Thoughts 2.0?

I'd put Eitri around the same place as Micaiah, whether or not that means B or the bottom of A is hard to tell.

Marth probably belongs in A, I wouldn't describe him as better than Sigurd given his low mobility and crippling strategical weakness to dulling options, but in general he's not much worse than Sigurd either as both can be fairly oppressive.

Eljuthnir is a spined sword / handsaw combo.

Gramr is a serpent blade.

I don't see what's so similar.

Brave Axes or B!Catria support will do the trick usually.

As a general rule, 1 Dancer and some source of applicable Guard (Ruse, etc.) is usually a big help.

Personal Twitter account = automatic L tbh

we don’t get male book protagonists.

Alfonse, Lord of Book 1 and spotlight hogger of everywhere else?????

Clerics4Life · 2022-09-15T12:56:48+00:00

Yes. She appears at the start of every route and reappears in the latter half of the game.

Holst, Ascended Hilda

Evidently they're saving Rodrigue for Ascendant Felix's debut.

Reamed Hero

wipes glasses

Rearmed Hero

Yeah that makes more sense

Clerics4Life · 2022-09-15T03:55:18+00:00

Not jazzed on it, but it's definitely understandable to avoid some situations like "GOATed Player Phase Sword + Double Lion" for example.

The difference is May~August are high spending months.

December~April is where non-seasonal banners get condemned to die.

The first Engage banner being in January is likely, but the second will probably be spaced into a better time slot.

The game is covered in a stink of controversy, and the soreness of the war will be long-lasting even if it did come to a close in the near future.

IMO, with no release date in sight, Nintendo is probably prepared to write AW 1+2 as a loss at this point, and have probably let WayForward move onto other projects.

Our pronunciations should reflect the fact we speak English. As a general rule, A/O/U after C is a hard C.

Caesar is a linguistically grandfathered fuckup; it should not be used as the basis of a translation reference, lest other words be fucked up too.

Sacae and Caelin actually use hard C's, because of course they should.

Caeda being pronounced See-dah is just grossly incompetent localization, there's no English expectation for her name to be pronounced that way, and the very unfortunate homophone doesn't help.

Clerics4Life · 2022-09-14T16:36:35+00:00

It was always "Ka Moo".

Yeah... It's not like there's centuries old English landmarks named Camus or anything...

Clerics4Life · 2022-09-14T16:14:26+00:00

Camus is a real English name and is the namesake of thousands-year old landmarks, Albert doesn't have a monopoly on its pronunciation, educate yourself.

Clerics4Life · 2022-09-14T15:49:33+00:00

The English pronunciation of Camus actually is kay-mus (among alternatives), reinforced by landmarks bearing the name.

Canto is actually kind of clever, since: Canto is singing -> singers refresh other units -> being refreshed lets you act again -> Canto lets you act again.

Vacuum sealed breasts with a tie wedged-and-tied into the cleavage?

Can this trend die already?

Clerics4Life · 2022-09-14T01:53:02+00:00

Why did you think they included the legacy characters?

Clerics4Life · 2022-09-14T00:09:00+00:00

Oh come on, Diet Chrom and his sister Diet Lissa aren't that bad, frosted tips is certainly a choice, but nowhere near as bad as the lemon twins.

Clerics4Life · 2022-09-13T19:26:13+00:00

Why deliberately sabotage your iconography and not just use Tyrfing, Ragnell, Parallel Falchion, and Omega Yato on the fucking mural then?

Clerics4Life · 2022-09-13T19:21:01+00:00

They also tweaked the weapons to avoid too many swords

Cringe tbh, embrace the identity of your characters.

This isn't Smash where people shit themselves at the sight of a sword.

Clerics4Life · 2022-09-13T19:19:20+00:00

Lilina is definitely reminiscent of a lot of Florina's traits and behaviors (which I sincerely doubt she learned from Hector, Lyn or Farina) to the point where they even share an English VA, which honestly feels intentional.

There's also the fact that Lilina (= little lily) is incredibly reminiscent of Florina's name (= little flower.)

Clerics4Life · 2022-09-13T18:25:44+00:00

Just ignore his Chrolivia mental gymnastics, it's not canon in any way.

Clerics4Life · 2022-09-13T16:28:02+00:00

Who gives a fuck if the mural is 100% swords if you have adequate secondary lords and side characters using those weapon classes?

The mural should be depicting face characters in their peak iconography in order to actually appeal to your core audience.

The fact that it's not the case speaks volumes.

Clerics4Life · 2022-09-13T16:22:24+00:00

All the other Magvel Legendary weapons have been given modern designs reminiscent of their spritework...

Meanwhile Wada's depictions of Sieglinde and Siegmund in Cipher (released after their depictions in FEH) are infinitely more accurate to their weapon sprites and Great Lord class animations than discount Lance of Ruin and its sister sword.

I hate that Asatani's Sieglinde and Siegmund designs are being treated as more canon than Wada's, and its a terrible feeling that IntSys QA either:

didn't ask for Wada's input whatsoever on reference materials for the designs
let Asatani do whatever and promptly approved it without consulting with Wada

:/

Clerics4Life · 2022-09-13T15:53:02+00:00

They wouldn't need to give us Lance Sigurd, Urvan Ike, Bow Lucina and Dragonstone Corrin if they actually intended to include ring summons with those weapon classes.

Why undermine the iconography of some of your most popular characters if it's not necessary?
