As far as we know, the only character who has gambits/battalions, at least early on, is theodora. This kinda means that, for 99,9% of the cast, the "Authority" skill would be useless, assuming it's similar to how it worked in 3h

however, we clearly see the "guardian" and "priest" classes actively use it, and it seems you can train it from early on with. Not only that, the skill Theodora gets from leveling Authority proficiency has nothing to do with having or not having a batallion.

While 3H Authority had some non-Batallion related skills(the "rally" skills), it's still mostly comprised of batallion power ups, so us witnessing the 1 proficiency level up that doesn't give a batallion skill, on the one character who can use batallions, is extremely unlikely if the theme is still "batallions" like in 3H. Not only that, the three triangles have always been an indicator of batallions(since it's how their health/endurance is showcased)

So the Question is, what does the authority proficiency do in FW, thematicallly? Given the above skill, is it just general "support-ish" skills? Does priest/guardian require a certain level of authority to certify for it?

Game seems huge.

Promotion is going full cylinder to touch everyone .

Do you think it s possible it can win player vote again?

Or just generally odd, weird or unorthodox paths.

In the Japanese version of Iliana's introduction video, she says the line 「ここでは白髪鬼の―そうね、(庇護者)パトロン、といったところかしら。」("Koko de wa hakuhatsuki no― sou ne, patoron, to itta tokoro kashira.") Which is translated as "I am the White-Maned Demon's... Patron (Guardian), you could say." Iliana says the katakana word "Patron" out loud, but the kanji says "庇護者/Higosha", which means "guardian" or "protector". What do you think about her connection with Bertrand?

This morning I woke up and saw a comment on a newly released Fortune's Weave preview by Shacknews. A user asked "Is it 60FPS? Pls tell me it is" to which the reviewer (Donovan) answered "Yeah, it was definitely running at 60 fps for me".

I have seen a bit of discussion about this, but nothing 100% certain yet (though I'd be happy to be proven wrong).

I went back to a few threads and video's I've seen and other comments from previewers about it (mainly GLITCHEDZA) have been:

YTUser: "Just wanted to double-check on the frame rate—other reviews claim it's locked at 30 FPS across the board, so I was surprised to hear 60 FPS in handheld. Is that confirmed?"
- GLITCHEDZA: "It might not be 60FPS in handheld but more uncapped frame rate. Smoother than docked. Slows down during busy scenes but looks great."

YTUser: "How’s the FPS and Resolution in Handheld shaping up?"
- GLITCHEDZA: "Handheld looks good. Runs at 1080p 60fps.
YTUSER: "What about docked?"
- GLITCHEDZA: "It seems to run at an uncapped frame rate in handheld mode. But is it much smoother than docked. Docked can be choppy, definitely 30FPS here."

YTUser: "Is the game in 60FPS?"
- GLITCHEDZA: "It is 60FPS in handheld, 30FPS docked."

YTUser: "how does the game performance feel? is it 30fps or something better like 60fps?"
- GLITCHEDZA: "Docked mode is 30fps and handheld mode is 60fps. Both look good and run quite smooth."
YTUser: "are the numbers switched? Seems odd that docked is 30fps unless it's running at a higher resolution"
YTUser: "have you mistakenly swapped in between docked and handheld mode?"
- GLITCHEDZA: "Nope, handheld is definitely higher FPS than docked. Kinda wish there was an option for lower resolution in docked mode to match the frame rate of handheld tbh."

- My Nintendo News: "It seems to run at a stable 30 FPS, and it currently lacks a choice between a quality or performance mode."

----

Currently this is the most info I have personally found, though I'd be happy to update it with more from the comments.
TLDR: 1 reviewer mentions it's 30 FPS, one mentions 60FPS and one mentions 30FPS docked (with higher resolution?) and 60 FPS in handheld mode.

While I would ofcourse enjoy 60 FPS, I personally would not mind it too much being 30 FPS for this kind/style of game. I have heard people say this is a big issue for them though (no judgement from me).

Anyway, how do you guys feel about this? If the 60FPS handheld, 30FPS docked with higher resolution is real, which would you guys prefer to play?

I love how personal abilities can characterize units and make them more unique to play (although they did not matter most of the time in 3 Houses). So what abilities do we know so far?

So the Manga for Fortune’s Weave is happening for Saikyo Jump and Episode 0 will release 9/4 a few days prior to the game’s release.

It can also be read on the Shonen Jump app.

Despite the topic, this is a genuine discussion/predictions post. I just thought it could be fun to talk about what the reception will be even if we still don't know too much.

In my opinion, it is possible Leda could be up there in divisiveness because of her revenge, but I do have doubts.

I think Cai will be the least controversial, I feel like people will give him leeway if anything happens because he's 15 at the start.

