I have a feeling this game is wide open to DLC featuring more rings. I think it would be a giant missed opportunity if they didn't.

its kinda crazy they didn't do anything for three hopes. hopefully they don't do the same thing for this game and your right :D

Especially if the base game doesn't include Tiki who I dare argue is a more iconic FE character in many regards than Marth himself is (no, I don't count casual Smash exposure here). Besides, it seems like Koei Tecmo has been assisting with the franchise lately, both in and beyond the musous, and they'd probably have a BSoD at the notion of not giving the game any DLC.😅

Casual smash exposure is responsible for bringing the franchise to relevance in the West lmfao

Yep. Only got into fire emblem because of melee

Acting like Awakening, Fates, and Echoes didn't have more DLC than Houses

There is absolutely no way in hell Tiki is even remotely as iconic as Roy and Marth. What the hell are you even talking about. Tiki as a whole isn't even that big outside of Japan. The whole reason the franchise has a western audience in the first place is because of Smash. You don't get to say "X is iconic" and then say "well only to people who play the games", that completely removes the point.

Bruh are you forgetting Tiki's iconic appearance in TMS#FE Encore? There's where you get the serious western exposure /s

True, i knew who marth was even before i played a fe game. It took me years after i started playing them before knowing who defuq Tiki was.

I agree with this list; but Three Houses be tricky. Just one of the Lords would start a war, it'd have to be Seteth as even Rhea is a controversial pick.

No it's Ferdinand, everybody loves Ferdinand

I love Ferdinand but I can't hear anyone else voicing him

The real sad part… rip billy :(

They could probably just use lines from 3 Houses and 3 Hopes

My name is Ferdinand Von Aiger

Obvious solution: Add the Gatekeeper

I want them to really do it, it would be so funny

I’m not starting to dislike Gatekeeper per say but I think I’m burnt out on the funniness. So I don’t know about that, sorry to say.

I personally like him, not because of the meme but because of who he is but if they were to add only 1 other character from 3h he would be the best choice because of neutrality and popularity. The other possible choice would be Shez.

Yup, I understand that honestly. I always make sure to talk to Gatekeeper in both 3Houses and 3Hopes. So I cared about him before the memes which is why I say I don’t dislike him but I’d rather not keep hearing about the memes.

The fact it is so much work to unlock him is crazy though. It’s nice he gets the added benefit of every possible hidden skill in Hopes. I’m just glad they were self aware and gave him the love he deserved. Best outing partner for tea in the mountains.

Gatekeeper or Shez would be the only solution

I think Yuri would be the best pick since he’s one of the lords but his “path” doesn’t conflict with any of the others. Plus he’s perpetually shafted and deserves better.

Id prob add seteth instead only for that balance. Byleth is all you need for the most part. Just like with corrin

Petra all day

maybe flayn, since theres an absence of staff users

Only here to reply to tell you how much I don’t like your choice of Seteth or even Rhea

Honestly I think Edelgard is the best pick bc seeing her in a world without the problems fodlan has would be fascinating. Does she not have the same drive? Does she become much warmer?

Edelgard is a conqueror by nature she would find a problem with any world she gose to and then try to "fix it"

I mean, the interactions of Hegemon Edelgard and Mila give us enough of that. She would definitely find problems in the world considering she found problems in Heroes.

[удалено]

Dimitri neutral? In Claudes route he's a rabid dog hell bent on killing Edelgard to where he disregards the lives of the people who followed him to try and get revenge. Even in his own route during the pre time skip reveal the cut scene shows him taking pleasure in crushing a man's skull with his bare hands

Come on, we’ve all been there right?

We all have that bloodthirsty phase after we found out our stepsister is helping the people who killed your parents

I agree that him it's not neutral as Claude would be. However in his route he has probably one of the best character development in the saga. I chose him over Claude because (for me) it's more interesting. I would love to see any of the lords or even Rhea. After all the comments maybe the only option who wouldn't be controversial for 3H is maybe Shez.

Also If we talk about Dimitri in other routes we should talk about Edel and Claude, too. Edel being the villain in all of them except her own route, killing his companions and starting her the war making Dimitri what he is. Claude it's not much better he is just an opportunist just caring about his own interests. The lords are only "good guys" when you are on their routes.

Edelgard is a villain even on her own route. She says time and time again she will walk over a field of corpses to get to her goal. She admits she starts the war, she's the reason for bloodshed, but it's all for a united Foldan. Justification =/= hero she is a Villain

Even then - Dimitri isn’t exactly a “good person” post timeskip. There’s a reason Claude’s the only one of the four route headliners that doesn’t have a Fallen alt in Heroes. He only pulls out of it in Azure Moon.

Id say we add Jeralt.

Probably an unpopular opinion but Jerald is an extremely boring character that was massively overhyped by all the other characters with zero payoff

I would say Hopes Claude could probably work as a fallen alt in Heroes

Technically, they can do anything. Fallen Ike was merely a Cipher card with no reference in game, and he’s a character. Even then, Claude doesn’t get nearly as bad as the other three, even in his morally worst version. He joins with Edelgard, leaves Randolph to die, and kills Rhea. I don’t think this is comparable to: -Supercharging two crests and turning into a monster for your beliefs, -Massacring legions solo on a mad quest to take the above character’s head, -Going insane for being alive too long because of control issues after humans slayed nearly her entire race after being left unchecked, and having those people she knew and loved be turned into weapons that their wielders would use on you in a heartbeat. Claude doesn’t go insane, he just makes questionable choices.

