Fire emblem devs liked the switch so much, they made the protagonist a pair of joy cons

@BombVoyageAU 3 years ago

the Switch going into Powersave mode during a 15 minute cutscene between two chapters is my core memory of this game

@iguessthisismyworkaccountl8437 3 years ago

Fun fact, apparently, according to the main artist the characters WERE made with no context as to where they would show up, in fact they would have designed the some characters differently had they known that they would all be from the same country.

To quote one guy, "to be fair, throwing Sigurd by himself into the enemy army is basically how everyone plays fe4 anyway, so the Sigurd paralog is accurate to his game."
Sigurd just forgot he wasn't actually in fe4 and couldn't actually solo your army.

Don't forget that Alear actually died 3 times, and while one is in the past you see/learn about all 3 in the spawn of 1 chapter.

Marth Fire emblem looking into the camera and saying “you are the fire emblem” killed me and is my pick for the video game moment of all time

Not gonna lie, Hortensia kinda looks more like a court jester than a princess with all the flashy colors and the heart mark on her face.

"Go back inside, father. You must live to keep Brodia stable."

"Do you think I'm weak? I'm going outside!"

dies immediately

Come to think of it, the red-blue split design is pretty much an allegory of the discrete split quality of this game.

FE3H: Why can't we just all get along 😭😖🥺😩

FEE: Why can't you all just eliminate each other 💀💀💀💀

"If you think I pick favorites, you're mistaken. I love ALL my children equally."

[Earlier that playthrough] "I don't care for Ashe."

If you showed me the characters outside of this game, i wouldnt even guess that they're from Fire Emblem.

@xana3961 3 years ago

I remember someone once suggested, since Gatekeeper won the popularity vote, that they had a story with a bunch of normal, almost faceless soldiers that slowly revealed their faces and personality as the story went one, becoming the protagonists of the story and gaining an active role in the plot as you progressed the levels in comparison to just having it from the beginning.

"I wanted to be a good dragon"
Is the new
"I just wanted to fill your dark soul with LIGHT"

@jdcw-j7d 3 years ago

When the dialogue bits started I immediately remembered Lukas saying: "A battle between god and mortal? Sounds exhilarating to me." He had so many great quotes!

@Emeraldragon657 3 years ago

"I guess fell dragons have to die in the end. But I wanted to be a good dragon"
I have never laughed so hard, I have not played engage,but as soon as I heard that line I burst out laughing at how cringe it is, and then the level up jingle with "The new worst dialouge in FE history" just took that to another level

@NarrowSpark96 3 years ago

Amber is so forgettable that you didn't even remember that he uses lances, not swords.

@masterjoda999 3 years ago

Even if the story did 'pick up at the end', that's still a bad thing because if I have to get to the end for your story to be good, you have failed as a storyteller.

Remember guys, somebody was PAID good money to write that somehow Veyle just stole the rings and time crystal.
That whole scene is an insult to writing. Everybody in that room should be ashamed.
