PSH! Biggest star my fat behind! I'll drink a glass of pure sweat before I say Ike is the "Biggest Star". HA! Most people know Marth before Ike anyway, not to mention Marth has literally 4 different games he's in lol Now, I like Ike (pun intended), but I knew about Marth way before I knew about him. Even so, I'm still happy he's here heh. Spoiler All hail Marth Spoiler jk Edited April 25, 2017 by Arcanite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silith13 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Haha the PoR dagger users. Actually a fun idea for a Soren with dagger for one of those holliday versions. (Halloween Soren) he'll have really low attack but be a debuffing monster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuroi Tsubasa Tenshi Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Silver Dagger+ Calill with Blazing Wind as her special. Same with Bastian, but he gets Rising Wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally make me want to cry every time I see a slot on the focus wasted on a character who could have been someone actually worth a rat's behind. And I know some people like certain healers or what have you for their character but seriously, I'd rather take skill fodder than another healer (Clair is an example). And Mist isn't even mounted either so it ain't even a trade off -.- Oh well! *shrugs* Healers are just so same-y it gets boring after some time. I fed all of my healers to Priscilla for skills so new healers don't really have much to offer my roster anymore. On the bright side, Mist's Spur Def/Res looks pretty cool! It still isn't really worth pulling for her, imo. 5 minutes ago, unique said: man now i'm thinking about how funny it would've been if they pulled a lucius again but even weirder and made soren a dagger user because of that knife promotion you can get him in PoR that no one ever uses That would be so funny I wouldn't even be mad.

Armagon Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 So, if they add in the Laguz to Heroes, do you think they'll introduce a new weapon type? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Othin Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I'm definitely going to be focusing primarily on red orbs for this banner. I imagine that gives a 3% chance of getting Ike? Still not seeing an appeal in pulling colorless. Pulling green seems a bit silly since I already have two 5* green mages and three 5* axes, and despite their new skills, neither Soren nor Titania look that good. Still, as far as I can tell, Titania is the first green cavalry available at 5* without using feathers or pulling from a GHB banner, so she could be useful since I'm interested in working on a cavalry team. Plus, extra odds of getting a bonus unit is nice. There are some blue units I'd like (Azura, Ninian, and 5* Reinhardt so I don't have to upgrade my 4* one), but lack of any focus unit means blue less appealing right now.

Raven Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I'll only be pulling red here. Ike is the only guy I'm interested in. Mist would be fine but I really don't want to waste my limited orb count (should be over 55 by tomorrow after earning +15 from the new mains story chapter) on pulling colourless crap.

A really popular Smash Bros. character, but that is where the bulk of his fame comes from. Of course the same could be said of most of the Fire Emblem Smash characters. At least unlike Roy and maybe Marth, he has lots of fans WITHIN the FE fandom as well. I see plenty of people who played his games say they like him as a character (even if it's just gameplay wise). And he won the Japanese Famitsu poll and the Heroes poll. Roy only has Smash fans since his game was not released outside of Japan. And those who did play his game don't like him in it because of how bad he is as a unit and his late promotion and such. Apparently some Japanese do like him a lot as a character, but that's it. And Ike still beat everybody on that Japanese poll. Marth only has one game in the west which didn't do very well and he's not as highly praised character-wise as Ike is. Even on SF alone, I see Ike consistently win favorite lord polls (sometimes by a lot). Marth is still the general FACE of FE, but given the evidence, Ike is without a doubt the most popular character in the series because of the love Smash players and FE fans alike have for him, so in a way, he is FE's biggest star now. @Arcanite Two of Marth's games are remakes though. Both him and Ike have the same number of titles discounting that. Though I do agree that Marth may be a bit more well known and the one that comes to mind first for most people anyway.

Don't get me wrong, I like Ike, but mostly because of Smash like so many others. If his games weren't so hard to find and expensive I would love to play them myself though (virtual console please). Calling him the biggest star though...may be somewhat debatable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please IS, prove me wrong. It depends on what sort of stats they've been putting on recent units. Although, regardless of stats, I'm not that excited about the skill sets either Soren or Titania have, and Soren's skillset in particular looks like a worse version of Merric's. Gunter is another reason for me to want to pull green, though. I didn't keep any spare copies of him from the beginning, and he can supply Hone Cavalry. I want more spare units with cavalry buff skills to inherit onto 5*s, particularly the offensive ones for boosting Reinhardt's damage, and while Goad Cavalry is the most appealing, it's also way less accessible.

SatsumaFSoysoy Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I mean, I wouldn't rip on Ike's character. I think he's a solid protag, and Tellius was fairly well-written. Just not my fav. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind an HD remake of the two now that you mention it. I still doubt that Ike would be my favorite, but at least then I could judge him on his actual character.

You tell me not to speak for everyone (which I didn't mean to, should've worded that better), but then go and say people only like Ike for gameplay reasons. Which is wrong. I and others definitely like him for his character and story too. In fact, I like him MORE for that than his being great in gameplay. And nothing stands out story-wise? How about being the only lord that isn't of noble/royal birth, which let him grow up unrefined and more casual, unlike other generic sword princes in this series? How about how he actually grows as a character throughout PoR too? His ability to win the respect and trust of people that at first hate his guts like Reyson (and to a lesser extent, Lethe and Tibarn)? I always found this so admiring about him. Other lords in the series already had respect and trust because they're nicey nice princes and nobles and such, so Ike had to go around and earn it before he made a name for himself. Also, the part where Ike offered food and gold to the Daein people. He didn't get angry or anything when they spat on him. He simply explained that they are not his enemy, that his only enemy is Ashnard and his followers. This also made me keep admiring him. I admit the whole revenge for the death of a parent thing is cliche, but cliche doesn't necessarily mean bad. And that wasn't even the whole plot anyway. It was more a side thing.
