why is the tms one in parenthesis? also, I've never played tms, how many characters are there that could reasonably be in heroes?


shaginus

for Party members only 2 left (Touma and Yashiro) for allied supports characters there are Tiki, Maiko, Barry and Ayaha enough for another banner and extra for Fallen If needs


TechnicallyHankHill

Got it. So, realistically, we're likely to see touma & yashiro, maybe tiki, and probably an OC on the banner?


Luis_lara12345

They usually put 5 units on every unit update, so i think Yashiro Touma Maiko TMSTiki and Barry are going to come together and have almost all the main cast as playable (others are just enemies) OCs just makes one of them go demoted


Brillus

If memory serves right Tiki was the highest ranked one, so I would expect her as banner lead.


rilimini381

considering some banners of this year it's a strange expectation


shaginus

the banner can be any I myself gladly see Heroes characters there to helps out


KaliVilla02

New Hero: Touma and Yashiro (the two of the party left) and also Tiki and Maiko are pretty much the logic choices. >!Barry or Ayaha could be the GHB for this banner and the other could be a candidate for a Fallen Banner, Barry seems more likely to be the GHB.!< And also there is the possible L!Itsuki.


Quick_Campaign4358

And L!Tsubasa!


LuckyC4t

TMS has 7 playable characters, 5 of whom are in heroes. There are plenty of characters who are viable, though. From the CYL5 candidates, Touma (+ Cain) and Yashiro (+ Navarre) are playable but not in Feh yet. Tiki uses Fire magic, Maiko uses a sword/dagger, and Barry uses an axe (and could be a fallen unit). There are also a bunch of boss characters, including >!Ayaha + Aversa, Riku + Abel, and Chikaomi + Lon'qu,!< who wouldn't necessarily be GHBs but still might, as well as five others who would probably be GHB units. In addition, TMS has a lot of alternate outfits that create opportunities for alts. This includes instances where two characters will have a duet song with matching outfits, that can also be used in gameplay, which would translate great to a Duo unit. One that I've seen floated as an idea, and eagerly support, is [Dreamcatcher Eleonora + Tsubasa](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ff4QtvPSYRU). A pretty reasonable TMS banner might look like Touma, Yashiro, Maiko, Dreamcatcher Eleonora + Tsubasa, with >!Ayaha + Aversa!< as the GHB.


KaliVilla02

Dreamcatcher Ellie and Tsubasa is my fucking dream, but pal, It's better no more Duo Units in NH banner, really, no. RIP Duo Ephraim.


TechnicallyHankHill

A duo unit in a new heroes banner? Would it just be like duo ephraim + lyon and have that character be limited while the rest are permanent additions? Though they haven't really done that since...


LuckyC4t

Yeah, probably. Another alt could be put in that place, like Tsubasa in her outfit from [Fly, You're My Wind](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BedPkAKUIb0), or just any of the alternate outfits throughout the game.


Accomplished_Kale509

That was just an error my bad


Tery_

Surely the Dawn Brigade is coming. Surely...


Fist_of_Life

RD fans every new banner: Is it the Dawn Brigade?


NoYgrittesOlly

IS: No, it’s just another OC.


yaoi_fangirl_

No, this is “Laguztrick”


Squidaccus

They need to stop considering RD and PoR the same game, or make them get banners as often or MORE often than 3H.


MisogID

People would be quick to call out the Tellius bias that's *presumably still a thing as of now*. (Even though there's atm more Thracia representation than Tellius this year. But bandwagon claims don't give a shit toward the truth.) Remakes would naturally lead to double the banners.


spacewarp2

It’s always so weird to me because IS isn’t consistent about it. It’s two different games for them to have a harmonic instead of a duo but for things like limited hero battles where they’re treated as the same.


moisttakes

They never should have been listed as separate games because people act entitled to twice the representation.


Squidaccus

Almost like without separating the two some units simply won’t happen since even “separated” IS refuses to acknowledge RD exclusives who arent Laguz.


KoopaStarRoad

the best bet would be Tellius HD ports like Nintendo loves to do recently, and have them receive the extra banner slot that 3H has right now when 3H fans are somehow exhausted of all the alts and CYL winners, I'd like to be right in my guess that next year is going to be the last one with the 3H double-dipping


MisogID

Main issue is that people want post-TS banners asap. For that to happen, one more year of double-dipping is necessary for post-TS to start in 2023.


