Social Corrin Social - Still Fire Emblem Social

[ZephyrZ]

Ironically, it's because it's a fire/flying type and not a dragon type that Charizard is resistant to fairies.
Screw you, Jiggles.

I'm just kidding I kind of like Jigglypuff.

If they'll go back on prestablished characterization - that those characters are supposed to be family to Corrin - then yes, I'd say with absolute certainty that they let marriage options prioritize over the story themes and characterization.
That doesn't make sense. That's exactly what makes it fan service.
Unless you're operating under an entirely different definition of fanservice than I am, which I'm really beginning to think you are.

According to Tv Tropes (aka the most reliable source in the history of the universe), fanservice is:

"Characters in skimpy or skin-tight clothing, or none at all, to attract or "reward" viewers. This is traditionally associated with female characters and most common there, but fanservice of male characters isn't unheard of."

By that definition, the marriage system in FE isn't fanservice at all. Is Camilla's armor fanservice? yes. She is wearing clothing designed to attract male viewers. Is being able to marry any character of the opposite gender fanservice? no. Many of them are wearing perfectly reasonable clothes, and none of them do anything like change outfits into something sexy for you - if the character (i.e. Camilla) was already fanservice, then they are still fanservice-y when you marry them. But characters like Hana, Selena, Beruka, etc (who are not fanservicey, IMO), do NOT suddenly become fanservice because you can marry them. The clothes they wear are the same, regardless of if they are your spouse or not. (It can be argued that I'm being pedantic about the fact that fanservice must involve clothing or the lack there of, but first of all the "sexy clothes" is a very large part of the definition of fanservice in my opinion, and second of all, even disregarding clothes, "sex appeal" for any character does not increase just because you can marry them. It's not like the people who were going to fantasize to Camilla are going to stop just because she's the main character's sister. They would still do it even if you couldn't S-support her.)

Tl;dr: Marriage =/= fanservice. Sexy clothes = fanservice.

 

[Kotor]

Well, would you look at that. You can have an entire team of nothing but heroes in Conquest. I know what gimmick run I'll be doing!

Spoiler: It basically goes like this

S-rank Pairings
Femui x Izana
Felicia x Jakob
Arthur x Elise
Benny x Effie
Laslow x Azura
Selena x Kaze
Silas x Peri
Charlotte x Leo
Keaton x Mozu

A+/Friendship Pairings
Arthur x Niles
Charlotte x Nyx
Lazlow x Xander and Odin*
Beruka x Camilla
Kana x Siegbert
Soleil x Ophelia
Velouria x Nina

*A character can only A+ another, but it is not mutual.
ex: Laslow can A+ Xander and Xander can A+ Leo.
You can essentially have everyone A+ the same character and it wouldn't affect the character receiving all those A+ rankings.

Has Fighter or Mercenary as Default or Secondary class

Laslow
Selena

I wonder if Birthright has an equivalent?

I'm used to a more broad definition, but I guess I can't really argue with that.

But if you go back to what I said and replace the word "fanservice" with "pandering", than you still get the point.

Idk if you watch anime but as a weeaboo/otaku/whatever you want to call me, fanservice for me has always been bath scenes and maid outfits so the whole clothes thing has become ingrained as a part of the definition in my head lol

 

[RandysRage]

Rosalina's VA, Laura Faye Smith will be voicing Kana in Fates.

Rosie's voice actor.....

*squeals in delight*



I'm gonna finally need to brush up on how to play Fire Emblem, because this has convinced me to give Fates a try.

I've seen enough anime to get the general memo.
I'm not an anime enthusiast, but both my sisters are both otakus and former weebs, so I've seen a bit over their shoulders or by their suggestion.

Maid outfits and bath scenes have always fitted in my broader understanding of fan service.

And of course, when I was little, I was crazy about this obscure anime called "pokemon", but I'm sure none of you have ever heard of it.

 

[Tarastel]

Man, I don't why I bothered taking a hike on GameFaqs. Nothing but a cesspool of scum and villainy there that leaves a bad taste in my mouth, and curiously it's always the same toxic users I keep seeing there spreading vile which probably means that there is some truth when people say "hateful but vocal minority" and when others talk about the "silent majority".

You guys are in for a treat regarding Fates, it's easily one of my fave FE games.

