My Fire Emblem Heroes pulls have been... something to say the least.

On the last day of the Performing Arts banner, I wanted to pull Performing Azura. I spotted a green orb and went for it, and I get...

Spoiler: The reveal...

Dammit Inigo! I like you and all (especially your Fates self), but I was trying to get Performing Azura, not you!

My Performing Inigo's IVs are +Def -HP. Seems like he got the best bane, but not the ideal boost.

Guess I'll still make use of him. I heard he makes one of the best Reinhardt and Brave Lyn counters in the game at the moment, so that's something to look forward too.

And just today, I decided to go for another summon. Nekomata Sakura is the one that I want the most, so when I saw three silver orbs, I immediately went for the top one. Got a Rebecca, so then I went with the second one. The result:

Yep, Halloween Jakob. Second time the other banner character of a given orb trolls me by being the one that is summoned instead of the actual silver orb character I wanted. Guess that Nekomata Sakura has to wait for the time being...

My Halloween Jakob got +Def -Atk for his IVs. Good IV boost, but ouch at that bane. Still, I think I'll train him up anyway for that potential Armor Emblem team.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Are company uniforms so horrible on purpose to lower the self esteem of their employees?

I wonder that

I hate what they give you so much. Makes me feel like I can never succeed

On the subject of Overwatch and Blizzard, Hanzo was shown for Heroes of the Storm.

Already in the comments, I'm seeing jokes about Hanzo mains.

Edit: Oh wow.

Real Name: Moira O’Deorain, Age: 48
Occupation: Geneticist
Base of Operations: Dublin, Ireland; Oasis, Iraq
Affiliation: Talon; Blackwatch (formerly)

She was part of Blackwatch? As in the group that Reaper, McCree and Genji were a part of at first? So not only did we get a Talon Healer, but also a Blackwatch Healer? I wonder if this means a potential Blackwatch skin for her for when Uprising comes back around. And I've seen some people point out the similarity between her abilities and Mercy's abilities, so some potential dialogue with McCree, Genji and Mercy? Maybe with Zenyatta as well considering their light & dark effects?

Funny how FEH tends to throw you curveballs like that. Kind of like how I'm starting with Katarina for this upcoming Voting Gauntlet...because I pulled her from Ayra's banner.

Still trying to get Amelia, though...

 

[Holder of the Heel]

Gotta support Ryoma, would love to see him come out on top.

You're gonna have a +10 Sakura before you can even smell Jakob :^)

Bringing this back up again because against statistical likelihood I've gotten two Nekomatas trying to get HENRY.

I mean I am glad to have her but seriously come on what is happening here?
Henrryyyyyy! Don't leave Jakob alone with Black Knight!

 

[Arcanir]

SoV got sucked dry because the game was recent and there was hype all around it, so of course they'd take the chance.
And considering how they refer to Marth as being from MotE, I'd say they consider them the a set since the cast is pretty much the same, so while there are units that show up in RD but not in PoR, they're still Tellius.

Potentially yes, but considering Warriors' promotion only lasted a month and they didn't do anything special for its western release aside from some orbs it's not like SoV desperately needed the extra set of banners two months after Celica's. They could've pushed it in different ways or push it at a different time, they just decided to do it at that point early on.

As for the Marth point, it's inconsistent. Marth is listed as hailing from MotE, but at the same time they list Sanaki as appearing in RD despite being an important NPC in PoR. So they don't exclusively consider each region character as hailing from just one of the games, they do consider both.

I feel your pain there, I had the same thing happen with Inigo/Azura, Hinoka/Ninian, and Eldigan/Ayra when trying to summon them. What made Ayra's case even worse was that Eldigan was a free summon, so it was almost like my luck was both working and mocking me at the same time.

Since I caught this thread during one of the rare times the topic is FE, I thought I'd share this. Made it in celebration of finally getting my greedy little hands on the SNES Classic!

What think? Used modern art because the classic art... just wasn't cutting it.

It's nice and pretty clean despite using different artwork.

And after seeing it, I am rather curious on which Hardin we'll get first. Cavalier Hardin? Or Emperor Hardin? Emperor Hardin would give us an Blue Armored Unit with Distant Counter, considering he uses Gradivus when he's Emperor. Cavalier Hardin is a bit more hard to pinpoint considering Mercurius is used by Astram.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

So I feel like out of all the Twitter responses Sonic Twitter has given out so far this one might be the most important to share here.

They did more of the Ask Sonic/Eggman things from a year or so back....but brought in Shadow as well?

Very interesting.....

We need an retro banner in FEH with Pantless Marth and Dong Armor Alm
C'mon IS, you onow you want to swim on that money

Comparing SoV to Warriors isn't really fair, they're two completely different things:
-SoV is a mainline series game while FEW is just a spinoff
-SoV actually has more than 3 characters to include in banner
-The hype behind SoV was clearly MUCH bigger than Warriors

Like, if it was any other game that got 3 banners and two TTs in the span of some months it would be tiring, but since it was a new game, everyone just rode the hype train.

 

[ChikoLad]

OK I just got home from work.

Is the Sonic Twitter Takeover finished, and if so, is there a compilation yet?

