You get no Sympathy in a "Fire Emblem Discussion"

[Mirron]

Hong, Inigo x Gerome is really cute. It was kind of blah up until the A-rank, but I thought it was adorable. Mentioning it since you posted the comic.

On Eliwood-related matters, although Eliwood uses a Rapier, he could still fight entirely different from Marth. The only move that strikes me as Rapier-like is his neutral B, the rest are pretty much broad slashes (I could be forgetting some). If it was Eliwood with Durandal I could see that being a concern (though then I could see it being Ike being the potential clone worry), but if it's an unmounted and Rapier-wielding Eliwood, he could stand out. No chance of him getting into Smash, since I imagine if they were to pick someone from Elibe they'd bring back Roy, but still could be fun if he was in. Mounted just seems odd.

I remember there being a discussion between my and Golden.

He constantly called out on me for apparently saying that I thought Rosalina would of been more original then people gave credit for prior to her reveal, and he countered that argument by saying that I would of thought with the same mentality of her being if she wasn't reveal. This came up because he made a counter comment to people saying that Chrom will be unoriginal are on par with the people saying that Rosalina will be unoriginal. Even though I, again, stated that Rosalina would of been more original then people gave credit, due to her abilities and character being a notable contrast from Peach. This is because Rosalina and Peach don't follow the same archetype, while Chrom does. But he persisted that I wouldn't be saying such things of Rosalina wasn't revealed.

I did drop the topic, but I do think that people thinking that Rosalina would of been unoriginal are on par with the people thinking Chrom would of been unoriginal. The former were just simply blinded by the fact her appearance would of said the entire thing, ignoring the actual abilities she has involving cosmic powers. With Chrom, not only does he look redundant, but his abilities are redundant too. Hence why I don't think the comparison is fair at all.

The comparison isn't necessarily warranted, but at the same time, Chrom is most definitely going to be more unique than most people assume. I didn't even see Rosalina as a Peach clone AT ALL, so I am surprised that was even a common presumption. Chrom on the other hand, I am not going to lie, seems like Marth clone material. Again, I don't envision this to be the case, but I could certainly see why some would be worried while in the Rosalina situation, I do not see the correlation.

OMG Inigo x Gerome is adorable plus you could always throw in Minervykins. One of my fave Awakening pairings. Can't deny the ship tease in their Harvest Scramble convo. Fanservice at its best.

 

[FlareHabanero]

Gerome is totally a member of the Wonderful 100.

WONDER EMBLEM!

UNITE AXE!

 

[Mirron]

Curse you, now I need to go find that. And I thought it was so cute. Gerome is such a softy under it all. And Inigo as the cry baby/shy guy is super endearing. I really do think Inigo may be my favorite guy in it, hard to say for sure though. So many awesome ones.

Edit: Oh god, that's amazing. Gerome x Inigo all the way. Though I may need to see other Harvest Scrambles to decide my pairings. Or the hot springs, that's also children-focused I believe. Inigo is too cute.

 

[FlareHabanero]

Hot-Spring Scramble is also focused on the children, and Inigo is one of the children in particular that gets a scene wearing a yukata.

 

[Mirron]

Oh Inigo, why are you so cute. And I thought so. Harvest Scramble is same-sex, Beach one is first gen, hot spring is second, right?

 

[FlareHabanero]

Summer Scramble is for the first generation, Hot Spring Scramble is second generation, Harvest Scramble is same-sex.

The last one though... I mean, Fire Emblem is one of those series that has a habit of throwing in questionable subtext, but that DLC turns it up to eleven.

The DLC ain't got nothing on Old Hubba.

I love Yukata!Inigo.

[Mirron]

Gah, and there's Gerome again. Forget get it, Gerome x Inigo, those two are great. Don't know how the other males of second gen will pair up (Yarne in particular), but they'll have to find other guys.

 

[Pega-pony Princess]

Ike: Even now that we're dead, people still think there was something between us. What happened to, oh I don't know, just plain friendship?!
Soren: ....*Starts crying*
Ike: Soren, what's wrong?
Soren: *sniff* I thought we had something special! YOU LIED TO ME, IKEY-POO! *slaps him and runs off*
Ike: *holding cheek*...What the hell just happened?

...Yeah, I should really go to bed now.

 

[Mirron]

Lol. I always liked Ike x Ranulf more, but Ike x Soren is more romantic. Though it's hard to think of Soren calling Ike Ikey-poo, as amusing as the image is.

Also Henry + puppies = cute.

 

[andimidna]

I want Marth, Ike, Chrom and Lucina, Robin, and Anna and Tiki.
Notice how I said want.
Want, not expect.
Either way, Lyn and Micaiah used to be my favorites, so I'm pretty much open to any FE newcomer.

