Confirmed is Marth, Chrom, Lucina, MRobin, Fred, Lissa, FCorrin, Ryoma and Xander plus shitty OCs and the ones in SoS' post. MCorrin is probably a deadcert and I'd honestly be surprised if Ike at least didn't make it in because if we're going for popular characters then they might as well put in one of the seven that's actually in a somewhat well-known cross-franchise game like smash bros. Maybe the same for Roy but eh he's more generic than the minion units so people probably don't care.

Also I think Tiki was softconfirmed at E3.

He probably will be: They will almost certainly add an archer and the only noteworthy archers of the games are Taco, Jeorge and maybe Gordin. Possibly Virion, but it'll be noteworthy archers because they'll probably only bother with like three at most (flier/cav/infantry), and they're the only noteworthy archers of the games. Hell they're probably the only noteworthy archers of the series if you tack Innes on there.

...Maybe? As far as I'm aware he's the only canon magecav of those games, and certainly the only notable person of the class. The alternative is that we could get Dark Knight Henry though.

Leon the archer from Echoes, not Leo the Dark Knight from Fates, you spoon.

Reveal trailer showed Brynhildr and the Fujin Yumi so Takumi and Leo are pretty likely to make it in.

I've seen fuckers spell it both ways. Also I forgot there was someone in SoV called Leon, it's really not a memorable roster. Or game for that matter.

SoV already got benched from the base game iirc, so if anyone from there's in it's probably just Celica as DLC because Alm's crappy and boring and there's really very little chance of non-main lord charries when it comes to the DLCs. Maybe some alt-skins but that's a push at best.

I'm pretty sure Alm is the more popular of the two among the fandom. He's certainly considered a better unit.

Also I thought the cast was pretty memorable. They felt more unique and real to me than a lot of the cast of its immediate predecessors.

Alm's probably more popular but he's also harder to make into a unique unit. Celica's niche of foot-based spellsword is still a rarity: the only other unit with that access is Robin and they're already focusing him/her as a mage. Alm's just another sword lord. How would he differ from Chrom in anything other than aesthetics? The whole ratification of 'just 11/13/14' was to cut down on having a bunch of similar sword users.

Also Leo's jap name is Leon and I'm used to that side of the fandom. Thought people were talking about notable characters not Generic Scrub #34 from Shitshows.

I did though. And I regretted it. Most of the time was spent abusing the dumbassery that was SoV's magic ranges, and the rest was wishing I'd skipped the supports, which were as predictable and boring as you'd expect from a 3DS Fire Emblem title. The only mercy with them was that there were thankfully less of them than there are in most games. The game barely makes you care about Alm and Celica, never mind the rest of the units.

No, I do like Fire Emblem. I just don't like any of the characters in the games and the supports and shit definitely don't help it any. You could give me the exact same game mechanics with a bunch of generic grunt units and it'd be a vast improvement.

...so you'd rather have generic units and not characters with unique personalities? Okay then

The issue with 'unique characters' is that they're typically generic or literally defined by no more than three short bullet points. When they're that flat and uninteresting I'd rather they didn't bother.

And now we play the good ol' fashioned 'Is SD just Marth or will IntSys remember there were other units in there?' game. Thing the smart money's on the former.

Charry stuff in the spoiler because some people are knobshites about this and I can't be arsed to argue
Spoiler: show
Wonder if Hinoka's just a Cordy alt or vice versa. I don't know how different they can make them...

Also looks like FRobin got confirmed as not a full character, judging by the presence of everyone but her in that trailer. Alt costumes ahoy...

I started playing FE7! I figured a good place to start for my first non-3DS Fire Emblem game would be the first one released in the West. Having a good time with it so far, have completed the first six chapters. I have yet to get a strength boost on Lyn though lol.

Lyn has poor strength growth, but easily makes up for it with her strong skill, speed, and unique sword.

That sadly doesn't make up for Lyn's foot and sword lock, and completely lackluster promotion. I love Lyn, but she is really not that good without a fair amount of effort.

Said effort could be put into a unit like Sain or Florina and make them bonkers.

I always level up lords because you're forced to select them. If you're going to show up for a battle, you may as well be useful!
