#not having many hopes because alfonse centered books tend to be boring

[faireth-reed]

I always review the fallen units so...

Here we are again. I don't usually skip these banners because they tend to involve interesting characters, and this year is no exception.

It seems there was a bit less effort than other times, but the plot seems interesting at least. Let's go one by one:

Lilith: I think she comes from that paralogue with the Awakening trio? The thing is that many Fates characters can be seen as fallen. Those that we found in Valla (Mikoto, Sumeragi, Scarlet) are a similar case. Gunter could receive the Orson-Dimitri treatment too. She'll surely bond with Corrin and perhaps Jakob/Felicia/Flora, but don't know how much. Revelations' plot was a bit lacking. Either way, I wish good luck to Anankos fans, because their hopes might have gone up.

Ninian: this is from one of the most heartbreaking chapters of the story. I'm sure the spoiler will be adressed but not mentioning it myself until I see Forging Bonds' dialogue. This time it was more relevant than other characters having brief possession/lack of control. But it still reminds me that Uhai, who was in that island, can't still be voted for CYL. At least, I have hopes of seeing Nergal as a mythic, and Athos if we ever get the Blazing Blade banner that we deserve. She also makes sense as a future ascended unit, but Nils could also be there.

Gustav: so this is why Alfonse had that edgy moment last chapter? So now Letizia somehow summons dad and she wonders why tf she got intimidated? I like seeing that he wasn't a scrapped idea, but will only be satisfied if Sharena gets what she deserves. At least I have hopes for Fáfnir.

Rhea: this was one of the obvious options. I guess 3H can still have Dedue, Miklan... I guess we can't hope for a support with Sothis considering what happened in Halloween? We'll probably get another "political" dialogue, at which 3H really sucks.

Muarim: just checked, and he's one of those characters that don't deserve that pain. I wonder how many Tellius characters were treated like that? Also curious about how will the art/quotes/skills be.

Surprised that Risen King Chrom is not there yet, but it would be a Chrom overdose, this year. I wonder why people seem to think that Leo will also get a fallen version. His Cypher card is more ambiguous than Chrom's. It could be him in his usual dark mage aesthetics.

Also, Funeral of Flowers is one of the best 3H soundtracks.
