Social "Time to Tip the Scales!" - Robin Social Thread

[Chapter Serf]

Actually, I found ME3 to be thoroughly enjoyable. The ending was a lot worse than what the series deserved, but the sheer awesome that the citadel DLC brought kind of made up for it in my mind. And the main game was also pretty damn amazing.
Though it may also help that I headcanoned the ending into something acceptable for me.

Don't get me wrong, ME3 was the best 30 hours I ever spent in a video game. It just happened to proceed the worst 10 minutes I've ever spent in a video game.

The ending just ruined the whole thing... And the other two games in the process...

Uh, when did you guys start talking about cross overs? Anyway, if I was to make a cross over, it would either be Fire Emblem Warriors (remember that idea) or a Zelda and Fire emblem cross over. Now that second idea sounds awesome!

Just give me an FE MMO.

 

[Célja]

I think one reason I like playing Robin, Ike and the other FE characters, is because it's real time action. While Fire Emblem Warriors doesn't sound too bad, I'm sure it would get the usual Dynasty Warriors effect and become boring after a short amount of time. I would like to see a good Fire Emblem crossover, but the question is with what? One thing I've pondered is what if they branched away from the turn based strategy and something more real time. I'd still like the idea of controlling units and having the whole strategy element, but I'm really unsure how to do it in real time and make it work well. Of course I'm just going off what I want, but I would kinda like to see Fire Emblem outside of the turn based strategy and maybe more expanded than Smash.

 

[Elezir]

Since we are talking about it...

I think something like this would look good
Now, someone send this image to Intelligent System.

 

[Antonykun]

I heard there's a guy named emblem crossing which makes me laugh at the idea of having Villager trading furniture with Ike

 

[The_Cardinal]

Hey, I like the Shin Megami Tensei series
Though I have to agree that the series don't have anything to do with each other, and I cannot understand how they chose these series for a crossover.

Even Pokemon has more to do with SMT than FE.

They still have a lot more in common with each other when compared to Disney and Final Fantasy. All SMT X FE needs to work is one good heart-to-heart elevator talk to work.

 

[Célja]

I would play it just to see how much of a funny neighbor Ike would be. He'd be that guy who when you trade something with him, he'd ask for meat.

Edit: I just realized he'd share the same personality trait for people like Sheldon for those of you who have played New Leaf. For those who don't know, Sheldon is a squirrel who loves to work out, exercise, lift, and other fit stuff which would fit perfectly for someone muscular like Ike.

That's Marx, and he's probably the Western Lord in the new Fire emblem game. He was shown in the game's trailer.

There's even fanart of him already

I'm like 99% sure its camus and he's also in the right edge holding gradibus

I was thinking about this Camus when I read that :v

I'll give a cookie to whoever got the reference

If it's the one from Fire Emblem, I don't believe I have played the games he appears within yet, but I did search for his artwork.

Spoiler

I'm sure it's not him :v

 

[Coolpool2]

Camus is from FE7, he's a dark mage.

 

[Moydow]

That's Canas. Camus is from FE1/11. Camus is also the guy on the horse in this artwork:

You're talking about Canas :v
I would know: I just love his design.

Spoiler

Yes, I like mage-like characters a lot. The only exception is the handsome Ephraim even though he's a spear-user I love him just as much.

@Edit: Pfffffff, someone beat me to it...again 8D

 

[Antonykun]

I haven't taken a look at camus's artwork before now I'm 100% sure that he's the man on the horse on the right they're even holding the same lance

 

[Moydow]

@Edit: Pfffffff, someone beat me to it...again 8D

Now, allow me to settle this image:

In the lower right is the katakana マーカス (Mākusu). Therefore, Marx.

The guy on the horse in the other image is Camus. His name is カミュ (Kamyu), which is Camus' name in Japanese.

 

[Elezir]

Yes, yes.
As your prize, have some Wendy

カミュ is also on the health bar
Edit @ Elezir you haven't played shadow dragon? that's my second favorite.

That's what I was referring to.

Yes, yes.

