Splurged and finally got the artbook I been wanting since it was first announced so many years ago. :]
Third expansion set is going to have some Tellius characters. I'll be real though, alot of the art in the first set .... is not good though, so I wouldnt' have high expectations.
We'll see. I'm curious at least.

What are you talking aboooaaauuuguhhh
Chance of Nephenee being a moe blob is 80%. I mean look at what they did to Olivia.
I would buy ten boxes of Sacred Stones and Gaiden
not really but I'd probably buy two of each right off the bat

I'd burn that card
We already used that joke in one of the Fates pandering threads!

Don't worry, once the real Fates OT goes up
Flora's death means we can start making even more fire jokes
Just how many Chrom cards are there?
5 at this moment.

I love how Aveyn Knight made this so convenient to look up (just pointing the link out as the site is really convenient).

You can thank the editors on the wiki; I'm just providing a place for them to write about the TCG ^^
Sadly I've been too busy with Fates alone to do anything major on the TCG side.

Every single time a new game comes out people fall for confirmation bias and think "it feels like 1 RN now!"
When will these fools learn their lesson.
When will these fools learn their lesson.
Never.
For all our pattern recognition skills, humans are terrible at probabilities. The dual RNG of Fire Emblem is there to make it "feel" right, but the RNG giveth and taketh away and you only really remember those times where it went against you when you expected otherwise. So, when enough "wrongs" happen, despite that even with dual RNG, a 99% hit rate will miss eventually, people start questioning if it's actually fair.

Why are strippers at the U.N. bad when they're great at strip clubs???
I've just seen pictures of a beach scenario wut?!
Is this new DLC or part of the third route DLC that was recently launched?

It's DLC. Nintendo uploaded some DLC early and people managed to get it from the server due to some authorization flaw. There was also an Awakening crossover DLC with
Great Lord (female-only) and Lodestar(male only) seals as rewards (only one per file)
They haven't announced any more DLC officially though, so we don't know when they'll be released.

The prices for the future DLC aren't known. Like I said above, Nintendo hasn't announced anything beyond the 3rd route officially.
For those, it's only their names though, they apparently aren't playable and the weapon one might not even be that, since it's just people speculating based on the name.
There aren't tons of unique legendary weapons from past games lying around in Fates so far though, unlike in Awakening, so unless those weapons are actually added by the DLC itself, I don't think it'd be focused on that. Even the ones that are already in the game would need to be tweaked first, like how the Ragnell is locked to the Ike Amiibo, so the DLC would need to add a version that can be used by anyone if they wanted to throw the Ragnell there. Most new unique weapons here are character locked too, with only 5 or so unique S ranking weapons that can be used by anyone (and S ranking this time is locked to single weapon classes).

My lame contribution to the thread...
So I haven't played an FE game since the GBA titles (still got em too) and now I'm about 20 hours into Awakening and omg it's soooo good. I'll have to go back and play the GC and Wii titles now, I forgot how good these games are.
It was getting a tiny bit challenging too until I realised I hadn't used any Master Seals or permanent stat increase items, now that I've used a bunch of Master Seals I'm carving my way through the Risen. Some great characters in this one too, Kellam is my man, Henry is hilariously evil, Virion is super smooth. Lots of lol moments, good story too!

The top one on this list is a SR, not sure if that one has a signed version. The SR version is holo, the SR+ is holo + gold print on it.
You can buy them from Amazon (recommended if you're only buying one box) or AmiAmi (if you're buying multiple items (starter decks/sleeves) as the shipping hit is not as large then)), however since it's a tcg its a random chance of getting that card from a box (4 SRs in a box, and there's 12 different SRs atm).
Sweet. I just want the Tharja cards. lol No chance these will ever be released in NA, huh?
I've been playing FE again, mostly the older ones. Specifically FE6, FE9, and FE10. Did FE9 for the transfers and the story and I got to say, while I don't agree with people that it's the best written in the series (FE8 is), it's one of the more solid entries. Difficulty is a joke though, but that's filer/paladin aizenstomp for you.
Also this is the best cast in the series. Yeah, the FE13 ones have more dialogue and quotes and shit, but most of the Tellius characters actually feel like real people. I know like a page ago, someone mentioned Nephenee being kind of boring, and while she's not the most interesting one, she's still more tolerable than most of the idiots in Awakening. They do a good job capturing her as a shy, timid farm girl thrust into a war she's unprepared for. Even quirkier characters like Devdan and Bastian have quite a bit to them, Devdan in particular, and they're quirks are more down to earth and not shoved in your face constantly. I guess the only characters I really dislike are Ilyana (gimmicky as shit), Tibarn (who unintentionally comes across like a psychopath), and Ike (because he's a boring as shit Gary Stu with no personality).
Also on another note, I really like how there are variations on supports depending on if certain characters are dead. I don't know why Awakening or New Mystery didn't do that.
FE10 is really solid too. It really focuses a lot more on the strategic/tactical aspect on the game than on the character building part. Generally it's really inefficient to try to raise too many units; you're given limited resources and the key to success is to concentrate them into a few units. Even then, lowmanning/godmoding is still nowhere near as effective as in FE13 because it only becomes possible in like, Part 4, and even then it's mostly limited to like Jill and Haar.
I know a lot of people hate the Part 1 maps, especially the early ones, but I actually really liked them. It was nice having to think of what to do with a weak team with limited resources against stronger opponents and it was always fair about it too.
A short summary of my HM playthrough so far:
Part 1: Volug and Sothe Ramirez! Do everything! Nolan and Jill scrounge up as much exp as they can.
Part 2: Nephenee with transfers owns. Also this is probably the best written part in the series.
Part 3: Haar, Titania (T), and Oscar (T) aizenstomp. Boyd (T) and Nephenee (T) are amazing. Ike and Mia kind of help out but are honestly chumps compared to the rest. Jill, Nolan, Volug, and to a lesser extent, Sothe, carry the Dawn Brigade. Not at Part 4 yet.
FE6 is really underrated too, it's up there with FE10 and FE12 for best map design in the series. Also a lot of the characters are underrated. Treck in particular is the funniest motherfucker in the series. I'd post more but this is long enough as is so fuck it.

When will these release?
September 17 in Japan.
Series three is Path of Radiance, right?
Oh, I guess I misunderstood way back when, I didn't realize there was going to be two Fates sets, not that it doesn't make sense, though.
Hm... I'm not really interested in PoR characters, myself...
Honestly, I"m really not sure about it myself ... I'm trying to find the source (thought it was on SF) and I can't right now, but I know at least half the set is PoR.
Found it.
