Fire Emblem Fate (IF) thread (spoiler warning)

Don't say we didn't warn you.

Fantastic Supreme Überkaiser Emperor Folt of The Infinity and Beyond" ... "The First"!

It's Game FAQs, what do you expect? It's a step up from /v/.

Politics is the skilled use of blunt objects.

Though, as I recall, that applies to all transformed Laguz, with the dragon tribes just having it worst.

Plus, their isolationism was meant to keep at least one race out of any continent spanning war, to keep the goddess sealed. Makes a lot of sense, until it doesn't and then they side with the goddess because we needed another level near the endgame.

I don't hate the history it's just why did the reuse that one level map in Awakening during the empire arc...

Mileena Madness

That's a lot of backstory and purpose given to 3 characters who do absolutely nothing in the main story...

Oh, you would complain no matter what, why do you bother?

If you have nothing to contribute other than complain on other people's complaints, then don't bother posting.

Yeah, you have to be trolling, because otherwise I just don't get you...

Anyway, I still think we should have seen more Awakening kids in the DLC, rather than just the ones that won the popularity contest. Anyway, is there more stuff left to come? This is neat and all that, but doesn't compare just yet with The Future Past.

I'm actually kinda with both of you on this one.

Frankly I would've left the Awakening kids in Awakening, allowing for Fates to be its own game separate of Awakening. At this point it really just does feel like pandering towards the (well-deserved) popularity of Awakening, which is one of the reasons I don't plan on getting Fates. Plus it kinda feels like Fates overrides some support pairing choices in Awakening through their appearances here.

On the other hand, once they did decide to include the Awakening kids they should've just had them all for the DLC. It was a poor choice to just have the winners of the popularity contest, and many people are now seeing through their reasoning.

Keep in mind that Gaius, Cordelia and Tharja were also popularity contest winners, and, while Saylla is an interesting take on the issue, and Matoi is quite neat when mothered by Luna/Severa, Grey being Gaius just because is, well, eeh, yeah.

I thought it was implied - if not outright said - that those three were reincarnations of their Awakening counterparts. If that's true, then it's basically the same thing. Plus it adds some Squick to consider that Severa can potentially be the mother of her own mother.

"Can't make an omelette without breaking some children." -Bur

Nah, the Awakening incarnations are the reincarnations, it seems. Awakening happens after every other game, Fates happens before every other game.

Past and future don't mean anything when we're talking about interdimensional travel. Saying that Fates takes placed before very other game is meaningless.

Except it is stated in the game.

Also, Awakening also involved interdimensional travel, yet the kids came from the future. Stop being pedantic will you?

What's the point in calling something a prequel when it affects absolutely nothing in the games supposedly following it?

Even now, with the backstory out of the way, there doesn't appear to be anything to suggest that Fates wouldn't be better off as its own universe instead of making the whole series look more convoluted than it needs to be.

"Tell them to shut up and have some faith in me." - dead flashback guy

Syalla is the only implied reincarnation. Grey and Matoi do not reference anything involving any other life they may have.

Meh, I don't see convulsion, I see events having a degree of relation, but not much.

Just like whatever the Maya were doing didn't really affect the medieval Europeans or the feudal Japanese, yet it happens in the same world over vague millenia, and all in all, there are common themes and a point in the past where all were the same.

I will talk like God exists, but interpret that as "fate" if you want. God is a better writer than any human will be. History is internally consistent, it's just that us humans aren't able to completely understand it because we're only left with clues of what happened. Medieval Europe and medieval Japan can both exist without contradit each other because this a world that makes sense. Everything happens in a way that is internally consistent, and everything is caused by another thing, through a logical chain of events. There is no time travel, no magic, no inconsistent characterization, no DEM. Everything happens the way should be.

I doubt IS writers are 1% of reaching the consistency that Real Life have.

You claim that God is opressing us, but I see you opressing others without needing a God.

That is a quite limited view of the universe down there, if you ask me.

x6 Actually it's conflicting more than anything. Some dialogue suggests the past, others suggest another world. Including Invisible History supporting the Latter.

The most likely conclusion is Alternate Timeline because the future the kids came from still exists as its own world, and all the dragons disappeared save for two and the Astral Dragons in Fates.

Every accusation by the GOP is ALWAYS a confession.

Yeah, cause-effect is quite constant, the way laws of physics work. However, when we don't know the cause for something, we tend to make up bullshit, and wage war when others make up different bullshit trying to explain what caused something. Would you call that inconsistent writting or what?

So this person is translating Invisible History currently.

Turns out Hydra's blood does last a bit. Though they'll have it for a few years at most. Most likely permanent in the case of child units since it's been over a decade since they got it.

Every accusation by the GOP is ALWAYS a confession.

If the world makes sense, then I shall be appropriately horrified.

I'm half-joking, I think.

Oh God! Natural light!

A part of me is happy that Hoshido is the bad route.
