If the character has an Amiibo, they will show up in the game in some form. So Alm, Roy, and Ike are definite shoe-ins.

[Rumour] Fire Emblem Warriors Roster Possibly Leaked?

Ignoring the legitimacy of the leak, Lyn, the "old" character, not only ranked higher than Tharja in the CYL poll but also won the most votes on the ladies side and was 2nd overall if you account the Ike's together.
Also congrats on understanding how a good chunk of us felt when it was announced that Warriors would be a FE 11-14 affair.
Also haven't been paying much attention to to the extra modes, but have they mentioned if this is going to have something similar to the Adventure maps from Hyrule Warriors?
It would be great if the equivalent was something like the strategy-based phases from Samurai Warriors Empires.
There's multiple faction and phases, and you have to defend your territory from invasion while also expanding your own.
There's a preparation phase where you appoint members of your army and put them in charge of various resources or political dealings. It would fit really really well with the emphasis on strategy that FE is known for.
Then again, the first part wouldn't really fit, cause there would need to be multiple factions for the defense/offense part to really work, and I don't see this game doing that.

Seems so odd to me that after sticking with a seemingly Fates/Awakening/shadow dragon angle there's suddenly Lyn and Celica on the end there.
Though that character popularity poll and recent title advertising could go a ways to explain them as the outliers.
Initially I was amazed that they'd skip over Tharja, then I realised that much like Ike and (probably) Roy, Tharja would be easy DLC money for them.
I just wanted The Black Knight guys, I guess I was thinking too pie in the sky.

It will have History Mode, in which you fight on retro-style Fire Emblem maps retelling the story of past games, so yeah it's sort of an Adventure mode.
Mmh, interesting, can't picture how it would work right now though, by retro-style you mean similar to actual FE gameplay, turn-based?
On a 2D map, a muso battle starts when units touch on the map, famitsu had some pics a while ago I think
No, I had already cancelled it. For some reason I am not feeling this game.
This rumor reassures my decision.
Maybe it is, but one of the major pulls if these crossovers is the roster, yes? It's understandable.

Probably? It's still technically rumour at the moment, but I would be very surprised if she's anything other than a mage focused on Fire spells, with Ragnarok as her special attack thing.

Lyn would save this crappy roster.

At east we only have to wait until tomorrow to find out more details about the rest of the characters.
Well at least you probably have a better reason that I do about why I'm not getting this game.

No, the travesty is that Radiance, Genealogy, and Blazing Sword don't exist on this roster in favor of just having the roster of the Faia Emburem: Waifu Wars duology, padded out with alt-versions of characters worse than Mario Kart's Metal/Child characters.
Ohhhhh, I hadn't thought about this at all for some reason. I would 100% buy a Lyn amiibo.
Hm, I wonder if the Fates royals'll, lissa, fred, and F Robin will get amiibo for this too...

Interesting that they seemingly haven't included Darius, one of the original characters for the game, as playable character in the base game? I guess him (and whichever original antagonists that'll show up) will be playable in a future patch like they did with the Cia, Volga and Wizzro in WiiU Hyrule Warriors.
I'm actually wondering if he's
an antagonist, he's the prince/king? of Guston or whatever, and I recall seeing footage somewhere enemy soldiers called Guston army or whatever. (I probably have the kingdom name wrong here, I know it starts with a G)
IDK if these are spoilers, just something I noticed in a gameplay video somwhere

I hope the rest of the direct is leaked beforehand, so I know if I should be hyped or not
tbh, not happy about celica and lyn.
I'd be happy with celica and alm, or lyn and (hector or ike).
But the two of them basically means waifu emblem.
It's been this way for a while. It sucks but that's what it is.
Unfortunately they did still represent echoes and snuck in best girl to boot(lyn) which means my purchase is locked in depending on how she plays.
I feel like a sellout

So nothing's changed?
nah, it used to be husbando emblem as well. Int sys always treated their female base well lol.
Is this satire? Lyn is one of the most popular characters, and ranked considerably higher than Tharja in the Heroes poll.
Anyway, I'm still struggling to be interested in this. If the leaked roster is true then there's finally a few characters that I'd be excited for (Lyn, Caeda & Celica), but with 90% of the lineup coming from two of the worst games in the series, it's still pretty bad. Maybe I'll pick it up later on if we get more Fire Emblem 6-12 characters as DLC.
Now I'm really hoping for a Lyn amiibo though.
Very much the theme of the Nintendo crossovers. It wasn't much better in Hyrule Warriors, lol.

after announcing history mode, I wouldve rather them have kept the character focus on the 3 games already announced. Save lyn for a sequel with a blazing blade history mode.
Her inclusion wouldn't rule out an additional episode for that mode, I think, though it would obviously be tied to DLC that they'd be doing that included her fellow comrades.
Alm would just be another generic sword lord gameplay-wise though.
Give him Parthia and have glorious bow lord.

50,000 gold.
You will have to spend in-game money every time you deploy him.

Discount if Izuka is the target tho!

yea but if they didnt include her they couldve fit more characters into the current focused games. To me with the way they set up the content here it feels like keeping the game count low and the character count high would work out really well, letting sequels handle more games with those games characters.
Do you only play Fire Emblem for the Story or characters? Because I don't see how someone would choose the gameplay in Echoes over FE Fates Conquest.
Not even sure what your point is here. Did you quote the right post? If you're complaining that Celica got in it's because Echoes is the most recent FE. I'd say they padded this game with enough popular choices to allow this one exception.
I don't really mind who they pick. I like Celica, even if the combat/maps in Echoes are among my least favourite.
I just don't see how Awakening and Fates are the two worst games in the series, unless you only play the series for the story/characters. If he meant that they were the two worst character rosters in the game, I could understand it (even if I disagree).

Edit: nevermind, my browser wasn't working (thought the LE box pics were taken down)
Ah, I didn't see the part where he said that. I actually agree with you on that. Even still I wish they would have mixed it up more.

it's team ninja tho. they don't care much like intsys :v
Gameplay and story/characters are equally important to me. If you consider how utter garbage fates is in the latter category, I'd pick Echoes any day.

lol I love Volke. Shame they couldn't really find a place for him in Radiant Dawn, still got to act like a badass right near the end but I think if they gave him more time in the spotlight he'd be a real fan favourite.
Considering how long-lasting the support was for Hyrule Warriors, I imagine that they'll keep doing that instead. I know not everyone that people wanted made it into that game, but it's crazy that they came as close as they did.
