I'm just going to play as a female and avoid all this nonsense.

Also, do we have any details on the support system yet? I'm assuming it's going to be just like Awakening's but better if only because we won't need to unlock people by having every female character reach an S rank. Unless they bring back time travel and kids, which I really hope they don't.

There's still a blood related older brother and probably an older brother by adoption.

You either have a little sister or you are the little sister. There's no escape.

Kind of? You could also marry the lunatic that drove your best buddies sister to suicide. Or the man that built a totalitarian state that swallowed the neighboring continent and tried to expand into your home. The only two paralogues that weren't messed up were priam and alt universe swordmaster dude.

FE4 was supposed to have a third act that was just the kids reuniting with the surviving parents to clean things up. Julius was supposed to be redeemable and recruitable for this.

Wait. Really? But i've only seen people going on about the little sisters. It took me a day to realise there were apparently older sisters as well.

Not that it matters at any rate because it's not like the anime butler is related to the MC.

Emmeryn is still the worst though. Being amnesiac would have been enough, I don't know why they had to make her brain damaged

I thought redhead Pegasus Knight was the older sister. She looks like the younger one and that image someone posted earlier with the translations seems to imply you should know each other pretty well.

edit: actually yeah, she's totally your real, blood related sister

pretty much every character who showed up in one of the rendered cutscenes is one of your factional siblings, i think

so on the hoshiro side you have samurai chief older brother, archer other brother, red-haired younger sister and peg knight older sister

on the other side you have aryan older brother, pigtail younger sister, wyvern rider older sister and some other guy who doesn't show up anywhere else i don't think

e: the families

Actually if the covers for the games are just your family and the butlers/maids. Then that's probably exactly what they are.

Emmeryn is hosed up on so many levels. Even ignoring the whole marriage possibility, you're forcing a dedicated pacifist to start fighting because she's brain damaged and doesn't know any better now.

The ability to choose your own waifu is too much of a money-maker for them to throw away ever again.

You know that's not going to happen.

There were more than enough "normal" relationships in Awakening that you could easily avoid the messed up stuff anyways. I think the worst I ever did was have my avatar marry Lucina, which isn't really that bad. You're just injecting even more weirdness into Chrom's already hosed up life.

The idea that the main character must be able to pair up with anyone, no matter how weird, not supports themselves.

I doubt that'll be back with such a large percentage of the cast being your relatives/adopted relatives. Or at the very least you won't have brother/sister waifus.

Chrom didn't have a romance with Lissa, Raven didn't have one with Priscilla, Julia didn't with Seliph, the siblings in Awakening etc.

They could just make it so not every S rank is about romance and some are just really good friends. And I mean that in a serious way the writing actually supports, rather than whatever they called it when you made a hosed up pairing in Awakening that was still obviously romance.

Hell, we probably don't have kids any more so just having it determine paired endings would be sweet.

Not even romantic ones, just poo poo like BFF endings you could get in the GBA games.

It would also be cool if people had more than two same gender supports!

I think it'd be ok if they just had it so that only the Avatar can get S ranks so thus all the people who enjoy the games for the relationship aspect (for some reason) can choose who they marry, while all the other characters just have regular supports with everyone else and don't get awkward jumps from having a close friendship at A to "I was madly in love with you all along" at S.

It'd be harder to balance how all that works though.

Edit:

The main character is also a dragon so he's probably a special case.

|Syrene and Vanessa|

Sisters Syrene and Vanessa returned to Frelia after the war for a long-overdue
talk. They talked of love and war, of friends now gone. Together, they renewed
their bond as siblings and vowed never to let that bond fail.

|Kyle and Forde|

Sometimes, the greatest friends also differ greatly in personality. When Kyle
and Forde returned home, they were celebrated in song and story. They lived
their days in happiness, as dearest friends and toughest rivals.


Just because Ike and Soren had one doesn't make every same sex ending romantic :colbert:
