But counterpoint, Lelia was never actually part of the Black Fang and if Jaffar is there, he'd require an Alt and we've never had two Alts on a new banner before. It could be the first time, sure, but i don't see it happening. Reinhardt and Olwen alts were both on the Thracia banner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humanoid Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Let's run four grey focus units again, what could go wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 34 minutes ago, Book Bro said: Yeah, honestly, I gave it a pass the first couple of times but at this point I do wish they kept made up alts for seasonal banners and if they really want to have alts on regular banners have them be canon ones, like say promoted versions (like Knight Chrom) or different canon appearances of characters (like Zelgius). They can still be imaginative here, I mean adult Nino (while never seen in the games, still canonically referenced) would be more interesting than random Pegasus Nino. It's not entirely random. Adult is less imaginative imo (though not as unimaginative as Helmetless BK) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reinhardt and Olwen say hi. ~~ I kinda wonder if we might get the trailer for this banner a little earlier than usual. I mean, I'm sure they know we've seen it, not much use trying to keep it a secret now. I don't really care about Nino, so I'll be looking to the other characters on the banner for some reason to pull. Not sure who exactly from Blazing Blade would get me to pull, but Canas would probably be a good start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle said: Reinhardt and Olwen say hi That's right, i completely forgot about that. That's what happens when you kinda stop playing the game for a while. Still though, i doubt we'd get four Alts in a new banner. Actually, i just realized, Nino isn't the first to seemingly get a random Alt. Reinhardt and Olwen got them too and it's less of an Alt and more of just different poses. Hopefully Nino's Alt actually looks distinct enough but it seems giving Alts to minor characters really isn't out of the question anymore.

redlight Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 My guess is that the four heroes maps are just special maps to get acessories Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yexin Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 yayyyyy we like recycling so much! recycling makes the world better! btw, i hope the banner's other units are people like pent, louise or erk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasori Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I thought that Binding Blade would finally get a banner now that every single other game/generation has had one. I'm still rooting for Pent and Louise to make it in, but I can't help, but be a little disappointed about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redlight Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Banner preview is out. Karla, Legault and Flying Nino. Canas was on the map Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefyingFates Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 (edited) I can still see the spoiler image, but I'm surprised we don't have the trailer itself already. The banner comes out tomorrow, doesn't it? On topic, I didn't think Nino would ever get an alt so now I'm beyond thrilled. I know alts have a bad stigma and I get why, but let Nino have this. She deserves the best :3 (I'm sure the alt is because of how popular/ memetic she became through FEH, but I can work with that.) Edit: Just saw the trailer. And I see Canas!!!

If this is an FE7 banner and it is the Four Heroes one, what if it's referring to the Black Fang and the banner consists of Nino, Jaffar, Legault, and Leila? Leila & not Linus? No 1 ever remembers Linus. That makes me kinda sad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Fallen Takumi is a GHB so he doesn't count so Fallen Heroes still had two Alts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardin's internal name is "HARDIN_DARK", which implies that this is not intended to be a "normal" version of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I agree that the vanilla character is the main unit and not the first one, Shigure in the Catalogue exists and is stupid. ...Then again, the Tellius set is butchered by sorting by game, so I dunno if I consider that indicative as opposed to lazy/uninformed.

Nowi's Husband Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 Super hyped for Nino and Canas, two units I really liked in 7. I've got 400 orbs cause I'm saving for Witch Nowi merges, hopefully Nino doesn't use too many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It still follows the proper sort order, though. Despite the time difference between Radiant Dawn and Path of Radiance being roughly the same as between Mystery of the Emblem and Shadow Dragon, characters received new designs in Radiant Dawn that cause them to be split by game based on which game's design is used.

Fire Emblem Fan Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 So is Canas gonna be a TT reward or something? That's disappointing. Why are all the awesome characters (Joshua, Fin, etc....) unsummonable lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I distinguish between "order they have set" and "order that actually means something". Yes, it follows the former. Doesn't help that the Catalogue is sorted by Origin in the inventory, and I can never get over RD Ike being separate from the other Ikes by a literal haircut. It's just mildly frustrating when I actually have to deal with it gameplay-wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least this order makes sense. Whatever is the issue here? Other than separating Pokes from evolutions and pre-evolutions obtained in later games? Admittedly, the series doesn't give a rhyme nor reason why Bulbasaur is no. 1 and no. 333 is Swablu, or any other Pokemon given any other number.

Technically Shigure from the Wings of Fate banner is an alt, but many don't see it that way. My point is, there has been an instance where we got a permanent character banner that was mostly (if not entirely, depending on your point of view) alternative characters.
