Fire Emblem Warriors Adds A Significant Character From The Past

Finally we get characters from the older versions. Maybe sooner or later Ike will be revealed, since he's what most people have been looking for.

Lyn get's to join the cast? Sweet. I love her, she was one of my favorite Fire Emblem Characters. Looking even more forward for this game now. ^^

So happy about this! Been wanting older characters, and Lyn was top of my list! Hope to see more from the GBA games!

Fire Emblem Warriors Awakening and Fates & Marth. Featuring Lyn from the Fire Emblem series

@BensonUii and Navarre

@Malcrash Caeda and Navarre were also shown bringing the total SD characters up to 4 with Marth, Caeda, Tiki, Navarre so far.
Meaning this is Fire Emblem Warriors Awakening, Fates, Shadow Dragon and More from across the series!

The joke is officially tired now and seen as the Leak that said Lyn would be revealed in the direct also said Anna and Celica would also be playable means the list of games being featured is becoming too long to fit into a snarky comment.

@BensonUii I'm with you in praying for Hector, I also really want Ike but considering this is Team Ninja the fact they managed to fit in the two most popular female characters but no word on the most popular male is not a surprise 😂.
But I'm still super stoked for the game, my faves from Birthright, Conquest, Awakening and SD are here plus Lyn to represent GBA FE (although I would have preferred Hector, Eliwood or Roy) now I just need that Celica leak to be true and Ike and I'll be incredibly happy with the roster.

Lyn Smashes the competition!

Oh wait, wrong game.

Well, from Assist Trophy to playable character in another game, still an upgrade.

Awesome !! Next one ----> IKE

Bring Ike and Roy and will definitely be a game to consider.
It's looking better and better this FE, or it's just me?

Lyn! One of the Direct's best reveals for me. FEW might go up quite a few (no puns intended) positions in my wishlist for this character alone. Blazing Sword is the only FE I have played substantially so far, and while I lost the save file before finishing it, I passed Lyn's campaign and have fond memories of her. She and Florina are some of my faves in the series so far.

@AlexSora89 confound you, now I want Lyn as a playable character in Smash, too! orz

Could not believe she was added when I watched the direct. Was expecting she would be a dlc character. Can't wait to cut down my enemies with one of my favourite female characters of the franchise

@nhSnork

Did vote for her in the smash bros ballot

@Arnold-Kage I haven't heard of one; considering I only got a 3DS last summer, this had probably happened much earlier. I did cast many votes for her and Florina in Fire Emblem Heroes ballot, though.

...and I still can't play that game without resorting to sideloads because for some inexplicable reason Belarusian Google Play gets Nintendo apps months later than even Russia. :V

@Malcrash "Fire Emblem Warriors Awakening and Fates & Marth. Featuring Lyn from the Fire Emblem series" & Knuckles.

Was expecting a season pass announcement but we did get 2 more amiibo instead. Any word on what these amiibo do in game?

I really don't think Ntinedo comprehends the meaning of "toys-to-life". Maybe they should have called them DLCbo. Or just sold them as collectibles like this way cool Link Nindnedroid? Adorable. (Yes, I know it's old.)

He's so cute I want to embed every pic, but here's a Link.

Here's hoping for Roy and Ike.

And just like that, my faith in this game has been restored. Here's hoping this paves the way for other characters from the GBA era.

"Too many sword fighters" I will never trust Team Ninja again.
Look OK I get she is the most popular female character, but I'll just sit here wishing Ike was announced instead.

If this means that leak was real though...then that would be super disappointing, and not because the characters would suck but because that means there isn't a playable assassin or knight.

Gee, they sure seem to have a pretty keen idea of my least favorite characters in the series...

Glad Lyn made the cut.

@nhSnork

Well it was about 2,5 year ago it was announced. It the ballot that was won by bayonetta

A wait-and-see title. There's just so much coming out around this time already.

Finally

Fire Emblem is my favorite Nintendo franchise.
Fire Emblem on the GBA was my first FE and to this day is still my favorite FE.
Lyn (And Hector) are my favorite all time characters.
I literally started crying tears of joy when they showed the reveal of Lyn, I thought all of us older fans were going to be straight out of luck when it came to this game, but I am happy to be proven wrong.
Heres to hoping Hector is DLC!!!!!!!

Lyndis is still my favorite lord (Lucina is second) so I legit screamed when I saw her. I was already at maximum hype for this game...now it's overload time! Can't wait for my SE to come in.

@Peterjr1 Wrong group. The Koei-Tecmo team working on this is Omega Force, not Team Ninja.

Bout bloody time we had some old characters, seems like the leak was true.

@sp_initiate-001 I mean, it was a throwaway joke about how KT in general and TN are very sexy women oriented but for the record I was correct in saying TN as they and Omega Force as well as IS are all credited as developers

http://koei.wikia.com/wiki/Fire_Emblem_Warriors

Woohoo, Lyn! They added my favorite Lord from FE7! Give me an axe-wielding Hector, and I won't be able to pass this one up.

@nhSnork
We all wanted Lyn to be playable, no dancing around the issue here.

Hey, it's that assist trophy from smash bros. The watch my blade girl!

Lyn in HD. The gloriousness of this cannot be measured.

Just glad we finally got something besides 3ds plus Marth. Is it too much to ask for Ike?

Finally, Lyn love

@Peterjr1 Technically, Tiki is also an "Awakening" character.

Now how about Ephraim and Eirika, or are they too similar to the brand new protagonists?

That remix sounds very nice!

@BulbasaurusRex Who originated from Shadow Dragon and appears to be in her younger SD form so whats your point? Lyn, Marth, Caeda, Celica, Alm, Roy, Ike, etc. where also all in Awakening does that make them Awakening characters?

@Peterjr1 If she's in her younger form, then I guess she is more of a Shadow Dragon character for this game, but she is a character from both games.

No, that doesn't make the others Awakening characters, since they were only duplicates from the DLC maps that could be used as bonus characters for your army. Tiki was actually there in the flesh and played a role in the actual story of Awakening.

@BulbasaurusRex yes, but to act as if she isn't a full Shadow Dragon character because she appears in its sequel is ridiculous

@Peterjr1 I never said that. I was just adding on to your comment about how there are only four Shadow Dragon characters compared to the multitude of Awakening and Fates characters. Out of the four character representatives that Shadow Dragon does have so far, one of them (Tiki) is also an Awakening character, so that kind of suggests that the only reason Tiki managed to get in was due to her additional appearance in Awakening.
