Hinoka, Camilla, Takumi and Leo confirmed

[Iria]

YES!

Yes!Yes!Yes!Yes!Yes! I'm SO hyped right now! Leo is in!! This game is perfect, no matter what they do now ❤ (well, they combined my two favorite video games, so I love it anyway:))

 

Otherwise, the characters all look really nice and I'm more than happy with the roster so far! I can't wait for the characters to come, especially who they chose from shadow. (camus - please?)

 

I think the VA's sound mostly alright, except for Hinoka, but I already disliked her english voice in Fates. Well, I'll get used to it:) 

Release Date seems to be October 20. Thank the gods it's rather soon!

Also is it just me or does the footage of Corrin + Camilla, Leo, Hinoka and Takumi cut off abruptly while panning from Leo to Takumi?
Like there could be something/someone to the left of Leo/right of Takumi? Or it's just wishful thinking on my part.

Care to be more specific?

Timestamp would be 38 seconds on the UK trailer:

The same scene is shown here at 76 seconds in:
https://youtu.be/xEw2yRactuk?t=76

They look oddly zoomed in to me - as far as my sense on Visual Presentation in video goes.
(Graduated Art school student here)

Granted that latter part makes sense since the DOF keeps Corrin in the focus, but the first one's panning looks weird - more specifically cutting of the arm of a character isn't practice normally - you'd rather have the video's edge start on the background rather than the middle of an arm..

Clarified what I meant

[Kahvi]

I'm not really surprised about any of them getting in. Camilla seems a bit less fanservicey due to the lack of jigglephysics especially considering the developer's working on this game. Also, sounds like Takumi finally shook off his smoking habits...

[Armagon]

I love how we got a new trailer showing new characters, but we don't get to see them in action. 

Anyway, it's not a surprise any of them are in but uh, that voice acting tho. Chrom, Lucina, Lissa, Robin and Frederick's voice sounded fine. So did Marth's and Corrin's. So why do the Fates siblings aside from Ryoma sound so off?

[Lightning Grandmaster]

Nice to see the Fates royals (well, most of them, least). Now, all I need is some confirmations for Shadow Dragon characters other than Marth (and Tiki, by proxy of her amiibo).

[Bartozio]

New trailer looks nice, but it didn't really reveal anything I wasn't expecting. Since Azura is the most promiment infantry lance user in the featured games, I'm expecting her to be in the game as well.

The real question for me is who they will include from Achenea. With there already being 3 flyers anounced and Ceada being a pretty obvious pick, I'm not to sure they'll also include Minerva, which would be a huge dissapointment. really hoping I'm wrong there.

Also, Hinoka's new voice actress kind of annoys me. Hopefully I can turn japanese voices on in this game...

[RedEyedDrake]

...That voice acting. THAT VOICE ACTING. Whoever is in charge of this is doing it on purpose, aren't they? Was reusing the voice actors from Heroes not an option? This is one scenario where using the Japanese audio (if such an option is available) is completely understandable.

...Yeah, that does seem a little odd...

Anyway, slightly different camera technique, but during the character blitz, Camilla leans forward. I suspect she'll be doing that longer in the actual game, and am impressed she didn't do it in the trailer. Sincerely.

oh my god

we have hinoka (cordelia 2.0..... I LOVE hinoka just less than my SWEET SMOL SISTERS :(((( but she's a lance pegapony like Cords :( )but not sakura or elise

omg im dead whERE ARE MY CINNAMON ROLLS

omg i really wanted sakura to use like a bow and elise to use like tomes and they'd be healers too and sakura could've had scrolls AAAAAAAAA

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

on the flip side azura wasn't confirmed so maybe we get them with her but why announce every sibling AND NOT THEM

this doesn't make sense oh my god

all i wanted was sakura NoOoOoOoOoOOoOooOoOoOoooOoO considering canceling my preorder if this game has no cinnamon rolls

yall wake me up inside when we get our sweetie pies ok????

no im serious i really dont understand WHYYYYYYY these little cuties would be AMAZING in this game!!!! my heart is shattered NOOOOOOOOOO

how hinoka get in but not sakura?????? they basically score the same in popularity poll :((((

EDIT: SHOOT Elise got 4th I thought she kind of had to be in?????

