The many problems with Ike's redesign:
-Sword looks like it's part of his hand.
-That Hero armor does not fit him at all
-I know speed is his best stat in PoR, but he looks to nimble, make him a little bit more buff
-The color scheme for the skin is horrible (compare to my profile pic.)
-I think he needed more of his PoR clothes.

My main problem with Ike's Awakening redisign.
-The artist was incompetent

Maybe I'll give it a shot myself so I don't sound like an entitled prick. Same costume and everything. I'm sure I can make him look way better than in the official art for Awakening.

Another thing is the pose you should change that definitely

Like I said before, Ike's redesign in FE13 almost makes me not want him back if it came to that or cutting him. I'm sorry, but to see a Lord turned into a cyborg look-alike is just horribly unfitting.

It is terrible and Nintendo knows it, so it won't come to that, if they keep his PoR costume, I wish one color was the lord version like my picture.

When you look closely at it, it kinda looks like a hand is gripping it, but if that's the case, then why the hell is his arm so far out yet the sword looks so close :laugh:

Yeah, that's one of the worst designs I've ever seen for a character period

I'm no artist, but I'd like to add some of my personal problems to the list.

- Perspective: I do believe the sword should be behind the leg to cause less confusion.
- Inconsistent armour on both arms, further leading to confusion
- Sword looks awkward with little to no cross-guard (though that's a personal pet peeve). You can see the grip (the space between the blade and his hand) however, I think it would cause less confusion if the sword is given a proper hilt...or at least change the perspective. Like compare Rutger's sword to Ike's.

At least it doesn't look like Rutger has a sword arm.

- Domo arigato, Ike Roboto. Not only that, Ike looks a tad scrawny.
- Overall I'm not that fond of his redesign, though I think it's ok. I'm not trying to make a big deal out of it, but I find it fun picking out things that's wrong or bothers me in artworks, especially this one, so sue me.

Wait, I forgot to give my final verdict: 3.5/10 would not bang.

You know what is curious? The artist that made DLC Ike's artwork was none other than the artist that drew the character artwork for Fire Emblem: Binding Blade (starring Roy) and Fire Emblem 7 (starring Lyn, Eliwood and Hector).

Actually how does everyone think Marth will look in SSB4? Do you think they'll continue giving him his own 'Smash' look like he has in the previous 2 games? Because he's actually gotten a few official redesigns for the games he's appeared in lately.
Ive said recently in another thread that i think marth should take one of the latter two designs, either the shadow dragon one or the other below it. Since none of the fire emblem characters are bound to having the same consistent designs like the zelda characters they should all look different IMO (they all dont live in the same era anyway).

Ike should take his radiant dawn design as well


and with chrom we would have a lightweight, middleweight, and heavyweight.

At this point, neither Chrom nor Lucina can justify their position on the roster. Recentness be damned if neither can offer anything new. But the depressing thing is that the alternatives are not exactly that interesting ether. Seriously people, Roy is not that incredibly unique ether you know.

I'll just repost this:

Roy is totally the most unique FE Lord.

How many other FE lords do you know of that maybe could possibly be potentially able to transform into a dragon?

Sigurd has a Horse. He's obviously the most unique.

On Lucina, she could borrow some moves from the Swordmaster Rank; her pose is exactly the same, amongst other things.
And Chrom could have a healing mechanic with the Exalted Falchion, and maybe electric magic (Like Ike's B move)

And Micaiah is a mage, giving us a long distance fighter, while Robin is a mix of a sword user and a mage.

If you pair Nowi with Chrom can Lucina reclass to manakete?
If the Manakete are like the Laguz then children of a someone that isn't and someone that is cannot be a manakete/laguz themselves.

When it comes ot the Laguz, they are branded. Like Micaiah, Soren, and Zelgius.

Actually if the avatar marries Nowi, Morgan's a manakete and Nah is always a manakete, also the same with taguels.

Well, I do believe that whether X character is unique or not is also subjective (and it really depends on the context too). I really don't want to pull out my "Various things that make Roy unique" list.

Lets see:
Red Hair
Fire (Stolen by Ike :troll:)
A Sword (Taken by Marth, Link, Toon Link, Meta Knight, Ike, Young Link, and pretty much every FE Lord)
Personality (Has nothing outstanding or unordinary)
Fan girl material (Iffy. Ike, Marth, and Lucina fill this role quite well.)
Fanboy material (SO.MANY.VOTES.WHY.)

Fire Emblem characters in general lack that wow factor. It's like choosing between a back of rocks and a bag of sand at this point.
