Spoiler: Fire Emblem: If Nohr and Hoshido Themes (ファイアーエムブレムif 暗夜王国と白夜王国テーマ

Nohr:

Hoshido:

Since Fire Emblem: If came out in Japan today, I was able to find gameplay (This is of the Hoshido version).

Spoiler: Fire Emblem: If Walkthrough (Hoshido)

This seems to be a multi-video series so you should look at his channel to find more videos.

Amiibo portraits

Marth and Ike's amiibo portraits. Robin and Lucina's were ported from Awakening unless those were placeholders.

Remember the summer DLC pics for all the female royals well there are male ones as well.

[Atrabilious]

Since some of you have braved the spoilers to find out what's what, do any of you know how the third route works mechanically? Does it feature grinding ala the Hoshido route, does it have the mission variety of Nohr? I've been avoiding typical information resources for this sort of thing for fear of story spoilers.

Damn Marx is looking good, almost didn't even recognize him. Definitely didn't recognize Ryoma without that headgear of his.

Yeah, she does look a lot like Lissa (must be going through some sort of phase ), but apparently she has a personality really similar to that of Noire in which she has a really demented alternate personality.

Male Kamui is so ugly... It's almost depressing.

Here's hoping for multiple models.

Some of the others I saw weren't so bad. I mean the options are still pretty rough, but you can find some alright stuff if you mix things up correctly. I still do find it a little strange how so few of the Avi's in FEif or Awakening actually look good though. Oh well.

 

[Ussi]

Using this http://serenesforest.net/app/kamui/

I've realized hair color seems to be the most important decision to make.

Those shirts, man. I really want this to be a thing in the US.

 

[Elyssa Xey Hexen]

I feel like someone has been busy ripping textures from Fates.

 

[Holder of the Heel]

Meanwhile, you literally cannot make a bad looking female Kamui even if you tried. Being female also may have an advantage because children are attached to the male units this time around (excluding Azura). Also you get Jakob earlier, who seems like one of the most enjoyable characters in the game, at least more so than Felicia.

But as a female you can't marry Camilla, so I guess it's even.

I disagree. I've yet to see a Kamui, male or female, that I actually like. Something about the neck, I think.

And that's not even getting into the thing cutouts....

I wish they had shoes.

I can't believe I stopped getting notifications for this thread. At least I'm up to date with everything.

So apparently there was a Famitsu (?) poll for the most popular fE characters in Japan.

Spoiler

Spoiler

Surprised to see Ike at #1, and REALLY surprised at Finn being in the top 10. But Finn is awesome so it's all good.

 

[Reizilla]

It would have been much more interesting if they excluded lords or made it one-and-dones only. Tharja probably would've run away with that one.

Wow. You are right. Hero Lance is too good. Plus, horse.

Ike's probably #1 due to Smash Bors. Personally I felt like he was such a one dimensional character in his games. No flaws, just a warrior for justice and nothing else. Maybe that's just me though. I mean he wasn't a BAD lord, just not my first pick. Glad to see that Ephraim made it. Should be ranked higher IMO.

Kinda, no. Very off-topic, but I would like to point that this exist. A petition to cancel a game that's already out.

 

[Robert of Normandy]

oh I thought it was gonna be because of the supports.

 

[Space Stranger]

Another reason to not take change petitions seriously.

 

[Deleted member 269706]

Is this for real? Why are people like this? Seriously, I wish there was a way to backlash at that petition without signing it.

 

[Elyssa Xey Hexen]

I think people commenting in there are already trolling the petition lol

 

[Buffoon]

Conspiracy Theory regarding the a certain trio of look-a-likes in Fates that resemble characters in Awakening (Spoilers).

Spoiler

The trio I'm referring to are Luna, Lazwald and Odin; respectively, they are literally Severa, Inigo and Owain, who came from the world of Awakening with different aliases. Them entering another world suggests the possibility of Blazing Sword occurring before the timeline(s) of FE:Awakening.

The above trio chose to travel to another world after Grima was defeated; what if Robin made a similar journey in hopes of evading Validar? It would provide an explanation as to why the Einherjar of Lyn finds Robin familiar. And it's certainly more plausible a theory if characters have demonstrated the ability to travel between worlds, if desired.

Not gonna let that petition come true.

You get 'em, Superman.

Or you could just simply NOT buy the game.

It wouldn't be the internet if people handled this sort of thing correctly.

Remember that we're talking about a game where this happened:

Lucina: Mmph!
Robin: ...
Lucina: Robin, this is no place for...
Robin: I know, and I'm sorry.

 

[Minato]

I hate when tumblr posts create something that spirals. Something similar happened to Tales of Zestiria, making people think the game was awful or bombed.

Leave it to Social Media to start craziness.

 

[Space Stranger]

Easily sums up the controversy:

Many sources neglected to note that it was a fan translation of the Japanese support conversation that will be different once the game is localized.

That picture sums up about 90% of game cancellation petitions.

Social Media always screw things over.

And the quote from Super Paper Mario is so true it's not even funny.
