Wolf Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Well I was bored and I came across a weird thing. Lyn and Stefan both have similar hair color, their final swords have similar names. Lyn - Mani Katti Stefan - Vague Katti Do you guys think it is a coincidence that they are very similar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge Judy Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Not really sure to be honest. The only connection I saw between Lyn and Stefan was the names of their swords. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_____ Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Yes. Yes, it's completely coincidental. Most of the names for weapons in Fire Emblem are taken from old mythology, so Katti may just be a recurring theme in, say, tales of Gawain, the knight of the round table. Green hair is very common in Fire Emblem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge Judy Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Alot of characters have green hair so I don't really see that as a coincidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandmanccl Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Almost every swordmaster type unit has a similar background and looks similar on the field. It saves IS money on having to develop multiple sprites/character models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteor Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I doubt it's coincidence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It saves IS money on having to develop multiple sprites/character models. OH RILLY!? Let's check out Radiant Dawn: Edward - member of the Dawn Brigade, a resistance group. Pretty much without a history/personality. Zihark - Laguz lover. Mia - Energetic, prideful mercenary. Lucia - Most trusted advisor to a queen. Stefan - Branded, leads a group of other branded.

sandmanccl Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Well, you wanna get into the fine details, that's fine. But it's still true. Guy from FE7, and then Mia and Edward and both kind of plucky, nothing matter energetic kid archtypes. Mia also fits the female swordmaster stereotype they have, which is some woman that's trying to prove she's the toughest bad-ass out there. See: Karla (FE7), Marisa (FE8). Then you've always got the elusive, mysterious pre-promote swordmaster unit. Nothing much is ever really known about them, they always stick to themselves, and even in conversations, they always seem like they know more than they let on. Karel, Stefan, and Joshua (kind of) fit the bill. Josh is weird in that he's not a promoted swordmaster but fits the M.O. It's all about character archtypes. They are recycled time and time again in the FE series. See: social knights, young archers, pre-promote Sages, clerics, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I doubt it's just coincidence either... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Cow-Cow Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 My guess it's not a coincidence, it was possibly on purpose. But I doubt it has anything story-wise (the designers may just of gotten lazy). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ϲharlie Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 If memory serves, Mani Katti means "Moon Blade", while Varg Katti (Vague is a stupid translation) means "Wolf Blade". I could be very mistaken on this, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral "Bull" Halsey Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 How is Vague a stupid translation? <_< Assuming Katti means Blade, which language idea did it originate from? Just my curiousity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_____ Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 (edited) How is Vague a stupid translation? <_< Because now the name has no meaning. Edited November 17, 2008 by ChaosNinji Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteor Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Because it's not specific enough, duh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Raven Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Because now the name has no meaning.Yeah, it's less badass now.Though, it vaguely makes sense (pun not intended) I guess. :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did (an admittedly half-assed) Google search and got nothing. I'm just going by something I remember reading a long time ago. =/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
