I read a topic on GF and I thought it was quite interesting: http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/114533-fire-emblem-fates-conquest/72274623 Maybe some of you think this is irrelevant or pathetic, but it got me thinking as to how more characters can be written "differently" as opposed to the same old tropes. "In FEA most, if not all S-rankable females are virgins, some guys can be argued as virgins as well and most characters who can marry exhibit first love into marriage syndrome. Does this game change this idealistic notion of first love to marriage at all? I can see how Zero is maturely written and this is definitely a step in a different direction. But after reading the supports a bit, I'm still feeling that the first love to becoming the one and only love to marriage is still prevalent. 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."

NoA... is weird. I don't see the problem with ear cleaning and bathing together in onsen.

But swimming would be just... odd. Very odd. Bathing together in an onsen is TOTALLY different from swimming. There is an onsen in my castle... so if characters can go there, why does NoA have to censor bathing in onsen?

Wait, is it the act of ear cleaning that NoA finds offensive? Or is it the bathe together with me lines that NoA finds offensive? Serious question here as to whether NoA will censor Camilla's support convo with Avatar. --- I am 99.99% sure Amie lines will be censored - which is why I am curious about the support lines which are milder.

Will Camilla x Male Avatar's support convo be censored? Ear cleaning will be replaced with sewing or baking for example? Is there anything offensive in those supports? Like the map hidden inside Camilla's bosom.

Oh... my Definitely a trope right?

... a map with all the gorgeous locations she wants to travel with the Avatar? My I was surprised at that haha. This sort of obsession/love or the Avatar is much much deeper than Tharja's for the other Avatar. Its more lovelier too. I mean the map between the chest is hilarious! Camilla can be so cute sometimes. I am now wondering when did she think of such an idea. A map between her bosom.

Sexist-rhetoric? Lol. Camilla sews. And yes she sews for Avatar. It can't be sexist when I'm describing a fact that Camilla herself stated. I don't need to reach a conclusion. All I need to do is to voice my displeasure that the ridiculous outfit for Camilla because it is truly retarded. Belka should teach Camilla how to dress in battle.

This is not the image of a fighter: Camilla should just keep sewing capes for her beloved Avatar back in her Castle and enjoy walking around in her garden instead. The permed long hair, the bare frontal chest, the hidden eye... all these are impractical and potentially can increase her chances of death in battle. This is just ridiculous design IDK why Camilla shouldn't be just confined to her silly lady chambers instead. This is more like it:

She is the wife of the dragon, not wife of Garon. Aqua is not the biological child of garon either.

Can you explain this in more details?

^ Thanks. I got it now ~~

Thank you for the replies. I have one last question: As many characters have multiple S-support options, what is the canon-status of the other S-supports that I do not view? Will I lose out on anything if I choose to only view the S-support pairings I want in a playthrough? Or must I view every single S-support pairing so I can best decide which pairing is most "canon". If someone can show me the light on this last question, I will be forever in your gratitude and will be a happy girl gamer :D

If I srank avatar and joker in my game, is joker canonically married to avatar? If joker says avatar is his first love, is this canon in my playthrough regardless? I just want to know what is the right way to think about headcanon as that thread rattled my thoughts.

How do I make sure I'm thinking the correct way regarding headcanon. Basically my question is how to think about which support pairing is canon and how to think about support pairings that are POSSIBLE but not chosen by me. Any advice welcome!

How do I deal with this ? I want marriage but I dislike speed growth nextgen。 What is a good headcanon way to deal or ignore this?

Why indeed, sounds very random. What is it with mikoto? She married a dragon out of nowhere and proceeds to be queen of hoshido?

OMG hype -9000 now. That explanation. I'm 100% ignoring this mechanic. But I'm scared because the explanation after you srank implies its canon you marry and wed and have children. How can I possibly lying ignore this system message for my head canon?

Yep you can ignore paralogues for nextgen and it will still be canon for you.

Male players just love camilla don't they? I admit she has a very very caring personality. And of course, the player is camilla'a first love. You guys love beautiful ladies with pure love for you and only for you!

Anyone?

Does 3rd path reveal anything regarding whether next-gen characters arrive after timeskip, or actually via alt dimension. I am seeing tons of next-gen prologues similar to Awakening. And it won't make sense to have multiple time skips because some characters may S rank later in the game than others. Timeskip will be illogical and impossible to implement.

Actually, Kanna mentions "another world". This heavily implies there is time travel and alt dimensions. Timeskip isn't actually relevant for nextgen characters. During Camilla and M AVATAR's S rank support, Camilla and Avatar speaks of both happily marrying etc after the war ends. No consummation occurred before war ended.

Kagerou loves Ryoma canonically?

But I don't think even the developer dare to tackle the illogical point that is it is impossible for the Awakening lookalikes to be the next-gen characters belonging to FE IF's exclusive characters. They were BORN by FE IF characters. Try and beat this?
