Social Corrin Social - Still Fire Emblem Social

[ZephyrZ]

I used like 3 stamina potions trying to get enough orbs for a summoming, but all I got in the end was four 3-star characters I already own and a 4-star Tharja, whom of which I reall dislike and also already own.

If the RNGoddess keeps treating me like this, I think I might just change religions. Anyone know any other cults that don't involve changing my avatar to a chibi Alpharad?

Maybe I'll just go back to worshipping Arceus or Mega Rayquaza.

 

[Armagon]

With how rare Orbs are nowadays, I decided to try a different strategy i've heard about: only summoning from the selection that contains the character you want. For example, I want Ike. So i'll only summon from red. Doing this won't increase my 5-Star chance but i also save on Orbs.

 

[Deleted member]

I got him! I got Ike! He actually came up a lot earlier than I expected, I spent about 40 Orbs trying to get Ike.
He wasn't my first 5 star of the day though. My first pull, my very first pull in the banner was a 5 star Olwen.

Now I am conflicted between giving him Swordbreaker or Vantage, though I am leaning towards the latter because of Ragnell.

This is what I did. It helps a lot in banners where there is a new hero and they are the only color in that banner.
Getting Ike would be a lot more difficult if he shared his color with another unit.

 

[Armagon]

So i tried that strategy and no Ike. Of the three Red Orbs i got, i got Sophia, Lon'qu, and Stahl. Lon'qu and Stahl both became inheritance fodder for Zephiel, passing on Night Sky and Defense+3 because Zephiel is so evil. Hahahahaha.

 

[Erureido]

So this past month of summoning has had ups and downs. Still didn't pull Takumi, but I did finally get his retainers: Hinata and Oboro, both of which are four stars (Oboro started as a 3-star, but I promoted her; Hinata already came in as a 4-star). I got another Chrom, and my first 5-star in a long while was another Marth (but five stars this time instead of four stars). I had a lot of unlucky summons, but I did manage to get enough feathers to upgrade Robin and Chrom into five stars. I am currently leveling up Chrom and Marth until they are level 40. Robin has already been a member of my team for quite some time, and he's been pretty useful dealing with those Takumis in arena mode. Of the characters I know want, it's currently Takumi, Hector, Alm, and Clair.

And just today, looks like luck was on my side for once, because look who I got:

This is the first time I pulled a 5-star specific to a Focus event since Julia in the sibling bonds focus. Seems like I didn't get Ike, but I'm cool with Soren. It's always nice to have another green-tome user, and from what I've seen of his base stats, it seems like he is faster than Julia and can still pack a punch.

I also got a 4-star Reinhardt. Would've been cool if it was a 5-star instead, but I'll take it. I can upgrade him another time.

Funny how I got mother and son in one pull. I already have a 3-star Laslow, a 4-star Olivia, and a 4-star Gaius, so I sent them away for some feathers.

 

[Deleted member]

...Wow. Just wow.

I bought more Orbs just to see who else I could get and I was left utterly speechless. I got Leo, Abel, Titania, and Minerva. I did 3 summoning sessions total.

I jumped out of my seat when I got Leo. I've always wanted him, but I didn't think I would get him.

 

[Astellius]

Well, I decided to put in some orbs to see if I could summon Ike. I haven't used any in awhile, so I was sitting on over 90. The first summoning session had 4 reds and a blue. Summoned the 4 reds, no Ike, but I did get a 4-star Chrom, who I did not have. I went ahead and summoned the blue as well, and it was Subaki, of course. I really should know better by now, that all blues are just Subaki. I do a few more red only summons and... I got him! Only took about 45 orbs! I'm really surprised I got him. I went ahead and finished out that summoning session, and pulled another 4-star Chrom, 4-star Priscilla, 4-star Roy, and 4-star Donnel. I had all of those (5-star versions of Priscilla and Roy), but where were they all when I was first starting out???

But I'm quite happy to have gotten Ike, and I can go back to saving orbs. Time to train up my new Ike!

 

[Tino]

I've spent some orbs for another summon set to see if I can get Ike or any of the other Greil Mercenaries, but no dice.

I did, however, reeled in a 5-star Leo. Heh, I was wondering when that ******* would show up as I needed a 5-star red magic unit in my crew.

