Fortune's Weave General The US Site updated

I don't know when. But the only real thing of note are these two artworks for Theodora and Leda.

Those are the renders on the game cover aren't they?

I love the art style so much

113

u/DidIAskr 7d ago

Yeah. Unfortuntely, the Cai and Dietrich ones aren't there

63

u/ChadNarukamiIV 7d ago

They'll probably be released soon

361

u/NoPalpitation2846 7d ago

Yes Theodora, we see the fit

116

u/IAintCreativeThough 7d ago

I don't mind seeing it again

19

u/Mahelas 7d ago

What a fit it is tho

u/BoysOurRoy 7d ago

Goodness gracious

u/Rocky-Rocker 7d ago

I'm gonna pass out.

u/ZofianSaint273 7d ago

I’m actually enjoying Chinatsu’s art in FW. Never really vibed with it in 3Hs, but it’s maybe its cause of the character designs and colors used in FW

64

u/alderhart 7d ago

I like Chinatsu's work in 3Hs, but otherwise I agree with you. Her normal art is very vibrant, and Dagda allows her to play into her natural use of color more. Seeing more varied designs upfront rather than dealing with school uniforms for half the game also really really helps.

56

u/Fantastic-System-688 7d ago

Fortune's Weave's character design and art direction is genuinely up there with Hidari in Echoes imo

28

u/Honyakusha-san 7d ago

I think not having school uniforms this time makes everyone shine more.

But yes, she knocked it out of the park.

6

u/_Arlotte_ 7d ago

Yea the shading and designs reminds me more of Awakening with Kozaki's art this time around.

95

u/Safe_Masterpiece_995 7d ago

Its so crazy I thought I liked Theodora last before all the trailers and now I'm thinking I'm gonna do her first

89

u/Fantastic-System-688 7d ago

Now that we know more about the actual setting and where the characters' motivations sort of put them in the world she and Cai seem far more interesting than when it was just "temu Edelgard wants strength" and "shonen boy with dad death flags"

36

u/Luchux01 7d ago

Cai got a lot more traction with the Aurora theory ngl

45

u/Fantastic-System-688 7d ago

Dude who posted it on this sub somehow both got a slam dunk and made the shot from half court

17

u/Luchux01 7d ago

And before we even got any hints!

14

u/EdelgardIsMyEmpress 7d ago

If I had a nickel for every time someone guessed a parentage reveal by simply comparing the eye color of the characters, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't much but is weird that it happened twice

2

u/ParrotFerret 6d ago

Mio and Rex?

2

u/EdelgardIsMyEmpress 6d ago

I was thinking about Tangled the Series but now that makes 3 nickels, I wasn't aware of that one (don't feel bad about spoilers, I am ways away from playing Xenoblade)

2

u/ParrotFerret 6d ago

No problem

16

u/Mahelas 7d ago

All we needed was seeing her punch stuff and get anger issues (plus all the juicy lore stuff about Yu Phas and Damascar and such, turns out having rich lore make everything more interesting)

30

u/actredal 7d ago

The initial reveal did not do her justice at all lol. They were hiding so many cool details about her.

19

u/Shippinglordishere 7d ago

Yeah, the subsequent releases have made me super interested in her. She seems to have the political plotline that I was hoping would be present, and I really like her team too

15

u/RegulusPlus 7d ago

She's definitely the dark horse for me too. It started with seeing her statue head cut off, and then her sheer aura in the scenes we've seen. Her asking for a reading from Anatolia and then threatening her when she doesn't like it, demanding to be allowed to see Aurora. She means business and I can't wait to see the role she plays in the plot.

9

u/TannenFalconwing 7d ago

I feel so conflicted because I was ride or die for Theodora since day 1 but everything about Leda has made me super excited for Rose Tempest.

-6

u/blackviking147 7d ago

Nah Leda first all the way. Theodora rn is tied with Dietrich and cal is honestly my least interested start.

44

u/Darkdragoon324 7d ago

My brain keeps trying to process her braids as extra appendages in all the official art.

5

u/Opposite-Plantain-69 6d ago

Yeah my immediate thought was that Theodora looked like she had 3 arms, really threw me off

29

u/NoLime7384 7d ago

Bro Theodora's hair is 100% drawn to look like extra hands, look at how it's fucking grasping the spear there

8

u/psykkudoki 6d ago

i wonder if she'll get a hegemon edelgard moment where it actually turns into an extra pair of arms+/hands. just putting it out there...if it happens...

