You get no Sympathy in a "Fire Emblem Discussion"

[Swamp Sensei]

I don't know about you all, but I like seeing woman in games with skimpy clothing in war.

It's a game, I play it for entertainment. I'd rather look at an interesting design than a realistic design.

Reality sucks. That's why I'm playing a game instead

Not sure how to respond to that...

 

[Diddy Kong]

What's cooler than having weapons bounce of your character's *******, saying '*BLINK* No Damage!' huh?

 

[Gingerbread Man]

I just want to add that Brawls music selection from FE could have been sooo much better. Fire emblem has a lot of great music.

If they don't have this song for SSB4 I'll cry.

Gross.

Ten.

Except Leaf was actually important to the story in the second generation of FE4, whereas Priam/Paris only has storyline relevance in a spotpass chapter.

Makes it all the easier to make a sequel/spin off if you ask me.

 

[Diddy Kong]

Yeah well, they already did their best creating the character anyway. He might as well get a game dedicated to him. And he'd be unique from Ike if only for the fact he throws the damn Ragnell.

 

[goldglover5]

Maybe they could add Lucina from Fire Emblem Awakening for a girl character...

 

[FalKoopa]

Ah least they can keep the realism and imangination balanced like the GBA games.

 

[Croph]

I want dis...so badly

Also, why couldn't Roy get a descendant?? I wanna see that overpowered sword again.

 

[DragonSniperNintendo]

Only three potential female characters I can see: Micaiah, Lyn, or Lucina.

And Micaiah still is the one that stands out to me, why?

It is not only that I really like the character and that she is still relevant/recent for it but something else. Something that would relate to the other two.

Lyn's double sword fighting style would be better off used for someone like Lloyd Irving, and Lucina is practically a clone of Marth.

Any of the three could work, but double style movesets (almost clones or Luigified possibly for Lucina) seem redundant.

Sequel bait?

Does Lyn use double swords in Awakening? She doesn't use double swords in Blazing Sword iirc. Ah, she also uses a bow. (Link clone )

 

[Frostwraith]

Does Lyn use double swords in Awakening? She doesn't use double swords in Blazing Sword iirc. Ah, she also uses a bow. (Link clone )

No. Only her Awakening art portrays her with dual swords.

In fact, dual wielding is impossible in the Fire Emblem games, since, obviously enough, you can only equip one weapon at a time.

But, yeah, one of Lyn's special moves could have her using a bow.

Another FE game set in Elibe is something I'd really like to see.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

The on map sprite of the swordmaster class has two swords, but when your in combat, your character isn't holding either of those swords. Both are sheathed. Only the equipped sword is used.

They should have just made it so the character was wielding two of whatever sword is equipped, even if it's aesthetic only

 

[Croph]

Sequel bait?

Yeah, maybe. That or an FE6 remake. Like, if you're going to make an FE6 remake or whatever, give us some hints along the way. Tease us. I like it when they do that.

And I bet Roy's descendant would look more cooler and handsome/pretty than that Priam/Paris/La capitale de la France/Paras guy...

I'm just joking...no hard feelings. It's not that I don't like the guy, it's just that I'm not a big fan of his overall design.

 

[Oasis_S]

I know right? His design is super ugly. Who effing did his hair.

 

[Robert of Normandy]

Yeah, maybe. That or an FE6 remake. Like, if you're going to make an FE6 remake or whatever, give us some hints along the way.

As I've said before, IMO the best option for an FE6 remake is to bundle it with an FE7 remake.

Tease us. I like it when they do that.

As an Ike fan, do I detect jealousy?

But anyway I find it rather disappointing that Marth/Ike (and Alm if we want to count Walhart) were the only ones with descendants. Honestly it probably would have made for a more interesting, and understandable plot than FE13, would have also made sense given FE13 was more or less the FE All Stars game IS pitched a while back.

 

[ChronoBound]

Wait, Walhart is descended from Alm? Where did you hear this?

 

[Robert of Normandy]

Wait, Walhart is descended from Alm? Where did you hear this?

He's apparently considered Alm's "second coming." Of course, I got this off the FE Wiki, so it might be wrong.

 

[---]

In game he's said to be the second coming of Alm, which is why I said "if we want to count Walhart." As further reference, he was said to act the way he does because he doesn't have a "Celica" to make him more gentle.

