The thing about fan service targeted towards straight women is that women are generally more character oriented. I'm not really familiar with this otome yusha game but judging by a quick google search, the men aren't really showing much skin in their normal outfits and same usually applies for most otome games etc. I obviously can't speak for everyone but I'd just get annoyed if male characters in fan service-y outfits were constantly shoved to the screen. That's not the only thing that Chinatsu worked on that is targeted towards straight women by the way. They also worked on Uta no Prince-sama and some Nitro+Chiral properties. Whether this means anything for 3H, I have no idea.

Sacred Memories Out of the units from sacred stones that are not in heroes yet, I mainly want Neimi or Colm but I don't know if either of them would've fit this banner that well. Maybe Rennac to go with L'Arachel Fallen Heroes I think Orson could've fit this quite well, even if he isn't exactly possessed. The Branded King Maybe Cynthia or Laurent World of Thracia I haven't played Thracia Wings of Fate Reina for obvious reasons. Maybe Rinkah. Scattered Fangs Sonia perhaps, although it would be more fitting if she would have a ghb. Ylissean Travelers I'd like Miriel but I know she's not that popular Adrift Anankos, Arete, Sumeragi or, heck, even Anthony. Literally anyone new.

Ok, thanks for the advice! I was planning on foddering the other one since special fighter seems like an interesting skill.

So, I somehow managed to pull two brave Ephraims. The problem is that the other one is +atk/-spd and the other one is +def/-res and I don't know which one I should keep. I have so many units already that there isn't really a specific role he should fill and I would just like to know other's opinions on the matter

That is exactly why I have to play games online. None of my irl friends own a Switch (at least as far as I'm aware of) or really care for games I like, so the only way I can play games with any actual person is through online play. I mean, I'm sure they'd find some enjoyment out of Smash but I doubt it would keep them interested for too long, since it's a "kidz game". So local multiplayer isn't really an option.

I (and probably quite a few others) mainly thought Chrom would be an Ike echo because his build is much closer to Ike than Roy. Then there's also the Viridi's line about him and Ike being too similar in Smash 4. I'm not disappointed that he's a Roy echo or anything, just surprised.

I'm pretty happy that he's in. I mean, he's popular and they already had a model for him (probably did some tweaking from smash 4 to ultimate, but still). I do understand why some people are upset but I think it makes sense that they added him. As to why he's a Roy echo and not an Ike echo, I have no idea. Maybe they thought he isn't cool enough for Ike.

Dancing Samurai, eh? I can't believe Heroes is having a cross-over with Vocaloids. But in all seriousness, I'm happy they finally have a special banner with two male and two female characters again. I might try to pull Xander and Elincia but I don't have much orbs currently.

The one on the left is most likely Ryoma unless it's some art style thing and it's Wrys or something. Regardless, if this is an all male banner (finally), it could be something interesting, especially since the notification is calling them "elegant". Too bad I just spent all my F2P orbs on the vantage banner.

The game's themes seem right up my alley. I like that the game seems to be taking things a bit more seriously but of course I'm not expecting it to take it to the levels of SMT etc. since it's still pegi 12. I do hope the gameplay is at least decent, it's pretty hard to tell from just the small clips they showed off. And I also hope I can get a wormmon. But the latter isn't a deal-breaker for me.

I don't actually dislike the unit because it's another Lucina alt etc. but because the design is really lazy. Like previously with legendary Lyn, it's basically same the same as her legendary variation. The only change I can see that Lucina's cape might be slightly different. They could've at least given her the archer/sniper class's clothes from Awakening but instead they decided to recycle. Oh well.

1. Tempest Trials - It does include grinding but because of the long time it's active and the daily 2x chances, it doesn't feel that bad. I enjoy the current incarnation of it a lot and the only downside is that the units you get as rewards aren't always the best. 2. Voting Gauntlet - I know it tends to be a major salt mine for many players but I enjoy it. The rewards could be better but I just enjoy the gameplay aspect the most out of all the events. The main downside is that the mode doesn't favour us Europeans at all since the biggest multipliers are up when I'm asleep (or at least when I should be asleep, cough). 3. Forging Bonds - From what I've seen so far, this mode is very grindy. The convos are nice but it just takes too long to get them, even with the accessories. Also, it seems to be based on luck which character's points (or whatever they're called) you get. So far Libra just seems to hate me. 4. Grand Conquest - I used to dislike this mode a lot more because I don't like the RD style of maps but then I found an easy solution: just use the autobattle and do something more interesting in the meanwhile. 5. Tap Battle - I don't like rhythm games. The main issue I have with them is the sounds you get when you press a button with the correct timing, isn't in the song originally and my brain just goes "what is that sound, it doesn't belong there". Turning off the voices and having no feedback either isn't an answer either. But I suppose turning off some track from the song and having the player play that instead would be too hard (maybe, I'm not an expert on that front). Having to play the same song eight times isn't exactly my idea of fun either and I've liked maybe two songs they've chosen for the mode.

