History Heartwarming / FireEmblemGaiden

* If the player manages to clear Tatarrah's level [[VideoGameCaringPotential with Delthea alive]], after she breaks out of Tatarrah's mind control, the ''very first'' thing she does is wonder where Luthier is, and she even tearfully apologizes to him in their base conversation. Despite all of their bickering, they [[AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther really do care about each other]].

** Luthier is beside himself worrying about Delthea's capture and brainwashing, and once he helps Alm rescue her, it's clear that while they get on each other's nerves, they do love each other. In their supports, Luthier is constantly trying to get Delthea to behave, telling her directly that he only does it because he wants her to be loved. Delthea points out that his antisocial behavior is just as bad as hers, but she turns around and tries to help him be more likable, too. There's also her support with Clair-- when Clair compliments Luthier's studiousness, Delthea talks some smack about him instead. When Clair comes back, she agrees with Delthea's badmouthing him, as a ploy to see if Delthea really doesn't like her brother, or if she's just talking big. Delthea's quick backtracking convinces Clair that she loves Luthier just as much as Clair loves Clive.

** The same scene also finally has Berkut enter a MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment... and he accepts Rinea's forgiveness, humbly telling her that if she'd have him back, then they shall [[TogetherInDeath search for their own "empire".]] The tone that Creator/IanSinclair uses in the localization as he says his lines strongly implies [[CryCute that Berkut is crying]].

* During the 4th DLC map, Fernand - previously [[UsedToBeASweetKid a different man]], now anguished and forever disillusioned by the loss of his entire family - sees that the situation is hopeless, and thinks the only ways out are through death. Nevertheless, he says to Clair that he, Clive, and Matilda are prepared to parley with Sladye. Even in his current state, he's still willing to die an honor-less death to try and salvage the life of his best friend's sister.

* Faye clearly holds great affection for Mycen. He's the only character outside of Alm and Silque (her two actual supports) who gives her a support bonus and one of her victory quotes refers to him:
-->'''Faye:''' "I was taught by the best!"

* The simple fact Faye doesn't actually have any ill-will towards Celica (down to even getting a support bonus when fighting alongside her.) despite the fact they're technically rivals for Alm's love.

*** Also, the ''first'' thing that happens when the player steps into the fortress is Celica asking Atlas if he found his brothers. She also tells him to be sure to spend some time with them before they have to leave again.

* Once Celica reaches the Sage's Hamlet, Halcyon uses his magic to let her talk to Alm, albeit as an illusion instead of in person. They both show regret over their argument at Zofia castle, and Celica sounds like she's [[TearsOfRemorse holding back tears. The CG image also shows the two of them holding each other. It's also pretty telling that Celica doesn't ask Halcyon for anything for herself, but instead ''immediately'' thinks of Alm. This allows him to access his promotion.]]

** The same scene also finally has Berkut enter a MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment... and he accepts Rinea's forgiveness, humbly telling her that if she'd have him back, then they shall [[TogetherInDeath search for their own "empire". The tone that Creator/IanSinclair uses in the localization as he says his lines strongly implies [[CryCute that Berkut is crying]].]]

* After [[spoiler: Rinea is turned into a TragicMonster by Berkut's DealWithTheDevil, her soul still returns to comfort Berkut. After all of that... she ''still'' forgives him. She ''still'' loves him, even when he (and she) know that Berkut will not succeed Rudolf after all.]]
** [[spoiler: The same scene also finally has Berkut enter a MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment... and he accepts Rinea's forgiveness, humbly telling her that if she'd have him back, then they shall [[TogetherInDeath search for their own "empire"]]. The tone that Creator/IanSinclair uses in the localization as he says his lines strongly implies [[CryCute that Berkut is crying]].]]
* In a way, [[spoiler: Conrad]]'s final battle quote. [[spoiler: Most of the others in Celica's party refer to Duma as an evil god, probably due to being brought up in Mila's faith. Conrad was raised by Halcyon, a benevolent Duma Faithful member, so he instead vows to give Duma a dignified death fitting of a god.]]
** Similarly, [[spoiler:Silque]]'s final battle quote also seems more respectful than some of the other allies'. [[spoiler:This despite the fact that she's a cleric of ''Mila''.]]
* Zeke and Tatiana's ending, should they both survive: [[spoiler: Zeke will return to help Marth and co. fight Medeus and tie up his loose ends in Archanea, but he never lets Tatiana out of his mind and eventually returns to her side.]]
** Their relationship as a whole is very cute, actually. Tatiana doesn't want to just wait for her beloved at home, and while Zeke wishes she didn't have to fight, he acknowledges her decision [[UnderstandingBoyfriend and even supports it]] [[DeclarationOfProtection by promising to protect her]]. And when [[InsecureLoveInterest she angsts about their future]] after [[spoiler: he starts to remember his past as Camus]], he again acknowledges her feelings and reassures her.

