well i think we're supposed to know she's alive (her damaged art has no goop, one of her level up responses is something like, "life is growth, i am no exception") but i want to know why she's alive if hel isn't... i hope it's not another "she was kidnapped as a baby!" thing since like you said, they did that with azura already

and yeah, i gotta turn the dialogue back on when i do the lunatic chapter quests, i want to reread this mess. "we just... have this gate to hel, so we put a big lid on it to keep the dead people in. crazy, right?" like... lmao gustav i know you're on a tight schedule, but we need more exposition than that!

we also don't know how old alfonse and sharena and eir are, right? i wonder if the seal being 20 years old is going to be more than a throwaway line o; maybe it's a fairy tale agreement-with-the-witch thing. "i promised this thing 20 years ago but actually i don't want to pay up. leave my kids alone, hel"

[edit]

i've got my fingers crossed the rest of the mythic debut banners are hero fests like this one, but... i'm not feeling great about it. i'd also put money on them flipping between eir and grima >;

- Well, we know the writing in this game isn't the greatest, but I certainly hope it's not something that predictable. Put the two together: Eir is actually Alphonse and Sharena's sister, traded away by Gustav in return for like 20 years of happiness or something.
I've been playing this silly (drinking) game with my sister where we watch crappy holiday movies and predict what is going to happen/what people will say, and it's pretty easy. lol. I'd like to be able to give more credit to the heroes writers than that, so I hope I'm wrong :P

Belated but got Lewyn from the Hero Fest banner, saving my orbs for the Christmas banner that I have a feeling is coming but using the remaining tickets to try to get either Orphilia or Owain since I can't save them.

Edit: and my Lewyn is a Hp Boon/Res bane apperantly.

Nuuuur, the holiday banner looks so good this year! I want them all. :( but I have less than 100 orbs which means very unlikely to get any.

I'm most excited about Holiday Cecelia so I'm glad she's free. Eirika is tempting (staff...) but looking over my most used units... armours don't really appear ^^; I will need to remind myself of that when I decide if I want to do any late night boredom pulling.

Need to try and save, I think this holiday banner overlaps with the next one so I'll try and hold out until then (famous last words)

I've had nothing from the Hero-fest banner but then again I'm only pulling on Colourless and Blue.

Winter Fae is SO cute but why do all Christmas units have to be armored? :') And why the hell is Eirika an armor. It's not as bad as Tharja last year and I know we have had a few questionable armors since then (dragons...) but... Still probably going to get one focus and hoping it will be Eirika (for those all armored quests, she could be handy) or Fae haha. Ephraim doesn't like me anyway, I have all 3 Eirikas and 0 Ephraim!

fae is super cute, ephraim and eirika are neat... probably gonna be a skip for me though, i really, really don't need more armors (don't even need an armored santa chrom, no matter how much i want him otl)

it's been like three days and i'm still like... could i see gustav trading away a baby? i might. i just might! lmao i feel you on that holiday movie-style predictability (i swear, once you've seen one hallmark/lifetime channel movie, you've seen them all); i really hope this book has a decent plot ;0;

(even if it's just so lif doesn't end up like another surtr. we've had two chapters and i've already decided he's my favorite, haha. well, unless we get an orange skeleton, i'm legally and morally obligated to like that one best)

Hoy there, everyone. Looks like the Christmas season is almost upon us. How would you guys spend the Holiday season?

- lol, right? Time will tell.

- Yeah, I wish they didn't all have to be armored, but yay niche armor healer? Now we have basically everything. Next thing they'll have to roll out is coloured staves. >.< I do REALLY want to cosplay christmas Eirika. Too bad I have no time to do so and probably wouldn't even get it done for NEXT christmas.

So far I've gotten a whole lot of crap on the christmas banner. I should probably give up and just save for whatever laguz they have in store for us later. :( I ended up with a second Eir after using up my tickets for the fest banner. Would have preferred any of the other ones. Her B skill is unique and interesting, but I don't have anyone who would benefit from it.

I'm out and about - visiting family and friends and the like. I'm also trying to get to 100 ftp orbs - I'm hoping that we get a dark-blessed Legendary Xander or Takumi so it'd be nice to save to get a decent shot at that.