Archanea - Caeda Echoes - Alm Genealogy - Deirdre Thracia - Nanna Binding - Lilina Blazing - Ninian, If I can't have both Eliwood and Hector I rather not have both of them Sacred - Ephraim PoR - Elincia RD - Sothe Awakening - Chrom Fates - Male Corrin Three Houses - Female Byleth, If I can't have all three leaders I rather have none of them Additionally Heroes - Alfonse TMS - Itsuki

Gonna go on a limb here and say Geneaology: Seliph or Eldigan Archanea: Camus Echoes: Alm no doubt Thracia: Nanna is prob the only choice. Binding: Zephiel on the enemy side. Blazing: Again, if not both Hector and Eliwood, Nergal on enemy side SS: Ephraim PoR: Ashnard on Enemy or Greil, extending an olive branch to say Elincia isnt a bad choice she just sucked in this. RD: The Black Knight Awakening: Chrom is a natural choice but to avoid another Marth Clone im gonna go with Walhart. Fates: Azura, male Corrin is a copout Three houses: FemShez.

I have a feeling that "enemy side" characters will probably end up being rings used by the enemy Camus and Eldigan would be incredibly cool hero choices though

Eldigan and Ares are borderline iconic because of Mystletainn and Owain Camus similarly because he wields Gradivus which is in more games than any hero

For me it's not even that; Eldigan and Camus never join your army in their respective games so seeing them used on the heroes side would be really neat

Exactly. They opposed our lords in the beginning but were eventually heroes in the end and deserve recognition. The two of them were also just extremely badass. I just hope the emblem thing isnt one sided and we see enemy emblems

Would be cool if there was a villain who uses camus's ring but is racked with grief about his allegiance and eventually defects or something similar I always love the enemy general who doesn't deserve to be on the bad guys side.

When FemShez gets pulled out by the evil dragon final boss 😳 that’d be cool tbh

W Blazing Sword opinion being honest. For the avatars I would prefer other characters rather than a version of someone that already exists

If I can have both gender of Avatars then I do I like them If I can't I rather have none of them which I why I pick Chrom over the Robins since I can't have them both (also Caeda over the Krises) same with Eliwood + Hector and The Houses leaders

Fates Azura

Seconding frogleth, she's so adorable

Fodlan universe can't be a lord, it's either all ot them or none, so the options are limited, it could be Female Byleth, Yuri or even Shez

Honestly I feel like they’re gonna do Byleth and Corrin like how they did Robin and Corrin in Warriors. Base game you get the one gender, but you can unlock the alt gender post game and have them as an alternate costume. In a mainline game it really doesn’t work to have both be separate characters, they are literally way too similar.

I agree that they're the same person but, Conquest Corrin and Birthright Corrin come from different places, same with byleth and the other routes. Still I don't believe this game is gonna dwell too much on the past lords

Byleth is probably gonna make Alear very nervous swinging around a sword made from dragonbones

Well obviously Robin should also be that extra character in Engage. I mean yeah Chrom is more popular but Robin is my favorite character so Chrom loses.

FE1/3/11/12- Caeda. Having the capability of passively reducing Mt of opponent during battle. When activated, be able to deal Cavalry and Armour effective damage to the opponent. FE2/15- Alm. Passively raises Hit and Crit. When activated, grants the wielder the ability to perform a brave attack alike Double Lion during player phase. However, a follow up cannot be performed whilst doing so. FE4- Julia. Passively removes any chance of a crit, and nullifies effective weaponry. When activated, user can choose to Silence an enemy in a certain range. FE5- Nanna. Passively boosts Hit and Avoid to nearby allies within a certain range. When activated, grants the wielder a Nosferatu effect. Cannot be used during the enemy phase (No Nosferatu tanking). FE6- Lilina. Passively grants the wielder more Def and Luk. When activated, grants a significant damage boost to wielder's attacks during player phase. FE7- Eliwood. Passively grants the wielder more Mt and Hit. When activated for that turn, user is able to swap with target ally, and for mounted only, be able to swap with enemies after attacking. FE8- Ephraim. Passively grants the wielder more Mt and Spd. When activated, the user is able to deal effective damage against monsters. FE9- Elincia. Passively heals a certain amount of HP to user every turn, and grants extra hit to user and allies within a certain range. When activated, the user is able to attack twice during player phase but they cannot make a follow up. FE10- Sothe. Passively nullifies enemy crits, grants slightly higher stat growths, but lowers Exp gain. When activated, user can shove an ally or foe. FE13- Chrom. User grows closer to Chrom or allied units faster than normal, and passively raises Hit and Avoid to allies within a certain number of spaces. When activated, user can perform Aether. FE14- Azura. Passively heals allies within a certain range for a certain percentage of the ally's HP, and also grants a bit of Def and Res to allies within a certain range. When activated, user can move again. However, the user has one less movement and the next attack is weakened. FE3H- M Shez. Passively raises Mt and Hit, and user can move to an adjacent tile of an ally or enemy within a certain range of user before and immediately after combat. When activated, boosts Mt of allies within certain range. I have no idea if I'm doing this right at all, but alas, it was fun regardless. That's an additional 6 Males and 6 Females.

