Updates.
1. The app-release bonus period will be extended to March 14th.
2. Half stamina needed for Training Tower will be continued indefinitely. The stamina requirements for the Training Tower will not 'go up' at any point. And the stamina cost for equipping skills will remain at 0 forevermore.
3. A patch is coming that will allow units to collect exp off of enemies much lower in level then the unit is.

These are all sensible permanent changes and I hope they end up increasing FE:H's longevity. EDIT: I've been reading info about Ephraim and Eirika and apparently they are... not good when it comes to their stats. ![](http://i.imgur.com/XsUriFR.png) Also the way they're written in the game feels like a mix between the ice skating brother and sister played by Will Arnett and Amy Poehler in "Blades of Glory" and the Lannister twins from Game of Thrones. Ephraim straight-up mentions how uncomfortably close people think they are, making it even more ridiculous!

I finally ended up with a first summon that I'm happy with lol, after like 5 or so re-rolls. I don't even normally do that, but I like FE characters a lot and I'm probably never spending actual money so
I'll post a screenshot later, but it was all 4 stars. I've only gotten one 5 out of all of those tries and it was a Robin.
I didn't actually know until this thread that Eirika/Ephraim weren't in the game yet lol, I was hoping to get Eirika. Also looking forward to several other GBA characters...
I like how they made Anna into a "main" character. I liked her a lot in FE:A lol, "Violence is on sale today!"

As mentioned by Goob's edit, Ephraim and Eirika are now in the game. Seliph and Julia from FE4 have also been added.
I tried to summon them, especially Julia since she was a ballot vote of mine, but no dice. But I did manage to find a 4 star Marth. I'll spend some time training him.
I spend too much time level grinding units, though. After I deal with Marth I need to deal with the last two battles of chapter 9 on Lunatic.

Oh, well Goob's edit was not even 10 minutes after my post haha. That's...good(?) to hear, but I'm more concerned with just having/playing them than their stats. I doubt I'll get all that serious with the whole thing, given that in order to be actually high level in these games you either need to play 99999 hours or spend all of your money. Not going to do either, most likely.

Just got a 5-Star Caeda through my last summoning session.
While I'm happy that I finally got a 5-Star character (still want Lyndis, though), I'm a bit confused why Caeda is a Red character in this game.
I'm aware that Caeda could [alternatively] use swords in the original NES games, but Caeda primarily wields Lances, and even starts with a unique "Wing Spear" in the Shadow Dragon DS remake. I would've expected Caeda to be a Blue character in Heroes.

My last summon was pretty bad heh

Really think that they should make an update that reduces the amount of feathers needed to promote a 4 star unit into a 5 star unit. 20k feathers is painful to go through.
Either that, or do more feather give-away events like the recent 10,000 feathers Twitter event, or give us regular Feather missions.
I've a Maria that I'd certainly like to promote into my first 5 star healer, but I'm about 10k feathers short. I'd also be interested in promoting my Marth as well once he's at 40, but it looks like there'll be plenty of waiting until I can truly form my A-Team.

All of you are talking about this Fire Emblem Heroes game, and I still don't even know what it is. Mobile game? I've never played a Fire Emblem, but my wife likes them. Is it like the Final Fantasy Record Keeper game? If it depends on limiting your play with time and forces you to constantly be going back to the game, or pay money just to play longer like FFRK does, I don't want anything to do with it. You are talking about drawing rare heroes. I generally frown upon games like that. I played Fantasica for a long time and the experience wasn't positive in the end. I can't believe games like that rake in so much cash. I don't want to show the industry that's where the money is.
However, if this game is like Hearthstone I'll gladly play it. I don't play Hearthstone anymore, but that was a great experience.
So please, tell me it's premise and gimmicks.

I don't play Hearthstone anymore, but that was a great experience. So please, tell me it's premise and gimmicks. So far as any players of this game know [and to get that inevitable mobile-game question out of the way], the micro-transactions in this game are only for getting more Orbs (for summoning/drawing new Heroes). It's entirely possible to acquire Orbs as rewards in other ways, of course. Through normal gameplay, as well as fulfilling special requirements ("quests"). This game is, like all other main Fire Emblem games to date, a Tactical RPG. It's turn-based, and movement of characters is based on a grid map. ^ I'd personally call Fire Emblem Heroes a "Fire Emblem-lite" game, but the gameplay of this series has always been simple to understand. (EDIT): As for its premise?:

That's it for Lunatic difficulty. Man, those last two maps were brutal. It's to be expected that Veronica and the masked guy would be unfairly strong units on Lunatic, but still.
Now I go back to level grinding, and wait for 4 days of app-release bonus orbs so I can do a full summoning again.

Mike, it does have a stamina system like FFRK, and almost all mobile games do in some way or another. I haven't ran out of stamina yet playing this though lol, it seems like you could go potentially hours at a time doing things almost. I'm generally fine with just playing 5-15 minutes a day myself, so it doesn't matter to me either way. I can almost always play the games I'm interested in without spending anything and still have fun enjoying collecting things.
I guess it depends on both your own personality/how you approach games and what you want from it. As far as the gameplay, yeah it's a tactical RPG. It does have more in the way of story than most. What may happen if you do try it out is you'll want to get into one of the non-mobile games, and there's a good one on most all Nintendo platforms. I've played the two GBA games and the first 3DS game, Awakening. All pretty good stuff. The older games have permadeath, which I like personally.

'Nother update.
The official JP Twitter account for the game made a tweet implying that there will be an event in early March that will involve the people on your Friend List in some way. Or at least, that's what I gathered using Twitter's translation tool.
Something that makes more use of the Friend List would be nice, though. At this time having Friends is just a way to get an extra 5 Hero Feathers per day, which is borderline worthless.

Yay, friend stuff is getting utilized! ...But it would also help if FE:H gave 5 fathers per friend rather than 5 feathers total.

So, then, immediately after I made that post I tried to do a summoning with 10 orbs.
...And I thought this event would come and go without me getting any of the new characters.
![](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C5KHUt3VcAEN1Dj.jpg)
I managed to get Julia! She's the only green unit with an anti-dragon weapon, making her the de facto anti-Nowi unit right now. She was also a Ballot vote of mine, so I'm greatly pleased to have acquired her.

Pulling 5-stars is the absolute best, no need to chew through your Hero Feather supply, lol. I'll be needing to do Hero Feathers to promote my 4-star Marth into 5-stars, though.
Rewatching the Fire Emblem Direct made me realize that they're clearly planning to have Navarre as a Grand Hero Battle in the future. In fact, I only recently realized that Navarre and Female Robin aren't currently summonable in the game. (They appear as story mode enemies, but that's it. I also note that while Male Robin is a blue unit, Female Robin is a green unit.)
I'm fond of Wyvern Riders/Draco Knights, so I enjoy having Narcian and Camilla, but I also have a lot of favoritism for the first representatives of the class in the franchise. So I'm eager to summon Minerva, and for them to announce the eventual Michalis Grand Hero Battle.
