Well I currently have Kellam and Panne as Tricksters, and I must say that all tricksters seem like they'd fit right in at a circus. The wierdest for me was when I promoted Sully to a Great Knight, female GK's look wierd.

I'm pretty sure she says both, the griffon one is just more common - and less awesome.

Sully (Paired Up): "Quick and dirty, I like it." wut. She also brought us "son of a Risen" Panne: "Well, I suppose you tried" Chrom: "ANYTHING can change!"

Its gotta be Cherche & Gregor, cause Gerome deserves an awesome class set inheritance, and boy does Gregor ever come with one. For Olvia, since Chrom isn't an option, I'll have to say Libra.

Lon'qu for Tharja cause he adds a good class mix and their supports give backstory Henry for Nowi cause, Vengeance & Wrath on a Manakete! Too bad him being on Sumia's short list of supports will leave me with a sub-optimal Nah a lot of the time.

Infantile? You sound like you think an interactive anime would be a bad thing. Fire Emblem games feel more like an anime than most games based on animes. It has been said about Awakening that "The character design and portrait art style - the work of Yusuke Kozaki - looks like it belongs in a Seinen anime," and about the compairison of Seinen to the Shonen you're probably more familiar with "Much more attention is paid to the plot and the interaction between characters than to action and fights, which are the main attraction for most viewers, and the characters are well fleshed out. The latter trait often leads to confusion of seinen with Shōjo (Demographic) but the key difference is that seinen does not idealize romance, instead opting for more realistic and pragmatic approach to relationships. Realism is indeed the calling card of seinen shows," now remember that Fire Emblem's most distinctive features are the amount of attention paid to the plot, character interaction, creating fleshed out character, and the realistic gameplay with perma death at its core. It may be open to interpretation how much of a support from one play through is the same as in another, but you must confuse the idealization romance in one possible interpretation of the content with an actual idealization in the game design itself. The series strives to present as thorough and realist, if optimistic, take on romance as culture and customs will allow, which is certainly idealization friendly, but does not constitute an idealization in and of itself.

I'm not talking about what they do in the previous three supports - Maribelle claims the reason she became Lissa's friend was to get closer to Chrom, that's right their friendship started because Maribelle was lovestruck for Lissa's older brother, not that she didn't develope a true friendship with her as a result. As for Ricken, he says that the reason he showed up to risk his life trying to rescue Maribelle when you recruit them in Ch 5 was because he was already in love with her. The events they are refering to occur before the CBA supports, thus they occur no matter who they S support with, its just a matter of whether or not anything ever comes of their feelings, or if they develope feelings for someone else.

Not true, in her support with Chrom she specifically states that she had been in love with him since before the events of the game occured, so anyone else is would not be her first love, furthermore in her supports with Ricken he says pretty much the same thing to her. So only one of them can get their first love, Cordelia never has a chance at her first love, Tharja does have a chance either if Robin is female, and Lon'qu's first love is already dead. Fire Emblem just handles relationships like an interactive anime.

Huh, must I thought figher changed to Troubadour, guess I got mixed from shifting my supports around, still everything else was accurate so that just makes it a closer race between him and Virion (the potential skills to pass on drop to 11, which isn't too much lower than the 14 that Virion offers, and its not like you can utilize the full versatility all the time anyways).

Frederick x Panne makes for one EPIC Yarne Gaius for Cordelia, he not only gets to pass on three class-trees and a male only skill, but the other supports with similar stats remaining are kind of weird support wise (Tharja accidentally enchanting him to love her , and Nowi with the guy who always carries candy )

Ok, so the opening post still needs to be updated to include the following translated supports in the specified folders: MU Paired Rufure[F] x Sol CBA Rufure[F] x Wood CBAS Rufure[F] x Richt CBAS Rufure[F] x Frederick CBAS Robin[F] x Vaike CBAS Rufure[F] x Basilio CBAS MU Non-paired Rufure[F] x Flavia CBA 1st Gen Lover Maribelle x Ricken CBAS Nono x Sol CBAS Sariya x Viole CBAS Tharja x Libera CBAS Tiamo x Callum CBAS Velvet x Libera CBAS Panne x Virion CBAS Panne x Ricken CBAS 1st Gen Nonromantic Gaia x Libera CBA 2nd Gen Lover Mark[F] x Azure CBAS Mark[F] x Wood CBAS Lucina x Azur CBAS Lucina x Chambray CBAS Lucina x Loran CBAS 2nd Gen Nonromantic Cynthia x Selena CBA Lucina x Tiki CBA Parent-Child/Sibling Jerome x Viole CBA Nn x Frederick CBA Also, thank you Enaeius for those Ricken supports. Seems that line about him being the most liked by animals didn't really play out in his support with Panne, except as subtext ("animal magnetism" + "animal instinct" = "****ing like rabbits", the jokes write themselves), though Maribelle support was not just an age appropriate pairing, but actually a pretty sweet one too. Ricken is really shaping up to be quite similar to Mahou Sensei Negima!'s titular character, Negi Springfield. Which just makes me all the more curious about how his supports with Lissa and Tharja play out. As to Ein's comment about not knowing their ages above, think about this for a moment: Awakening gives each character an assigned date of birth that triggers a special event, so if they were to give official ages, those would actually be starting ages, which would require that they add code to track each increase to the character's age instead of just a relatively simple event trigger check. Also, if they actually do then track the ages like this, it becomes harder to believe that the characters don't appear to be getting any older, unless they then coded aging into the character models, which would be an even more arduous task. Considering all they did pack into Awakening, asking for specified ages is just too much.

Well, I do see one pairing I'll be doing for sure on my first play through is still available, so I'll claim Miriel x Stahl

Well as far as how common the name Azur is in other countries and time zones, I'm in the Eastern time zone of Canada and I've never met an Azur either, nor did I pick up on any feminine conotations. Yeah, Warner Bros. aired a cartoon with a character named "Black Velvet" but then, this is a superhero version of the Loony Toons we're talking about, so maybe Nintendo thought they should go in a different direction with her name. I thought Inverse was kind of cool, especially given the meaning of the word, but then I realized that Aversa still conveys a very similar meaning in a subtler way while making for a more feminine sounding name. Really the only thing in Chambray that makes me think of it as being a word is that it contains the word "bray," you know like a donkey, and I don't think Nintendo wants you thinking of a donkey when playing as a character that turns into a giant rabbit. Also Serge was another one of these names, but that one sounds kind of masculine, but then maybe that's because Nintendo already used Lt. Surge for the 3rd Gym Leader in the 1st Gen Pokemon games. Not that the replacement name in her case and others haven't also been weird, but the only one that really bugs me is Walhart, its like Walmart, only the mart is a hart, which is to say a buck or a stag, and there is also chain of department stores called the Hart store, I know because we have Walmart in one mall, and Hart in the other. So now I won't be able to think of Valhart without thinking about department stores, one of which is perplexingly named after a large bull deer.
