mcsilas Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Anyone find it ironic that the two people who got shafted for seasonals (Ryoma and Marth) are in this comic as well? maybe a hint hint to the developers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a side note these comics made me ship Alfonse x Kiran because i'm 5 years old. It's okay. So am I apparently. ;A; But I'm not going to stop. Poor Sharena. She just wants love and attention. But she also found a major flaw in the Heroes' defenses. The villains just need goofy costumes to infiltrate their ranks. Basically Loki.

Haha, that's a nice thought :D I wonder how much artistic freedom the artists are given for these. Is it entirely up to them who to include and what stories to tell?

Sentinel07 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I guess it's okay that the manga is featuring Sharena heavily. I mean, they're giving her next to nothing to do in the main story other than being a cheerleader while Alfonse gets to show off how good a tactician he is.

I know a woman voices the owl in the FEH Channel announcements, but I don't think the comics have confirmed anything as far as pronouns. 21 hours ago, Coolmanio said: No. Feh is never given a pronoun in Japanese (they don't really use them anyways). Feh is always just referred to as Feh. 21 hours ago, Xenomata said: @Selena4Lyfe Seems both Gamepedia wiki and Fire Emblem Wiki refer to Feh with female pronouns (Gamepedia even lists Feh as Female), but I do also feel like Feh was given a feminine pronoun in official material somewhere... but I can neither remember or even begin to guess what. Feh is heavily implied to be female in Japanese. Her first-person pronoun is "わたくし" (watakushi), which is rare for use among males outside of anime butlers (and probably also real butlers). The pun used in the name "FEH Channel" in Japanese, "フェーちゃんねる" (Feh-chan neru, "Feh-chan sleeps"), also suggests Feh to be female with its choice of honorific for Feh.

I only understand a handful of words and honorifics that I've picked up from the occasional Japanese dub of anime. If I understand correctly, Chan is the honorific used for women and San is the honorific used for men? Or is Chan used for both women and children, and San is used for men? 19 hours ago, UNLEASH IT said: Stop bullying Shareena Firstly, there is only one 'e' in Sharena.

It's far less well delineated than that. For the ones most commonly used in the modern day, -san: The most general honorific. Should be used with most people. Considered a common courtesy to show other people, especially those you don't know well, at least this amount of respect. -sama: Used for people with a significantly higher status than you as an acknowledgement of their status, though typically not used if the person has a formal title that can be used instead. Also used by the service industry to refer to guests as well as pretty much any place that allows people to rent temporary space (hotel room, recording studio, concert stage, etc.). This is also used in formal letter greetings regardless of the recipient's status (much like how "Dear...," is used in English). -kun: In non-professional settings, this is typically used for male acquaintances and friends. This is less formal than -san and typically more formal than dropping the honorific altogether. In a professional setting, this is used for co-workers and subordinates in the same company as you regardless of gender. -chan: Typically used for female friends. This typically indicates greater familiarity than dropping the honorific altogether. Also used for young children. There are exceptions everywhere, and works of fiction will generally use varied honorifics more liberally than normal as a device to aid characterization or establish relationship dynamics.

Feh is just Feh, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have yet to watch a Feh Channel in Japanese, so I wasn't aware of that.

I love the art style of these comics :D Laslow looks so smug, it's hilarious. You just know he's been hitting on women behind Xander's back xD Also... the comic pretty much hits upon why I really don't care for Gray and Clair as a couple...

Tybrosion Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Firstly, I'll be disappointed if the next one isn't Laslow and Gray arguing over which of them is the better ladies man, with the punchline being/involving Soleil. Secondly, I await for someone to make a Dio meme out of this one oh who I am kidding someone probably did already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Branniglenn Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 I hate to say it, Gray, but Laslow is probably more Clair's type. And I usually root for the canon pairings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linkmstr Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Sorry for the late HQ version. I was kinda busy with stuff and whatnot. So, to make things a little special, I decided to redraw some stuff for the first time with the SFX. Now, enjoy my terrible redraw skills. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here. Out of all the couples in Echoes, they have zero chemistry together. Plus, Gray was kind of a jerk in their support conversations.

I quite simply treat them as non-canon in my head-canon. No chemistry, and Clair deserves better. I also didn't particularly care for Gray in the game.

I know Clair is snobbish, but even so, she basically tells him to stop hitting on her and he keeps on doing it anyway. I do agree about the zero chemistry, too. I get they might want to show different people together but it just didn't work in this instance. 22 minutes ago, Astellius said: I agree, I hated the Gray/Clair pairing.

I crackship her with someone else because I prefer how they look together, and I feel they would work better xD 1 hour ago, Selena4Lyfe said: Truth be told, I'm surprised the dialogue didn't have her saying akin to "The rapscallion will depart from me now."
