Official Newcomer/DLC Speculation Discussion

[Calane]

...Well...okay...

Kirby can't even get 4 characters, dang it. Fire Emblem gets so much love.

 

[Thermithral]

I am so happy right now. Finally a first party character, and from an amazing game no less. :D

 

[MooMew64]

Sword hater and FE haters gettin' dunked on.

Today is the best day.

 

[Buffalo Soldier]

Man, they’re lucky they’ve built up so much good will because I am so mad about this.

 

[I.D.]

"Sakurai isn't biased towards fire embl-"

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Ill take this, Ill take this 100% I like this.
no need to call Byleth a swordfighter when He also has an Axe a Lancr and a Bow, huh

 

[Thewafflemaker2000]

They should give other series’s a chance

 

[Cap'n Jack]

More blue haired sword users! At least they did not have to waste that much time in these characters

 

[AlgusUnderdunk]

Well that's disappointing.

 

[Mushroomguy12]

Only new franchises they said.
Only 3rd Parties they said.

 

[StarBot]

Atleast people can shut up about "No first party!"

 

[SvartWolf]

at least they corrected female's byleth awkward face... daaaangi'm kinda happy but i really would prefered edelgard, claude, or dimitri over byleth

 

[Jerry98]

As long as his gameplay is unique I'm ok with him.
But I did not expect him at all and I don't know if I am disappointed or not...

 

[shinhed-echi]

... can't say I'm underwhelmed because I was absolutely prepared for this. But I'm not gonna listen to Sakurai talk Fire Emblem for 30 minutes.

 

[RaintheCriminalWhirlwind]

My first pick 2B has temporarily fallen but I'm second pick made it through. Sweet

 

[lordvaati]

Dread it, run from it, destiny still arrives.

I AM INEVITABLE!

 

[MrJudd]

3 fingers = 3 houses. I'm laughing so hard right now!

 

[♕Pretty Roger♕]

I am so happy with Byleth, Sothis and everyone else! Three Houses deserved

 

[Souless_shadow]

Sakurai really out here teaching us how to count in binary

 

[Smashoperatingbuddy123]

Welp that’s that

And bad New is verge and sabi we’re still right

But still despicable of them refusing to admit it’s byleth

 

[StarBot]

Damn Sakurai spent to much time about binary number

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

..Pfft, they actually jokes about the "too many swordsman" bit.

Sakurai knows the fandom perfectly, its beautiful

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

I guess "new worlds" can also mean an actual new game?

Or, well, Reggie misspoke again.

I didn't think it was inherently new franchises, but this was unexpected. Either way, this'll be interesting to play as.

 

[Jomosensual]

I know understand why they let us know there was going to be more DLC after this. Incredibly underwhelmed. Congrats to Byleth fans who were wanting him.

Yeah, if this was the last character people would be losing their minds

 

[[Maple]]

*sigh* welp this is imo a boring choice. Lets hope he/she will be fun to play

 

[DevaAshera]

YES! I actually got another character I wanted!
And Weapon Swapping? This is better than I could have imagined!
I'm sorry to everyone, but am so beyond happy to have another Fire Emblem character and the one I wanted most even..and at least she isn't just a swordsman but actually represent another element of Fire Emblem, weapon swapping..its kind of like the Pokémon Trainer style someone here wanted with the House Leaders..but I like this a lot more.

 

[kirbsmash]

I'M READY FPR TTHE S A L T

 

[The Legendary Beast]

All these FE characters and Zelda still doesn't have a newcomer.

 

[SvartWolf]

they even spoiled the game for sakurai DX

 

[PLATINUM7]

I guess "new worlds" can also mean an actual new game?

Or, well, Reggie misspoke again.

I didn't think it was inherently new franchises, but this was unexpected. Either way, this'll be interesting to play as.

I thought Sakurai said new worlds. Reggie just said new characters.

 

[lordvaati]

For real though, I'm glad he listened to the decade long demand for an FE rep that shows the Sword/Axe/Spear triangle.
And a bonus Bow too.

 

[PSIGuy]

Atleast people can shut up about "No first party!"

Watch as this is the only first party rep JUST LIKE ****ING LAST TIME

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

y'all do realize we've still got post pass, right?

 

[TheTuninator]

People are going to be salty, and as an Advance Wars fan you'd think I'd have more reason to be than most, but honestly, FE3H was huge and absolutely deserves this. I ain't even mad.

 

[SirCamp]

I am... whelmed.

 

[andree123]

Byelth came way too early, I expect her/him to be post pass, but I think that Sakurai originally intended to have Byelth to be post-pass but problems with the original FP5 character caused Sakurai's team to swap the original FP5 with Byelth instead.

 

[Brindor]

[Michael the Spikester]

Sakurai as usual has broken yet again another fan rule.

"All 3rd parties in the pass!"

 

[StarBot]

Welp that’s that

And bad New is verge and sabi we’re still right

But still despicable of them refusing to admit it’s byleth

Sabi littearly backed guy saying "a character that started in Nintendo but moved away"

Fire Emblem is far from that

 

[Lacrimosa]

I'm ok with that.