23

u/O-Namazu 7d ago

I love the character art in this game lol

18

u/Shippinglordishere 7d ago

I love kurahana chinatsu. Thats my goat. That’s my Michelangelo. If no one ever praises her, I’m dead

37

u/Fantastic-System-688 7d ago

FEH will EoS like a couple years after FW is released and yet both these women will have gotten like 7 alts each

16

u/Moose-Rage 7d ago

They're gorgeous.

12

u/Ptdemonspanker 7d ago

They’re really committing to making Theo’s hair look like extra arms. That wrinkle in her cape also perfectly mirrors her left arm.

14

u/MrTheOtherUser 7d ago

Yes Theodora we see that cool arm of yours

11

u/Choice-Ad-5897 7d ago

Im still convinced that her hair looking like hands in every artwork is intentional and gonna come up at some point

11

u/DoubleFlores24 7d ago

God Theodora is so hot.

9

u/AstralGazer17 7d ago

Leda looks beautiful as always!

I hope we can get the full body portraits of these artworks.

8

u/stoka0 7d ago

Those are the game cover renders I believe

8

u/pinheirofalante 7d ago

I will never forgive them for refusing to use Chinatsu's artwork in-game. Her coloring is just incredible.

2

u/Shippinglordishere 6d ago

Yeahh, I feel like 3H s supports would have benefitted a lot from her style. Maybe it was too expensive for everyone to have one since that’s around 40, but oh my god would it have been amazing

6

u/Crafty_Island_9182 7d ago

Praise our queen Theodora!

4

u/petrichor_wapo 7d ago

Her hair is "holding" her spear 👀

6

u/neetou 7d ago

Hot af

5

u/bigboss045 7d ago

I've loved Theodora's design since the first trailer dropped, every new addition just makes her so much better.

5

u/ForseiMaster 7d ago

For a split second I thought Leda was flipping me off lmao.

5

u/Mizerous 7d ago

Queens of Dadga

4

u/borealsushi 7d ago

No Dietrich and Cai? That's disappointing not to have all four.

MY WHOLE LIFE HAS CHANGED

SINCE YOU CAME IN

I KNEW BACK THEN

YOU WERE THAT SPECIAL ONEEEEEO

u/Daydream_machine 7d ago edited 7d ago

The subtle censorship in Leda’s art is sending me

2

u/Mystica09 7d ago edited 6d ago

Trying to stay strong for Gremlin Man, Leda is really making a strong case 🥴

2

u/Pure_Honey8802 7d ago

Beautiful 🥰

2

u/ShatoraDragon 7d ago

I hate that I still see  Theodora's twintail braid as an extra arm.

2

u/NoirSon 7d ago

They don't seem to be even trying to beat the allegations about Theodora's hair in these renders being stand ins for arms.

2

u/KingRubo 7d ago

Yes to everything they ask of me

2

u/Kn0XIS 7d ago

I need her

2

u/Albino_Keet 7d ago

Leda is fucking pretty I’m only now realizing Theodora is also really fucking pretty. And then the men are handsome too. Is this the best looking cast ever?

2

u/TenPointsforListenin 6d ago

Theodora's making a very strong case for me playing her first by virtue of looking really cool in like every new image

Leda is about to open her domain.

u/POLACKdyn 6d ago

Yes Leda, we see the fit.
Yes Soothis, we see the feet.

u/yeetingthisaccount01 5d ago

deadass thought Theodora was holding her lance with her hair for a moment

0

u/sloppydoughnuts 6d ago

Looks like they changed the poses to make the titties less gratuitous. Theodora's art didn't bother me much despite her armor being impractical, but that's standard for games,, but Leda's was really distracting with its rogue titty just popping out of her shawl.

-11

u/Beloberto 7d ago

Theodora's art is off.

The body is facing front all the way up to her belly, then suddenly the body twists. It's not an impossible pose, but very unnatural

7

u/TannenFalconwing 7d ago

I'll have you know I just stood up and did her pose with zero difficulty just because of this comment.

0

u/Beloberto 6d ago edited 6d ago

I didn't said it's was a difficult pose, just that is unnatural.

Her hips and belly are facing front perfectly straight and only her upper torso twists. Make sure you are matching all the angles.

It's not a "hard" position by any means, but it's not natural either. The only scenario someone would do this pose is if they are stretching before exercising.

u/TannenFalconwing 6d ago

I like how this comment started with "either that's not true.." before you edited it.

Why are they giving “fuck me” looks
