Title screen art for FEH Book 1-8

Which one is your favorite?

[nm-mattuz]

All I'm saying is, FEH book 4 would have gone differently with me.

Me: My dream. My reality. *Goes Super Saiyan*

[leaf-storm-lurking]

FEH OCs part 4 out of ???

Disclaimer: I am going off of memory here, so I'll probably get several things wrong and miss a few things. Also, Book 4 is my favorite for the aesthetic. (Dreams, flowers, questioning reality, butterflies, and the dread of nightmares are all up my alley.)

Peony: I don't like her outfit or her hair. Other than that, she's alright. I found the "she could be the real Sharena" thing cool, but it didn't matter in the end. Was down with dying to make sure we got out and I guess we got to relearn(?) each after we woke up from our dream.

Mirabilis: Where were you during the first half of the book? Other than that, I really like that dress and feel like Peony should've had something similar.

Freyr: One of many FEH OCs that hasn't gotten their base form summonable yet. (Also, I'm sad that he is our only male wearing clothing from Ljosalfheimer or Dokkalfheimer.) His eyes are always closed cause he's dreaming, but his sister seems to be awake.

Triandra: 8-year commits murder against abusive father. She's probably not appreciated since her job is giving people nightmares. Also, what are her outfits...? She's wearing a leotard(?) in her base, but what is her spring alt? Why would you wear a bikini during spring, a season associated with rain...

Plumeria: I feel bad for this girl. Become an alfar for her mother's love, only to... "spread love to others." I have several questions for Freyja... Also, her outfit is the most appropriate considering her job, not sure if the dreams she gives are bad. Wonder what she's up to considering she and Triandra are teaming up with Lif and Thrasir.

Freyja: In actual Norse mythology, Freyja rules over the realm of Folkvanger (Sounds like a name for a cool sword), where half of the warriors who die in battle go. In FEH she rules over the realm of nightmares, and I'm a little disappointed... She could've had us fight Hel, Sutr, Gustav, Fallen Edelgards, or any assortment of nightmarish foes. It's also funny that she's a light hero...

Following the tradition of older books getting new content during tempest trial events along with new characters and ascended forms, I wonder what they'll do for this book.

Tempest Trials Update:

So, Freyja is back (RIP Freyr, at least he's summonable now). Apparently, Plumeria and Triandra made a deal with a higher power to get her back (Thorr, Loki, or the "All Father" are my guesses), but Freyja's like "No, no, these two are mine."

We get two new characters from the tempest...

Eitr - Sharena's introduction mentions that the flowers she's holding are from Vanaheimer, which makes sense considering who she actually is. I was disappointed that I couldn't the mole on her face, but her hair is probably just covering it. (Also, can everyone from Vanaheimer turn into a goat?)

Ginnungagap - Weird design but fitting, I was expecting something more human like the other gods we've seen. I wanna learn more about her, assuming there's anything to learn. Also, she's cavalry?!?

I’m feh book 4’s number 1 defender. (Minus That One Scene but Whatever)

[nikuknight]

​This was one of my favorite plot points in all of FEH! Imo they definitely stayed switched, but the whole point was that they didn't even know who was who anymore because it didn't matter. They had both been both people. To me, this doesn't mean that the royal family lost their princess—they gained one in Peony.

please tell me I'm not the only person who remembers that book four plot point in Feh of Shareena and Peony having switched lives with each other so much THEY FORGOT who was originally who. Like, sure, they say it doesn't matter, and to them it doesn't, they're so happy go lucky they just wouldn't care. But....there is a very real chance that the Shareena we know, isn't the original Shareena. There's a very big chance the original Shareena is now Peony and....we'll just never know, because they'll never expand on that plot point.

I mean, think about what this would mean for their siblings. Imagine being Alfonse or Triandra, learning, somehow, that your sibling one day stopped being your original sibling and you just....never noticed. Can you imagine what that'd do to someone's head? And what about Queen henriette? What if she found out. Because that'd not only mean that she recently lost her husband, but that, at some point while she was raising her children, her daughter was swapped out for a doppelganger and she never was able to tell the difference.

That plot point is going to haunt me and I don't see it discussed enough.

