Hoshirou Yatentsuki Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 I don't care for them, usually. Then what's your usual plan? I ALWAYS have to have something planned, or else I go crazy. I usually go with my mainstay (failsafe) for streetpass (not that I get too many) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) If this is supposed to be about FE pairings only, this thread is in the wrong section. xP If not, well, I'm only a big pairing nut depending on what series/franchise we're talking here. Fire Emblem and Zelda, I go nuts on. I like writing romances between my original characters too. But other than that, I don't really do pairings all that much. Oh, but I DEFINITELY ship Cheese Sandwich x Pinkie Pie in My Little Pony. Those two seem practically MADE for each other. Oh, and Flash-whatever-his-name-is x Twilight Sparkle. He was from the movie, Equestria Girls. Oh, and I can't forget about Soarin x Rainbow Dash either, they seem cool. ^^ Obviously, I have no problem with other people being pairing nuts as well, I just think some fans take it way too far and way too seriously... Heck, I feel like I take it a bit too far sometimes... Edited September 2, 2014 by Anacybele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also supports help, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sifer Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 TactitionxLyn is cannon I see nothing wrong in shipping or anything like that. It is fantasy and who hasn't really thought of being an awesome person in a book/game/ect. or having an adventures with that person. People have relationships in irl right? So why can't fantasy characters as well or you make the pairings if you so choose, since it is fantasy and for your entertainment. I am fine so as long you stop confusing fantasy with reality when you leave your off time and it doesn't get to the point where it hurts you irl.

Lance Masayoshi Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Game wise pairings I try are usually the best or favorite As for a whole, they can usually burn in the flames of Hades. I don't care for em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I gonna have to kick your pretty little butt... (female avatar x lon'qu ftw) EDIT - I just realized how much the bottom statement contradicts the top...derp. Shipping wars are still ridiculous.

Rehab Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I think they're an interesting part of the series overall, and given (imo) a fair share of Fire Emblem is about being given control of a huge cast who are all supposed to be living breathing individuals, I think it fits in well enough even though the point of the gameplay itself is just fight fight fight, plus lends some good opportunities for the characters to develop and, well, mingle. On the other hand, sometimes I wonder if it's getting to be seen as the lynchpin of the series' identity? Maybe not by all fans, but in the wider gaming public, if such a thing exists. That in turn feels a little ominous to me, though I'm having a hard time putting down why. (Especially since I'd like to see a multi-generational entry in the series where it's part of the protag's job description to oversee your eugenics program help play matchmaker between soldiers, given something like a setting where the war being fought is so massive, all potential parents are forced to face the grim possibility that their children will have to inherit the fight) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phoenix Wright Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) you know how there's those people that won't shut up about relationships? especially make-believe ones? pairing topics happen too often. that's my problem with them.

Rehab Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I haven't personally gotten to participate in many discussions specially focused on just how much a part of the series pairings are, myself Kinda what Awakening does...not quite though... It's similar, but I had like 3+ generations in mind. And part of the reason why I think it'd be nice to have the "matchmaker" title woven into the story, as well as the gameplay, is that I think it'd be conducive to making the games as forthright as possible about "what pairing gets what qualities in the children," via stuff like stat growth projections, and skills/classes/weapon use if applicable. (I'd also just like to see the games list every character's stat growths.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czar_Yoshi Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 If this is supposed to be about FE pairings only, this thread is in the wrong section. xP It's referring to Awakening ships. But, uh, wow, this is the first time I've seen you respond to a question about who you ship with something not involving Ike or Fred. Even though that something that has the potential to explode even harder. As for me, I always pair completely based off gameplay. If I happen to get some good supports in my team, that's cool. If I get some bad ones, I skip them. Sometimes I build a team around a support I happen to like more than others, but it's never given too much weight, never happens more than once in any team, and I can the whole idea if I can't come up with a valid gameplay justification for whatever pair it happens to be (read: something useful that only that pair and no others can do).

Refa Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 (edited) Dear OP: Everyone in SF definitely ships Chrom and Frederick. It's basically SF's most popular ship ever. Take my word for it and don't ask anybody about it ever, because they'll probably lie in an attempt to appear hipster in an already hipster community. That's just how it goes with REAL HARDCORE FE fans. They're weird like that.

I guess they realized it couldn't get much better than Shanan though. Edited September 5, 2014 by Refa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViewtifulBo Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Ho boy... all aboard the S.S. OTP.... everyone has their own idea of who goes with who for their own reasons. Shipping wars are ridiculoco. K? M'kay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they realized it couldn't get much better than Shanan though. I know it was originally planned with three parts, but I don't remember anything in the designer's notes saying that there would be a generation skip between parts 2 and 3 (the last part was to be centered around the children reuniting with their surviving parents- a new generation doesn't really fit in there). Any possibility of a source? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or good old Seliph himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, the OP didn't specify and it was originally posted in the General forum, so... xP As for why I didn't mention those characters, it's basically that I've gotten bored repeating my FE ships multiple times and I have them written in my profile. So if anyone wants to check them out, they can go there. I want to talk about other stuff more for a change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