I also got a 4-star Fir (which I already have a 5-star of her), a 3-star Florina (already have a 4-star of her), another Jagen and Donnel.

 

[LordTakeo]

And here I am, getting nothing but 3 stars so far.
Almost tempted to buy orbs for ike...

But then again, just a red-lord again. Do I -really- need more red units, when I got my lynn and sanaki kicking?

Also Gratz to you leo getters. He's nice for horse-emblem!

 

[Armagon]

Ok everybody, i have some exciting Echoes footage to show you. And yes, it's the English version, except for the last one, which i'll get into later. These are minor, early game spoilers btw. The first two videos are the first dungeon of the game, the third video is a map from Ch.1. The fourth video is the opening of Ch.2 while the fifth is a map from Ch.2. Don't watch these if you intend to go in fully blind but if you want to get a taste of the English version, then I recommend you watch these.

Spoiler: Video 1

Spoiler: Video 2

Spoiler: Video 3

Spoiler: Video 4

Spoiler: Video 5

And then there's the 6th video, which is pretty long. It was taken from a German livestream showing the German version of the game. However, the voice acting is still in English, and because it's fully voiced, you don't have to worry about not knowing how to read German. Also, this video is basically the entire prologue and because of that, i can see most of you not watching this video. But if you want to, i'll be leaving it here. Again, there are prologue spoilers.

Spoiler: Video 6

That being said, i will post my thoughts on the videos

Spoiler: My thoughts

Ok so first of all, the voice acting is amazing. It legit fits every character. Not a single voice is disappointing. And seeing the interactions between the characters was good too, especially between the villagers. Tobin, Gray, Kliff, and Faye all sound like they are good friends with each other as well as Alm and Celica, of course. And speaking between Alm and Celica, the chemistry between them is amazing. I've seen many great friendships in FE, from Eliwood, Hector, and Lyn, to Roy and Lilina, to Erikia and Tana, to Ike and Soren, to Chrom and Robin. And i've gotta say that, just from the prologue alone, the friendship between Alm and Celica is among the best in the series. The full voice acting helps so much.

Moving on to gameplay, well, it's Gaiden. The maps look a bit bland but if you've played Awakening, then it's basically the same deal. The game also looks easy, and to be honest, Gaiden was easy as well.....at least until you got to Ch.3. That's when the difficulty really kicks in. Also the gameplay here was likely set to Normal difficulty.One of the videos also shows the Villagers promoting. Tobin becomes a Mage, Gray a Mercenary, Kliff an Archer and Faye a Cavalier. Of course, you can promote them into whatever you want. Villagers promote at level 3 btw. As for me, i've already decided on what to make them on my playthrough:

• Tobin the Archer
• Gray the Mercenary
• Kliff the Mage
• Faye the Cleric (an interesting detail about Cleric Faye is that she still keeps her Villager outfit apparently)

In the gameplay videos, we also see the Ch.2's boat maps. We also see the localized name of the Shaman: Cantor. While Shamans have been used in the English version of FEs before, GBA Shamans and Gaiden Shamans are very differently. Because Cantors are basically summoners also Cantor is also the Spanish word for singer. Thanks game, now i have this headcanon that Cantors summon Terrors via singing.

And on the subject of Echoes, an interview with the development team has been fully translated thanks to Kirokan over at SerenesForest. I'll link to it here.

On one final note, we now know Echoes' first week sales in Japan. They are a bit low. Well, low for FE standards. The game is still selling decently. In fact, the game's already reached an 80-100% sell-through, meaning that Intelligent Systems and Nintendo knew that it wasn't gonna sell super amazingly. After all, it's the remake of FE's black sheep and it releasing while the 3DS is on it's way out wasn't really gonna help. Plus the Switch exists. But despite that, the game is still selling decently in Japan, and it looks like it met it's goal anyway. So i wouldn't be worried. Western sales would probably help patch things up anyway.

Now, if it was selling below Tellius or Thracia, THEN it would be worrying.

Spoiler: 3DS games are lame let's talk about real platforms ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Kusakihara: Oh? Is it okay to talk about it? Well, the truth is, there was a game we had planned for the Wii after Radiant Dawn, and started development on.

