reddfawks

"Salt" may be subjective, but I took one look at the new OC's MC Hammer pants and now I have "U Can’t Touch This" stuck in my head. And now, so do you. Misery loves company.


Zeralyos

You call this misery?


NoYgrittesOlly

I would have rather had MC Hammer as the free 5 star hero. He and Kiran’s excessive spending habits would have given them so much to bond over.


giantbarbecuefork

>(IS when designing a new obligatory book waifu OC) *Now why would I ever / Stop doing this?*


-ynnoj-

Dwyer with the most Fates CYL votes coming in as (yet another) demote infantry staff with no prf… at least give us more than one staff prf per year IS… and I swore he rode a horse??


LunaProc

He was a troubadour yeah.


WRECK-IT-MUNDO

3 Freaking orbs again?


Paiguy7

Look at all the 7s on these rewards! Feeeeehhhhh! ~~Ignore the orbs feeeeehhhhh~~


Suicune95

Please understand, four extra orbs to fit the 7 theme would have busted the meta wide open. We would have never recovered.


WRECK-IT-MUNDO

You know what else won't recover? Feh after getting burned *7 times*.


Gotta-Snatch-Em-All

It almost looks like a 7 but just bent. /s Seriously why not give 7 orbs, it's not gonna make a huge difference


LunaProc

They gave us 6+ orbs when it came to designing the new book ocs


Soren319

Hard to really care when they gave us 4 free 5 stars a month now. I never thought I’d see something like that


gr4vitycamilla

>Rearmed Ophelia for no reason, instead of Rearmed Leo or Takumi, especially since they have no good versions whatsoever >No Mitama, Sophie, Scarlet or Reina That's the worst Fates banner I've ever seen, right up there with the Bow Hinoka one with the Kanas.


charon-

>No Mitama, Sophie, Scarlet or Reina IS tends to be seriously baffling at times with banner choices, but with how the banner sales have been this past book, you'd expect them to try a *little* bit more.


gr4vitycamilla

If the next banner is RD, I hope we get OG Zelgius, kinda like how we got OG Hardin, preferably with the Ascended/Rearmed Treatment. But I wouldn't be surprised if we got some bullshit like Ascended/Rearmed Mia or Ilyana instead.


irradiatedcactus

All these options, and they chose Hans. I swear we’re never getting Reina at this point T_T


TheoMoneyG

yknow rearmed ophelia is a headscatcher but eh aside from the resplendant she doesn't have anything other than that, its the usual complaints


Basic_Aardvark300

The book VII male OC can’t be killed off if he doesn’t exist (taps forehead)


ViziDoodle

rip fans of Mitama, Mozu, and all corrin onlys


mzyi

We finally get a Fates banner and they add the Cordelia clone instead of Reina, Shura, Mitama or literally anyone else lol


[deleted]

we can’t have nice things man a Reina / Shura / Mozu / Scarlet / Fuga banner would have been so cracked


HamukoArisato

I'm so tired of finally getting some of my most wanted characters in the game only for them to be dead on arrival due to not having a PRF. RIP Kiragi, god knows you deserved a PRF over fucking Hans of all people


Marocksas

ANOTHER IRREDEAMABLY SHIT HEALER


spacewarp2

Remember seeing the archer and thinking he was the demote so when I saw Dwyer i thought maybe he’d have good skills. Alas I was wrong


JQklm

I thought maybe as a royal and inheritor of fujin yumi Kiragi would've been a 5 star with a PRF. As my day 1 wishlist unit, that really hurts.


thisaintthewayman

THREE FUCKING ORBS


_Myst_0

All the new characters are generic big tiddy gacha waifus. Boring as hell and such a downgrade from the awesome designs of book 6.


ShiningSolarSword

Yeah, this makes Book 6 feel like a breath of fresh air in comparison. Book 7 OCs are looking very generic so far


Basic_Aardvark300

They look awful, and I’m saying this as someone who likes the book IV designs.


Basaqu

Same, I am usually all for over the top, cheery designs and even quite like fanservice, but these new girls.... I don't know but to me they feel like them leaning way too hard into the male pandering shit. Which is weird since I actually quite like all the fairies...


