Who will you vote for in the next cyl and why?

I will probs vote for mostly selkie but also at least 2 votes for lethe and velouria. Why almost exclusively selkie is because she is most likely to win the cyl of all beast units, which would force IS' hand on the topic of beast units. That and she is super cute and reminds me of my best friend. Velouria literally reminds me of my german shepherd collie mix. Lol. And lethe has always been a personal favorite of mine.

Ehh, think of it this way. if Camilla and Tharja win, then we won't be getting them as candidates again, at all. Like, they won't be in the CYL board. I'd honestly just let em win and get it over with. Cause, that way, maybe those voters will be forced to pick something less creepy/bland/waifu bait and more, cool. But that's just me. Imma vote for the Tactician's Dancer and Kris from 12 XD

Yeah but if they win. we'll be getting alts of them. I don't care if they run I want them to lose. That's like saying I should let Trump/Hillary win just so they'd stop running. OK, but that doesnt make any sense because what I wanted not to happen happened.

Report

Okay but here's the problem. As shown in some extent, the most popular CYL units get alts, at least, when it comes to story alts from the looks of things as in New Hero Banners. As well as LHB's from the looks of it.

Leaving them in the CYL list will more than likely make it seem like they have to appease the Camilla and Tharja fans more and more and more, since they haven't gottent heir Brave iteration and there's so many of them. At least, that's how I see it.

Report

I think the dislike bar on that banner did the job for me for Camilla at least. Besides I'm not sure if I see them actually stopping just because the win. They kept going on with Lyn so I really don't buy that. I'm just gonna join the thot patrol this round

Report

As much I hate for either Camilla or Thaja, or BOTH, to win... this is actually a really good point. If they DO win for CYL3... they will no longer be an option for CYL4 onward (assuming the game runs for another year after Book III).

But otherwise, I'll stick to my original options and hope for the best. _(:3/

Xander and Ryoma. I enjoyed their characters early on here, and keep in mind Heroes is the only game I’ve ever played in FE

Report

Hmm, curious choice then.

Honestly, if you wanna get into a FE game (as in, not FEH) and have a Switch, you could probably get 16 coming out in February I think. (Or if you just don't want to buy a console/3ds, you can play the emulated games on a phone or something)

Otherwise, I can kinda see why you'd like them. Though, I'm not the biggest fan of Ryoma.

Report

Thanks guys. Yeah I don’t know, they could be total D bags in their games. I wanna get awakening and fates some day, but likely I’ll get Houses for switch next, whenever it comes out. Warriors seems like a nice heroes style take from the little I’ve seen.

Report

Yeah Warriors is fun and nice. Introduces you to the most popular Awakening waifus (Cordelia, Tharja and Olivia) in a few ways (though no the depth in Awakening), same for a few characters from Fates. (Camilla, Hinoka, etc)

Outside of Waifu's, you get some other interesting mixes. Though, the depth seen int he main games is not neccesarily seen. as the Supports seem more superficial.

Report

I recommend checking out any of the FE games. There are a ton of really cool and interesting units who have yet to make it into FE Heroes. That and Xander and Ryoma have been forced down my throat by tumblr... If ya have a 3ds, awakening although the easiest FE game is a good starting point. Then there is FE Fates. If ya have a wii U, there is FE7 and 8 on virtual console, and finally there is 3 houses for the switch coming out in spring. But yeah. Why not check out the characters of the games I listed, which xander and ryoma are from Fates, before just making a decision? Heck you may find a new favorite!

Report

See above: also, Cordelia seems to have an interesting back story I wanna know more about. That’s another vreason for me to get awakenings. I wouldn’t mind her for a CYL, though I admit my first impression of her artwork was that she was grumpy and unrelatable. Now I am not so sure.

Report

Sorry to say but FE Heroes does Ryoma xander and cordelia more justice than their actual games. The 3 of them are for the most part super boring. So choose based on units ya look up or the personalities of characters in Heroes.

Report

Well, Cordelia is a mixed bag. The biggest problem is what I call her, and I quote, Chromsexuality. She would die for Chrom, kill anybody for Chrom, etc. She's borderline obssessed the same way Tharja is, except that opposed to Tharja stalking you, Cordelia is focused on training and the second he enters the scene she goes unrequited love mode.

Furthermore, that obssession also hurts Severa/Selena (her daughter) to the point that she is traumatized by the way Cordelia never got over Chrom and never treated her husband with the love he deserved. So, she's an interesting character just, not very good when it comes to others, as her supports revolve around Chrom.

Not to sure honestly. I was thinking about Camilla, Corrin, Azura or Orochi if we don't have her by the time is goes up to vote.

Report

I don't know who every single vote will go to, so I'll just stick with listing my top 2 for each side:
Guys
Eliwood. Really underrated and underloved.
Marth. He got screwed by the character split in voting. Twice. His spot is long overdue.

Girls
Micaiah. Bias
Camilla. A great character who was screwed over by putting too much focus on fanservice, and by Fates' poor writing direction in general.

Report

I highly disagree. Why Marth besides the fact that he was the first lord character? Why michaiah? Also Camilla is overrated. Her japanese version had much better writing btw which was quite f**ked up but gave context to everything she does. I don't want her winning cuz most are gonna vote for her cuz fanservice sadly.

Report

I kinda agree with you disagreeing. I generally like Marth as in New Mysery he's given more background, but I still feel that he's pseudo bland (I do agree on Eliwood, though Hector has more growth).

Micaiah I can kinda see, she's the protag(deutag) of RD, so I can see the love. She is however kinda a butt, but she has her reasons so ehh.
Camilla however, I disagree on most of the time. Isn't her major reason for loving Corrin cause she was lonely as a kid during the concubine wars or something along those lines? Like, I'm not sure how that explains her obssession (Or if I'm missing something) but I must say, that I never liked her. I prefer Hinoka's level of obsession, as she has a reason and a logical way to show it. Like, sisterly love, not take a bath with me.

Report

Kay. So Camilla was forced to participate in the concubine wars to a degree and killed others including those who were practically family to her. She ended up pretty effed up and is afraid of others leaving her as a result so she would snap. Its a long story and takes too long to explain just here.

Report

To elaborate on my reasoning:
Marth - Aside from Eliwood, my other top choice would be Marth or Sigurd, but Genealogy is the only game in the series I haven't played and/or seen anything about. All I have to go on him is heresay, most of which has been positive. While he may be unfamiliar to me, I do feel like Genealogy is underrepresented, and Sigurd seems like the best choice to represent it. This, as well as the fact that the split system screwing him over, despite the fact that many people did want him to win, is the reason I chose Marth.

Micaiah - I should clarify by bias that I mean Tellius bias. Of all my choices, Micaiah is purely selfish. I love the Tellius duology and, as Ike has already won, she would be my second vote.

Camilla - She is overrated for the wrong reasons and underrated for the wrong reasons. And I will admit that, even as big a Camilla fan as I am, she has too many alts atm, mostly because there should be more variety in representation across any alts of any kind (if it matters, for perspective, I started with Awakening on release).
Now, to acknowledge your last point, I see it going 2 ways in terms of how I vote:
> I don't vote for her, which not only lets her detractors win, but would also be a disservice to those who genuinely like her for non-fanservice reasons. OR
> I vote honestly
