It's in Awakening because that's what I'm playing atm and it's way easier with a small cast, but you're more than welcome to expand if you like :3c LMAO YES I did Sully too actually. Gr8 taste my pal. The other one was Libra, who I'm 99% sure is the human embodiment of Depression Comedy. Like seriously someone check on him. Multiquote's choking on mobile, so I'm gonna respond with tags, sorry: @uniqueme too :( thassom relatable content right there. @NinjaMonkey feel free to tag a mod or something to have them move it, then.

Ya gorl got her data back today. Time to waste it on another long, incomprehensible dumpster fire of a thread =) This thread was really fun when we did it for main series games, so let's do it for our fave mens and womens in this particular bad boy. Without using names, tell me about your favourite characters as poorly as you can. (You guys could turn this into a guessing game or s/t, I don't care. I just wanna see what you silly sonofagunz have for me.) And MAKE IT FASHION. I've got two files running right now with two different spouses, and they're both tied for fave at the mo', so here they are. Spoilered for pg-13 language again, sorry mods. :) istillloveyou K go, make me chortle. Bonus points if you use the word "chortle" in your post.

Whaaaaaaaat? I'm gonna hard disagree on that, friend, but you do you and I'll do me.

SPREAD THIS GOSPEL.

Yknow, for a hot second there I was confused at all the people saying Nolan was anywhere close to Boyd, because my last Boyd was an unkillable god who no one except maybe Gatrie (who I baby the hell out of, 'cause he's my bro) and Aran/Nephenee could compare to. Then I remembered that I gave Boyd Vantage, and he barely took a hit for the rest of the game. That was a trip. Anyway, long story short, I don't think any of the DB are explicitly better than the Greil Mercs, though it does depend on how you take care of them. My Laura and Rhys have wound up pretty equal in almost every run, as have my Aran and Nephenee. There's no reason not to use DB over GM, but using all of them is probably gonna put some of your Laguz units at risk, and Janaff is too precious to me for that amount of snackrifice.

This topic could have gone in General or in FFTF I guess (and if it ends up there I won't be surprised ffpgpft) but this is the installment that brings out my Regina George complex for whatever reason, so it's here. Anyone else do that thing where you have a character you don't like, so you just let them suffer in whatever silly, petty ways you can think of? I don't mean killing them off; just reclassing them, benching them, or setting them up kinda goofy because you're Game God and you can do whatever you want? (It'll be really awkward when the responding response is "no" lmao oh well) And as for things that have basically no effect, at least in my files, you can bet my Xander in every run is gonna have the effigy mask on, just so I don't have to look at him and wonder how we got here. That noodle-hair ho looks like he stans the Chainsmokers, the fuck. Get outta here. (...please come be petty with me. I'm very lonely and we're between rpdr seasons.)

Aw yiss, a Fire Emblem x LISA crossover. My loins burn in anticipation.

This is how I write my own stuff c': it's dumb and shallow, absolutely, but I'm glad you find it as funny as I do! Hey, hit my inbox up, we'll make this dream a reality. (I'm absolutely reading your blog right now, lmao.) Also, everyone on this thread is savage AF but also no chill, uh, like that one vine. You people are sadistic and I LOVE it.

True, but I'm pretty sure it is some kind of record among horrible gremlins who look like this Ankles that weak won't win you any ladies IRL.

WHAT!!!!! girl same I beat you to this by like three days Frozen yogurt is going to be your friend for the next little while, for real. Get the yummiest froyo you get find and watch Heathers. Heathers is always good. Try not to play around with your stitches too much. They will come out soon, on their own, but if you rip at them they're gonna sting like hell. Also, if you just wanna chat, hmu!

Even though I just put this in the discord, I wanna make sure everyone involved with this site gets a chance to think about this hayato can potentially have sex with 14 different women. discuss.

Oh my god I LITERALLY just got to post this, and now I get to use it again. Is this Christmas? Homeboy isn't even crackalackin in Heroes yet. i feel like the odds for warriors are W E A K.

Why am I not surprised that this thread is also a salty mess. Jeepers. Y'know, Lyn is a character that's hugely recognizable outside of the Fire Emblem fan base. Do you guys maybe possibly think that featuring her in a trailer reveal like this might be a way to draw attention to the game for fringe fans and people outside the fandom? Remember, it's a crossover title. It's designed to appeal to a general mainstream audience, not just veterans who are going to be picking it apart for every anti-FE sin it commits. On that note, on the Ike discourse: he will almost definitely be a late reveal or available a couple months into the game, to get people talking about it again after hype has started to die down. As of right now, are weapons and game representation unbalanced as hell? Yes. But at this point, marketing is a much heavier force than balance. Shit, a lot of the game's initial audience isn't going to care about balanced weapons or game rep at all. You're all taking this way too seriously. Don't be a clown.

You're the true hero of this forum.

Elaborate? I'm curious.

I was gonna make a personal art thread, but after a conversation that happened in the Unpopular Opinions thread over in General FE, I decided it would be more fun to do things a little bit differently. So, welcome to my "Chill Room" thread! Here's a place where we can just kind of toss around & chat about ideas for fan content (or, hey, if you're feeling it, original content too.) if you want feedback on a smaller idea and don't feel making a whole thread for it, come on in and throw it at me! We can have a cool time together. Something I've been slowly working at is a personal RPGmaker project that involves criminals being pardoned if they participate in a RPDR-style reality competition. I've also been developing this paper doll-esque art style, which I only have one example of but will toss in the box below. Thing is, I'm actually considering revamping them into FE OCs instead? Or at least giving them an AU as such. If I do that, I'll be back with more art to ask you guys what classes they ought to be for sure :) Warning: enormous images in spoilers Anyone got anything in progress they'd like to share ideas for or get feedback on? For sure I would love to see everyone's OCs if they have them. Link me to your personal threads, too, and I'll come drop in for a visit.