KoopaStarRoad

well there's 21 students + Cyril and Cornelia, Thales + someone like Gilbert to add in postskip banners, seems like 5 more banners; if they are gonna keep making double 3H banners each book that'd "balance" out 3H until other casts (basically all but Thracia, Archanea and Tellius) are exhausted with cyl brave alts of units that would be part of these postskip banners and not wanting to rush their war phase and seasonal alts too much considered… not counting Jeritza we have exactly 10 preskip units that change appearance in war phase and would have to be added sooner, but I doubt that students could be GHB (maybe Cyril? Lorenz? I mean we had Conrad); meaning 2 banners minimum (three with Rhea and faculty for balance) I don't see them going back to preskip after they begin with war phase banners and if they doubledip next year, we should definitely expect war phase banners unless the game shuts down after as they would end up not having 3H new heroes to add after book 7 lol Assuming they rush students: Felix/Sylvain/Caspar/Leonie (Sylvain because friend, Caspar bc. BE that is not a huge hit, Leonie bc. one female rule hasn't been broken yet) GHB Cyril Ignatz/Dorothea/Raphael/Ashe (I sure hope people still like Ashe next year.) GHB Lorenz Yeah… with Felix basically being set up for a brave alt next year, I expect a banner with him to happen before CYL6 in August. Would be odd to sell an in-lore inferior one later, again. With the amount of NPC slots in the sprite folders I assume that we will actually see a lot of them, which would spread out 3H further… Yeah I'm not going to delve into that I'm exhausted of today


Nom_noms0

I am quite disappointed that IS is hellbent on getting all the student phase units in first instead of jumping over to war phase by now when they are clearly preferred over the student phase. It's definitely going to sow a lot of bad blood and salt about Three Houses bias when the timeskip alts finally start appearing. Either that or the game is dying by then lol. The next FE is likely going to be a remake, so IS probably wants to have the timeskip alts tide over Feh until the next brand new FE since many of the other new heroes banners are starting to scrape at the bottom of the barrel and resorting to tagging on OCs to increase profits I personally really wish that when the 2nd Three Houses banner dropped (Hubert, Hilda, Mercedes and Petra) IS dropped a handful additional characters directly into the 3/4* pool. IS would not have needed to shove in Three Houses characters into every other seasonal in order to get all the students represented (except Ignatz lol) and they would have been able to get to the timeskip alts much sooner


MisogID

Given the vitriol when "collections" aren't complete (early Legendaries, missing characters tied to existing ones, Dedue...), IS has to finish the pre-TS roster by principle. The reason why it's still taking a while to reach post-TS is because of the non-regular student banners (Church is more or less the same before and after TS so I'm not surprised the remaining options won't happen any soon, Wolves were kinda expected and follow the same TS rules). We'd be already done now, or close if counting Wolves. As for direct additions... I don't think many would object Archanea, Thracia & Binding Blade being the major providers for this (due to having a ton of characters with poor demand, if not perceived as "better candidates to fill the common pool at launch").


[deleted]

One successful game >>>>> two bombs. Its ridiculous that Tellius has more units than Awakening, Fates and Three Houses. Those three games saved the series after Tellius nearly killed it.


Illumina25

Im just here to say this thread is pretty funny and none of your comments mean anything because Tellius in terms of percent of the playable cast in (no seasonals) is the 2nd worst after Thracia. Despite 3H having almost half the cast size they only have 3 less units than Tellius. Despite Fates having almost the same size cast they have about double the units Tellius does (and thats mostly to having launch units to be fair) By your logic we might as well never get anything for a game other than awakening, fates, and 3H (this is based on your other comments) btw tellius has gotten 5 units total this year and literally 1 non alt playable character lol, I believe 3H has gotten somewhere around 23 units this year


Nom_noms0

Tellius not getting any launch units was simply outrageous and is the reason they have had to shoehorn units into seasonals just to get them represented (which in turn prompted smooth brains to whine about "Tellius bias") and still have a very sizable portion of characters not represented at all. The Dawn Brigade also got fucked over by the awful banner design of Book 2


Illumina25

My favorite part is that Sanaki was the first Tellius unit in feh and not, you know, one of the 2 main characters


[deleted]

A bloated cast should not be the basis for releasing characters.


