I mean we already had a Darth Vader expy in the form of the Black Knight. If these two are in the category of cool and intimidating villains like the Black Knight, they should be alright.

Yeah that's very depressing thinking.... Possible he could be in disguise or just someone new entirely of course don't want to go deep into this since I still want to be surprised by these guys!

Calico Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Okay, both of those guys look rad as hell. They remind me a lot of some SMT demons. Tbh, I don't have a problem with them looking obviously evil. I think the 3ds era's (can't speak for any other era) problem was indicating characters were evil by making them have darker or unnatural colored skin. Looking forward to learning more about the school activities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AND has a grudge against church and its crest glorification. I wonder if there is a MAIN CHARACTER with similar gimmick..... Well, there's only one empire that we know of so far...

Ivy Wife Supremacy Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 So I guess after this issue if were getting 2 weeks of characters introduced in it (exception being the last week with the final 3 unless we get the remaining 9 members in one) there's probably 2-3 more issues left which is pretty insane that there's so much content left to talk about! I feel the last major info is in June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, "emperor" is a really generic title in fantasy RPGs. I bet the Reaper Knight isn't a real knight or even a real reaper : P Alternatively they could be from the clichéd (hypothetical) destroyed empire from before Adrestia's founding.

Corrobin Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Hey, guys? The Reaper Knight and Flame Emperor both have no identifiable features. Maybe FE is taking their stab at the Lelouch trope of 'noble who wants change and revolution masks himself to hide his identity' idea.

Azz Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I wonder where the flame emperor and reaper knight will be located tho? like will they be from one of those seemingly less important countries or will they maybe be hidden in the Ardrestian empire? Maybe they could be the former rulers (possibly descended from Nemesis) but after Seiros who took over the empire and established it along with Edelgard's ancestors, they have a serious grudge against the monastery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanguard333 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 (edited) Anyone thinking that the Flame Emperor will be this story's equivalent of Isaac McDougal from Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood or Egil from Xenoblade Chronicles 1; a seemingly obvious bad guy who turns out to be a well-intentioned extremist trying to stop the real bad guys?

HappyHawlucha. Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 My prediction for this story thread: The Flame Emperor; along with two other heads of their group, are crest bearers, and were specifically crest bearers who were experimented on by an inner circle of scientists and bishops of the Church. The purpose of these experiments was to draw out the power of the crests - which would bring out untapped potential in the crest user. This gave them great power but also left them with bodily and mental scarring. The archbishop with white skin at the end of Trailer 2 willingly underwent such experimentation in order to give himself great power, and the girl with the shaky eye is taken from the point where she is about to undergo the same process. The ultimate result of these procedures would be drawing out the crest's power entirely, forming a Crest Stone, which is incredibly dangerous and can corrupt souls by touch. Underneath the mask the Flame Emperor is facially scarred similarly to the archbishop. I can see the Flame Emperor potentially being recruitable if he is an anti-hero in which case his class could be an axe/magic flier similar to the Malig Knight.

FTFY. I know it was an honest to god mistake, but Leleuch himself is clearly based on Char Aznable, which expies are omnipresent in sunrise shows. Im sorry, but i get triggered when people says that x founded trope y when i know that an older show did it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acacia Sgt Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 (edited) But Camus was already FE's Char clone. Which thankfully stopped at the Quattro phase. This reminds me how I once mentioned I'd like it if the antagonist was basically a more radical version of Edelgard. Welp...

TheDreamReturns Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 The designs aren't giving me high hopes for the villains but tbh I kinda felt like this was the direction they were going to go with it. The signs were there. That said, I still really like the designs if only just because I think they look cool. Especially the masked axe wielder.

I think the word emperor may just be used as an intimidation title, it may also be used to draw parallels with Edelgard given their similarities which may come to fruition in the story.
