It's more about the build up, honestly. Some of the conversations when it happens are heart wrenching

Hoooooooooolyyyyyyyyyyy shiiiiiiiit. This game turned out way better than I ever expected it to. The characters were all great, the in-story supports were awesome, and the two lords were great. That goes double for Holmes, who actually managed to turn out amazing despite his low growths. My man had 21 strength at level 22, which baffles me. He, Narron, and San were the real MVPs of my playthrough, tbh. He really helped with trivializing a lot of the later game maps because Kaga doesn't seem to understand the concept of making warp skip proof maps. Plus, he managed to oneshot the traitor (don't want any spoilers) when I thought I would be going through hell trying to kill him. If we're considering this an entry in the Fire Emblem series (which we really should, let's be real) Holmes is easily my favorite character in the series. Runan was cool too, but I wasn't as blessed with him. I don't usually like the stern lords, but Runan manages to have a lot more personality beyond that. Even though he's a leader and honorable and all that stuff, I never felt like that completely dominated him as a character. He shines most whenever he meets up with Holmes, in my opinion. Even when Runan has to be serious, Eugen is always there to be the more hotblooded or scheming one of the two of them, which only served to draw Runan away from being just another generic lord. I'm on map 35 right now and I already feel like it's going to be a shitshow, but I'll definitely play through it all no matter what. This is the only game in a long time that's had me hooked from morning to night. I'll probably be finishing it tomorrow, at this rate. Wish me luck!

Technically, after a certain point, Genealogy and Thracia do a timeline split so it doesn't really matter

I've actually seen lord brother thrown around in the Oosawa manga adaptation for Genealogy, so I assume that's correct.

Geez, turns out that really was the case. Thank you all!

Ppf o matic. I'm pretty sure the file was japanese; I looked specifically for it. The menu screen works just fine, but after I press new game and read the narration, everything goes black and just stays that way. I guess so. I just really want to play this game.

I actually did use psX but the same thing happens there. Maybe it has something to do with the bios? I have scph1001, but not scph1002 because I have no idea where to reliably find it. But you only need the former to run the game, right?

Umm, the game keeps crashing immediately after the opening narration. It happens both on WiiSX and my computer. Did I mess something up?