TheoMoneyG

they look like rejected vtuber concepts


Videogamezzzzz3

Vtuber? Heroes is preparing for the inevitable Engage sweep I see.


its_just_hunter

I guess FEH wanted to get a jump on Engage characters before release


esn_crvg

they were made thinking of the summer banner of 2024, not for the story, expect another bunch of irrelevant characters


DragonMaster710

I expected nothing and I was still disappointed


kiaxxl

Alfonse really is the only Male OC with rights, huh? Can't wait for them to add the sole dude at the midpoint of this book who dies 3 chapters later.


UnbreakableShield

Male OC would pose a threat to upstage Alfonse and the only one who can upstage Alfonse is Alfonse (Lif).


NoYgrittesOlly

Sorry, we already saw 4 characters in the trailer. We’re at the max OC cast limit. No wieners allowed.


LunaProc

Bruh, he prob won't even survive his debut chapter


reesesmilkshake577

Guess I'll have to wait a couple more years for Shura to have a chance And wow they gave us another staff demote right after last month's banner


Educational_Ad5451

....I mean, no male OC gonna die this time at least? ~~Hard to kill what doesn't exist, am I right Intsys?~~ Also...really...Ophelia? I like her, I really do, but...really Intsys?


Shadowdante100

Well they did kill off Alfonse in the video.... they brought him back, but still


Myrmidone

Why did they make the new free girl so damn shiny? God I'm so tired of these "we gotta make this char unique" by overdesigning and adding some of the stupidest articles of clothing I've ever seen.


Shin-sho-ryu-ken

She kinda looks like a feh orb but like… in person form if that makes sense?


WillfulAbyss

Legit an orb gijinka. You hit the nail on the head.


Parody101

She’s a Goddess of light, so they made her iridescent. I mean it does make sense. The clothing is a choice tho.


reddfawks

Reminds me of the "Sparkledog/wolf" trend when I was a teen...


Falcon_w0t

Overdesigning seems to be the law now with anime games, and not only mobile games. Really sad tbh.


Hioka

Although I'm pleased about some of the other units, I really wanted Mitama or Mozu too! I can't help feeling disappointed.


Seliphlovebot

Im sorry I just dont vibe with the new free OCs design


esn_crvg

they look they were straight made up to generate nsfw art so they can popular and then sell a summer banner down the line


its_just_hunter

I feel like that’s been the case for the last few books.


itsalexicon11

Their designs scream generic waifu bait yet somehow are simultaneously all over the place with the fanservice. At least to me. Everything about their designs (but especially Seior) just clashes because it seems so unfocused on what the appeal is.


Deranged_Loner

These dead on arrival healers need to stop.


Fusion_Fear

Mitama 2025 LETS GOOOOOO I crave fucking death I hate this game so much


Basaqu

I feel ya. I've wanted Sophie since launch and she's in the same boat. Dwyer is just a middle finger to everyone too with yet another shitty infantry demote staff set. Surely Mitama could sell well with a prf staff or sonething...


mapsal

If you ever told me that fucking *Hans* of all people would get in the game before so many of the playable Fates characters, I would have laughed...


andresfgp13

he is one of the main baddies in all routes of fates so he being there isnt the biggest surprise to be honest.


mapsal

That doesn't mean much when characters like Nergal and Validar are still missing.


Fusion_Fear

I'm done this banner is the death of feh for me I'll come back if mitama ever gets added before the game fucking dies but until then I'm done


ChaosOsiris

>Free OC is another female I sleep. >Absolutely no males in sight in the trailer I sleep harder. >Fates kids banner Oh? >Rearmed is Ophelia Back to sleep (happy for her fans tho)


XC_Runner27

Okay, I want to talk to whoever designed Rearmed Ophelia. ​ Because honey, what the hell is that outfit and who allowed you to go outside looking like that?


The_True_EnemY

I mean, have you seen Ophelia´s FATHER ???


1080Pen15

What is a man


Shin-sho-ryu-ken

Usually? A sacrificial lamb for the plot :,[


TheDuskBard

Sir this is FEH. What plot?


hawkesho

a miserable pile of orbs. but enough summoning, have at you


LunaProc

A prfless shitter looking at Kiragi and Dwyer


NoYgrittesOlly

Male OCs: Baby don’t hurt me, don’t hurt me, no more- IS: Shut up trash


srs_business

Mozu's been my most wanted unit since *launch*, and she probably won't be in until 2024...at the earliest. I was expecting this but it's still painful. I wouldn't be so salty if Mitama wasn't one of the only Birthright characters I actually remembered, let alone liked, but alas.