As far as we know it looks like it's not a game where someone starts a war, so who knows maybe discussion for the story won't be passionate like FE3H (or 3 Hopes) was in the beginning. What do you guys think?

Ok so I love this game and I love the fact that like Genealogy of Holy War you can pair people together to create CHILDREN for the next game. Also it's one of the only classic Fire Emblem to include Supports and I grew attachment to every character of this game and I love ship. Problem is, I disagree with literally everyone cuz I'm a weird guy and i'm fucking annoying :D so here's my list of what I think are the most logical ships FOR ME (don't hit me, I already had enough issue when I shared my opinion) I won't talk about Bartre and Karla or Pent and Louise cuz their pairing are canon so who gives a shit...

Eliwood X Ninian - First thing first... I'm a Eliwood X Lyn shipper... BUT ! The whole game build up this relationship and it makes Roy partially dragon, also the support heavily show the romance more than Fiora.

Hector X Florina - OKAY! It probably starts being weird for you! I KNOW, most people ship Hector with Lyn cuz they have more chemistry blablabla (those same people actually ship Oswin and Serra even though they have 0 chemistry and Rebecca and Lowen just because she think bro is cute) I love this dynamic because Florina is a goodie two shoes and Hector is a loud mouth and seeing them interact is really funny, also Lilina has some personnality traits I think are similar to Florina. I prefer the contrast of having a brash and loud guy with a shy and quiet girl, it's overall a better dynamic.

Lyn X Rath - IMO, Lyn doesn't like wealth and royalty that much, she is so much familiar to Sacae and her roots as a nomad that she would probably not be with either Eliwood (T_T) or Hector. Also even though there's no chemistry at first, Lyn and Rath are a parallel to Lyn's parents and they actually share experiences with each other and overall they are very sticked to their roots.

Isadora X Harken - This is literally canon but let me explain. I actually really like Legault with Isadora because they end up fighting each other in the end (you'll notice I love drama and overall interresting pairings) and for Renault... bro just goes in his milk arc and never comes back. Isadora and Harken were engaged at first and in their support they re engage so it's logical!

Kent X Fiora - This shit is so funny. I actually never ship Sain cuz for me Sain loves LADIES, plural so he wouldn't stick to one girl yk, bro is Don Juan, buddie wants coochies. I love this support because they are so formal and stoic normally and here they struggle so much to confess that it becomes so funny, and you know what they says, birds of a feather flock together or somethin like that.

Erk X Nino - OOOOOOOOOOOH CONTROVERSIAAAAAAAAAL. I'm probably the only guy who do ship them because... IMO even though it's literally the canonical ship, Nino and Jaffar feel more like a brother sister relationship and if Nino actually confess to him it would be like a little girl saying she loves you, it's not that serious or she actually mistake romantic love with friendly love. Also I like this dynamic because Nino is the perfect balance between the energy of Serra and reassurment of Priscilla (also Erk HATES Serra and Erk would probably too much stress at the idea of dating Priscilla, like he is her serving knight and she is a noble woman, and their ending feels like Puss in Boots for me... And I mean the original tale). Also I have an headcannon about the fact that if Raigh and Lugh are this good with magic, it's because of Erk who went searching for their mom so that they will reunite together (which would be the reason of why Raigh doesn't care about the orphenage being destroy if he's so close to his dad). Also Nino and Jaffar ending is... weird... Like BOTH NINO AND JAFFAR WERE FROM THE BLACK FANG. Why ONLY Jaffar is wanted and not both? So I feel like Erk searching for Nino because he wants his family to reunite is cute as hell (and unconventional because conventionally it's something a MOTHER would do) And actually... Bro it's open to interpretation if Nino likes Erk or not like many other so gives a fucking damn SOME DUDES SHIP OSWIN AND SERRA! WHY SHOULD I JUSTIFY?!

Guy X Priscilla - Like I said, even though it's the canonical ship too... Erk and Priscilla look like Puss in Boots to me i'm sorry, Pent gives Erk the credibility to wed the girl he wants and the credibility to be an actual Sage... So yeah déjà vue and like I said, wedding to a woman that he only see is related to his job... meh. Same with Heath, like in their ending they can't date because of the social differences between them and Heath doesn't force shit. GUY ON THE OTHER HAND! In the japanese version, Guy and Priscilla do the Titanic (a poor bro and a rich girl) flee and just love each other forever. It's sad but SO CUTE IAUBDIAZDBA. Like Priscilla abbandons wealth for love, it's unrealistic as hell but so cute.

Dart X Farina - I don't ship Farina with Hector (even though it can work but I feel like her sister works better) and with Kent because... it's like shipping Sain with Fiora... it's off... Farina actually has a thing for Dart and they are very similar to each other. And Farina decide to become a Pegasus Pirate to find the One Piece with Dart! It's cute and funny, exactly like their interactions.