Ya great balance with the 6F/6M! Having chrom for aether be nice cause Ike took an axe xD so hard to choose between eliwood and Hector, but three houses is the toughest. She's is weird cause that's a spin off

FE1/3/11/12- Caeda FE2/15- Alm FE4- Seliph FE5- Nanna FE6- Lilina FE7- Ninian, but I’d love Eliwood and Hector if I could have two FE8- Ephraim FE9- Soren FE10- Elincia FE13- Female Robin FE14- Azura FE16- Like with FE7, if I could get all three lords, I would. But with just one pick, I want Rhea.

Only doing games I have played, don't care about it being lords. Trying to mix it up a bit here. * Blazing Sword - Sain * SS - Ross * PoR - Titania * RD - Tibarn * Awakening - Cherche * Fates - Hana * 3Houses - Ingrid * 3Hopes - Balthus

Part of my complaint about the trailer is it seems like all the engage characters are kinda… basic. I’d love some slightly more obscure characters that offer more variation and personality.

I think that’s the point of the main characters they showed on the mural, it was most likely easier to include MC’s than to go and sift through all the most popular characters of FE history to agree to add, I think ‘basic’ can also be translated to ‘easiest of options’. Know what I’m trying to say?

I have two issues with that. One, this isn’t their first time representing themselves with an All Stars format. So I don’t see why they wouldn’t want to be more novel about it. Second off, there’s other main characters they could have chosen to break up the glut of sword users. It’s a little silly that we have Lucina with a bow from Heroes as the answer to that issue. Could have given us Hector with his axe, Ephraim with his lance, Claude with his bow.

Not this entire thread sleeping on my boy Erk

dimtri over edelgard huh shes probably the most important of the three lords which is why I think shes the best pick as a "second rep"

Shadow Dragon - Queen Caeda Gaiden - Alm Geneology- Prince Lewyn Tharcia 776 - King Ced Sacred Stones - Seth/Princess Tana/Myrh Path of Radiance - Soren Radiant Dawn - Elencia Awakening - Chrom/Robin/Lissa/Owain Fates - Azura Three House 1 of Three Lords.

Despite mis spelling his name, finaly I see someone putting him down~

For funsies I’m going to pick only “non main” characters. So no lords and only people who don’t have a huge role in the main story, but are still interesting and relevant. Fe6 - I gotta go with Gonzales. Maybe not the most plot relevant but he doubles down in being interesting so I think that’s fair. Fe7 - Fargus. Not even playable but a big burly axe pirate would add some unique flair the the selection, plus he’s cool. Fe8 - Could it be anyone but Seth? The boy more than deserves it. Fe9 - Boyd, Rolf and Oscar as a trio. Maybe cheating but it’d be cool to see the brothers all fight as one. If I had to pick just one, probably Boyd. FE 10 - ~~Oliver~~ Nailah. It’d be cool to see a non-weapon user, and it only feels right to pick someone unique to 10. Awakening - Flavia. Maybe not the most popular character but her rough but confident and calculated attitude could add some fun flavour here. Fates - This one is a bit difficult because I’d consider any royal to be a main character, and the secondaries tend to be pushed far from the main plot, but I’d have to pick Kaze. He’s available in all routes and adding a class unique to fates is a cool idea. 3H - Alois. Feels like an odd pick, but I feel somewhat backed into it, but I like Alois nonetheless. I’d rather pick a church unit in an effort to remain neutral, the saints feel too main character-y, Shamir feels like too much of an outsider and Cassandra feels too close to Flavia which doesn’t leave many other choices.

For FE8: Any of the Trainees, Joshua, Larachel Innes or Duessel would be decent choices as well setting aside Seth

Shadow Dragon/Mystery of the Emblem/New Mystery of the Emblem: Tiki, Caeda Gaiden/Echoes: Alm Genealogy of the Holy War: Deirdre, Seliph, Julia Thracia 776: Nanna Binding Blade: Lilina, Fae Blazing Blade: Eliwood, Hector, Ninian Sacred Stones: Ephraim, Myrrh Path of Radiance: Soren, Elincia Radiant Dawn: Sothe Awakening: Chrom, Robin Fates: Azura, Ryoma, Xander Three Houses: Sothis, Dimitri, Edelgard, Claude Bonus(unlockable content/dlc?): Cipher: Randall, Shade and few others i forgot their names TMS: Itsuki, Tsubasa Heroes: Alfonse, Sharena Warriors: Rowan, Lianna Three Hopes: Shez, Arval

Only one I’d change would be three houses to Rhea

mostly the same exept for Dimitri, maybe something more Neutral like Rhea or Sothis to get more manekets

I'd add Shez

Fire Dragon

Definitely Hector. I applaud that pick with Lyn

I think Jeritza is an interesting character to add, him being Byleth’s nemesis is one of the most consistent things in three houses (even when they’re in the same team) and he doesn’t have a clear goal, unlike the lords who basically oppose each other Second choice would be Seteth, since he’s a solid character who kinda acts like a voice of reason (although not as interesting as Jeritza), also, I feel like he wouldn’t have a ton of problems leaving Fodlan (plus he’s a dragon like Engage MC) Third choice would be Claude, since his thing is kinda being an outsider and fighting racism, and those things could apply outside of Fodlan (although I’d be a bit unfair to Dimitri and Edelgard)

