Considering she's at least, what, a quarter dragon, this is slightly less idiotic than it would normally be.

That said... yeah. Wow. She's definitely her mother's daughter. Cynthia looks like a Rhodes scholar in comparison.

I feel vindicated. I suggested Corrine knowing very little about the kids and just figured a human/dragon/kitsune hybrid prince or princess was only appropriate for the setting.

Hisame's a guy? I would not have guessed that from any of the artwork of him in that update.

So if this is Cordelia, then the question is: which character is she so obsessed with that even her own children know about it, yet she has no supports with?

Which is weird since every other FE game with kids or a second generation justifies them very well.

Why they shat the bed here is something that remains a mystery

I suspect it's a casualty of trying to shove three completely different story campaigns into one game. They needed a one size fits all solution.

well, unlike Hayato, Tharja was raised practicing dark magic and hexes. She has first hand knowledge that it's a horrible practice. And she makes it known in a lot of her supports. Hayato on the other hand in an egotistical, childish, prodigy. He thinks he knows what he's talking about is true, he thinks dark magic is just like the spirit magic he uses. If the mothers mattered in the kids stories, Nyx would have either stopped or guided her daughter in how to use it, instead of leaving her alone to go omnicidal maniac.

This is not-Tharja, I think. She was never going to turn out a sane or well-adjusted person.

Personally, I suspect a large part of it has to do with how homosexuality is increasingly accepted and treated nonchalantly in the West. You're queer, they're queer, no need to make a big deal about it. Whereas as I understand it, Japan is far less open and accepting about it so it's worth addressing.

Not saying I think they handled it gracefully - the writing's as awful as most of this game - but I if that was their reasoning I can understand why they'd do it that way.

Personally, I dislike Rahjat/Tharja quite a bit regardless.

So, looks like we have the entire cast of Little Red Riding Hood distilled into one character.

...So we have a yaoi fangirl who can only exist if the one bisexual male NPC gets together with a woman.


Fire Emblem, y'all got issues.
