[Why, hello there]

@foxysauce Well It's nice to meet you too! ^^  And I love your icon!

Yeah I'm not seeing any button either - I went hunting around the forums and found someone going on about this same problem (except they were asking it in a lot of discussion forums, so), and I'm not going to say the name of the user or forum just in case, but a mod responded to them and this is what they had to say:

User: HELP! I can't seem to make posts at all, only reply... If someone could please fix this ty :

Mod: Be more active on the forums.  There's gotta be SOMETHING you'd like to talk about.

So it's probably that you can't start topics until you post a bit?  Bit strange then to have introduction forums, but w/e I guess

[If one of the Nohrian royal siblings was the final boss in Birthright...]

I think it's fanfic territory.  Because one way of doing it would be:

  Reveal hidden contents

"This way!"  Corrin's group followed the girl with the bouncing pigtails.  Thanks to her guidance, they'd avoided the majority of Nohr's superior military might.  The one skirmish they'd had was in a place with narrow corridors, something that the Hoshidans could work around.

The group screeched to a halt as they saw the men in the courtyard, practice weapons at ready.  The blood drained from Elise's face, and she put her hand on her mouth.  "They shouldn't have been training today!" she whispered to Corrin.

"Perhaps it's lucky that we caught them while training," Ryoma mused.  "Their weapons are no match for ours, and they're probably tired out.  This is a prime opportunity for us to act.  Let's go!"

Elise's visage was grim as the victorious Hoshidans picked their way around the Nohrian corpses.  Corrin smiled wickedly before plunging Yato into Hans' chest.  "This. . .is for those Hoshidans who you cut down from behind."  The girl bit her lip.  What had happened to the gentle Corrin she remembered?

The grand hall was full of soldiers, this time with the appropriate weaponry.  Xander and Corrin exchanged words, none of them friendly.  In the end, steel was drawn.  The girl couldn't take it any longer.  She ran between the two, desperately trying to stop the fighting.  Xander's blade came down, and she stared at it, dumbly.  Then, a clash of steel caused her to flinch.  Her father's axe intercepted the blade.  Then, it lashed out, cleaving Xander's chest in two.

"Execution is punishment for he who would turn his blade on his sibling," Garon explained coldly.  "I'm glad that you're safe, my sweet Elise."  Elise nodded numbly, her eyes on the still-twitching corpse of her older brother.  Garon managed a smile, and gently patted her head.  She looked up and managed a faint smile of her own.

"GARON!  This war ends here and now!" Ryoma exclaimed.

"Ah, yes, it's time for negotiations.  Elise, find somewhere safe to hide.  This may become. . .heated."  Her smile became strained, and tears formed in her eyes.  "You're a sweet girl, and know that I love you very much."  He kissed her forehead.  "Now you need to be a big girl, and do what daddy says."  She spared one last look at Corrin, then her father, before running down the hall.  Takumi readied an arrow, only to dodge as a magical bolt flew towards him.

"How utterly despicable.  You'd shoot down a fleeing girl?"  Iago stepped out from the shadows.  "You Hoshidans are worse than scum!"

"This is the last battle.  If we win, the war will be over!" Ryoma roared.  A chorus of Hoshidans yelled their affirmation.

"Over our dead bodies!" Iago shouted.  "For Nohr!"

---

Once silence reigned, Elise stepped out of the closet she'd hid in.  Her father's twisted corpse was splayed on the throne, Iago next to him.  She'd done everything daddy had asked - bring the important Hoshidans into Nohr, and have them execute Hans by proxy.  Yet all of it was in vain.  Her family was dead, and Corrin stood amongst the Hoshidans who were responsible for it.  The archer from earlier met her eyes, and raised his bow.  A whisper, barely at the edge of her consciousness, told her to surrender, to reclaim her birthright.

As the arrow flew towards her, she accepted the proposal.  The bolt that should've taken her life turned towards the one that fired it.  She allowed herself a smile as it pierced his heart, then a chuckle as he screamed the last of his life out.  The others looked towards her, shock and rage in their expressions.

Her vengeance had just begun.

 

Okay this is actually pure gold - I wish that IS had the guts to do something like this

But yeah more on topic, Xander would make the most sense, along with Ryoma for BR for the sake of parallels, and while Xander would be LOADS more interesting to fight than Dragon!Garon, who comes COMPLETELY out of nowhere, Possessed!Takumi was a bit of a surprise in Conquest, so maybe try to reflect that in BR?  I always headcanoned Leo as taking up his father's thinking more devoutly than Xander, so I can see that - as a sort of "last stand" against the sister who betrayed him, when he may have been trying to "help" you before.  I can't see Camilla being a final boss imo since she was basically just shoved in there as walking fanservice, and while Elise would be unlikely, in regards to Eclipse's take on it, I won't lie, I would have LOVED to see something like that. 

Honestly though?  If we aren't needing to parallel anything in BR, I'd want to see Lillith as the final boss.

All she's good for in game is getting sacrificed - that's it.  And it's so frustrating; especially in the case of CQ, in chapter 7 I believe, it LOOKS like she's going to do something, actually appearing in a cutscene and all, and then when things start to get hairy, she bails!  She straight up LEAVES you for dead, while you and Jakob (or Felicia) are forced to clean up the mess by yourselves (for a while until reinforcements, at least).  I honestly wanted her dead when I realized that, and considering the DLC that has her as an antagonist, I wouldn't mind her still wanting to work for Anankos, or trying to get you to stop meddling in his affairs by killing Garon, so she steps in, trying her hardest to detain you, but since she won't let you pass, you're forced to kill her.

Obviously this means she'd have to be more in the story, and not sacrifice herself to Hans, but it would make her WAY more useful to the story as a whole imo instead of her just being...the mascot, of the game

[Why, hello there]

So I'm not the only one having this issue about starting new forums?

But by the by, since I can't seem to figure out how to properly introduce myself, hey!  I'm also new and having many troubles with the new forums thing

Maybe we should start a club or something, the "We have no idea how to start new topics so we just bum out here" club
