Hello? Can you hear me? ...Perhaps if I shout? AAAAAAAAAH!


So something minor may have happened.



Well, this is not a good start.

... Ugh...where am I? It's so dark... And I'm so tired...



Uh...hello, blue-haired ladies. Is Lucina nearby?



Corrin's backpack is clipping through that bed.

Flora! I...I must be in my bedroom.
Heehee! Of course, Lord Corrin. Where else? Anyway, I've prepared your horse for you. You have practice this morning!
Oh, Lilith, you're here too. But...I'm so sleepy. How late was I up last night?
Well...
I know just the thing for a slugabed like you....
Actually...never mind. I think you're going to have to wake up on your own for once.
What's that supposed to mean? You seem...different somehow. Where's the ice magic I've come to know and loathe over the years?
Come to think of it...where are Felicia and Jakob? They should be here...
Um...
Flora? What's wrong?




Hmm, I think these are all dead people. Maybe.



Yes, your retainers have been awake and working on your behalf for hours.
Good morning, Xander. And Elise... Sorry, I don't know what's wrong with me today. I'm just exhausted!
Well, you better get it together, or you'll be stuck in here forever!
That's OK. As long as I have all of you with me, I'll always be happy.



Are you sure about that? Is that really what you want?
What do you mean? Of course! And it's what Father wants for me, too.
Listen to me carefully, Corrin. What do you think Father's true intentions for you are?
That's a weird question... I mean, he's my father! He gave me this castle and servants and raised me... Well, I mean, I guess you did most of the raising. But you know what I mean!



That did kinda happen right now, yes

Remember? He gave me that special sword, and...
And... NO!
...



That's a lot of steps you skipped between getting the suicide sword to that.

We...we were just battling in his throne room...
So you remember. What now?
Am...am I dead?
No. You can still go back. But you must make a decision. You can choose to remain here, with us. Or you can go back...and fight with your allies.
My allies...

*Distant voices can be heard*



ADMIT DEFEAT NOW AND YOUR SUFFERING WILL BE MINIMAL.
This is far from from over, Garon! Corrin still lives... I know it!
I, too, sense that Corrin is still present somehow...
VERY WELL. YOU HAVE BROUGHT THIS UPON YOURSELVES!

*Sound of them being hit*

EEEE!
ARGHH!



Yes. They're all waiting for you, Corrin. They believe you will rise again and fight alongside them.




Units that were brought into the battle will do their power of friendship callout now.

Can you still hear my voice? Hang in there, Corrin!
I just know you're coming back. You're stronger than anyone!
I believe in you Lord Corrin. You can't die here.
You're just playing dead, right? It's the oldest trick in the book.
I won't give up, so you can't either!
I won't leave your side, no matter what happens!
You've got to keep fighting, Corrin!
It is not your time to die, Corrin! Not for another 72 years and 19 days...
You can't die like this... You hair is all messed up!
Everyone believes in you. Your flame will go on forever!
Don't give up! Hang on, and I'll whip up some medicine for you!
Everything will be OK. It just has to be! I know you'll get up really soon!
The flame of life burns / Truly, deeply...in your soul... / Awaken, my friend!
I know you can open those eyes again, Corrin...



My friends... I need to go back... I need to keep fighting!



This is way longer and more complicated of a friendship scene than in Awakening, sheesh

Have you made up your mind, Lord Corrin?
Yes. I have to go back. It's so tempting to stay here forever with all of you... But the world needs me right now.
I'm so proud of you. You've grown into such a fine young man. Go! Save your friends, and save the world from Garon. We will always be watching over you.
Thank you, Flora. I'm glad you could help me wake up one last time.



Bye Flora, you suicidal flamer.

*Screen flashes to the training ground*



None of us will ever forget you, Lord Corrin. I'll treasure every moment we spent together. The warmth of your hands when you rescues me that day...



I won't get over this. So even she thought she was a bird??

If you ever feel lonely, just know that I'm out there somewhere...thinking of you.
Lilith...you're going to make me cry. I will never forget you, either. Your bravery...and your kindness. Thank you for everything.



Bye, not-bird person that randomly died

Wait, how are we using MyCastle if Lilith was dead

*Screen flashes to the arena*



Oh! Can you give a message to Leo and Camilla for me?
This might be my only chance to tell then how much I love them... And there's so much I want to say...



And they better not fight anymore, or I'll be angry!
Heehee!
Of course, Elise. I love you too.
I'll miss you...



One more dead person left.