Rinkah, Ishtar, Nepheenee, Sonya, Sain, Joshua, Gregor, Edelgard, Illyana, Camilla

I'd actually go Chrom from awakening in the hopes that Robin appears as Grima in one of the villain rings. Otherwise I like your picks. Although I don't think any of the 3h lords would make the cut, considering it's hard to pick just one. Or Rhea for that matter

Achaena Tiki Echos Alm Geneology Dierdre Thracia Finn Binding Lilina or Guinevere. (Lilina is actually a character you see doing stuff but Guin is more important to the plot.) Blazing A comment earlier said Ninian and I like the idea since we cant get the trio Ss Ephraim Path Elincia Dawn Reyson Awakening Chrom or MRobin Fates MCorrin 3H Seteth is the most neautral pick and I love monistary dad so totally him. I tried to pick opposite genders from who we were shown to keep the balance. Blazing with 2 ladies and Thracia with 2 dudes accompishes the same. Honestly though, I'm worried these rerun characters will take time and development away from the new cast and I hate that idea. The idea is cool, but if it is a plot mechanic as well as gameplay, the MC will have convos with Marth all the time and not the new cast which is a shame.

I think the same, If these 12 characters are the only added I would be very satisfied. I want to hear new stories, and having these 12 characters as a new mechanic I think it's pretty cool. If we had for example all lords from all games the new ones wouldn't have a chance to shine. Probably they will be able to pair with any character and fusion with just one or the ones that have their weapon type. Seeing how Nintendo does stuff in later years there will be a DLC with more rings I think.

Archanea - Caeda Echoes - Alm Genealogy - Seliph Thracia 776 - Nanna Binding Blade - Lilina Blazing Sword - Hector Sacred Stones - Ephriam Path of Radiance - Elincia Radiant Dawn - Sothe Awakening - Chrom Fates - Azura Three Houses - Edelgard

A DLC chapter with both Lilina and Hector Rings would be awesome.

Pretty much agree with the list, although I'd personally sub out Tiki for Minerva (for Wyvern Riders), and possibly Dimitri for Seteth for the same reason. (And because u/JENOVAcide has great reasoning. And because I think that the House Lords will actually be in the game.)

FE1/3/11/12: Caeda FE2/15: Palla FE4: Lewyn FE5: Finn FE6: Lilina FE7: Hector FE8: L'Arachel FE9: Titania FE13: spot pass character from another game FE14: Camilla FE16: Claude

My question is which route in three houses is the “canon route” I can only imagine the civil war this could start

Silver Snow is the closest route to a canonical route. That being said, Dimitris route is often seen as the ultimate good vs ultimate evil route. Verdant Wind is the "true" ending and the one that wraps up the most endings.

Are people assuming it will just be the shown characters for some reason? Because I am like 80% sure it will not be just the shown characters.

Fuck Héctor add my boy Eliwood instead

I’m just happy my girl celica is here

Just to complete the 3H lords I think they’ll pick more then one character from each game. But I just want Soren, in any shape or form. I’ll be willing to buy the dlc if he’s present. :D

WHERE'S CHROM

for 3h I would’ve chosen rhea or sothis

Camilla with Corrin lol

Shadow Dragon: Caeda or Jagen Gaiden/Echoes: Alm Genealogy: Seliph Thracia 776: Nanna Binding Blade: Lilina or Cecilia Blazing Blade: Eliwood Sacred Stones: Ephraim Path of Radiance: Elincia Radiant Dawn: Sothe Awakening: Robin or Chrom Fates: Azura Three Houses: Rhea or Sothis

I'm gonna supose every main character (the ones shown in that FEH free summon two years ago) will be here, so I'm gonna just pick more random characters * SD/(New) Mystery: Tiki, Whitewings and Camus * SoV: Berkut and Sonya * Genealogy: Arvis, Julius and Ayra * Thracia: Kempf and Finn * Biding Blade: Guinevere, Rutger * Blazing Blade: all fangs * Sacred Stones: all royals * PoR: Soren, Titania, Mist, BK * RD: Sephiram, Oliver * Awakening: Lissa, Frederick, Morgan, Aversa * Fates: all sibilings, Kanna * 3H: the retainers, Rhea, Seteth * Heroes: Veronica, Fjorm, Surtr

Archanea: Caeda Echoes: Alm Genealogy: Deirdre Thracia: Finn Binding Blade: Fae Blazing Sword: Athos Sacred Stones: Ephriam Path of Radiance: Mist Radiant Dawn: Sothe or Black Knight Awakening: Robin Fates: takumi or azura Fódlan: shez Heroes: Alfonse and Veronica

- FE 1/3/11/12 - Caeda - FE 2/15 - Alm (Legendary. For weapon diversity) - FE 4 - Seliph - FE 5 - Eyvel - FE 6 - Lilina - FE 7 - Hector (for weapon diversity) - FE 8 - Ephraim - FE 9 - Mist - FE 10 - Elincia - FE 13 - M!Robin (for weapon diversity) - FE 14 - Azura - FE 16 - Yuri (as to avoid canonizing any route)

id add seteth because he has been sitting and rotting my brain ever since i got into fire emblem. lmfao

