Social "Time to Tip the Scales!" - Robin Social Thread

[Hong]

Honestly I hate Chrobin, just to much fanservice,

Explain to me how this is fanservice.

 

[Stalkos]

I just had 2 playtroughts in the game, so not many chances to make different pairing, but I tend to do the standards.

You know, Frederick x Lissa, Chrom x Sumia, Panne x Gaius, Virion x Olivia, etc...

But yeah I refuse to let Nowi marries Gregor if that is what the game wants me to do. If someone will marry a dragon little girl, let it be Robin(M). Also, manakete Morgan.

I thought it was Lon'quxOlivia.

She's only little by physical standards though.

I shipped Gregor x Nowi in my first playthrough (I happened to ship a lot of the "storied" pairs that the game develops for the player, like Virion x Sully (attempted before Chrom hijacked her from Virion, which blindsided the hell out of me), so then I shipped Virion x Cherche, Lon' Qu x Olivia, etc. I shipped Gregor x Nowi partially because they were the "senior citizens" of the Shepherds, Gregor being somewhere in his 50s or 60s I think and Nowi being over 1000 years old.

It's not like they had shown anything.

There are plenty of romantic, in some cases vaguely sexual interactions in the support. Your idea of fanservice is too broad.

An example of general fanservice is how, of course, Awakening services Fire Emblem fans by including in lots of stuff from previous products.
If you want an example of sexual fan service, Tharja as well as a few female character designs are what you've got.

"Hey you FE fangirl, yes you, ever wanted to have an anime version of yourself marry our biggest Lords, Marth or Ike? Well now you can marry a guy who's basically both! Complete with dorky sexual innuendo! You don't even need to wright a fanfiction!!"

Yeah....I imagine it like this image, but with Robin .

[Glaciacott]

I definitely don't mind them doing that sort of "fan service". I mean, there's waifu games about pigeons, might as well let me marry an awesome dude while giving me awesome strategy gameplay and a story to boot.

They should even remake the previous games in the series with avatar tacticians. I'd definitely love to have the chance to go for the likes of Rath, Raven, Joshua, Tibarn ... Lethe ... you get the point.

If I met my best friend's time travelling future daughter, I would definitely marry her, if only to annoy the hell out of said friend.

It would be totally worth it just to see my friend's reaction.

Ah, yes. Xane and Lucien as well. I wanted to make a "best of both worlds" kind of joke, but that's probably going a bit too far.

Jokes aside, that's actually an awesome idea. Out of the characters they have added to existing remakes, there are two very important ones, that being Kris and Katarina. I would say for all the flack MU used to get, I think Kris was a great improvement on Mystery of the Emblem. She's not really a tactician per se, so much as Marth's guardian, but they could still have customizable units in every game

Now that I think about it, if we do get any more games remade, I guess it's a given at this rate. The My Unit system is a huge success, and like the weapon triangle, better character development and other refinements, it's just the kind of thing people will go on to expect with each instalment.

 

[DarkChaosGames]

How are people not putting Lon'Qu with Cherche? It is just too perfect.
Lon'Qu could also explain Gerome's personality with him as a father to an extent.
(And Gerome looks like batman...)

He is also the best at peeling potatoes.

LOL... potato girl in Potato Land. xD Dreams do come true!

 

[Hong]

I am more surprised to see Gaius associate himself with any food vaguely along the lines of healthy. o.o

Edit - Then again, maybe they have candied chips or something. Mmmm~.

 

[Deathlightning21]

I like Robin! Why would I punish him/her by marring him to Tharja?

I put Tharja with Virion, they make a happy couple if you ask me ^_^

I don't get it either, man. I'm not much of a shipper, but seeing someone with such deep seated psychological issues find someone who not only is okay with it, not only helps him come to terms with it, but also lets the process go as slowly as he's comfortable with...you hardly ever see that in fiction, you know? It gets oversimplified so often, as if emotional damage like Lon'qu's or mental illness can be "fixed" by getting yanked out of their comfort zone and into a whirlwind adventure...or meet the obligatory manic pixie dream girl who "teaches" them to stop being "uptight"...or worst, acting like all they need to do is "get sick of being sick" and will the problem away.

Yes, I have a history with this kind of thing. Long story. This isn't the time or place.

You can't tell a paraplegic to walk, so why would you be able to tell someone with depression to just look on the bright side or forget about their worries?

It bothers me so much that too many people treat mental illness as a non-issue as if it was an easy fix.

Also in my experiences being "yanked" out of your comfort zone halts any progress that is being made and possibly made worse depending on the condition. You don't cure anxiety by making them more anxious and saying "deal with it." (in more polite words).

I know this isn't really about fire emblem and I apologize for going a bit off-topic here but there are just too many things that irk me.

