I'm fine with all of them except Corrin.
I mean, all I can remember that summon in Tales of Symphonia that
died
The Treehouse thing? Yeah, here.
I believe they're demoing the game again on other days, so that may be of interest to keep an eye on.

Marx to Xander? :/

I honestly don't see any thing wrong with it other than the lack of ability of making certain name jokes.
Cordelia is "Tiamo" and Cherche is "Serge"

yeah you lose the communist jokes, but now you can try to pretend you're the announcer for Smash 4 every time you read his lines!

!?
!
So following the pattern we should totally expect a character to be named Willow in the sequel.
Sorry, Harold > all Hoshidans combined.

Each game is 28 chapters.
They are referring to it as two separate games. Confirmed enough for me.
OH MY GOD SHE GOT ELISE KILLED IN THE FIRST CHAPTER

Generally a lot more natural, but Xander was still not the best choice for Marx, it sounds completely off. If only Marcus hadn't already been used...
Also, did they get to Luna? I was interested in what they could choose to keep the connection to Severa in the English version - Angra could work, but it's sort of clunky; even if it would go with the mythic theme of Odin's name.
Nah, just six characters (Corrin, Felicia, Elfie, Silas, Arthur, Elise).

meh Hoshido's got nothing aside from Rinka/Tsubaki/Takumi anyway

wut
Cyrus and Harold did not need name changes, it makes no sense. Also, I still HATE the name Xander for Marx. I can understand if they don't think Marx is appropriate (though that's silly) but to change it to Xander? That dude is not a Xander.

time travelling again? duh D:
This really doesn't bode well for the game's plot - Awakening had to contort itself enough to
fit the gimmick in, and making time travel
I'm glad FE14 is doing such a good job of keeping up the series' traditions.

joy kids again
starting to feel there will be a whole lot of planning to do

I posted the same exact response in the Fates thread in gaming, I'm thinking the story will be weak again.

I really think (FE Fates spoilers)
might not be related to the main plot at all.
the kids here
According to the magazine description, they pop up after S ranking supports, and this includes the main characters' child, Kanna. She also has an odd quote about fighting in the "outer world" with the avatar.
The only blank in the promoted main cast is that blue haired maid, there's no space for a "Marth" is Chrom's daughter from the future! deal.
Considering that quote and the lack of a 2nd gen representation among the main cast, I think it's very likely these kids are complete side content and their existence has no impact in the main plot.

Yeah I agree with Seda, what's with all the spoiler tags 
the banhammer compels you to swing it!

so basically just like Awakening! which is fairly disappointing

In Awakening, due to Lucina being a main character, time travel still was important in the main story, even if the other 2nd generation kids had no screentime in the story scenes.
In IF/Fates,
it's possible that they and the time or dimension travel plot will be entirely limited to the paralogues/gaidens, with no main story presence, considering the lack of any 2nd gen characters in the advertised main cast and the mechanic for getting them.
Not including any of
the kids or explicit time travel
it still limits the characterisation of some of the cast and guarantees cut-and-pasted supports
fuel waifu wars and eugenics arguments, as well as making same-sex couples impossible for the rest of the series
Elise give birth to Priam
I'm spoilering just to be on the safe side.
My issues is having the kids be concurrent with the main cast, the kids worked perfectly in FE4, marriage was their in fe7 (karla/bartre, Eliwood-roys mom, and hell the self insert marriage was there as well with tactician/lyn heavily implied. i'm fine with marriage, I'm fine with kids, I'm not fine with time traveling shenanigans)

Chrom will finally get his time to shine?
This. So much this. At least not again please.
But hey, maybe the third story DLC just takes place 20 years in the future! I would prefer that so much over "alternate reality" and "timetravel".
Please be true. I'll even take Mirage Chrom if I have to.

For something completely unrelated, what is the source of your avatar? It seems so familiar to me but I can't recall what's he from.
Excuse me for my curiosity
On topic I don't know if I'll like
more time travel
Maybe the children appearing won't involve time travel. It's a long stretch, but it could be the case.
it just begs the question, what's the point of these name changes? It's not like they're changing a ridiculous, made up name that doesn't work outside of japanese(reflete). Harold is perfectly normal fitting for the character in that setting. And it's actually quite clever given his gimmick could reference the real life "Harold the unfortunate".
Since I pretty much have given up on truly caring about a FE plot again, I'll speak purely about the mechanical level.
I love the kids. They are a fantastic mechanic that lets me customize my squad in a bunch of ways. I don't care how they get there, as long as they can somehow replicate the flexibility of that mechanic, I'm good.

Oh I was specifically talking about Marx/Xander.
Having Harold changed is just weird. It's a proper English name and there is already an Authur in FE no?

THE iDOLM@STER: SideM
It pretty much just feels like at random.
A lot of the translated names in Awakening for the Streetpass characters just felt like eh, we can change it cause we feel like it.
Yeah, him
Gave the same name in Awakening too.
