GinRei Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 For units I'm looking forward to because of who they are, I can only really think of Ayra (Geneology), Larcei (Geneology), Guy (Blazing Sword), and the Choose Your Legends winners.

redshirtontherock Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Admittedly I would love to see Libra from Awakening, Charlotte from Fates, and...hmm...from the older games, I would be thrilled to see Canas. I have a weakness for the "dark mage" archetype characters and Canas is just the nicest and most chill of them ever. And scholarly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They flubbed Lachesis and Lucius. I'm fairly sure Elincia's getting a staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lachesis is famous for her starting sword, and Lucius is the only character who can wield FE7's S-rank spell (I forget whether it's Aureola or Luce) without changing a healer into a light user. Plus, I'd really like a flying healer, and the alternatives are turning a Genealogy flyer into one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I'd like Elincia with Amiti because Amiti is awesome (it's like a brave sword, but looks better!) and I still think that's what we're getting. We'll just have to agree to disagree.

Oh, and Renault, and rule breaker Athos (literally the only unit allowed to have multiple S ranks for some reason). But yeah, the only non Prf Divine Weapon you get is Aureola. There are S Rank weapons for everything else, but they barely scratch the dragon... Edited March 21, 2017 by Glaceon Mage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's kind of covered in that whole. (You know, I think I've been playing Sacred Stones too much... I think the only ones who can use the S Light are Lucius, Serra, Renaud and Athos).

The way you said it made it sound as if you meant Lucius was the only guy who can use Aureola, which isn't the case. My bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bethany81707 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 ...Though maybe they are saving Aureola for Renaud. Or Athos gets it instead of Forblaze, which also comes with problems (Lilina doesn't already have it, does she?). Or maybe they'll just overlook it.

Carter Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I really want Nyx and Charlotte, but we have so many characters from Fates already, so idk about getting more anytime soon. But aside from them, I'd like to see Lute, my favorite character from FE8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And she's going to be healing for most people anyways. Only someone who knows how ridiculous the master knight class is would dedicate their time to making her one. To the unsuspecting eye, Lachesis is a healer. Even then, she's probably power leveling with staves for a good while. Spoiler Not going to argue Lucius though. We've had more than enough healers recently. I'd also say Elincia is pretty safe with a sword unless they make a flying healer which sounds all sorts of not-right. Staves have always been secondary, if at all, on fliers. Can't say I detest the concept though. I'm looking forward to Sigurd myself. More Tellius and Jugdral in general.

Athos will most definitely be using Forblaze, since it's Prf to him and associated with him in the backstory. For getting Aureola, I suppose if they decide to add backstory figures they can give it to Saint Elimine, but besides her it's not really associated with anyone!

Oh, she does start out with staves? ...Does Leaf? The Master Knight business is all sorts of confusing. Well, staff-botting was Elincia's main thing in Fire Emblem unless you put in work in FE9, and the game slips in a skill that makes it impossible to use Elincia offensively unless you notice and take it off in FE10. Plus, nothing's really stopping them from having Elincia be a healer that uses swords instead of bursts of light except whatever caused Lachesis and Lucius to happen in the first place. 1 minute ago, Glaceon Mage said: Athos will most definitely be using Forblaze, since it's Prf to him and associated with him in the backstory.

Leaf is locked to swords in his base classes. So he'll probably be left in the dust if they make him a lord/prince. At the very least he might get the Light Brand. There's a strong case there, but from a design standpoint I see either Elincia using swords, staves, or being mediocre with both. I don't think the designers want a character with staves and swords which is why healers can't inherit them. Lachesis is unfortunately the precedent. Actually the more I think about it the more I want a rare hybrid with uninheritable cross-class skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On-topic, I NEED SUMIA. April fools isn't ingrained into their culture, however. It's kind of like how Christmas is a romantic couples holiday more than a family one over there. They have their own interpretations of events and have only started April fools as mainly an Internet phenomenon. So while I admit I jumped the gun declaring that it won't happen... It's not the most likely thing in the world. Edited March 21, 2017 by shadowofchaos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salinea Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 45 minutes ago, phineas81707 said: Oh, she does start out with staves? ...Does Leaf? The Master Knight business is all sorts of confusing. FE4 loves giving staff access to female versions of classes for some reason. They did it with the Prince(ss), the Troubadour/Paladin class (which played as a female version of the classic cavalry. Plus staff.), the Mage Fighter one. Given how FE4 plays though, it's ridiculous to claim that Lachesis is mostly a healer. She is for the first chapter she appears, but that's because of the green units that stick to her that you want to keep alive. And there's 2,5 chapters after that for Lachesis to unfold her awesomeness on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need for it to have every single legendary weapon. Durandal, Armads, and eventually probably Forblaze on Athos are probably the only ones from that set. (Does the Binding Blade count? It kind of both does and doesn't.) Lucius having Aureola would have been pretty odd when he doesn't have any explicit special connection to it, anyway.