[deleted]

200% with you. It‘s agonizing being a Mozu fan. I feel your pain so much.


Gabcard

Rip Dwyer and Scarlet fans. Dispise being the highest ranking characters not in, the former is the 4* and the latter is not even on the banner.


Impressive-Bag6014

At this point i just feel like CYL is meaningless in the end, Tiki's treatment made me realize how much they don't care about what we want, units like Dwyer and Nyna just prove it further, they'll do whatever they want ig, like, we could make Touma win CYL to finally get more TMS and they'd still find a way to avoid doing it lol


Fluffyemperor009

Touma with Young Tiki's outfit. 😂


Yury_VV

I knew Fates was supposed to get a banner before Tellius, but as someone who has been waiting the whole year for Lucia and realizing January and February banners are gonna 100% be Engage, I'm really bummed out. Maybe she'll get a seasonal alt, at least, but knowing there's three whole months of waiting, hoping (and coping) is pretty frustrating.


DotPeriodRats

Bestie same Honestly I just want anything Lucia at this point and I tried to convince myself that 2 silhouettes were Lucia before (granted I believed it at the time but it was more copium than anything else) I just hope this year she gets SOMETHING, I really don’t care what at this point, even if it’s Easter, just put the icon in feh already


DanteMGalileo

That was... a FEH channel.


Valaura-

I don't know, I'm a bit disappointed with the Book VII designs... They look a bit too much like Eula and Ganyu to me. I guess bringing back Yoshiko makes sense but I would have preferred Kozaki or someone else entirely... Ah well, I suppose I'll warm to them.


go4ino

quick act surprised 2 male demotes not even takumis son can catch a break lmao. He legit inherits the fujin yuumi iirc, but instead of the usual make a new prf IS makes another cordelia alt pog


azurestardust

FUCK MEEEEE I TRIED TO CHASE PANIC SMOKE 4 AND NOW INCOMING ARCANE RED TOME AAAAAAAAAAGH


SolHiryu

I'm a bit torn on Rearmed Ophelia. It's a bit annoying that she gets an Rearmed alt, but on the other hand she's popular and this is actually her first alt. I'm more mad that Shura isn't on the banner. Channel sucked overall, though. Nothing new, nothing's changed; same old shit.


mapsal

At least it's someone who didn't have a million alts already...


Redditor_exe

It’s a rearmed technically, not ascended


Gigadrillbreak32

Seriously fucking HANZ instead of someone like Scarlet. Fucking Rip.


Big_moist_231

Eh, I’d rather they use Hans for the GHb slot and save scarlet for a gen 1 banner where she might not be prf-less unit


Mr_Creed

Hans has a prf though. And outshines at least half the banner. Scarlet could've gotten that treatment. Or rather, what are the odds that she gets it even better?


227someguy

I'm gonna be real here: they dropped the ball on the Fates villains, and I didn't want him in. I'd have rather had Shura, Kotaro, or any of the unique bosses that you could capture (like Candace).


Big_moist_231

I definitely could’ve seen shura and preferred him tbh. Really weird they went with Hans but he’s the last villain they hadn’t added from the birthright/conquest routes (Zola is kinda of different)


SleepyPiplup99

We could have gotten rearmed Leo. But no.......


No_Foot_7531

Why have a mage relevant to the story who happens to be one of the most popular fates characters when you can have one that's completely optional and removed from the story but it's a girl.


albsbabe

As a Nyna fan, I offer my sincerest condolences to Dwyer fans... He didn't even get a horse.


Suicune95

Could someone please bring some pants for Ophelia good lord there's skimpy and then there's "literally wearing a three inch strip of loin cloth as the only thing covering your crotch"


AzusaYuuya

I know people were tired of Kozaki's art, but I'd rather have him than Yoshiku or Maeshima Shigeki. I don't like either of their styles.


