why give your original characters donut steel swords then
You forgot our boy Marth
On one hand, me too. On the other hand, I like Awakening and Fates a lot, so...
Shadow Dragon shouldn't get a pass just because it was first. Its supporting cast is the most bland, vanilla cast in the entire franchise. Add Marth and maybe the OG Pegasus sisters (which could easily be skins for the same character even) and call it a day.
The only protagonist that matters uses an axe toughThe reason all the protagonists from the Fire Emblem games are not being included is because if they did that, everyone would be using a sword.
Kind of ironic since judging from the Famitsu picture it looks like both the original protagonists are using sword & shield.The reason all the protagonists from the Fire Emblem games are not being included is because if they did that, everyone would be using a sword.
It was a really silly thing to say with the choice of original characters that they gave us.
I'm stupid. It must be sleep deprivation.He's there in NMOE. As for the original kaga games, I think everybody agrees that Thracia's the best (I love Genealogy but it does have its flaws).
The vast majority of characters will be from Shadow Dragon, Awakening, and Fates.

Yeah, this is a bullshit excuse. If they wanted non-sword users, they could have easily gotten Celica from FE2/Echoes, Hector from FE7, Ephraim from FE8, or Micaiah from FE10.or Kris from FE12
Remember:
Marth (Shadow Dragon) - uses a sword
Chrom (Awakening) - uses a sword
Corrin (Fates) - uses a sword
I'm out.
Do we have any confirmation of online play or versus mode?
The characters that appear are generally from Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light and Fire Emblem Awakening, as well as Fire Emblem Fates. This wont be a gathering of the protagonists from across the series.

Double edit: I just remembered that Leif can wield every weapon in FE5

Too many OCs so far, but I guess they're going more DQ Heroes and less Hyrule Warriors.
So I guess characters from other games who don't make it in at launch have a very high chance of being DLC down the line.The vast majority of characters will be from Shadow Dragon, Awakening, and Fates.

"The vast majority of characters will be from Shadow Dragon, Awakening, and Fates."
Fuck, off!
I'm excited for the game but really? So many characters in the franchise and you pick mostly from the games with the most boring characters? Fate characters are mostly dumpster fire tier.

That's fair I suppose.
Sadly, Leif only promotes to Master Knight in 4, not 5.
Master Knight Leif in FE5 would be sweet though. (There is also unused Master Knight class/animation data in 5 thought it's buggy and I'm veering into trivia)
More or less reposting what I said in the other thread
2-4 ocs
Marth
Caeda
Cain
Child Tiki
Draug
Navarre
Chrom
Robin
Lucina
Tharja
Virion
Adult Tiki
Corrin
Xander
Camilla
Ellie
Leon
Ryoma
Hyouka
Setsuna
Takumi
Azura
This will be fairly close to what the roster will be pre dlc, probably most of the above with a few not making the cut and MAYBE 1-2 odd fan favorites also being in despite not being from the 3 games mentioned
Dlc will probably be in packs like
1) Roy, Lyn, Hector
2) Ike, Dark Knight, Soren
3) Alm, Celica
The other fe games and larger rosters from those games will likely be saved for a sequel.

Way too many characters in that roster.
I'd probably go
0. At lease three OC's (the twins and Darios (pic is floating on twitter but he looks playable)
1. Marth/Caeda/Tiki (as definites)Navarre (likely but sword)Minerva
2. Chrom/Lucina/Robin (both versions)/Adult Tiki/Tharja
3. Xander/Ryoma/Corrins (both versions)/Takumi/Camilla
It's worth noting that the phrase "vast majority of characters" may indicate that a very small amount of popular characters like Ike and Lyn who I recall placing high on those Heroes character polls may make it in.as DLC
Of course that could also just be referring to the original characters made for the game.

Lucina (Awakening) - uses a sword
Robin (Awakening) - WHOAH USES TOMES WHOAH and uses a sword
Corrin (Fates) - uses a sword
Ryoma (Fates) - uses a sword
Xander (Fates) - uses a sword
I'm out.
Edit: Thanks psychowave for the additions. Oh look the two original characters use swords too.
Double edit: I just remembered that Leif can wield every weapon in FE5
Darios (voiced by Takuya Sato) - Prince of the Kingdom of Guston. He taught swordsmanship to Shion and academics to Lian, so he's like an elder brother to both of them.
They talk about the weapon triangle, so they'd need to have mages and axe users. More than one of each, I'd imagine.
As I said in the other thread, everything sounds great, but a lack of Alm or Celica will be enough to make me pass just out of defiance.
I know, edgy right? But SoV is brilliant, and I see no reason why Awakening and Fates should get more promotion than it. I get Awakening and Fates characters already have big following compared to SoV, but neglecting to represent them at all isn't helping the situation. The likes of Gray, Claire, Saber, and Berkut could easily rival the popularity of the past 2 3DS entries characters if they had a chance to shine.
I don't mind the more recent series having the character focus despite Awakening and Fates having truly awful stories. I'm not a fan of the current character designer either, but the designs have room to look pretty cool in a Musou.
That said, I wouldn't mind seeing Titania!
I would just main her the entire time. >_>That said, I wouldn't mind seeing Titania!
Titania looks gorgeous... what game is she from???