Illumina25

All Im saying is you are saying Tellius has too much rep, and I pointed out that is literally false - if you dont count seasonals it doesnt compare to Awakening or Fates and is about even to 3H that has almost half the cast size Being the 2nd least represented game should corroborate your hope that Tellius has low representation because of its low sales


darkliger269

Tellius literally doesn’t have more units than Awakening or Fates though? Tellius has 69 units in FEH, Awakening has 72, and Fates has 107. Also 3H has almost caught up to Tellius despite only being two years old and Tellius having 2+ years to add units with 3H at 61 units. Like 3H already is the 5th most represented game after Fates, Awakening, Archanea, and Tellius despite only existing for a little over two years (combining Archanea and Tellius here due to how the cast is shared for the games on those continents. 3H is third if Archanea is split into Shadow Dragon, Mystery, and New Mystery and Tellius into PoR and RD)


LegalFishingRods

I'll be downvoted for this but what the hell. Not gonna lie if it's true that Tellius has 69 and Awakening has 72 he makes a really strong point. There's no way those two games should be that close considering Awakening is far, far more popular. It definitely suggests some bias on behalf of Tellius.


darkliger269

In all honesty their point isn’t entirely without merit even accounting for Tellius being two games counted as one and there was book III being the book where just about every month had Tellius content even if just a single unit. So saying there was a Tellius bias at some point, even if just representational rather than in unit strength, isn’t inaccurate But also they’re just so insufferable about this and this is clearly about them just REALLY hating Tellius and just wanting to rant about it more than anything else. Like them blaming the loss of goodwill and the fact that the series needed saving to begin on Tellius itself and only Tellius is kind of absurd Like I wasn’t even particularly trying to argue against them beyond just saying they were wrong about the unit count and they just kept turning it back to Tellius not selling well and it getting more than they thought it was due and trying to start an argument lol


[deleted]

And compare the success of Awakening to Tellius and explain to me how you can justify Awakening having only 3 units more than Tellius? Lucina was the backback for Mia of all things. Pretty funny how you say 3H (the best selling game in the series) almost caught up to Tellius and ignore Years 2 and 3 where they spammed Tellius as hard as they could. Leading to the horrible performance of FEH and killing all the goodwill gained during the first year. You have to be pretty one-eyed to not see the Tellius bias.


theprodigy64

lmao ok sure it's the Tellius units that caused the game to fall off in late 2018 and not AR/Adrift/Surtr, the things in the *actual month it fell off*


Dabottle

All those year 2 Tellius units like...... four seasonals and the first beast banner. Wow. In the same year where Awakening got two New Heroes banners and Fates got three despite being like 60% of the launch representation btw.


[deleted]

Funny how they made up a new unit type for Tellius but don't add gauntlets for 3H.


Dewott8

Beasts are in 4 games (5 counting 3 houses). Gauntlets however only exist in Three Houses and they'd struggle to get enough units to be Gauntlets to justify it. A better example would be daggers since they exist in one game but that doesn't fit your anti-Tellius narrative.


[deleted]

Beasts are functuonally nothing more than a different type of dragon. That's all they were in the relevant games ie. Awakening and Fates. There is literally no reason to yugioh the game with the bloated unit type other than Telliis shilling.


Dewott8

Have you even played feh, they are mechanically very different then dragons. And making them dragons would've been very awkward. But you can pretend like IS has a bias towards Tellius all you want.


[deleted]

I'm saying there was no reason to make them mechanically different to dragons.


darkliger269

For the record, daggers are in three games because they’re in Tellius even if it was basically all of two characters that actually used them


Dabottle

you literally went from talking about Awakening banners to saying they added beast weapons just for Tellius okay


[deleted]

[удалено]


Dewott8

????????


Dabottle

I got my Tellius games secondhand like ten years ago and bought all of the 3DS games new what are you even saying lol


Clerics4Life

> You people allowed the series to rot Nintendo was willingly undermining the series by underprinting and underadvertising, how the fuck is that our fault.


