Jotari Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Villains with some actual complexity like Arvis and Trabant, a Jeigan/Oifey who betrays you, a knight who's a complete asshole, and a pirate character like Nedata. EDIT: I'd also like a character like Raquel from Tearring Saga who is powerful but cannot deal killing blows. Orson fits that criteria quite well. Though I take it you'd like to see the character around for a while longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A betrayal that isn't completely obvious yeah. Zeke from Tearring Saga is sort of like that too but his story isn't written very well.

You thought Orson's betrayal was obvious? It's been a while since I've played the Sacred Stones but the only thin I remember being strange was that they gave us two paladins. He didn't really stick around long enough to make it obvious as far as I can remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sentacotus Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 (edited) How about a lord or main who is a mage/sorcerrer I feel like you can make an interesting story centered around that.

Not at the start but when it was like "there's a TRAITOR in Ephraim's army" it's pretty obvious considering his sunken eyes and vastly better stats.

Jotari Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 An Avatar Lord wouldn't be all that different to a normal lord/ I'd just be able to change their appearance. Meaning Marth in a dress basically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KMT4ever Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 This isn't exactly a character, but I would like to see a big empire that isn't the obvious bad guy for once. Like Rome vs. the Celts and Germans, the empire is safe and secure behind its fortified borders but has no strong desire to expand any further. The real conflict would be internal, with high-minded idealists trying to establish peace with the barbarians to save on military expenditures while the more conservative militarists want to conquer them to forever solve the problem. Throughout the game you could make decisions that would influence both mission variety and your standing with either party. Eventually you would have to choose sides in a civil war. Crafting a main character for this situation would be interesting, I do think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FE hasn't done it and hasn't shown any sign of changing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMT4ever Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 But I think being able to choose what side you're on is better suited for other franchises. FE hasn't done it and hasn't shown any sign of changing that. You have a point. Unfortunately I can't figure out how else to make that plot work without player choice, lest the game appear to overtly promote one side over the other. Perhaps the poor could get tired of heavy taxation to pay for the defensive military and revolt, allowing the game to start without fighting stereotypical bandits and introducing the player to a gray morality system. Widespread unrest of many kinds would follow throughout the empire and you would have to crush both embittered poor and dissatisfied generals who feel the government should be destroying the barbarians, enough variety to make anyone feel at least a little guilty. Eventually the barbarians themselves storm the border and the player is faced with a climactic battle to preserve the empire, which after a close victory is facing severe internal dissent as the game ends, leaving room for a sequel. The lord of the story could start as a loyal soldier who becomes increasingly unsure what he's fighting for, eventually coming to a decision.

Misses Elise-chan! Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 A theif who would rather fight recklessly than scout the area or open chests and doors. The problem is he or she can't fight well. A healer who always tries to hurt the enemies instead of healing his or her allies. The problem is he or she can't fight. An archer who always gets too close to shoot or is to slow to have enough time to shoot before the enemy draws near. A general who is afraid of taking hits regardless of his high defense. An archer who is so using to melee weapons that he always attacks with the bow and not the arrows. A character who used to be skilled with a lance, sword, bow, or axe, but had to switch to magic because of a past injury on his hands or arms where. A character with a mental disability. A character with a physical disability. Alright guys, this is a good one. How about... ...A character who is causing the destruction of nations or something the main protagonist dislikes. Maybe she has the power to summon dragons or something. No wait, she is causing the complete destruction of the world, the apocalypse. Nations crumble, floods, earthquakes, revolutions, storms. She is the main protagonists childhood friend or sibling. Main protagonist has an extremely close bond with the character. Remember how in Rekka no Ken Nergal needed Ninian and Nils to open the dragon gate to destroy the world? This time instead of being forced to destroy the world by an evil character, this person is unknowingly causing destruction or harm just by being alive. She is not being manipulated or forced to do this. She does not wish to harm others and is known throughout the kingdom for her good deeds such as ending the war, rebuilding villages, and fighting along side her comrades. She is also the queen. Eventually everyone finds out about her ability and this leads to the main protagonist to have to decide to kill her, saving the world or run away with her to wait out the end.
