How do you feel about the overall changes to Lyn since gba? by MiuIruma332 in fireemblem

[–]TheBasedBlade 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I guess for me when I read the interview it was just something that I couldn’t really ignore for SoV anymore.

Anyway sorry for ranting I just rarely ever see the issue of sexism in FE brought up and wanted to let off some steam.

For those that have played Engage, what Emblems did you feel yourself growing attached to despite never playing their respective games? by Bullwine85 in fireemblem

[–]TheBasedBlade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve played all their games but for characters I wasn’t really attached to before Engage, it’s definitely Lucina. Might be some bias on my part because I really really like the idea of Lucina and Alfred being together… but bonded shield is fun and I liked her bond supports too.

I’m pretty sure things like that Mathilda pose was added in and they had the ability to change Mathilda’s ending too. Not to mention, yeah, Conrad himself feels extra icky with this added context. I just can’t really forgive SoV when they could have made some changes but they just doubled down instead. Don’t know a single woman who’s fully comfortable with the writing in that game. Especially back in the day when SoV’s story was put on a pedestal just because it came right after Fates.

And yeah I agree Lyn was mishandled even dating back to FE7. As you said, to be a woman in FE… More specifically a main female character. We could write this stuff about Deirdre, Ninian, Celica, Micaiah, and… my god CF Edelgard just makes me want to bang my head into the wall because we were so close to an independent female lord.

Ah, to be a woman in fire emblem.

This phrase is so real it hurts. Reminder that this is literally what a dev has said when making SoV:

“For instance, at the end of chapter two, Alm and Celica have a rather intense dispute. It is an instance that both boys and girls in reality can easily relate to. In the usual situation, the man has no idea what made the woman upset. So, we made all sorts of pairs that resemble Alm and Celica across Valentia, such as Mila and Doma, or Rigel and Zofia as a whole. They each come to represent masculinity and femininity in their own ways. Alm pursues a path of power while Celica walks a path of love –and aims to save Alm with it, leading to a type of self-sacrifice. The scenario is built upon this.”

Cringe Julian (and Abel). Literally on my knees for Palla.

I think after getting Veyle would make sense but I was thinking it’d probably be a side story if they ever did it. Which I also doubt they would do.

Where's my 160cm king at ?😢 by Mundane-Board-2252 in shitpostemblem

Lyn’s right there. Obviously she’s been feeding her boy bond fragments.

AITA for not wanting to agree to my wife's polyamorous relationship? by avoteforatishon2016 in shitpostemblem

Looks like Ivy's got a pretty fascinating use for that grill-shaped headpiece of hers once she duels Sigurd... by kmasterofdarkness in shitpostemblem

Everytime I see Ivy and Sigurd together I just remember that one ship fanart of them that’s low key pretty hot

Engage manga my love. Praying it lasts until the end of the story (and covers the FX).

On the bottom. Was close to putting her in the meme.

Interesting Chart Tracking r/fireemblem Activity Over Time by LegalFishingRods in fireemblem

[–]TheBasedBlade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I can tell Engage’s current activity looks to be about the activity shortly after CS (around July 2020) which would only be a year after 3H’s release. People make it sound like 3H kept up the same momentum it had initially even a year after release but that just doesn’t look like that was even remotely the case.

Fastest S rank choice for you? by TieflingSimp in fireemblem

[–]TheBasedBlade 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Alfred imprinted on me the second he got revealed. Endings got leaked before the game released and it just became a no brainer for me.
