Someone on the anime staff is going completely unchecked.
>>4562951First she fucks Dot in a tent and now the literal pussy is all over her.What an alpha.
>>4563068Today's episode was wild, the group met a family of impersonators and rather than the obvious choice of the mother being Liko, the father being Roy and the children being Dot and Ult, the mom was Liko, the dad Dot and the kids Roy and Ult('s Sableye). You don't do that by accident.
>>4563071I'm not fully caught up yet but I've seen some screenshots. I'm not sure if TPCI/GF/Nintendo would ever allow their protag to be full homo, but having their cosplayers be married with kids is a bit more than subtext.
>>4563073>I'm not sure if TPCI/GF/Nintendo would ever allow their protag to be full homoYou say this but TPCi/GF/Nintendo would never allow their protag to be full hetero either
In case you missed it the Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave artbook "leaked"(as in someone took a photo of one page of generic units) so the game's probably ready to start its advertising campaign and runup to launch if the art books are already printed.Which is great for me cause I was at the point of seriously contemplating wishlisting some of these FE clone SRPGs that possibly could have yuri in them.
>>4563296Probably August since Nate said summer and every other leak of his from that batch has turned out accurate so far. I bet they'll reveal the date in a June Direct.
why does it feel like May doesn't have as much shipping art with girls from her own game as other main girls do?I think May and Flannery could be pretty fun
>>4563352Because no RSE girls are popular other than May herself.
>>4563352prior to Gen 5, Gym Leaders were mostly one note. 99% of Dawn's yuri shippings are with Cynthia. Even if personally I prefer May x Dawn
>>4563584>99% of Dawn's yuri shippings are with Cynthiaand we're all thankful for that, all pokegirls should have an age gap relationship with one of the gym leaders of their generation
>>4563584>Even if personally I prefer May x Dawnthat's just two mirrors pointing at each other
>>4563352As much as people like stuff like Sabrina/Erika, Cynthia/Dawn, Hilda/Bianca, Rosa/Roxie, etc., Pokemon yuri doesn't really take off until Sun/Moon's Mizulili and then really the unyielding powerhouse that is Gloria/Marnie.Going back to the yuri pixiv rankings posted in the last thread >>4559083https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzMi_2c0ap0>pretty much just Touhou>then Madoka hits like the Cambrian explosion of yuri>then finally some Nintendo stuff really starts having a presence with 3H and SwSh at the tail end of the decade in their release yearFace it, pre-2010s yurifags basically had KnM, Shiznat, Nanofate and Touhou along with the smattering of yuri series translated into English or even more rarely adapted into animation. If you have to ask why there's barely any yuri art of this or that it's because it came out before Madoka and wasn't in an indie darling bullet hell series.>tfw being a Piltover's Finest fan before ArcaneThen going back to it, by the time we circled around back to Ruby and Sapphire with the remake, people were more interested in pairing May with the Magma/Aqua lieutenants and Zinnia, or Courtney and Shelly with each other. And that was STILL pre-Sun/Moon so you don't have that force multiplier in play yet.
>>4563598>May with the Magma/Aqua lieutenants and ZinniaDon't forget Lisia and, for the Pokefuckers, Gardevoir itself (which was a Gen 3 debut, remember).
>>4563598>people were more interested in pairing May with the Magma/Aqua lieutenants and Zinnia, or Courtney and Shelly with each other.what do guys like more? I think I like May with Courtney but Shelly is also nice
>>4563598Shipping fanworks in general was just a much smaller niche back then. Hell, the internet was a lot smaller, and social media didn't exist. There was some Japanese stuff, but Pixiv didn't even launch until a year after the release of Diamond and Pearl. It's hard to rate the popularity of anything from that era relative to now.
>>4563635In the absence of a japanese art distribution website ala deviantart, events like comiket are where artists would converge to showcase their pieces and reflect the popularity of the characters. Misty has had doujins since the 90s for example, and there's a LOT of yuri stuff for series like Touhou made even prior to Pixiv and the popularity of those pairings proceeded to be reflected on that site afterwards. Meaning that it doesn't matter if Pixiv arrived after the game's release, the pairing's popularity should have been noticeable regardless (be it on pictures subsequently uploaded on Pixiv or the aforementioned doujinshi) considering the next game was still years away just like how Gloria/Marnie dominated the Pokemon yuri scene up until SV came out.
>>4563651Basically, the yuri scene in Pokemon simply wasn't strong enough at the time and the yuri community mostly focused on other series.
>>4563611I'd say Courtney got way more shipping attention than Shelly because people liked the creepy direction ORAS took her personality. Nothing wrong with Shelly, but I get the feeling that people were more focused on her body than her character.
