Fire Emblem Elibe/YMMV: Difference between revisions

** Lloyd and Linus. You fight one before the other, the first one is always misled into thinking you're a gang of corrupt nobles and evil people (Who the Black Fang was originally founded to combat) but upon finding out you aren't, begin to question the leadership of the black fang, and refuse to fight you through underhanded methods and do ''not'' want to hurt any non-combatants. They don't join you because they had to do some thinking, but {{spoiler|are killed by Limstella for their quintessence}}. The other is similarly misled because they think [[You Killed My Father|you killed their brother]]. If you especially want this trope, have Nino attack them...

*** {{spoiler|Their morphs in the last chapter}} just make things even worse.

* [[Character Tiers]]: Hard mode and Hector Hard Mode bonuses (Characters that start as enemies in 6's hard mode and 7's Hector Hard Mode gain the same random stats boosts that enemies have) cause interesting and notable shifts in the tiers.

** Then again though, a [[Cliché Storm]] plot like this may be a [[Necessary Weasel]] for a ''strategy'' game to work; as there always ''must'' be a war.

* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Batta The Beast and Glass are two minor easy bosses, made into [[Memetic Badass|Memetic Badasses]] by the fanbase. Denning is a boss with [[Broken Record|literally one line]].

** On the heroes' side, Canas and Nino both ranked ''very'' high in the popularity polls. {{spoiler|Can't be a coincidence that they're ''related'', can it?}}

** Actually, Arenas can be used in a physical cartridge...if you don't mind ruining your tactician rating because you can't [[Save Scumming|save scum]] as easily.

*** Even in-game, there's a trick involving Rescuing and Ninian's rings that makes Arenas a bit more of a potential [[Game Breaker]]... Though it will still ruin your tactics score.

* [[Memetic Badass]]: Batta the Beast and Glass of course but Marcus is seen as the [[Chuck Norris]] of [[FE 7]] among the fandom.

* [[Mind Game Ship]]: The majority of Legault's supports indicate he likes messing with heads as much as he might like his support partner.

** In addition, Hector Mode throws in fighters wielding Swordreavers to take out Jaffar. The damn mission shifts to luck as to whether or not you're keeping Jaffar alive until the end of the chapter.

* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]]: The reaction to the magic triangle's change from fire, wind, and thunder to anima, light, and dark. Oddly, [[Older Than They Think|this happens in reverse when the 9th game returned to the original triangle]].

* [[Jerkass Woobie]]: Haughty, childish, blunt... and very pitiful once you know her backstory.

* [[The Scrappy]]: An in-universe example, even.

 

'''Erk'''

 

'''Marcus'''

** [[Rescued from the Scrappy Heap]]: He can easily solo the first 6 or so chapters, but then the rest of your party quickly becomes very weak. This caused a lot of people to hate him at first. Later, more people noticed that he can rescue anyone in your party (at first), visit villages which are out of the way, and when carrying someone he can knock enemies down to single digit HP without killing them, letting you feed the kills to your weaker party members. Now he's considered one of the most useful characters in the game.

 

'''Lowen'''

** [[Fan Dumb|Despite the fact that]] Rebecca practically [[Fan Girl|worships Lowen]] in their supports.

 

 

'''Karel'''

 

'''Harken'''

 

''' {{spoiler|Jaffar}}'''

* [[Stoic Woobie]]

 

'''King Desmond of Bern'''

* [[Complete Monster]]: While he does have believable human responses which cause them, his better qualities become warped due to his hatred and jealousy of ''his own son''.

 

'''Fargus'''