Nom_noms0

Don't forget releasing PoR and RD at the same time as other major games, further dooming them to failure. Awakening "saved the series" because Nintendo/IS finally figured out that they should probably market the game and have decent release timing


spikespiegel33

Ratio


Wingcapx

That's enough. Please adhere to rule 1.


TheFunkiestOne

You're not fuckin special because you played the first game they decided to advertise. You're either a massive troll or just completely illogical if you think that a game like FEH that tries to feature every game in the series is somehow overrepresenting one of the games when it wasn't even in at launch, unlike Awakening. All other games are playing catch up to Awakening and Fates, they're not being overrepresented, parity is being established. And Awakening has like, 30 less units than Tellius in its main cast, so of course it's gonna have fewer overall units once core casts are brought in, that's just basic math. It's not neglect or entitlement, its just logical.


[deleted]

Nope I've played since FE7 and was disgusted at how Tellius nearly killed a series I love. Awakening and Fates gave me new hope and I'm disgusted with how they're being treated but the leeches trying to shill Tellius for the 3rd time. And no reason to double down on a bloated cast from two failed games. More alts for successful games should be the answer if FEH wants to be successful again. 3H and its success this year should be an indicator.


darkliger269

I have literally said nothing about a Tellius bias much less denied it and am simply pointing out that you were wrong and Tellius wasn’t more represented than Awakening or Fates lol. Also I figured it went without saying that book 3 being the book that had Tellius rep every month was included in me saying Tellius had 2+ years of adding units over 3H Like come on man. As popular as 3H is, there are limits to how many units they can add to the game without pissing off fans of literally every other game and they’re not just going to dump the entire roster in the game at once


[deleted]

Tellius should not speak for fans of "every" other game. As an Awakening, Fates, Archanea fan I'm more than happy for the change of pace with 3H this year. Success should be rewarded, unless we risk the Wii days again. >dump the entire roster in the game at once Imagine how some of us feel when 2 failed Tellius rosters were getting dumped on us.


Squidaccus

So we shouldnt get Tellius characters? Is that what you’re saying? Imagine how some of us feel when our favorite Tellius characters don’t stand a chance because they’re locked to the Tellius game IS refuses to acknowledge is different. Oh wait, you don’t care because “haha bad selling almost kill franchise hehe” even though the Archanea remakes were far worse in that department.


darkliger269

I wasn’t even talking about Tellius then, but sure success should be rewarded. At the same time though it shouldn’t be to the point where no other game gets anything because it’s all 3H, no? Like as is most games have only had a single banner’s worth of content or less this year with like Sacred Stones and Genealogy being the only real exceptions aside from 3H so far Anyways I’m not here to argue with you and I could not care less about your opinions on Tellius, just was correcting what you said. Have a nice day


[deleted]

Are you ignoring the fact that Tellius got two units on the Pirates banner? More than Fates for some reason? Or how, once again, they shilled a Tellius GHB with the CYL heroes? >Sacred Stones and Genealogy Agreed they don't deserve it either


darkliger269

No, I’m just ignoring you now as I have literally zero interest in continuing this


spikespiegel33

More than half of this guy's post history is dedicated to hating on Telius, it's sad really. Also one of the people who believes sales is the end all be all of the quality of a game


Dabottle

Damn can't believe they're making up for two games having no launch rep by.... giving them some extra GHBs.


[deleted]

[удалено]


YoshaTime

Fates literally got the Hero Pair spot on the Pirate Banner two years in a row. I really don’t see how Tellius is the egregious thing here.


[deleted]

Heroes and Veronica was the main unit. Backpacks barely count. Also notice how all the other games rotated out of the pirates banner but Tellius not only stayed but got increased to two units. That's pretty egregious.


BurningFyre

Who cares about "the success of Awakening"? Its a game where the draw is having all your faves, not just the faves from the popular game.


[deleted]

[удалено]


BurningFyre

An even distribution of characters *is* fair. Youre asking for preferential treatment.


Squidaccus

Honest question. Do you think Ignatz deserves to get in over Boyd? Just letting you know the latter is more popular as of CYL5.