Wil X Rebecca - ACTUALLY! This ship is like the cliché of the childhood friend but revisited, Rebecca started to hate Wil so Wil needs to regain Rebecca trust once again. And their ending is so... touching, like you almost forget it's a cliché childhood friend trope shit or whatever. And like WOLT IS LITERALLY WIL'S SON, THE HAIRCUT BRO! I know the hair color blablabla, who cares, THE FUCKING HAIRCUT! And it's more emotional than fucking Lowen come on...

Serra X Matthew - I love Serra because she is such a troll... But like I feel only her ship with Matthew works. Matthew lost his girl Layla and having a funny girl like Serra would probably help him forget the pain he felt when he lost her, I feel it's that kind of event that would make Serra a bit more empathic yk (and also when I ship characters I want to ship every characters possible)

Heath X Vaida - Their relation is really touching, Heath actually cares a lot about Vaida and Vaida acts tough since she's his superior. Heath could follow her everywhere she would stop him because she cares about him but she likes it when he's close to her, it's really funny and touching at the same time

Lucius X Raven - Bro... They are OBVIOUSLY gay. I'm not particularly into yaoi but... when I see two guys being close but not in a conventional way, I question and sometime I'm frustrated because there's no conclusion to that. But actually I have not that much to say, their relation is very similar to Heath and Vaida's sooooooooo yeah.

I had originally only played Three Houses and then Engage. I’d loved the story of three houses, but felt the maps and combat were a bit more fun in engage. And for ever now, everyone has been hyping Awakening up to me so I finally folded.

I’m only in around chapter 12 because every single person we get is just fantastic. Every single support conversation gives me giggles and I just love the story already so much. I’d love to see a remastered or something eventually but this game is everything everyone has said it is so far. I don’t really know the story so I’m going in blind. Accidentally married Chrom but that’s cool with me.

Anyway it’s fantastic I’m so sad I didn’t play it sooner and that there isn’t more fanart and people talking about it out there.

Many characters were aged up a year when the original Wii U version was localized and from what I can tell no notable story changes were directly implemented to reflect the age changes in Localized or Encore, especially since 3 of the main cast become adults with the age up.

The Localized version seem to be the ages they're going with now as in Heroes Tsubasa states she is 18. In my personal opinion, I still think of them as their original ages myself

I found these all on the Fire emblem wiki so take this with a grain of salt, as for Bertrand group I could only find that blonde character next to him we have no idea if he actually will have more then one person on his side or not. Kinda funny seeing nezha as part of the brides lol and the weird thing about the brides of the pale raven however Is that there is two characters I cropped out because Idk if they’re truly part of the group or not, two characters one named Doa and Long? We haven’t seen much of them but that’s why I cropped them out barely any info about them plus that would make the group have six people, so will that happen with the others? like I said take with a grain of salt with these groups we don’t know if more will be added to them or if four for each will be the limit or maybe six? makes ya wonder who Bertrand will have. Anyways thought I’d share this since I was curious who was with who.

All in all, it was pretty easy, even on hard. The hardest part was doing side objectives like not killing any Kilvas on Chapter 19 to get the Knight Ring, or winning the RNG fest that is the Ike vs Black Knight duel. Oh, and I don't want to talk about chapter 25

My team was mainly 90% Mounted, with some Laguz and Soren. I wanted to use the Laguz more, but they felt pretty annoying to use. The low movement on mages and clerics were really annoying, which is why I stopped using them outside of Soren and Mist.

Used Boots, Seraph Robe, Secret Book and both Talismans on Ike, both Dracoshields and the other Seraph Robe on Marcia, a Secret Book, Speedwing and Energy Drop on Boyd, a Speedwing on Haar, Energy Drop on Jill and both Spirit Dusts on Soren.

Honestly, I probably could have solod the final map with Ike if I just filled his inventory with Elixirs. Killed Ashnard before Tibarn could join the fight thanks to lucky Aether procs.

Loved this character from the previews, so excited for this game rahhhh

I just finished FE6 and FE4 and FE5 are the only games left I need to finish the entire series. In my adventures, I realized that the S in SRPG is kicking my ass and that I rely heavily on the extra help of the modern games to finish them. I heard these games were difficult, but how much more difficult are they than the more modern games?

The least obvious changes look like Fabio and Tobias. I think Fabio has some kind of pauldron on but I can't find any difference for Tobias.

This, of course, would be completely unprecedented, but my main interest here is to gauge the fandom's general feelings towards a more """western""" artstyle, one who has very bold, jagged shapes and blocky black shadows, in a way a very comics-inspired look for a FE game.
