DefyingFates Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 (edited) On Eirika's Trivia page on the FE Wiki, it states that Aias uses the feminine form of the word "tactician" when complimenting them at the end of Chapter 13 in the Italian version, which implies it's Eirika. Does anyone know where I can find a screenshot or script to verify this? Searching hasn't yielded any results (yet) and YouTube only has English LPs, so I wanted to ask SF for help since you guys are probably the most hardcore FE fans out there. Thank you in advance! * It's possible that any language version with gendered nouns will do, so if you have any version that isn't Japanese or English I'd be happy to hear from you!

Thank you so much! I only need it by the 21st/ 22nd so no need to rush 🙂 13 minutes ago, Yexin said: why are you looking for this very specific line in italian though? i'm curious I suspect any language with gendered nouns would work, but the wiki specified Italian and I figured I didn't want to rock the boat too much considering non-English/ non-Japanese versions of games are already a hassle to come by. As for why, I'm working on something to do with Eirika and, while it might be obvious that she's the tactician of her army, I wanted to have some solid proof. Thanks again!

Acacia Sgt Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 (edited) Oh, any gendered? I just checked out a Spanish playthrough. Death Quote starting at 34:50. However, this one says "Renais's tacticians" in the plural. Edited January 9, 2020 by Acacia Sgt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acacia Sgt Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 (edited) You know, a while ago I was trying to see if I could look up an Italian playthrough. As it turns out, the only complete playthrough I could find... was of Ephraim's route. I found one other that was covering both routes... but stopped at Ch10. It's certainly a tough find. Makes me wonder why. Edited January 9, 2020 by Acacia Sgt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefyingFates Posted January 9, 2020 Author Share Posted January 9, 2020 (edited) @Acacia Sgt: Hm, that's ominous 😕 Thanks for the warning! Just to check, @Yexin, you're planning on playing Eirika's route, correct? Thanks again in advance! Edit: Also, @Acacia Sgt, can you tell me where you were looking for the Italian run, please? Was it YT too? Edited January 9, 2020 by DefyingFates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were you planning on rushing anyway? I hope so! P.S. I don't want to ask anything else of you, but would it be possible for you to take a photo of the scene in question when it comes up, please? Just so I can have something to include in my write-up? Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icelerate Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 What about asking Kantopia about what the Japanese translation has to say about Renais' tactician? After all, Japanese is the original language, not Italian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefyingFates Posted January 9, 2020 Author Share Posted January 9, 2020 (edited) @Icelerate: Good point. Could you help us out here please, @Coolmanio? Then again, only pronouns are gendered in Japanese IIRC. I could be wrong, but that does complicate matters 😕 Edited January 9, 2020 by DefyingFates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acacia Sgt Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Just now, Icelerate said: That would include Eirika. Would likewise not, though. I think the purpose here is to find something that confirms it beyond a doubt. A plural statement, at least, is not as conclusive as singling out the feminine form of tactician.

How does it mean it both includes and not includes Eirika. That is a contradiction. I agree with the rest though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a contradiction. I agree with the rest though. Because it's not an omniscient statement. It comes from a character that isn't fully prive to the details of Eirika and her army. So one can look at his statement of multiple tacticians to mean it could or not include Eirika. Since, once again, Aias isn't omniscient. Maybe it's just me; but it says a lot that that little tidbit on the Trivia section of a wiki about a specific translation of the game to be the only evidence that points to Eirika being a tactician.

Not really, if I may disagree. It's been taken for granted at this point that the Lord is always the tactician of their army unless stated otherwise, i.e. when there's an Avatar or dedicated tactician involved (e.g. Robin, Soren). In fact I probably didn't even need to make this topic at all; I just hoped to get a screenshot to back the wiki up, just in case I needed to.

Thanks again! well, no, but it's no big deal, really sure, here it comes; i'm sorry if you wanted the whole screen's picture, but i was forced to size it down or i couldn't have been able to upload it anyway, considering the chapter's context, yes, aias is definitely referring to eirika word by word, he says "The strategist (female) of Renais has earned the my respect" generally in italian you must put definite articles before possessive adjectices you're welcome!

However, if I may use my limited understanding of French as well, he doesn't seem to bring up any mentions of tacticians. Could be wrong, of course. 4 hours ago, DefyingFates said: Not really, if I may disagree.

Personally, I think that's not a good assumption to make. Specially since some games do bring up when the Lord really is a strategist. Sacred Stones does it for Ephraim; but not for Eirika.
