History WMG / FireEmblemFates

She's polite, overly apologetic, her voiceover says [[CanadaEh "eh"]] quite a bit, and what do I even need to say about her being from the Ice Tribe.

** This is [[JustForPun supported]] by how, in Azura's confession to Male!Corrin on the third route, she tells him that she somehow feels as though she's loved him a long time. That could seen as suggesting LoveAtFirstSight...''or'' it could be seen as suggesting they fell in love on the other two routes, and she very vaguely remembers that.

In the e3 trailer, which also confirmed that the game is getting English voice clips, one of the samples was Sakura screaming "Mother!", which, does sound a little similar to how Asuna from ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'' screamed Kirito's name when he was impaled by Oberon in the second to last episode of Season 1.

When one looks at the [[UnrequitedTragicMaiden trope]] the fanbase loves to talk about, these two characters seem fairly similar. But their love situation is handled vastly different. Most of Cordelia’s S-supports can be summed up in ''‘you like this guy, but since that ain’t happening, marry me instead.’'' You could count on one hand the guys this doesn’t happen to. Her solo ending references her crush on Chrom, and her name and birthday are supposed to reference this. It's really hard to talk about Cordelia’s character without bringing up Chrom. This [[UnrequitedTragicMaiden trope]] is so prevalent in Cordelia’s character everything else plays second fiddle and her issues feel more like they were tacked on, and [[NeverLiveItDown the fandom's tendency to treat her like that's all she has character-wise]] doesn't help matters.

* Leaked images from the June 4th Famitsu have revealed that she "hates to lose" and "has to be the best at everything". If she isn't Severa, she's at the very-least a ShanaClone of her.

* Camilla seems more... [[GagBoobs generously endowed]] than Hinoka. She's also much more feminine than the Tomboyish Hinoka. At the same time, however, neither woman is afraid to express themselves to the Avatar. Camilla shows her more ruthless side by saying she's willing to kill whoever gets in the Avatar's way. Meanwhile, Hinoka flat out cries into the Avatar's chest, showing her more tender side.

In a game placing as much value on choice as this game seems to, making one choice inherently better than the others takes that choice away; why would anyone choose another path if it's not as good? Instead of the third path having Kamui unite both nations to fight a greater threat (which has been speculated), Kamui will still be unable to get them to work together. Unlike the other paths, where they choose a side, they will decide to take matters into their own hands...by [[KillEmAll murdering both royal families]], [[DarkerAndEdgier using their heritage to seize control of both countries]], [[WellIntentionedExtremist and becoming Emperor/Empress Kamui]]. They will then go on to successfully defeat the "greater threat", [[BittersweetEnding but at the cost of both Their families and possibly their reputation as well]]. Basically, they'll be a [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAwakening successful Walhart]].

* Xander is definitely a [[VideoGame/FireEmblemAkaneia Camus]] expy. [[spoiler: And Camus was recruitable as Sirius in ''Mystery of the Emblem'', so he fits the pattern.]]

Due to the fact that there are actually more characters for ''Fates'' in comparison to the previous Franchise/FireEmblem games, and the fact that both routes have different set of characters the player can recruit, it is very likely that the English dub will have voice actors voice a character from Hoshido and Nohr. A possible example may be Creator/MatthewMercer voicing both Ryouma and Xander.

* There was plenty of that in both versions of Awakening and the Japanese version of Fates. Why wouldn't it be in the dub?

Camilla seems like Aversa, but also seems a bit like [[VideoGame/FireEmblemElibe Vaida]], in that both are rather buxom and infamously powerful wyvern riders (not the class, just the fact that they ride wyverns).

Leo comes across as similar to [[VideoGame/FireEmblemJugdral Eyrios]], for some reason. Both are mounted mages who don't seem like they are easy to get along with (though you really can't tell with Eyrios since there aren't any supports).

Elise seems like [[VideoGame/FireEmblemElibe Nino]]. Both are magic users, younger sisters to powerful bosses, and are very sweet girls.

* Corrin's story is also very similar to [[VideoGame/FireEmblemJugdral Altena]]. Both were royal children from a fertile country that was opposed by another, less fertile country (Leonster and Hoshido, Thracia and Nohr). Both were kidnapped when the prince/king was out of the country (Quan in Yeid, Sumeragi in Cheve), and the prince/king was killed by the king of the opposing country (Travant, Garon). The murdering king adopted the child and raised them alongside an older brother (Aereone, Xander). When the royal child grew up, they met their siblings (Leif, the Hoshido siblings), who implored them to join them in their cause, even if it meant going against their adopted family. Altena also the option to talk to ''either'' a subordinate of her adopted father (Hannibal) or a subordinate of her biological father (Finn), much like how characters loyal to their country are route-exclusive in Fates. Altena's choice somewhat reflects the Revelation route: she runs off instead of joining either, demands answers from her adopted father, and ultimately joins her biological brother. Finally, she persuades her adopted brother to join her against the true enemy in the end.

Complete with playable monster units. This route would have Kamui as a {{Well Intentioned Extremist}}, at best.

* ....Resisting urge to [[Franchise/AceAttorney object]] [[ThatWasObjectionable to this objectionable idea.]] It's pretty clear from all gathered evidence that they mean you'll have to revolutionize Nohr during the war with Hoshido. Otherwise you're telling me that choosing Nohr makes me evil, and [[NotDistractedbyTheSexy I will not be lured by sex appeal]] [[TheDarkSide to the dark side.]]

** ShipTease can be found [[VideoGames/ShipTease here]]. "Impact" was probably the wrong word, but a plot scene does change depending on their relationship, which in ''Fire Emblem'' is usually a sign that the two characters are {{Implied Love Interest}}s -- look at [[VideoGame/FireEmblemElibe Eliwood and Ninian]], for instance. I'll concede that most of the mystery is gone by the time Lucina joins, but she still has the other qualities a MysteriousWaif needs.