Yamagami: It had me as the producer, and Mr. Kusakihara as the director. It was going to be a real time strategy Fire Emblem game with all sorts of interesting departures from the norm. But, as we approached a finished product, the incredibly picky Mr. Kusahara was not content with it as it didn’t fit the image he had in mind when he played it. While it was incredibly amusing watching him try the product, I don’t think I could’ve reached such a decision so quickly based on that alone. It did show just how passionate he was about the real time system though, but, in my experience, Fire Emblem was always about minimizing casualties as much as possible and thinking about things carefully by the turn. To put together a real time experience in a short time without these considerations and make a judgement based on that was a little premature in my opinion. So, in the end, development froze.

I literally just posted the link to that article in my post above.

Edit: unless you already knew that and you were simply citing a specific part, in which case, i apologize.

Edit: unless you already knew that and you were simply citing a specific part, in which case, i apologize.

I actually haven't seen the comment when I posted.... sometimes I leave tabs open and completely forget about them, so there is that.
But I also wanted to cite that part too because I wanted to see you people's comments in this as it's the most interesting thing in the whole interview for me, specially since it was almost a "finished product" and they scrapped it....
Like, who does that?

 

[Armagon]

since it was almost a "finished product" and they scrapped it....
Like, who does that?

Star Fox 2. Except it was actually finished, then cancelled.

 

[Metallinatus]

Oh, I remember talk about that, was it actually finished? At least that one was scrapped because of the N64.... but still the money they just toss out the window when they do something like that is real.

 

[ZephyrZ]

Stop rolling Leo, everyone. The more of you there are that get him, the less special it is that I have him.

Anyway, it makes me sad how many people are freaking out over Echoes' sales. Some people are absolutely convinced FE needs waifu pandering to stay afloat because of it, which is something I really don't believe. I just really hope IS doesn't believe the same thing...but we won't know until FE Switch.

I really hope we get a good look at FE Switch at E3, although it's more likely that we'll just get a teaser. If FE Switch has waifu-pandering forced in as well, I fear that'll be something the series will never move away from.

Oh, and by "waifu pandering", I'm not talking about marriage systems or whatever, that wouldn't be the end of the world for me. I'm talking about cringeworthy fanservice characters like Camilla and Tharja, and the ability to marry the player to their probably-10-years-old sister.

 

[Armagon]

Anyway, it makes me sad how many people are freaking out over Echoes' sales.

Same. Especially because when you look at the big picture, Echoes is technically not doing that bad. Look at how fast it came out. Despite how amazing it looks, it was probably cheap for IS to make. Plus, as mentioned before, the game has already gotten an 80-100% sell-through, meaning it already met it's sales goals, at least in Japan.

Plus, believe it or not, Fire Emblem actually sells less in Japan than it does in America. I mean, look at the sales of Awakening, Fates, and Blazing Blade:
Awakening Sales: 2M

44% America
23% Europe
27% japan
6% Rest of The World

Fates Sales: 1.9M (Approx)

50% America
15% Europe
29% Japan
6% Rest of the World

Blazing Blade : 1M (Approx);

50% America
19% Europe
30% Japan
1% Rest of the World

America always gets the most FE sales. Japan gets more FE sales than Europe though.

Some people are absolutely convinced FE needs waifu pandering to stay afloat because of it, which is something I really don't believe.

Honestly, i feel there are more people who think the series needs waifu pandering to stay afloat than the people who actually like the waifu pandering.

 

[Astellius]

Oh, and by "waifu pandering", I'm not talking about marriage systems or whatever, that wouldn't be the end of the world for me. I'm talking about cringeworthy fanservice characters like Camilla and Tharja, and the ability to marry the player to their probably-10-years-old sister.

I don't really have a problem with the waifu pandering, it probably boosts sales at least some. I expect that there will be more fanservice characters to come.

As for me, I wish they'd get rid of the loli-pandering, I find that much more disturbing and disgusting on principle. Why's Nowi half-naked? Why can't Kana pants? I think that type of fanservice is the first thing that should go. After that, I think that children that are nonsensically shoehorned in need to be tossed out.

Same. Especially because when you look at the big picture, Echoes is technically not doing that bad. Look at how fast it came out. Despite how amazing it looks, it was probably cheap for IS to make.

