CatManThree Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) While I haven't paid too much attention to them, I noticed that the quotes that appear on the game over screen appear to be references to actual characters from other games. I personally don't remember many of them except for the quote from Walhart's battle conversation with Chrom, so I was thinking we could compile a list of all the quotes and who spoke them.

Helsionium Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 I can't comment on the Japanese or English game over screen quotes, but the German ones are clearly quotes from real-world people, sometimes a little bit paraphrased or shortened. The two I encountered so far are: "Justice without power is inefficient; power without justice is tyrannical." - Blaise Pascal (labeled in-game as "A Thinker") "Every adversity has the seed of an equivalent or greater benefit." - Napoleon Hill (misattributed in-game to "A Conqueror", obviously mixed up with Napoleon) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selena4Lyfe Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 (edited) Any reason they couldn't just attribute the quotes to the people who actually made them? I mean, Call if Duty 2 was able to do that.

Maybe in the credits they should have done it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
