The Geek Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I've noticed that Eirika gets a lot of hate from some people, and I really wonder if it's a popular opinion or just a vocal minority. Also, just not getting why she's hated in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Person's Name Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 What this is surprising to me I've never heard of any hate towards her only love <3 what's not to like about her?The only thing maybe is that the game obviously wants you to like her but I don't see the problem with that, they want you to like Lucina too.

The Envoy of the Beginning Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) It's probably a vocal minority. She isn't among the most well-liked of FE characters, but she isn't that much hated either. People complain about how naive she is, but there are other naive characters in FE that are getting free rides.

Logience Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Story reasons: >Gives Novala her bracelet (over a hostage situation, without even knowing its importance, thanks a lot Seth) >Has to be saved by Ephraim twice in the game >Twincest subtext >Handing over the Sacred Stone because Fomortiis used Lyon's voice >Considered using the new Fire Emblem to undo the war (mostly Mark_Asphodel's problem) Surface reason would probably fall under "She doesn't punch things to death to solve her problems like Ephraim and Ike" like with Marth and Sigurd, and hardcore reasoning would probably be along the lines of "Sexist portrayal of a woman" and "Celica clone".

ZemZem Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Eirika's great. My favorite female lord in the series by far. oh shit really? she is still squishy though Her STR growth doesn't matter to monsters after she promotes, because she decimates them all with Sieglinde, which also gives her a STR bonus, too! But yeah, her durability sucks. At least swords are light, for the most part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elieson Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 When you dodge everything, defense doesn't matter that much.she is pretty dodgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X-Naut Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Shit STR growth 40% STR is respectable, but shit STR base and shit Iron MT still drag her down. I'd complain about her defense too if she weren't noticeably less cardboard than Lyn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterIceTeaPeach Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 (edited) I thought Eirika is the "sexiest female Lord" and now I read this topic... Eirika is a pretty alright Lord. Her bases are eh and a problem is her low con, but her growths are decent. I never had trouble wih her.

Brendor Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 haters gonna hate idk I always thought she was kinda meh like a mounted swordmaster w/o the crit bonus basically Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimeanRoyalKnight Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 I guess it comes from the fact that she has a really crappy STR growth and is also incredibly naive, but I've never seen Eirika haters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elieson Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 But guys, Friendship is Magic, don't you know! I'm sure if she asked Lyon reeeeeeeeeeeeally nicely, that he'd have handed back the Sacred Stone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedi Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Never heard of Eirika dislike. I personally like her more then Ephraim who is characterized as a master tactician who can never lose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xator Nova Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 People hate her because she's a Lyn expy.Ingame, however, she's way, WAY better than Lyn due to better availability, x3 effective weaponry instead of x2, and a superior and more available ultimate weapon that OHKOs everything.I personally find her more useful than FE9!Ike, because unlike him, she only needs a Str proc' on her first level-up to start ORKO'ing.
