It really reached a point that they already put almost everyone who actually matters in this game.
the game still has a tragic lack of Gonzalez

That's why I said Almost.
By the way, is there anyone left in Thracia worthy bringing it?

It seems like they realized it and are going forward with the new countries/parts of nordic mithology.

green reinhardt
and also a colorless reinhardt
and also a new purple reinhardt that has advantage over all other types and gives +10 to all other allied reinhardts on the field
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
for real though
the most i can really think of are Orsin for Pugi memes, Travant for being the main villain of the game, Sara for being Not-Julia, Mareeta for being the token Chick With A Sword, Shannam cuz he fuckin' rules, and Ilios for having the best ending in any fire emblem game, along with the mentioned Marty and Dagdar of course.
if Eyvel gets in before Brighid i am straight up throwing something
Decided to start running the new TT with Alfonse, Eir, Fjorm, and Valentine Lilina (getting close to 5000 TMing her).
Holy cow, Alfonse can be great with some work. Granted, he's slow as can be, but he can hit hard and take a beating. Granted, he's supporting with Eir and has a Res Weapon refinery. I'm throwing into harms way, and he's hitting back. Love it so far. Also, Eir is pretty awesome too.
Those New Year's Bundle are so fucking stupid.
I hate everyone who are richer than me.
Free rolled Gunnthra.

The five axe general.
Marty.
we need the real gay representation in the series (Dagdar and Marty), not the reactionary after-the-fact gay added to Radiant Dawn that was at the expense of Soren's entire character
Christ, I got Gunthra twice. She's handy, but not super wanted.
Had 9 characters to level for January. The problem was, it was basically 5 useful characters and four mediocre characters. And for some reason, I decided to level 4 of the useful characters (Ike+1, Legendary Azura, Walhart, Ophelia) in one of the easiest and painless Training Tower swoops ever.
Now I'm stuck leveling Ninian+1 (who is fine), Lukas+1, Christmas Cecilia, and New Years Camilla. And the process is painful and dull.
Oh my. Nintendo, this is not the way to do it.

Actually if you're Nintendo wrong is how you do it.
Meanwhile….
I feel like this needs a little bit more context. New Years is a pretty big holiday for other Mobile Gacha type games, where players tend to either get tons of free stuff, or at least generous (well, by gacha standards) value deals.
-Granblue Fantasy had a special login bonus everyday for two weeks where you had a chance to win 10, 20, 30 or even 100 free rolls, or even a chance to "keep summoning until you get an SSR." It sounded fucking nuts.
-Dragalia Lost, the other Nintendo published gacha (although it's really more of a Cygames product, I think), has 40+ summons worth of login bonuses across a week long period, and multiple New Years bundles with various price ranges from $8 to $80 covering basically any level of spender, not just whales.
-Even Fate/Grand Order, which is probably the stingiest of the mega-popular/successful gachas (and much moreso than FEH), usually has a few minor-but-above-average login bonuses, and special rate-ups where you can spend $30 worth of "paid-only" summoning currency to 10xRoll and guarantee at least one 5* unit (in a game with 1% 5* rates). And the current one on the JP version specifically is half the usual cost at $15, and consists of a pool of every single limited unit in the game's history. Sure you could still get unlucky and get a duplicate, but it's still for the most part a better and cheaper "value deal" than FEH's NY bundle, if only just because of how much rarer 5*s usually are.
Compare all that to FEH's New Year, which has no particularly special login bonuses compared to the usual, and a value-pack that's only marginally better than a standard whale-pack. On it's own it's just an unappealing deal, but compared to it's competition it's just pathetic. No wonder they'd be extra mad.
I'm at 411 orbs…
They gave two herons. Instead of giving us Ranulf or any other cat laguz, they gave us TWO herons.
Please end my life.
Naesala is free
Reyson is the most likely demote
Awww yeah.
Thank GOD for Nailah, because I will roll for best Laguz mom. And maybe Reyson.
BUT UGGGGGGGGGGGH! Ranulf is the 69th and 87th most voted character! Nailah (though I love her), Leane, and Reyson didn't even break Top 100! But fine! It's fine. It's fine. It's fine! It is fine. It's fine. It's fine! IT'S FINE! I'll just wait 8 months until the next Radiantce banner. Cause we need to give Fate characters 10 more alts.
I guess I'm not going to get Panne until Easter.
AHHHHHH I need them all.
I really wish they had exchanged one of the herons for a feline laguz. But oh well, Nailah is here, her art is everything I was sure it wouldn't be (thank god) and once the laguz are in, it is only a matter of time until the others start getting in.
Also, do I see Reyson attacking an enemy? What you doing, honey, you want to get sick?
Regarding how the laguz transformation will work:
"At start of turn, if unit is adjacent to only beast or dragon allies or if unit is not adjacent to any ally, unit transforms (otherwise, unit reverts). If unit transforms, unit can move one extra space. (That turn only. Does not stack.) If unit transforms, grants Atk+2."
This can be bothersome… this on top of the herons skills mean they will probably be only on full laguz-teams. Also, Nailah Wolf Queen Fang seems incredibly broken (if I am reading it right), but it requires allies to be close to her... but not so much if you are using beorcs. Auto-players will not be very fond of beast units.
EDIT: Wait, Naesala is in too? How do I keep missing those things when I watch the trailers?
There is still the tempest trial unit right?
Tempest Trial for January is already happening, so no. Instead, this banner is getting a Forged Bond.
Unless we are somehow getting a Tempest Trial this month (I doubt considering we are finishing one right now), I doubt it would involve Radiant characters. It will probably set up for the next banner.
I really want to like Naesala, but…
! That Blood Pact is so fucking stupid.
@.access:

wait, i don't get it. if you don't like the art, why is it a "thank god"? So you use less orbs that way? nailah is perfect, of course, no bias here

which means Nailah will have to wait a while to get her husband into the game :(
I hate how accurate this is.
Naesala is a GHB starting from 1/12.

