The DanMan Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 3 hours ago, Altrosa said: Um, I've actually seen any official FE merch outside of SE releases and keychains, maybe the cardgames. Does music count as merch? But I think you may be grossly overselling FE as a money maker. FF technically has 3 to 4 times more games under it's umbrella, afterall. Honestly, Anna may be better compared to the many Cids in FF games. I was just saying that Moogle-level popularity isn't something easily achieved. Anna's spent most of her time as part of tutorials. Though the Cid comparision is closer, they at least actually appear in-story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueBloodEmblazer Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 A new Anna would be cool, but make her different in design, gameplay, and to a small extent personality, than the previous Annas. In Awakening/Fates Anna was money obsessed and magically based in Swords/bows and staves. In Heroes Anna is a physical ax user and couldn't care less about gold. So maybe in Echoes she could be a physical merchant class, and act more like a big business professional instead of a small time merchant.

I prefer small time merchant but mysterious be a big business professional(the Anna-network) selling bizarre item. I don't like she as fight unit. Feel like lose part of her charm.

I would like an Anna to be less obsessed about gold, but not to the point where she loses her defining character trait, like Heroes Anna. And I don't think there'd be any real difference between merchant/business professional. Anna likes gold, and these labels don't really seem to affect supports or anything. In terms of weaponry, I wouldn't mind another sword Anna, but I prefer one who uses tomes, and I would love to see another new design. I think I want to see Hidari draw Anna, more than anything.

How about a lance Anna? We had a sword Anna, an axe Anna, a bow Anna, a staff Anna (I'm pushing it here, who cares). Edited February 28, 2017 by Vaximillian forgot a bow Anna of Fates!

Ah indeed, she was a pegasus knight host of the tutorial in Path of Radiance. So yeah, technically we had a lance Anna. Tome Anna it is then!

Well, Awakening and Fates Anna both used staves, but Fates Anna's primary weapon was a bow, hence I want to see a tome-toting Anna. :) I suppose you could complete the weapon triangle, but I've never been a big fan of lances in general. I don't think the animations are as cool or flashy as sword or axe users. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaximillian Posted February 28, 2017 Author Share Posted February 28, 2017 @SpearOfLies The Merchant class uses lances in Awakening and lances and bows in Fates indeed. Yeah, I give up, there has already been a lance Anna. @InfinityAlex But lances are heroic, as Sain can attest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedEyedDrake Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 So just make a Dagger using Anna. What's the problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I do like to see an another Anna maybe uses Axes like in Heroes maybe for the Brigand class since there's no actual Thief class in the original game.

RedEyedDrake Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 If SoV isn't going to have Daggers then it won't have Tomes either. This is Valentia that we're talking about here. Of course there aren't going to be any Tomes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altrosa Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 (edited) Anna's merchant nature is subtle in Heroes. She is the first character you get in a free-to-play game. Anna is the one that teaches you how to summon with orbs. You can buy more orbs for more summons with IRL money. She is absolutely there to sell you things. She does have a few lines about opening a shop in the castle for the heroes, but yeah. If she is a secret or paralogue unit, then a mage seems fitting. Unless one team could use a healer or armored unit. Edited March 1, 2017 by Altrosa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
