Some Fire Emblem dragon art I started back in high school.

Mila, Duma, Medeus, Idunn, Velezark, and Garon.

And some more Fire Emblem dragon art I started back in high school.

Grima and Anankos.

[real-fire-emblem-takes]

Honestly as a HUUGE Shadow Dragon and Mystery of the Emblem fan, Fire Emblem Warriors (1) should've just been Fire Emblem Fates and maybe Fire Emblem Awakening.

The game clearly wasn't interested in Shadow Dragon given the info on the game was often blatantly incorrect, representation was below bare minimum (Camus is said by the writers to be in many ways the real main character of the games and he was absent), and it didn't get a stage like Awakening And Fates did.

Almost none of the Shadow Dragon characters added anything to the game either with the vast majority of them being, the only real unique one was Tiki and she could've easily been Awakening Tiki, Dragonstone moveset Corrin, or Lilith among others.

Gharnef was of course redundant to with Validar and Iago existing.

Meanwhilst if they'd stuck to Fates, they would've been able to get Fire Emblem staple classes like Armored Knight, Lance Cavalry, Bow cavalry, Axe Fighter, ETC. We also could've gotten more unique villains like Hans (Axe Fighter) and Garon (Armor axe). Anankos would've definitely been cooler than Velezark.

Also best of all, there's alot of stories you could tell with all the major characters of Fates as well as the villains and nations as oppossed to just having a bunch of crossover characters, many of which occupy the same archetypes.

I'm admittedly disappointed that Three Hopes characters and the persona crossover characters got into FEH, and yet the first warriors games characters haven't. It'd be neat to have Rowan, Lianna, and Darios in FEH, and Velezark. Also, the entire fell discourse is stupid given that in Japanese Grima is referred to as a evil dragon, same as Velezark was in Japanese. Nothing wrong with fell being used for the new evil dragon.

On one hand I get it that the FEW1 OCs weren't included cuz they weren't terribly popular.

On the other hand, the fucking smugness that people have when they celebrate 3Hopes characters getting in and saying that the Aytolis twins were garbage and never had a chance is really fucking annoying.

Yes, we get it, their story is a simpler retread of FE8's and focused primarily on the crossover fanservice, but jesus. God forbid that people found them even just a bit endearing and had fun with the game as a whole. Not to mention the fact that it came out in 2017, the same year where Heroes was finding its footing, so really I'm pretty sure at the time including stuff from spin off titles wasn't a big priority. TMS in 2020 and 3Hopes in 2022 on the other hand? Heroes was already making bank at those points, so there's no harm in giving them some attention in the long run.

[iturbide]

Gotta say though, I never expected the Grimleal lawyers to have to make a comeback after the restraining order on Alm and Celica😂 And if it turns out the new Fell Dragon™ is another version of Grima and they accidentally sued themselves I will laugh SO HARD

I would be very curious what the final title for this dragon comes out as. They've had other cool names before (I mean, Velezark was the Chaos Dragon, that's badass, and I feel like they're already drawing on Warriors for inspiration), but reusing 'Fell Dragon' for the English localization when Grima is right there and they've done so much legitimately interesting stuff with that lore.

please though Grima don't sue yourself unless you know you can win get them on that technicality you can do it

the velezark i drew for the second opening of the fire emblem compendium!

(drawn 19-10-16)

[incorrect-aytolis]

Velezark: apparently ‘spite’ is not an appropriate answer to 'what motivates you?'

[brightness-summoner-ghost]

All i ask is one good reason not to love this man

[gameotheque]

Chapter 20 thoughts:

*”No matter how bad things may seem... don’t lose heart!” Corrin is a sweetie :]

*I don’t care how little sense it makes. I’m glad we’re back at the World Tree. It’s pretty and it’s got the battle remix of You Have Power... Like Mine.

*Owain and Caeda actually make a great team... When you and your grandma beat down some fools together.

*Lol, at one point I completed a side-mission immediately upon activating it. Rad.