 

[FlareHabanero]

All I want are Marth and Ike.

Nothing else, just those two. They have a good amount of contrast by themselves.

 

[Scoliosis Jones]

Ike became my home slice after playing Path of Radiance, hence why most of my Chrom support has been watered down.

Would I like to see Chrom? Yea sure. Do I really care if he doesn't get in at this point? Eh...not really.

 

[FlareHabanero]

The only time I gave Chrom any form of hope was before Fire Emblem: Awakening was released. Because, you know, benefit of doubt and all that.

Not so much anymore.

Why are people starting to doubt Chrom? And how are only 2 FE reps at all likely? FE got that as a Japan only series with 6 games, and is now a worldwide series with 14 games and an upcoming crossover. And was supposed to have 3 in Brawl, I do not see 2 happening. If they don't want to add anybody new, even though I think they would want to, they'd probably just bring back Roy.

EDIT: Plus, the series is all about getting a bunch of characters and fighting, it may even have more fighters to pull from than Pokemon. There are... a lot. That's why I think it makes sense for Pokemon to have the most characters (as in Pokemon playable, not slots- which is what I consider the factor that measures representation): Pikachu, Mewtwo, Lucario, Charizard, Squirtle, Ivysaur, Jigglypuff.

 

[Fatmanonice]

Who do you think the Fire Emblem AT reps are going to be this time around? I personally think Lucina's going to be one of them with either Lyn sticking around or Micaiah outright replacing her.

I think Lyn is important enough to stay an AT as she was the lord of the game that made FE localized, and I think is the 2nd most popular now due to Awakening.
Micaiah I agree with as an AT.
For somebody only in Awakening, Tharja should be an AT. She has a lot of fans because, well, we all know why.
If Roy doesn't return, he should be an AT.
If Chrom, Lucina, Robin, Anna, or Tiki aren't playable, than whoever doesn't make it should be an assist.
Any lord from one game would as an assist, really. Ephraim and Eirika could be a team assist. There are a lot of possibilities.

It's more of that we don't need him, more than it is his likeliness. Sure, he's the most likely FE rep, but he's just bland and boring to us FE veterans. FE definitely deserves more than 2 characters, but finding the best possible 3rd rep is slightly scarce.

 

[FlareHabanero]

I'd even argue that Chrom is bland and boring even for people not familiar to Fire Emblem.

Good luck with that argument.

Could possibly see Tharja work as an Assist Trophy.

 

[Pega-pony Princess]

On another note, has anyone heard anything more about the Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem game? Anything at all? IS has been so hush hush about it. I know that this topic has already been discussed at one point, but I was just curious.

Nope. Some people think it's going to be released next year to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Fire Emblem franchise though. I too would like to hear more news about it despite the fact that I've never played a SMT game before.

 

[Jaedrik]

Good luck with that argument.

From a literary perspective, he is.

 

[FlareHabanero]

Good luck with that argument.

Anyone with eyeballs should be able to see the problems.

 

[Thane of Blue Flames]

I'll be frank, I'm expecting 4 FE reps this time. Fingers crossed, I'll take that bet, you can quote me on this etc.

And Xeno is right, Chrom was not very well written or differentiated from Generic Noble Lord Number 6.

Lord #6, ok so there's Marth, Alm, Sigurd.... Oh, I know who it is

Spoiler

, you must love hating him, huh Lordling, he has feelings, you know.

 

[Thane of Blue Flames]

That of course means I secretly want to have his babies.

Wait, his baby is Roy.

Now I'm searching for a Hubba Tester photo with Eliwood and Lucina, it's impossible to find.

Oh, you mean this?

Spoiler

One of my favorite conversations. XD

On the Eliwood X Lucina thing, anyone with the DLC can make it happen. I'll see what I can do, though.

 

[Mirron]

Oh Inigo, you're adorable. Brady x Owain was pretty cute too. I love how sensitive Brady was, and how much Owain tried to help. And I love Eliwood too, though not sure enough to have Roy. Would be kind of awkward.

Do I look like pega pony princess to you

*Having just woken up* Wait wut? lol

 

[Jaedrik]

Sex.
No, wait, why are we talking about this?
Well, sometimes acquired traits are passed on. . . strange concept.
Whatever! I wish I had Galeforce in real life.

 

[Thane of Blue Flames]

*Having just woken up* Wait wut? lol

Well considering that when it comes to passing on Galeforce, you kind of need to be someone with access to a pegasus. The only thing I can pass on is Aether, WHICH ROY DOES NOT DESERVE