Hey man, if they give you a hard time, they'll have to give me a hard time too. Because I really like Iago.

I like Peri too, actually. She's so out of place and strange that I can't take her seriously, so any conversation involving her comes across as incredibly surreal. Also, her support with Odin is one of the few times I like Odin, and it's pretty funny IMO c': (I'm on mobile, so I can't chop this up, sorry!) I might like Mae, actually - she seems alright from what I've heard of her. Azura is the one that annoys me most and she honestly suffers from the writing problems that doomed Fates as a whole, so if Echoes is even moderately better in that regard, there probably won't be a problem with her. The feminism thing is why I expected backlash tbh :/ There are definitely places where it's hard to bring up writing/design issues that involve women and/or minorities and not immediately be dismissed, regardless of the actual points made, which is why I'm glad Serenes Forest is such a chill community. I was looking at this from a "butch girl who really likes other butch girls" and a "longtime fan who wants to see the series improve and expand" perspective tbh, and that second one is probably pretty relatable to most of us on here. Yeah, see, and those points about Camilla are totally fine and fair. No issues there. The issue lies more with the occasional "Camilla and thots like her should die, A cup brigade is pure and wholesome"-type comments. (I know a guy who says that exact kind of thing IRL tbh. He keeps sending me pics of the younger girls in bikinis and yelled at me for marrying a dude he disapproved of in Fates. Ugh.) Sure! The Lords are pretty much just as repetitive in the looks department as their girlfriends tend to be. This comment was more in relation to the concept of other types of characters also suffering from relative sameness, but I'll explain anyway. For male Lords, there are the thinner, younger-looking Lords - Marth and everyone with his body type, basically. Then there's the bigger model, like Ike, who might be a bit "rougher" but still has relatively the same design concepts going on in terms of attractiveness, form, and even colour palette. Then, female Lords all tend to have roughly the same shape, age, and even mindset to a degree. (This could be averted with female Robin, which was a hugely nice change, and then we lost it again with Corrin ;n; ) On the one hand, I get this is partly for marketing purposes; it is, of course, easier to sell a product featuring a main character who looks similar to previous characters who the fanbase liked. On the other hand, the similarity across so many entries at this point is indicative that the creators aren't so willing to break away from the tropes people are starting to notice an overwhelming repetition of. Anyway! I have a cool concept or two for new Lords and other things like that, so I'm gonna go make that thread in Creative once I'm out of the shower.

Yes! You get me. It's not like we're asking for them to take out gentle maidens entirely, either. They dominate main/major character slots, though, and are almost always portrayed as the most beautiful, most kind, most intelligent, most valuable women in their respective stories. Snore. I'm not very familiar with FF, so I had to look up Basch - and dude! Why not?! With zero knowledge of his character, he looks awesome. I especially like the version with the full beard. If the responses in this thread say anything, it's that more of the fanbase is alienated by this than I originally thought, which is both reassuring and depressing. I would chalk it up to just being a JRPG thing in general and leave it at that, except Pokémon - which is aimed at a much younger/more general audience - has no problem with professors, gym leaders, elite four members, and general "good guy" authority figures being old, ugly, or just nonstandard. In some of the newer games, I'm starting to sense something of a rut with these Barbies, too. It feels like they're kind of trying to go self-aware with it, with characters like Charlotte existing and poking fun at the beauty = good ideology. Yet in the same vein, the arguable """""""canon wife""""""" girls in Awakening and Fates are still Sumia and Azura, who have gotten more than enough flack for adding nothing new to the trope from what I've seen. (Again, I wish I could talk about Echoes here too, but oh well. It's not like Awakening and Fates have become obsolete just yet.)

This is really shallow, but the one that had the most dialogue for my single favourite character even though I think there are other obvious glaring issues with it LOL (Fe9.) But hey, there's no wrong reason for liking something, right?

Right!! I specifically only mentioned lady peggos because that's such a common archetype and I was already talking about it, but for sure it covers most of the overall cast. The Lords in particular have it bad, too. They come in three flavors: "Twink", "Hector", and "Girlfriend", and all of them are young, hot, and wholesome. I think a Lord on the older end of things (and I mean actually older, not Sigurd "old" lmao) would be a neat twist, for instance. Sure, they have to be appealing to sell the game, but they can be appealing in lots of different ways. Or, barring that, I would still like for the next avatar, if we get another one, to have a skin tone slider and/or the ability to have a beefier body type than "high school soccer player" (thanks for being a sign of progress once again, Corrin.) Aw, I love Gonzalez! Benny comes to mind too, but then, I never even found him ugly - his design is actually pretty cool imo. The game just tells you he's ugly for some reason. There's also Devdanveddvenavdann but um, I'm not sure if he was intended to be ugly, or if he's just off-model? His spray tan is a little silly but he isn't that bad either. I really enjoy all of the above characters, haha. They're memorable in a different way. I guess that says something, doesn't it?

Right!! Just once I'd like them to shake it up a bit and have the main gal/love interest be bigger, tougher and less designed to appeal to traditional waifu qualities, just to see how it goes. We almost got a secondary one with Scarlet/Ryoma...and then she died. Sigh.

Uhhhhh this one might start fights so I'm gonna put it under a spoiler. If you don't wanna see me getting semi-emotional about the portrayal of women then don't open this lmao Please don't shit down my throat for saying this, loool.

Sometimes I imagine what it would be like to be a straight girl, and then I think about the men of Awakening and I realize that being a straight girl in this fandom is probably horrible. I'm so sorry to anyone going through that, ick. All jokes aside, I love Sully. She's a doll. I, uh, just voted randomly for the dudes, LOL.
