Yeah, I believe I’d seen that before. I just hadn’t considered that “Yvelle” was anything other than a French name a la “Yvette” and “Yvonne” and was @_@ at some of these alleged sources online about this supposed Slavic derivation.

‘Tis weird, if nothing else.

@bookofholsety

adding micaiah would involve intsys admitting that light magic was once a big proper thing the series had, more than just a naga here and an aura there. judging from their track record WE CAN'T HAVE THAT NOW CAN WE

staff bot!miccy with her pref Thani staff, it restores 10 hp and if you upgrade it to Thani ++ it deals effective damage to armors and ponies, but it doesn’t have wrathful staff built in

@bookofholsety now that Lachesis is the name they’ve used in Heroes and not just a website poll name do you plan on updating the patch?

(sorry I know coming at you with this less than 2 hours after she got put into the game is pushy as hell but its the middle of a slow night shift for me, its boring, nothings happening, I love Lachesis, and I have no self control so I'm making this post anyway)

He still could’ve been announced as the brilliant Tactician that Rein’s promoted him as instead of as Saias: Bishop of Flame[*]

* Flame technically not included w/ Bishop

@jrdyuu said: To keep the peg knight tradition, Fee or Femina for Seliph? Mana (can’t remember her mess of a localized name) seemed to fill this role in 4 quite a bit, so there’s probably another choice.

Lana/Muirne is already heavily favored to win Seliph’s hand and Fee is capable of winning him and has the conversation to prove it. Catria cannot marry Marth because he’s canon engaged to Caeda and it’s not breakable the way Micaiah/Sothe A support can be undone. Cordelia cannot marry Chrom because the devs decided The Catria should be a thing and damn logic. Faye will not be able to bag Alm unless they radically change game canon in a way they didn’t do with the Archanea remakes.

No Gen1 ladies save Deirdre can bag Sigurd, and all Gen2 ladies bar Altena can be hooked to Seliph without actual hacking... and Altena has enough problems thank you very much.

So, who’s The Catria? They gonna paste in a female Chalphy knight or poof a new Tirnanogue kiddo out of thin air, or are they gonna pretzel-twist an existing female character to fit this misbegotten archetype?

@bookofholsety said: tbh this all ties into what i regard as The Lachesis Hypothesis: she has always attracted all the worst excesses of both intsys and the fandom, and in doing so the slack is lightened somewhat on the rest of the fe4 cast. in a way her heroes art is a good omen, in that odds are few to no other jugdral women will get whacked with the same moestick

Hey, you saw that Cipher art for Tailtiu and the Gen2 girls. Forgive me for being disgruntled that the Master Knight of Gen1, she who juggles every weapon save dark tomes, got hit with the dread moestick.

You mean they bothered to go with Iuchar and Iucharba and STILL can’t be bothered to fix Quan?

And I don’t even get to make luchador jokes now.

Also for a gang that never met a Y they didn’t like, they up and went with Silvia instead of Sylvia. NoA, you so funny.

@bookofholsety said: way i see it there's no rush to change anything to anything, and it's worth waiting until the characters actually show up in mobile. a few characters have already been tweaked in the list since the site went up so none of it is rock-solid yet

Ooh, what’s changed to date? Is someone keeping a running tally?