"Nooooo! Why must this happen twice in the same threeeeeead?"

 

[Antonykun]

That's what I was referring to.

just in case some one thought that wasn't Camus's health bar

 

[Elezir]

カミュ is also on the health bar
Edit @ Elezir you haven't played shadow dragon? that's my second favorite.

Not yet. I'm trying to finish a Lunatic+ run on my Awakening, then I'll get to Path of Radiance (Normal+Hard), then Radiant Dawn.
Shadow Dragon is Marth's game right? I'll get to that after Radiant Dawn.
Then Roy's game, probably. I should've played that one after FE7, but Sacred Stones got in the way first.
...I'm playing everything in the wrong order, right?

 

[Coolpool2]

I got halfway through shadow dragon, it was my second FE game. I never found the time to finish it though. I've never done a Lunatic plus run yet but it seems like the key to winning is to pray to the RNG gods and grind until you are max level then grind some more.

Although this discussion has been tread on before, the most recent article on the homepage about customs being considered for EVO (which I doubt will happen but still) got me thinking: what are my fellow tactician's thoughts on the matter? For the sake of argument let's just assume every single custom move has already been unlocked on every single Wii U at a tournament. Whether it be from the perspective of a competitor, a spectator, or just as a Robin main, would you still support having custom moves at tournaments?

Do you think that they would be a great way to add variety to the gameplay, making Smash 4 stand out more from the other Smash games, and possibly make for more interesting match-ups? Or do you think that it is too cumbersome and the expectations and sheer volume of match-up knowledge would become too much on the players, especially since feasibly training against certain custom character sets would still require people to grind for custom moves for characters they don't even use (Why Sakurai? Why?!?!?!?)?

Personally, I like this.
It'll make matchs more interesting and will make it possible for other characters to have a chance.
Honestly, though, I see this being more of a "test" than anything, to gauge the customs possibility in future tournaments.
I know why some people don't like it: It will make matches more imprevisible and possibly harder (For us even more, considering most Robin mains like to foresee the enemy's next move), but I say we should give it a try, at least to see how it will work on EVO, otherwise we will never know: Maybe it'll make the game better and most players will prefer to have customs on next tournaments, I know some people were upset Apex didn't permit it, for example. Sm4sh is still new, so we should explore every possibility we have.

Either way, I think I'll have fun watching EVO this year.

 

[Coolpool2]

I'd think that customs might slow down the matches a bit setting up, but would be more enjoyable to watch regardless. It's neat to see the mix ups and different techniques people can use with custom moves. Custom moves will also most likely let us see more characters that aren't the top tiers, maybe.

 

[Célja]

I would like to see more custom moves used before we go deciding that they should be banned. I want to at least test them out in tournament settings enough to get a good grasp on them. I know some people think it makes everything random and jank, but I'd like to test things out before we go all ban happy. Granted that with my Robin I would rarely use customs very much for I'm so used to default Robin, I would still like the option to use a custom moveset for certain matchups. I think they add another level of uniqueness to the games so we're not stuck with the same old, redundant matchups.

No shame in accidentally mistaking Marx with Camus. Good chance Marx is going to be the Camus of this game. That is, the series tradition of a strong general on the enemy's side who sympathizes with the player, and only fights against them out of a strong loyalty to their lord, even if they know they are in the wrong. We've already seen dialogue of him questioning his father's motives (his father likely being the old guy watching the dancer), so we can see where this is going. There's also a chance he may be Kamui's brother.

Unlike other characters of the Camus archetype, like Selena, Shiharam (;~; ), and Mustafa... the legacy of Camus breathes into every fibre of his being. If this game ends up taking place in Valentia, I'm going to laugh if he ends up being either an ancestor, or descendant.

Now, someone send this image to Intelligent System.

Been done. Literally.

That's Marx, and he's probably the Western Lord in the new Fire emblem game. He was shown in the game's trailer.