I didn't get anything at all from Hero-fest (my pity rate got to 11% combined between the focus and non-focus 5*'s, so it looks like my lucky run is over. For Tempest Trials I'm mostly running my armour team featuring W!Tharja, LA!Hector, B!Hector and Black Knight. Between them they do alright and B Hector just kills everything while standing there, he'd ridiculous.

Reminds me I am somewhat torn on armours, they are oh so powerful but gosh I hate training them and building them. Poor neglected Winter Chrom and Robin can attest to that.

- I spend Christmas day with my family. But I'm not getting any time off work this year :(

- No, Xander and Takumi have enough alts. :( Give us, I dunno, Sakura, or poor neglected Eliwood. Hector and Lyn both have 4 alts (incl. legendary version), and he has 1.

I got Festive Fae, but none of the others :( I had a 5.75% pity rate, but the whole circle other than Fae was red. She has not good IVs, but she'll be nice to be able to use as a bonus unit next arena season. Might actually try for some armour emblem since she's got the march, or mixed w/tactics depending on the other units. Surtur's been pretty solid this week, Fae can be pretty tank herself, even with a -def IV. Just gotta look out for thems falchions.

Poor Eliwood really did get shafted and I hope they give him a bit more love too. It's be nice to see Seliph and Alm get some attention as well, and I'm genuinely surprised that Alm doesn't have an alt yet.

It's selfish I know, but as a Xander/Takumi fan I can't help but feel a little sad because their OG versions are now outstripped by so many of the recent additions, and (especially with Xander) the goofy holiday versions from last year are really showing their age. King Xander and Sniper/Swordmaster Takumi are very cool designs and I'd love to have them in the game.

- Yeah, Alm deserves an Alt too. Sigurd, Seliph, and Leif could all use some as well. A lot of the OG versions are basically useless now. I was looking at a score calc, and my +10 nino is basically useless in terms of arena scoring, every mage that has come out in the past 4 months has higher scoring potential than her at base level than Nino does at +10.

So far only 5* I've gotten from the banner is a spare :/ seems christmas units and me have a history, took me alot of Google Plays to get Chrom last year. This year I'm not having much luck again.

Currently leveling a team of Subaki, normal Henry ( he might be bottem tier but nice to have a 5* of him incase he's a bonus unit or needed for a quest ), Lewyn, and Eir.

- :( At least they gave us one of them for free this time?

True, had another 5* spook on christmas. >_< It was someone I didn't have this time at lest but I may consider buying another google play. Being hopeful that 4* holiday units being added to the Grail shop actually happens after seeing the Halloween Henry leak

I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas C:

I saw that Innes is on another banner so having no self control I dropped some orbs on his banner and came away with a 5* Nanna. Orb saving has had to start again, and I just really hope that there isn't anyone I desperately need on the New Year banner (watch it be NY Hinoka or NY Oboro)

I've sacked off Armour emblem for TT, at the moment I am using WTharja with Hrid, Gunthraa and Veronica. I love using Hrid, his attack hits 60 and with his skill there isn't a lot he doesn't double. He's so much fun.

Another azura. Please excuse me while I go bash my head against a wall.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas and is happy and full of food!

Sorry I've been a little quiet recently, I've started a new job recently so FEH has been at the back of my mind and I'm feeling a little bit... over it at the moment. Honestly I think Surtr is the problem? Which seems weird but he's really put me off things for being so hideously broken for no good reason, and now we have new broken Azura with three move dance which I hate and Mythic Heroes which are 100% necessary for Aether Raids. So yeah? A little out of it at the moment. And I don't really feel excited by any new banners, it's just... more of the same. Eh. We'll see. I'll stick around for beasts at least, I wanna what they so with them.

- I'm with you. Although, Mythic heroes aren'y necessary for Aether Raids, I find their 'ability' rather useless. And we only have one of them at the moment anyway, so it's not like it really imacts it much at the moment... once we get more we'll see how I feel about it. Aether Raids are p. dumb IMO anyway. I don't have a new job, but one of the docs I work with quit so now I have to work EVERY saturday again, in addition to every other wednesday, so every other week I only get sunday off OTL. They didn't even ask me if I would agree to that, they just stuck me on the schedule, and I was like... Uh no guys, and they were like, too bad, you have to. I should just quit. They'll be REALLY sunk without me. (but then I'll be jobless)
