Kamui-of-Nohr Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 (edited) Okay, I'm not sure if this belongs in kid's topic or not but those topics are overridden with drama and hopes that is not fake. This topic is discussing of how the children mechanic would work with more fathers this time without breaking the game's balance. EDIT: Looks like I'm wrong. Children could still be tied to mothers. But Shara inheriting Orochi's hair color is still odd to me. Edited June 18, 2015 by Kamui-of-Nohr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azz Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 (edited) I am hoping that rather then children being tied to a certain parent, that instead certain characters produce children while others do not regardless of gender. EDIT:Also, maybe certain pairs of characters make certain children like Tsukuyomi and Orochi make Sara? and Kamui and Felicia make Kinna?.

pradian Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I believe it would be based on the mother still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoppy9046 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I was confused about this too, it looks like the children are tied to the father this time, with the mother's hair color?Who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thane Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I am hoping that rather then children being tied to a certain parent, that instead certain characters produce children while others do not regardless of gender. EDIT:Also, maybe certain pairs of characters make certain children like Tsukuyomi and Orochi make Sara? and Kamui and Felicia make Kinna?. Agreed. I'd like it if some pairings simply didn't have children and that the kids had coherent personalities that matched both parents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philranger Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Assuming that children are in and considering how there seems to be more fathers (Not!Ricken's child Shanna for an example) around this time, how would this work mechanically speaking? In Awakening and FE4, children was tied to the mother's so it wouldn't break the mechanics? Male Avatar and Chrom was the exceptions as they are the lords. Not sure where you got that. Currently we have 19 confirmed male characters and 20-21 confirmed female characters (Depending on whether blue haired maid is playable). Not counting Mikoto/Garon but they'd cancel out anyway and not counting the Avatar who can be either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magical Glace Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 However, the limited romance options makes me hope for less generic father supports, possibly a unique child per pairing to make them feel like the product of both parents rather than just the mother. For example, Severa's entire character is built on her relationship with Cordelia. Her relationship with her father, while existant, was generic and none of her personality comes from him. I wouldn't get hopes up for unique child per pairing, though. I posted this in the other thread before seeing this one. So uh yeah. It makes more sense here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not counting Mikoto/Garon but they'd cancel out anyway and not counting the Avatar who can be either. It's been deduced. I think we will be getting more fathers than Awakening. Tell me why would a male side character in Hoshido would have a child? To me, that is pointing towards more fathers than Awakening's 2.

SapphireFalconWing Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 (edited) I think it's still based on mother as well as the male royals. Edited June 18, 2015 by DragonLordKamui Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May_Patra Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Maybe they simply reversed the roles this time? With children being tied to the male characters, while getting their hair colour from their mother. Though I rather like the idea of certain couples having unique children.

capmalachi Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 The way I'd do it would be to simply make certain characters, regardless of gender, have kids. And if you happen to pair two of them up you simply get two kids from that marriage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EJ107 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 The best (if incredibly unrealistic) way to do it would be to make each couple that can have a child have a unique kid. This would mean a lot of possible kids though, unless most couples simply didn't have one, so I'm certain it's not going to be done. It would really make who you paired matter though, and mutually exclusive kids would really increase replayability. They would also actually feel like the offspring of both parents rather than just the one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bovinian Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 By "fathers" OP apparently meant fathers who have set children, unlike in Awakening where only Chrom and male Robin had set children. That should have been clearer in the original post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying there could be more fathers than what Awakening offered. Not more than mothers. There is a difference between the two. Simple as that.

SapphireFalconWing Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I agree since we're probably getting Aqua, the royals, Nishiki and the garou getting unique children. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NB8 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 I'm more interested in what kind of role they play in this story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