Yes, it probably was pretty cheap to make it, since they probably just used the same graphics software they developed for Fates. So most of the heavy lifting, in terms of programming, was already done, they only needed to design some new characters and scenery. Also, since it's a remake, they're starting with a complete plot; it's much easier to do a re-write than come up with something completely new. I know I'm looking forward to it.

 

[Tino]

I don't give a damn about this "waifu pandering" nor "loli-pandering" bullcrap. Can't take those seriously because it's a joke.

 

[Astellius]

The next contestants for the Voting Gauntlet have been announced: male mages vs female mages. On the one side we have Leo, Merric, Henry, and Robin, and on the other we have Linde, Sanaki, Julia, and Tharja.

I know what you guys must be thinking upon seeing that roster, it was my first thought too... Where's Nino? Why isn't she on it?? I don't know. Nino is what this banner needs, and she isn't there. What were they thinking? And Micaiah. This game needs more Micaiah.

Oh... that wasn't your first thought? Your first thought was how super excited and euphoric you were to see Tharja in there? But seriously, that's lame, she's is just going to obliterate the competition and turn this into Camilla 2.0. Yeah. They're going to implement some sort of comeback mechanism, where the losing team's flags will be worth 3x as much. It's not going to help. Destruction is coming.

 

[Tino]

I'm not gonna lie here, I'll probably gonna be one of those folks who will be going for Tharja on the next gauntlet. However, I don't speak for the mindless trash (yes, I said it, come at me ) that will be voting for her for the same reason as Camilla. I'm voting for her because I like her as a character (minus her disturbing obsession with Robin). I mean what can I say? I have a thing for characters with a grumpy personality and they tend to put an impression on me without putting any thought.

And as for the male mages, I can't decide between Leo or Henry.

 

[ZephyrZ]

I'm going with team Leo, naturally. He's one of my favorite FE characters, my first 5-star summoning, and he's a Dark Knight which is just so edgy cool. Spellslinging from horse back while wearing shiny black armor? Yes please.

Oh, and if anyone on this list has a chance of beating Tharja, it'll be him. He probably won't, but hey, it's worth a try at least.

On a different note, a new banner is up featuring Ryoma, Azura, Takumi and Hector, and each of them start with a default 5% chance instead of a 3% chance. If I ever make the decision to spend money on this game, which I'm 100% certain I'd regret, then now would be a better time then ever. I'm actually really tempted to. At the same time though, if I break one time, I fear I'll do it sometime again.

Same. Especially because when you look at the big picture, Echoes is technically not doing that bad. Look at how fast it came out. Despite how amazing it looks, it was probably cheap for IS to make. Plus, as mentioned before, the game has already gotten an 80-100% sell-through, meaning it already met it's sales goals, at least in Japan.

People are also comparing it to Fate's first week, which just isn't fair. Fates, as much as I whine about it, was overall an awesome game with an incredibly ridiculous amount of content for an FE game.

Plus, believe it or not, Fire Emblem actually sells less in Japan than it does in America. I mean, look at the sales of Awakening, Fates, and Blazing Blade:
Awakening Sales: 2M

Wow, really? I guess it makes sense, since the US has a much larger population, but still. Wow.

Oh, and I know that there's been a lot of vocal fans over here in the west demanding remakes of the old FEs so they can try them out, especially new fans who started with Awakening or Fates and want to try out some of the older games. I have a feeling that Echoes might go over really well here because of that, just because we in the US never got a chance to play Gaiden to begin with.

Mother 3 Echoes when?

 

[LordTakeo]

Oh, and by "waifu pandering", I'm not talking about marriage systems or whatever, that wouldn't be the end of the world for me. I'm talking about cringeworthy fanservice characters like Camilla and Tharja, and the ability to marry the player to their probably-10-years-old sister.

No. Nonono.
Honestly? We -need- characters like Camilla and Tharja. I by all means despise Tharja, and I think Ghast even made an very interesting analysis about Camilla being very well written as mental disordered person. (See Laslow S support, and Selena's c-a supports, Jacob supports, alongside various others.)

She's not badly written as Peri, where they had to bend reality and characters, even ideals to make the persona work. (Xander supports with Nyx vs Xander supports with Peri. Breaking his character for Peri. Nice.)

