I have 20 Orbs in FE Heroes now. Which banner do you all think I should go for?

If you like Ike (or any of the characters alongside him, except for Mist (who suffers by being a healer) they're all good), go for his banner. If you just want strong units, go for the Hero Fest, since you have a minimum 8% chance of getting a 5* (and will probably still just end up with five more Bartres).

---
Meanwhile, I've been putting together a Flier Emblem team. Michalis + Fortify/Ward Fliers = 45 defense so he laughs at everything that isn't a red/green mage, and with Quick Riposte and Ignis on top of that he does insane damage to everything. If he intends to conquer all the worlds, he's doing pretty good so far. Other highlights include Minerva with 55 Atk/41 Def, Palla actually making the Ruby Sword useful, and Catria being useful all around, as she does. Now I just need one of them to show up as an arena bonus unit.

I've been pulling from Hero Fest myself in hope of Takumi, but I'd say it depends on

1. How much you like Ike or Ryoma/Takumi/Azura/Hector
2. What your current team composition is, so one of these can fill in a slot.

I guess it could be a potential replacement for Mario Bros.

Sorry Wonder Red fans, but they got Inkstriked by the Inklings. At least they did better than Callie & Marie, that's for sure. The Inklings are the only real newcomers that are shoo-ins after all.

Next up is one Wii U RPG by Atlus that is controversial on many accounts, and being an idol game isn't one of them. Your choices are Itsuki Aoi, Tsubasa Oribe ( Lord-Zero ), Kiria Kurono, and Eleonora Yurizuru (@WeirdChillFever). This one should go by quickly before I do ARMS.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

And please no "Kowa****ai" or "FAIA EMBUREM" ****posts, and that means you too @MIAvoy.

Aww crap, I missed out. I would've voted for Itsuki due to main character status but Tsubasa's a good choice too.

@ Tsubasa picture: Her Hipster outfit was fine. What was wrong was Treehouse and NoA trying to be "too safe". NoA tried too hard and it totally backfired which is why I'd support a TMS Switch port but uncensored.

Moydow : I'm working on getting my 5* Zephiel to LV40. Distant Counter is great on him.

Pulling from the Hero Fest Banner got me 2 Hectors, a Ryoma, and a Takumi. One of the Hectors was sacrificed to make Zephiel great again, my remaining Hector and Ryoma remain unused for the moment while Takumi's Counter will be passed on to Genny if she appears in a probable Celica Banner. If not then...I'll hold on to him until Moulder becomes available.

PoR Banner got me...Mist which is fine since she's the one I really wanted. ATK+ too.

My main gap is that I still haven't got a 5-Star Blue Unit. Got plenty of 4-Star ones above Level 20 but I don't play the game seriously enough to save Hero Feathers in a timely fashion.

Guess I'll go with Hero Fest and hopefully get Azura or some other 5-Star Blue.

It's definitely in development. Nintendo are likely focusing on FE:H so they can sustain its business model by making gameplay more robust and adding on new content. Its focus will diminish in due time. I expect the app to be revealed at E3.

The game's English title has a '+ Bowser's Minions' thing. At worst, a collection of minigames. Nothing harmless
Unless it's the minigames from BiS, then Alphadream can go **** themselves

It helps to remember that Japan is very loose when it comes to copyright. Japan is a country where you can actually sell fan art and fan games for profit - that's basically what the doujin market is. That's a primary income source for a lot of young artists.

That's only for the anime. Japan does aware of copyrights.
China is the country that is being notorious for having a very loose copyright. And with hilarious boot legs.

If Heroes continues to rake in cash I don't think the focus will diminish all that much

If you're still looking for Blue Units, Abel, Linde, Ursula, Subaki, Catria, Effie, Ninian, Azura, Olwen, and Reinhardt are great choices. Reinhardt in particular can benefit from cav buffs which make him even better. You can pull him as a 4* or a 5*.

China is on a different level tbh. It's almost like copyright infringement is encouraged there.

The government is extremely biased against foreign companies, so that gives Chinese companies basically free reign.

I've been using Cordelia. As far as flying units go, she's pretty great, at least from my experience. She's a pretty good sweeper.

