Fire Emblem

Captain Ogma deserved more love.

Back to the game talk, these sprites look WAY inferior to even the GBA ones. What the hell happened?

You can't really expect that level of artistry from a mobile game. It's rare even for higher budget stuff since 3d models usually tempt them away for cheaper.
 
Keep in mind that Blazing Sword only had ~50 classes in the whole entire game (And some of those didn't even have battle animations!) where as Heroes is very likely to not only have more than 50 characters, but, unlike the GBA games, they don't seem to be reusing sprites for characters of the same class, which means every single character in the game, along with any that they add in future, is going to need their own sprite. You can start seeing why they may need to cut down the budget a little.
 
btw, just thought I'd share my Battle Ballot:

and yes, most of them are from my favorite one.
 
ah, a man who clearly loves sacred stones

in other news, guess who got 5-star Lyn on his first pull bitchezzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I started late . . . :(.
And if I had the option I'd change Noire out for Setsuna, because Seti's too damn adorable, but that's my fault letting my first and last choices be random.

I started a little late too, if i had more time I would have thrown in some more Tellius and a pity Sigurd
 
My best card is a 4 star Hana
I'm not happy about this.
 
I voted for Camilla every time.

Unfortunately, I only voted like 2 or 3 times.
 
Oh hey, I got Effie. Goodbye Effie. I'll wait for Sully.
 
My ballot votes (In order): RD Caineghis, RD Volke, L'Arachel, RD Nephenee, Joshua, Hector, Nolan, Ephraim, PoR Ike, Lyn, Hector again, RD Ike.

Also, so people know what they can actually get, here's the games starting roster:

R.I.P. Jugdral and Tellius, I guess, but keep in mind they've said they are planning twice-monthly updates, so hopefully these holes in the roster will be plugged up soon.
 
We get Nino but no Jaffar?!
Who the fuck was picking these?!
 
Jeez, Yuri Lowenthal seems to be getting quite some hate for voicing a lot of characters in this game.

It's as if Yuri Lowenthal is a well known voice actor and has gotten a lot of roles in the past and in general has a lot of range and a good voice

Or that it'd be easier to get one guy to do multiple voices instead of trying to get several do one voice each.
 
"a lot" is also a stretch
he's three characters: Marth, Merric, and Eliwood
3/89 is the same amount as several other VAs in the game
 
I can see some reason why people would have disdain for Yuri's casting.
I mean, this is the first time many characters will have English voices, and while Ben Diskin is doing his hardest to not make every character he voices sound the same, you got Eliwood sounding way too similar to Marth.
 
A lot of Fates/Awakening characters got recasted and that makes me sad

tbh, I kinda prefer the new voices
unfortunately, there wasn't recasting where it counts.
and by that, I mean Effie is still awful.
 
Awakening only really lost Inigo (rip) and Gaius

fates tho
:(
 
If you dont balance your team you cant get past ch 9.
Team of sword, axe, lance, mage/bow is optimal imo

Rip team lyn/roy :(
 
Just dealt with a super annoying strat in arena

There was a Takumi paired with a Nino. Takumi would move forward and take pot shots at my units and then Nino used Draw Back on the Takumi to pull him back out of range of me being able to reach him.
 
Anyone have a solid guide on beating the final chapter of World of Birthright?
 
Arthur's art is by the Codename Steam guy...its so fucking perfect.
 
Certain characters have special cutscenes when you summon them, mostly the focus heroes
Roy taught me the hard way that that doesn't exactly guarantee a five star.

god how dare voice actors get work
the fucking nerve of them for needing money to survive
Kind of funny thinking back to that voice actor strike a few days ago.

its funny but I got Corrin and he didnt have one. 5-star, too.

I guess Roy's just a special little bugger?
 
Roy's a focus unit for one of the banners, so I guess they just get the intros even if you don't get the 5-star pull
 
Marth, Roy, Tiki (I think), Robin, Lucina have them as far as Im aware.
 
I got them from Lyn and Takumi as well
so yeah, banner units by the seem of things
 
So, uh, just to ask, is Veronica playable at all?
 
why would the villain be playable in the base game
 
why would the villain be playable in the base game
Because I kind of like her design and that makes me ignore the irrationality of her status as a playable character.
I'll take that to meaning the Masked Man isn't playable either.

Pretty much what you'd expect though I'd expected to Owan to be higher. Though Lute only got 13 I'm happy with her place considering all girls above her and the fact she got over Elise, Anna, Nino and Sakura.