Camilla is just a person, made attractive to 'lure' prey in, she then can control and possess.
It's in my mind a brilliant character, but by no means anyone I'd like to have as sibling or wife.

Tharja on the other hand... is a bit too much. Not as gravely bad as Peri, but she's still more on the badly written side, in my opinion.

So yeah. A very good addition for the roster. It's an interesting character to have around atleast, and gives more diverse contrast to the other cast, who is often bright/happy.


Edit: I will honestly cash a bit into heroes now... hector is just too close... Ike can wait.

 

[Armagon]

So regarding that Mage Gauntlet, i'm going with Sanaki first, since I have her. After that, i don't know. Well, i know i'm not going Tharja.

That new Banner tho. 5% chance of getting Azura. That's great. I'm gonna do that strategy of only summoning from the Blue Orb so i can get her. The question is, can i get her? Because i just tried it and nope, no Azura. The second time there were actually no Blue Orbs so i went for Hector and got Bartre, whose pose is almost identical to Hector's. After that, i didn't have enough for a summoning. This game hates me. The path of the F2P-player is hard. I kinda wish Azura was available as a 4-Star or even a 3-Star as well. She's literally my most wanted character in this game. Sorry Ike, but the water waifu takes priority.

On the bright side, we'll be able to get Orbs based on our Arena Ranking soon.

You know what they should do about summons though? You don't pay those initial five Orbs until after you summon. Because the way it is right now, doing that summon strategy i mentioned is a bit tricky because you won't know if that Orb color will appear. And if the color you're looking for isn't there, welp, too bad. You just lost 5 Orbs.

People are also comparing it to Fate's first week, which just isn't fair.

There's also the fact that Fates sales are combined, since it was technically 2 (3) games in one.

She's not badly written as Peri, where they had to bend reality and characters, even ideals to make the persona work. (Xander supports with Nyx vs Xander supports with Peri. Breaking his character for Peri. Nice.)

Another example: Xander is against Hans serving the Nohrian army because he's a murderer. But then he turns around and makes Peri his retainer.

 

[Erureido]

For the next gauntlet, I'm probably going to go with Julia for the female mages and Henry for the male mages.

• Going with Julia because she's one of my few 5-stars and a pretty useful member of my current team.
• Going with Henry because he's one of my favorite Awakening characters.

I don't really care for the rest, but something tells me that I might go for Tharja at some point only to net some feathers (I'm hoping to get enough feathers so that I can finally upgrade Sharena to a 5-star unit). Considering her popularity, I have a feeling she's going to win this gauntlet.

It will be worth watching to see which will be the winning male mage. Leo, Robin, and Henry are all very popular, so if any of the three are pitted against each other, I can imagine the results will be close.

It's also interesting to note that Leo is currently the only character to be featured in more than one gauntlet thus far. The dude really has the devil's own luck.

 

[Deleted member]

They should rename this banner "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse."
I did the banner and got myself Hector, Azura, and 2 Ryomas. Now I don't need to go on a legendary quest to get these rare units. (I already have Takumi, so I don't need to go for him)

For the gauntlet, I'm supporting Robin but I might try to get Julia.

 

[Metallinatus]

This game can go from absolute love to absolute disgust sooooooooooooo fast....
Ok, so I have been eyeing two heroes in particular for a looong time now, Hector and Ryoma, and if you opened the game today you already know what this is about. I was sitting at 80 orbs that I saved religiously since the spring event was over, and it was a bless when I saw that banner, so on my second pull I saw this.

Spoiler

On my fifth pull, I saw this.

Spoiler

Remember that absolute love part? Yeah, so I went to check their stats....

That Ryoma you see is a low speed high whatever it doesn't even matter. The Hector you see is a high speed (yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay yes yes yes that's exactly what I was looking for!) and low resistance one. While I can live with that Hector, I am so tired of being screwed every single time by the IVs that I went after another Ryoma.
I was sitting at 58 orbs when I started and with 31 orbs left I got a second one. A second. Low Speed. One. ..
Not even a middle speed, I could live with that, no, a low speed. I kept spending my orbs to a low 3 without success at getting another Ryoma, and as I'm still disgusted by the results, I will keep spending them as they come until I have something good or the banner is gone and then I can delete the game (wont really) forever (wont), swear my allegiance to Sony (no) and start playing PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale forever (eew).

