I Got Incredibly Lucky With The Spring Banner And With Little Over 200 Orbs I Went From Having Zero Of

I got incredibly lucky with the spring banner and with little over 200 orbs I went from having zero of the 1st year's bunnies, to having all of them. Which means in one clean swoop I completed both my Camilla and Lucina Collection (and Chrom collection, but there's no space for him).

I must say, having a goal in mind makes playing the game a lot more fun, so I'm really glad I decided to strive for a complete collection ever since Brave Camilla.

But now I need to find some other goal (unless Bride Camilla is coming, but you didn't hear it from me). I was thinking about completing all the CYL heroines which wouldn't be too hard. I already have all Celicas (including Duo Alm), all Lucinas, all Micaiahs and all Camillas. I'm missing only one Lyn (the Bride which I can try for in a month), one Veronica (the Mythic one which could be a little tricky depending on my luck) and I already have base Edelgard and Lysithea and considering I get one of them for free it means I basically need to hunt for 3 units.

Wish me luck, and let's hope the new banners don't distract me too much.

Holy crap, what is wrong with people?!

I'm hearing of people receiving death threats over a stupid popularity contest. Of voice actors getting harassed by salty people. This is wild!

I thought the Camilla hate in CYL 3 was horrible but at least there were no death threats (that I know of) and people didn't harass her VA or the Fates team or anyone. Man, I'm sorry for you all Gatekeeper fans that have to put up with this crap, and I'm sorry for McCarley.

The "Fire Emblem fans" that complained to him personally on Twitter are not clowns, they are the entire circus! How did they come to the conclusion that what they did was in any way reasonable? Even if there was actually something wrong with GK's high placement (like botted votes) you should go complain to IS, not some innocent voice actor.

Sheesh, it's scary what this popularity contest can do to people. It's a good thing I don't use twitter and can't see the worst of it.

But even here I see some bad takes that put a bad taste in my mouth. What I'm about to say should be obvious to anyone over the age of 6 but maybe some of you never grew up.

Everyone is allowed to their opinion, but you also have to RESPECT people who have the opposite opinion as you.

Just because you can't see anything good about a character it doesn't mean that something isn't there, just that the character is not for you. And there's no such thing as a "fake character" or "unworthy character".

Every single character votable in CYL has a personality and a role they play.

Even the one-off bosses like Gromell (his personality is being cocky and dumb), Haitaka (his personality is being extremely loyal to his country and nationalistic) and Brigand Boss (his personality is being a low-life as*hole who kidnaps young girls to do horrible things to them. Completely unredeemable bad guy).

And for the rare cases like Cain from Thracia and his one line of dialogue, or Altina and her zero lines of dialogue, getting in the game can be an opportunity to actually give them a personality. It worked wonders for Altina and other very minor characters like Ronan, Mustafa and Leila, so what's the loss if a character wins/gets in instead of another?

No vote is a wrong vote, and no character is a non-character, least of all the sweet Gatekeeper, so stop being mean to him!

And Gatekeeper supporters, don't think you are completely off the hook. I've seen some of you acting pretty bad too (bad apples are in every group larger than 5 people after all). You are right to defend your fave, but don't do so by saying he has way more personality and character than Chrom (worded in a way to make it seem like Chrom has no personality) to the Chrom stans for example. It's possible to praise a character without bringing every other character down, and every single votable character is surely someone's favorite and there really is no need to call them bad and boring and their fans stupid. Remaining civilized and being careful not to be mean to other people even unintentionally should be the main goal here. At the end of the day this game could close down before they even make this year's brave banner so what's the point of fighting like animals?

To all the people who vote for a top scoring character hoping that they can keep their position or rise to the podium, you are all valid.

And to all the people who are voting other characters, keep doing you! Your fave isn't less deserving of a vote than any other character who is more "popular" or "important".

Anyway, before I forget, I voted for Eirika today too, gotta keep her first.

A bit late, but here are my choices for the voting jubilee thingy!

Hanneman was an obvious pick for best teacher. He is full of knowledge but also patient with his students, even if they are a lost cause (see the Alois support).

After choosing him I realized that we weren't limited to actual teachers but also people who can teach us how to fight. If I went with that particular interpretation I would have picked Tanith. Sure Marcia calls her a DEMON INSTRUCTOR, but if she's strict it's because she cares obviously.

For the second pick, Dancing Neph is adorable but she really needs a partner.

I picked Heather because I'm a filthy shipper, but you are completely valid if you paired her with Brom or Meg, or even Calill.

Then the third choice was a really hard one. There are tons of simpatetic villains and enemy bosses in Fire Emblem, and even if a seriously considered picking my wife Aversa, in the end I had to go with the villain that made me really feel bad from my first FE. What an introduction to the big sad that is this franchise she was. Plus she is still not in Heroes for some stupid reason.

Remember, if you have a strong opinion or suggestion about the state of the game right now you can send feedback and let IS know. It's not like they didn't listen to the community in the past. Remember the AyraGate controversy? Remember that votes weren't combined in the old CYL events? Remember how well Relay defense was received?

The developes aren't above listening to players feedback. If enough people explain to IS in a civil and reasomable way exactly what's wrong with the pass, they can change it. For me the real problem was the QoL stuff being exclusive to paying players. But if you think that the problem with the pass is that it's too expensive, or something else LET THE DEVELOPERS KNOW.

But be aware that a generic "the pass sucks, scrap it" won't work because it was probably a decision made by Nintendo itself because they think their mobile games need monthly subscriptions.

The pass is here to stay, but if we make an effort as a community we can change it so that paying customers feel like their money was spent on something useful and the F2P people don't feel like they're missing out on stuff that should have been for everyone.

If enough of us give constructive criticism we can stop IS from making the situation even worse in the future with horsesh*t like better odds to pull a five star if you have the Feh pass or who knows what else.

This is an important matter that could change the game forever. We should all voice our opinion about it

My vote for day 3 is Phila from Awakening.

Look for the brief time she was in the game she seemed like a nice character and one of the best things Heroes does is giving spotlight to forgotten characters.

Remember what happened with Mustafa? Can it happen again but with Phila?

Young Lucina is great, you are 100% correct!

There's a lot of resplendent that I don't like, some I only dislike because the OG art is already great, so others needed it more.

Them they release Lucina resplendent art, everyone is hating on it and even though she looks so young, I freaking loved!!!!

It's like we got a young Lucina, just like Caeda and Marth