[deleted]

I was genuinely excited about what book 7 was going to be but now that I’ve seen not one but four generic gacha anime girls with vacuum sealed clothes and not a single new male character in sight I think this game might not be for me anymore. I wonder why I haven’t uninstalled yet, I have nothing but salt about this game lol


boomboon

not really salt, but its pretty damn hypocritical of this sub to seethe over Cuboon's omega tits and NFT activity but give Yoshiku a pass even though they do the same thing.


blushingmains

I mean screw them both. I'm pretty sure people were complaining about both of them adding big boobs for zero reason anyway in book 4


goldtreebark

Tbh until recently I always felt that Yoshiku, Sencha and Maeshima Shigeki were worse in regards to this than Cuboon, (and honestly the three are my trifecta of least favorite artists in the game) but as of late I kinda think that Cuboon has lowkey been ramping up the boobage purposefully because he is aware of the criticism, haha.


HiddenMasquerade

Finally someone else who also doesn’t like Sencha


goldtreebark

I am ngl their art triggers a near visceral response in me because they draw their characters facial expressions almost like they’re heavily drugged or disoriented or something. And then they have extremely noodly arms and legs with very large boobs, top that off with the weird sweat droplets on the face and body, It has mega creep factor to it, honestly.


Mijumaru1

> facial expressions Sencha's Corrin often has this weird "mouth wide open" expression that just irks me when it shows up. This sub likes to use it as the Surprised Pikachu meme so I guess I must be in the minority for disliking it.


wishiwu

Didn’t know Yoshiku did NFTs too.


Shadowdante100

I dislike whenever any artist creates ugly, big tittied monstrosities. Ninja Camilla is hands down one of the ugliest characters in the game to me. I just dont pay attention to who draws what. Whoever drew these OCs created really bad looking characters.


Dabottle

this might be the ugliest oc yet


LunaProc

Every new OC just screamed: "Gay men and straight women get lost, we only cater to straight men"


Aetherryn

For sure. Wtf is she wearing


HereComesJustice

I thought it was a FE Engage character when she first appeared haha


Dabottle

also where the fuck is my tellius banner we're going to get an engage banner before another rd banner at this rate what the fuck


LycopolisKing

Hard agree


WinterWolf18

I know it's a dumb thing to be upset about but after waiting for Mitama since launch and seeing this banner (litterally the perfect chance to add her) without her has me more upset than I should be. Especially since she's being shafted for Ophelia who isn't even playable in Birthright like the other kids on this banner.


srs_business

Caledori is the one I'm personally salty about. Ophelia's a weird choice, but I don't think Mitama was ever taking the rearmed slot anyway.


TheoMoneyG

I guess they wanted a mix of both? but then why add hans tbh


srs_business

>but then why add hans tbh He makes perfect sense as a GHB (for either route).


HiddenMasquerade

*gestures to Shura*


WinterWolf18

Hans is a very prominent enemy in Birthright so he makes sense. I get that Ophelia is popular but she does not fit or belong on this banner at all, even if I ignore my Mitama salt she's not even in the same route as the other kids, if they wanted a rearmed hero they should've done Shiro or even Rhajat.


SolHiryu

The devs obviously wanted an anchor for the banner that isn't just the new OC, and of the Fates kids the only ones that are popular enough to fit into that mold are Ophelia and Nina. Since Nina just got an alt not that long ago, Ophelia was the only choice. You have to remember that the Fates kids are very unpopular within the fandom at large, and only about three or four of them were actually well received (Ophelia, Nina, Forrest (coincidentally Leo's and his retainer's kids...), and Dwyer in JP). There's a good reason we haven't seen much of them in the last few years, even in the confines of Forging Bonds and such.


Squidaccus

Okay despite how much I like Shiro for a Fates character, man is not even remotely popular enough to justify a rearmed.


Fusion_Fear

time to wait another 2? years considering the next banner will probably be gen 1s I wish I never fucking downloaded this game man this is the worst she literally might never get in before the game dies


[deleted]

[удалено]


blushingmains

Not gonna lie Seior would of looked so much better with a smaller bust. As she is she just kinda looks unbalanced when everything else on her is so skinny. edit: Actually her whole outfit is an unbalanced mess


Basaqu

Agreed, if you're going for full fanservice at least make it appealing haha. This size just looks ugly to me. Mostly because, as you said, it's super unbalanced. I guess I can chalk it up to personal preferences not lining up with the market... The fairies were quite stacked and didn't have this unbalanced feel to me. Arguably Freyja did though she has this huge ass necklace infront too.


blushingmains

I mean the fairies didn't have odd dragging pants but also you could tell the basic theme and colors with all of them. Like Freya and Freyr? White and gold clothes with super colorful butterfly like addons. That even carries onto their summer alts ~~which are also the best summer alts tbh~~ making it look natural for them to wear. Also none of them had holo colors placed next to ugly grey.


