I'll weigh in on the whole "My Unit" thing when I actually have more information to base it off of.
What I'm more focused on is the whole "two dragons" thing. Essentially, to me, it sounds the same as Naga and Medeus. So, unless Awakening has some connection to Akaneia, I may scream and swear off FE. Which I really don't want to do.

It's not that big a deal...

No, seriously, what the fuck? Unless you're referring to how cliche that is (which it kind of is but this is FE whaddaya want), this would make for the fourth time that's happened:

Naga/Meduith
Narga/Lopto
Fa/Idoun (to a lesser extent)
this shit/tihs siht

Seriously, it's not like it cant be expanded on differently.

[brawlingwolf]

All right, all right. Calm down and reign in the killer weapons. I'm just saying it's getting kinda old. At least PoR and RD actually moved away from the usual this dragon v. that dragon. I'm saying they could probably use some new ideas.

You also have less plot-significant versions of this happening in other FE games, like with Ninian and the Fire Dragons or Kurth and Dheg.

Why move on to new ideas when they have not yet perfected the old ones?

[Lord Raven]

there's no such thing as perfect, though

Maybe IS plot creativity might have been 'improved' this time to: Let's have Dragon representative B(My Unit) try to infiltrate and screw over Dragon representative A(Lord)'s army. But Plot twist! Dude from B ends up working with Dude from A to take down some big evil demon thingy from faction C! No one will ever see it coming **pops open champagne**


Or maybe your enemies this time round might be everyone else in the world wanting to kill MyUnit and the Lord because it's prophesied that both together are dragons that would screw over the world and some such nonsense. Might be amusing if MyUnit and the Lord become Manakete's at some point in the game.

Or maybe somebody's country gets invaded by an evil empire and that somebody has to travel the world building up an army to reclaim his/her castle only to discover that the evil emperor was really just a puppet for the man who wants to summon the dark dragon.

That'd just be silly and too much like SS


I would prefer MU to have some special perk on his class though. Maybe a locked skill or something?

[Othin]

How odd that we have to add the qualifier "locked" for skills to meaningfully make a character distinct.

[CT075]

How odd it is to wish for some distinct perk rather than a one-off thing that is then transferred to whoever else needs it.

The oddity is that skills, which once served the purpose of a distinct perk just by being skills, have now largely fallen to the level of being such one-off things, with just a few of those exceptions.

How odd when some guy keeps bitching about how characters are less SPESHUL now.

[Othin]

How odd when someone seems so averse to the concept of having character choices matter on more than the most basic level.

Hmmm. Well i have a 3ds savedongle so when this game is out ill get to work on cracking the save encryption. It shouldn't be too hard as so far, in all 3ds games, the XOR key has been in the save itself, and in the same area to boot.

Unobtainable MU classes anyone?

[deuxhero]

He is a tactician?

The outfit alreddy looks like Mark, his job, amnesia and Mark's disappearance make the idea that Mark=MU is frighteningly plausible.

wtf? is Liz wearing a cage in her OA?

If nobody minds, I'll close this topic since it's been superceded by the Famitsu topic. Famitsu seems to have covered Jump's information plus 1 or 2 pages more.
