Chapter 12 let's go

ooo awesome, this means two things

Once you beat this map you can start getting the child paralogues

and more importantly WOOOOOOO HENRY HERE WE COME BY BELOVED FUCKED UP GUY I LOVE YOU SO MUCH

[crabknight]

Yeah no that's fair, I also don't really care about him, I really like female morgan and her design tho

Also the morgans are just really strong almost always no matter who their other parent is

Have you gotten morgan yet? in awakening I mean

Yeah I got him a while ago. I don't care much about him though

Seeing the reaction Fire emblem fans have with villain makes me ask myself question. Such as... was there ever a good fire emblem villain that's not commically evil ?

lyon and arvis work rather well as tragic villains for different reasons.

for its brevity i'd say ludveck in RD works really well as an antagonist for elincia who well evil isn't comically so, and in fact ludvecks evil works because its an altogether more grounded evil.

lehran and his whole plan to basically end the world because of a disillusionment with life and the nature of people also works well as a sympathetic villain within the confines of RD's themes.

zephiel and hardin, zephiel definitely more so, are fundamentally villains built on the tragedy inherent in their pasts that led to warped perceptions of the world around them.

hell, despite the whole child murder thing going on in fe4 geanology goes out of its way to emphasize how many of the people opposing seliph in gen2 aren't strictly bad people on their own just complacent in a terrible system.

this is all to say, that fire emblem has a lot of good villains built on not being comically evil. in fact especially in the past thats what fe's bread and butter ultimately was for its villainous cast. one of the reason i liked a lot of the c list minor boss villains for instance is that they often had lines reminding you of their own humanity more often then ya'd think. fe9s random comedy pirate boss in ch9 who show up just to pillage some houses at the maps top gets to lament how such a death is hardly unexpected for a sea dog like him.

in that sense i, personally, blame awakening for botching the ball hard in this regard. its cast of minor boss characters are much more universally despicable/comical in nature [which was always present but awakening leans much harder on that] and a lot of its sympathetic villains were underwritten or confusing in nature. not helped by the spotpass gang of 'characters that really should be dead but somehow arent, and now are getting a reprieve that doesn't really gel with previous characterization'.

walhart and especially aversa being the worst for this, because well gangrel being alive is somewhat disbelieving, hes still fundamentally a self serving asshole who's only helping out for his own skin and is only controllable because hes been forced to eat some humble pie. theres a consistent through line there. aversa despite otherwise being a sonia/fe4 hilda type suddenly gets to play the tragic victim of cult magical brainwashing and it is soooo fucking clear that they just wanted an easy out for her own behaviour. say what you will about fe12's eremyia, but fe12 doesn't pretend her actions are suddenly justifiable/forgivable just because gharnef was pulling some strings with magic.

anyways, this is to say that well i've come to terms with fe13 it has undoubtedly influenced modern fe in a number of ways and villain writing is one of the more notable ones in my opinion, often unfortunately to the detriment of the series own writing.

Thoughts on the losers

Chrom: okayish, unfortunately voiced by M*tt

Robin, whom I have named Hildegard: she's silly, I made her very pretty :]

Lissa: benched in favor of Maribelle sorry

Frederick: LOVE HE very serious. Decided on a whim he should be with Maribelle and not Sully cause I like his supports with Mari

Sully: AMAZING LOVELY SO COOL I am normal about her C support with Miriel (gonna write a fic about it later when I get the B and A support)

Virion: FRENCH JUMPSCARE no like I didn't think he'd actually have a French accent in the voice acting. He's so cool I love him

Vaike: WHORE I wanna know why he acts like that, I wanna study him under a microscope

Mirial: MY SPECIAL LADY HOW I LOVE YOU SO she's a mage and also her C support with Sully is very good

Sumia: no strong opinions, ended up benching her in favor of Cordelia. I don't really need her anymore cause she's already served her purpose of being Chrom's wife

Maribelle: THE!!!!! THE HER!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE HER SO VERY MUCH. SHE'S SO PERFECT!!!!!! AND I THOUGHT SHE WAS JUST A LITTLE RUDE AND BOSSY BUT THEN HER C SUPPORT WITH FREDERICK!!! GIRL IS NOT LAZY, SHE'S WILLING TO PUT IN THE WORK!!!!!!

Panne: lovely lady, adore her. I like her introduction with Emmeryn :]

Gaius: I don't use him a lot but he's poggers. I like his intro with him just wanting candy, what a mood

Cordelia: neat :] I love her intro with Phila and how horrible she feels about the other ladies dying. Just. Ough. I hope she gets a big hug or smth

Gregor: the ideal man honestly, 10/10

Nowi: I don't hate her as much as I thought I would. Aside from her design, she's great

Libra: boy man totally. Lovely design, lovely intro, very excited about his VA because I really love her as H'aanit

Tharja: did not expect to like her at all but she's good. I like her intro

Flavia: SO AWESOME I LOVE HER

Basilio: Patrick Seitz moment fr!!!

Emmeryn: blood guts horror forever. Crying 1 billion tears. Don't speak her name! amirite

Chrom: Yeah I've never been a big fan of him tbh

Hildegard: OMGGG VERY PRETTY INAUSGFIUANSDGF great design for your robin

Lissa: Yeah I mean that's fair, I have a habit it using the first healer I get as the healer for the rest of the game so I use Lissa a lot, also because I love Owain too much to not use. Don't really have anything to say about her personality

Frederik: I mean, how can you not love him, he is great, you should see his supports with chrom, I find them funny

Sully: Yeah she slaps, definitly my favorite of the two cavs

Virion: Virion is pretty fun I cannot lie, and I will say, I was fully expecting him to be french

Vaike: YESSS YOU UNDERSTAND HE'S JUST MY DUMB FUCKING LOSER JOCK

Miriel: me when big words, she is very cool I also like her, important question here, who will marry her?

Sumia: Yeah I have no strong opinion either

Maribelle: I'm very happy for you that you love maribelle this much, it's great to see

Panne: Yeah she's pretty cool, I like her supports with Virion and her kid can become pretty strong

Gaius: There really isn't that much more to him than candy puns in my experience, but he can become pretty good

Cordelia: Yes very true, her intro is definitly one of the best

Gregor: MY MAN GREGOR HOW I LOVE YOU SO YOU ARE MY HUSBAND AND I LOVE YOU FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER fun fact I married him in my most recent playthrough

Nowi: yeah that's fair, I still hate her tho I am not a fan of her personality and everything, shame that her kid is so cool tho

Libra: the man ever what can i say

Tharja: yeah honestly, behind the sexualisation of her outfit and in everything happening outside of the game, I honestly quite like her, her personality is actually pretty fun and I like her supports

Flavia: YESSSS VERY AWESOME HELLO FLAVIA

Basilio: me when seitz

Emmeryn: sorry I suppose I just spoke her name