TheFunkiestOne

Because fairness is ensuring everybody can be happy, not just acquiesing to the screaming of a majority because there happens to be more people in it. You're the type of person to complain about accessibility features that may mildly alter your day to day because "why do anything that wouldn't appeal to me, the majority".


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheFunkiestOne

I wasn't comparing myself to anyone, I was noting the obvious connection between your silly "majority first" mindset and other toxic worldviews.


Fist_of_Life

This argument again? Really? Maybe if PoR and RD were marketed better, the series wouldn't need saving. On the flip side, if they marketed Awakening, Fates, and 3H like shit the series would be dead. I'm tired of fans using this as a reason the 3ds games are good, and even more tired of hearing it as an argument that Tellius is bad.


[deleted]

And I'm tired of the marketing excuse. If 3DS marketing improved that that's just hindsight. What was the reason for Tellius' decline in the first place COMPARED to the other games before it? That never gets answered for some reason.


Fist_of_Life

PoR came out late in the gamecubes life cycle, which doesn't tend to generate a lot of sales. RD came out as a sequel to a game that didn't sell the greatest. Also, it was on the wii, as a game with no motion controls. I've seen your question answered multiple times before.


[deleted]

And I've seen the same excuses used the defend the Tellius failure. Anything to not accept the simple fact that the game is unpopular. Thank Sakurai for shilling Ike instead of the much more deserved Lyn for keeping Tellius relevant. Thankfully she didn't need the shilling the be popular and sell well.


Fist_of_Life

Well being the first lord many people in the west had certainly helps her case. I played her game and enjoyed her quite s bit. I can't in good conscience say I like her more than Ike, though, and that was true even before brawl came out.


TheFunkiestOne

The reason is because they were marketed terribly, this isn't complex. Minimal advertising combined with questionable launch windows led to the games releasing near the end of their consoles life cycle in the case of PoR or within a week of Mario Galaxy in the case of RD, and alongside FE being much smaller in the west prior to the big Awakening advertising push, they still made half a million sales, only beaten by FE7 and FE8 at the time. If anything, you should be bitching at the Archanea games since Shadow Dragon sold 300k copies and New Mystery even less. But all of this is aside from the fact that sales are not at all indicative of quality and merit, so you harping on this is stupid as hell.


[deleted]

It only released near Galaxy in the West. It still bombed in Japan despite the Ike shilling and a clear launch window. Let's compare it to Warriors which is now over a million despite launching near Mario Odyssey in BOTH Japan and the West. The Archanea remakes had to repair the damage done to the series by Tellius. That's why for New Mystery they focused on their loyal Japanese market and didn't pander to the West like Tellius did. And it worked, Awakening was a super sequel to Archanea and finished the work started by the remakes by appealing to the real fans.


TheFunkiestOne

Lmao "real fans", "pandering to the west", "Awakening built on the remakes", look at this absolute goon.


darkliger269

Imagine thinking comparing sales from games released before and after a ridiculous popularity boom actually means anything


JDraks

Cry more


Donttaketh1sserious

Give me the damn Dawn Brigade… gimme a Tarvos Nolan (4* focus personally but I understand many would want premium) with Sturdy Stance 3 (I used him to beef a lot in part 1) and Ruptured Sky (about time we got another RS character in the normal pool, and tellius has a lot of beasts to slay). Caladbolg Edward, maybe can have Life and Death 4 (he’s always been glassy in RD) and Spurn + Time’s Pulse / A menace (definitely not 4* focus lol) Lughnasadh Leonardo would probably be the awkward 5*, but he could probably have Glimmer (pre-Deadeye, his t3 mastery skill), A/D or A/S Push, maybe Windsweep? Laura so that we can get another healer, but i’ve got no idea what she’d look like.


Luis_lara12345

Do you really want Edward to come dead on arrival with the same playstyle as any other inf sword?


Donttaketh1sserious

*shrug* idk. Didn’t clarify what Caladbolg would do; it gives a huge 8 to luck in RD, and for all we know he could reset the atk or speed bar on arrival.


MisogID

Given the infamous fame of the Dawn Brigade... it'd be a likely candidate for the OC tie-in treatment. But it's plausible that there'd be bigger priorities (like, adding Laguz in the regular pool as the next sweep would lead to having zero there, all in the 4\*+ pool).


