  1. ^ Oh I know.

    But I think I can confidently say, and others will tend to agree, that there are players who aren't as "acute" or "extreme" in their display of wanting to have a chaste romantic partner, but who do value and can find recriprocation regarding chastity in romance.

    Its just not so good to put labels on some of the players who self-insert, as immediately "wierdos" or "otakus" just because they enjoy the setup of some maiden-like or gentleman-like characters. The whole first love into marriage thing prevalent in FEA and in this game as well.

    There's nothing wrong, I believe, with players enjoying Camilla's and Hinoka's first love -> marriage with the M Avatar, just like there shouldn't be anything "wrong" with some players enjoying how the writers decided to portray Zero. The relationship between Saizou and Kagerou is also different as well - compared to "tropes".

    The next FE may have better balance in terms of romantic relationships and this may welcome more players to the genre.

  2. Stop talking like an open-minded and rational person!

    I'm surprised you aren't familiar with people who MUST have a virgin for their girlfriend or wife. Even when it comes to fictional characters (or certain celebrities like AKB48 members) people will quickly denounce them as sluts for having a past or present love life. 'Purity' is a big deal (to weirdos)!

    I'm going to have to say something here. I think we should not jump to conclusions as to the reasons why a person or a player enjoy or long for someone chaste to be their partner.

    I really don't think we should make fun of them in this way at all. Purity may be valued by some, and reciprocated by some, and that's entirely a-ok. I don't think we should immediately single out such individuals and immediately but a label on them - wierdo; otaku; etc.

    What I do enjoy is the game creators being a tiny, wheeeny bit, more open and inclusive about certain character traits, and hopefully this will bring in more players to the genre.

  3. I doubt IS will include many non-virgins for future titles. "damaged goods" is one of the biggest turn offs for a lot of people who self-insert and obsess over waifus. Even for this game, there are at most implications of past sexual activity and only for a small assortment of characters..

    Indeed, I think there's scope for the game in the future to allow more players to enjoy the game, and especially be more inclusive in terms of what we've just discussed this entire thread.

    Certain characters, like Camilla & Hinoka retain the common JRPG maiden trope to allow certain players to enjoy and self-insert, and characters like Saizou x Kagerou, like Zero for the other players to enjoy and self-insert.

    More variety is a step in a different, maybe even a better direction.

  4. For example Camilla and Hinoka both exhibit this tendency, saying the Avatar (M) is the only one they loved and have loved for a long time etc. But both are the first princesses, so I guess virginity to them is very important, not only that but this is set in medieval times where chastity is quite valuable.

    I think I might be thinking too much but with the inclusion of Zero and Shara, I thought characters will exhibit less virgin tendencies and the writing will not always be first love --> marriage type trope."

    Camilla and Hinoka are virgins and first love -> marriage trope because that is their character, and it is to cater to a players who enjoy such setup.

    Zero is to cater to players who want a different take on a common JRPG trope.

    Saizou and Kagerou's prior relationship, and them either coming back together, or them falling in love with others, is also a welcome addition to the common first love -> marriage setup.

    If this game sells very well, look forward to more inclusive setups in the future. I think this is a welcome addition. Hopefully its made more sense the way I explained it.

  5. Yea that was on GFs. I think someone presented another POV: Promiscuity = "mature" vs. Traditional values = "immaturely written"

    Even if its written idealistically by presenting an overly-romantic view of love, just like in FEA, we see characters like Zero and characters such as Saizo Kagerou having had a relationship before and then coming back. So even if the majority of interactions in this game is first love to marriage, you pointed out Camilla and Hinoka, the writers seem to be experimenting with a tiny few characters to give them that "mature" written POV.

  6. It's false.Her death in Conquest is far less exaggerated compared to Birthright.In Birthright there was this CG cutscene of her disappearing but in Conquest she talks to Kamui a bit and then just vanishes.

    What? So Aqua dies no matter what in Birthright? Why is this the case? I would love to know why. She just disappears? Like gone never returning? Why is this? Is she water or human or what?

    How do I save Marx and Elise from dying? Are there any requirements I have to meet?

  7. Ok so you guys PROMISE that leon and camilla, that ANY blood related sibling in this game, CANNOT ACHIEVE S-rank correct?

    In particular, Leon and Camilla cannot achieve S-rank correct? Max is A rank? Is this confirmed?

    Because in Asia, if we say "I love you" to a person... it means 99% romantic love.

    ----

    Does the Japanese language say "I love you" as well or is it some other form of "I love you" in Japanese but translated as the non-romantic "I love you in English?"

  8. Leon & Camilla http://pastebin.com/tg4jGqzX

    Leon "loves" Camillla and Leon says he will never get the same "love" as Avatar in the support convo. I apologize as English isn't my first language but "love" is very powerful word is it not?

    Leon x Camilla, is Leon truly in romantic love with his OWN blood sister? I really cannot stomach Leon if this is indeed the case. Can someone please give me some honest context as to what is happening during these supports?

    Seems to be Leon keeps begging for Camilla's attention... but Leon isn't a kid anymore - he's like 17-20ish? Camilla is like 22-24ish with Marx being 25+ in age. This is really scaring me.

    I just want honest answers please.
