ChickenBits Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 (edited) That's a lot of alts. I don't mind alts but they went just a bit too far with this one. Aside from that the girls are really pretty and I'm a sucker for gorgeous art. I've wanted Mikoto to somehow end up in the game since the beginning and now she's here. It always bugged me that a gorgeous design was designated to the "I love peace. Kill me." role. Camilla doesn't fit but idc, Camilla somehow looks good in just about anything. As much as I love Camilla and the art, I've got to pass on this banner. I'll try to pick them up when they appear again. At least a free dancer :D I love dancers.

They saw all the unnecessary vitriol last week's Smash Direct caused and told Sakurai and his crew: "Hold my beer. You guys haven't seen anything yet compared to what we're about to reveal."

And then announce this banner. Not over 9000. Does not impress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sakurai just told people to knock it off about requesting more characters since the DLC ones are already locked in. Now IS is telling people to get out until January/March if they want non-3DS banners, I guess.

Mau Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Is this....a joke? Alts is one things but....everyone dressed as Azura? Seriously? Even Mikoto in her first appearance? I'm actually 50% sure it actually is a joke, cause this is beyond ridiculous and it's really weird they're showing this trailer now while there's a FEH channel happening later today/tomorrow. Mikoto's attack art is pretty though so I'd like to have her but ain't spending orbs on another healer. Hoping she gets a demote. If this actually is real. 3k dislikes against 2,4k likes right now, damn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tactician_Iris Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 5 minutes ago, Alkaid said: The theme on this one is weird. I guess it's like they've been lost into Valla (who Azura represents outfit-wise) or something? I was thinking it's a version of Valla where Anankos won akin to Heirs of Fate's premise. With Loki looking for him it fits in a sense - it would be hard for her to find a Silent Dragon in a realm when he's already dead. The young Azura is still odd even in that context though. Guess we'll see how the mystery will unfold soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkaid Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Mikoto being introduced with an "alt" outfit didn't even phase me. I'm far too used to IS just doing random shit sometimes by this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well 5th Lyn and 5th Lucina got a lot of dislikes so it isn't surprising 5th Camilla would as well. However I think it is likely more a general dissatisfaction with the units as a whole rather than just Camilla. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet when we got this, I don’t even have any emothions about it. Maybe faint disappointment? I just can’t care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd expect IS has numbers to know whether they should keep pushing with alts or not, so maybe plenty of whales are just fine whaling for the latest waifu alts, even if a bunch of other people are upset by it. Either way, they might also just have a ton of alts in the pipeline made forever ago that they don't want to waste, so any turn away from alts could take a while yet. I'm no whale, but I'm pretty delighted with this banner. (I only dislike how MCorrin is literally wearing Azura's dress rather than having it reworked to fit him better) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have preferred her regular self too, but I don't find this one is offensive enough to be bothered by it. Still better than no Mikoto. Sadly I wouldn't be pulling for her either way since what few orbs I have are stuck sniping for Camilla. I regret trying to fix my Loki's IVs.

Vince777 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Wow. They should not advertise it as a new heroes banner if it's to be everything like a seasonal one. I'm hurting with disappointment. (Will still fish for Mikoto) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This I agree with, even though I like the banner on the whole. I also was a little disappointed initially to see that it was another Fates banner and not even a parallel Hoshidan one to the Nhorian one prior to it. But still, it's pretty and I do like it. 'Course, I'm one of those who will gladly accept just about whatever IS chooses to throw out since I see them as having the right to do so and the playerbase as not really having a right to complain.

I doubt the Christmas/New Years' banners will have what I want, but I can only speak for myself. Apparently, I hold uncommon opinions. So, saving up to try to get L!Robin again. If I have orbs by the time those holiday banners come out, and they have units I want, then all the better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiki Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 ... ... It's another Fates banner. With three Alts. Three. IT'S NOT SEASONAL!!! This is a steaming pile of garbage if I have seen one. My conspiracy theory is that IS is working together with Blizzard for worst disappointments of the year. *takes tin hat off and throws it into hell* Alright, let's say having another Fates banner this soon is ... okay. *chokes* I would have understood if the banner would have Hoshidan units. Like Nohrian Dusk gave us 4 new OCs with Garon as GHB. It would only be fair if they try to equalize these numbers, right? Nope. Birthright only gets Shiro and Kaze as actual OCs. The rest? A Hinoka Alt and Rhajat who is a Tharja alt for all intent and purposes. Great. *slow claps* Helps that Nohr eclipses them in Seasonal Alts. God, this is a joke. FEH channel might as well be the introduction of 6* to screw over anyone with +10 5*s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icelerate Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 The last new heroes banner themed after a game was also Fates considering the new hero banners that came after were either original characters or Brave Redux. Furthermore, considering that Fates is already very over represented in both alts and first versions, who at "Intelligent" Systems came up with this banner?

That kinda won't work too well if half their current player base is knee-deep in Ultimate and as a result barely cares about FEH by then. Well, they might be wondering where my money I went after December 7th at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