Also have you ever wondered how real life warfare would be if they were like FE gameplay? Soldiers would only be able to move a limited number of steps per turn, then they have to wait until their enemy spends their turn moving/attacking, jets would remain suspended in the air at the end of the turn, etc.

Actually, back during the American Revolution and Civil War soldiers actually fought somewhat like that. Essentially, since muskets and other firearms were not accurate in long range, soldiers had to march in unison towards the enemy until they got within range, while the enemy army did the same. Though that is just one kind of battlefield that happened during those times.

 

[Ryu Myuutsu]

I like that sig btw. I saw another with a similar concept where every character in the roster was named after Marth, I wish I could find it. Link was called Green Marth and Toon Link was Baby Marth.

 

[Acker]

Hello, I am Water/Dragon type. Pleased to meet you.

Also, I have a friend who is Water/Dark and has Protean.

FEAR THE FAIRY!
Also, don't even try to use Gunk Shot with your Protean Greninja, because I have a friend ready to slam the ground.

Wait a minute... DK is part Ground? Headbutt and Hand Slap... It makes sense now. O_O

Wait... That also makes him weak to Water-types... What if I just take him out first? If that doesn't work, I'll just bring back Lucario to deal with Jigglypuff. >_>

If you try to hit my DK with a water attack my little mouse will zap you!
And don't even try to bring back Lucario, I have a lot of friends who wants to know him.

I am absolutely doing this. Already got approval to take off. (; Granted, I also have adult reasons to take off like tax prep and getting my hair done. BUT I will still be home in time to play like three whole hours earlier than I would otherwise. :b

It's a good thing that it is a half-term holiday in the UK on that day!


oh wait

Proof that the fan-translation is inferior to the localized version.

I may not be European but even i think Europe not having a release date for Fates is not fair. Europe should at least have a "releases *insert month here* 2016".

 

[alguidrag]

And i think i will have to wait until april to get the game... good thing that in april i will problaby alredy have money to get 2 versions

[Nah]

Wait how the **** does Europe+Australia not have a release date for Fates yet

Especially the UK/Australia we speak the same language

 

[Ryu Myuutsu]

Almost halfway through the Conquest campaign. I just can't stop reiterating how satisfied I am with this one, the map design and objective variety is diverse and is definitely a challenging experience.

 

[Acker]

Awakening was released in USA on february 4th and in Europe on april 19th, so I suppose the game will be released in the early april days...

They're both PAL regions so they have all the European languages too.

 

[Skyward]

Awakening was released in USA on february 4th and in Europe on april 19th, so I suppose the game will be released in the early april days...

Here is the funny thing about Awakening's release:

EU Announcement: 22nd Feb 2012
US Announcement: 6th Jun 2012
US Release: 4th Feb 2013
EU Release: 19th April 2013

So yeah, Europe is cursed. And when you consider that Fate's date hasn't been announced yet, we could be waiting a bit longer than April.

I was thankfully given the day off on Friday, so I'll definitely be playing this all day.

Really it was announced in Europe almost 4 months before US? Wow, this is strange.
Right now I just hope for a march or an early april release, because this year I have exams from june to july and if the game is going to be released around that time, I will be so mad ;_;

The comment section in a nutshell (these numbers aren't accurate)
50%-What about Europe?
15%-CENSORSHIP!
35%-I'm excited for this game.

Tomorrow and Friday are going to be veeeeeery long.

I had to slow down the video just so i could read the Support conversation. To the people who upload videos of the Support conversations, make sure the viewer has enough time to read them.

 

[ZephyrZ]

I'm not even getting the game on Friday. My mom spent all our money on stuff for her new garden, so I'm renting the game through a rental website called Gamefly. But that also means waiting for it to arrive in the mail, and they might not even send it until Saturday.

If you try to hit my DK with a water attack my little mouse will zap you!
And don't even try to bring back Lucario, I have a lot of friends who wants to know him.

AHEM

Besides, Bowser is part dark type.

I don't have classes on Friday either! :D

...But I preordered Fates (SE version) from GameStop online and I dunno when I'll get it. D:
Hopefully I can get it day of...

I recommend waiting until you buy the game. Renting it through GameFly means you have to pay a monthly fee and the progress you make on the rented copy will be for nothing when you buy your own copy.