Funny thing is, Walhart is very similar to Alm in terms of personality and hating gods (lots of Gaiden references).

EDIT: shinpichu ninja'd me.

Okay, I forgot. However, I am not sure if that means he is really a blood descendant of Alm, or if its more "in spirit". He definitely looks nothing like Alm.

As for the earlier question of the descendants of other lords, they are probably living on the same continents as their ancestors, so that is probably why they didn't show up. At least for Priam, there is a plausible reason why he showed up in Akaneia because Ike left Tellius and sailed for lands unknown at the end of FE10.

 

[~ Valkyrie ~]

So wait, couldn't there have been a possibility of Ike meeting Marth canonically by this logic?

 

[•Col•]

Assuming they lived in the same time, yes.

 

[Gingerbread Man]

Doubtful. Thousands of years lie between Marth and Chrom. Ike likely falls somewhere between the two.

 

[Croph]

As an Ike fan, do I detect jealousy?

Yes, unfortunately. Don't get me wrong, I am fan of Ike and all, but I agree that it would have been more interesting if a lot more lords got descendants...and it would be really cool, to tell you the truth.

Like all the descendants from the various heroes and continents come together, and despite their differences, they work together to stop the forces of evil. Whoa, off to write another fanfic!~

 

[Diddy Kong]

I want dis...so badly

Cause throwing the Sword of Seals would be even weirder than Ike and Priam throwing the Ragnell.

Also, Ike is generally much more popular and awesome than Roy. Even though Roy is still awesome in his own rights.

 

[xXIke-SamaXx]

Well, that's true, but still. Wouldn't mind seeing him again so to say. And I bet he made up having to throw Ragnell as a ranged weapon as well. Jus look at that smirk, you KNOW he did it.

They used the throwing animation because they were too lazy to make a new animation for Ragnell...it's not intended and that's for sure because it's just their for the fan-service. Paris is there for is there for no apparent reason, I don't think an Easter egg will get that much work on it...

Such a compelling argument.

Levin Swords say hi. And who's to say Priam isn't a sort of teaser for a Fire Emblem game that is to the Tellius saga like what Awakening was for the Akaneia saga? Not taking it as granted, but considering the possibility.

Do you have proof for this statement?

 

[Diddy Kong]

Probably cause the only two ranged swords in this game are apperantly a throwing sword, and the Levin Sword, which shoots lightning. Almost would prefer Ragnell shooting lightning now actually. :/ The developers where just lazy yeah. Wish they had Wind Edges and Tempest Blades, those would work easy for Ragnell's ranged attack

Levin Sword doesnt have a slashing animation...it's just plain laziness, they used the Amatsu animation for Ragnell...I don't think they paid much thought on the animation...after all it's not the only mistake done by the animation team... Tbh even though I love that game, but I think they had to loose alot of Fire Emblem spirit to make it.

Edit: I think it's something that has to do with stats, if the weapon damage is supplied by the magic stat it strikes lightning, in the other hand if the weapon damage supplied by the strength stat than it get thrown.

 

[Diddy Kong]

The DLC seems like a rushed idea. They could've make it 1000 x as awesome as it is, and it's kind of a shame they didn't do what we all expected them to do... Yet, considering this is their first effort, it's done quite well. Hopefully this won't discourage them from fleshing it out much more.

 

[FalKoopa]

I had posted this before:
The mercenary's critical hit animation (in the GBA games) is a lot similar to Aether

 

[Diddy Kong]

Yes, I noticed that to. And in Shadow Dragon and New Mystery, the Hero's critical also looks earily similar to Aether.

 

[Gingerbread Man]

That's because Ike took the place of the mercenary class in the tellius series. Thats why there are no mercenaries in those game and why Ike's father is the only hero class in the game. Aether was 100% based on the mercenary crit.

 

[Deleted member]

No. Only her Awakening art portrays her with dual swords.

In fact, dual wielding is impossible in the Fire Emblem games, since, obviously enough, you can only equip one weapon at a time.

But, yeah, one of Lyn's special moves could have her using a bow.

To be fair, artwork works just as well when it comes to possible fighting styles.
Take Fox's Blaster for example. He never held one out in Star Fox 64, yet his artwork had him holding it. And it was then used in Smash.
So while dual wielding is impossible, the fact Lyn's artwork HAS her dual wielding is enough for it to be a possibility.