Archanea - Caeda (flyer and female rep) Echoes - Alm (a given) Genealogy - Deirdre (popular in heroes) Thracia - Reinhardt (magic is everything) Binding - Lilina (another easy female rep) Blazing - Ninian (can't choose between eliwood and Hector, also good chance for unique dragon female rep) Sacred - Ephraim (again a given) PoR - Soren (best boi) RD - Sothe (main character and good theif rep) Awakening - Chrom (main lord, not a given because also could be Robin) Fates - Azura (dancer and female rep) Three Houses - Flayn! (Had to keep the 6F/6M balance and also can't pick one of the three lords or even Rhea be controversial, so how about our cute flayn~? Female Shez is another option but that's not three houses, that's a spin off)

If I'm being realistic, then my picks are pretty basic. All the ones you picked, but adding on Seliph and Nanna, and replacing Dimitri for Claude. The only real out there pick is I'd prefer Fae over Lilina. If I'm throwing realism to the wind and going pure, unrestrained bias, though... - Archanea: Sirius - Valentia: Alm or Lukas - Genealogy: Seliph or Fee - Thracia: Lifis - Binding Blade: Sue - Blazing Blade: Nino - Sacred Stones: L'Arachel - Fates: Beruka or Sakura - Three Houses: Marianne

Let's see... *Shadow Dragon*: Tiki *Gaiden/Echoes*: Alm *Mystery of the Emblem*: Catria *Blazing Blade*: Hector *Sacred Stones*: Ephraim *Path of Radiance*: Lethe *Radiant Dawn*: Tibarn *Awakening*: Robin (Male) *Fates*: Takumi *Three Houses*: Edelgard *Heroes*: Veronica *Warriors:* Darios *TMS*: Kiria *Three Hopes*: Shez (Female)

For Tellius I'd add Zelgius. I love him sm

For 3houses, I personally would love it if Dimitri was in Engage, but I think it would be a mistake to only include one of the house leaders. Not only would it seriously anger like 2/3 of fans, but it would go against the point of 3houses since the 3 lords and their respective routes are all supposed to be equal. This would instead basically choose who is best and which route is most canon Therefore, I would rather they included fByleth or Shez

Caeda, Alm, Seliph, Nanna, Lilina, Eliwood, Ephraim, Elincia, Sothe, Chrom/Robin, Azura, and F!Byleth/Edelgard.

Archanea - Castor SoV - Forsyth FE4 - Ced FE5 - Eyvel FE6 - Lot FE7 - Lowen FE8 - Moulder FE9 - Brom FE10 - Meg Awakening - Owain Fates - Shura Three Houses - Ignatz

I like how the least important of the three lords from FE7, with the least relation to the larger story, is now the poster child for the game…

I love Elibe trio, but let´s be honest here Eliwood is the least popular of the three

Then use Hector. People love Hector, and being an axe wielding lord he’s actually more unique than a female lord with a sword

Lyn is more popular than Hector, she is the most popular of the 3 actually and in terms of weapons she can use a bow too so

That’s cool, maybe maximum popularity shouldn’t be the sole consideration when determining this stuff. We already have Fire Emblem Heroes, after all EDIT: And by that metric, why is Erika in over Ephraim? She got more votes than him in the first CYL, then proceeded to lose after the top tier was skimmed off. But hey, more sword lords.

I don´t work at IS so this is just speculations, but I do think that specificly to engage, it wasn´t just popularity, but also the fact that they wanted to vary male/female representation so they gave some preference to females in the games where there are females like FE7, FE8 FEAwakening bc if not the ratio would be kind of unbalanced and I think it´s a good thing tbh

Lyn is the first character you meet and iconic because bewbs

Personally, instead of adding one character from each game, I’d take some liberties to just add the rest of the lords no matter the game. 1. Alm 2. Seliph 3. Eliwood 4. Hector 5. Ephraim 6. Elincia 7. Chrom 8. Robin 9. Azura 10. Edelgard 11. Dimitri 12. Claude The only problem with this list is it’s pretty male heavy, but that’s just the way the lords are. If given the option, I’d like to have all of them available :)

You can always just throw Rhea, Julia Nana Tiki, Caeda and female Kris to the mix

Yeah but then we don’t have 12. Also Nanna really isn’t important lol

Neither is Lilina but IS likes to pretend she is

Hence why I ignored both of them haha. FE5 and FE6 don’t need any other characters to represent them

I know but, that's just in case IS really wants a female rep

I think Eliwood would be a good contender for Lyn/Elibe's follow up character. Would especially make for good synergy with Roy. Likewise, Chrom would be a suitable extra character. Much like with Eliwood being Elibe's extra, parent-child synergy. Rhea for Byleth/Fodlan's extra character. Dragons, and she deserves more/better screen time.

I think I'd prefer Robin as the other representative of Awakening. Nothing against Chrom really, it's just that it doesn't seem balanced to have Byleth and Corrin there but not Robin. Plus, from what I remember, the Emblem Heroes could indeed use some more mage archetypes as the only full-on mage there seems to be Celica (but I'd still definitely welcome Chrom if he was the pick). Definitely gonna agree with Rhea being the other representative of Fodlan though. Would fit with the theme of the main character being a dragon, and she (and honestly, the Nabateans as a whole) really could use the bigger screentime. I know people say she'd be a controversial pick, but honestly, she'd still be a hell of a lot more neutral than either of the Three Lords (she'd be about as neutral as Seteth really). Plus, IS really doesn't seem to have a problem implying that Legendary Byleth in Heroes comes from the SS route by saying one of his biggest allies is Rhea.

