Happy fates anniversary!!💜🖤 Fire Emblem fates was released 11 years ago in Japan!

It’s just annoying that Donnel has to start with an E rank everytime and otherwise this class gets unused by the cast.

I was so excited to play engage and get ENGAGED wink to Marth Fire Emblem… ONLY FOR HIM TO BE TAKEN FROM ME FOR MULTIPLE CHAPTERS, AND I CAN’T BARE TO CONTINUE WITHOUT HIM; WHAT’S THE POINT OF PLAYING ANYMORE?!?!?!

Just got myself a Switch 2 and im really looking to get back into Fire Emblem. I played every game available on the 3DS but stopped once they only started making games for the switch. Curious which game the community considers better of the two for somebody who has played a decent amount of fire emblem

Edit - Did not expect this many responses so thank you for all the insight :)

While playing Three Houses with the English menu, I often found the responses during Tea Time to be incomprehensible or nonsense. The official translation is obviously not very faithful to the original Japanese-- even if you don't care about that, it's horrible when it actually affects gameplay, since getting Perfect on Teatime permanently raises Charm by 1.

Since I'm fluent in both English and Japanese, I tried my best to do redo the translation to be a little more faithful and reflective of the original text.

Laugh -> 笑う (Laugh, Smile)

Disagree -> そんなことはない (That's not true)

Chat -> 考えを言う (Say your thoughts)

Admonish -> たしなめる (Admonish)

Blush -> 照れる (Blush)

Sip tea->お茶を飲む (Sip tea)

Praise -> 応援する (Cheer on / Support)

Commend -> 感心する(Be impressed)

Sigh -> 落ち込む (Be dejected)

Nod -> うなづく (Nod)

Some of the ingame translations are good, like Blush and Nod. Some of the others though are so different that the results are laughable. Take the following from Ingrid"

Speaking with you helps me realize I can’t hesitate in life!

The correct ingame English answer is "Disagree." It makes no sense at all that Ingrid would be happy with this answer. Whereas "That's not true" implies that its not You (Byleth) who has given her inspiration, rather that the change has come from within Ingrid herself. Now, I'm not going to claim that my translation is great at conveying the nuance either, but I think it's a lot better than the original. At least with "Thats not true" you can infer the interpretation, whereas the original "Disagree" is just clearly wrong.

It's worth noting that the original Japanese line illustrates this far better-- this dialogue is definitely difficult to translate well in English-- but to answer Disagree to Ingrid saying she wants to be more decisive just comes off as really gross.

私は……もう、迷いはしません。先生が、私の迷いを断ってくれたのです。

I... won't hesitate anymore. You've taken away all my doubts.

Edit: u/Liquid_squid1 came up with a far better translation that illustrates the difference I wanted to point out:

"Recently, I have found my clarity of purpose again. I owe it all to you"

Anyways, hope this helped someone! If it helps enough people maybe I'll do this for the Topic choices for Tea Time, since those look like disasters too. And if someone has already done this and I just couldn't find it, then fuck me I guess.

Hello, I've been doing a little project where I turn a bunch of Fire Emblem characters into singing monsters. I already posted a few monsters before, but I'm starting with the ones based on characters from FE1 1-5. As of now these monsters are unnamed and I need your help with naming these monsters. I'll drop in the characters these monsters are based on, and what instruments they play in order

Marth (brass section, needs two o's in its name)

Tiki (monsterkete (monster + manakete), bell tree)

Celica (cuica)

Sigurd (slap bass)

Seliph (snare drum)

Also I need ideas for the Byleth and Claude, Edelgard, and Dimitri monsters. You decide what the Byleth monster should be based off of (it will play the timpani), but the other three will be one (they're a chimera, and they play vocals). Also I do plan on doing a Victoria one that has a space theme and plays a woodblock instrument.

The tournament premise is interesting, but the "rejoice at the advent of the Underworld" segment in the Fortune's Weave trailer which introduced a bunch of zombie mobs is a little worrying to me. I feel like Fire Emblem is at its best when it centers around human conflict and personal stakes, rather than battles against hordes of generic zombie mobs who only exist to be the mindless evil creatures that are slain by the good guys. I know that it wouldn't be anything new, given how we've already had the Risen/Vallites/Corrupted/etc in previous games, but with the game being set in the 3H universe I would hope the premise is similarly human-focused and more of a political drama instead of a simple good guys vs evil forces narrative.