I love this pairing so much. Uuuuugh.

I thought something completely different was going on there at first glace (and Chrom's expression doesn't help).

Almost as bad as no Gaius anna.

If we were to get another FE assist trophy, who would we want?

Chrom.

I would like to see maybe a different lord from Lyn like Ephraim (I just want to see his 3D model in HD at this point, I just want him in the game somehow for some SS representation and because he is my favorite male lord).

But, considering that multiple lord ATs could get stale, I would realistically like to see a Manakete/Laguz assist trophy.

With regards to Laguz I'm leaning more towards one of the kings/queen as opposed to one of the basic units since they are more recognizable in a sense. If not one of the fighting Laguz then maybe one of the Herons, realistically being Reyson since he was playable in both Tellius games and is more prominent than Leanne and Rafael.

I'd prefer a Manakete AT over a Dragon Tribe Laguz, tbh, and feel that something closer to the Awakening Manakete design would work better for the stages (smaller, but flying) since the GBA Manakete design was tbh, HUGE and may look weird on smaller stages because of its size and clipping through platforms, etc.

In terms of Manakete characters that I'd want to see in order of preference (and going off the playable characters that actually fought, so no Nils or Ninian here):

1. Nah
2. Myyrh
3. Tiki
4. Nowi
5. Fae

This list ^ is mostly based on my like of the characters' respective personalities/appearances, I never played Binding Blade, which is why Fae is at the bottom, but I like all of these characters at least a good amount. Nah of course being my favorite character of all time (from any game) and each of the other manaketes being up there in terms of my "favorites" from their games (excluding Fae, because as I said I haven't played Binding Blade, so I can't much such a judgment).

Realistically speaking I hope that Tiki turns out to be an AT since she is in a similar situation to Phosphora, who was revealed as a trophy and then confirmed as an AT as well. I also think Tiki has the best chance out of all the Manaketes (both from a relevancy standpoint (Awakening) and also being one of the FE "veterans" since she was in FE1 with Marth).

 

[Deathlightning21]

If we were to get another FE assist trophy, who would we want?

Walhart, for sure

 

[GuyWithTheFace]

Really though for an AT I'd have to say either Tiki 'cause dragon or Joshua 'cause he's a badass.

 

[Thereallucario]

Idk about AT too much, but Tharja/ Vaike / Sumia sounds good. If robin is a PC I expect chrom as an AT (and vice versa).

Also, I usually pair myself (M) with Cordelia or Olivia. This time around (Fifth play through without victory, its getting ridiculous) I went with Olivia, and unknowingly paired C. with Vaike (namely because they where the last two left unpaired) and it surprisingly revealed a lot that I did not know about the two. Its my fav. pairing for vaike now (that and Severa is BADASS).

Funny enough I was planning on going with Vaike/Cordelia on my next playthrough.

And honestly is there anyway Severa isn't a beast? Her and Inigo are always incredible no matter what I do.

My current playthrough I went VaikexCordelia, and it's definitely my favorite Vaike support as well.

I do GaiusXCordelia because of a headcanon I have where he doesn't mind her "flatness" and he will steal things just to please Servera

I also do Lon'quXOlivia because they help each other get over their fears and stuff. That and Inigo is the complete opposite of his parents.

 

[Oatmeal.]

Ha ha... agreed.

Kellam, to be sure. He could run around, turning invisible and suddenly reappear to stab at someone. When he's done, he'll put down his lance and say "stealthy!".

Now I really want this.

That's one of my least favorite ever. I was majorly disappointed. Lon'qu is better off with Cherche.

Panne and Lon'qu....it's perfect! <3

 

[Kevandre]

Gaius, Ricken or redheaded M Robin are the ones for Cordelia IMO because Severa looks wrong without red hair.

(She's got green in my current game, it's weird)

I rather enjoyed Nowi/Libra, it was cute.

I also like Vaike/Olivia if for no other reason than that Inigo then looks (And already acts) like Fandral from Thor

 

[DustyPumpkin]

I paired myself with Oliva because she's super cute
Love her hair, I got her up to max level very quickly

Swordmaster Olivia is a killing machine (although I changed her back to dancer because giving units the ability to move twice (and galeforce units the ability to attack 3 times) is amazing). I don't remember how, maybe I gave her boots or something but when I had Olivia as a swordmaster she could move 8 spaces on her own for whatever reason (7 as a dancer).

 

[Pazzo.]

A Manakete AT would be really cool. There are lots to choose from, and It wouldn't be a blue haired lord.

I have a semi related question for yall. What's your most farfetched fire emblem head canon?

The most we ever got out of that was in the Summer Scramble DLC. Those two have a conversation in where Lon'qu wants Libra to "drop the act" and fight him or something.
