Fire Emblem/Funny
- Fire Emblem has Kieran.
Oscar: Hi, Kieran. How are you? |
- Don't forget Shinon's line to Gatrie from FE 10:
Shinon: I swear you'd hit on a tree if I dressed it in a skirt. |
- For that matter, anything Shinon says to Gatrie.
Shinon: Up to you. Spend it however you please. |
- That, and the entirety of Shinon's drunken rant. He's very much TV Tropes Made of Win Archive.
- Pretty much anything involving Oliver. He acts about as obsessively Bishonen as Yumichika...never mind the fact that he's a delusional Gonk.
- It gets even better when he joins your party in Radiant Dawn. Especially if you have Ike talk to him immediately afterward. The last line of their conversation is just priceless.
Ike: Listen...Would you mind rejoining the enemy? |
- This one's pretty good as well.
Sephiran: Duke of Tanas, imagine seeing you here! |
- The entire recruitment conversation for Largo in Path of Radiance is one long CMOF. It starts with Largo bragging about how he's a "world-class berserker" and asking to see the general (not expecting it to be someone as puny as Ike). After lampshading how familiar this sounds (re: Calill's recruitment), Ike tries to hire him, and Largo initially laughs it off until Calill interjects and asks General Ike if he's going to hire Largo.
Calill: You know, he's a world-class-- |
- Ranulf. That is all.
- Laura's conversation with Aran after he joined the Dawn Brigade:
Laura: By the way, you'll have to become a bandit now. |
- Micaiah gets arguably the best line fairly early on after hearing one too many fanboyish hype about Ike from Sothe for her tastes.
Micaiah: Right. General Ike, "hero" of the Crimean Liberation, leader of the Greil Mercenaries, and father of Sothe's children... |
- Also, Lovable Traitor Naesala being reduced to a Badly Battered Bodyguard.
Sanaki: Still no word from the battle. What's going on out there? I should go to my people. They may need me. |
- What makes this even funnier is that Naesala is off-screen and credited as "???" up until his last line--we don't even get the slightest clue as to whom Sanaki is talking to until he mentions "beorc" logic.
- Sanaki does this again when she has a field conversation with the one retainer she trusted above all others (who turned out to actually be a suicidally depressed centuries-old heron) after he's been convinced to repent for his actions.
Sanaki: You finally made it, Sephiran. |
- She's also responsible for one more, though not directly involved in it.
Lekain: Tah ha ha... So nice to see you, King Naesala. When you can't oppose me, that is. Your blood pact means that you'll have to betray your companions...yet again. |
- Some of Rutger's earlier supports tend to be pretty funny. His C support with Dieck gives the latter the idea that Rutger was trying to kill him simply because he was bored. However his declining to spar with Fir in their C support immediately leads Fir to believe that he's sexist is even better. But it's not because he's sexist. He doesn't play around if he has a weapon in his hands, he kills people. Funny and Badass.
- His A support with Clarine is pretty funny too, when she tries to be nice to him for once, and Rutger's just like "don't try to be something you're not, you're better at screaming at me".
- When Ike's team gets on a ship to set sail for Begnion, Ike seeks out Volke to ask why he never shows up for any company meals. When Volke says that he doesn't like crowds and points out that Ike never had a problem with it when they were on land, Ike replies:
Ike: Okay, listen: Land? Big. Ship? Small. It's not the same! |
- The last part of Pelleas's conversation with Sephiran is both hilarious and gross. At the same time!
Pelleas: I think I'm going to be ill... |
- The earlier games' support conversations were often the epitome of this. Example from FE8: When Ross gives Amelia a necklace he'd bought awhile ago from a street beggar despite not having anyone in his life to give it to, her upbringing in poverty has her unwilling to accept something so precious to him. His reponse to this to say.
Ross: I see. |
- And he's just a minor player shipping with a minor player.
- Almost anything regarding Sain would count, really, but his support with Louise definitely takes the cake, for one simple reason: in the C-support, he realizes a moment too late that the lady he's flirting with this time is already married. Whoops. Cue self-scolding and intense inner conflict, made worse if he builds up to a B-support with her (the highest he can get with her, by the way). Meanwhile, Louise's reaction to all this?
Louise: ...What a funny man. |
- In 8, on Eirika's path, Innes fires the crew of mercenaries he hired to abandon him to convince them to abandon him and save their own lives when they're outnumbered and under siege from an enemy army, but they refuse. The mercenary boss refuses and then tries to get his female second-in-command to flee, who cuts in:
Tethys: Would the two of you kindly stop acting like such... men? And you! You've already fired us. You can't order us to leave now. |
- Innes is good for this in general because he he takes himself so damn seriously and is really, really bad at having a civil conversation with anyone not named Vanessa.
- His supports with L'Arachel are among the biggest proofs. You know she's the Tsundere of the game... and yet she brings the Tsundere out of Innes and they pretty much try out-tsunning each other. Hilarity Ensues.
- Innes is good for this in general because he he takes himself so damn seriously and is really, really bad at having a civil conversation with anyone not named Vanessa.
- A weird example that involves gameplay rather than dialogue. Chapter 3-11 of Radiant Dawn is littered with pitfall traps, which the enemy always avoids stepping on as well. However, an enemy bishop in that level has a Rescue staff and can warp another unit onto that spot. This can allow a unit with Pass to pass through a trap without incident, but the truly funny part is when a ground-based unit with Canto attacks the enemy, destroys it, continues movement into the space that was just occupied by an enemy... and promptly falls into a pit.
- Another gameplay example, from Blazing Sword this time: this is what happens when the Devil Axe backfires...
- FE8: Forde takes a nap in battle. Vanessa and her Pegasus crash on him. Hilarity Ensues.
- Also, Dozla and Garcia taking their common Boisterous Bruiser traits Up to Eleven levels. And the results are described in their A support...
Garcia: That did not go as well as I had hoped. |
- For all of its bleak moments, Seisen no Keifu has a moment that qualifies here: Patty and Shanan's recruit conversation. Shanan goes grab the Balmung from the Shrine, Patty already has it, he has to convince her to give it to him and reveals his identity... and Patty starts fangirling him right there.
- L'Arachel's supports with Ephraim are all hilarious, especially when his slightly unclothed body completely breaks her delicate sensibillities.
- Hector's path's version of "Victory or Death". Send out either Farina or Serra to the ruins where Sophia appears all of a sudden. Hilarity will ensue as either girl's dialogue part will almost exclusively made of her screaming her bloody head off.