Edited August 22, 2017 by Pokechu

[Azz]

I'm happy we finally got more characters and I'm suprised to see Hinoka tbh. The voice acting though, eww.

While I'm suprised Sakura and Elise aren't in (Though I wish they were), where is Azura? I hope we see her soon.

And another question, is this our male archer and female rider reveal or can we expect more characters at Gamescon? I sure hope so. 

[BlizzardWolf95]

This is great. I figured we'd get two, or three, but all four? Happy day.

Sakura and Elise will likely be NPCs. It would make a lot of sense.

@Jedi, do Warriors games normally do NPCs? Don't actually remember Hyrule having any, come to think of it...

Do you mean Fates? 
Since it does sound like they are re-using the FEH re-casts. E.g. Camilla = Misty Lee, Takumi = Michael Sinterniklaas, Hinoka = Cindy Robinson.
Reasons for the re-casts are speculation at best but the VA strike, union, scheduling etc. there's a lot that can influence wether someone reprises a role.

You and me both - but I think it's due to matching the length of the others (as theirs are also shortened from the looks of it).

Only Proxy, Levias, and (sort of) the Great Fairy. I know the latter was part of a weapon set for Link but she wasn't a character of her own I mean.

Double post

[LucarioGamer812]

I was not expecting Hinoka to be honest, and though I kinda expected Camilla and Takumi in, Leo was another surprise addition (though not by much, since I figured he'd get into the game one way or another) Anyways fates finally got more reps. So as of now we have

Shadow Dragon: Marth confirmed, Tiki implied

Awakening: Chrom, Lissa, Frederick,(M and F) Robin, Lucina, Cordelia confirmed

Fates: (F) Corrin, Ryoma, Xander, Camilla, Hinoka, Takumi, and Leo confirmed

Now I'm 100% expecting Azura to be confirmed soon, and more then likely we'll see another awakening rep or two, probably Tharja and/or Gaius, or maybe instead Severa or Owain, if they want to have two child units escorting Lucina. Anyways enough speculating on the games we know about. So I'm thinking for Shadow Dragon is: Caeda will get in but as a sword flying unit (heroes has basically forced it upon her and I doubt we'll see the whitewings as "Too many flying units!", I would like to go for an oddball choice or two and say Hardin will get in as a lance cavalry, and him being the next heir of Archanaea, two-three knights of Archanaea may escort him, so possibly Midia (serving as sword cavalry), Astram (as Axe infantry), and Jeorge (as an archer), then with Tiki being implied that'll bring the Shadow Dragon roster to 7, though a few alternations could be made to this, if Hardin does get in, Maybe have 1-2 wolfpack members come in as his guards (Probably Wolf definitely being a bow knight and Vyland or Roshea maybe and put in Barst or one of the three axe users to be Caeda's guard or whatever) Short point of the speculation, I'm trying to include semi-popular characters in one way or another (aka filling Niches possible with that character) in order to get the most reps possible, I would love it if the Whitewings, Minerva, Ogma, or even Navvare got in, but due to the "Too many swords" complaint, I'm trying to provide alternate ways we can get more characters in (I heard a few complaints about Astram not using a sword so here's the reasoning)

Lissa does not count? Still probably will appear alongside Azura since the fates royals are so popular and we don't have a mounted healer yet or a healer based on bows/magic

Just saying in hyrule warriors the only voice acting we got (besides the screams, grunts, taunt grunts, yells, and laughs) was one fairy yelling "Look Out!" a lot. Though I know people hate english VA, I just play the game with however the english setting is, though all to be considered, if they don't have Julie Ann Taylor VA Cordelia, then if there was a Japanese VA option, I'd go with that.