>Nintendo starting its big Star Fox push for its release in a few weeks>State of Plays range from embarrassing to just a boring waste of 30-90 minutes of everyone's time>Xbox shows are generally pretty good but Game Freak is once again dividing attention between the pokemon game they should be focusing on and some bullshit no one will remember exists in five months is an unforced error that's just gonna be chronically annoying>Summer Gamesfest is just a Dorito Pope extortion racket with the occasional big publisher thing he loops in for freeI don't need a big giant ass direct, just do a few overview trailers and fill out the calendar to Oct-Dec with some B to C-list releases or legacy HD Zelda/Metroid port shit and they get a passing grade. And do a hard confirm of yuri romance in the new FE.
>>4564623Next new Zelda game will have a character creator where you can play as Gerudo, I know this because I've sacrificed 3 virgins to a demon to make this happen.
>>4564625>Zelda game>character creatorYou must have sacrificed some sluts because the demon lied to you
>>4564870Why does the heart have a Zubat?
>>4564873Gen 1 encounter rates.
>>4564633Wouldn't have been that far off from actual reality.>Retro pitched a Zelda RPG that would've have had multiple playable race reps>the two BS Zeldas had a female player option who much like the famous/infamous shonen captain art was just a red haired girl in Link's clothes taking up the Master Sword or the Zelda 1 magic sword to defeat Ganon and rescue ZeldaYou figure with how many 2D Zelda indie clones there are out there somebody would've jumped on the "female sword-wielding adventurer rescues a princess and then they have marathon lesbian sex" concept
>>4564912At least modders are determined to put Linkle in all the classic games.
>Micaiah and Camilla dual unitOdd pair.
>>4565050Isn't that their CYL year pair? Like every CYL group is going to get pairs, e.g. Chrom & Seliph or Edelgard & Lysithea?
>>4565053I can't say any of the future pairs are any I'd care about besides maybe Edelgard/Lysithea who already has 3 Houses to supply a little bit of ship art
I hadn't checked this thread in several months and was not disappointed, thanks sisters.I am waiting impatiently for Fortune's Weave. I am going to serve with my entire life fuck Theodora.

Another round of Liko slobbering over Gurumin next week.
>>4565452Need her and dot to interact with gwynn and canari. Liko and gwynn getting into arguments about who the better streamer is while their girlfriends are doing a collab
>>4566468
Damn, Atlus really hates Nintendo huh.
Nintendo Direct tomorrow June 9 7AM PT (10AM ET)
>>4566491Holy rare pair. Is there any Brittany/Nelle cousin incest?
Girl protagonist for next Zelda game and Super Metroid remake tomorrow.
>>4566491Bar is on the floor after the abysmal SoP and meandering SGF. If they can just do an Xbox and just have 50 minutes of trailers but with at least 3-4 things that actually release this year I'll call that a solid performance.Also fuck it they should release Fire Emblem Four Houses on the same day as GTA6 in November.
>>4566675>stuck in traffic because the mayor suddenly closed the street off and set a Wild Zone up again
The bar truly is in the Paris Catacombs. The only game I have a little bit of hope of seeing good content of in this direct is Fire Emblem, and even that I'm extremely skeptical of. We're in the trenches.
>>4566678From what I've seen all people care about is potential Deltarune news. Nobody even expects a new Mario or Zelda or anything else coming from Nintendo to be any good anymore, fuck-ups like Prime 4 did way too much damage.
10 minutes of Wii Sports 4 and 10 seconds of Duskbloods, very cool.
>>4566737Did you miss new Xenoblade with female MC? Not that it will be yuri knowing Monolith.
>>4566738I don't really care for Xenoblade. I got the first one which everyone tells me is the best and it's still one of the most painfully repetitive games I've ever played. If everyone thinks all the other entries are worse then I sure as hell don't want to touch them nor do I have faith in the new one.
>>4566738Apparently the tan guy in the white shirt is the other protagonist? Considering the last shot in the trailer is him and FeMC riding off into a field side-by-side, I'd bet they're going to be the main couple. Not worth holding your breath for yuri.
>angels taking Byleth's spot in the center of the Fortune's Weave coverOh boy are we in business
>>4566762I'm holding out hope that the you're-so-cheeky-for-a-backwater-noble girl has something, like come on, the very first thing we see of the MC in the trailer is that girl clearly trying to humiliate the uppity commoner at the Magic School Aptitude Testing or whatever, that's like THE classic setup. But given the scene with the protagonist collapsed on the floor while [oops, here''s the REAL MC] powers up with anime rage, I doubt it.
>>4566765First trailer really made it look like Cai was the MC but no, I guess he's just one of the four lords despite being the most MC-coded character imaginable and the angel is this game's self insert.
>>4566738>expecting yuri from a series that confirmed that the twink retard from 2 married and got pregnant all three of the female protagonists of said game
Dragon Quest Monsters had 2 female leads. Potential yuri?
