Is the number of Fire Emblem characters even that strange, really? This is a series that has had consistent releases since the NES with no hiatuses, just like Zelda. Unlike Zelda, it does not use the same characters over and over and over--what Zelda character would you suggest to make sure the "most important series" have the most characters, Tingle? Beedle? Talon? Corrin will bring the number of Fire Emblem characters who are not clones of each other up to four--like what Zelda has. And I don't get the impression that Corrin was chosen for the same reason as Roy, just to promote the next FE. Yeah, it's kind of the same setup, but look at it this way: Roy ended up becoming a Smash legacy character who is only in now because he was in Melee. If you're going to potentially create one of those, what's better? Red Marth, or Chainsword McDragonfist?
Bayonetta looks super sick. Glad a good character was leading the ballots and none of the terrible ideas that the internet seemed to think were definitely gonna happen.