I clicked this topic thinking it was just a joke but someone actually made a 5-chapter(6th yet to come) analysis on why Haitaka is the best Fates character and it's actually really good(and right)
https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/204443-fire-emblem-echoes-shadows-of-valentia/75294267
Dunno why it's on the Echoes board tho

This also reminds me of the fact Oboro has Rally Defense in FEH and if that wasn't supposed to be a reference to him, then I don't know what it was

TBH, it sounds more like a happy accident more so than intentionally well written character. (That could be said for the Fates bosses in general though as funnily enough they'd probably make better characters than at least some of the cast we ended up with.)

I got Titania, who is nigh immune to all forms of blue magic. I'd like to get a Hector or two from the Hero Fest, so I can throw Distant Counter on Titania and watch as all the Reinhardts and Lindes of the world just fall apart. I also stuck Green Tomebreaker on her since her Res is so high, so Nino and Julia and co. would crumble, too. I also got Ryoma, but in +Def -Spd form, making him basically Ike in lobster armour, in terms of stats. Not sure if I'll bother with him much, though a Quick Riposte would quickly fix that -Spd.

Once I get Xander from his Great Hero Battle, I'm considering going Horse Emblem, to go with my flying team. Throw in Reinhardt (or Camus, whenever he shows up) and Cecilia and a couple of cavalry buffs (which are easier to come by than flier ones), and I'm laughing.

 

[ChikoLad]

Made my pull in Hero Fest.

Didn't get a 5-Star Blue but I've had worse pulls.

The team will be downsized once all the major characters are added and the game will only require smaller changes as opposed to the wider spectrum of content. Programmers/artists/etc. will be moved over to another project in the company, likely the Animal Crossing mobile game or something else entirely. As a matter of fact, it's probably being restructured as we speak.

Isn't FE Heroes more of an Intelligent Systems initiative?

If anything, the FE Heroes staff would be moved to other Fire Emblem projects, not Animal Crossing.

Metal Gear is easily surpassed tbh, this too, surpasses MG

I ****ing love this stupid chunk

 

[Mythra]

My left shoulder hurts, it is weak and cracks with movement; rotator cuff tear bois!

Space Jam 2 is happening, and there is a Half-Life 1 remaster

I know about Space Jam 2, and Im sure a game based on it will be made in a way LeBron is portrayed as the best ever in a tryhard way + a potential flat earth plot.

Now imagine yet another HL remaster. :v

If that means remasters of Blue Shift, Opposing Force and Decay, or even just Half-Life 2 that'd be awesome. I'm just starved for Half-Life content in general

 

[Erureido]

Did a summoning three days ago with the release of the Hero Fest event, and look who I got:

Spoiler: Who I got

Image 1
Image 2

Azura! What a nice surprise! I finally have another good lance-fighter to use aside from my 4-star Subaki. The fact she has the singing ability will make her a great asset to my team. I'm currently training her up alongside Soren, Catria, and Palla (the latter two I'm only training just to get their orbs for one of the ongoing quests right now).

I'm hoping to do the Hero Fest summoning a few more times. It's currently my best chance to get Takumi, so I'm hoping I'll get him before the event ends. Hector would be cool too.

EDIT: Great, the image uploader is broken again...

Good job

So, the demo for Guilty Gear Xrd Revelator 2rd is apparantly out on the USA PSN or if not, it's going to be release pretty soon anyway, so if you like the game (and that you are not a european like me. ;(), be sure to check it out!

Also, if for the few GG fan here, what DLC character do you expect? Me, I think it would be cool if Zappa (AKA The Possessed) and Bridget (AKA The Trap) were the next character along with some new one, but what do ya think?

I'm really happy for you! Congrat'! Your hard effort were finally worth it in the end. ^_^

As someone who doesn't play Guilty Gear and has never really gotten interested in it, Bridget. Everyone's gay for Bridget

If he is in, I hope he is like Dan in SF4: a joke character that at first, seem weak and easy to beat, but can actually do some good damage here and there and being generally decent. Because Bridget in the later game was made really bad. While before, he was good or atleast decent from what I seen. Which is kinda sad honestly, yeah, character like that are meant to be jokes. But who doesn't want to kick someone ass with a joke character that is stronger that you may think?

 

[ChikoLad]

I just realised something funny about the Villager's "pain" expression in Smash.

He literally gets 0's in his eyes.

It's like someone just rated his village a 0/10 and he's like "NANI!? A zero!?".
