I’d comment on the current discussion, but I’ll say this: Three Houses and Gen 8 have a much higher prospect of getting newcomers if there is a Season 2. Because I don’t expect that myself, I don’t find either likely.
However, for me, it comes down to gameplay and engaging with the character. I myself would be excited for Edelgard, because she’s a good character with actually developed traits. She brings an axe, battalions, and of course the loathed Crest system.
I don’t have much information on any viable 8th Gen Pokémon, so I can’t really comment on which ones I would be interested in.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I’m very much over rep talk and find that arguing “X series can’t get another character before Y series because they have enough” is trivial and a waste of time.
Then again I’ve also read some really ridiculous takes on Fire Emblem in Smash over the last few days so I’m already jaded from the conversation. The roster, imo, is mischaracterized by a good portion of people who speculate the roster. In my opinion, anyway.
I guess I kinda...commented on the discussion.