*”Corrin is fighting Shadow!” Wow, Super Smash Bros Ultimate sure is looking cool!

*Actually... being the dragon of Chaos and producing Shadows to kill us... wow, Velezark really is Shadow the Hedgehog’s dragonsona.

*”Sis has an impostor? One of her is more than enough!” You’re in time-out for this, Rowan.

*Gotta say, Velezark, lame and space-flea-from-nowhere as he is... has a really rad design.

[emblemxeno]

He was Evil Dragon in Japanese as well. So Grima, Snek, and Velezark are all the same dragon.

On one hand I appreciate the clear cut title, on the other hand "Evil Dragon" will always be funny as fuck

[iturbide]

So uh....we got a new Fire Emblem for the Switch? Another Fell dragon defeated, you actually play as a Divine dragon though and the game's gimmick is summoning past Heroes a la FEH style - dunno about this one, not gonna lie.

I have definitely seen the trailer but in case anyone hasn't, have a link:

You know, I've seen a lot of comparisons to Heroes, but I don't really see it? It doesn't really seem like there's a gacha or chance element in the summoning of Heroes -- more than anything, it reminds me of the original FE: Warriors game, where legend has it that heroes from other worlds arrived to help push back the forces of Velezark, some of whom carried Gleamstones within them that allowed the royalty of Aytolis to awaken the Shield of Flames and seal the Chaos Dragon away. Heck, even the premise lines up: Velezark's is sealed away, but then the seal weakens, allowing him to influence the king of Gristone into speeding things along -- and the trailer states outright that the seal is weakening and the narrator "senses a resurrection."

The trailer seems to imply that there are a limited number of rings (at the 2:49 mark of the trailer, the main character says "she asked me to gather all of the rings and bring peace back to Elios"), presumably the 12 shown in the tapestry in the trailer opening (Marth, Celica, Sigurd, Leif, Roy, Lyn, Eirika, Ike, Micaiah, Lucina, F!Corrin, M!Byleth) and given that each ring seem to be set to a specific character, my guess is that the 'summoning' is going to be keyed into major story events where rings are acquired, rather than being a summon at leisure thing.

(Slightly incidental note, but I find it very funny that the close-up of the rings focus pointedly on the stones set within them -- again, the heroes from other worlds in the original Warriors carried the Gleamstones that made it possible to awaken the Shield of Flames...and on top of that, two of the five characters implied to be Heroes in this game were also in Warriors: Marth and F!Corrin.)

I think it's kind of interesting how the ring system works, though. It looks like the general use draws inspiration from the Adjutant mechanic from Three Houses, where you pick one character before battle to accompany another as a non-playable support unit (and possibly one of a suitable class -- Sigurd being a mounted unit and pairing with a cavalier character might imply that rings are only compatible with units who hold a particular class). But then there's that fusion mechanic that reminds me of Tokyo Mirage Sessions (complete with the super fancy outfits), where the hero associated with the ring merges with the character they're paired with for a power-up. It's neat to see a mechanic from a side game getting drawn into a mainline one.

(Speaking of reusing things from other games, though, I'm reeling that they're re-using Fell Dragon for this cobra dragon. Not gonna lie, it looks super cool, but it's gonna have to work hard to usurp Grima's throne -- and it's hilarious to me how many people have decided that Grima would be righteously pissed and ready to fight for the title.)

The main character's actual appearance is ridiculous, though. I had completely forgotten about the leaks earlier this year, but as soon as I saw the trailer the memories came rushing back. I've seen so many jokes about them being Pepsi and toothpaste -- and thanks to the tags highlighted by one blog I follow, I cannot think of them as anything but Colgate-chan and Pepsi-kun.

So far opinions I've seen are highly polarized: some people seem excited, some people seem pissed. I'm on the fence so far! It could be interesting, but I'm going to hold off on any judgment for now until more information comes out -- and given that it's due for release in barely more than four months, I expect that they're going to give us more sooner rather than later.
