Is there a character creation or is the protagonist fixed and immutable?

[Gregor Eisenhorn]

Long time Fire Emblem fan. Just wanted to know if there's the possibility of customizing your characters like in the latest FE games or if it's more like the older ones, where the protagonist is fixed and non-customizable.

no you cannot. it is a fixed and immutable character!xp as far changing his hairstyle, or other face features you cannot.

Thanks!

they have the characters that i draw for practice meaning it is the most generic looking ones

well i rather have generic looking chars that look like human beings instead of freaks of nature, more often than not we see in triple A games because decent looking humans can be offensive.

I was on the fence already because of the generic art style. To me personally, the game lacks personality in the art department, something that can be there even without a very realistic style, like the recent Symphony of War, which is pixel-graphics but has a lot of charm.

The fact that you also cannot customize your MC ultimately means that this game isn't for me, but i wish the devs well, we need more FE-like games.

that's because you're not really playing as the MC. It basically works like FE or XCOM 2 where you are basically the commander, not a battlefield unit/soldier

i think you should play MMO since you can customize your characters there. this isent a MMO but a single player game.

one of the most succesfull single player games up to this day, you cannot customize your character iether . ever heard of the Witcher 3? a fixed male character , and he is not very handsome.

Cutomising the soldiers you control would be so good of an addition as, especially in Maniac mode, you get attached to your characters, just like XCOM. With all pre-made characters, I doubt you will feel bad if any of them die on the battlefield.
Even a simple name change would help with this.

I'll keep it on my wishlist for now and see if the Devs add something along these lines. The game looks great btw!

@upuaut2
The Witcher comparison really doesn't fly as you control one single character and not a party of soldiers. These types of games really need customisation, like Battle Brothers and Wartales have. Nothing to do with single player games not having customisation as those are also single player games, and way more similar to Lost Eidolons.

but keep in mind that most of this recruits are set in stone type of characters with their own stories. not just random recruits you know nothing about .alas xcom.

but you should be able to customize armor and weapons, i wish we could

Ever heard of skyrim, fallout 4, dragon age inquisition, pokemon, divinity, etc? they all are not an MMO but still have character customization.

There are literally hundreds if not thousands of amazing single player games that offer extensive character customization.

The main character and honestly characters in general are a bit on the "unreal store bought asset" style of generic, but all the reviews I've seen says the game is good despite looking generic as hell, we'll see if that's true, hopefully the game does well since we need more games like this, it's a genre that sees very little love outside of Fire Emblem and that's enough reason to support it. For a first game by a new developer this game looks pretty decent, if this is what they can do then I'll look forward to see what else they can make in the future. Despite the generic male main character, I will give this game a shot, if only for the fact it's one of the few games in this style to come out and seemingly be decent.
