Does anyone care about the Christmas Banner at all?

I am asking this question since you guys are talking about the second coming of Christ { Legendary Heroes Banner } and i am only wanting to know more about the Christmas banner. really don't want any heroes from the upcoming banner and the odds of getting one you want in particular is astronomically dumb. Plus, don't you think Innes would've been better over B!Lyn? She's in a banner already! And to point out, i am not ranting about it, just incredibly surprised on why they put B!Lyn in 2 banners that are gonna stay with each other until next Monday.

Personally I’m not going all in on the new banner, like I’ll definitely summon a bit but it’s nothing crazy for me (I kinda burned all my orbs on my unsuccessful attempts for Dorcas Mia and Lute) but the Christmas banner I can see myself saving up for purely because limited time units aren’t common for me and I only really have bride caeda

It’s hard to be excited about a banner when you know nothing about it. Wait until the units are released for it and if there’s anything impressive in there, expect the hype to begin.

I usually really don't like seasonal banners.

Most of the units found in them are somewhat lackluster or very nichy ... Plus the fact that they are just seasonal is both frustrating, doesn't allow the best use of them for us F2P.

See in the past seasonal banners, how many units did really stand out ?

Just the flying mages (even then I don't see them much anywhere in PVP or PVE), maybe HHenry and Bridelia ... That's it ?

Most of their skills will arrive in the summoning pool later.

Now see, Bridelia and Springmilla both are available in the Legendary banner, and they are two of the only very good seasonal units.
So why bother waiting for the new seasonal banner, when most of the units will probably be bad / not that good ?

The performing Arts banner for me has been the most successful due to the dancers it introduced but other than that, I know what you mean, these units don’t tend to last into the new arena season.

I agree.

Plus, most of the units are awkward. I just don't want a unit with a carrot lance, Bikini units in winter, Easter units on Christmas and so on.
Thus I avoid these banners aside from Performing Arts (which is seasonal but at the same time not that awkward)...Inigo and Axura are helping me big time and I more than once felt bad for not being able to get Polivia).

I just used my free summon in the Halloween banner and didn't summon on the others at all. Same will be the case on Christmas and on Legendary I will avoid blue and if I get Springmilla, I probably will just stache her.

Sure, a mage Flier is nice to have, but I feel my Flier team should be working well, once I get Elincia.

I know what you mean, they feel very dated very quickly, whereas the Performing Arts units where viable and worthwhile additions to the character roster, it’s a shame they weren’t added to the pool.

Yeah, it's just there's the Tharja and Robin that're suppose to be for it. I don't like them, so if they keep them that only leaves two chances to have a character I like in it. As for the upcoming banner, I don't care a lot. I only want a Spring Camilla and then I'll stop. I'm more excited for the Fates Children banner in beginning Dec

I'm much more interested in the Children of Fate. Hoping to get at least 1 or 2 Hectors from the Legendary Hero banner. Would be really nice to trade my +Res one for a +atk, and I have a number of characters who really want DC (Effie and Joshua come to mind)

Nah, its confirmed 2 of the units are robin and tharja, and you can expect the other 2 (or one?) to be awakening units too, so not interested at all, i have had enough of fateswakening already.

I am only honestly saving up for Christmas Robin, don't really care if he's meta worthy, I just want a Level 40+2 Christmas Robin at least. I don't really care for the meta at all. Sure, building them is fun, but they'll just get pushed away by better units. I only collect the units that appeal to me and thats about it. I could care less about the meta at all, that way, Robin will stay a favorite in my heart no matter how bad/good he'll be. This is coming from a guy who never got a single seasonal unit in his 4.75 career, with high hopes for Christmas Robin to end off my already bad 2017 year..

Personally I'm really looking forward to the Christmas banner. Typically I'm one to avoid spoilers, especially for Fire Emblem related stuff (my favorite series across all platforms and companies), but by accident I came across the data mine from last year. No spoilers but I'm super excited for the male unit that was mined (minor spoiler, not so excited for BDSM tits mcgee). I don't care how useful the male unit is, but I'm a huge fan of the character, across all the games I've played since the gba release in the US.
