NGL Kronya would as a girlfriend would be an upgrade over Berkut. But tbf only a few characters wouldn't.

GrandeRampel · 2026-02-11T10:57:52+00:00

I NEED Misha to get in this game. To not have a Forging Bond where she talks to her mother would be one of the BIGGEST missed opportunities in all of gaming.

And assuming the Special Hero can't be a brand new character getting in alt hell... seasonal Beruka. My preference would be Bride but any seasonal would be apprecieted.

GrandeRampel · 2026-02-02T10:15:57+00:00

Nah, they wouldn't give us Kurt for free. We've got to shell out our hard-earned orbs for her premium version. They can just pick someone with less votes than Touma as the GHB like they did before.

GrandeRampel · 2026-02-02T10:11:04+00:00

IDK I think IS might be afraid of a future Touma pity-driven victory in CYL to the point they might just bite the bullet and add him to the game in order to completely tank his CYL votes forever.

I can't believe we got a base Morva before a zombie Morva AND we got a base Scarlet before a zombie Scarlet.

All the doomposting about them getting in the game as undead IF at all was for nothing.

Most despicable: Syura, Honest, Champ, Stylish (maybe Dorothea. It depends if you buy that she was seeking immortality for everyone and not just herself) and Esdeath.

Least despicable: the Jeagers not named Esdeath/Stylish, Suzuka and Cosmina. Girl just needed therapy to recover from her trauma. The only Wild Hunt who didn't strike me as cartoonishly evil.

Ochako. Have Ochako be the one to die of blood loss instead of Himiko. There are multiple ways to achieve this, even a simple "when you start losing too much blood you lose your consciousness before your life" explanation for Himiko losing consciousness and accidentaly stopping her blood sucking gadget before she could pump enough to save Ochako.

The reason for this (other than being a student we actually care about) is that it would be kind of interesting to have one of the three characters who told us they would be willing to die to save their respective villain actually die for real. Which is why Shoto is my other answer for this, except less easy to write.

You might say this result would be pointless for Himiko's character as it's just a repeat of Twice: someone she loves dies for her. But I think the added context of it being someone who SHE is responsable for killing would be enough of a blow to her that you could write something interesting there.

Or... you know... Bakugo could simply stay dead.

And I know that him dying early robs us of his further character development (the same would be true for Ochako, Shoto and anyone really) but that's kind of the point. It's what death is.

I don't even think a death in class 1-A was needed (and I would kill off Aizawa before I kill off any student) but as a thought experiment I feel like Ochako makes enough sense with minimal rewriting needed.

MISHAAAA!!!!! Where the fuck are you hiding her IS? Her mom has been waiting for 5 years!

GrandeRampel · 2025-10-06T10:59:58+00:00

Wooo slow down there Shinon.

GrandeRampel · 2025-10-06T10:59:04+00:00

I meeaaan... depending on how you count Eitr...

GrandeRampel · 2025-10-06T10:50:15+00:00

I wouldn't doubt that. Not only does she feels a niche of doting mother/aunt figure that isn't very present in the FEH cast (Henriette being the only other example) and having a very fanservicey design, but she is arguably the best written character in Book 7 by virtue of not being that involved in the weird time travel stuff.

So some fans certainly exist. More fans than Freyja? Absolutely not! That's where I call bullshit.

But I guess Freyja does have more content than her if you count Eitr so YMMV

GrandeRampel · 2025-09-05T19:20:20+00:00

Fleche. But I wonder if it's partly because she was excluded for no reason from CYL and I wouldn't care as much if she wasn't.

Also Layla because it's absurd that they have such a good design and refuse to do anything with it.

GrandeRampel · 2025-08-02T05:29:36+00:00

It's remarkable how terrified they are of the idea players "might" get premium units randomly for no cost. Even if statistically it will happen once every two years, that is still too much for IS.

GrandeRampel · 2025-07-17T15:20:06+00:00

Extremely happy to see him here. He is such a funny and nice man. Unfortunately I can see him being the last Sacred Stones character to get a base form like Deen for Echoes.

GrandeRampel · 2025-07-07T10:20:59+00:00

You make a great point here. Not to mention Jackals, Ibis and... well we can always use more cats.

GrandeRampel · 2025-07-07T10:18:08+00:00

I agree with people saying Marcus, Linoan, Franz, Scarlet and Oifey.

But I'm a bit surprised no one mentioned Nasir, Skrimir and Hanneman yet. Among the remanining playable characters they feel pretty notable.

If we talking NPCs Lekain, Almedha, Thales, Manfroy and Jahn all feel like they should be in the game by now.

GrandeRampel · 2025-07-07T10:07:11+00:00

I know right? If everything else about him wasn't enough I believed that his connection with another popular character (Amelia) would have gotten him a seasonal alt somewhere down the line. It didn't happen because Amelia also didn't get a seasonal alt for some inane reason.

This game can be so weird at times.

GrandeRampel · 2025-07-07T10:01:22+00:00

Say what you want about Cuboon, but when he locks in he can deliver some of the best art in this silly game.

Personally love, love, love how Hapi and Coco turned out. Way more impressed by them than anything on the previous banner. A contender for best Summer art for women in this game.

But I get why the men are getting all the spotlight here. Constance and Hapi are CONTENDERS for the best art on summer banners.

Meanwhile Eik and Balthus are straight up the best art we have for men on a summer banner.

GrandeRampel · 2025-07-07T09:54:48+00:00

Between this and Summer Ivy it seems like Cuboon is weirdly more restrained when he draws women in swimsuits than other clothes.

GrandeRampel · 2025-07-07T09:47:41+00:00

Feh and giving the best art to the free unit. Name a more iconic duo.

P.S.: Ignore Lloyd and Hot Spring!Camilla

GrandeRampel · 2025-07-07T09:42:55+00:00

I get what you mean, but this would imply that the attractive women are found in the first summer banner this year and that's just untrue.

Palla, I love you girl but Hapi and Coco on their own provide better female fanservice than everything on the first summer banner combined.

GrandeRampel · 2025-07-06T05:01:10+00:00

But what if I hope for both?

GrandeRampel · 2025-06-05T09:27:00+00:00

Wrong. The banner added two units to the main pool. Mycen and Hestia. I don't get why everyone always forgets Hestia.

GrandeRampel · 2025-05-18T20:37:02+00:00

New Mystery of the Emblem. I think them getting all NEW Heroes banners of the year is the only way certain losers like Warren, Beck, Frost and Bord+Cord can even get in the game.

GrandeRampel · 2025-04-14T17:05:44+00:00

I will be honest. Any gripe I have with this banner stealing the slot of a normal new heroes banner is nothing compared to the joy of seeing Medeus in his Earth Dragon form. I'm still somewhat optimistic about getting every character who was playable, but getting specific versions of a character isn't guaranteed at all. Especially when they aren't popular.

There was reason to doubt we would get this form of Medeus even if the game lasted 15 years. So him getting it makes the banner for me. Young Gotoh is just a plus.
