The Void Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 (edited) Okay, there's the idea that Grima came about after the Earth Dragons in the Dragon's Table fused together. There's also how the Avatar regardless of sex can become Grima. Going with Grima really coming from a fusion of all the Earth Dragons at the Dragon's Table, would it be a stretch that Grima is a sexless being like angels are said to be? Or a couple of the legendaries in Pokemon, like Mewtwo. Edited July 7, 2013 by The Void Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airship Canon Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Grima's an it, yes, even without that theory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prometheus Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I most definitely do not want to think about sex involving Grima. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apocryptical Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Grima is a dracolich, rezed after a thousand or so years which would generally mean genderless by then. I'd say it goes with the reasoning behind character customization that if it cared it could alter it's being to be either one. The reasoning behind character creation is that since you're connected to the great power you could look anyway you wanted too, but the reason you can't change after starting the game is that you forgot not only how to change but how to access the power until its necessary, and then you were just accustomed to whatever you were by then, not focusing on being a shapeshifter anymore but rather the person you are now. Grima is the one it chooses to be what it is when it wants, but it's not going to care until after it's sated its blood thirst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmallPox Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I personally associate him with the first FE final boss. So he is a male for me. And it add the (outdated) symbolism of nagavsgrima, goodvsevil, malevsfemale deities. Manichean as Religion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skarthe Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 If taken to the Final Chapter, Tiki refers to Grima as male for either Avatar, so Grima is male if anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowofchaos Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 If taken to the Final Chapter, Tiki refers to Grima as male for either Avatar, so Grima is male if anything. Localization oversight. Genderless pronoun in Japanese or actual name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Void Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 What pronoun is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowofchaos Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 (edited) What pronoun is it? I meant in general in the game. Gimle/Grima is referred to by their name or "Anata-sama" in Fauder's case. Never is a single gender pronoun mentioned. Ever. It's like how Lucina says "milady" in English even if you're her mother, while all she say is "I believe in you" in Japanese.

VincentASM Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Something I'm curious about, do they ever refer to Naga as a female in the Japanese version? Clearly Naga looks like a woman, but you never know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nocturnal YL Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Something I'm curious about, do they ever refer to Naga as a female in the Japanese version? Clearly Naga looks like a woman, but you never know... I don't think so (and I'm currently at Chapter 25, so any memory about late game is recent). If anything, the game's website specifically reminded readers that Naga has appeared as both genders historically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