Also I'm working Tuesday afternoon but have Wednesday off so I should have some good time to play Sonic Forces near launch if it arrives.

 

[Starlight_Lily]

So, I'm going to talk politics for a while, but it doesn't really have to do with parties or ideology, its more about politicians.

So in the UK there was going to be a vote to lower the age to 16, but the Conservative party in the UK filibustered it. And well this made me come to a realisation, its quite simple, why do politicians think we can't see how they vote on the laws they past, and how they act when debating the laws and policy.

Its like they think we're back in the 1800s, where no one could tell what they were all voting and debating on. Seriously, a quick google search for the voting record of any politician will immediately tell people if they are actually voting for the policy they said they would, and if its in the benefit of the public. It just makes me laugh because the Conservatives in the UK have trouble understanding why Young people don't vote for them, as if they think people can't see what they've been up to for the past 7 years.

BTW this all still applies to other political parties as well its just, the Conservatives and Young people, is one instant of a political party and a demographic the party doesn't give any real thought to, that's happened recently.

Ok but how does one lower their age to 16? Does the UK have some knowledge on magic we're not aware about
I know you probably meant age of consent, in which case, good thing it didn't go any lower

 

[Starlight_Lily]

The vote was to lower the voting age to 16, also 16 is already the age of consent in the UK, and please no one argue wheather the age of consent is right from a USA perspective, this is a clear cultural difference between the UK and USA, and its something we won't agree on.

Anyway, my main point was, politicians who think that the public can't check their voting records and behavior in a countries legislative body, and tell when they're not acting in the best interest of their voters.

That bane isn't that bad. Especially if you slap an attack plus 3 seal on him. That plus hone armor buffs makes him hit pretty hard and he'll tank quite well.

Oh wait, it was the voting age? Yeah, ok, now that's bad
And I'm not from the US so...

I actually like the classic FE3 art. Especially compared to some of the DS games art.

The art for the old TCG in particular is really nice, in my opinion.

Umm, I actually think the voting age should be lowered to 16, but really had nothing to with my point. Just more commenting on the fact its another instant of a political party not actually legislating like it should be, but refusing to actually govern and then having those politicians wonder why the public dislikes them.

I meant them sabotaging it, it's pretty clear conservative parties don't want young people to vote because they're most likely gonna vote against them.

Shadow the Hedgehog's voice sound really weird to me.

I'm guessing because the only game I've played where he talked was Adventure 2 Battle.

It suddenly sunk in just now that I skipped an hour in my head earlier.

Fortunately it was because I was actually doing my timetable correctly, LOL.

He was done by David Humphrey there.

Then for the "4Kids Era" he was done by Jason Griffith.

Now he's done by Kirk Thornton.

Jason was my favourite personally, though I've heard Kirk does really well in Forces.

He REALLY hams up the voice in Sonic Boom and the Twitter takeovers, though.

I see that The Mummy Demastered got an patch update fixing some bugs and performance issues. Good

Too bad the GameCube controller still doesn't work on that game.

So you know how I asked what legend will Faba have in RR.

I have an idea, but it comes from the spoilers from the leaks.

Spoiler: potential story spoilers

So according to the original rumor RR shows up mid game and kidnap lusamine.
So with this I have an idea.

We see Lusamine has some evil in her but still is pretty sane and likely doesn't reach the wormhole at Aether. My guess is this is when shes kidnapped.

According to a rumor from another poster, Faba joined first with Giovanni and helped him connect with the other worlds.

So going by this, what if we get really dark...

Faba ends up learning about the sun and moon world and has them kidnap Lusamine to merge her with Nihelago and you finally fight Mother Beast Lusamine as Faba's puppet.

That would make him stand out and give him decent power while making a unique twist imo.
It could be pretty hype if it happened.

Plus it would set up for Lillie to leave at the end if they wanted to reuse that idea.

Thoughts?

I still don't know why he's suddenly evil tbh.
I mean, in SM he was just doing what his boss told him to do and reforms pretty easily.
I'm gonna bet on him being a double agent for Lusamine.

 

[Mythra]

Faba cemented his status as a ****head when his anime counterpart tossed Rowlet like trash.
If he's evil in the anime, he will be in USUM too while Lusamine takes her chill pill.
Dude has a big ego.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Faba doesn't seem like a very good guy to me. His appearance and mannerisms is reminiscent of a rat. He's a sniveling sycophant.

Though I'm scared of bricks.

I actually like the classic FE3 art. Especially compared to some of the DS games art.

I don't dislike the old art or anything, but you'd just be very limited in creating something like boxart with it. The new art just gave me more freedom.

Maybe, but he was still an *** in game and was not truly reforming but considering it and still hated kids.
He seems pretty evil on the poster, but a double agent would be interesting. But..

Faba cemented his status as a ****head when his anime counterpart tossed Rowlet like trash.
If he's evil in the anime, he will be in USUM too while Lusamine takes her chill pill.
Dude has a big ego.

He is evil in the anime and kidnaps nebby in an upcoming episode. Which is kind of interesting as Lusamine seems to be chill and trust Ash. She isn't evil it seems, but Lillie has contrasting ideals to her leading to conflict between the two even though Lusamine doesn't seem to bad.