>>4566864None because its the heroines from 5 when they were younger.
>>4566823>expecting yuriI literally wrote it won't be knowing Monolith.
>>4566777
>>4566798It was always clear from the first trailer that the other lords were going to be just as important with them having different user interface sigils, he was just the one that got a weird amount of attention and the out-of-battle footage, but Nintendo press releases and screenshots emphasized all four.
>>4567114>>4567143Yuri where?
>>4567150Right there.
How much yuri are we expecting in Fortune's Weave?
>>4567230bout three fiddy
>>4567230Depending on if the avatar is an actual avatar and not just a weird tulpa thing and what the support/ending options are. After Engage's sales I'd expect Intelligent Systems knows where the money is. We also have two female lords this time around which might improve the odds or not even independent of the avatar. So I would say the minimum threshold of yuri being a romantic ending with two female characters has very good odds. Leda's already looking like she's going to be the equivalent of Edelgard in the sense that the biggest chunk of people buying the game are going to play her route first and anecdotally from all the social media polls she's taking an early lead as the most popular of the four. So I might just go Theodora just cause I feel like if we end up with a bunch of route rehashing again that Leda's route will be so well-documented by everyone else.Either way we got 3 months and Splatoon and Rhythm Heaven among other stuff in the meantime.Now if only Theodora or Leda could recruit the other into their route.
>>4567230I do not trust IS to be able to write anything but one-note characters and a plotline worse than ChatGPT.
>>4567267Yeah, Three Houses was just that.
>>4567230None.
>>4567230Lesbians don't actually exist in Fire Emblem other than apparently Heather from the Wii game. At best you'll find bisexuals.
>>4567298Anon just came out of a coma they've been in since 2012
>>4567321You're thinking of bisexuals.
We've come a long way, FE sisters. I have my hopes up for more /u/ content in Fortune's Weave than Three Houses.
>>4567335I just hope we get non-Avatar endings. Games getting rid of rival marriages/romance to appeal to self inserters who think anything not with a generic main character is cucking is making games worse
>>4567368There's not really rival marriages/romances like Story of Seasons. I don't think anybody's really cared about what characters can romance whom outside of that surreal insanity way back in 2013 where fangirls got really mad Nintendo was putting out Awakening promotional stuff pairing Chrom with Sumia to the point the constant online harassment got so bad they straight up changed one of the cutscene names from "Lovebirds" to "Rescue" between the NA and EU releases.Even when that one FE franchise "Destined partners" chart came out like a year or two back it had less of a response and I have legit seen Dimitrifags edit 3H development infographics to try to make it look like Azure Moon was the first route made.Really, Engage's problem with its FE6-style "only Alear gets endings" thing is more just somebody at Engage's design level thought people would like fucking around with old legacy characters that nobody has any serious nostalgia for vs supporting and developing a brand new cast of characters even though the three most successful FEs including Awakening all prioritized their new cast. The new characters get shafted so we can have conversations with Ike and Roy and Marth. And thus we have another post-Awakening FE that sold less than Awakening.Going back to 3H's setting is a panic button response and it would silly if they didn't emphasize all the shit people liked about 3H.
>>4566738>>4566762I'm really sad that xenoblade is always het stuff. I like the art style and gameplay well enough but the focus on het kinda ruins it for me.
>>4567484There's sheeba and that's about it
>>4567484We can still dream for a Xeno Yuri centric game. I feel like Genesis could take that next step.
>>4567518That's a pipe dream.
>>4567519>That's a pipe dream.It's really not.
>>4567518Best we can hope for is a side pair like them, but hopefully with more focus.
>>4567520It really is.
>>4567523We're not getting crumbs you know. Just give us that half slice of pizza and cake. >>4567525No it isn't.
>>4567527Fire Emblem is much more likely to contain much more yuri
>>4567368Sis, we got those with Three Houses. Pairs like Mercedes/Annette and Hilda/Marianne went the "gal pals who remained the very best of friends for the rest of their lives" route but Dorothea/Manuela and Dorothea/Petra were pretty unambiguously romantic. The Catherine/Shamir ending was not explicitly /u/ but doesn't require anyone to have their /u/ goggles on super tight to see it as a marriage. That's why I've allowed myself to get my hopes up a bit. The /u/ progression has directly matched the sales progression. Echoes and Engage were outliers and they sold like shit. I think - I HOPE - the devs have learned their lesson by now. I can't wait to see how many women Theo and Leda are going to have in their harem.
>liko gets to bang this autistic, masc, qtWhat a lucky gal.
>>4567637Tiny.
>>4567537Xenoblade and Fire Emblem have a pretty high chance to have Yuri romances as well. We're having a great time right now.