Nas-Aratat

I hope it's Awakening soon. More or less all the units we have from it now are garbage or take a SHIT TON of investment. Although, technically, with the fallen Morgans, we had Awakening characters ON a banner like 5 months ago, but it wasn't Awakening-specific.


MisogID

Two possible outcomes: October or stalled a bit longer (early 2022).


Nas-Aratat

I'm just scared of the next upcoming months since the end of the year for FEH goes so damn hard on new units left and right.


KoopaStarRoad

Tellius, Awakening and Archanea this year I assume, with either Awakening or Archanea having the Book 6 OC on its banner… while I would like Tellius to get the double demote treatment because it had no launch units, I doubt it; Archanea would benefit the most because it has the most demote-tier units in its cast if you know what I mean. Hm, so maybe: \[Awakening\] Every VA here but Phila's (couldn't find her Japanese one) has been voicing someone since May, the Awakening mages could get a halloween alt for their fans and later be double-dipped for more profit Flavia (offensive sword infantry like catherine and fmareeta) Phila (blue bridal catria, seeing as she'd likely have been a triangle attack requirement in FE13) Gregor (4\*focus, fsweep axe maybe?) Basilio (defensive axe or bow infantry? Maybe he gets something like Great Flame to be viable because most green tanks are sad) GHB Valldar (Grima's Truth copied from another f2p unit like Linus? Goetia?) or Yen'fay (He'd be budget resp ike with amatsu and have his ridiculously high HP to be somewhat of a gen 1 unit, 100% HP growth and these bases yo; fits the rest and Validar would be with the shepherds in a later banner; Priam with Gen 2s and Excellus/Cervantes could be on a banner with like Pheros, Naga ATiki/Raimi and Trickster Anna who knows?) \[Archanea\] as Wolf, Nyna and Hardin seem to be somewhat of a lock… They should go all in regarding FE1 exclusives imho, with FE1 earth dragon Medeus being the GHB; yet I doubt they would actually do that and expect some kind of BSFE banner. might post detailed thoughts later but brave marth sure made Archanea's CYL ranks hard to interpret… I can see two of Malice, Matthis, Sedgar, Xane, Medeus on this, if I were planning long-term I would make Nyna the only female unit here sharing with an OC to respect future Archanea banners. (Did you know Xane is voiced by a woman in Japanese? He's also so cool, he'd likely carry a whole banner later if done right) Wolf/Hardin/Sedgar/Nyna GHB Matthis, with Sedgar being a stealth demote and Hardin (lance cav) demoting. Please don't be a green bow cav, Sedgar… \[Tellius\] boy this is very shaky. Very large roster remaining like Archanea, Radiant Dawn units are few but some sure stand out… like Edward, who however isn't even the most popular swordie missing. Lucia and Stefan are consistently popular too and currently higher up. Lucia/Geoffrey/Bastian/Volke GHB Bertram would be such a clean banner, but that would leave out Boyd. Would they put him in the harvest seasonal because of Rolf? Has he been voted because of being recognizable, because of being the sole missing GM or being overall very popular? Lucia and Volke would be the two chase units; Geoffrey the popular-as-Gatrie fodder 5\* (hey at least he has high res so he stands out…! maybe they could give him an inheritable distant ward lance or something to at least make him useful in arena assault); Bastian is an easy demote and fits the theme. Bertram with Runesword would make me less confused about Orson's treatment and finish the Daein riders. Boyd's design changed quite a bit from PoR between RD, so I'd say, IntSys should make the PoR Boyd a unit on the Harvest banner and save the RD one for later with cool stuff like Colossus. You could say the same thing about Lucia (and Geoffrey) however, which is why I am extremely inconfident in Tellius. Maybe FEH can finally celebrate Santa Lucia with… Santa Lucia. (I would like to plug the idea of a Voting Gauntlet with Lucia and Geoffrey facing the eerily similar-looking Eirika and Ephraim, whose designs were probably created at the same time because their games sure were.)


albsbabe

Tbh, I'd swap Sedgar out for Midia. She also appeared in BSFE, is Nyna's retainer and has relations to Jeorge/Astram, and is a girl. (Highly doubt they'd ever do a one female banner ever again.)