Beautiful Nightmare 

[hulloitsdani]

Rough warm up sketches ft Kiran and Grima because I think their dynamic would be neat :)

Transcript under the cut:

KIRAN: 'Think your face spooked 'em!

GRIMA: Idiotic.

KIRAN: Or mine did! That's also possible. I've been told I look really off putting when I don't emote.

GRIMA: really.

KIRAN: Really! Look.

GRIMA: Hm.

GRIMA: Fun. Never do that again.

KIRAN: Right!? I zoned out in a meeting and Anna thought I was pissed.

[dirtyoldmanhole]

i finally got around to playing feh's latest chapter..........................

(revelation/gunter spoilers)

this is literally 'what if possessed!gunter had the idea corrin could ressurect his kids + a chapter or two to coldly & desperately try to force corrin/(you) to bring them back' as-a-gacha-oc.

i get a lot of mileage out of possessed!gunter maybe a little too much but this is a perfect, devastatingly heart-eviscerating angle. ooughhh.

[moe-broey]

Those ages cannot be real. They can't. Veronica doesn't act like she's thirteen, she acts like a sheltered nineteen-year-old. Alfonse is in no way near 30, he acts maybe 23. Sharena is def 18-19. What are the FEH writers smoking!?

LMFAOOOOO WELL!!!! Without official ages, these are all rough estimates from snippets of dialogue and lore! (And, full disclosure, a lot of headcanoning on my part)

I think Veronica (esp young Veronica) does a really good job at being a young character who acts older than she is. Someone who's mature for her age, esp due to growing up fast, but undeniably still childish. Which is very funny that you see her as a sheltered 19 y/o, cause like! I feel like that's the thing about treading that line! A character like that either comes off as an immature adult/older teen, who maybe looks young, or a surprisingly grown up "young lady", who's 13 LMFAOO (and through Sanaki, it was confirmed to be the latter!)

There's also a possibility that Alfonse and Sharena joined the Order of Heroes younger than my headcanon estimates (maybe as teens), which would place both of them younger current Book, too. And then! There's no real evidence to support that One Book = One Year. I think, passage of time wise, the best estimates might be gleaned from festival paralogues, actually. Since every festival corresponds to a yearly tradition/holiday!

All that said, I do think the ambiguity is on purpose. That way, the player can project what they think/feel onto the characters, maybe imagining the characters closer to themselves in age. Intsys can cast a wider net this way! Which Is profitable. For f2p gacha game. Where, unfortunately, the characters are also a product that's being sold to you essentially, relying on your emotional attachment to them 🧍

so i know we already have the whole "older brother of a woman linked to us via dreams also dreaming of us" shtick covered by hríd, but we also have freyr apparently and it's been living in my head rent-free forever

this is his level 40 confession:

Long, long ago...I dreamt of a summer day spent beneath the sun's rays...And you were standing beside me in that dream, [Summoner]... There is no mistake. That was a true dream... It was a promise made by the future. How will the dream continue from here, I wonder... Of course, knowing would detract from the mystique. Dreams form our desires and shape the future...but for now, let us simply drift off into the summer sun.

how long ago was long, long ago...because for me, my mind immediately jumped to tiny freyr—with short hair and only a single braid instead of two and his eyes closed all the time still, but his face still manages to reveal his emotions when he does not give it permission to, particularly when his sister is involved—waking up as a voice inside his older self's brain, able to see and feel everything he does but unable to exert any influence, because he has always had some influence over dreams and that extends to visions of the future.

and there's this pretty mortal in a sundress who sits next to him as he's simply laying down, and when she says his name, his older self opens his eyes, only to be rewarded with salt water sprinkled at his face and a beautiful smile that makes his heart pound.

but he's so young and she's a mortal, and the only thing young freyr concedes that day is that it's nice to see freyja having fun with a friend.

the visions, bits and pieces out of context that show a wonderful future, don't stop after that day, as if to taunt him for when he disregarde, the clear signs that he grows to love her, because he does and how is it hard to when she cares for freyja so deeply that his sister is willing to trouble herself for the mortal's sake?

those in the palace begin whispering after the fifth time he bumps into the wall with a soft smile on his face.

he sees her past and sees her variable future—some things are fixed, but others are not. he sees her in a wedding gown, as a happy bride and a sad bride, he sees her with children, and he sees her grow old, whether alone or with her variable husbands; most of them are kings, but only three are of Midgard, and of those, one is only a grand duke, beloved brother to the empress.