** ShipTease can be found [[VideoGames/ShipTease here]]. "Impact" was probably the wrong word, but a plot scene does change depending on their relationship, which in ''Fire Emblem'' is usually a sign that the two characters are [[ImpliedLoveInterest Implied Love Interests]]--look at [[VideoGame/FireEmblemElibe Eliwood and Ninian]], for instance. I'll concede that most of the mystery is gone by the time Lucina joins, but she still has the other qualities a MysteriousWaif needs.

To go with the above. Both bond with their respective Avatars quickly, both are the [[ImpliedLoveInterest Implied Love Interest]] of their opposite gendered Avatar (or heck, even the [[HoYay same gendered]]). Both have the Fire Emblem blue-hair of relevance (though Azura's is a lighter shade than Chrom's), both seem to be their Avatar's pillar of support as much as it is the other way around. And if you want to take into account the above WMG about the Avatar resetting time to try and save Azura, it does remind a person about Chrom's death in Lucina's timeline and what results of it. You could even compare her necklace to the Falchion. And they both refer to their Avatar as their other half.

From the way he says "No more games! To the death!", he sounds kind of similar to Lucario (voiced by Schmmel) in the UsefulNotes/WiiU and 3DS version of ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros''. Plus, Sean now works in L.A., nowadays. It could also be possible that Diraison is the voice, because I think it also sounds a little similar to Guts from ''Manga/{{Berserk}}''.

The game makes it very clear while they're trustworthy, [[NaiveNewcomer a bit naïve,]] and maybe a little innocent, Corrin isn’t [[GoodisNotDumb stupid.]] They were able to deduce that Gunter was the one who attacked them and killed Scarlet. And they didn’t trust Anthony but were [[AllLovingHero hoping he’d make the right choice in the end.]] Given that both Corrin and Anankos have a [[MakingaSplash clear water motif,]] and the fact that Anankos is one of three NPC dragons featured in the game, I find it a little difficult to believe that Corrin wouldn’t put two and two together after the fights with Mikoto and Sumeragi and realize that their father is the same dragon they’re trying to kill.

** The problem is, [[spoiler: Mikoto spent over a decade taking care of Azura and most likely never told her their relationship while she was in Hoshido because it might have invoked the curse. One has to assume Mikoto only really brought up her relationship with Arete so someone could tell it to Azura later. It seems like if they were anything but biological sisters, Mikoto would have said something. And this game clearly runs on anime-genetics, like Takumi coming out with silver hair despite Hinoka's red hair and Sakura's pink hair, and his brother and father's dark hair. And, while the Avatar does bear a resemblance to Mikoto, they have an array of hair colors that neither parent has. And in [[VideoGames/FireEmblemAwakening Awakening]], Robin looks nothing like their father, so genetics probably don't mean all that much.]]

On the flipside there’s Flora. Her issues are always present in her supports, from admitting jealousy towards Felicia, to wishing for the Female Avatar’s wish to come true while not knowing they wished for her happiness. When she levels up she’ll ask point-blank, ‘who’s stronger, me or Felicia.’ Her crush on Jakob could be cut out and you’d miss nothing, compared to Cordelia, where you cut hers out and you’re left with a lot to rewrite. For Flora, her crush seems like it’s there just to add more to the tragedy of her situation. Yes, as the ''Spooky Scramble DLC'' shows there’s still a chance for flubs, but even then Flora only has ''one'' S-support and is over all handled so much better than Cordelia. It’s really hard not to see Flora as the character Cordelia ''should'' have been, a girl with her own issues who needs a good [[JustForPun support]] system. You could say Caeldori, the more obvious {{Expy}}, does something similar, but it's way more noticeable with Flora.

** Um...''nephew?'' What? They're ''cousins'' by default. And if Azura and the Male Avatar marry the game's script doesn't change the way it does for Chrom/Female Avatar in the aforementioned "Lucina's Judgment," the reunion scene, the scene at the end of Chapter 11, and the reveal they had a baby during the timeskip. The closest thing ''Fates'' gets is a new support and confession per game, and given the situation [[ChildofTwoWorlds they both grew up in,]] it's kind of necessary.

Look at his father. No matter what Arthur does, the most unlikely of coincidences seems to happen just to make his life miserable. You'd think that this would extend to his love life, and in some realities, it does, but he manages to find a nice wife most of the time and start a family with her. This could be attributed to Arthur's charming earnestness and [[JustForPun skill]] in wooing the ladies, but who's to say his unborn son's luck didn't help counteract his own awful fortune in this respect? Weirder things have happened before.

[[WMG: One of Elise's retainers were intended to be [[JustForPun from Ylisse]] but was changed for reasons.]]

Because the real-world time between the release dates (Japanese and international) of [[spoiler: [[VideoGames/FireEmblemAwakening Awakening]]]] and ''Fates'' was [[LeaningontheFourthWall three years.]]

If you shorten the first word, you get the [[PrecisionFStrike F Yumi]], and [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar Takumi gives a lot of FUs]] to [[GameBreaker the bad guys]] on ''Birthright'' and ''Revelation'' and [[ThatOneBoss to you]] on ''Conquest''.

* Possibly confirmed? Apart from the fact that she was just as [[BrokenBird broken]] by Nohr's DeadlyDecadentCourt as the other Nohr kids were, Azura comments to Corrin that if she was in their situation, she would most likely pick Hoshido. (Really, the only reason she ends up with Corrin in ''Conquest'' is because she got captured.) This is despite ''knowing'' that she was actually kidnapped. So even if she did grow to like them more eventually, Azura was probably ''at least'' hoping that that's what would happen.
