    As Awakening is pure fanservice, even the protagonist's pairings are references to the love interests of the other lords of the franchise:

    • Sumia is obviously a reference to Caeda;
    • Robin is a callback to Deirdre (and possibly Celica too?)
    • Maribelle is maybe an allusion to Nanna (blonde noblewoman who has known the lord since they were children);
    • Olivia represents Ninian (and obviously a bit of Deirdre, they even marry our protagonist after only 2 conversations!)

    Some of these are kinda a stretch from my perspective, but that said this would posit that Inigo is Roy and now I really want Harminozed Roy/Inigo because it would be so funny.

    I said pair up, not necessarily breeding. There's a difference. I think it's a distinguished feature of Fire Emblem games that is an attractive for the franchise: choosing the ending by pairing characters. So trying to control what is canon with questionable points is not nice at all and creates a lot of problem and toxicity with in the fandom imo

    My very first post directly stated that it isn’t canon, and there won’t ever be a canon.

    You still have to wonder though that out of all of Chrom’s potential brides they decided to make a pre-rendered model for Sumia specifically. Don’t under-estimate the work and effort it takes to make one of those. And with the sheer quality of awakening’s cutscenes that’s no joke. They easily could have chosen to make a model for Olivia instead and give her a cutscene as well(Sumia and Chrom’s cutscene in chapter 3 is titled “Lovebirds” as well). Plus they have more canonical interactions within the story to boot. Sumia also kind of parallels Cordelia in that they are both Pegasus knights pining after him. Difference is Cordelia can’t get him while Sumia can. It’s also worth noting that Cordelia at one point in development had blue hair just like Chrom so there’s an argument to be made that she was originally meant to be the canon love interest but the idea was scrapped. Don’t get me wrong I like ChromxOlivia as well but there’s just as much evidence(if not more) to argue Sumia being canon as there is for Olivia being canon.

    She’s marketable.easily marketable which is even better. 
    plus they already had the pre rendered model for a cutscene for her, which had to be her because it’s FE. Pegasus knights have been a staple of the series. It would be silly not to show the main character on a Pegasus; or at least a Pegasus in flight. Fates had a cutscene like that too. Pegasus and FE are hand in hand to some, so yeah it was going to happen. 
     

    Sumia isn’t really pining after Chrom. But Olivia admits to having been in love with him since their first meeting, so if that makes something canon...

    (it doesn’t) 

     

    as for Olivia, youre reallt writing a lot off. 
    they place her in Chrom’s life just before he has to make the choice. Then the narration says “he knew in his heart who it would be”. Olivia and Chrom have a whole conversation about “this is fast but I know in my heart it’s right” the wording of the narration implies it’s a fast romance (not chroms fiance, like the other 4 can be), but more importantly uses similar terminology to his Olivia support 

    but moreso, inigo is and always was the son of Olivia 

     

    Inigo’s concept would have blue and blonde hair, like Chrom and Enmeryn/Lissa. The royal family.  This is true despite Olivia still having had pink hair. 
     

    inigos concept wore shorts and a cape like Marth did. 
     

    inigos birthday is, like Lucina’s, a direct reference to Marth. His birthday is the day the remakes released. 3 children have Marth related birthdays. The third is owain (so chroms family +Inigo?) 

     

    inigo is coded as the third child unit (Lucina, Owain, Inigo) in FEA, and in FEH (Feh doesn’t use the same list order as FEA, so the fact that the three are together both times is a bit strange. More importantly though, it’s only because of connection to Marth/Chrom. 

    Inigo is the only child to have a brand (except Lucina and owain, obviously). And it’s on the same side of his body as chroms at that. 
     

    Inigo’s canonical characteristics are the same as Lucina’s sibling (Fear of bugs, Self doubt, compares themselves to Chrom/Lucina, good with swords)
     

    fates and heroes now both reference Chrom!Inigo 


    inigo, Lucina, and Chrom are unique in sharing a Blue/Silver primary color scheme. Inigo’s shield on his shoulder is even more silver than the rest of his costume, and mirrors chroms silver Pauldron. 
     

    inigo is one of the leaders of chroms new shepherds, in a position where others actually look to him (future past dlc)

     

    Inigo’s father compares him to Lucina in a scene that only really fits Chrom. 
     

    inigo looks like Chrom which may or may not have been intentional. 
     

    inigo is being watched by everyone to act invincible and keep up spirits since his parents + Chrom died. Why him? Makes most sense for the crown prince to bear the burden, but it’s inigo regardless of that. 
     

    it’s a LOT of little things and a lot of big things 

    but at the end of the day, to me, it seems incredibly likely that IS wrote Chrom/Olivia as canon before finalizing marriage candidates. 

  4. Opening is all about marketing and what not, doesn’t mean a thing when the writing direction takes a complete 180. Nobody looks at openings for canon it’s purely artsy and used to sell the game to anyone on the fence. Nothing in the intro actually happens and Sumia is the most marketable bride for Chrom. She’s like a normal girl

     

    heck She looks like me! (She is Cuter not trying to talk myself up, but like me still) 

     

    intro really doesn’t mean anything especially for FE games that have a history of making it intentionally hard to get all the info. Remember RD how you had to do some elaborate things to see all the true cutscenes and reveal stuff. 
    So yeah, I don’t think it’s very noteworthy; especially if you stack it up to all the reasons they imply inigo is the kid of Chrom, even from before the game was finalized, it feels like Inigo was always meant to be Chrom’s kid

    I remember Chrom being oddly protective of Inigo, like asking Noire to watch over him, but that could also have been a sign of seeing him as an incompetent liability.

    Chrom doesn’t see Inigo as incompetent. Only person he ever treats that way is Henry and that’s just because he hates puns.

