Lhyonnaes Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I can't be the only one who is reminded of Rigel and Zofia... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 It's been a while now since I last played Gaiden, but I agree. In any case, hopefully this game will be even half the game Gaiden was and it will be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Book of Ereshkigal Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 ...huh, you're right here. Intersting. I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celice Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I didn't get that feeling at all, considering the premise of choosing what side of join. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Book of Ereshkigal Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Yeah, the theme in Gaiden was finding a balance between the two. By destroying Rigel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lhyonnaes Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 I didn't get that feeling at all, considering the premise of choosing what side of join. But the general setup of the kingdoms still feels quite similar. And I would be very surprised if the paths did not ultimately converge on a shared big bad.

Aethin Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I love how Gaiden set things up to be one way and the truth turns out to be the opposite.Setup: "Zofia is peaceful and good. Rigel is warmongering and evil."- Zofia is embroiled in civil war at the beginning of the story. We also learn in Part 3 that the king of Zofia was an asshole and basically legally raped his wife.- King Rudolf may be an insane chessmaster/well-intentioned extremist, but he genuinely cares about the people of his kingdom. Also, anyone who's not in Judah's posse seems pretty chill.Setup: "Mila is good. Duma is evil."- Mila is, at the very least, irresponsible. It's implied that the Zofians are entirely dependent on Mila for their crops; Mila seems to have spiritually bound the herself to the land, too, so much so that when she is sealed away, the land begins rotting.- Ex-Pontifex Hark is proof that the Church of Duma is not actually evil; it's just Judah and his cronies. Duma himself gracefully accepts his defeat and admits that both he and Mila had been leading mankind astray. I hope that FE14 does the same sort of the same stuff.

Pete-of-the-Forge Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Now I want to pick up Gaiden again (never finished it). Though I'm doubtful that If's story would be as 'edgy' or subversive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderfox Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Hm I had a Crazy thought: What if IntSys considers Awakening a sort of Reboot of the series? So now If/14 corresponds to 2, and then we go back to Ylisse for the next game ala 3 and so one. Honestly I'm doubtful of my own theory, but could be interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Book of Ereshkigal Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 We already went to Valentia in Awakening though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elibean Spaceman Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Eh, I don't really know. Doubly so since I have yet to play Gaiden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Book of Ereshkigal Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I'll say that 'glory loving kingdom' and 'peace loving kingdom' really does describe Rigel and Zofia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lhyonnaes Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share Posted April 2, 2015 Based old king being a good guy saving Kamui from the evils of the Queen by kidnapping them. I dunno, I'm getting far too strong Emperor Gangrel zi Brittania vibes from him to give him that much credit, though it would be nice if everything wasn't all tea and cherry blossoms over in Glorious Nippon.