>>4567745>Xenoblade and Fire Emblem have a pretty high chance to have Yuri romances as well.>Xenobladewhich bootleg of Xenoblade you played? the only one with a hint of it was XCX
Are they gay?
>>4567852Yes but they are too professional to let it show
>>4567852One cute detail is that in the Torna prequel DLC Brigid does not do the heart idle animation
Liko couldn't contain herself this episode.
>>4568004You can pinpoint when her brain stops working.
>>4568005It gets to the point of pissing Meowscarada off...
>>4568006And to her pulling a stacy move on Liko.
>>4568007The official anime account tweeted that Gurumin gave Liko a private dance after the big show.
Is there any chance Fortune's Weave will produce a character who generates as much yuri fan content as Edelgard?
>>4568011I feel Leda has the most potential if she can romance girls.
>>4568011I doubt it. I don't see either Leda or Theodora becoming as popular as Edelgard and whatever ships emerge are going to need that Lord boost to compete
>>4567852Yes,they even had a child together.
>>4568011Not at all.
>>4568007Overly romantic cat
>>4568011Leda is seemingly 4H's Edelgard as far as being the most popular of the lords and looking to be the route more than half the playerbase picks on launch, but even for what little Edeleth art existed as soon as female Byleth's design was revealed, it didn't really blow up until we got the early leaks that showed Edelgard was a yuri option for the player character. And then these threads started hitting bump limit in less than a week.>tfw looking at old pre-release Edeleth pics just to feel something
>>4568112Leda is the only one who is interesting. Well, I guess the shotacon version of Leda will be good or fujos.The other woman is super unappealing and I don't care about anime Dracula.
>>4568701>>4568702Based on a frame in the next episode preview.
It's a shame they abandoned the idea of "Edelgard can nullify Byleth's divine pulse" because the yuri potential is incredible, even if it's something as simple as Byleth doing something silly, trying to rewind and Edelgard seeing right through it.
Bold advertising campaign.
>>4569352Just make it Linkle instead of just slapping tits on Link
In case you missed it today's Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave/Thousand Purple Blossoms update was about Theodora. And I guess we'll get Leda's profile as the last of the lords in around 8 hours.>【Protagonist】Theodora (CV: Megumi Hayashibara)>The young queen of the Kingdom of Salamis, which reveres the Dougza Empire as its suzerain.She possesses an indomitable will to confront any hardship and is endowed with the qualities befitting a king who stands above others.>●Likes: Conflict, the happiness of Salamis's people>In battle, sweep away enemies with the "Spear of Mahamadu," said to have been wielded by legendary heroes. >Furthermore, you can also use the "Stratagem" command to perform area attacks or recovery by borrowing the power of legion soldiers.
>>4569428>Likes: Conflictsounds like your typical shit stirrer gossiping bitch
>>4569428Is she the Edelgard-coded one?
>>4569430It makes more sense if you read it as "battle" or "combat" like she enjoys scrapping not that she enjoys the broad concept of conflict in the same way Dietrich likes desserts and cares for his little sister.>>4569445Edelgard-coded in having a red and gold color scheme and a horned headpiece, and so far being the only actual noble among the lords. I'd bet Theodora and Leda are very serious characters from the very first reveal because Edelgard was so popular for being a serious female lord in comparison to the prior more passive and benign ones in the series, but other than that I feel like they want to give a wide berth to the original 3H lords and/or deliberately evoking comparisons.
>>4569656Someone has to say it, that armor is just not practical.
What did they mean by this?
>>4569711One of her special abilities is literally just ripping a boulder out of the earth and chucking it at someone. She'll be fine. Going off her retainers and troops, dressing for flexibility over coverage seems to be the general vibe of Saramis and since everybody else seems either movement-oriented or Leda has the whole summoning thing, she'll be the powerhouse of the four lords so her stats will probably make up for not having armor. Dietrich is wearing armor but is also a myrmidon so probably shouldn't be taking hits anyway.
>【Protagonist】Leda>A super-first-class vihuela player who plays enchanting melodies.>Triggered by "a certain incident" that occurred 5 years ago, she embarks on a life consumed by revenge and resentment.>●Likes: Memories of her parents, performing the songs of her homeland, jewels, applause >In battle, they can skillfully switch between close-combat weapons like swords and long-range bows, as well as play the biwa to buff their allies.

>>4570480
Even if 4tune's Weave drops the ball it's nice to see people still drawing Edeleth/Edelgard with other girls years after her game came out.
>>4571161I barely see any art of that anymore on Pixiv. I see more Fates stuff than anything.
>>4571161>>4571165There is enough Edeleth art for multiple lifetimes
>>4571267I don't remember Elesa being that much of a skyscraper.
>>4571299She's a big girl.
>>4571165pixiv is a terrible fucking metric for anything these days. Most active artists barely update it other than just mass dumping all their twitter art maybe two or three times a year.
