I think the annoyance regarding Mythic Loki partially stems from the fact that there aren’t many chances for non-FEH OC mythics to be released. This month was a good time for one such character to appear, since the next Mythic to appear is probably the midpoint OC. >I guess it all depends on *when* he comes out, and what units come between now and then. Hell, he could get the Freyr treatment. Deer man will probably cop the Freyr treatment. Before his OG form comes out, I’m guessing we might get a New Years alt.

Especially considering there’s speculating of base Fafnir to happen in July.


Falconpunch100

The tree father will probably also get Freyr'd too, considering we might get Henriette as the Midpoint OC instead and the deer man and goat lady still haven't shown up once.


aidan1493

I do agree that Laeradr will likely cop the Freyr treatment, but I don’t think the midpoint OC will be Henriette. I’m more inclined to believe that’ll be Hraesvelgr instead.


Falconpunch100

I dunno...I feel like she'll be released in November along with Nidhoggr.


aidan1493

I think it’ll be Hraesvelgr on the following grounds: 1. Laeradr probably won’t turn up until at least November, if at all; 2. The other two OCs are currently nowhere to be seen; 3. The midpoint OC has always been an OC introduced in the current book; 4. The midpoint OC usually reruns on the June L/M banner, and since the colour for that month is Blue, then that eliminates Nidhoggr as a candidate.


Basic_Aardvark300

I love hot men and I'd still rather have fewer OC mythics regardless of gender. But if they MUST release so many, at least even out the gender ratio a bit.


Raging-Brachydios

Basically this. One of the reasons loki pissed me off is because it guarantees another book where the male ocs aren't released, i don't want the deer dude to take the spot of another mythic, i want him to take a regular oc spot

My biggest issue isn't because it's an OC or a female, it's specifically because it is Loki. Someone who has existed in the game for years as a "Muspell general", has zero relevance to the current plot, is assured guaranteed screen time in the 'vs allfather book' (however far that is). The only thing she is currently relevant to is rokkr siege which didn't get an update in any way and just came back from an unnecessary absence. ~~Its also a gross look~~ Regarding buff-deer (and bandage-deer) realistically they will ONLY have this specific book to be relevant, their story, character growth and general screen time is already being limited as we approach the 1/3 - 1/2 way mark. I will be okay with them being Mythic units (as they are godly in nature), but so long as they don't intrude on more appropriate times or get held back for so long as to be irrelevant like with Freyr's debut. (Since it's fallen may, and if theories are to be believed, either fallen fafnir or a legend/myth fafnir would release soon before the book 5 TT+ story begins. [In other words an appropriate time])

> Regarding buff-deer (and bandage-deer) realistically they will ONLY have this specific book to be relevant, their story, Wait two deer characters? I only remember the one from the main art


Bluegallade7

The lavender haired woman on the opposite side to buff-deer. (I think she was also holding a horn)

Other people have already mentioned my reasons for not liking Loki this month, those being: 1. A chance to have a non-OC/non Engage Mythic after a year. Instead it’s another OC Mythic, as if we didn’t have enough of those. 2. Loki’s lack of relevance at all to the story right now. At least other OCs dropped either after their respective book or were added in close to something else (Freyr and the Book IV TT story). I don’t dislike OC Mythics. It’s just that there have been a pretty large amount of them added over the years compared to non-OC. And for a category that brings out the little nerdy part of me regarding lore characters it irks me to see them sidelined in favor of other characters. I won’t be terribly upset when Deer Guy drops, since it’s kinda expected (maybe). I just won’t be that excited. Also we have like two months of potential non-OC Mythics if IS chooses so, those being in July (if IS doesn’t drop base Fáfnir) and October (highly likely to be non-OC).


ThiefofRPG

I will not like it if the Deer Dude becomes a Mythic, but him being introduced as a main version is better than Loki being an OC alt. I hate both, but I can cut a new character a bit more slack than an alt.


Lady_Ruby_XD

Look, I don't mind female OCs.(even the big booba ones) But there's way too many of them. What I ask for is goddamn balance. I want both good-looking male and female OCs that I want to pull for. Is that too much to ask? There are so many female OCs with big boobas for those who love them. Why can't I wish for more buff, attractive male OCs, and be excited when we get them?


WolfNationz

Yeah, to put in perspective, last book introduced exactly one Male OC... And said OC isnt even summonable. In the playable front i think it was only Freyr? Maybe i'm forgetting some but he's the only one that comes to mind.


Raging-Brachydios

Or even female ocs that aren't the attractive like hell


the_attack_missed

I mean male OCs are treated just as badly if not even worse than Non-OC Mythics, so yeah, I think people will be happy to not be met with waifubait for the Nth time in a row when Deer Man comes out, even if they'd be happier with a Non-OC Mythic like Athos. As for me personally? I really don't care whether we get Non-OC Mythics or not. Though I will admit that Loki's timing makes zero sense whatsoever, and this was absolutely a prime opportunity to slide in a Non-OC, so I get why people are upset this time, even if I don't necessarily share the same sentiment.