I was going to make a post full of joy and celebration, telling my story of how I started low as a small gamer 20 years ago or something and where I am now, with my Ryoma and Hector, I was going to thank Hylia and Arceus and whatever to put that banner up. Heck, I was going to thanks the Lord of the Mountain that I just found yesterday in my game, and the banner going up today, it had to mean something, right?

Then IVs happened.

Again.

Rant is over, go celebrate your SPD++ Ryomas without me.


Btw, I will be going with Linde this time.

Hey, at least you HAVE them. I tried pulling for Azura twice and no luck.

 

[Metallinatus]

Hey, at least you HAVE them. I tried pulling for Azura twice and no luck.

50 Orbs gone to waste for them, though. I can rise that up to 80 once I get my third low SPD Ryoma.

I just realized something.... as great as that banner can be for people who actually wants Ryoma, it is also a wet dream for anyone wanting to harvest Advantage skills for an Advantage army....

The year is 20XX, everybody has Advantage....

Ohh boi....

 

[Tino]

I did another summon under that new "Hero Fest" banner earlier and I was once again blessed with yet another 5-star character...of everyone's favorite singer that is Azura. Now that's what I'm talkin' about.

I also got Kagero, which is nice, along with three characters I already have. So yeah, I'm done summoning for the week.

Time for me to put Azura and Leo to use.

 

[Armagon]

got myself Azura,

I was once again blessed with yet another 5-star character...of everyone's favorite singer that is Azura. Now that's what I'm talkin' about.

You have no idea how jealous i am of you two right now.

 

[LordTakeo]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

80 paid Orbs into banner? Two Julias. A Raven.

5 Orbs of F2P quests into the new banner.

Spoiler

Now I just need ike, and I am downright finished with my favourite Lords.

Edit:@metallinatus
My hector has the exact same stats as yours. And your -speed ryoma may is a bit meh, I wouldn't dismiss him. Potential merge fodder, as I now have a +3 Julia, from all those hector attempts in the past.

 

[Astellius]

Upon seeing the new banner, with it's 5% chances, I decided to put in the rest of my orbs to see if I couldn't summon the lovely Azura. I was sitting on the about 50 or so orbs.

The first summon set had 2 greens and 3 clears, so I thought I would try a green, aiming for Hector. It was Bartre. I also really want Hector, so I went ahead and tried the other green. It was another Bartre. Great...

So I exit out and go back in, and there's 1 blue and 4 greens. I click on the blue and summon... Azura! Holy crap! On the first blue of the banner!! I was not expecting such luck.

Since I got Azura, I decided to go for the 4 greens in hopes of nabbing a Hector. The first green was Gunter, 3-stars. Oh well, at least it wasn't another Bartre. Then I go for the second green, and... it was Hector! Wtf! With a +Atk -Spd nature! Best summoning session I've ever had!

There are two remaining greens, and so I'm like, well, I'll go for them, in the off chance I might finally get Minerva. First one was another Beruka. But then I pull the second one, and it was...!

Spoiler

Barst.

At this point, I'm pretty sure I'm never getting Minerva. Ah well! This was a super good summoning session, and I'm really excited to have both Azura and Hector! No complaints here!

Guys, a third Voting Gauntlet has been announced.

Spoiler: SPOILER ALERT

Tharja Wins LOL

 

[Metallinatus]

You guys notice the pattern, right? Lucina, Camilla, Tharja, the guys are just going through the waifus list without giving them any real competition to make "everybody" happy....
But let's be honest, the only real competition they would have other than themselves would be Ike, Roy and maaaaaaaaaybe Marth, the Smash guys....
And Lyn & Hector, they are just that good.

Eh, i'd argue Robin can beat Tharja. You know, because Smash.

I dunno. I saw huge leo and robin support, and as fates was still fresh, leo was even named to be the best male in Fates.
(Not my choice tho.)

Which is a shame because I really dislike him, "you have the devil's own luck" is the cringiest thing in the game, specially when he repeat it, and repeat it....
And I think that Robin beating Tharja is a long shot, where was him ranked at in the ballot? Was he even top 10? I don't remember at all.
