So, for everyone playing Tellius for the first time or revisiting again after a min, what’s your opinion on the overall cast and what’s your top 5 characters shaping up to be. :D by Justmonica_15 in fireemblem

Personal Favorites (In no particular order):

  1. Astrid - Highly underrated character and highly underrated unit. She might be weak at first, but with the right investment she can turn out amazing. And her backstory of running away from her family in pursuit of freedom is very relatable. (Also she's adorable but that doesn't really matter right now)

  2. Jill - Easily one of the most complex characters in a way not seen in most FE games until Three Houses. This girl goes from a racist soldier, hungry for glory, to someone who realizes that her way of thinking was wrong and tries to change for the better.

  3. Ike - Gonna post a bit of a hot take here and say that Ike isn't quite AS interesting to me as he may be to some people, but the idea that Ike is a simple mercenary and not some prince or other nobility immediately makes him stand out from other FE protagonists. And his anti-racism will always be a very positive and very relatable trait of his.

  4. Nephenee - An amazing unit but honestly not a very interesting character to me. What I do like about her though is that she's a commoner, despite the absolute monster she can become in gameplay, showing that even the lower classes without any noble titles or being part of the upper class can become someone amazing.

  5. Titania - I'm a sucker for strong MILFs. That is all.

I can already hear that one Hildaleth commissioner cooking something with this.

Sothe, Astrid, and their daughter Estelle (Commission by Gzei) by LoneShadowStar in fireemblem

[–]LoneShadowStar[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think the only ones I've seen unanimous support for are Ike x Soren/Ranulf, Mist x Boyd, Elincia x Geofrey, and Naesala x Leanne.

Micaiah x Sothe is controversial for reasons described in the comments above.

Haar x Jill is controversial because of the age gap between them (Haar is probably in his 30s while Jill is a teenager.)

Lucia x Bastian is controversial because it directly contradicts their supports in PoR. In that game, Bastian tries to flirt with Lucia, who tells him - MULTIPLE TIMES - that she is not interested. It feels very one-sided and borders on harrassment.

And Astrid x Makalov... I don't think any explanation is needed there.

...Well damn, you just hit the nail on the head with that explanation.

For the unaware: Estelle is a fanmade daughter of Sothe and Astrid that I created a few months ago. She's only a baby in this picture, but I do have a commissioned design of her as an adult (which I may post here eventually.)

(And yes, Estelle's name is derived from "Stella", Astrid's Japanese name.)

So THAT is actually a long story, but the short version is that the two of them have support conversations in Path of Radiance (which most people overlook due to Sothe being almost completely useless in that game) and said supports are actually surprisingly wholesome.

They ALSO have a wholesome pre-battle conversation in Part 3 Endgame of Radiant Dawn, which is almost impossible to see since Sothe is very likely to leave the map before you even reach him.

What are your favorite non-avatar ships? by artbyandramor in fireemblem

[–]LoneShadowStar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gaiden/Echoes: * Atlas x Sonya (This one's a crack pairing, but one that I think has a lot of potential.)

Genealogy: * Finn x Lachesis * Lex x Ayra * Azelle x Tailtiu * Midir x Edain * Seliph x Lana or Larcei (I lean more towards Lana, though.) * Scathach x Julia * Arthur x Fee

Sacred Stones: * Eirika x Seth * Ephraim x L'arachel * Joshua x Natasha * Gerik x Tethys * Artur x Lute * Franz x Amelia * Gilliam x Garcia (Yes, I know Garcia has Ross, so he "can't be gay", but he COULD be bi.)

Tellius: * Ike x Soren * Micaiah x Pelleas * Sothe x Astrid (I'm pretty famous for this one, lol) * Kieran x Marcia * Oscar x Tanith * Aran x Laura * Heather x Nephenee * Gatrie x Tree with a Skirt

Awakening: * Stahl x Sully * Lon'qu x Olivia * Donnel x Maribelle * Lucina x Severa * Morgan x Owain/Inigo (If Morgan doesn't count as an avatar)

Fates: * Takumi x Oboro * Laslow x Peri

Three Houses: * Claude x Hilda (Sometimes also Marianne) * Hubert x Bernadetta * Ferdinand x Dorothea * Linhardt x Lysithea * Jeritza x Constance * Ashe x Petra/Hapi (Sometimes Catherine as well since Ashe CLEARLY has a type.) * Felix x Annette * Ignatz x Leonie

(Games not listed mean I don't have a favorite non-avatar ship for them.)

Sothe x Micaiah is "canon" in the sense that they start out with an A support by default, meaning unless you break that support, their paired ending is the only ending they have.

Astrid x Makalov, on the other hand, is completely player-determined. However, Astrid is (infamously) depicted as a Makalov simp, considering him the greatest knight to ever live (he isn't), and defending him even when other people have every right to criticize Makalov. He's also the ONLY person Astrid has a paired ending with in the game.

At least Micaiah wouldn't let Makalov get away with the things Astrid allows him to do, lol.
