  1. Your goal was to make one big, logical, interconnected family tree. My goal was to make a continuous, shitpost family tree. We are not the same. then the reality of everyone being descended from marth grows even likelier >:)
  2. Yes, you read the title correctly. It's possibly the longest possible family tree in the series, and here's how it works. Baldr and the other twelve crusaders receive magical dragon holy blood and holy weapons from their dragon overlords and wipe the continent clean of evil. They all have descendants and pass down their dragon powers. By Genealogy of the Holy War, Sigurd is the latest of these descendants (and his father Byron, as well). Sigurd hooks up with a hot forest lady who also happens to be descended from Heim, the guy that received Naga's blessings and whatever. Sigurd and his hot forest wife Deirdre have a son, Seliph, who goes on to liberate the continent as his ancestors did before him and Jugdral lives in peace forever, happily ever after. Fast forward a couple millennia or so onto an entirely different continent, some evil dragon guy gets evil, and so Naga gifts a seemingly random guy (Anri, who may or may not be related to Seliph) with her tooth that just so happens to look just like the weapon that Seliph used back in the day. I think only people in his family can use it, so they've probably all got Naga blood or something. Anyway, he beats the bad guy and then can't marry his crush, so he becomes king of his own territory. He dies single, so his brother Marcelus succeeds him. Fast-forward like 60 something years, Marth is the latest descendant and fights a very similar war to his great-great-uncle, but does it twice, and unlike his great-great-uncle, actually gets married to his crush, and they live happily ever after. Then like another couple millennia or so later on the same continent, Marth's descendant, the first exalt, fights a test-tube dragon and puts him back in his crib for bedtime. The first exalt has descendants, and then like 1000 years later, Chrom does the same thing (I think I'm noticing a pattern here). Anyway, depending on if you play Awakening the right way, Chrom can marry Olivia, and they have a daughter and son, Lucina and Inigo. Inigo is important for some reason, so he gets transported to another world through multiversal shenanigans and eventually meets a hot dragon princess. Just like his mother, he marries the protagonist and has a daughter and son, Soleil and Kana. Here's a simpler breakdown: Also, here's another slightly unrelated thought: considering that at least 3 of the holy weapons in FE4 are named after their dragon counterparts (Naga, Forseti, and Loptous), wouldn't it be logical to assume that the rest of the unnamed dragons share a name with their respective holy weapons? So the dragon that blessed Baldr would be named Tyrfing, for instance. Anyway, thank you for reading the ramblings of a spaz. Please enjoy the rest of your day.
  3. This is awesome; something more laid back like this is a great idea. I think the lack of a deadline can definitely help give ideas the time they need to grow and flourish, so there's a nice lack of pressure. I'll be looking forward to how this works out.
  4. I'm not sure how much this counts, but Echoes did exactly this, just not to a super great extent. There are the different character endings depending on who's alive or dead, of course, but there are also a couple of scenes that play out differently if someone dies. It doesn't drastically change the plot or anything, but I think it does recontextualize a few things in the story, like Clive and Alm's relationship if Mathilda dies before you recruit her, going from "My friend left the band because I made you the new lead singer" to "My girlfriend is dead because of you." It's really just some alternate dialogue for somehow missing out on the best unit in the game, but it does show the consequences of the player's actions and they make sure that you feel bad about it with Clive's reaction.
  5. While I personally haven't tried it (since I don't have the means to mod my 3DS, nor do I really want to), I could at least suggest Fire Emblem Fates: Upgraded. I don't know if it's quite complete or not, but it might be fun to try out and spice things up.
  6. I'm in the same boat. I just don't have the kind of motivation as I did in the past. it's so over 😔
  7. I've read the first half of Mitsuki Oosawa manga, the one with the sex and this phenomenal panel (minus the caption): and it's pretty good. Granted, I haven't read it in at least a few years, nor have I yet to finish it since then, but I think it generally does a good job of contextualizing the relationships between characters compared to what the game was able to do, and it builds upon that pretty well. A lot of characters also end up far more fleshed out than what they were in FE4, so if you're looking for more out of certain characters than what the original game or any other supplementary material has done, then I'd give it a read. Of course, as far as adapting FE4's pairing system, there were some pairings that were set in stone for the story, and I think the pairings chosen make sense. There were also a couple of characters from the game that were cut from the manga, as well, but it doesn't really detract from anything. Overall, though, I'd say it's a great adaptation and definitely worth checking out.
  8. Definitely Lloyd, then. I think that's something I could get away with wearing in the winter or on a rainy day, maybe.
  9. It's been really disappointing to see such a nosedive in activity recently, and it especially feels like it's happened really fast, too. I enjoy checking in at least once a day to see what's going on, but there hasn't really been a whole lot going on to begin with. The older I get, the more I realize why people miss stuff from back in the day. Yeah, "times change" and all that, but I can never get used to it.
  10. Well dang, good for you, I think! Sorry to see you go, but you'll still be around in some capacity, right?
  11. Byleth solo run on Maddening, if you haven't tried that already. Alternatively, you could do a duo run with Byleth and your house leader of choice.
  12. I'm sorry, but I don't think I'm gonna be able to get anything in for this month. Work's been sucking the life outta me recently.