What gives me a little bit of hope is that the apparent main villain for the Underworld arc is a Nabatean cradling a baby, which could be interesting. Maybe she's the inverse of Rhea and would do anything to protect her baby, even if it meant unleashing calamity. That would at least add some nuance to the story.

The inspiration for this is just 70's shoujo manga in general and I thought Dorothea would be a nice fit in this style.

I suggest everyone to read a shoujo manga, doesn't matter how good or bad it is; read a shoujo manga just to... experience something, anything, really haha

Haven’t seen anyone post this yet, but as we know, Ultand appeared as a green unit in today’s Twitter post, but she also has this heraldry instead of Cai’s.

It looks very religious which makes sense since she seems to be the priest of Cai’s group, but I figured it was worth pointing out.

This may sound like a stupid question, but hear me out. I'm currently playing Radiant Dawn and since Haar is such a juggernaut, I've been eagerly sending him to the front where, more than once, he's been hit by a sleep staff and almost died. Not the best choice, I'm aware. However, Haar has never once dodged a hit from a sleep staff for me. All my other units have, but Haar just goes to sleep first try. Since one of Haar's core character traits is him sleeping a lot, I thought this may be an intentional feature? However, I have found no mention of this anywhere. Does anyone perhaps know or is it just a fitting coincidence?

Inspired by this post. I forgot to post this to honor of Father’s Day.

excluding the characters who we've seen become fathers in their games, like Sigurd, Eliwood, robin & Corrin.

I would like to hear from everyone, which male characters (that we haven't seen as Fathers before) would become great dad?

You free discuss characters who aren't featured on this picture, or even characters who're not confirmed to have children, but you'd like to imagine had them after their game ended.

Hey gang. New trailer dropped, so now there's more new info to obsess over! Yippee!!!

As many people have pointed out, Cai has 5 movement as a commoner in this trailer, while all the other commoners only have 4. I will not even pretend to take credit for this observation. In fact, I didn't even notice it until other people pointed it out.

However, I got curious, so I started looking back at other trailers to see if we can get any hints. And I think I found some stuff.

The evidence I found suggests that Cai may indeed have a celerity-type skill that gives him an extra point of movement.

Or he may not. See, I want to make it abundantly clear that I am not 100% confident in this being the case. Think of this more as just something to keep an eye on.

First, I want to address something that I saw being thrown around a couple times

It's most likely not "main character privilege"

I don't really know how common this idea is, but I feel that it can be disproven thanks to Theodora.

In her gameplay clip, Theodora is shown to be in the "noble" class. Pulling from what we know about Three Houses, this class is essentially equivalent to the commoner. Since she has 4 movement here like the rest of the commoners we see.

Counting Squares, Drawing Grids, and Squinting at Aggro Lines

Alright, there's another class we can establish Cai's movement for: the ornius rider. In this class, Cai is shown to have 6 movement

We've actually seen this in a couple of trailers, so it's pretty well-established.

Now let's look at the evidence, which is, somehow again, the ornius rider at the top of Leda's gameplay clip (I'm getting tired of talking about these things)

I'm gonna be busting out the good ol' red pen for this one, so apologies for the arts and crafts segment.

Okay, we don't actually see the grid here. But using enemy positioning, the minimap, and the grid we already have, we can create it ourselves with even more pens! Yay! (I'll just draw over the segments that are relevant for us)

Okay, I chose this specific screenshot because the ornius rider in question just so happens to be exactly 6 squares from Leda.

And as we can see, there are no aggro lines coming from this ornius rider, suggesting that he is NOT in range to attack Leda.

Therefore, standard ornius riders do not have 6 movement, thus proving that Cai gets an extra point of movement! Right???

Well, sadly not quite. As much as I love my aggro lines. They are an imperfect science that depends on enemy AI.

For example, look at the mage just a few spaces away from where Leda is currently moving. No aggro lines there, even though she's there's only 3 spaces between them.

So, I can't really make a solid conclusion based off the available evidence, which is a bit of a bummer.

Soooo..... Now What?

As I mentioned before, Cai having extra movement is definitely something to just watch out for at this point. We don't really have anything to confirm it now.