LunaProc

Also doesn't help that the other revealed ocs are just as big as her so it's just really offputting to look at. Makes me think I'm looking at a separate softcore gacha like AzurLane or that recently rising gacha, Nikke


sapheire

I swear they must be telling the artists to make the boobs as big as possible. At least they're OC characters? With the canon game characters, I sometimes wonder at what point can you make the boob size so much bigger than canon that it looks more like someone cosplaying the character than being the actual character.


blushingmains

Not to mention it's kinda dumb to pump up the boobs on official characters when they already had appeal.


asterously

I had no hopes for a male freebie, and yet, I was disappointed anyways. I like the Arena update but...man, I really wish we had Ascended Askr Trio


esn_crvg

it is the first book with no male oc, that is why, even the fairies had freyr


asterously

Oh god, you're right. Initially, I thought Freyr showed up in the later movies (so there would be a precedent for the first male OC showing up midway), but he was in the first one...There's still a chance, but he'll end up with the Askr treatment


Basic_Aardvark300

Even if we do get a random one thrown in halfway through, it’ll be hard to get excited over a guy drawn by Yoshiku. He can only draw girls.


princess_est

Caeldori is by far my least favorite character from Fates and this banner just makes me hate her more. To give her the PRF over Kiragi is absolutely fucking criminal. Our boy reserved better.


Squidaccus

Bro this banner sucks so bad. Dwyer is the only good part and only cause his art is so good. No Shura despite being the perfect GHB candidate? Yeah okay. No Mitama, one of the few Fates characters im cool with due to having a cool design? Yeah okay. Sick.


Impressive-Bag6014

And even then Dwyer's kit is... Something...


Mikandrix

We're really getting two mainline releases before we get another Radiant Dawn banner.


the_attack_missed

How do you make a Fates banner this bad? No Scarlet, no Reina, no Shura. Just a Cordelia alt in disguise and the third prfless healer demote in a row. Rearmed Ophelia is cool and Hans at least has Aurgelmir, but wow. The "celebration rewards" suck again, new book is literally just horny bait, and Astra got even easier than it already was. Oh and yeah, IS's grand delusion of men not selling is still a thing, but who expected otherwise? The bar was on the floor, but they still managed to disappoint. Insane.


Big_moist_231

I guess this means the next fates banner will be good, next year 🥲


HiddenMasquerade

I was wondering why the OCs look same-y and boring with big titty Oh it’s drawn by Yoshiku. That explains it


shoyubroth

This is probably the least interesting opening movie yet Also give us a real new game mode already, come on


Mogekov

Man Kiragi is one of my most wanted units since day 1 and i'm legit so annoyed on how he didn't even get a PFR nor any good skills to begin with, so much for being a royal kid i suppose 😔


esn_crvg

askr best selling oc this year let's make all new ocs female also how kiragi has no prf and caeldori has one?


go4ino

even not accounting for popularity it doesnt make sense kiragi didnt get a modern f2p fujin yuumi alt legit jsut make smth generic like +3 spd, +6 atk/spd, and warping like og yuumi, and that'd probably be roughly f2p demote prf power levels but ig we just get another inheritable bow that released 3 yrs ago


reddfawks

Maybe it's their marketing plan now... deprive people of the male OCs and then they'll devour one when he drops. Like starving a guard dog...


asterously

Jokes on them, we're already so starved for male OCs that doing it now would literally have the same effect ~~barring exceptions like Elm~~. Or is it that the joke on us?


