I think this game does a great job communicating that the mounts die too. I've just always assumed they've died in other games as well, but it was only properly communicated.
It's part of the war as well. You're not supposed to feel good about killing their riders either, in my humble opinion.
-
I truly can't wait to have a complete army of brides, especially on Streetpass. Dangerous and in a ridiculous dress, it can't get much better than that.
-
Wallyheart is doing quite well all of a sudden. Huzzah! I found him to be quite the inspiring character, and his supports with Female MyUnit are fantastic; not to mention he passes Conquest to Morgan. I do hope he makes it on the cover in the top ten in a shirtless beach scene since he can never be warrior.
-
The ridiculous thing about this -I really like Henry. He's a great unit and I love his personality, and used him on my own will, without knowing he was this popular. But now I feel like I have to be a hipster about it.
I voted for Emmeryn, of course, before I had any idea what the results were looking like. I found most of the characters on the list (no children) to be rather boring and bland, and I'm surprised flat Lon'qu is doing so well. Tharja's popularity doesn't surprise me, but I found her far too evil for me to really take to her. I liked Lucina at first, but I soon discovered she's slightly overrated as a unit and extraordinarily flat as a character - though I do still harbor a liking of her.

They're a similar concept, but at the same time, very different, as the Bonus Units previously have been more akin to the Einherjar/Logbook units of Awakening.
These are more-or-less full fledged characters, and they're definitely canon (unlike the Bonus Units).
Especially as they appear in the Avatar's support options as mysterious questions before they even appear.
Ah, the Exalt is close now...
-
Finally I can buy her DLC it will be my first ^_^. I'm happy Eirika scored higher in that poll than her obnoxious brother.
Yeowch!
You and I won't ever agree on who the best lord is in FE8, it seems.
That's a good way to put it.
I've just got to say that Ephraim is so much better than Eirika. Like a few before me, he's my second favorite Lord from the FE games I've played, right behind Marth, and just before Chrom. He has integrity, heart, and the stats to back him up. I never really took to Eirika, to put it bluntly. I found the conversations that involve her in Awakening to be both hilarious and... rather accurate.
I do like that this game is treating her well with the Bride though, even though that class is grossly inaccurate with the weapon she actually used, even though I think swords would have been better on the Bride's class.
I'd like to think of her as Innes' bride. Even though I find him obnoxious, I like their dynamic.
-
Yeah, I'll swear I've never seen this trigger for a player unit, but all the time for the enemies.
Are your Cherche and Virion paired? Very nice, I did the same. Methinks it... canon. /shot
-
And how children even get married at all is beyond me. But I'm glad there's an equally childish girl available for Ricken named Nowi, whom I'm pairing him with.
Did that exact thing in my last playthrough too. And they way Nah just tears it apart only adds to the ridiculousness/hilarity.
-
I always thought Frederick looked more to be in his mid to late twenties. Definitely not as old as Marcus, but maybe not much younger than Titania, who's in her thirties. Just my two cents on the matter though.
And yes, there are so many weird options. I mean, Ricken with women like Cordelia? Just...wtf, man.
Hmm, now that you mention it, you're probably right about that. Yeah, that age seems about right.
Well, that doesn't make it as awful.
Augh, Ricken is another hard case...
/stops
-
Ew, I hope not. Lissa looks friggin 15 while Fred looks like he could be more than ten years older than that. Just no. >_<
I would hope for Cordelia if not the female Avatar.
Oh , I totally agree. Some of pairing options definitely pose moral dilemmas. I didn't want to marry Lissa at all - and the fact that Frederick's probably old enough to be her dad just makes their supports even worse.
And don't even get me started on the weirdness that's Nowi.
...But then Owain and Nah.
-
I think Lissa might be Frederick's canon wife... Though I think my Owain might have suffered for it, but Luna on him is wonderful. Additionally, their S support just exudes canon-ness. If there even is such a thing in this game, besides Chrom and Sumia, which I'll probably never do again... But Cynthia with Aether is a very strong temptation, since she absolutely rocks with it.
-
So... Exactly what time is the DLC released on these days?
-
Think of them like the bonus map characters from a few of the other games, then, but with the ability to support with one character.
Ah, don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining. And that's pretty much how I saw them too. It's nice that they're playable not just on bonus maps.
-
True, true, but in this case, it was somewhat obvious Emmeryn was serving as the 'father.' After all, the only big sister I've known out of the series--Elice--wasn't actually seen until way later in the game. then again, Eliwood's father shared the same cup. Hm.
But yes, that moment was just heart-wrenching. Not as heart-wrenching as the cutscene after that, though.
Point taken.
And that goes without saying!
-
i want my bride's bouquet right now, so i can shred through the enemy ranks while being completely fabulous
Ain't that the truth. I'm aiming to have a full streetpass team of 'em.
-
Yep, same.
Although not so much for the dress as for the actual unit. The stat caps are solid, Lances and Bows are A-OK in my book (while I dislike having only Bows, I quite like having them in conjunction with another weapon type), and the ability to wield staves is pretty cool in my opinion. Definitely making at least one character a Bride, definitely Noire and maybe one or two 1st gen characters.
That's very true. I would have really wished for them to use Magic along with Staves and any melee weapon, but I'm going to give them a shot. I just think that it's a bit of a waste to give them bows instead of magic, since so many females have great magic growth. Preferably, I would have had them wield Magic, Swords, and Staves, like some of the Princess classes in previous games. I'm rather disappointed that IS didn't think/remember those. There's currently no class that can wield Magic, Staves, and any melee weapon - simply because they'd be too useful. But at least the Brides have some solid caps.
And ditto, I've known for some time that I wanted to make Noire a bride, she's got all the makings.
-
Hooray! An actually good Elincia! Her Spotpass model is just... Pathetic. At least she has matching stats and can be reclassed immediately.
But what I'm really excited about is the Bride, even if it is just for the amazing dress. I've been waiting to start my 'first' playthrough and make My avatar Chrom's... Dat Dress.