Hmm never thought of the npc route, so wait how would npc's work? Like allies that needed to be rescued/protected? If that's the case then maybe merchant escort missions will be a thing too (or side objective on maps) Though despite how many fates characters there are, I still thing with them literally revealing every other royal as playable, they'll get playable status (or maybe like Ruto and the villians in hyrule warriors, be unlocked via whatever non-story mode there is)

From what I remember the closest we got were ally escort/protect missions with an ally spawning in (say baby cuckoo) and going to a point while needing defensive escort (escorting Cuckoo to the feeding ground and killing the ambush enemies, or another example being escorting the bridge operater in that one level) beyond that though I don't think there would be any examples of NPC's.

Warriors games are typically 97% NPCs. Samurai Warriors 4 had ~50 playable characters and around 900 named NPCs.

Hyrule Warriors didn't have any NPCs, but other collabs, like Gundam and Berserk, were filled to the brim with them, being about a 1:8 ratio of playable characters to NPCs. Not sure if FEW will get this treatment, but if it already confirmed NPCs in a twitter post a few weeks back, I'd say we'll be getting a few, and Elise/Sakura would fit right in.

I wouldn't think that they're a perfect fit. They have relations with many other characters, which was a criteria when they decided on the roster. They're also very popular (Shoot, the little sisters are more popular than Lissa!) and Elise is plot relevant, and they're already more important than other characters because they're royals. If they can give Lissa an axe, I don't see why Elise and Sakura would be best as NPC's. Plus we wouldn't be able to have a mounted healer w/o Elise (no one's asking for Maribelle LOL) and Sakura could have some scroll moves while being a bow user; they'd both be pretty unique.

True! The lack of Azura was very weird though considering she's basically a shoo-in lol. I really hope they're with Azura, otherwise it'd be very strange to have all of the siblings besides the little sisters

[LucarioGamer812]

Okay I had only watched the Japanese version with no audio earlier, but now that I've watched them both, MY GOD ARE THEY TRYING TO MAKE HINOKA/CAMILLA A LOLI?! BECAUSE THAT WHAT THEY SOUND LIKE. Also they knew I would get mad if Julie Anne Taylor wasn't VA Cordelia so of course she's not in the character blitz. Takumi/Leo sound slightly off to me, but I'm more willing to accept that as I don't really mind the guys VA, normally VA doesn't concern me at all, but making Hinoka/Camilla sound like Loli's is way too far, And yes I do know and understand the VA strike and union, just is it hard to make characters not sound like Loli's?

Compare to the likes of Ramba Ral, Kai Shiden, Fa Yuiry or Yazan Gable not being playable, but NPCs with unique mobile suits (except Fa), in DWG1. Or Pippin, Isidro, Skull Knight, or Mozgus being NPCs (even when SK has a unique moveset!) in Berserk.

Being a Warriors NPC isn't too bad.

Edited August 22, 2017 by BlizzardWolf95

In the UK trailer, it says `Please note that this game will only be available with English voiceover`.

I personally don't mind most of the VAs except for Hinoka and Xander (but I disliked Xander's English voice anyway)

[SatsumaFSoysoy]

Meh. Not very hype. Just show me Azura and then let's move on from Fates.

I'm confused. I haven't played any Warriors games besides Hyrule Warriors, though.

I'm still lost as to how Sakura and Elise are perfect as NPC's. They'd make really diverse characters to play as!

This was hinted at back at the Switch conference, they're going the way the swords appeared in the trailer: Chrom's Falchion, Corrin's Yato, Raijinto, Siegfried and then Marth's Falchion.

That's what I'm basing it on.

Incidentally, based on this trailer, I think the burning city we've seen in some trailers might be the setting for a battle against Leo, with Robin playing a major role.