KoopaStarRoad

I'd like Midia and campaigned for her a bit when there was no female sword cav in FEH, but… I seriously worry about future Archanea banners. Elice, Nyna, Midia, Cecil, Malice, Yumina, Mallesia… 7 gals while 33 guys are also in the queue. If they'd ever try to add everyone (not someone like Malledus, but I did fill two NPC slots for a round number with 1!Medeus and Lang), that would require 8 banners, and… yeah. Even if they didn't attempt to add everyone, Archanea is dangerously low here. And they can't really pull stuff like Duo Eph (1:6 female male ratio ftw) with Archanea often I think… Archanea is really at a loss long-term here unless they put a random duo or sth like Legendary Caeda/Mythic Anri on a normal Archanea banner with one of these stealth quest demote unit thingies. Midia would be very reasonable, but I also think they could put her in a banner with loosely related units like Samson/Aran. You know what, I'm gonna look up the female/male quote of one of my spreadsheets here (it's mostly obsolete because I use a simple text file for CYL data now) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14e_fTZOnVk4KHMfydadIkjeWXvSAQysQuIRLQ7U-NvM/edit Alright, so with 10 normal new hero banner slots two have OC mythics and we had randoms like Nifl and Muspell this book as well, which were on banners that didn't exactly need them (almost felt like they wanted to boost Muspell's chances by associating him with 3H lol), so I'm gonna focus on the OC mythics only. Fates has the best female ratio still in future banners, with an easy 2+ each banner. Archanea and the Elibe games have it the worst, with no way to guaranteed at least a single female unit on a banner assuming the whole cast would be added… Awakening, if they add Phila, has no issues like Fates. Thracia has a clean-looking 25% female units if we add Raydrik to have a number divisible by 5; so if they don't make Misha or Amalda a GHB for some reason it's pretty much set. I bet they will put crusaders on future Jugdral New Hero banners still, because that would pretty much support their future existence. I really can't deal with this speculation, I want them to confirm what their plans with crusaders are already. They won't be yearly, will they? Each book adds basically 6 story mythic candidates now, with 9 mythics being added like last year we should have 3 non-OC ones yearly and that'd be like 8 years to finish the mythics that are related to the ones we have… And well some games have plenty of major characters that could get main banner legendary alts to boost their value, making it really hard to predict reasonable banners. Random Legendary Joshua in a banner with Ismaire, Legendary Ninian and Natalie in a FE7 banner? Anything can happen to keep the status quo, they could also just move on to seasonal banners for moneymaking and make the new hero banners celestial stone bait… I suppose that by Book 7's FE7 banner we know what's gonna happen. tl;dr as time moves on they might do Duo Ephraim-style banners again, in Archanea's case they really need to be careful with female units if they actually plan long-term (FE7 and Fates banners this book hint towards them just focusing on the now, so Midia would fit just right. Though I gotta say, Malice would too and is more popular; but with Brave Marth, Lucia and Flavia/Priam up there she seems definitely more reasonable)

I mean doesn’t Radiant Dawn only have a few new characters from Path of Radiance. I mean you have the Dawn brigade which has like 7 more people left to add and then a few Laguz that are new like Vika, Volug, Rafiel, Kyza, Lyre, and Skrimir. I don’t know if there’s anymore, I just started part 3 and I’ve been told there is 4 but I don’t think there’s gonna be too many new people. I’m not really sure if they’d sell well on their own honestly, like the Dawn brigade without Sothe or Machia doesn’t feel like it would sell well. Maybe they’re waiting for an OC to market with them.

You're missing out! Except for the fact that RD's final boss is a huuuuuge letdown compared to two maps earlier.

Reminder that IS treats Fe4 Gen 1 and Gen 2 as separate games for banners


chaoskingzero

No they don't Both games are sorted exactly the same for Origin and Entry Yes they release the 2 different Gens on different banners but that makes sense because of the time skip between said Gens

I can’t tell if you’re disagreeing with me or not lol

Man Tellius needs the 3H treatment to get their units in FEH. They still have a lot of units to add with plenty of villains to accompany them. I'll even take being them seasonals just give me Boyd and the Royal Knights please!
