Kirie Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 Yeah, Grommel was confirmed to be a Tournie Promo by someone who understands Japanese and watched the livestream. It matches other meme characters getting Tournie cards, too (Wrys, Merlinus, Oliver). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be ridiculous; if Cipher was really trying to do that, then every series would consist entirely of Ike, Camilla, and Lucina cards. Unless I'm missing something and Ilyana is one of the most popular characters in the series. In my opinion, having 15 Laguz cards and 10 Beorc cards is still Laguz focused. My problem is that I would rather have new Beorc than characters who already have cards like... every Beorc we've seen so far. But I'm glad that Gromell is a promo exclusive, because if, say, Ashnard or Pelleas don't get cards, I won't feel that Gromell got in over them.

Maybe they'll show them off during the prerelease livestream like they did for S8. Otherwise we keep an eye on the event pages on the site.

I have a feeling this might be an expensive promo season for me, considering last season I was able to escape with just alm/caeda... I'm still looking for that Celica, but goodness knows that's a lot of money for a card! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ilyana is a popular Tellius character, which is why we're on her fourth card, while others like Brom and Makalov are sitting at zero. Personally, I'm finding this green expansion to be the most disappointing set we've had yet. With the exception of Skrimir, Rafiel, and Nasir; every green card has been for a character already in Cipher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully next time Green will get it's just desserts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardin Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I understand that, but I compare this to the purple cards we're getting, and green is just terribly underwhelming. I could deal with it if they were giving 1 card characters like Nolan or Astrid more cards. But, we really don't need more cards for Ike, Ilyana, and Mist at this time.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cat Villager Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Interesting. This either means that Kliff is getting SR because of his fan favorite status in Gaiden or Lukas comes before Faye but gets only one card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimmLow Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Hmm. I wonder who the R+X for this set is gonna be? Kinda tricky to predict this time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either Ephraim or Erika. SS is two sets away, and the R+X has always been the lord for the upcoming faction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the R+X cards in the past were always included with a corresponding color in the set. (Eliwood R+X in set 5). But that won't stop them from doing something new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt Magvel will get its own color after Valentia was lumped in with red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Echoes could have the R+X too, who knows. But I do hope it's Eirika / Ephraim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirie Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 I'm in the camp that thinks Magvel is going purple and that one of the Lords (probably Ephraim) will get the R+X. It'll be nice to have the colour confirmed in any event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrimmLow Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 So an SR and an R are dread fighters. I'm wondering if they are also self aware about dread fighter emblem. (Inb4 set 11 has SRs and Rs of Cavaliers.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
