Gold Vanguard Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I mean after playing the DLC maps I wondered, why do they think Chrom and gang are brigands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samias Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Because they are ghosts who live to fight on a master's whim. It says so right in the DLC, as shifty as Hubba is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramy Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Not really ghost but more like phantoms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 I call them spirits, but yeah, they're basically ghosts being commanded by someone living. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Lavos Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Hubba also says that the Einherjar aren't really people, they're a projection of the person. A more sci-fi way of explaining it would be instead of downloading the mind of Person A into a robot, they programmed a robot to act similarly and believe that they were Person A.

Faye Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 It's a shame, though. Would be nice to bring the real Marth along. Especially if we could support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowofchaos Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Well the original name for the chapters are "Spirit Talismans", so yes... the localized dialogue is spot on to describing Einherjar as ghost/phantoms that are only an image of what the original characters are. They don't have all their essence and they are bound to do what their masters command. So the "heroes" seeing them as brigands is the only plausible justification for those heroes to attack them.

This is probably the best explaination. One of Hubba's dialogues (I think it's in Roy's DLC) explains how there are two Marths, in that each is different having been painted and represented by a different artist, which impacts the "character" of the phantom.

shadowofchaos Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 each is different having been painted and represented by a different artist Which is a pretty funny joke on the localization team's part. XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momo Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 You'd think these characters would be displayed in their prime, rather than what we know them as. Surely someone young like Roy would've gotten stronger as he got older... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPSEliwoodGabriel Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I think they do exist, but we can't have access to them. (Going with my headcanon that there exists a variation of Einherjar made specifically for studying a person outside of battle.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
