Kirokan Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 (edited) Hey everyone! VincentASM brought up Guy's epilogue with me so that we could settle the mystery once and for all --namely, why the heck did he become the Sword Saint if Karel is also the Sword Saint? It turned out to be a translation error, and you can read about it in-depth here. : ) Edited June 17, 2016 by Kirokan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruadath Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Glad to finally have that cleared up lol. Thanks for taking the time to figure this out for us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augestein Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Makes sense. I always took it in my head that Guy got killed by Karel and then Karel was like... "huh, that was messed up. I should stop that." And then became the Sword Saint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunwoo Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 (edited) I love how Guy and Karel's conflicting endings gave rise to a myriad of headcanons where Karel killed Guy in some duel to the death … and it all turned out to be a translation error. It's death by translation, since Guy never shows up in FE6. Edited June 17, 2016 by Sunwoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Huh, after all this time, now we know. Thanks for this ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Draco Knight Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Thank you very much for this: It was really interesting. To be honest, I simply belived that the people of Elibe tought that Guy and Karel were the same person because of their similar aspect, giving to both of them the title of Sword Saint. In my mind, it totally made sense XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acacia Sgt Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Oh, very interesting. I love how Guy and Karel's conflicting endings gave rise to a myriad of headcanons where Karel killed Guy in some duel to the death … and it all turned out to be a translation error. It's death by translation, since Guy never shows up in FE6. Well, I suppose this still wouldn't invalidate those headcanons. Maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirokan Posted June 17, 2016 Author Share Posted June 17, 2016 Makes sense. I always took it in my head that Guy got killed by Karel and then Karel was like... "huh, that was messed up. I should stop that." And then became the Sword Saint. With what we had to work with, this was one of the ways that made that make sense xD I love how Guy and Karel's conflicting endings gave rise to a myriad of headcanons where Karel killed Guy in some duel to the death … and it all turned out to be a translation error. It's death by translation, since Guy never shows up in FE6. It's amazing what new avenues open up when looking at original text in older games! I'm going to comb through the game now to see what else I can find! Huh, after all this time, now we know. Thanks for this ^^ You're welcome! Thanks to Vincent for bringing up the Japanese text for me to check : ) Thank you very much for this: It was really interesting. To be honest, I simply belived that the people of Elibe tought that Guy and Karel were the same person because of their similar aspect, giving to both of them the title of Sword Saint. In my mind, it totally made sense XD I could see that being a possibility too with how history can work! xD So it did make sense with what we were given : ) Oh, very interesting. Well, I suppose this still wouldn't invalidate those headcanons. Maybe. Yep, after all if he became his rival, then maybe Karel would've hunted him down (...and won) as a worthy opponent? xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The DanMan Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Heh, very interesting. 13 years later, we have the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentASM Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Thanks again for looking into this and clearing things up. I think I knew this a while back, but I couldn't seem to find the source when I needed it (I thought FE according to Japan may have covered it, but that doesn't seem to be the case). Hence why I asked ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
