Fire Emblem/Headscratchers: Difference between revisions

Line 5:

*** It's also implied throughout the game that if Kurthnaga hadn't gotten involved with the war, Yune and Ashera wouldn't have woken up (because ALL the countries needed to take a side in the war). I believe Dheginsea even mentions something along those lines at one point to explain why Goldoa never gets involved.

*** Even though the final battle in [[FE 9]] is nominally between two countries, representatives are there from all the (known at the time) countries: Crimea, Daein, Begnion, Gallia, Phoenicis, Kilvas, Serenes and Goldoa (Ena/Nasir & Rajaion may or may not count). The only difference is the involvement of Hatari (which may prove that Hatari counts as a separate country for the purposes of the medallion). Or, it may be as the first responder said and the fact that the war was much broader and longer, and so the total amount of chaos energy in the second game reached a far higher level than the first game.

** I don't remember there being any rule about whether or not every country needed to be involved in a conflict. There needs to be a ton of chaos going around, though. In Radiant Dawn, there were more wars, they went on for longer periods of time, and Begnion's entire army was fighting, as opposed to just part of it. Then you have the fact that Begnion treated Daein much worse than Daein treated Crimea, the Crimean rebels trying to overthrow the current government, the attempted genocide of the laguz, and Daein prolonging the war (for reasons unknown to all but a select few) by constantly getting in the way... People had a lot more to be stressed out about and enraged over in this game than in ~~[[Po R]]~~.

Line 168:

***** No, it makes them cousins. Remember? Fiora, Florina and Farina are all sisters.

*** Still one would get the impression that Intelligent Systems isn't even capable of writing a non-incestuous relationship with some of the things people say about the series. I've even seen on this very Wiki an entry that suggested Mist had these kinds of feelings for Ike. Seriously? Seisen aside (for being a game where the big bad HAD to use amnesia and marry half-siblings for the plot) it's really just [[OT 3|Priscilla and Raven, Ephraim and Erika]].

*** Some people think that this is why combinations like Ike/Mist can't have normal supports in ~~[[Po R]]~~, so IS could minimize the incest implications for once.

*** This troper can't help but have some respect for IS after they managed to make two of the potential pairings in the second half of FE4 simultaniosly half-sibling marriages and cousin marriages. This was done by making the mothers identical twins. They're even predestined.

*** Wait, Ephraim and Eirika? What the hell? There's no support for that in the game. I'm going to put that one down to players with perverted, twisted, and ''wrong'' imaginations...

Line 216:

** Because it's told with mostly static sprites on a background with characters talking. Since there's no blood, actually sexually charged scenes etc. The ESRB isn't as offended. It's the same reason books get away with a crapload more then TV.

** What bugs me more about this is the fact that ''Radiant Dawn'' wasn't rated T but ''Path of Radiance'' WAS. ''Path of Radiance'' said ONE swear word in a hard to find place and made an ambiguous reference to alcoholism. ''Radiant Dawn'' said SEVERAL in CUTSCENES and made an explicit reference to alcoholism, plus all the premarital sex and the sex jokes.

*** The ESRB started the E10 rating in 2005, ~~[[Po R]]~~ was also released in 2005... maybe it was released before the rating existed. Also, Smash Bros lets you hit kids with a baseball bat, so while the themes aren't a serious, there's a good dose of violence.

** This is sort of interesting. In PAL regions, Path of Radiance had a 7+ rating while Radiant Dawn was rated 12+ .

*** What the hell Radiant Dawn gets an A rating in japan anyway?

Line 379:

== Sexist lance knights ==

* I don't know if this was something present only in the English version. But all the official material for path of radiance went out of their way to explain that Lance Knights were "male only" such as the official guide (the one that confuses characters that are class changed and those that are not in the character section i.e/ Nephenee is labeled as an already class changed unit in ~~[[Po R]]~~) and the official site (yeah the one that claims Ashnard is a lord, Greil is a ranger, and Black Knight is a paladin). And now in Radiant Dawn, we are given a female lance knight. Seriously what was the point of repeatedly bashing the fact that lance knights are all male into our skulls whenever you had the chance only to change in the sequel? Is it a mistranslation thing? Like how they claimed the white dragon's breath is ice?