*Screen flashes to the inside of the arena*



You can accomplish what we couldn't. You can save this world. I urge to to seize the future! Do it for those of us who cannot.
Go now. My beloved brother...
Thank you, Xander. I finally understand why you made the choices you did.
I won't let you down. I promise to make you proud no matter what!
Corrin...



Bye, stupidly weird bushido euro brother dude

*Flashes to the top of the castle*



I know someday our paths will cross again. In this realm or beyond......
I'm going back to fight, not just for me but for all of you too! Everyone is waiting for me... I won't give up. I won't let Garon win.
Yato, give me your strength!

(Yato gives the Corrin its strength, the Corrin returns to the real world.)




Oh, the Yato was within him all along! I guess???



Wheee revival time



Hi again Garon. You were a better killer as a human.

Thank you, trusted Yato blade...
Everyone, Corrin is revived!
I'm sorry for worrying you. Xander, Elise, and the others helped me find my way back to you. It's...hard to explain.
But I'm back...and more determined than ever to end this war!
Yeah! Let's get 'em, Corrin!

Hinoka, where were you last update

It's always all about you, isn't it...
Just kidding, Brother. Let's do this.
I was so w-worried about you...



READY YOUR SWORD, SO THAT I MAY SHATTER IT ANEW!
We'll see...





Hah! You see? Blazing Yato can never be destroyed! It is now fueled by the faith of Xander and Elise and everyone I love!
IMPUDENT FOOL!
You're wrong, Garon. This is the path I chose, and you were always meant to be at the end of it.



We are all prepared to sacrifice ourselves for the greater good. That's true power. As you are about to find out!

Wow, really? You're gonna use the blank default face for that speech

THE ONLY THING I AM ABOUT TO FIND OUT... IS WHETHER YOUR BODY OR YOUR SWORD WILL BREAK FIRST!
Get ready, everyone. This is it. We can end this war RIGHT NOW.

Because :effort:.

Anyway, if it weren't for that "real names" clause I'd suggest calling the next Avatar Moron or something similarly insulting to her intelligence. She'd certainly live down to it, if Birthright is any indication.

I nominate Esther as female Corrin's new name.

Also, this sequence has me conflicted. On the one hand, it puts some effort into taking Awakening's final near-death limbo thing and improving on the scene setup. On the other hand, the lackluster dialogue drags it down significantly. There's some visual effort put in to make this scene have an impact, but everything surrounding it doesn't quite work so the scene falls flat.

I nominate Athena as F!Corrin's name, if only because I've never had one turn out to be anything less than a murder machine

Minerva should lead the campaign atop her mighty wyvern, Cherche.

Or The Vaike can take up his axe and make his triumphant return, only he's hit his head and thinks he's a woman now.

The important thing is that she should be an axe murderer pacifist.

F!Corrin shall be named Dagger because I am unoriginal.

Hinoka gets more characterization in Conquest then Birthright, all because she was one of the last Hoshido nobles added and Kagero was originally going to be the elder sister.

There's a Monopenguin! :swoon:
You could always just go with Kamui, technically canon & technically not at the same time!

Also, wyverns are a thing in Nohr, why didn't people think Lilith was a weird baby wyvern? Why a bird?

I'm pretty sure this is only half true. Front half, yeah, she was (as far as I can find) a Kozaki design that just got crammed in to the game to even the numbers of siblings, but the Kagero stuff is just a rumor that seemed to explain some minor oddities, without any real basis in fact.

Then again, there's a lot of confusing bullshit flying around, since this game's writing process? Kind of a clusterfuck!

Can we split the difference and go with Athena instead? Same goddess, but Cherche and Minerva don't deserve to be in this game, even by reference.
Or The Vaike, for that matter.

Or the kids already here but apparently they drew the short end of the stick. Sorry Owain, you were too popular for your own good.

I second Athena and the idea of wyvern riding axe user, though lances would fit the name better.

Also, god drat this dialogue is bad. We know it's the big boss, we're keyed up, and this dialogue just... sucks. Bravo for using accessories in cutscenes to show proper respect for this poo poo.

My understanding is that Conquest is the story of a young woman who sides with her gigantic rear end in a top hat of a father despite all the stupid, spiteful bullshit he does. Therefore Cordelia is the most appropriate name possible.

yeah but it was also corrin's japanese name so clearly the original devs don't care that much about reusing names

that said kamui should be saved for revelations, the fact that it's an ainu name instead of a japanese one makes more sense in that route.