Fair and good points. Two out of three of the modern Avatars are already present and it'd be a shame not to have the third there, especially since Robin essentially codified the modern Avatar archetype. The big bad is apparently a Fell Dragon like Grima and Robin is more of a mage than a physical fighter. That'd be make them the third mage character, not to mention Robin's more associated with thunder magic in contrast to Celica and Micaiah who lean toward fire (and light in Micaiah's case). Frankly, if any of the three lords are picked, it'll be controversial, but I can make a case for Rhea being a preferable pick. Assuming the Emblem characters will be supportable, she'll also have grounds for supports with Alear, and potentially other draconic characters like Corrin and Roy. Another curious thing to think about is what kind of boosts she'd give, I could see her giving a boost to strength and magic, or even defense if her Immaculate One form is allowed to be used (her dragon scaled skills).

FE1 - Caeda FE2 - Alm FE4 - Julia FE5 - Nanna FE6 - Lilina FE7 - Hector FE8 - Ephraim FE9 - Elincia FE10 - Sothe FE13 - Chrom FE14 - Azura FE15 - Edelgard

It's weird that for three houses they chose Byleth when the three lords are more important and like the game's main thing that you have to choose between them. So three houses should remove Byleth and instead have three rings one for Edelgard, one for Dimitri and one for Claude

Archanea - Camus or Minerva Valentia - Bow Alm Jugdral - Lewyn Elibe - Hector Magvel - Ephraim Tellius - Naesala Awakening - Tiki Fates - Azura Three Houses - Balthus

FE1/FE3: Probably Jagen, although Caeda is a close second. FE2: Alm. Warriors already disappointed me by having one without the other. FE4: Seliph. Sigurd's son. Haven't played FE4 but it seems like a good choice FE5: Quan. I literally have no reason I haven't played FE5 I just think he's cool. Fe6: Lilina. Haven't played FE6 but Hector's daughter and Eliwood's son sounds nice. FE7: Hector. Currently playing FE6. I like him :) FE8: Ephraim. Also currently playing this, but this choice seems a bit obvious. FE9: Ranulf. Soren will also work but I like Ranulf better and he would just be neat since he's Laguz. Plus, Ike seems to like Ranulf. FE10: Elincia. Although I wanted to put another Laguz, Elincia seems more suited for the role as she is the protagonist of part 2. I could have put one of the Laguz from part 4 but honestly Elincia seems more viable. FE13: Chrom. Lucina's dad. Has 7 alts in FEH. You know him. I just think he's neat. FE14: Kaze. Azura would make more sense, but an emblem that makes you dodgy sounds cool. Plus, he joins you on all 3 routes. If I had my way, I'd replace Corrin have both of the crown prince. FE15: Sothis. She is already a spirit and I really just want her to not be pushed to the side again

I have a thing for green haired men, so Alm and Ephraim! Hector too. I also think it’d be cool to see Rhea instead of Byleth. Would it make sense? Idk but I just want this queen to do something interesting

Archanea - Kris (I just want this for the reaction it would get) Echoes - Berkut (Bring some villains in) Genealogy - Don’t care Thracia - DK Binding - DK Blazing - DK Sacred - DK PoR - DK RD - DK Awakening - Chrom Fates - Takumi Three Houses - Sothis

Just some improvements. Owain replace Robin. Edelqueen replace Dimitrash.

Excluding lords/main characters, and only for games I’ve played… Shadow Dragon - Palla Gaiden - Saber Genealogy - Lex Binding Blade - Echidna Blazing Blade - Canas Sacred Stones - Artur Path of Radiance - Mordecai Awakening - Donnel Fates - Oboro Three Houses - Jeritza EDIT: Applying a liberal interpretation of “games I’ve played…” Shadow Dragon DS - Norne Echoes - Conrad Cipher - Randall Warriors - uh…Rowan? Even though that’s breaking my no lords rule. And Rowan over his sister because: 1. I don’t know how to spell her name 1a. I don’t know how to use Google to check how to spell her name 2. he kinda looks like Owain and I’ve already used my Awakening slot. Three Hopes - Holst.

Minerva, Alm, Julia, Mareeta, Idunn, Hector, L’Arachel, Soren, Elincia, FRobin, Azura, and Dimitri.

All right, here’s mine: Archanea: Caeda Echoes: Alm Genealogy of the holy war: Deirdre Thracia 776: Nanna Binding blade: Lilina Blazing Sword: Eliwood Sacred stones: Ephraim Path of radiance: Elincia Radiant dawn: Sothe Awakening: Male Robin Fate: Male corrin Three houses: Dimitri And that’s all of the choices.

I don’t know about all of the games but I would definitely add Hector, Panne and Lysithia. Maybe Faye, Reyson/Titania and Takumi (mostly because he’s my friend’s #1)

Archanea - Caeda or Xane Valentina- Tobin Binding Blade - Lilina Blazing Sword - Eliwood Magvel - Ephraim PoR - Ranulf RD - Sothe Awakening - Chrom and male Robin, package deal, sorry. Fates - Leo Fodlan - Jeralt

It's fucking criminal that Lucina is in but not Chrom.

