#possibly even worse than the xmas banner because that at least had yunaka on it

[a-pale-azure-moon]

I'm sorry, but this Valentine's banner is creatively bankrupt. It's apparently impossible for a seasonal FE8 banner to not feature Ephraim, Eirika & Lyon, and then one or more of Myrrh, Tana or L'Arachel. I like all of these characters, but this is BORING. BORING BORING BORING.

(To quote a friend of mine describing what he assumed was IS's logic: "oh we gotta do Sacred Stones uhhhhh use the same four characters we always use and tag on Selena as a profitable Camus and then throw the F2P crowd someone no one gives a shit about.")

What about Gerick? Tethys? Marisa? Innes? Natasha? SETH?? Hell, it's been two years since Joshua got an alt, why not him? Or what about throwing a bone to Franz, Forde, Kyle or Garcia who aren't even in the game yet?

I'd celebrate a new alt for Vigarde, but he's the free unit....when his base form is a free unit!

Well, it's an easy skip for me at least. Good luck to those who are going to pull on it.