0 only means death if you've stopped being important to the plot.
You don't kill the first Reed, and Marcus doesn't die. You don't kill Walmart, and Lissa lives.
While you have a good point, as important characters usually retreat - on the other hand being too important to the plot would mean you should die all the more.
Like the bosses, and Emmeryn. When they don't die, it kinda nullifies the effect of the storyline. It's very odd when a pivotal character whose life is very important... isn't dead.
You have no idea how long I sat there when that prompt came up. Either way had an effect I didn't like. I eventually came to my senses and decided that Emmeryn was the 'father' to Chrom in this game--and the 'father' ALWAYS dies in Fire Emblem.
Yeah, that moment was heart-wrenching. I for one couldn't care less about the Fire Emblem at the moment, for who would choose a hunk of unbreathing metal over the epitome of peace, the wonderful Exalt? (Whoa, that was dangerously fanboyish, but that's not a surprise. But I am really enamored with the writing and character that IS created.)
You're quite right, of course. But the 'Mother' and 'Elder Sister' are always in danger as well. I.E., Elena and Elice - it seems like the only ones that you know you'll get to play with is the 'Little Sister' and only a few of them are actually good.
-
Yeah... I'm pretty sure Walhart didn't die. He's just a fan of morbid metaphors. He can't be dead, simply because he's fertile enough to have a kid with My Avatar. His supports are rather sweet, coming from him - at least with a female Avatar.
Anyway, I've been exploding with delight to get Emmeryn, and am most surprised someone beat me to the thread. Hooray, more Emm fans!
She practically yanked my heart out during the game, and I started a MaleAvatar playthrough simply to marry her. She's just got so much heart, it's amazing - she became my favorite character in about chapter five, was then dangled in front of me for a few more, and then... heart-ripped out.
I kept thinking it maybe the fact that I had to choose 'Sacrifice Emmeryn' to make her live, so I tried again.
I didn't work. :|
So it was wonderful to see that she survived.
On another note, since when did this Fire Emblem game become the most inefficient at killing...anyone? I'm so used to '0' meaning 'dead' and this Fire Emblem game just laughs at it. Basilio, Aversa, Walhart...
We fight Walhart a whole three times. I mean, come on. Die already. (Not that I'm complaining, especially when it comes to Emmeryn - it's just odd.)
-
Frankly I'm really surprised Cynthia hasn't been listed more often. She easily won me over with her too-cute-to-be-allowed attitude and being a downright beastly unit.
Besides her, the favorite character here is definitely Emmeryn. For the elder sister/motherly character, she was so extraordinarily well written that my heart was truly yanked during the storyline.
I can't wait to get her on Spotpass. I've been saving all my avatar's love all of my steroids for her.
-
My favorite line, by far, is
TOO SLOW BRO.

Yeah, I just think it's kinda ridiculous that the female only class doesn't use tomes, as a lot of female units are more magically inclined. Especially when the class is based on being 'blessed'.
-
Aw, that's not nearly as repugnant as it was described. Wasn't every polka dot a picture of her?
It's actually kinda cute. Now I'm wishing there was some sort of fashion-second-seal that allowed someone to wear that.
-
Why, pray tell, does the Bride class use such an odd variety of weapons?
Staves make perfect sense for the blessed, holy woman.
But lances?
...And then bows?
Especially seeing as Eirika is their first example...and she doesn't wield any of those weapons, if I'm not mistaken, even when she promoted. (On another note, this game did give her a raw deal, even if she isn't all that bright.)
It seems to me that the most fitting weapons of that class would have been Tomes and Swords, if it must be three. There is no class in the either game that can use both Tomes, Staves, and any sort of melee weapon - and methinks such a unit would be incredibly useful. And seeing as the Bride is DLC, I'd certainly hope the class would actually be useful.
When I saw their weapons, I honestly became a little dubious.
Beyond that, I'm not quite sure why IS thought a woman in an enormous dress would be using bows and lances; if for nothing but conceptual design and aesthetic reasons, it doesn't seem to make much sense.
All and all, I'm rather disappointed, and I haven't even got the class yet.
And then there's the Dread Fighter. While I frankly think this class is a great (if not OP) class the fact that it's male only is just heartbreaking.

I couldn't agree more.
True to my word I nearly have a team full of brides now, and while it is a cool combination, many of the units don't have that great of a strength stat, even when capped, so it doesn't live up to its potential. And then there's the fact that many of the Brides have a higher magic cap than they have strength, and many of the candidates have much higher magic.
What happened to Celica and units like Raquesis wielding tomes? I'm still trying to wrap my head around the bows. It's all rather unfortunate.
