The Legendary Lucina/Lyn/Eirika problem

These units have people kinda annoyed. They all kinda look like a previous alt, with only slight differences.
Even units Like Ike, Hector and Robin don't have that much of a new design

I think the idea is to not make them wholly new, but upgrades of their base form.

Eirika and Ephraim have as base form their unpromoted class, while their promoted class is their legendary form.
In Eirika's case, she already had a mage form based off it. I think that alt is the main reason why people don't like her design.

But personally, I accually like it.
Yes it's not special and basicly a mashed version of the two other Eirika's. But it brings back memories from her promotion and it's a nice counterpart to Ephraim. Who's my favoriete legendary so far.

Sadly, I don't share this opinion about Lucina and Lyn.
Lucina just feels wierd using a bow. It's a weapon from nowhere and it's not even a type of weapon she used.
For Lyn I also kinda dislike her using a bow again. It was neat for the brave but it doesn't show her 'max potential'
Hell, I'm still salty that she never used her first sword from FE7. That small pure white Katana accually looked kinda cool.

On a side note, I do hope normal Eirika will get that blade as a refine. I bet it could be used for some fun builds.

i dont like lucina as a character but her bow and her supp skill is pretty handy
idgf about lyn and eirika either
my favourite legendary hero is daddy hector

Gotta admit. That assist is pretty unique.
Daddy Hector is awsome. I really find it fun that this one character is so dominant in the meta
As a character he's got a lot more depth than he seems to. He just great.

well people just have their hope too high for Alm/Eliwood/Seliph on eirika's case.

I personally don't really annoyed by L!Eirika herself.
I am only a little bit jealous of her braces.

as for lucina, I somewhat think that someone working in IS is a hardcore fan of her.
she even get out of nowhere geirskoegul and thoegn. Heck are these weapon even exist in awakening ??

Legendary Seliph would have been cool. But I'd settle for any kind of alt for him that's better than his current form honestly.

Ephraim:
Normal: Cool style with his sign on it.
Promoted/Legendary: Complettly new armor with his sign on it.

Eirika:
Normal: Cool style.
Promoted/Legendary: Exactly the same outfit with shoulder pats and white spikes at her skirt. Oh and she has a white cape now.

Wow.
Nothing against you Mr.Coffee.
Just not seeing the point of talking about that anymore.

Well, my point is that Eikia's legendary armor is her normal armor with a (small) upgrade.
Ephraim is hardly that much more differend. Just look at the pictures, side by side.
The biggest thing that Ephraim has more differend is the colors, Eirika kept more colors from her original outfit.

I'm just guessing that your point is L!Ephraim>L!Eirika
If you don't want to talk, then don't talk. But I sure will.

What? I just looked at Ephraim's armor on both versions and the biggest thing is definitely not just a color change. O.o

Kinda said that wierdly.
What I meant was that between their regulair version and Legendary ones, the big thing that Ephriam has that Eirika doesn't is that he's got a differend color scheme.

But the rest of the changes between to two are kinda on par:
Both wield their weapon in the new art
Ephraim gets new shoulder, arm and waist armor. + differend colors
Eirika also gets new shoulder, arm and waist armor + differend cape.

I'm probably talking too much about this..

I love Lucina's design, she's my favourite character in all FE, but an archer was definitely an odd choice. Not a bad one, just odd. Got her +Atk -HP.
Lyn looks like a worse version of her Brave design while she's hiding a large melon in her tunic that's about to escape. Got her -Spd which has coloured m view of her.
Not much thoughts on Eirika yet.

I do get a little bored with seeing the old school heroes reused over and over, without any significant changes to their design. I don't know the characters, having not played the games, so I can't get excited about them on that level, and when they don't even have interesting designs or weapon/movement combos, I just can't care at all. The one exception is Hector. I've only got his Valentine's version, and I think he's great. Even though I'm not familiar with him from his original game, he's still amusing and interesting to me. Mostly, I really, really wish they'd bring in characters we haven't already seen at all rather than keep rehashing the same old characters over and over again with little real variation.

Yeah, I can see that's a problem.
But for oldschool players it's also more fun to see new characers.

I do like this Eirika, but that doesn't mean that I much more would have liked a character that needed the alt a lot more (Alm, Seliph, Eliwood)
