Anacybele Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) Yeah, well, the thing is, I've actually met people that ship Elincia with someone that isn't Ike OR Geoffrey. His name is Tibarn. I'm not joking. :P EDIT: I have to disagree with your post edit. The pairing is "obvious" in PoR due to Ike and Elincia's support, Elincia's crush on him, some characters teasing them as a pairing (specifically Ranulf and Shinon), and then the final cutscene icing the cake. The narrator even said at that point "Queen Elincia and her noble hero Ike." D'awww. In fact, that cutscene was what REALLY made me love these two as a couple. :P I'm a sucker for hero x princess pairings, but there was more than just that going for them. Oh, and I didn't even mention how passionate Ike is about Elincia. Sanaki acknowledges how beautiful it is.

Delphi Sage Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Yeah, well, the thing is, I've actually met people that ship Elincia with someone that isn't Ike OR Geoffrey. His name is Tibarn. I'm not joking. I swore I wouldn't take part in this discussion anymore, but I have to say that the Tibarn/Elincia pairing is really out of nowhere. I first heard of it as a joke in a video by Dawnofstefan, then suddenly the whole rest of the scattered nameless FE fans I knew started referring to it, too.

Anacybele Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 All I know is that the basis for it comes from a single quote Tibarn makes at the part where Elincia disarms herself in an attempt to stop Zelgius and Valtome from clashing with Ike and company. He basically says Elincia is amazing for that. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radiant head Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Yeah there's that scene where Tibarn tells Ike he thought Ike was the craziest beorc he knows, but he has serious competition now. I guess for some people it's impossible for people of the opposite gender to develop a non-romantic relationship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) Yeah, and then for some people, it's also impossible for best friends not to develop romantic relationships (which is a reason Ike x Soren fans tend to annoy me)... I never liked either one of these mindsets, to be honest. It's fine to ship some best friend pairings or to have some pairs of opposite gendered people become a couple after being good friends. But doing those things for every single best friend pairing or opposite-gendered friends is just ridiculous. :/ But...sorta going more on topic, I plan to draw an Ike x Elincia family for Tellius's 10th, just throwing out there. ;3 Edited February 14, 2015 by Anacybele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Cynthia- Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 People probably ship TibarnXElincia because there's a lack of female characters that it's logical to ship with him so they try to make something out of very little. He's similar to Ike in this regard actually. The most logical ship for Tibarn is either Reyson or nothing IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) Nailah? Nailah: …I must confess, I’ve wanted this since I first laid eyes on you. I can hardly hold myself back right now. Tibarn: Lady, the feeling is mutual. Why do you think I winged my way over here? It looks to me like we can have a nice, private time right here. No interruptions. Just you and me. Nailah: Hawk King Tibarn. I think that a few more scars on your face will complete that rugged look you’re going for. Tibarn: For a beautiful woman like you, I’ll gladly offer my head. Of course you’ll have to bring me down to the ground first. Nailah: Challenge accepted. I think you’ll regret it once I add your feathers to my necklace, though. Oh, and let’s not tell Rafiel about this, agreed? He wouldn’t understand these urges of ours. Edited February 14, 2015 by Baldrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Cynthia- Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Ooh you got me there, I forgot about that conversation(probably because it's so hard to trigger in game). Perhaps not indicative of romance exactly, but that's like as sexy as Fire Emblem gets lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radiant head Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) I just thought it was awesome that two characters who don't have much in common at all (besides royalty of course) like Tibarn and Elincia could just hit it off like that. Making it romantic just seems like shipping for the sake of shipping. Edited February 14, 2015 by Radiant head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Nailah seems to be shipped more with Rafiel than anyone else though lol. Even Volug. But yeah, Ike doesn't even have many really reasonable options himself besides Elincia. Females, I mean. Other than her, or an unnamed female, there's Lethe, Mia, and Marcia. And the latter two are still a good stretch. Ike at least has supports with Elincia and Lethe, after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Cynthia- Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I think people feel 'pressured' to create a pairing for Ike because society is very used to seeing the male lead end up in a heterosexual relationship by the end. But considering Ike already has two support pairs, there are other romantic pairs in the game, and other Lords very frequently end up with women, the decision by IS to not go this route with Ike seems quite intentional. I doubt they forgot that Elincia/Lethe/Mia etc. existed. I kinda respect them going a little outside the box for once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) Yeah, but then IS went right back to that route with Chrom in FE: Awakening and added Priam to suggest that Ike did marry a girl and have a family after all. So there's more fuel to the fire now. :P Or, perhaps this was IS's intention all along, and for once decided to let the fans imagine for themselves who the lord married rather than give him an ending with a defined female, whether it's a named female, an OC, or simply an unknown woman.

Radiant head Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I'm not sure it was intentional. From what I've read, IS had a bunch of support endings, and then removed most of it, so that we're seeing this really bizarre jigsaw view of what would have probably been closer to Awakening's ending options.

Anacybele Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) I don't know about RD, but I did hear that PoR had a bunch of cut supports. But if RD had some cut endings as well, that's a shame, I bet something with Ike and Elincia was one of them, although probably not romantic. I'd have been fine with that, I just wanted SOMETHING with them! Oh yeah, I'd like to write a little one-shot featuring that Ike x Elincia family I mentioned, though it would take place later than the picture I have in mind. What if Ike's wife, whether it's Elincia or someone else, got sick and Ike had to try watching over the children and helping to do her duties himself? lol this would make for some comedy gold, I bet.

-Cynthia- Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 This site says that there are no more alternate endings to be found in the script data, so it seems unlikely that there were pairs that were scrapped at the last minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magical Glace Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Well yeah, they wouldn't still be there if they were cut.They actually would It's actually easier to "hide" script to do nothing in the long run over removing it entirely The best example I can think of is the cut holy weapons in FE5, which are there (and work fine iirc), just unobtainable to both the player and enemies If you hack them into inventories, the game even tells you "hacking is bad don't do it" or something like that, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
