After a year and 4 months, IntSys finally said, “Shadows of Valentia has rights”*.  So how long until Deen, Atlas, Kamui, Valentia Est, and Jesse?

*Bridal Catria, Mila, Legendary Celica were not in a dedicated Valentia banner and, as such, cannot be counted.

... I can’t tell if this is, “yes, Gatekeeper should win CYL so he’s actually guaranteed to get into the game” or, “no, Gatekeeper should not win CYL but get in as GHB or something even though that isn’t guaranteed at all”.

But, yes, Gatekeeper needs to be in the game so his fans are happy.  I mean if even Byleth with their... stale cardboard personality can get an alt and is getting voted for because of... ships I guess... then every single character deserves to be in FEH since the fanbase has no taste anyway.

Gatekeeper also genuinely cares about everyone in the monastery.  He himself says he just wants to make people smile when you first meet him before quickly correcting himself about just guarding the gates with his life.  He cries when Jeralt dies and thanks Byleth for everything they’ve done.  He knows attacking Fort Merceus is basically a suicide mission and outright says he’s not ready to say his final good-byes.  This man has a huge heart!

Also, if Gatekeeper truly does end up winning and Kyle McCarley isn’t brought back to voice him, what’s the fucking point?  While Gatekeeper does have a generic appearance, Kyle McCarley brought a lot of life to him that complemented his personality really well!  He made Gatekeeper sound so sincere and like a bright light during some of the darkest moments of 3H.  It was such perfect casting and direction.

You cannot guilt-freely consume Japanese media, even FEH (who we have known for YEARS hires pronographic artists to draw for them).  It is extremely hard to do so simply because Japanese artists can, will, and do draw child pronography and face no charges simply because hentai is controversial at best over there.  This is because manga artists and anime directors argue that their current laws are simply too ambiguous to define for artwork.  At this point, it doesn’t look like the Japanese government is going to address it because a petition proposed in 2011 (one that included child pron anime) that Japan’s Liberal Democratic Party moved forward with in 2013 is still just... hanging in limbo it seems like. (All of this is according to Wikipedia, so some information may be outdated and when I try to learn more by using Google, I just get articles about hentai being outlawed in Australia )

Sure, you can hate that FEH keeps hiring artists who draw child pron, but, as I’ve stated before, this means FEH’s art director (or whoever commissions the artists) likely consumes that type of content.  Am I happy that FEH keeps commissioning people who draw child pron?  No, because I don’t believe these artists deserve exposure, however I do understand its legality needs to be sorted out in Japan first.

As I said before, if it’s all you can think about or it’s on your mind a lot when you play FEH, maybe quit the game?  ‘Cause, like, Japan law doesn’t look like it’s changing anytime soon, especially due to the apparent pushback from the manga/anime companies.

... I guess Dimitri’s gonna die if a mage or dragon so much as looks at him because neither skill inheritance nor his damage reduction B-slot exist.

This is honestly the best outcome.

Yes, this is real.  You can check the Fire Emblem Heroes Twitter account yourself.  I can’t link to it since my post doesn’t seem to appear in the tag if I do.  So maybe don’t summon on this banner quite yet.

This is a hot take TheGayMan and Anna’s Alt approved of after we saw some salt.
