Also, a real badass lady, which there's a shortage of.

She was significantly more interesting than the actual main lord of that game,

Eliwood, Roy's milquetoast father.

I sure said that!

Having only played Awakening, what is so great about Lyn?And since I'm talking about smash and FE, is Roy any good in any FE's(gameplay and personality wise)?
Lyn is from Fire Emblem: Blazing Sword", though she gets a cameo in Awakening''. She's the first lord you get in the game, and a pretty interesting character, certainly moreso than nominal main lord Eliwood.

Roy is bad in both senses. He's basically a Mary Sue in the plot, but quite possibly the worst lord in the entire series in gameplay. He also manages to make his father look like The Most Interesting Man In The World.

Lyn is also basically the series' sole Iaijutsu Practitioner, so she gets unique points for that.

[up][up][up]Wow, that's quite something. I mean, Eliwood is possibly the most boring thing to ever have graced my Gameboy Advance. And then he also had the gall to be a pretty lousy unit as well. Thank god he had two far more interesting and capable co-lords to share the stage with, or I probably wouldn't be the FE fan I am now.

Let's just say there is a very good reason they went with Ike instead of Eliwood as representative of the "international" Fire Emblem games.

I like Ike.

Though we'd probably be lying by omission if we didn't mention that other, perhaps more fanservicey, factors probably play a role in her popularity, even if she's actually a well-written and interesting character.

[up]Take Eliwood and imagine that he never made a single wrong (or even possibly wrong seeming) decision, ignored his advisors and was constantly right in overriding them, promoted later, and had a worse promotion (though with a super-bitchin' legendary weapon).

[up]Well, yeah, she's a pretty girl and all that. That probably had something to do with it as well.

Fanservice? Whatever do you mean?

Oh yes...

That's good.

Gross.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of some aspects of Lyn's design. But they're not overly-present in the game itself, and the rest of her character makes up for it.

I never said she wasn't gorgeous. The fanart is what the "gross" was about.

I was just being clear that if we're going to address why she's popular, may as well mention the elephant in the room. It was not intended as an invitation to start posting fanart of any degree of fanserviceyness.

@Blueblur: She has green hair because, as a character in what amounts to an anime turn-based-strategy/JRPG, you gotta have blue/green/purple/pink hair.

Yeah, well I LIKE fanservice.

Just... not too much to where it's all anybody can remember about the character.

Well, shit. Someone already started posting fanservice, might as well keep going.

[up]x3 If I recall correctly, everyone from the region she was born in has odd (to us) hair colors.

Also, I seem to be one of the few people who likes Roy.

I was just being clear that if we're going to address why she's popular, may as well mention the elephant in the room.
I'm confused. Are you saying that she was popular mostly because she was a female Lord? Was that new for the series at the time? I've looked her up when I discovered her trophy in Brawl, but other than her outfit showing a lot of leg, I can't think of much else that would suggest that fanservice was a big factor.

Though I should note that I've never played a Fire Emblem title before, so I'm probably missing something. I am glad to hear that she's interesting at least; I've heard a lot of fans say that Blazing Sword was pretty bad story-wise for a FE title back when it was released, so I never bothered with it (yay GameFAQs).

...While I'm here talking about FE, I have The Sacred Stones or whatever on my 3DS due to being an Ambassador. Is that a decent title to start with or should I shell out money for Awakening and hope that it grabs me?