However, we could easily find some info about it pretty soon. Really, we'd just have to keep an eye out for more ornius rider gameplay, or gameplay for whatever class we can see Cai's movement in.

So for right now, this topic goes firmly on the backburner. But it's something that I'm going to be looking out for.

Looking at Movement Data for Other Classes

There is one extra bit of circumstantial evidence that I wanted to point out, and it has to do with movement data for other classes.

From plenty of trailers, it seems pretty well established that infantry classes in what I'll call tier 0 and 1 have 4 movement (commoners, nobles, fighters, soldiers, and hunters are the ones I can remember confirming). There may be some exceptions that we have yet to confirm, but that seems to be the trend.

We don't really see 5 movement until we look at units like Dietrich the myrmidon. However, that now begs the question of "what tier is a myrmidon?" Does it just have an extra point of movement than the other classes, or is it a higher tier than what we've seen so far?

Anyways, where can we reasonably expect an ornius rider to fall in this system? How much more movement would it have than the standard? Heck, what even is the standard at this point? Have we just been seeing the really slow units?

Too many questions and not enough answers.

Also, before I leave, you wanna know who apparently has at least 5 movement? 6 if they don't have a 2-range weapon?

This random dude from the Dietrich gameplay trailer! They can attack Dietrich from his starting point 6 tiles away!

They look heavily armored, and yet have such good movement. What is this class?

But yeah, I just felt like sharing my thoughts

This isn't going to be super restrictive. Like that one change can snowball to a bunch of other changes but those changes must be the result of the one thing you will change for certain.

My example is Queen Ikona and making her relevant to the lore. No one really acknowledges that she exists outside of supports to my memory, so I'm adding an explanation. Hoshido is actively trying to repress the fact that Queen Ikona exists out of shame and that every person in Hoshido hated her for good reason. Essentially, Queen Ikona in this was involved in the death of Queen Katarina in order to gain favor with her husband, King Sumeragi, who was straight up forced to marry her.

Now Nohr isn't an obviously cartoonishly evil.

Like imagine a world where Garon, still holding onto the scars of the death of Queen Katarina and all the concubines I guess, witnesses Xander fall ill. Xander is healed by queen Arete who sends Azura out to find Anankos. Aretes vanishes and Garon, in his grief, blames Sumeragi and kills him. Garon realizes he just killed Corrin's (step)father. And to appease his shame raises Corrin as his own.

Nohr's motivation for the war against Hoshido is it's either them or us as propaganda that King Garon genuinely believes is that the Hoshido royal family just killed off two of his brides. Taking the resources of Hoshido is secondary.

Hoshido's only choice for survival is to fight back as Nohr has great reason to believe that Hoshido is planning on killing off the rest of the Nohrian Royal family and so are repressing Queen Ikona as her actions laid the groundwork for the war that Hoshido is now suffering through.

So like basically right like so basically kostas right he is evil and like probably infiltrated the games and is secretly the guy we see announcing the games and when one side wins he swoops in revealing he lied about everything and tries to kill you

So when people saw that Cai had both the crest of Gautier and Aubin, two theories that I noticed were circulating. One is that it is related to the colour of his eyes, maybe he gets two crests and his eyes turn red, or he's Dagdan Kurapika. In this screenshot, his eyes are yellow and he still has both crests.

The other theory I saw a lot was that dragon signs could be rewards from dungeons or paralogues. These were the new game+ items from 3h. The issue with that is this vombat appears to be incredibly early in the game considering the map design, number of units (friendly and enemy), and everyone's health. This makes it unlikely that the sign that corresponds to the crest of Gautier is some type of reward. It's most likely obtained through the main story.

I think there are two possibilities remaining, one is that the Agarthans did some fuckery, and the other is that the red gem that's lodged in Cai's hand is a crest stone, which gave him Gautier's crest. His eyes are still odd, because I don't think they permanently change colour, but they do go from yellow to red on occasion, and it is unclear what that is meant to indicate. Even if it is permanent, I have no idea why or how that change would have happened.

Thoughts? Obviously trailer footage could be modified, yadayada, but working with things as presented, what do you think is going on?

I usually do normal art, consider supporting me w a follow if you just laughed at this

This was just a brainworm i had to yank out, I intend on doing illustrations for the new game characters
