Damn it Deity

Continuing on topic:





On an unrelated note, how do you do "Toggle Spoiler"? I'm new to these forums ~.~
Toggle? Just click/touch the big yellow button that says "Toggle Spoiler." If you want to 'spoiler' something, then do [collapse ] hi [/collapse ] without the spaces.

I think these are the best looking characters 2 per game counting after Roy's game.

Maybe it's just a thing with female Swordmasters? Lyn's DLC art had tiny feet, too.

Just noticed this, but Say'ri's legs/feet look REALLY small in that artwork. Maybe it's just me....
Maybe she's on her toes? Or maybe her art is just mimicking how she looks in game.

And Hank Hill, I'm just wondering what would Peggy say if she saw you staring at other fictional characters?

@loganhogan: I rather like Ranulf's design, He was the only Laguz I liked. Maybe Senri Kita really is my favorite artist.

I didn't mind their designs (they're great) but he's the only one I actually used as an effective unit.

I recently replayed Chrono Trigger, and for RPG's I use the names from other RPG's to name my characters. I started with Ike for Crono, and then that made Elinca for Marle. Micaia got Lucca because she's the starting protagonist for FE10, Soren for Frog since Crono and Frog are best buds. Zelgus for Magus, and Titana for Ayla (6 character limit). But for Robo, I decided to give him the name Ranulf for no other reason than I like the character, because there aren't many similarities between robots and a race that can transform into animals.

Skrimir, Neasalla, Tibarn and Caineghis where all awesome to. Especially Naesalla, cause he's a greedy ******* with pretty good character development.

Anyway, am hoping they make a game as huge as Radiant Dawn again. With third tier classes and all. As well as adding freedom of exploration as in Sacred Stones and Awakening. And skirmishes of coarse.

Well, since everyone's posting pics...

One of my fave females:

[collapse=Titania]


I really like the colour combination on the overall design, and the long, braided red hair.[/collapse]

Forgot to mention these dudes:

[collapse=Camus]

[/collapse]

[collapse=Lewyn]
[/collapse]

Was going to add Lugh, but I think he falls under the "cute" category more than anything.

Y'know, FE debating is cool and all, but after awhile, sometimes being a part of, or just watching heated debates and ****storms gets tiring. FE is a tricky subject when speculating newcomers. Not everyone will be happy with Sakurai's choice in the end. :laugh: :glare: BUT sometimes it's nice to, you know, take things not seriously and just like chillax with topics like these.

Can't believe I forgot about Titania, my favorite Oifey Archetype. Anyways yeah I do like getting away from the Valflame Wars...

Don't feel like uploading pics, so I'll just say some more like Marcia, Astrid, Severa, and Micaiah since no one mentioned her, yet I think.

Also, here's another question, what was your favorite moment in any FE game? Mine would be those special promotions for Lords like Ike.

I would have to say that my favorite moment of all time was when I finished my first FE. It was one ****ty team, and I was pretty new to games back then, but it was awesome.

Camus has my seal of approval, I forgot about him.

I think it's perfectly fine as long as the conversation remains just about the characters that are "hottest." It's a fundamentally unserious topic.

I really got a kick of how Ike promotes to just Lord. It was really satisfying moment. I hope we get more non royalty lead characters in the future.

My favorite moment is when you recruit Jaffar and Nino in FE7. This was back before spoilers about recruiting characters were so common (at least for me). You could still find it out, but there was less of an impulse. I really liked Jaffar despite the fact he killed Leila, with whom Matthew was in relationship with. Nino was hard enough to recruit with all that darkness, and getting over to Jaffar before he gets killed was hard as well. But it's really satisfying to recruit both of them, especially when Jaffar is talking to Nino. Instead of the usual Together We Ride, the music more subtle, and show's how he actually cares for Nino more than himself. You don't get Jaffar after talking to him of course, but in the next chapter.

:rotfl: ROFL :rotfl: Waifu talk with otakus...

