i was never planning on getting jump force.

i want an actual 2D fighter crossover, Namco. I don't know if making it an arena fighter is trying to make it more casual, but goddamn if you ever want the Jump games to make more than the mediocre money it can get for the mediocre Smash Bros. you've been making for years, then follow Arc's footsteps if you're being best buddies with them on licensing.
Smash can never be mediocre...and neither shall some other things

Part 3 Dio's still one of my favorite Non-Stand designs Araki's made. Though Josuke's a close second and the whole Part 3 crew is pretty clean.
i remember the days before araki went fashion coocoo crazy

dudes are gonna go nuts once they see what part 6 characters actually look like

I said Jump Force is the mediocre Smash Bros

They can all use the Dragon Veins, just like Corrin, this is something only the royal characters can do unless given the ability to by Anankos.

If you want to get pedantic, Corrin isn't a Lord either, he's a "Nohr Prince(ss)/Hoshido Noble/Nohr Noble", the last true Lords were Chrom and Lucina.
They're not Lords in the sense it's used for FE. Otherwise we'd be calling Zephiel a Lord.
Lords are units who cause a game over when they die and/or are in the Lord class(the only time the second applies without the first is with Lucina though)

Any definition of an FE lord outside the literal class tends to be very superficial.
This is true.
They're "lords" in that in the literal sense in that they own land, but in FE terms, aka

1. Are you in the "Lord" class
and/or
2. Does losing this unit result in an instant game over.

They don't really count.
I consider characters like Caeda, Lilina, Azura and the Fates royals "Lords" in the sense that that they are story important playable characters who also happen to be royalty.

Thing is though that there's none lords that cause game overs when they die and lords that don't cause game overs when they die. Sooo.... *shrug*

What counts as a "lord" in FE is really kind of subjective. On one hand you have the literal class called "Lord", but even then you have characters within it like Lucina who don't fulfil all the traditional "requirements" like causing a game over if she dies. While on the other hand are characters like Lucia in Radiant Dawn, who has the "game over if she dies" thing for a few chapters, but doesn't really get counted by most people as a "lord".

I just don't really bother trying to class any given character as a "lord" in the fandom's sense of the term. It's just too inconsistent.

The characters I consider Lords are: Marth, Alm, Celica, Sigurd, Seliph, Leif, Roy, Eliwood, Lyn, Hector, Eirika, Ephraim, Ike, Micaiah, Chrom, Robin, Lucina and Corrin.
Everyone that's plot relevant is just that: plot relevant. And tbh, Lucina is only because of a technicality.

Lord is more so just a term used by the fandom anyway. Much like how in MK there's the "ninjas" despite that a good number of them aren't ninjas and there's ninjas that aren't among what people mean by the ninjas. Granted that's something that's more so blurred nowadays than when the term was first coined, but the same can be said for FE.

Or when people say that something "looks like anime". That could mean so many things, but generally people have a certain thing in mind.

See, why are Robin and Micaiah considered lords? That doesn't really make much sense, they're just relevant to the plot like you said.

I usually consider the "Lord" of a FE game as the unit that seizes the throne. Radiant Dawn throws this in a loop with geoffrey the paladin seizing, when he's not super important. Just the leader in a specific chapter.

I have an admittedly loose definition of what it means to be a Lord in a Fire Emblem game, it's probably self-contradictory as well if I were to properly analyse it.

I was about to say. Ike should also be called into question (because he isn't a noble) and Kris should be on the list if Robin is.

a technicality? you mean a spoiler?
Lucina is plot relevant up until the point she actually joins the army, at which point you can kill her off and the rest of the game will continue as usual.

Granted, she does have the Lord class, so that's gotta count for something.

Ike's class is at least lord to be fair. But only when promoted in Path of Radiance. As he isn't a lord in Radiant Dawn. So you're right.

Kris is definitely on the list.

However, **** Kris, no one likes him.

Then there are the few games where literally anyone can "seize" to end the chapter.

Unless I'm Mandela Effecting myself.

They're protagonists and cause gameovers when they die, that's what I consider a Lord

Lucina shouldn't be there then. Also there's other protagonists in Radiant Dawn that cause game overs when they die such as Sothe and Elincia. I know you haven't played the Tellius game though. It's weird as they don't have any traditional lords. They're pretty different from the other games of the series, plot in particular.

Bruno somewhat makes sense because it's been two tears and he hasn't been playable yet.

No idea on Lif tho. Guess a lot of the playerbase has just only played Heroes.
And REINHARDT?
Magic really is everything.

Goddammit IS, if they merged Heroes Anna and Awakening Anna, she would've easily taken second place HAND OVER FIST.

They’re not the same person though.
That's true.

However, I'd like to ask what kind person would be cool with an Anna Awakening alt but not an Anna Heroes alt and vice versa.

I mean how many people cared about the Veronica we got "isn't the one you're familiar with" or whatever.

Plus I mean Awakening Anna and Heroes Anna are basically the same Super Crown Mr. Krabs person personality-wise anyway.

I've been trying to break it down, here's what I've got
Have the "Lord" class, always cause a Game Over when killed: Marth, Sigurd, Seliph, Leif, Roy, Lyn, Eliwood, Hector, Chrom​
Lords in all but name, always cause a Game Over when killed: Alm, Celica, Ike, Micaiah, Corrin​
Not Lords strictly speaking, but always cause a Game Over when killed: Sothe(?), Kris, Robin​
Have the "Lord Class", but don't cause a Game Over: Elincia, Lucina​
Honorable Mentions
Gets a "Rapier" weapon, but isn't a Lord: Caeda​
Is Blood Related to a Lord character, but isn't one anyway: Lilina, Lissa, Emmeryn, Owain​
Share a unique ability with the "Lord" character: Azura, Xander, Ryoma, Camilla, Hinoka, Leo, Takumi, Elise, Sakura​

This took way longer than it should have to break down, almost like it's an arbitrary distinction or something.

Yeah. "I'm Lin Kuei, Scorpion was a Ninja". Thank's Bi-Han, but we're still gonna call you a ninja for simplicity's sake.

“If Marth wasn’t seperated why was Anna despite being different characters?”

Someone actually said that and like... I don’t even know how to reply to that.