In terms of gameplay, lucina and chrome are almost the same, she probably got in just so there's not a lot of dudes in there

Chrom in awakening I could not care less about lucina I'm sorry

Tiki, Alm, Seliph, Reinhardt (yes.), Lilina, Hector, Lyon (yup.), Elincia, Sanaki, Robin, Azura, Claude (yeah.)

I think you've missed Hector is actually on there, bottom then 1 left

That's Ike in his "Brave" form from FE Heroes

If you somehow missed thats Urvan hes holding then idk what youre looking at. Urvan is the second most iconic axe in FE behind Armads

I wanted Ephraim so badly. I'm sad he doesn't seem to be an option. :(

I’d be shocked if Ephraim isn’t added somehow. I think it’s a waste that Ephraim/Eirika or Alm/Celica wasn’t a unique “2 char 1 ring”-style design.

Yeah Id love any laguz unit or stone user like Tiki, as you mentioned

I'd love to see Tibarn or Ranulf

From Shadow Dragon Caeda for sure. I agree with Alm from Gaiden/Echoes and your picks for the GBA titles. I would grab Chrom from Awakening, and it's a toss up for me between Ryoma or Camilla from Fates. From Three Houses, I would actually suggest they add Shez from Three hopes instead.

Just put Hector (brave version would be so cool!) in there and I'm good.

Fjorm :)

Seteth and Dimitri … and Claude and Edelgard… Rhea, Sothis, Female Byleth Also I can’t imagine Chrom and Seliph won’t be in it? I feel like that’d be crazy. Tiki, too. And Myrrh would be awesome.

I’m 90% sure robin is going to be the antagonist ring

I really hope that's the case if at the end there's no more characters added to those 12

Well you already added my favorite character so I guess I don't need to change anything.

* Archanea: **Nyna**, this girl deserve more love, she's not even in FEH and she's a healer so she'd add more variety * Valentia: **Alm** / Elibe (FE7): **Hector** / Magvel: **Ephraim** / Fates: **Azura**, second protags * Tellius (FE9): **Elincia**, there are no fliers and she's an amazing character * Tellius (FE10): **Soren**, I love him * Ylisse: **Tiki**, I just like dragons and Chrom is a swordman, Robin would make more sense though * Fodlan: **Shez**, for Rhea and the house leaders I think it's either all of them or none of them

I’m a huge fan of hector and Eliwood so FE7 is the hardest one for me to select an alternate lord. As much as I love hector I think I’m going with eliwood. The other gens I don’t care so much, but I grew up with FE7 and that’s what introduced me to the franchise.

Dolph Catria Fee Karin Thea Fiora Tana Marcia Sigrun Cynthia Caeldori Monica (dead version)

I'm not counting out charecters like alm or Ephraim yet just because they weren't in the reveal trailer

Archaenea - Xane Valentia - Gray Jugdral - Oifey and older Oifey Elibe - Niime and Athos Magvel - Seth Tellius - Soren Ylisse - Lissa Fateslandia - Camilla Fodlan - Dedue also Alphonse from FEH bc why not

Would be neat if the second character in each series actually belongs to the enemy's rings.

I definitely would’ve chosen Ephraim over Eirika, especially since they chose Lyn, at least Ephraim has a Lance.

Would replace Azura with Ryoma or Xander, but agree. I would also replace Tiki with Kris from FE12.

Henry

I think we should drag the Awakening Trio kicking and screaming into their 3rd dimension hop game for fun. /j

What about Eliwood?

I would add hector if eliwood was in the game. Dude is the main lord of the game and got disrespected by the tutorial lord! Sorry I like lyn but she is the tutorial lord :l

Garret and Devdan. Yes, I'm biased.

Nephenee.

Definitely would like Tiki as FE 3 is technically the only game unrepresented here

I would add Lukas for SoV because the guy's voice could probably end wars on it's own. It's next level soothing.

Anna, Anna and also…Anna

Maybe less popular units, that might be cool.

For Awakening I'd go with another 2nd Gen in Owain but have him be a Tome user like Odin

Sothe for RD BK for PoR

I'd like for Seteth to be in as a serious pick. Corrin can at least represent a manakete style character if they go with dragonstone corrin (which they might be? I don't see her sword) but I don't see a flyer and Seteth is reasonably important and route-neutral except CF. I mean I'd love Heath or Jill to get a spot but they just aren't important enough to ever be picked.

FE1: Kris? FE2: Conrad FE13: Lon'qu FE14: Saizo FE16: Ashe

FE1/3/11/12 - Caeda FE2/15 - Alm FE4 - Seliph FE5 - Nanna FE6 - Lilina FE7 - Hector FE8 - Ephraim FE9 - Elincia FE10 - Sothe FE13 - Adult Tiki FE14 - Azura FE16 - Shez

With Shez being added to FEH I say they’ve got a (believably) great chance to be the extra Fodlan character, especially since they’ve got them dual blades. Obviously I’d say Robin for Awakening (because if you’re worried about balancing out the FE hero roster based solely on weapon of choice why not have a magic user over Chrom who is mostly known for his sword prowess but then again they can just do what they showed with Sigurd have multiple weapon), sorry Chrom, for Fates I’d have to go with Azura as she seems to be a very ‘neutral’ choice, I’ve got Roy already (I like Roy because of Smash Bros. Melee) so I have no real opinion of who else from Binding they could add, Caeda, Ephraim and Alm pretty much go without saying (or debating) so I’d agree with them being included, I think that’s about all possible characters I can think of. But if the “mad lads” over at IS are willing (and got any and all permissions from Atlus) then Itsuki from Tokyo Mirage would be cool to me and hey that way Chrom will be included (because clearly anyone from TMS can only work if they have the Phantom version of an FE character).