I don't want to be offensive, because it's not my intent at all (I hate fights... :urg: ) but this is why the Fire Emblem fanbase gets no respect from other fanbases (go see the discussion on the roster prediction forums, Fire Emblem is mentioned frequently). When there starts to be serious discussions about characters' chances in the game, it changes conversation into waifus I want to sleep with, waifus I want to marry with, waifus I want to fap to, waifus, waifus, waifus..... And of all things, HANK ****ING HILL IS RESPONSIBLE!!!!! :urg: Get back on topic.
Did any one actually mention wanting to have sex with any of the characters? I'm pretty sure we were just rating them on appearances.
Also have you ever been on the internet? It's like that for literally every fanbase.

The only thing I am disappointed in is the apparent gravitation towards pantsless characters. Have you people no shame!

...

Well if it's Marth I suppose that's okay. ◔ᴗ◔

another sufferer of the broke back pose: http://thebrokebackpose.tumblr.com/
The lack of Olivia in this discussion makes me sick.
I mean look at that magnificently shattered spine!
I. . . don't see how that's a broken back, honestly, in my martial arts class we have specifically practice pivoting quickly, and we stretch our torsos. I see this all the time, and as a strong burly man can do this myself, it is not unbelievable and you don't even need to be that flexible.

the broke back pose is a meme in american comics. it refers to making a character (mostly female) turn their body so that both their breasts (or breasts) and butt are visible. The problem it's not a pose you do when standing for a picture or about to fight your opponents.

As a yogi, i also find it simple enough. More so because she is a dancer and the concept art looks like she is soon going into a step.

here's my ike redesign of Ike's awakening appearance. I didnt understand why Ike had to be in full armor but Roy got a mix. it's based on his original pose. not finished with the shading yet. not sure when I'll get around to it.

http://vc.wiimk2.net/title.php?title=540

http://vc.wiimk2.net/title.php?title=279

http://vc.wiimk2.net/title.php?title=276

http://gcmk2.net/rpg/fireemblemsouen.html

Review of Awakening said:
· Recent epidemic here? Such as adding elements typical Moe do not like, and I feel you do not go in the world of FE has.
What is this?

The Japanese actually didn't like the cliche, animu direction Awakening went with?

i started this thread at serenes forest, so I was thinking maybe I should ask it here:
What's your favorite death/retreat quote in fire emblem? It doesn't have to be from awakening, although here are all the death quotes from awakening: death quotes.

My favorite is Kellam's: "I-I'm done for... I wonder if...anyone will notice...I'm gone..."
With Anna in a close second: "It's true...what they say... In the end, material possessions mean nothing..."

Both are very sad. makes me sad that we don't get death quotes for everyone (we get retreat quotes for possible mothers and important characters).

Tiki's is just sad. :(

Tiki: "I won't have to be alone...anymore..."

When I got the NA FE13 demo, I tried to play the prologue chapter beating it in the most ridiculous fashions possible, with few of these methods involving use of Frederick.. Of course it should be mentioned I only ever play Fire Emblem games on the hardest difficulty available and anything less doesn't feel engaging. As such, Chrom crying out "G-GCK-GODS..." is permanently ingrained in my head. I will have to give it that one. My friends and I still utter it when we play games together over Skype.

From FE7, Canas: Ah, it's such a shame... There was so much more I wanted to know.

Doesn't really sound like he cares about his death.:p

The quote may be distorted a bit, as I wrote it from memory.

Tiki's death quote is sad. Chrom's death quote is what happens more often than anything, I wish I didn't get game overs when Chrom dies. :grrr:

How about Petrine?

"Y-Your... Your Majesty... Forgive me...please... Oh, I don't want to die... So...scared...”

The last bit... really exposes a part of her character you only got a hint of as she spoke with Ashnard. This, combined with the special conversation she has with Soren revealing that she is branded... really shines some light on the fact that Petrine was a very troubled soul. As if she maintains her face and quota to hide her fear and insecurity, a shroud over a painful past of being an outcast to all those around her.

That is the death quote that sat in my head the most. Of course, up until FE12 Lunatic, I could go easily go an entire game without seeing any of my units die, so I wouldn't know what they have to say.

The funniest death quote is Serra's. When I saw it I laughed and then I felt bad and restarted.