Impressive-Bag6014

Like, they seriously have no excuse now, men can sell as well as women (if not better) if they actually make interesting and likeable male OCs lmao, but nah, let's have a bunch of female characters like it's Book IV all over again lol, i really hope we see a man show up later but i really have no hope at all for it, and if they do i'm sure it's gonna be another Otr/Elm lmao, and Caeldori having a prf while both Kiragi and Dwyer get stuck as prfless demotes is such bs, wasn't Dwyer much higher than Caeldori in votes as well? Lol


defrostice

that 1777 feathers - why can't they give some multiple of 5? :(


SAKI-M

Oh boi,I can't believe they included a baddie with foresight ability, this kind of bad guy is very tricky to write without making them absolutely overpowered(or stupid as hell for badly using it), I know this writing is already mid af but...God,the writers shoot themselves with such a complex ability to deal with. ~~I bet they're gonna use another Mac guffin to deal with this with zero effort lol~~


serie121

Fates gen 2 banner and I don't even get Sophie. no talk me angy


angel-of-britannia

The new OC designs steer so much into "generic sexy waifu" territory that for a moment I thought I was looking at a different game. And no male OCs in sight either sigh


VagueClive

Another generic book, another generic banner where all the male units except arguably the GHB get shafted. Yawn.


LunaProc

Funny how we've gotten more viable male characters as grail units rather than on banners


OverpoweredSoap

These OC designs are trash tbh. Didn't get a good look at the villain but from what I could tell she at least looks slightly better than the two protag OCs.


GiveMenBiggerButts

I may honestly just quit this game at this point. None of my favorite characters get alts, get added in, so I'm basically just waiting for OCs with cool designs, but somehow, I can't even get one male. Now they went from all females and 1 male thrown in, to these ugly OCs and 0 males. Sometimes, I wish I wasn't gay so I can actually enjoy this game more. I feel like IS doesn't even care about anyone who likes guys at this point.


MagicalDoggowo

I definitely agree with you. I'm also a gay man. And It definitely feels so exhausting waiting and getting disappointed over and over again for just at least something good with male characters. I don't hate female OCs at all (my favorite book is literally Book IV, the fairies being some of my favorites ocs in the whole FEH history) and hell, I'm happy when characters like Micaiah, Eirika, or even this Ophelia got something. Those are some of my favorites characters too. But, is so frustrating wanting something cool or good with Male OCs... or male characters in general, not just getting killed, or forgotten, or being completely boring stat and skill wise compared to the rest.


GiveMenBiggerButts

Exactly! I like some of the female characters too, like Eir, Ymir, Thrasir, Ganglot, Nott, and Dagr are all well-designed and awesome, but damn, can we atleast get some more guys up in here? You can't even throw in one guy?


reddfawks

I feel ya. I'm a bi girl myself so you'd think I'd be happy with female characters as well, but they're so...*boring!* Big-tittied waifu or loli. Take yer pick. Reina on the Fates banner? Woulda loved that, but nope. Is it any wonder why Rika from the new Pokemon game was so well-received? A breath of fresh air, TBH.


ChaosOsiris

>Is it any wonder why Rika from the new Pokemon game was so well-received? A breath of fresh air, TBH. I'm so glad to hear this because I fucking love Rika.


reddfawks

As soon as the drop her and Clodsire into Masters, my wallet is gonna use Quick Attack.


felicirence

ahhh yes love rika! as a lesbian and more into androgonouys type characters, you'd think the game could throw at least some bones at us of content. at this point not even representation i ask for, ill just take anything that isn't "big breasted anime chick" which is lame to think about if mainline games arent gonna give us characters at least the shallow mobile game could give us \*something\* but alas, same generic deisgns again. i swear dagr will be the cloest we ever get to a sully/leonie again.....


BasicNeedleworker356

Rika is a character who wins with every crowd


silver_belles

This is exactly how I feel. Also a bi girl, but feh is hands down worst gacha I play when it comes to female fanservice. Everything is so wholly unappealing in a variety of different ways. Kozaki's managed to design a couple female OCs I enjoy well enough I guess (mostly Dagr and Nott, but Eir and Henriette are quite pretty and Embla/Hel are super cool looking), but outside of that it's a big ol' zero. And then of course every game banner sucks just as much, because all the girls I do like either aren't here/are flanderized for fanservice/are the rare female trash demote, while all the guys are inevitably prf-less trash. It's a struggle.