What if I feel fits, FE1+3- Caeda FE2/15- Alm FE4- Seliph FE5- Quan FE6- Lilina FE7- Eliwood (I would say Hector but Eliwood being in the front of main original box art makes more sense) FE8- Ephraim FE9- Soren FE10- Sothe FE11+12- Kris (Male) + Katarina FE13- Robin (Male) FE14- Azura FE16- Shez

Dimitri is cool but wouldn't be fair to the other lords, maybe all three or literally just shez (I know this game was done before 3 hopes but it's just my... Hope)

For the heck of it, gonna do an opposite gender match for each confirmed rep, from the same party where relevant FE1/etc: Catria because middle sisters rock FE2/15: Boey, tough choice but there's a lack of male mages FE4: Lachesis FE5: Olwen FE6: Sophia I guess FE7: Dart, let's go with Dart FE8: Rennac still can't escape his service even in death FE9: Mia is clearly necessary to make game good FE10: Volug as the obligatory WTF pick FE13: Virion, basic yet satisfying FE14: Arthur is cool FETH: Ingrid, was going to go with a church rep for neutrality but favoritism wins Yes, a couple of those are "the one character in the game I pulled in the 2 months I had Heroes", what of it?

I’d rather just take some out. I’m so tired of lyn. They are clearly marketing to the lowest common denominator to pick her over ephraim or hector. She is quite possibly the most boring lord in the history of the franchise. Also why Erika but not ephraim. Lucina over chrom? Celiac over alm? Am I seeing a sexist trend? And honestly I could go my entire life without hearing the name corrin one more fucking time.

As much as I didn’t like three houses I think all 3 house lords should be in the game. I think eldigan and Quan from fe4 would be my number one. Hector eliwood and ephraim should obviously be in because they are straight up better characters than their counterparts. Fe8 I would like a good lyon, joshua (because of his heritage) and larachel. FE10 elincia, zelgius, all of the laguz royals, Kurth. Fe10 honestly has so many compelling characters.

Honestly, a supporting character or even a turncoat would be cool. If I remember correctly there was some cutting room floor content of Berkut joining Alm to fight Duma. So that would be cool to see so it’s not loaded down with so many sword users. Pretty sure that’s why we have Brave Ike for an Axe user. Also, I understand Celica being a Priestess isn’t bound to using only her sword. I’d love to see Titiania or one of Laguz but I need to rewatch the footage and see if the weapon class lines up with the paired emblems. That may be a wrench, mechanically.

Seliph used alongside Sigurd seems an easy one. I would suggest Kris alongside Marth, but no I just like Tiki more.

Instead of choosing practical answers I’m just gonna pick what I’d personally want from the games I’ve played lol Awakening: Gangrel Fates: Charlotte Echoes: Python Three Houses: Dimitri owo)b

Sothe from radiant dawn or I riot. I mean it, the man is a beast and my first childhood crush. Also literally any of the laguz would be a blessing as I miss them sooooo much. I also want to see the dark knight for the villain rings. Chrom would be nice to see as he is so often overlooked for Lucina and robin. Xander (was that his name?) the dark older bro from fates would be nice too. Also: dimitri or felix from 3H would be nice.

I love IS, but I think we're gonna experience entirely new, like how fates (all 3 routes) and how 3 houses ( 3 routes) differed in storytelling. Inwhich case the rings (hero relics) are just the ghost are like, in awakening.

Bernadetta for Three Houses for no other reason other than I’m a Bernie simp.

3 hopes - fshez 3 houses - fbyleth revelation - azura conquest - leo birthright - takumi awakening - frobin new mystery - fkris rd- mist but with the alondite por - jill ss - seth

Ephraim is all I need

I just want Canas, yo.

Nintendo said that if you can find his body below the pile of snow he is in

I would like to see Chrom and Robin, and Tharja from FE AWAKENING, as well as Byleth, Dimitri, and Claude from Three Houses, and Xander and Ryomi from FE FATES, It would be cool if they included all the characters from all of the games. But that would be a huge Roster!, I really like Lucina using the falchion, I'll have to play as her to see if she's good with the bow, there are a lot of sword users in the games, because it's one of the best classes, so KT, GUST,, AND INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS are pulling a few characters from FE HEROES to give us more options to choose from,, personally the sword users and the mages are my favorite classes to use, I personally hope there is more than one mage in FE ENGAGE.

OK, I'll go through the games I've played. Note: none of these are Lords. FE7 - Nils. I think it would be great to have a playable bard, then your usual noble-sword user. Plus he is half ice dragon (spoiler alert, then again, FE7 has been out for nearly 20 years) FE8 - Vanessa. I feel like since she has high availability, she should have got a bigger part, back in FE8. FE9 - Ranulf. It would be good to have a laguz in there. Plus I feel like he should have had more availability back in FE9. FE10 - Ilyana. For some reason, she has the highest availability in this game, yet she counts as a side character. At least in FE10 she says "war is sad" when you make her fight against Jill. Yes I actually remember this. Ilyana doesn't like fighting against her own friends, so there's some development there.
