Splendid idea. Maybe we could all get impaled on the same lance.
THIS LINE.

I laugh at it every time I hear it.

Ah, the ever-memetic "Shut up, Tobin". Max Mittleman does it SO WELL.

Python's voice actor is Doug Erholtz, famous probably for his role as Gin from Bleach, as well as Hazama from Blazblue and (recently) Jean Pierre Polnareff from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders.

I don't know much about Forsyth's VA, Chris Carson, but he does pretty well.

I don't even know/recognize Fernand's VA, but he's alright as well.

And Clive is voice by Grant George, who's also done Sigurd from FE4 in Heroes, as well as Steely Dan from JJBA: SC and Kagura Mutsuki from Blazblue.

Ehhhhhhhhh.

I don't like Fates. But I do love specific characters from it.

I really, really liked a few characters who had the same (or similar) roles on both sides of the Birthright/Conquest split.

Leo/Takumi, Kaden/Keaton, Shiro/Siegbert, and Hana/Arthur are my big 4/8.

Fates has some REALLY charming, memorable characters. It just has a lot more flat/recycled/boring characters.

I dunno, I just want a Fire Emblem game to start off with your My Unit creation; the standard "What's your name?" "Are you a male or female?" "What's your affinity as far as Supports go?" "What color hair do you have?" and then immediately gear-shift into "HOLY loving poo poo, the entire Imperial Army is attacking your village, here's a Rapier and an Iron Sword and a Vulnerary, WHY ARE YOU STILL STANDING THERE, DO YOU WANT TO GET KILLED!?"

No buildup. No subtlety. No immediate backstory beyond what can be gleaned from the back of the box. Just have My Unit be as confused as you the player are as to what the hell's going on.

Next map, no explanation of plot, just "RUN FOR YOUR LIFE, HERE'S YOUR BEST FRIENDS RED CAVALIER, GREEN CAVALIER, AND JEIGAN, RUN YOU FOOL," and the third map "here's your other friends Pegasus Knight, Archer, and Priestess, WE'LL EXPLAIN WHAT'S HAPPENING ONCE IT'S SAFE WHICH IT ISN'T."

I guess this is why I don't write Fire Emblem games.

I don't like a game that relies on shock value for engagement.