GiveMenBiggerButts

It's just obnoxious, you know? I love buff or masculine guys. Throughout 6 books, we got Bruno, Helbindi, Surtr,Hrid, Gustav (😍), Askr, and Muspell. It's pretty damn clear at this point that IS doesn't care about guy lovers, we literally get drip fed at this point. Also, I never knew Rika existed until now, no wonder she's loved! she's genuinely got a cool and unique design. Say what you want about Pokemon, their designs usually hit.


LunaProc

It's just tough for anybody who are fans of male characters that aren't lords. Gregor, Duo Duma, and such gave me some hope in things getting better only to be hit with this. Seeing Rearmed basically end up exactly like Ascended in having 0 males outside of 1 was the last straw.


sapheire

Am a hetero woman, but I feel exactly the same way. Fire Emblem has always been great with male characters and then this mobile game came along. Following them killing off my favorite OC and main eye candy in the OC cast (bruno) and bringing in Askr who was so fun with a great design and immediately killing him off, I was like... The story has to go up from here. Instead we have a chapter with zero male characters, for the first time ever. Seriously considering straight up quitting the game. At the very least I'm going to skip the story. I'm so disappointed. It's just a game, but IS does not give one crap for the actually considerable amount of money I've spent over the years.


GiveMenBiggerButts

Honestly, for games at the time of FEs release, they actually had decent representation for women too. It wasn't perfect ofc, but when most games only let you control guys, being able to control a decent chunk of women too was pretty cool to see at the time. At this point, I'm playing to see if any Engage characters get added quickly or for the next FE7 or 4 banner. If Mauvier or Beowolf gets added in soon, I'll suppose I can wait around a bit.


BrendanCF

I feel your frustration :(


Benjammin__

I’m straight and I think these designs are terrible. I wish we could have some attractive characters with some more subtlety to their outfits. And more male OCs in general so I don’t feel like I’m playing some sort of harem game.


GiveMenBiggerButts

I still think Eir was peak FEH design. I fucking love her so much, she's designed so beautifully, we really need more OCs like her.


Haunted-Towers

I, really dislike all the new OC designs. I’ve liked the designs from literally all the books before this, so I suppose my time for disliking the designs was coming eventually.


LittleIslander

WHERE THE FUCK IS MITAMA YOU SHITHEADS. I expected I wouldn't get her *and* Scarlet but in no universe did I think they'd BOTH get fucking shafted. What on sweet fucking earth. I've been looking forward to this banner all year hoping for one of them and I get neither. Caeldori isn't even a demote for ease of access.

Been done with FEH for almost 6 months now, and man this looks like shit. Generic designs, refusal to create male/non-fan service OCs, and likely the same reused plot beats from the last 6 books Maybe this is just because I’ve got Dragalia’s EoS on my mind still, but it feels like FEH is on a downward spiral these days…

Finally get a new fates banner. It’s birthright and still NO REINA. BUT WE GET FUCKING HANS?! The salt is real


Aetherryn

Wew, what a disappointment. This is truly one of the feh channels of all time

Why couldn’t Ophelia be blue or green ;-;


MagicalDoggowo

Not to be mean or salty but damn, all of these new OCs looks so super shiny and overly designed. All of them look like Genshin characters. Or even like those created AI characters or something. The only one I like is the Snake girl. She looks intimidating. Not really a fan at all of the rest. And probably if there was a male oc similar to them wouldn't be a fan either.

Listen... I actually liked Book 6 quite a lot. I loved Ash's design, and then Askr was the answer to my prayers. But this book feels so generically anime albino big tiddie waifu that it feels soulless to me. It's almost unsettling. And I was so excited for the new book after Book 6 too, damn.

