find myself thinking about the emblem paralogues and like. really cute throwbacks to iconic chapters of FE history and all but when in the narrative are these supposed to happen and also like. man these are meant to be bond deepening faux skirmishes but if you're playing with permadeath on. woof if someone dies. and some of these are a bitch of a fight too I am looking at you Leif.

personally I think post chapter 20 pre chapter 21 is a good spot to like. narratively chunk them all in. something something alear wants to prove themselves something something pilgrimage spent further establishing and deepening divine right or whatever

#katie rambles #like its kinda wild man 'let me put you through one of my grimmest fights of my game to prove we're besties <3'#some of these emblems are unhinged.#like they're not all hard but i'm looking at like. leif and micaiah and ike. at eirika.#who have fights that are in eirika's case the final map iirc??#or the other three who imply it was a really grueling ordeal of a fight #im not too familiar with their games so i cant confirm but like #its kind of. weird to think about #and the kind of tough love imparted in I Won't Hold Back #also post chapter 20 being most of them. save marth. i think is a good choice in terms of narrative plopping #because again it feels like alear. challenging the info they recieved. proving their worth as DD #proving themselves before they face marth again. i let you down but i am ready now. wiser than i was.#like i enjoy the idea of retellings of the story later on in divine canon as a ordeal of tests meant to pick alear up from that low moment #and yet they dont need to prove themselves to marth. who always believed in them.#(they do marth has a paralogue but shhhhhhhh)#ANYWYAS justt. thinking about emblems and trials and really weirdly intense mock battles in narrative context
