Nowi more like No Way

Forkball · Jan 31, 2017

I highly doubt the top twenty will change though. Maybe some might move up and down, but I don't know if a new character will sneak in there.

Apologies if this was already covered:

The following comes from a Nintendo spokesperson at a Fire Emblem Heroes hands-on event...

- requires an internet connection at all times
- the game connects to servers intermittently
- the amount of data used is within the normal range you could expect for smart device game

The Verge:
Nintendos Fire Emblem Heroes is a complex strategy game with a free-to-play twist

Quonny · Jan 31, 2017

Well, it's a gacha game. They all require a connection.

Bremsstrahlung · Jan 31, 2017

Welp, cast all my votes.

Hopefully Neph stays in the top 20.

Shoyz · Jan 31, 2017

I hope orbs are farmable rather than an exhaustible resource once you clear all the missions. I hate gacha games where you have no means of farming extra spins. Previews aren't sounding too promising on this front.

NSESN · Jan 31, 2017

I really hope Nintendo releases the full ranking because it would give a good notion of the popularity of each game of the franchise.

spiritfox · Jan 31, 2017

I just want to know who got no votes at all.

The ones where you select Story mode, arena, etc. There's still one that says '???'

I hope she's S-tier and the only S-tier available.

- Spend orbs in the castle to unlock things, very likely it will be used to increase the maximum amount of characters you can have.

Upgrade castle and expand barracks are separate options. The barracks seems to have 200 slots though. Which reminds me I'm also left wondering what exactly one does with duplicate unit pulls (assuming I the pull in one of the Japanese impressions was that).

"It replenishes over time at a rate of about one point per hour to a total of 50". Guess this is a mistake in the article since Polygon said about 5 minutes (which would be 12 per hour) and I've not seen a single screenshot with more than 04:XX on the clock.

With DeNA at the Helm (or at least on the Bridge) and how well FFRK pulls this off (1.2 from daily log in, 13 from weekly event, 16 from monthly dungeon update*) I am hopeful though my gut feeling is it was lower in the early days (though then again dungeon updates had a lot more dungeons in them).

There does seem to be one orb from monthly quests (in the screenshot GameXplain took we saw KO 5 flying foes)

*-The best value pull is 50 (aside from the roughly monthly one time lucky draws which are 25) while here it appears to be 20 so I'd expect about 40% of those numbers.

- All the pre-Awakening archers not named Shinon

And I'm spent. 26 votes for PoR Nephenee between my PC and phone. Fingers crossed she at least beats Mia!

Watch her be a 5-Star/SSR/UR (whatever they are called here) "early bird login reward", sitting in everybody's present box at release and people will lose it.

my NA account spread out across most of my favorite Fates characters

Not a 1-star* Arthur, smh But yes, that art style is perfect. lol Liking shots #2 and #3 a lot. #1 not HEROIC enough tho.

*(Wait, are there 1-stars? I only recall 3 through 5)

Drops are capable of being one stars. Stahl in the direct was a one star and I've seen a one star Lissa from the preview videos posted today.

cubicle47b · Jan 31, 2017

I was going to vote for a different character each time, but ended up voting for Hector 5 times after the initial results were released.

ShinRPGamer · Jan 31, 2017

Nothing to do now but wait and see just how shit the fandom's tastes are.

I see, I see. Tempted to train up a 1-star unit all the way to 5-star just to see if they really do match up in the end. Little more work than training a 3-star though and I suppose I could just train a 4-star...

I rather not grind much lol. but thinking back, grinding 1* character might be ok since you still need tons of sp to properly get skills etc. by the time that character is 5*, sp accumulated should be a lot.
btw, i'm not sure if I missed it in some of the previews, but do skills etc retained when ranking up characters?

At least from what I've heard from one place, yes, skills are kept.

It is a shame generics and one-off minor bosses won't be considered - a couple in Awakening and Fates had better designs than the main cast.

I don't even care for Virion, but his art looks great.

hmm, now I wonder whether 5* from get go vs 5* grinded from 1* will have the same amount of skills available for use or not