I haven't bought or plan on buying any orbs because I know that if I spent, let's say, 1 € on it, that'll quickly turn into 2, then 10 and so on. Basically, I have no self control when it comes to stuff like this. I'll probably never get to rank 20 on the arena because I'm a F2P but I'm fine with that. I don't consider buying orbs cheating because that is literally the only way the developers make money out of the app. I'd much rather have that than have billion ads etc.

Ooh, that would be really neat and nice change of pace from the swimsuits. Too bad they already had similar sort of thing for new years, so I doubt they'd do it again for the summer.

I'm hoping that the new heroes banner will be a SoV themed but I wouldn't mind Binding Blade either. Still, the pessimist in me thinks that it might just be another Fates banner. I'm a bit surprised about the special heroes banner they have scheduled. I don't remember them having three banners last summer and three beach banners in a row (plus the repeated ones from last year) would feel a bit too excessive.

A lot of the grandmaster ones feel like there's only one solution which is a bit annoying in my opinion, since part of why I enjoy FE is that you can play it how you want to play it. Pretty clear they are not meant to teach anything either, unless someone really wants to make their life hard and go to arena with three units and only escape route or wings of mercy equipped. Haven't bothered with the other ones yet but I'm assuming those are less finicky.

I'm not even angry, just really sad. The banner is not only blatant pandering but also really lazy. I suppose it's kinda nice that they have mounts but… Takumi? Really? Only way they could've chosen a safer option would've been to go with Chrom again. And really, you gave him a bow again? I mean, I like Takumi but this just makes me not want to bother with the banner at all.

To be honest, that makes the whole thing even more depressing, since the last thing those people need is yet another gacha to splurge on. But I know that pandering to them does make sense financially and one game not pandering to them isn't going to change anything. At this point, I'm just hoping things won't escalate even further and they just stop adding male characters all together. Now I'm imagining Wrys in a wig and bikini. Pure nightmare fuel.

I should've known it was a foolish wish to hope that maybe the next seasonal banner will finally have three male characters. Just to set my expectations as low as possible, I'm now fully expecting this to have three women, two of them possibly being Camilla and Tharja, and if one male character does somehow stumble in there, it's Chrom again.

Good to know I'm not the only one with connection problems. I was beginning to wonder if my phone was dying or something. I hope they'll fix it soon.

Huh, the loading times seem really long this morning and I got a communications error after summoning. I sure hope this has something to do with my mobile connection and not the version update.

The reason people are complaining about favouritism towards female characters isn't because of what the female to male ratio is in general but how the seasonal alts favour female characters more. With this banner we've had three seasonal events in a row with three women and one man and Marth wasn't even in the banner. Now, the reasoning behind this is obviously the thing you mentioned previously; men (presumably) spend more money on gachas. So, it's understandable they've been catering towards them more. However, I am worried how this approach will turn people off from the game if they continue this way. I certainly am starting to get a bit tired of this and I know I'm not the only one.

Well, now I am very happy I decided to spend my orbs on the fangs banner rather than waiting for this because I don't care about any of these characters (although I don't particularly hate any of them either). Anyway, is it just me or does Innes have a very strange hair colour in that picture? At first glance I thought it was Eldigan or Ares and had to look up what others were saying.

The one on the rigt looks a awfully lot like Frederick but since that's very unlikely, I'm guessing it might be Stahl. As for the left, it's probably Gunnthra or Azura. If it is Gunnthra, I predict she might bring along either Anna or Fjorm too.

Edelgard - I feel like her role in the story is going to be somewhat like Azura's with a bit more hands-on approach to resolving conflicts. Axes aren't exactly the most graceful weapons, so I feel like she'll be more closer to Lyn or even Hector personality-wise. Dimitri - Looks like a bit of a snob to me. Most likely going to take things more seriously than others. Claude - My favourite so far. He seems a rather laid back and fun guy. Byleth - I still hope he isn't an avatar. The problem I have with most avatar characters is that they have a personality and backstory that distinctly isn't "me" but the game sure likes to act like that it is Really, most of the time the character isn't even anything I'd create as an oc. Regardless, FE has this weird problem where it feels that it's necessary for every other character to suck up to them because they seem to be afraid that someone might get upset if another character would call their precious little avatar a meanie. Even if some character doesn't like the avatar, they either change their mind or are portrayed as a bad guy. That kind of behaviour has the exact opposite effect for me. Now, the same problem does apply to most main lords but I feel like the it isn't quite as bad for them as it's for avatars. tl;dr If Byleth is indeed the avatar, I'm not going to like him. Looks like that's just his shoulder to me.
