Don't like it? well...

I don't think weapon equipping is going to be a thing in this game.

Characters are given an innate color based off their main weapon/magic type in the regular FE games, I think any "equipping" will be skills and other passive stuff.

In games containing microtransactions, a "whale" is a player who becomes addicted to the game and spends an unreasonable amount of money on in-game resources, thereby subsidizing the game for others.

Free to play games tend to fund themselves on the 80/20 principle where 80% of the money comes from 20% of the consumers (except it's more like the 99/1 rule where 99% of the income comes from 1% of the users). Rather than try to make a game that everyone will spend a few dollars on, they try to make a game that a few people will spend thousands or tens of thousands of dollars on. Such people are sometimes referred to as "whales"

Oh wow. I never heard this term. That's interesting! I am not very familiar with gacha games in general. I hope Heroes is more like Nintendo's previous F2P offerings and that it'll be fairly easy to play the game without spending a lot of money. Especially if you have other poo poo to play.

Pokemon Company is its own thing, and the game was made by Niantic. No one at Nintendo was really involved.

Just from how the summons have been described it seems like FEHeroes will be more reasonable than a lot of other gacha games in terms of getting things you can actually use. I have a feeling that the real grindy/spend-to-skip-grind part will be upgrading the characters to higher star ranks, rather than just chasing super rare dudes from the summon. There will be summon chase stuff of course but you've got more control over results than other gachas I've played, I think. We'll see soon enough.

I did some math, and assuming max bundles, FE Heroes is pretty cheap. Each gacha roll is $2.14 (assuming you buy the $75 orb bundle and use the full orb discount rather than chasing a specific color). Compared to something like Puzzles & Dragons, where a gacha spin is $3.50 at max bundle, or FFRK where a spin is $3.21

This could mean that the cool stuff is about 50% rarer or it could just be a cheaper game

That said, don't spend money on this game

Erm, people can spend money on the game if they want to. In fact, some people have to, otherwise the game will either fail or they'll get more aggressive and make orb drops lower and spending money more and more of a requirement. That's kind of how FTP works. People should try to like not spend their life savings or whatever, but it is kind of silly to tell people not to spend money on a game.

We all collectively benefit from far away people spending money but every individual person who does will lose out because of it. It's the nature of the beast

Roy? Really? I presumed the Smash Bros. people wouldn't be voting in the poll for like a mobile FE game, but I guess I was proven wrong. On the plus side, Hector and Henry are in the top 12 males. :toot:

I'd be pretty OK with Ike winning top male. He is my second favorite lord (behind Hector).

The female choices on the other hand ...

At least Lyn is a pretty OK top choice. I'm really surprised to see Micaiah on there.

Whoever voted to get both Corrins in, but especially to get female Corrin that high, have incredibly bad taste.

Also there's no characters from the first six games apart from Marth (twice) and Roy. The Tiki that got in is from Awakening. I guess this is the strength of the worldwide fanbase, I'd expect a lot more from the earlier games from the Japanese fanbase despite no one having personalities in the first three games.
