Those all seem to be Kamui, who is also who the maids are talking to in the first-person shot. Combined with the variable appearance, that's definitely the avatar.

Robin was already a lord in all but name, so maybe they're cutting out the middle man.

You can customize the lord. Either a he or she, and you can change haircolor, maybe other things? Their map sprites are very similar and their animations are the same. Also, they're in the middle of all the units here

indicating that yes, they are the lord.

Isn't one thing about The Lord that their starting position can't be moved? Or is that image showing something different?

Yes, that's my point. Out of all positions the lord could start in on that map, that one makes the most sense. Also, we can see dancing girl (probably) to the lower left of her, which doesn't really make sense as a starting position for a lord.

New Fire Emblem is awesome news. I just hope that "Nintendo 3DS" logo in trailer means original 3DS not New 3DS. These new ones cost an arm and a leg where I live :ohdear:

I hope they make better map designs. Also, that there are win conditions other than Rout the enemy.

Yes, but this series has always been really anime when you get down to it so I'm not surprised.

I wanna know what the deal was with that giant that looked like it got lost on it way over from Dark Souls. Maybe that's the new world ending evil monster.

I hope that if they add Lunatic+ difficulty again, they'll make it challenging rather than luck based. And also make the main game more akin to the earlier Fire Emblem's difficulty.

That seems like a tall order considering the early levels have always been the hardest part of any hard mode, with only a few outlying chapters.

You could marry a Pegasus Knight, as well as be a Pegasus Knight. No shame in having two in the army.

Pegasus Knight is female only, so unless they have gay marriage you can't.

I am excited for this. I am very interested in what the whole "bows are part of the weapon triangle" part will bring, and if we need to rename it to the weapon diamond or weapon square.

Also, I'm marrying the Jeigan/Oifey character and nobody can stop me.

I'm going to spoil it for you, unless they've drastically reworked archers, all it means is that the one attack your guy gets will be marginally more accurate, and not only will he take the three he gets in response on the chin like usual, they will be more accurate and stronger.

We are kind of assuming things, archers might just have advantage against melee with no disadvantage. Or maybe they're weak to magic, or else that sword is a new slayer weapon for archers/bows.

That is all very true, and none of it changes my point that unless archers have been completely reworked they're still exactly where they started (terrible).
