Chrom

It was done anonymously as far as I'm aware, so I don't think it was about fame, at least not on the leaker's part. But yeah you could see all those early playthroughs of the game on YouTube.

It's not a leak if Nintendo themselves went out of their way to publish that information on their own store.

Sure I guess. I plan to be playing with the performance mode since I think the pros greatly outweigh the cons. I saw gameplay of it in 60fps and it looks really good.

http://fireemblemwarriors.nintendo.com/ Heroes from across the Fire Emblem universe collide in Fire Emblem Warriors on Nintendo Switch and New Nintendo 3DS, available starting October 20th! General discussion for FE Warriors goes here!

Normally I'd agree but I've figured since they do seem to care a lot about fan feedback they may try to step back and reconsider what they're trying to pull here. Here's hoping the game will head in a better direction than where it's currently going.

There's something funny about the fact that they did this with Ayra of all people since the nature of her character and the origin of her own name come off of anger. People are in the right to be upset though. I do believe Intsys will probably see it and try to address it somehow, so I'm interested in seeing how they'll follow up on it.

This actually happened with Fire Emblem Echoes as well recently. The Japanese version of the game had been leaked online several weeks in advance of the release date, so we got it datamined and knew pretty much everything about it before it actually came out. I knew quite a few people who downloaded the game and were playing it on their own 3DS and were even using a shoddy English translation patch thanks to homebrew. No idea how that even happened in the first place, but for me those were honestly fun times learning about the game under the hood early. I'm personally not an opponent against this kind of thing, but I understand Nintendo's stance on this with Mario & Luigi and I also think it was dumb of the leaker of that game to have left behind their traces and get caught over an inconsequential game like Mario & Luigi. Though a number of YouTubers benefited from the early release, I don't believe it was an actual YouTuber who was responsible because we probably would've been able to identify them ourselves by now if Nintendo was able to detect that they were a journalist.

Next month's tourney markers have been announced! Each are the lead characters from the newly released set, so no surprises here. While I'm here, I'm also going to use this post to remind myself to create a new thread for Series 11 later this month, so be on the lookout for that.

Arvis as an actual Emperor will probably show up later. I don't think it'd make sense as much for him to appear now.

For the record I don't believe we actually know yet whether or not Ayra is a GHB unit, I think GamePress is just running with the assumption that she is. As far as I know Arvis is the only one who is all but assured to have a GHB. Either way those two and Arden are all likely to be event units so their merging potential would be limited.

I wonder if they'll ever do an all-male Voting Gauntlet. They've done a female one already with War of the Clerics but I'd be interested to see them try one without a single female character.

I'd lean more towards the same thought were it not for the fact that not every character who's appeared in a GHB is actually an antagonist (namely female Robin, Navarre, and sort of Xander), so given that Ayra was similar to Navarre in the original game and it's been almost two months since the last new GHB character I could see her being either.

wow

She could be either I think. No real way to know right now.
