MrSaturn64 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 SPOILERS FOR CHAPTERS 16-20 May seem like a ridiculous question, but a perfectly valid one. There really isn't much of a hint, because Excellus seems pretty androgynous. After Yen'fay's death, it is said "I could become the next princess", implying her being female. Yet according to the Fire Emblem wiki, he's a guy, with "he" and "his" used. Both male and female sages (save for Lissa and Emmeryn) have the same clothing style, and the voice of Excellus seems to be either male or female, slightly more female than male. The conversation between Avatar and Aversa in Chapter 22 has Aversa refer to Excellus as "he" Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chloe Neo Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Excellus is male. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rxmonste Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 (edited) He's male. Believe it or not. It is pointed out a couple of times in the game. I thought he was female as well until I heard people refer to him as a "He" and "Him" Edited December 6, 2014 by Rxmonste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazydoggamer Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I thought it was obvious he was a guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentASM Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 We might need to hack the game to find out... Actually, I'm gonna do that now XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chloe Neo Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I though he was half and half at first but im pretty sure exellus is not female Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowofchaos Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I thought it was obvious he was a guy Not in Japanese it ain't. "Atashi" "Ara~?" "Kashira" "Wayo...?" Those are exclusively female expressions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fengaridotdll Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Not in Japanese it ain't. "Atashi" "Ara~?" "Kashira" "Wayo...?" Those are exclusively female expressions. He could just be a very gender-confused guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rxmonste Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I thought it was obvious he was a guy I think Libra was much harder for people to figure out he was a guy. Correction: I don't think anyone thought he was a guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowofchaos Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 He could just be a very gender-confused guy The point is, it wasn't obvious in Japanese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isetrh Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 "Ara~?" So THAT'S what he keeps saying. I thought it was some sort of grunting noise. Makes so much more sense now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chloe Neo Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Yeah excellis does have some confusing grunts and mumbles in Japanese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James McCloud Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 He could just be a very gender-confused guy And here I was thinking he was a Eunuch... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alastor15243 Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I'm pretty sure Aversa implied he's a eunuch if you fight her with Chrom. "Find out a man's weakness, and you have them by the... ahem... well I suppose that was one area in which he was different..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 (edited) I think Libra was much harder for people to figure out he was a guy. Correction: I don't think anyone thought he was a guy Another correction: I never mistook Libra for a girl. I felt he had a face that was masculine enough. Now Lucius in FE7 is a completely different story... Oh, I would've mistook Excellus for a woman, though, if it wasn't for his name and having already heard fans call him a guy.

Lord of Gabriel Knight Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Another correction: I never mistook Libra for a girl. I felt he had a face that was masculine enough. Now Lucius in FE7 is a completely different story... Oh, I would've mistook Excellus for a woman, though, if it wasn't for his name and having already heard fans call him a guy. I've always known all three were men. I feel that Libra should've had a very masculine voice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocolate Kitty Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 And here I was thinking he was a Eunuch... pretty sure that was confirmed, so yes he's male Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinehollow Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Another correction: I never mistook Libra for a girl. I felt he had a face that was masculine enough. I feel ashamed that I thought he was a girl now. He's a male.I could just tell by his portrait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czar_Yoshi Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I could tell Libra was a dudebro by the fact that he was wearing pants. True story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Laufeyson Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 He could just be a very gender-confused guy Nah not really. Just a eunuch. And here I was thinking he was a Eunuch... He is. Aversa more or less points this out to us in her convo with Chrom (boss fight). I could tell Libra was a dudebro by the fact that he was wearing pants. True story. Or the fact Libra is fuggin' huge. Seriously, its hard to even imagine him being mistaken for a woman because of that masculine jaw and basically nearly Walhart's height.

Thor Odinson Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 (edited) I could tell Libra was a dudebro by the fact that he was wearing pants. True story. I wished Libra was a girl when he was first announced just so I could have more pants-wearing women in this game. That was when we only had his model and voice to go off on, I believe.

saifors Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I tend to refer to Excellus as an "it" something about his face just doesn't feel human. I saw Libra and Luscius immediately as male, especially Libra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singularity Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 p sure Excellus is male. About Libra, he's pretty much male appearance-wise, albeit a very very pretty one(long hair and eyelashes, man). His voice, on the other hand, is a different story.

Grima's Hero Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 You know, the same question went into my head when I first saw this guy. But, it's a male. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topaz Light Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) I'm a bit late to the punch, but yeah, Excellus is a guy. He has very feminine mannerisms and evidently primping routines, (and is also heavily implied by Aversa to be a eunuch) but he's a man.