(never with him)

he sees her in a beautiful deep red dress, on a balcony with only the company of fireworks; he hears the way his heart pounds, and remembers what he once thought; and though there is no recognition in her eyes, she welcomes him to her side all the same

but what should be the start of a two-sided relationship, an acknowledgement of him from her, becomes a time he hopes will never exist

because it isn't until much later that he learns what his sister attempts to do, how she traps the mortal in a neverending dream—about his death and the last thing he sees. to see her smile at him one last time...that much, at least, is granted to him.

but ironically, his desperate attempts to convince freyja to avoid such a path, to leave the beautiful mortal alone, are what drive her into consolidating her plans—and she never realizes, not until they both are willed into existence in Askr, that it wasn't simply a matter of loving mortals; that it was a matter of loving one mortal and wanting her to be happy to a self-sacrificial point.

because his death and freyja's, they are fated, they are fixed, and the prospect of them surviving even once means that they will have changed the future in all timelines. because they, like those of ymir, or hel, or vanir and asgard, exist outside of time—singular entities watching over all worlds—but are still beholden to it.

and then he is summoned, to her, and she smiles the way she did the first time. and freyr, he makes himself a promise. to be helpful in whatever way he can—to be the shoulder she can lean on when she's tired, the ears that listen to her sorrows.

and when summer brings along with it a warmth in the breeze, she takes him—and his sister, and his fairies, and her fairies, and all her other heroes—to a familiar scenery.

a familiar scene, salt water on his face, the beginning of his downfall.

the beginning of his love.

as a hero, his powers are restricted. he has no clue what goes on in the minds of his other selves summoned to other askrs, as he would've if he'd been alive. whether they're as lucky as he is, if they also "get the girl"

when night falls, he confesses his dream to her, his eyes still closed. she's quiet for a while, before she asks him about his words, about whether the dream formed his desires.

and when a quiet yes slips from his lips, and he tells her about wanting to be at her side, her smaller hand lightly grasps his own and feels something soft on his cheek, near his lips

"mine too. my desires...as well, since that dream. when you first approached me."

(telling freyja results in a tantrum from her and an attempted deescalation that his beloved takes far too much glee in.

by week 3, his sister pouts when he expresses his affection for his lover and mixes salt in her coffee, but there remains no malice in her actions.)

Full art for Freyr - Dream King

Artist: yoshiku

[childofaura]

Have you seen the new Resplendent Hero? It’s Ursula! She’s dressed in Dökkálfheimr attire and guess what? Her artist is Saori Toyota!!

Man, I DO like the artwork and the design, and I’m glad Ursula was the one who got the Resplendent… but I’m just SO tired of the Alfar Resplendents at this point. And kind of tired of the Muspell ones too.

I’ll still do my best to review it though, it’s good art. Resplendent Ursula:

So first off, this is a gorgeous design. There’s a lot of different colors going on (purple, green, yellow, maroon… I think?) but they all blend together beautifully. I love Ursula’s hair clip too, it’s a very nice touch. My only minor gripe is the long belts that seem to be unchanged, could have made them vines, but that doesn’t bug me too much. This Dökkálfheimr is the equivalent of Eirika’s Ljosalfheimr outfit, in that it’s a perfect blend.

Everyone’s already heard me gushing over Saori Toyota’s art, so I’ll just recap: amazing designs, gorgeous color work, yadda yadda yadda.

Well, I’ve already made my Alfar burnout known. So I’ll be honest, I feel like Hel would have been a cooler pick for Ursula. Though really, I think we need to pick some Nidavellir candidates next: Cain and Abel, Stahl, Cormag, Jagen, Kliff, Silas, Seth… just a couple off the top of my head.

Overall, despite the burnout, I’ll give Ursula a 10/10… though if the next Resplendent Hero is an Alfar or Muspell, I’m NOT reviewing them until we get something new again.

I'd prefer the next FE game with the Heroes OCs over a Genealogy remake (I'm sorry, the characters grew on me)