    These are my thoughts, too. Really, the most obvious Chrom ship is Sumia. Both have a limited ship pool (and are the only ones who don't have every early other unit as a ship option), they have their own cutscene together (where Sumia saves Chrom and takes him on a ride through the sky)... Seems pushed to me. I never understood why people thought Chrom x Olivia was canon. Olivia x Lon'qu seems more obvious to me, since both appear in the story at the same time. (That said, I ship Olivia with Gaius.)

    Lon’qu doesn’t show up at the same time as Olivia at all. 

    that scene is a nod to Marth and Caeda but not indicative of Chrom’s entire fate 

    Olivia has the most ties to Chrom’s personality and story itself, with both of them also being close to Basilio which is a recurring element (Chrom and Basilio’s strange relationship) 

    also, because Inigo is almost undeniably the template for Chrom’s 2nd child.

    Sibling support. This post is about Chrom x Olivia. At 3:50 & 15:23 Chrom reappear again in this video :

     

     

    This happens for anyone; but only inigo is canonically scared of bugs outside of this! 
    (and the self doubt, comparing himself to Chrom and Lucina, that stuff is all inigo)

    This just further confirms multiverse shenanigans -- Chrom marrying Olivia could very well be happening in one world while another world has Chrom and Sumia or Chrom and Robin together. It's a nice Easter egg treat for the ChromxOlivia shippers.

    The multiverse thing was always the answer but if FE ever gave Chrom a real ship it would be Olivia, probably.

    I wouldn't be so sure about that. Now that IS finally acknowledged Severa with something, I have no clear priorities in regards to CYL. I'll do my best to hold myself to this, but I'll spare Chrom some votes (at least three) next time too because Chrom (a guy who has been in contention every year) getting blocked from winning by a damn meme character really did leave a terrible taste in my mouth.

    Hopefully more people are in your camp but I am just in a bad mood. Sorry like I said I was just ranting and whining! 

  8. Wow this is my favorite app but..I’m still recovering. 
     

    isk when I can play this game without feeling a little sad

     

    every year I wait a year thinking Chrom can seriously win...and now I feel empty knowing he probably can’t. 
     

    I mean, now we’re just going to get a remake announced and the remake lords will surpass him. There’s someone on Twitter who is starting anti Chrom rallies that are bigger than any pro Chrom rally I’ve ever done (they’re gonna vote whoever is best at beating Chrom) 

     

     

    and they pointed out...Chrom’s voters came from “let’s beat gatekeeper” meaning now that that failed, he is losing those voters. Meanwhile Marth voters go to older lords than Chrom, and Gatekeeper voters go to newer lords than Chrom. So Chrom is losing, but Byleth is gaining. And of course as always, remake announcement will dethrone Chrom. 
     

    I had so much hope he could finally win but now..it doesn’t seem possible at all. 
     

     

    just a rant on my personal feelings sorry if too annoying but I figured I’d use general thread as not to clutter with a stupid topic most don’t want to see! 

  9. This was pulled from twitter! 
     

    it’s one of the few references including the line “spring has sprung” being used by both Chrom and inigo, and of course inigo returning to Chrom’s color scheme (granted inigo has always used Chrom’s color scheme so this one is actually not new at all) 

     

    this is NOT proof or anything that Chrom and Olivia is or ever will be canon, but at the most avid Chrom and Olivia shipper in the world I was very happy to see this.

    Pretty much that. 

    The Gangrel arc is most definitely Chrom's story. Its the tale involving his family and he's the one that grows during this arc. Robin makes some plans but he's a second fiddle to Chrom.

    In the Valm arc I'd say Chrom is still the main character. There's a contrast painted between him and Walhard, and Robin doesn't really fit into this dynamic. 

    Its only in the Grima arc that Robin becomes the real protagonist. 

    Ooh that’s not true though. Even that arc revolves around Chrom’s choices and reactions and emotions about the reveal; even still when Robin’s identity is discovered the game revolves around what Chrom does with the information 

     

    case and point; the two scenes Robin has of his own. 
    1. he’s got headaches and validar is whispering to him. Chrom says “you are you before you are any man’s son” and it’s a callback to Gangrel taunting Chrom for his own identity crisis in learning who he should be. This shows Chrom’s growth more than it shows robin. 
     

    2. Lucina’s confronting of Robin. The end of this scene is Chrom showing up and saying that it’s his own life, his own fate, and his risk and choice to make. 
    both of Robin’s big scenes revolve around Chrom’s lines, decisions, emotions, and growth. 

  11. Not trying to be mean to those excited. Congratulations for those who are 

     

    but for me I’m really sad and disheartened. I feel like no matter what Chrom just can’t win. 
    This year we most likely get a remake announcement and I’m hype for the remake random characters or lords from that game will beat Chrom. 
    ive already seen gatekeeper fans who are saying they want to switch to abysskeeper...

     

    It’s like no matter what he just can’t make it past the top 

  12. F*** I feel like my heart was torn from its chest. And yeah that’s dramatic but I am really hurt. I gave Chrom every vote I ever had, and now he’s losing to an unnamed NPC. I’m not denying that gatekeeper is cool. He’s great and all but come on...

     

    I don’t know. It’s not even like I’m mad, it is like...it physically hurts in a way. I wish I knew how to distract myself from this game...for a year

    It is just my own prediction. I could be wrong. Sorry if I, like, get your hopes up, or something.

    No! Sorry. I don’t mean to make you feel bad. 
     

    I really really want Chrom to win and I want a space I can vent about how scared I am for it,  so I’m like...I mean this is therapeutic! I don’t mean to seem hostile. 
     

    im way more stressed than I should be over a game but I totally need the space to vent it out, and seeing someone believe is nice I just don’t believe myself
