It seems to suggest both of the royal families have dragon blood.

 

You can customize the Avatar's:

- Body

- Hair

- Hair Ornament

- Hair Colour

- Face

- Facial Features

- Voice/Vocal Tone

 

The name of the younger Nohr princess's name is Elise

 

New art of Marx, Camilla, and Leon

 

 

as always, credit goes to the people over at Serenes Forest

You can't customise skin colour? Aww =/ Edited May 12, 2015 by Step

[Step]

Probably not. The avatar is related by blood to the Hoshido side so it wouldn't really make much sense if (s)he was a different tone than them. They could compensate by adding characters with more diverse skin tones like Basilio, Flavia, and Panne had in Awakening.

 

Eh, that makes sense, I just thought it was kind of an odd omission in the last game so they'd def have it this game. I wanna make my brown avatar ;O;

 

The rest looks great though! I can't wait to see what the 3rd more ~adult version of the avatar looks like

Adult female ava was my fav design last game

Tho that hair looks fug in this pic

 

About the no more weapon durability, I...never actually cared to much for that, I always had more than enough weapons, but yeah I NEVER used the legendary weapons for fear that I'll need them later! Thing is though, I always got along fine with just the basic Iron/Steel weapons and what have you, I wonder how they'll balance they more broken super weapons...

Edited May 13, 2015 by Step

[Step]

They  changed up the weapons system!

http://gematsu.com/2015/05/fire-emblem-if-changes-up-the-weapon-triangle#AzRcMvUof1gydd6S.99

 

Taken from Neogaf~

 

The Weapon Triangle, which has been a mainstay in the Fire Emblem series since 1996, will see a reform in the upcoming Fire Emblem If for 3DS, the latest issue of Famitsu reveals. Instead of the standard swords over axes over lances, it’s been changed to swords and magic, over axes and bows, over lances and concealed weapons.

In brief, swords and magic are stronger than axes and bows, while axes and bows are stronger than lances and concealed weapons, and lances and concealed weapons are stronger than swords and magic.

As previously reported, weapon durability is no longer present in Fire Emblem If. But the disadvantages of this are that the stronger the weapon, the larger the unit’s disadvantage in terms of abilities. For example, the Bronze Sword has no chance of landing a Critical hit, but has +10 Critical evasion, while the stronger Steel Sword has -5 evasion and makes it hard to use a Pursuit attack. Only staffs restrict the amount of times they can be used.

 

 

Maids, butlers, and shinobi use concealed weapons, which have weakening effects on enemy abilities when attacked.

 

A maids and butletrs class sounds....stupid lol

Edited May 19, 2015 by Step

[Step]

looks like there will be more of a focus on abilities, I'm interested to see how that plays out

 

The maids sound like they're gonna suck but look how cute Felicia is.

 

Why do you think the maids are going to suck?

 

And yes, she very cute =}

[Step]

 

 

maid and buttler class what even, what are concealed wepaons?

 

 

I'm going to assume small weapons that can be easily hidden like daggers, throwing knifes, kunai etc.

[Step]

^

i hope not that would suck

 

also is it me, or the creators went crazy with how many characters can use staffs

 

so far we have felicia, sakura, elise, blue hair maid

 

like thats an overkill tbh of healers

 

Maids aren't healers though and they use conceled weapons, I don't think they use staffs, and aqua isn't a healer either, she's a songstress, IDK if that has healing properties but .

 

Sakura and Elise are in two different stories, so it makes sense for them to have similar classes cause otherwise one story would lack a healer.

 

I just figure they're going to be like dancers with low defense since both archetypes are frail girls. Hopefully I'm wrong.

 

I'm thinking they'll be similar to thief's in that they have a poor defence but high evasion or something or maybe they'll be unexpected glass cannons and pack a big punch to compensate! Maids and butlers just look like the same class but gendered, so I think they'll all might share similar attributes

Edited May 19, 2015 by Step

[Step]

 

 

Could be thought felicia sprite in the ingame appareance is seen holding a staff, so im guessing she can use staff

 

im guessing the maids can use staff and concealed weapons.concealed weapons arent as strong supposedly so it would make sense for them to use staff mainly and have concealed weapon as a secondary thing

 

Hmm, I don't remember the sprite~

If concealed weapons weren't as strong that would kind of throw the weapons triangle out of whack lol, plus it has an addionational effects to the weapons, so I'm not sure, possibly~ but even then it's two staff weilders in each story, which I think sounds fine.

 

I don't think it matters ultimately, just as long as they all are unique on their own.

[Step]

yeah and damn the amount of staff users on this game tbh

 

the two maids, the butler, sakura,elise

 

thats like 5 thought at this point its looking like butlers and maids are the better option since they can also attack

 

like why use a priestess that can only heal when you can use a maid that can both attack and heal

 

Isn't there a picture of Sakura with a bow and Elisa using magic? Maybe they have their own offence~

[Step]

Without knowing anytihng about the characters, Hinoka is my current favourite, I LOVEEE Red-heads and she has a wicked style~

 

Honestly, when I first saw the trailer I thought she was like...a prettier Sully lol