* Besides their relationship with each other, Mae and Boey's absolute loyalty and devotion to Celica is touching in itself. Mae considers Celica her best friend to the point that, when first selected during the final battle against Duma, she tells Jedah that he's going to pay for hurting Celica without even acknowledging Duma's presence. While Boey tends to distance himself somewhat due to them coming from different social backgrounds, he is shown to be horrified when [[spoiler:Conrad]] slaps Celica in Act 4 and angrily questions Saber if he's planning on leaving Celica in Duma Temple at the start of Act 5.

* The credits song is [[spoiler: Mila's farewell to the people of Valentia, wishing them fortune and promising to protect them even after her death.]]
* The title screen with Alm and Celica as children running together is heartwarming on its own. But it's amplified [[spoiler: after beating the game when the pair is now seen as adults in the same field, implying they returned there after the war.]]
* There's a moment at the end of act 1 where it cuts to Rigel Castle and shows the villains discussing the recapture of Zofia Castle. This exchange between Rudolph and a nameless soldier takes on a ''very'' different tone upon a replay of the game. [[spoiler: That smile he makes at the end? It's not the smile of a BloodKnight intrigued by a potentially interesting opponent. It's the smile of a father [[SoProudOfYou who couldn't be prouder of his son]]]].
-->'''Rudolf:''' You said the leader of this “Deliverance” is named Alm, correct?\\

* If the player manages to clear Tatarrah's level [[VideoGameCaringPotential with Delthea alive]], after she [[spoiler:breaks out of Tatarrah's mind control]], the ''very first'' thing she does is wonder where Luthier is, and she even tearfully apologizes to him in their base conversation. Despite all of their bickering, they [[AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther really do care about each other]].
* Once Celica reaches the Sage's Hamlet, Halcyon uses his magic to let her [[spoiler:talk to Alm, albeit as an illusion instead of in person. They both show regret over their argument at Zofia castle, and Celica sounds like she's [[TearsOfRemorse holding back tears]]. The CG image also shows the two of them holding each other. It's also pretty telling that Celica doesn't ask Halcyon for anything for herself, but instead ''immediately'' thinks of Alm. This allows him to access his promotion.]]

** In their B support, when Alm says what hurt him most was finding out [[spoiler:Mycen wasn't really his grandfather]], Mycen has this to say to him.
-->'''Mycen:''' "You will always be my grandson, Alm. [[spoiler:You and Celica are like blood to me. I never would have known the joys of family had I not met you.]]"

-->'''Boey:''' "There are just five of us in my home, and it’s packed to the gills! Being poor’s rough sometimes, but we’re all still quite close."

-->'''Mycen:''' "You will always be my grandson, Alm. You and Celica are like blood to me. I never would have known the joys of family had I not met you."

** Similarly, Atlas was pretty damn ticked off when Grieth decided to kidnap his little brothers. The only reason he didn't immediately go charging off was because he knew he couldn't face him and his army of brigands alone.

-->'''Nomah:''' "I always did love these!"

'''Tobin:''' "Yum! Let me at it!".\\

* In ''Echoes'', sometimes characters can praise each other afterwards if they do well in a fight. This is pretty nice in general, but a couple of standout ones include:
-->'''Alm:''' ''([[SincerityMode sounding completely sincere]])'' You really are amazing.
-->'''Python:''' Never change, my friend.
-->'''Forsyth:''' See? You've got this!

-->'''Tobin:''' "Yum! Let me at it!".\\
-->'''Kliff:''' "Now this makes me happy!"

-->'''Forsyth:''' See? You've got this!

--->'''Forsyth:''' See? You've got this!

* While it is diminished somewhat by Alm and Celica getting into an argument soon after, it's hard not to smile at the scene of them being reunited. Celica is so excited to see Alm again that she runs up the stairs to the balcony so quickly that she stumbles along the way. When she finally reaches the balcony and sees Alm for the first time in years, she [[TheGlomp leaps at him to hug him, knocking him off his feet]].
