I wonder if Marisa and Soren fans can kick out Hector by agreeing not to trade for him. It's hard to imagine either of them can win if Hector advances.

No, Hero Fest were those 4 character banners we used to get with a 5% 5* rate. Female Grima is locked to the Legendary Hero banner which has the worst rate for getting a particular +10. Although, if there are multiple heroes of the same colour you want to +10 on a Legendary banner, you can get two for a little over the price of one.

You seem like the type who might have this kinda stuff on hand, or have a reddit link that has it

What is the expected orb cost to +10 a 5* on each color, with or without on hero fest.

That may be a project of mine sooner rather than later since there are less and less 3-4* units remaining I'm caring about.

Bottom end of the ranges means a 25% chance of success. Top end of the range means a 75% chance of success. The 50% point is not listed but always a bit below the halfway point of the range.

3 character banner (no duplicate colours):
Red: 46-189 (1197-1761 for +10)
Blue: 42-175 (1111-1625 for +10)
Green: 38-152 (961-1412 for +10)
Colourless: 42-167 (1060-1540 for +10)

3 character banner (one other character with the same colour):
Red: 46-199 (1258-1870 for +10)
Blue: 43-185 (1172-1735 for +10)
Green: 38-160 (1011-1496 for +10)
Colourless: 42-178 (1126-1664 for +10)

4 character banner (no duplicate colours):
Red: 59-246 (1560-2301 for +10)
Blue: 56-227 (1443-2113 for +10)
Green: 48-196 (1254-1841 for +10)
Colourless: 53-216 (1370-1999 for +10)

4 character banner (one other character with the same colour):
Red: 59-257 (1632-2426 for +10)
Blue: 56-240 (1519-2252 for +10)
Green: 48-208 (1311-1946 for +10)
Colourless: 55-228 (1451-2145 for +10)

Legendary Hero banner (8% 5* focus rate, 0% 5* rate, three characters of each colour):
Red: 66-284 (1782-2650 for +10)
Blue: 62-269 (1700-2532 for +10)
Green: 54-237 (1488-2219 for +10)
Colourless: 60-262 (1659-2463 for +10)

Hero Fest (5% 5* focus rate, one character of each colour):
Red: 37-156 (984-1452 for +10)
Blue: 36-145 (920-1350 for +10)
Green: 30-126 (796-1171 for +10)
Colourless: 33-139 (880-1288 for +10)

Calibrated to Bridal Bloom 2018 banner.

So roughly 600 for a +10 5* exclusive if you buy all the orbs, huh. Probably a slightly better rate in dollars though.

Yeah I think it works out to $665US. I don't know how people can put in enough money to buy their way to +10. Solo Green on a 3 character banner is also one of the cheapest +10s to get (Green Hero Fest +10s are the cheapest). If Nino was Red or on a 4 character banner, I would not have had enough Orbs to have tried it.

1247 Orbs. Average number of Orbs to get a +10 was 1204 so my luck was only a bit worse than neutral.

We don't really know enough about the game to know why the Japanese title is what it is. So it's hard to say why they changed it. On the other hand, the Three Houses connection is fairly obvious.

Serenes Forest goes into a bit more detail about the meaning behind the Japanese title:

"First things first, over in Japan, the game is instead known as Fire Emblem Fkasetsugetsu, which can be read as Fire Emblem Four Seasons, but it means a whole lot more than that.

The subtitle is poetic and evokes the wonders of the four seasons: the winds of Summer, flowers of Spring, snows of Winter and the moon of Autumn. It also has romantic allusions and can refer to a love affair."

I want to know why its called Three Houses at least. Is it gonna be 3 games like Fates? Is it gonna be 3 entirely unique stories depending on which house you pick? Is it gonna basically be one story and you just side with one house so only minor stuff is different? The title alone leaves a lot of questions.

The Japanese title translates to "Fire Emblem Four Seasons" so I don't think there will be three games.

I wouldn't mind a FE6 banner. That would mean we get Idunn because who else can they put on it.

I sort of wonder if we are getting Performing Arts 2 later this year. There's a fairly small pool of characters that would make sense for that. They already had to dig deep for Shigure but that was partially due to a secondary restriction on just using Awakening or Fates characters for seasonals with only a few exceptions at the time.

Finally drew a Sophia of the nature I wanted (+Atk/-Spd). I always liked her in Fire Emblem 6. Will probably at least 5* one of her, but if only she had better art she'd be a +10 candidate.

Is there any chance we'll ever get a Sophia alt? Does she do well at all in the CYL polls?

Sophia was 90th in CYL1 and 177th in CYL2. She outranked Shigure both times.

Yeah, Crono and Sephiroth need to get in the game somehow. I didn't think Snake could ever come back so this might be their only chance.

The only thing that was missing, and the one thing that I didn't get, was a story mode confirmation. I'm aware of them not liking the YouTube thing but still

Ridley is evidence the Sakurai's opinion can change. He specifically cited support for Ridley outside of Japan as a reason Ridley is in the game. The problem is I don't think the fan demand is there. While the cutscenes were cool, the gameplay in SSE was not popular.

If this was just "we are showing these 4 games, here they are", I would be like "yeah, this kind of sucks, but sure", but these intermissions where they give us information we already know are absolutely terrible.

Who thought this was a good idea?

They had to move the audience to a new room. I assume they didn't want to reveal anything important while that was going on. Although, moving the audience was a self inflicted problem to begin with.

Oh, they did move to a new room. That also means everyone who lined up early got screwed over and no longer got priority in seating.
