So, while reading the Koei wiki, I came across this line.
Characters are automatically assigned based on their IP to one of the three factions: Tamaki, Setsuna, or Shiki.
Do we know at this time which IPs serve which royal?

I'd like to take a moment to make a point that during the Female Robin GHB, Nintendo dropped a hint as to who the next Grand Hero Battle character could be.
The notification for Female Robin's event contained an event that stated...
"When at 5-stars, this Hero can access her greatest powers as a magician and can learn to wield Gronnwolf+, which is es effective against mounted units. It’s also rumored that she could be very helpful for the next Grand Hero Battle. That is, if you can maker her your ally and level her up in time…"
From this, we can gleam that Female Robin gives an advantage over the recruitable character in the next Grand Hero Battle due to her weapon's anti-cavalry mechanic. Looking at how the GHBs have all been against characters who can't be summoned normally so far, that leaves us with the possibilities of Camus, Ursula, and Xander.
I would personally discount Camus, since he has a skill that negates 'effective against' bonuses. Xander is possible, but F Robin's tome wouldn't be quite so 'very helpful' since Xander would have a color advantage over her. So it's probable that Ursula is the next GHB.

First time set-up guide.
Even the set-up tutorial doesn't bother to read the User Agreement. I rate this video 10/10 for realism.

New characters have been added as part of the new Summoning Focus.
They also come with a new Paralogue, making for new easily acquired orbs.

March update incoming.
A new 'Inherit Skill' mechanic will be introduced into the game. While Nintendo's English Twitter only offered the name of this new mechanic, the Japanese Twitter sheds some more light on what's going on here.
To make one hero inherit a skill, you must send another hero 'home'. (It's unclear if you still get feathers or not if you do this.) The hero that gets sent home will have a skill given to a hero you keep.
With this system, characters that are already considered incredibly powerful (Robin, Takumi, Kagero, etc.) will become even more dominant.

The Fates characters have such cool art *_* I want to get adult Tiki. Also, do you have to unlock adding friends? I haven't seen that anywhere on the options. Adding Friends is done by going to the friend area of the home menu (that object in the bottom left that looks kind of like a tombstone), once in the Friend Menu go to the magnifying glass icon, and from there put in the other person's ID, that will send the Friend Request.

Well now...
I'd that that was harder then the Narcian map.
Anyway, after looking through her learnable skills, the most notable thing that comes to my attention is the fact that Female Robin can upgrade to an anti-calvary weapon. (i.e. does bonus damage to horse riding units) That is a fairly unique trait at this time, the only other units who do that are Raigh (who is popularly considered a bad unit) and Ursula (currently an enemy-only unit).

This image, courtesy of the Japanese Twitter account for the game, confirms that Female Robin is coming. Probably a Grand Hero Battle, your chance to have her will come tomorrow (Thursday).
Note that the in-game notifications do not currently mention this, but I'm sure her event is still coming to the West.

I'm... really bad at giving thank you speeches, but I want to thank this community for being so good. I've seen too many forums that seem to just be warzones and periods of calm between warzones (ex. the official FFXIV forums). This forum has been exceptionally civil, with very few if any moments that really look like they required mod intervention. I have been part of precious few forums, because too many of them are like that, but the Bloodstained forum is something I'm happy to be a part of.
Although, when I look at those longer, more analytical posts made in the threads dedicated to the Updates, it does a good job of making me feel like I contribute nothing here, hehe.

Pulling 5-stars is the absolute best, no need to chew through your Hero Feather supply, lol. I'll be needing to do Hero Feathers to promote my 4-star Marth into 5-stars, though.
Rewatching the Fire Emblem Direct made me realize that they're clearly planning to have Navarre as a Grand Hero Battle in the future. In fact, I only recently realized that Navarre and Female Robin aren't currently summonable in the game. (They appear as story mode enemies, but that's it. I also note that while Male Robin is a blue unit, Female Robin is a green unit.)
I'm fond of Wyvern Riders/Draco Knights, so I enjoy having Narcian and Camilla, but I also have a lot of favoritism for the first representatives of the class in the franchise. So I'm eager to summon Minerva, and for them to announce the eventual Michalis Grand Hero Battle.

So, then, immediately after I made that post I tried to do a summoning with 10 orbs.
...And I thought this event would come and go without me getting any of the new characters.
I managed to get Julia! She's the only green unit with an anti-dragon weapon, making her the de facto anti-Nowi unit right now. She was also a Ballot vote of mine, so I'm greatly pleased to have acquired her.

'Nother update.
The official JP Twitter account for the game made a tweet implying that there will be an event in early March that will involve the people on your Friend List in some way. Or at least, that's what I gathered using Twitter's translation tool.
Something that makes more use of the Friend List would be nice, though. At this time having Friends is just a way to get an extra 5 Hero Feathers per day, which is borderline worthless.

Hehe, I came here right after I saw that Koei Tecmo's Japanese Youtube account (I'm subscribed to it) posted his trailer.
So then, that's all 30 characters. Now I just cross my fingers for a possible Western release. Just hope there can be an English dub, we haven't had an English dubbed Warriors game in quite some time.

I think at this point, my biggest concern with the Switch is whether or not it'll have HDCP. HDCP is content protection, and if the Switch has it I won't be able to record it with my Elgato capture software.
The Wii U didn't have HDCP, so I think there's probably nothing to worry about.

That's it for Lunatic difficulty. Man, those last two maps were brutal. It's to be expected that Veronica and the masked guy would be unfairly strong units on Lunatic, but still.
Now I go back to level grinding, and wait for 4 days of app-release bonus orbs so I can do a full summoning again.

Really think that they should make an update that reduces the amount of feathers needed to promote a 4 star unit into a 5 star unit. 20k feathers is painful to go through.
Either that, or do more feather give-away events like the recent 10,000 feathers Twitter event, or give us regular Feather missions.
I've a Maria that I'd certainly like to promote into my first 5 star healer, but I'm about 10k feathers short. I'd also be interested in promoting my Marth as well once he's at 40, but it looks like there'll be plenty of waiting until I can truly form my A-Team.

As mentioned by Goob's edit, Ephraim and Eirika are now in the game. Seliph and Julia from FE4 have also been added.
I tried to summon them, especially Julia since she was a ballot vote of mine, but no dice. But I did manage to find a 4 star Marth. I'll spend some time training him.
I spend too much time level grinding units, though. After I deal with Marth I need to deal with the last two battles of chapter 9 on Lunatic.

Updates.
1. The app-release bonus period will be extended to March 14th.
2. Half stamina needed for Training Tower will be continued indefinitely. The stamina requirements for the Training Tower will not 'go up' at any point. And the stamina cost for equipping skills will remain at 0 forevermore.
3. A patch is coming that will allow units to collect exp off of enemies much lower in level then the unit is.

That goes on until the 20th of this month. Though I should mention that the chopped in half stamina requirements only affected the Training Tower, not the story missions.
They really need to give us a way to increase our max stamina, though. 50 just isn't cutting it when there are maps that demand 20+ stamina just to attempt.
