Azura/Ophelia was so cute! It's nothing special, but it's still really sweet imagining Ophelia singing a song with her various vocabulary

I didn't consider squires or apprentices. Those are great options! Just curious though, how would the inheritance work? Like if A marries/A ranks/friendships/whatever in the next game to B, then does the apprentice inherit from that? Children worked because it was a parent, but would the squire just look up to the variable parent and inherit stats from them? I'm looking at this from a mechanic standpoint so that's why I ask

Yeah. Story wise they're not that great, although I can't say I dislike more units, even if it is poorly written. Doing a future mechanic like Genalogy of the Holy War could work, but I'd also miss the old units, which I know is a small nitpick but whatever The deep realms honestly weren't TOO BAD. I mean it's bad, but I always felt people freaked a bit much in them. Yes it was forced, but still... I'm not sure of another way to make it work besides time skip

The reason I like children is more so as a mechanic. Having a customizable unit that you can build to be whatever you want, and also having lots of them, makes the game have more replay ability and options. Even if it's poorly incorporated story wise, the children mechanic adds a lot to the game's replay ability, whether it be building your own units, filling out the support log, etc. I know a lot of people will say they won't want kids, but in my opinion they're really fun as a mechanic

You smell like a goat!! But reap what you sow is a close second

This theory is very interesting and cool! Question though, just like how Kamui/Corrin was conditioned to forget Silas, could Felicia have been conditioned to forget she was a hostage? No offense to Felicia, but Flora seems like the more competent twin of the two so it'd make sense in a way for her to either remember or have her be the one trusted with the information by her father. Also, where did it say that fake Garon, Iago, etc didn't know they were Kilma's daughters? Edit: Nevermind. I reread your post and see what you're saying now. It's a very good point and the only reason I can think of is that Kilma just finally got fed up with Garon's rule that he now decides to rebel for the good of his tribe

I have an appreciation for Nina/Caeldori because it's a Nina support with no gimmicks and it's just these two girls bonding over strategy and admirin each other's qualities

This. I wish Fates had much more world building. Certain aspects of Fates have me invested to the point that I've started world building myself and wanting to make a separate topic just for it XD

"Fall so that others may live" is one of my favorite quotes in the game honestly so... It's just so cool and he delivers it so well

Awww! That was so cute and thank you so much for translating that!! Shigure acting like his dad is just amazing XD

I'm so sorry eclipse. I'll try to avoid making those mistakes again

I wish Odin wasn't so hard to translate because now I'm really interested in his conversation with Shigure and him mentioning the brand

I think I can settle on Female Corrin being right handed since she holds her sword in her right hand in every piece of official art she's in

It seems they're married, but just didn't get to have a big celebration with a wedding.

That makes sense and I really like that idea

So reading this correctly, Azura could be dominant with her right hand in fighting, but dominant in her left hand for per things such as just holding her weapon or writing?

A person could pick it up either way if you think about it. She could just reach down right there and pick it up, but otherwise a lot of the smaller parts about Camilla's art and cutscenes point more to left handed Should we settle on ambidextrous or left for Azura? I'm leaning more towards ambidextrous

(I laughed a bit because your profile pic went really well with your first few sentences XD)I understand what you're saying now. Again I'll have to look more into basic Lance wielding to see what is really meant to be dominant. We can use Azura's songstress model as evidence since she's the only possible one in that class. Other class models are a bit harder because EVERYONE can be any class, and every model is right handed so there's no individuality...

When you say Hinoka is left handed, what about when she's just holding her Lance when not fighting like Azura. I believe it was still in her right hand

The thing about the cane is that why would Azura use her lance as a cane? I guess her pendant could be having a strain on her, but she seems to fight with it just fine and can move around pretty great on the battlefield. There's also the dance cutscene where we can see her moving around without a problem. Her being ambidextrous could be possible, but I feel like we can at least assume she's good with her left. I want to know more about general lance wielding to see if she could be right in a way

Sorry I did not expect that picture to be so big O.O;

(ignore this message)

In the art book that came with my special edition, there's a drawing of Azura that has her hold the lance in her left hand. It's the full body art sketch that would later become her portrait. Granted you could say the portraits flip, but Kozaki did not have to draw her with it in her left hand there if he clearly originally drew it with her facing left and with it in her right hand Take Shifure for example. Facing the same direction as Azura, he holds the lance in the opposite hand, his right. Look g at their portraits, no matter what, Shigure and Azura have opposite handedness

^I completely forgot about that cutscene so thank you for that XD

Hinoka is also welding her lance in her right hand in the Birthright Opening Animation