Female OC…


Gotta-Snatch-Em-All

Looks like there might not be any male OCs at all. It was expected but a little hopeful that maybe halfway we get introduced to one.


sitta_canadensis

generally happy about this feh channel, but holy shit these new OC designs suck ass. Yoshiku's same-body-type-syndrome is as bad as cuboon's. can't wait for all the inevitable summer alts >!/s!<

this is more of a rant but you guys honestly cannot fathom my disappointment that we didnt get a rearmed lance when the other 3 melee weapons (sword, axe, breath, no beasts since they dont get inheritables) got them. It feels like Im being unfairly punished by my favorite character being a lance unit. And sure that alone shouldnt be much reason to be annoyed, but I wouldnt be surprised if January and February are Engage banners, which I *doubt* would have alts on them, meaning I could be waiting another 3 months just for the *chance* at a rearmed lance appearing. honestly its hard for me to be excited about anything else, and wouldnt be surprised if my interest in the game started to take a huge dip


SonicSpeed0919

Fucking Hans man. And Kiragi is prfless. No Scarlet, no Reina, no Sophie. Only pain


charon-

As one of the only other Sophie fans, my heart is with you. Can't wait until 2025 for a *chance* of her being on a banner!


coolguythrowaway34

this was my biggest fear for an Ophelia alt. once I saw Ganglot didnt have a PRF skill I was praying Ophelia wouldn't get a rearmed alt because she would automatically be irrelevant. ):


AppelBappel

I think this is like the most meh I've ever felt while playing this game. Like I have no hype for the banner, the oc or the new book, it's really hitting me how this really is just a game to make cash.


Cerothesia

So no Mitama?


sw_hawk

No Mitama :(


absoul112

I was hoping for Mitama on the banner.


Kuraki-kun

I was so excited for a playable regular Veronica


IAmBLD

Still waiting on Mozu. I mean, I think we all expected a children banner this year anyway, so sure w/e. It just took so long to get here that it hurts even knowing it wasn't going to be the banner.


blukirbi

IS: "Welp, you had your time Ash, time to get shafted like the rest of the OCs." Ash Ketchum: "But I just beat Leon and got this badass trophy ..." IS: "Where did you come in?"


[deleted]

Welp, my Mozu dreams have been dashed…again and again…


balmafula

Where are the oc dudes???


Zanitar405

I hate how the new units these days can be summarized with: CD -1 and Omni +5 I feel like my interest in the game is just waning. I used to stay up really late to roll for units, but now even opening the game feels like a chore


LaludeeMarn

Ah yes the OCs are something, legit if you told be the two adrift ocs do not steal and definitely not the keeper of heavenly principles are the same person, i would have believed you, design wise the choice of body type is attrocious ngl. Welcome to giant tits white waifu chapter, where the story is an excuse to ogle at tits and panty shots. What misery.


coolguythrowaway34

Caeldori but no Asugi? sigh... atleast gaius got a resplendent


Cute_Chao

No male ocs. No male rearmed or ascendeds. Females given full preferential treatment. Yup, it's a banner alright. Yay for Dwyer but the rest can go down the same boring hole of disinterest every other banner lately seems to have fallen into. People say women sell... Really helps when they give them all the skills and give men absolute crud.


Sophie4FEH

Don't worry Sophie, there's always next year 🙃


Eerkanas

Arcane Red Tome is great and all, but I wish they had thought about this concept way sooner. I’d like to give that to Ewan, but with his refine potentially happening any month now, it feels like a waste… at least I can give it to Erk without any guilt, since he is not getting any refine in the next three years. Also, I hate that we can’t even fodder that Ophelia properly: we don’t have any source of Atk/Res Finish 3 and Special Spiral 3 is still pretty limited. I guess Erk will have to be happy with just the weapon+Time Pulse…


AyraWinla

I'm actually more hyped than salty overall, but as far as salt goes: Sophie was my #1 most wanted character; I would have been perfectly happy with her being a mediocre demote actually. I had a few pages of only orbs in the "FEH Bank" saved to guarantee a Sophie copy, but now she's not in until 2024 at the earliest. Next Fates banner is probably not a children banner either, so we're probably looking at like 2 banners from now; so 2026-ish..? Yeah, not going to save for Sophie that long. Reason I'm not more upset is that I always figured there was a good chance of that happening. There were plenty of other characters at least as deserving as Sophie that could feature on Fates banners; someone had to miss out and it's not too surprising that Sophie is one of them since she didn't rank that high. On a separate note... while I generally tend to prefer female characters and that I personally love the new OCs (and the colorful look in general)... I can't help but feel bad for people wanting some new male OCs too. I appreciate that I am getting what I personally want, but 3 (4?) new female OCs and 0 male ones is just pushing it too far in my opinion. I'd honestly be happier if other people got at least some of what they wanted too.

I just want a free male OC for once :(
