Eirika is apparantly not a protagonist


Recommended Posts

Look at things:

-A subplot where Seth ends up doing all the talking and all Eirika does is act rationally in the face of missing information

-Ephraim gets an entire playable cutscene to himself via 5x

-Her plot consists of nothing but watching Carcino and Jehanna turn into a wreck and then getting rescued by Ephraim

-She is the second-weakest shroud in FE13. (first is Edward)

Chrom is not the protagonist of fe13, lucina and the mu are.

Lucina doesn't influence anything. She doesn't even exchange words with her supposed arch-nemesis Grima.

Lucina is a tagged-on marketing gag and nothing more.

Sure, she has potential. But nothing of it is used. Like... well, having her interact with her arch-nemesis Grima.

Anyway, I do find Eirika's role weird.

It's not just about her own quest feeling like a side story. It's that she doesn't actually face of a against Lyon but the Demon King.

Lyon is a very interesting character with a good dynamic with the twins. But the Demon King is just a Bond villain.

So there doesn't seem to be a point to her story.

A protagonist is the focal character, not the character with the most action. Since the game focuses on Eirika, she is the protagonist. This is like thinking that the protagonist is always the 'hero' or always has to be good.

Also, what is a shroud?
