Posaydal Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 As the topic suggests, is it a birthday thing or a personality thing? Why are Soren and Micaiah dark affinity and Ike and Nolan Earth affinity? I know there are several quizzes on the 'net but do these draw from any official source or just popular conjecture?

Mekkah Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 They can all be justified by personality somehow for PCs, but your own affinity in FE7 is obviously solely determined by which month you pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 I think in Japan it was based on blood type, since that's common knowledge there unlike elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentASM Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Just to clarify, it was based on both blood type and birth month in Japan. For PCs, there is no official source AFAIK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bros Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 In Radiant Dawn and maybe Path of Radianceenemies had affinity. In Radiant Dawn I thought it was funny how fire spirits had fire affinity, thunder spirits had thunder and, wind spirits had wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icon of Sin Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Aside from tactician, most characters of the same affinity do have certain traits in common. Those quizzes made by a few people aren't totally wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) so what do you believe are the certain traits for each affinity? I think it's like this and i'm using the FE9-10 affinity system, by the way Light: Friendly, open, honest characters. usually highly optimistic and sometimes a bit care-free. Fire: Impulsive and active. take initiative for their actions. highly confident. Water: Sensitive, calm, relaxed people. Usually are highly sensitive to people's feelings. The artsy-fartsy type. Wind: Easily adapt to changing situations. Usually open minded. Highly skilled. Sometimes a bit ditsy. Earth: Down to earth. Cool, calm, and collected. Rarely loose their wits in dangerous situations. Thunder: Unpredictable. Impulsive. Strong-minded and/or stubborn, causing them to sometimes have a hard time changing. Heaven: Closed and reserved. Have a hard time trusting others. Are careful making friendships, but once there, they become friends for life. Dark: Shrewd and calculating. Cunning. Usually highly reserved. what do you think?

You hit it on the nail for pretty much all of them. I'd add: Thunder affinities are proud, sometimes arrogant Dark affinities are mysterious or secretive characters, usually hiding a difficult past Wind affinities tend to fool around alot and seem free spirited As for the GBA ones, Anima is basically Earth in most aspects, while Ice has some elements of Dark and Water. They are usually rather cold, but deep down they're caring individuals. Of course, there's always exceptions. Gatrie is more of a Wind affinity than a Light to me.

Not Changed by VASM :( Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 The Dayen/Yodel Support is relevant atleast for GBA's. A Support Dayan: The seven affinities... Their effects will only appear through bonds with other people. When your heart is linked with someone else's... That is when the elements reveal their true power. Yodel: Yes. Saint Elimine also said to cherish your relationships. Dayan: Hm... I wonder if we have been able to link our hearts with each other. Yodel: I am sure we have. We have yet to find out what effects it has... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentASM Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 So basically affinities are only there for support bonuses? : P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