  13. Yeah, that's true. It's been a while since I last played FE4.
  14. From what I can gather, I think that most, if not all, main characters in the series do have official titles; some are just a bit harder to find from official sources than others, but generally speaking, a character's epitaph in their ending or in Heroes is what their title is, unless shown/stated otherwise. Starting with the most well-known ones: Marth - The Hero-King Roy - The Young Lion Ike - The Radiant Hero Those titles are pretty much synonymous with their associated character at this point, and for good reason (Smash). As for other characters, some of them are a little less obvious, or just given a passing mention: Alm - The Saint-King, which parallel's Marth's title quite nicely if you ask me Celica - The Caring Princess Sigurd - I don't think it's ever mentioned in FE4 outright, but it's most likely the Holy Knight. Not only is this supported by his epitaph(s) in Heroes and the title of his Paralogue in Engage, but the music that plays in the prologue of FE4 is titled "Birth of the Holy Knight" Seliph - The Scion of Light; also referred to as Holy King in Leif's ending in Thracia 776 Leif - The Sage Lord Lyn - Lady of the Plains Eliwood - Knight of Lycia; alternatively, he eventually inherits the title of Marquess Pherae Hector - General of Ostia; alternatively, he eventually inherits the title of Marquess Ostia Eirika/Ephraim - something something Restoration Lady/Lord/Queen/King; I figured I'd lump them together since they basically have the same title, just gendered to fit them respectively Micaiah - Silver-Haired Maiden, Priestess of Dawn, the list goes on Robin - High Deliverer Chrom/Lucina - Are far as titles go, these two would probably be "something Exalt." If it were me to decide on definitive titles, I'd go with Shepherd Exalt for Chrom (like in Engage) and Future Exalt for Lucina I suppose it should be mentioned that Lucina does masquerade as Marth for a time, so I guess she also technically has the title of Hero-King...? Corrin - The Crux of Fate Azura - Lady of the Lake (what lake?) Byleth - The Ashen Demon (from their days as a mercenary); they're also referred to as Professor by most of the characters in the monastery (and Teach by Claude), but that's less of a title and more so how they're addressed Alear - The Divine Dragon There aren't all character titles, but the ones I thought fit the best. I hope that's a decent list to help you out.
  15. Well yeah, I know that. I meant that before they existed in any form, they were never seen in their game of origin. I guess I probably should've worded it a bit better, that's my fault.
  16. It's definitely a relic of an age long past, but Windsweep Ephraim was a total meme. The idea was to stack his speed (with things like Darting Blow and Rouse Spd/Whatever) as much as possible paired with Siegmund's original refine to effectively do what Dancer Ethlyn is built for; negate the follow-up penalty of Windsweep and turn it into a speed check while also still being able to deny the enemy the chance to counterattack. It's far from viable on him anymore, but the fact that it could even be done at one point was hilarious. Edit: oh shoot, I thought this was heroes, lmao
  17. Definitely an interesting idea. I'm not sure how much they would be set apart from their "canon" counterpart besides being the opposite sex, but I'd be down to see it happen. As far as I know, there isn't any precedent for it, but there wasn't any for Fallen Ike or the child banners, so I don't see why it couldn't happen.
  18. And it's by Hidari! I love how the dark energy coming off her isn't the typical purple we get with fallen heroes, but instead a nice minty green.
  19. Sigurd with the horse, but make them detachable because that would be cool.
  20. Assuming this is from the perspective that we're going back to canonize particular pairings, I would be perfectly OK with it as long as it's the ones I want. Jokes aside, I generally prefer the open-ended nature of pairings. It adds a layer of freedom and player customization that I think more or less benefits the games that feature it, especially games like Genealogy and Awakening that use it as a core gameplay mechanic. In my opinion, giving the player as much freedom as possible in (nearly) any video game is important, so letting the player have some input in who's with who is really just a nice bonus, and stuff like paired endings are largely inconsequential anyway. That being said, it's not like it hasn't already been done before. The FE4 Mitsuki Oosawa manga took creative liberties with some of its pairings, but I'd say it's pretty far removed from the game enough that it doesn't really matter.
  21. It's been about 2 and half years since I've last asked this question, and there have been loads of new heroes added to the game since then, as well as plenty of resplendent heroes. Obviously, this is a subjective question, so you can interpret it how you like; "best" and "favorite" are more or less synonymous here. If you're at all interested in what people have said in the past, here are links to Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 respectively. As for my stance on the matter, Resplendent Brave Lucina is honestly the new peak of FEH art, and after that, anything Akira Egawa touches (Legendary Seliph, Resplendent Innes, Male Shez) is at the top of my rankings. To me, these are absolute master crafts of character art, and so beautifully drawn that it's almost set an absurdly high standard. Getting stuff like that for a silly little gacha game is insane. So... who do you think has the "best" art in the game? What's your favorite?
  22. Woah. Now I'm interested in seeing what kinda of warp point it really is... unless it's just some random shrine or tower again, lol.
  23. Huh. Well... everyone will have a different experience with the game, but that's kinda disappointing to hear if that's the case. As far as warping goes, where are the warp points now? Do you still warp to Sheikah Towers, or is there a new type of warp point?
