At least it makes sense for him in-story- He's far from an expert but as a Hoshidan prince he learned how to at least swing a bamboo practice sword around.

Ryoma's Club, though, is completely inexplicable.

I sure said that!

Takumi is, according to supports, a pretty good swordsman, though he prefers bows because lets him avoid getting compared to Ryoma.

[up]Same thing with Leo and Xander, Leo could have used a sword but chose magic because of inferiority complex issues.

Politics is the skilled use of blunt objects.

Less noticeable, since Leo can use swords in his default class. And I think he can get a high enough rank to use Leo's Iceblade.

Ah, just lost Nyx in Chapter 17 of Conquest. I suppose she wasn't doing too well anyway at that point. Bow Knight Selena on the other hand just wrecks anything with a shuriken.

No idea of what is going on.

[up][up]Plus the bit where the Iceblade is a magic weapon, and yeah, definitely less noticeable.

I kinda love that they get nicknamed "The Twins" in Revelation, according to their shared supports.

I sure said that!

[up]I mean, they do look more like each other than their other siblings.

It would make some sense for the family resemblance to not be quite as strong among the Nohrian royal siblings, since according to the Ancient Texts in the Records Hall, Xander's the only one Garon had with his actual wife. For someone whose appearance and personality screams "evil villain", he really gets around, apparently.

Re Garon's evil appearance: Actually I think when he was younger, he probably looked a lot like Xander. They've got a strong resemblance.

Artbook/Making of Fire Emblem confirms he looked like Xander.

And that Leo is hot for Camilla.

Leo's feelings weren't difficult to discern in the game itself.

According to Leo's supports with Elise, Garon apparently used to be a real ladies' man on top of being an awesome dad.

Honestly, speaking of crazy dragons: That's the thing I consider pathetic about Fire Emblem.

You should either have the majestic, powerful intelligent dragons, or the "really powerful animals" ones. Not the former turning into the latter unless they use a magic stone to take humanoid form.

Humans Are Special blech.

At least Radiant Dawn did it right by it just being the prehistoric Petting-Zoo People evolving into hairless apes and werebeasts. And they did it cause their goddess was humanoid.

I'd prefer it if like a dragon going insane with age was more akin to how that happens to humans; only some.

The dragons needing the stones was only in Elibe, or am I mistaken?

Humans destroyed the dragon friendly ecosystem which is why they took their power and put it in stones.

[up][up]Nope, even Awakening and Fates mention it.

Like, after Corrin's first transformation there's a big whole thing (which was immediately dropped afterwards, never to be mentioned again) of Corrin needing the stone ASAP or else they're going to go insane

[up]Actually, the whole stone thing does get brought up again...in Kana's paralogue, after the latter goes through a traumatic transformation as well.

I think the only playable dragon who doesn't get a traumatic transformation is any non-Kana kid born from the Avatar, and that's only because we never get to see their "in-universe" first transformation.

Because only Kana seems to get the ability. Any other kid of Corrin's can't even access the Nohr Prince/ss class.

But yeah: A plot point that gets brought up once in the entire game, twice if you count the optional paralogue, is kind of bad imo. Like, that would have been a cooler thing for Corrin to angst over, the possibility of losing control and becoming a mindless beast. Instead we get.... Yeah, you get the idea

It's brought up in Hidden Truths. It's why Nah has urges to destroy stuff. besides being a terrible person.

[up][up][up][up]Um, actually, they can. I have successfully reclassed my current Kiragi into a Nohrian Prince. I've given him a Dragonstone and watched him wreak havoc with it.