Marx is probably going to be the Camus if you side with the Eastern Army

That's why I want the possibility to pick sides to be true: Look at him, he has to be the ultimate husbando of FE14
though I'll probably ship him with maleMU on the first chance I get

Hong doesn't sleep on service, that's for sure Maybe we'll actually get a game like that in the future...? wishful thinking

 

[Kotor]

I don't mind if FE14 will let you choose to side with either Marx or the Lobster Lord, but if we're given the option to go against both armies, I'll take it.

 

[Hong]

This is my hope, as well. Could be like a difficulty within a difficulty. Would be cool if you could choose to fight the eastern army, the westery army, or both, and get a different ending depending. Would be nice replay value, like the route split of FE8.

 

[redfeatherraven]

Geez you guys move fast. Snips.

Fire Emblem Warriors would likely fit even better than Hyrule Warriors did and is worth investigating.
Yes I just want to shank a whole army with Jaffar, why do you ask?

Customs should be legalized. The primary complaints have all been well and addressed, and at this time I firmly believe that the only people complaining are either misguided with regards to the logistics, too lazy to learn additional matchups, or obstinate hoo-hahs, all of whom get no sympathy from me.

I don't know jack about FE14 yet, what sources do you guys have?

 

[Hong]

If you want a good analysis, GameXplain did it best. Only thing they missed is that Kamui was shown three times, twice as male, and once as female, likely solidifying them as My Unit/the Avatar.

Edit - Embedded the original trailer, in case you had not seen that, either.

There's a reason as to why I believe in at least choosing the side you want to ally with.
Take a look at this gif:


Our beautiful husbando Marx is attacking that monster from which side? Why, from the player's side, of course.
Of course, I could be misguided about this one, but there's another thing: I'm sure these monsters will be enemies from at least both armies, that's why I think, that at some point, the east and the western will ally to take whatever created these things down.
Really, I doubt they would show this piece of gameplay for nothing.

From what we've seen, it's likely that Marx will serve as an early-game pre-promote for the younger Kamui. Kamui seemingly initially starts off on the western side, so Marx could serve as our Frederick while the player learns the ropes. Would be cool if the Jeigan of this game pisses off when they're no longer needed.

I suspect that dragon/manakete choking the Dancer may be related to the monsters. Appearance wise, it fits the description of a Japanese dragons. It doesn't automatically make the East the enemy though. The dragon's most likely acting on its own and possibly using whatever conflict the two sides are having to further its plans.

Whatever type it's going to be, I'm betting on it being a Water Dragon.

It's funny that you say that, because there are people speculating that Kamui might be the dragon.

 

[Deleted member]

It's funny that you say that, because there are people speculating that Kamui might be the dragon.

It could be possible, but is there any sort of theory to support this?

Spoiler

I think people are thinking this because Robin was a vessel for Grima and Kamui seems to be the avatar for this game.

 

[Elezir]

It could be possible, but is there any sort of theory to support this?

Spoiler

After all, Robin was a vessel for Grima.

Well, the only theory to that is the fact that the "dragons" face is hidden when he turns into humam form, hinting at it being the Avatar, and the fact that it's clothes resembles Kamui's.

Spoiler

and of course, what happened to Robin Awakening

Sometimes, though, it does not bode well with me. It resembles bits of Awakening story, and therefore, resembles it's Black and White morality, which was the low point of FE13 for me.
But that just one trailer out, and lots of the speculation could be misguided or outright wrong even though I think it's fun to speculate

For now I'll just let the hype train continue it's journey to hypeland

 

[Chapter Serf]

You know, I've quite forgotten what it's like to be hyped for a video game... I'm interested in FFXIV: Heavensward, but I can't say I'm hyped. Probably because I'm not done with 2.0 and still have work to do before the X-Pack hits.

Alternatively, the last game I was hyped for was none other than Mass Effect 3... And that kicked off a four-five month slump in my video gaming life that was unprecedented. Only a 50% off deal on Skyrim saved me.

 

[The_Cardinal]

If Kamui is indeed the dragon, which my instincts tell me as well, than it would be great if you could actually channel that power in battle via a modified dragonstone of sorts. A small part of me always wondered what Robin would look like as a manakete.