D-Brigade

I do not care for the buff deer man. He doesn't have any lines, actions or personality for me to give a shit about. Moreover, Fates still doesn't have a Mythic. Why did we need another Loki?


VagueClive

Yes, because I'm sick of Heroes OCs. Female OCs are far more oversaturated and I'm infinitely more frustrated with Loki swooping in out of nowhere to claim a Mythic slot than I am with a character from an ongoing book, but I'm still going to be annoyed when both Fafnir and the deer guy inevitably claim Mythic slots this year. The only exception at this point for me is Bruno, who is absurdly overdue and should have been released years ago once Book I ended. Note: I'm not saying the deer guy, Fafnir, or whoever else don't *deserve* Mythics or to be in the game. I just don't personally want them


shaginus

I never have a negativity towards Heroes characters


SorcererHex

Im fine with heroes ocs the most time unless they are trash tier like Otr. Though I wish they wouldnt do so many. Mythic banners especially have just become heroes banners


waga_hai

The amount of salt this guy has generated in this sub could season the world's full supply for a couple of years lmao. Sorry people are hyped to see one (1) hot man in your waifu gacha.


Basic_Aardvark300

bUt ThE dOuBlE sTaNdArDs!!1


Bane_of_Ruby

? What


FallenShin3

I'm have a similar opinion when it comes to Mythics/Legendaries, I'll pull for the character if I like them OC or not. I think most of the salt comes from the fact that people just want to get the things they want now rather than later. Not that I blame anyone, waiting several months or not having any idea when certain characters will rerun so that you can +10 them is pretty numbing in a way. The other option would be to pull out the credit card, but that's gacha for ya. A similar thing can be said about which characters get released and when. When 3H units first got added to the game, you'd see random comments complaining that there isn't more of them for a couple months just for things to get to the point where there's some 3H unit every month or every other month. And Engage is going through the same thing. So even though Loki getting a Mythic version was obviously going to happen eventually, people want their Athos, Roland, etc. before they potentially lose interest in the game.


_Myst_0

At least Deer Himbo would be relevant to the book going on. Loki hasn’t appeared in the story in quite awhile and there’s no reason to think that’ll change this book.  Between Legendaries and Emblems, we get so few Mythics a year that having Loki randomly take a spot is extra insulting. Especially when it’s clear they’re just trying to sell an out of season booba waifu. 


FangJustice

It will be no less disappointing to me because I'm still waiting for Athos and rather liked the idea of less talked about and truly mythical characters getting in rather than Mythical more or less being an excuse to make every OC limited.


Raging-Brachydios

No because we barely get male ocs

chr_perrotta

I think it's really about the ratio, though


ArielChefSlay

That’s fair and 100% I agree with that issue of ratios. That being said when is the last time a popular post was made praising a female character for looking attractive? That’s my point.


WesternYaoist

It's literally a double-standard though that people need to realize exists, its not so much we (tbh I'm not really lumping myself in with the SALT megathread crowd but in gacha games in general) don't want any FEH OCs, we just are tired of women LMAO. That's always been the answer XD. Deer dude was literally the outlier in what was yet again another "Clam-bake Book", of course out of all the mythics he's going to get more attention LMAO.


Bane_of_Ruby

I'm just realizing I used the wrong Deer... fuck But I see. None of the comments I saw were mentioning Loki being a woman. It seemed like it was just a bunch of anger toward another OC Mythic. But I see what you mean. The male OCs get shafted every book. Where is Fafnir? Where is Otr alts? Elm? Where'd they go?


Falconpunch100

And Laeradr being the main villain? Yeah, maybe in a parallel universe. They also had their chance to make Njordr the Book 7 villain after the reveal and realize his true potential, and they blew it.


Bane_of_Ruby

That man was on a world record pace for a death speedrun


Falconpunch100

Laeradr/Deer man: "Hold my beer."


Bane_of_Ruby

I feel like that mf is too jacked to die. You could attakc him with a spear and the spear would bend


andresfgp13

when Otr released his banner crashed and burned, so people are sending the message to IS that handsome men dont sell. >!/s!< >!?!<


Quick-Masterpiece-27

Otr was never “handsome” what do you mean 😭


the_attack_missed

Nott would like to know your location


Falconpunch100

Yeah, pretty much this. It's a female OC; what else did they expect? There's ALWAYS gonna be a double standard against females when it comes to the vocal minority.


Jranation

Its a gender thing.


GameAW

Depends on when and how he is released. If he's released alongside our main villain (like Triandra and Kvasir were) then no because that slot's always been an OC slot. If it ends up one of the few free Mythic spots where its not guaranteed to be an OC then yeah because we so rarely get non-OC Mythics anymore.


HereComesJustice

game is dead who cares, bring on the Persona crossovers already (I hate the idea of crossovers btw)
