Lucina is much like Marth. If you're not picking up Awakening anyway :
Lucina is easily more like Marth, and personally I think Chrom is more like Ike.
From playing Fire Emblem Awakening, I agree Lucina is more like Marth. Chrom isn't at all similar to marth other than their use of swords. Chrom is only similar to Ike as in he uses the same class base archetype. There's no guarantee any character would be a clone or semi-clone. Lucina and Marth actually employ different fighting styles within their respective games, FE 11 and FE 13:
Marth as DLC uses Lucina's model. In fact all DLC characters use the classes and hairstyles within the game rather than their own designs. So it's actually more accurate that as DLC characters in Awakening, Ike and Marth are reskins of other characters (along with other DLC). Even in their design, they are their own fully designed separate characters, rather than what this characterizes them as.

It would be great to have more weapon representation or class representation, but the problem is that the characters that we usually consider (and we assume Sakurai considers) are main characters. Out of the series 16 unique protagonists, 12 of them have used swords as their primary weaponand only four of the have not. Hector, Ephraim, Micaiah, and Celica (Hector and Celica used swords as their second weapon!). If you include the MU from FE 12 and the Tactician from Awakening, that would make 17 sword users, and 5 non (assuming you use the MU as a non sword user). So it's the FE series design.
Erm, I know you probably meant they didn't use them as their primary weapons, but Hector and Celica both actually used swords as a secondary weapon. Just fyi.
actually if you take that into account, Celica only uses a sword technically as her main too then? Hector only uses sword after his promotion.
That's what I said. The use them as secondary weapons.
No i just forgot that she didn't start using swords as a promotion or something. which means she's also technically a primary sword user. I mean, it's in her sprite.That's what I said. The use them as secondary weapons.
Also, just found out that the guy who did Celica's DLC artwork also draws Hentai doujinshi.
Huh.
I hope you enjoy Awakening when you get it I really liked it. If you like overpowered characters you will really like the Avatar in Awakening too.
We shouldn't really put too much weight in the way things showed up in DLC. For example, Elincia doesn't even have the crown blade of her ancestry. They simply appended her to the existing Falcon Knight class because it was the simplest route. The choices they made were entirely related to simply being able to shoehorn an existing character to an existing class, and they probably felt more cozy with Celica as a caster since there aren't many in the overall leading line-up. They don't want to design a class for her, as they did the Dread Fighter for Alm.
I think it was primarily because we got a ton of lords between Melee and Brawl - Eliwood, Lyn, Hector, Eirika, Ephraim, Ike and Micaiah. So he was unsure who to add, and went to IntSys for suggestions.
Or, y'know, it could be represented by things other than characters. It doesn't need to get a playable representative.
I don't think he has any reason not to.
Assuming the game even has an FE main character. And of those three, it would be Marth.
Which turns out to be Naoto.
Which turns out to be Naoto.
FE7 had two other releases after it prior to Brawl's development, and a third release on the way which starred Ike that was released in 2007. Fire Emblem 13 is the best selling game in the series history, most financially successful by far with its DLC, and there are no other major FE releases on the horizon other than a crossover.
I hope you meant "has him in a leading role."
Accidentally posted before I finished.
Sorry. Drew parallels between blue-haired cross-dressers. :b Thought it would be funny if Awakening's "Marth" shows up and turns out to be Naoto, and everyone thinks it is her until Lucina actually shows up.
Thi-this is one of his criteria? I recall making reference to it at some point, but I can't find the source as to why I said it, it was the old critera Sakurai had, right? 'Cause the critera we got later from the Polygon interview had a completely different method by which Sakurai chose characters.
yeah its old criteria technically. but i don't see any contradiction between this criteria and the new one, so I think of them both coexisting together. he never said he dropped this criteria. I think his criteria for this game is just an extension of his criteria 2 he previously used:
Not very?
Eliwood and Hector were lords with real discernible personalities though. You also had Hector and Ephraim be real contrasts in terms of weapon type.
Lucina did it.
