I feel smart

esm8mI was right in my previous post about potential alts:
- Dimitri got a winter alt.
- Laurent came in the next Awakening banner, which was Gen 2, at the end of 2023 - maybe a little sooner than I thought, but not that far off.
So, my updates for the predictions:
- Everything I said for Roy still holds.
- Blazing Sword got a new heroes banner in November. It was cool to get Isadora and Harken! If they had wanted to give us an ascended/rearmed Eliwood, going for a Pherae theme with those two would have been reasonable, so I still think they aren't likely to give us one.
- Dimitri just got an alt, so he'll be on cooldown for a few months at least - this makes him less likely for Valentine's this year, I think. I think the kids banner is still a danger, though.
- Now that Laurent's in the game, I doubt he'll get any alts at all.
I realized I forgot a theme last time: Fallen! So, a quick rundown of that:
- I think it's unlikely Roy gets a Fallen. I haven't finished FE6, so maybe there's something there they can use, but from what I've read, I doubt there's something they can easily take advantage of.
- Fallen Eliwood actually seems decently likely - a Durandal-possessed version from the end of 28E seems doable. They've done Fallens based on short periods before, and they already took that time period for Fallen Ninian. Sadly he would be yet another sword unit, but hey, maybe they make him infantry this time. Also, his typical C skill (buffs when dragon) wouldn't make sense with that theming, so maybe something interesting would happen there.
- Dimitri already got a Fallen.
- I don't really know what they would do with a Fallen Laurent (Grima servant?), there isn't really much for them to use. As I said above, I find any alt for him extremely unlikely at this point.
So now I need to decide who I'm voting for in CYL, since Laurent actually got in!