Oh no, I love the art, it's just I was expecting something I would hate (I was fully expecting a whitewashed teenager skinny Nailah - well, at least two of those)
We'll know his art and VA through datamine when the banner drops the day before, so I can't wait.

I thought it looked a little jank from the thumbnail but the default stance is really good. PenekoR in general usually does good work (drawn both male and female characters).
I think Kumiko works for Tibarn, and while I think Yura is one of the weakest artists in the game, Leanne looks great. (Reyson is ok but not outright bad)
I just realized next month is the Valentine's Banner again.
I dunno who voices the Herons, but I'm familiar with Tibarm and Nailah's actors (Tibarn is Raven from Tales of Vesperia, and Deen + Randal from FE Echoes, Nailah is Fang from FFXIII)
Also using Reyson to show that Herons can attack is 100% on brand
Thank GOD for Nailah, because I will roll for best Laguz mom. And maybe Reyson.

I expect Ranulf to be the mythical hero for january. If they repeat what they did last year for the anniversary, we should get 1 free unit like L!Ike in the "Hero Rises" event (plus 50 orbs), and its very likely that by putting the two events together Ranulf will be the most voted to win (also because Mythical Heroes provide the new blessings and he's a fan favorite and very likely to sinergize with the other Laguz). That way both Ike and Ranulf from RD are going to be free.
Ain't Mythical Heroes supossed to be like gods or something?
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
We also have two Legendaries left to release.
Dheginsea would be a nice mythic hero lol.

To be honest, Reyson and Leanne faces are not really that good on the attack/hurt images:
Nailah is looking great in all of them, Tibarn is pretty good too, but I wish at least the special art had them in their animal forms instead (although I suppose that would hurt the amount of artists that could properly draw the laguz. And if the manaketes didn't got those already…).
Reyson could open bottles with that nose he's got there
Just cleared the new Squad Assault, and I now have 420 orbs.

Naesala has Lewyn's artist and the same VA as Leon. No voice clips just yet.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Naesala looking like real good for a free unit. Which is great because I was already set on promoting him… making me realize I never promoted any GHB despite so many of the characters I like being there (and yet I did it with Alphonse and Sharena because it felt wrong to not have them maxed... (...))
So for now we're getting a lot of birds and one wolf. Wonder if next time we'll get any cats. Or my bunny.
. . . . . . I don't get it.
Tibarn and Leanne sound perfect in the english version but way too young in japanese. Naesala is the opposite.
Reyson and Nailah are great in both versions, but it reminded me Nike is a much cooler name and I hate they changed it.
Bring back Tibarn's bad RD VA.

it was probably cuz of the shoes
I actually prefer Nailah. I feel like, due to the name originating from Nike: The Goddess of Victory, anyone named Nike should have wings.
Also, the new schedule has been released:
[hide][/hide]
Things worth noting:
-We ARE getting another TT this month. Holy smokes. I'm down for that.
-Sword Valor banner? So Gray, Lene, and horse Chrom? I still want horse Chrom, but probably not enough for me to spend more orbs outside of my free pull circle.
-New power will of course focus on Seliph, Julia, Deidre, and Tailtiu. Seliph's refine doesn't look too good. Tailtiu at least gets to escape being a worse Nino but blue.
-I'm so glad I've already 5* my Walhart.
-Elincia teaming up with Nephenee? Weird team up. I mean, they're the same kingdom, but I'd except Elincia to team up with Marcia or Lucia or who true blue love. Then again NONE OF THEM OR HERE! MOM! HOLY FUCK!
-No Legendary Hero, but next month we'll finally get out Mystic Hero. RIP Legendary Alm
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
For those of you who want to know: The heroes for the Three Heroes quest will be Marth, Roy, and Chrom.
Neat. I already have two of those at 5*. Probably means I need to give Chrom some love.
Elincia and Nephenee are teamed up as the grunette alliance
It took me about 200 orbs, but my Laguz mother, father, and baby sister who is learning English have all come home!
Tibarn: SPD+/ATK-
Nailah: DEF+/HP-
Leanne: RES+/ATK-
Annoyed by Tibarn's IV, but at the very least: Tibarn NEEDS speed to kick ass, as Sturdy Impact should handle ATK boosts. I also got a +1 for my Ishtar and Delthea.
Ok, let's go! Starting it with 795 orbs.
Now I am 495 and I all got is a Nailah +Res/-Spd.
300 orbs!!! And just one of the focus (other than her, I only got two 5*: Karel and Saber).
… It's so ludicrous I can't even be mad.
EDIT: Got Tibarn (+Def/-Res) on the following summoning. Now I am deciding if I want Leanne and Reyson enough to still go after them after so many orbs or if I should just focus on getting a better Nailah and a second Tibarn to pass Sturdy Impact on...
Are IVs really that important, though? I mean, I don't even take Arena seriously, I just try to get the orbs there, do IV make a difference on regular modes?
EDIT: After 500 orbs, that's still all I've got. Think I will stop here. It hurts Nailah has the exact opposite of the IVs I wanted but whatever, the laguz were the reason I was saving orbs anyways, so I don't mind wasting so many on this pull.
Unless Python decides to arrive now, in which case I will be pissed. But I know he is not getting in anytime soon... :~
(I am talking like that but I still have 300 orbs...)
