I suspect that this would be controversial: A custom protagonist that can achieve s-support with multiple characters at once, with all the gameplay benefits, and the protagonist is the only character that can do this.

That's not the only reason Mary Sue/Gary Stu characters are widely disliked; they unnaturally distort the plot around themselves so they are the center of all that's important (just look at Corrin from Fates), worsening the plot, and they are also considered boring because, where other characters would struggle, the story bends over backwards for them so they don't have to struggle to overcome anything.

M!Corrin and Felicia because I prefer Lysithea end up with someone that can save her, like Linhardt. Valter and Erika; I know nothing about them, but Ike and Soren are good friends; a romance would detract from it. I know nothing about the last two, because, while I have played Fates, I didn't recruit most of the 2nd gen characters.

I wasn't expecting an answer. Should I indicate when I'm trying to make a rhetorical question (this question is not rhetorical)? Okay; interesting. I honestly have never played Trails or Persona.

Thanks. Is this an overreaction to how much the Fire Emblem pairings dominated the first set? We already had the second set for that! How are Byleth x Edelgard or Byleth x Marianne losing?!

Just wondering: what will happen in the event of a tie? Anyway, Byleth and Edelgard are fantastic: he helps her learn to trust, and she helps him learn to feel. It was meant to be rhetorical, but thanks for the info.

It's okay. I realized anyway that I wasn't really doing much to rally them aside from reiterating that this is the last chance for voting for Byleth and Edelgard. I changed it now to include some reasons why I liked their dynamic. Byleth and Marianne is another Three Houses pairing that I like; Marianne is the girl I paired Byleth with for my Golden Deer playthrough. What's not to like about Marianne starting off shy and depressed only to be the only girl that takes the initiative and proposes to Byleth (seriously; as far as I know, she's the only girl in Three Houses that proposes to Byleth rather than the other way around)?

I already have, but I'll do so again: This is Byleth and Edelgard's last chance! Vote to keep them in the competition! The love that saves a ruthless empress from her worst instincts; a love that enables an emotionless young man to express himself. What's not to like about the two of them together?

Come on, M!Byleth and Edelgard! You can win this one! This is the last chance for Byleth and Edelgard to continue in the competition! Go, Marianne! Why is it that every time I root for Marianne, I feel like Naruto rooting for Hinata during the Chunin Exams?

Japan was on the verge of surrendering, though, as they were about to face war with the US and Russia; there are even recordings the emperor made that confirm this. There are also recordings suggesting that Truman approved of dropping the bombs not to end the war with Japan, but to scare Russia before going into post-war negotiations. But I'd rather not start a debate about the nuclear bombs. Going back to discussing Sylvain, sorry that I ruined the Sylvain character for you by pointing out that advice box question.

Black and White was actually the first Pokémon game with a region based on somewhere outside of Japan; specifically, New York City.

Zweihander: it's a two-handed sword nearly the length of the wielder, and it was mainly used by bodyguards, but also for breaking pike formations by charging in and using the sword to push away the pikes: …Oh; cool or badass words, not cool or badass swords. Never mind. Though I would say that the term Zweihander still sounds cool.

Good to see some non-Fire Emblem pairings winning. I wonder how long they'll last.

Fire Emblem: the typical story. I saw Marth and Roy in Smash Bros. Melee, looked at their trophies and was like, "Fire Emblem? What's that? Why does it say 'Japan Only' in brackets?" And that eventually led to my family getting Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance.

I think that, by, "getting to be too much", he probably meant in terms of intimacy or feelings. As for him not wanting to be used for making babies, well, just that: he doesn't want to be used for making babies. That's not the same as him sleeping around (though I'm certain the possibility that a girl could be pregnant would terrify him to no end). People can make illogical decisions when it follows their personal logic and they don't think it through, and I suspect that Sylvain doesn't think it through.

One of Sylvain's advice box questions has him mention that he brings girls into his dorm room at night, and one of the possible responses is to have Byleth (who lives in the dorm under Sylvain) complain about the noise he makes whenever he does so. I'm not saying that that's conclusive evidence, but it does make it easy to see why some interpret Sylvain as sleeping around.

1. Cloud and Tifa, easily, and I say this as someone who never played the original FF7 and am only on chapter 9 of the remake. 2. No idea; I just voted for the one that didn't already have a vote. 3. Link and Zelda, easily. Link and Zelda are absolutely adorable in Spirit Tracks.

I agree with you all that this idea would not really work. The reason I brought it up was that I wanted to see ideas for how the story would have to change and stuff like that; that's the reason I titled this thread "What If: The Flame Emperor". Does that make sense?

True; that was even one of my theories as to what it may have been. So, while waiting for the technical difficulties to get sorted out, could someone please tell me enough about Raven, Lucius, Lyn and Mark to have some idea who to vote for? I only played FE7 once for five seconds since it was a visiting distant relative's copy of the game. EDIT: Nevermind; I'll probably just select randomly in that case.

The bow in Skyward Sword didn't actually use the pointer at all; it used the gyroscope somewhat similarly to how it was done for Wii Sports Resort archery. I actually found it very weird that it did that, considering the bow controls in the Wii version of Twilight Princess, which did use the motion controls, were pretty much perfect.

Her only paired ending with another girl that's explicitly romantic is with F!Byleth; she doesn't even have a romantic paired ending with Dorothea (who is all but confirmed to be bi). It is a case of her liking guys with F!Byleth being the exception. I would like to see a playable character in FE that almost-explicitly has high-functioning autism, and it is actually written well. I myself have autism, and I really like when autism is shown accurately in media, especially since it often isn't.

Same. I wonder why it is that F!Byleth and Edelgard is losing this badly.

It probably would be; I was just suggesting an idea.

If that doesn't happen here, perhaps you can make a forum game that has people vote between them.

a custom character that is both fully custom and is purely a supporting character: The character can fully customize them right down to their starting class. They have limited-to-no importance to the plot, and the story is very much the lord character's story. Basically, think along the lines of Rook from Xenoblade Chronicles X.
