Your favorite character?

What's your favorite character in Fire Emblem as a whole? Like, when you think of your fave, who and why would you pick them?

Mines a bit obvious. But it's more or less because of a misshap whilst running Awakening (I got Olivia killed 1st run) and then I ended up babysitting her, reading through her supports and really falling for the character as a whole (since I'm hella shy until I get to know people as well). That and, I love the interactions between Robin and Inigo in Fates and in the recruiting chapter.

Enough about me though. Who do you like alot and why? Go ham, I wanna see what people like, since I actually haven't seen this question asked before, at least, not here.

I haven't played Awakening yet. But I've watched lots and lots of vids including Warriors.

Guess who it is!

The chosen one, with overwhelming Powaaaaah. OWAIN!

I love his character design, his style. Sure, my fav game is SS and I like Joshua and Ephraim. Even so, they can't compare to someone like this Legend.

and yes, I like him way before he was introduced into Heroes (as Owain) and I was saving up for him so that I can +10 him once he is released (but I failed to do so, needing one last merge).

Report

Damn that's really close for a +10. Not bad at all.

Honestly I like him too. Though, I always liked it when he was honest with himself and others (only seen in a single DLC support in Awakening and in Fates a bit). He's really a cool guy when he's not trying to act like a hero 24/7. But yeah, that hero persona is actually pretty cool, even if in real life I wouldn't be able to take the super long names seriously for far too long XD

Mine is Lute from Sacred Stones. She is totally baddas, a punch on your face. A very intelligent and pretty troll lady who loves studying and being the best.
She is fun, cute and very powerful on her original game (on FEH is very good too).
She can look stupid on a first impression, but she is so funny and I love her supports with Artur and how she trolls him.

Honorable mentions: Vanessa and Innes (FE8), Owain and Lon'qu (FE13), Shanna and Sophia (FE6), Effie and Elise (FE14).

Report

Hmm yeah Lute's always messing with people.

And I don't think she looks stupid, she seems hard to understand. Like, due to her incredible intelligence that it's really hard to communicate properly at times since she can't stop thinking about all the things that could go right and wrong.

That being said, she's my favorite for the "smart girl" category of Fire Emblem. It's not a huge list, but she beats out Miriel by a fair bit.

I'll exclude both Robin and Corrin since that's cheating.
Awakening was the first FE game that I actually finished, I played a bit of Blazing Blade and I really liked Lyn (she's my third favorite btw) but after playing Awakening, one character stole her spot. And then someone came in second.

YES THE FIRST ONE IS LUCINA WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT
I love Lucina. She is the best thing ever made. I even made one save that I married Chrom just to have Lucina as my daughter, even though I hate male Morgan.

AND YES THE SECOND ONE IS FEMALE MORGAN
She's so pretty.

That's all I have to say about her actually.
And since I'm so lucky, I don't have a single Lucina or a Female Morgan. Though when I restarted, I grabbed B!Lucina :)))

Report

God that's hard..
If this was Fate, it would be so much easier to answer for me..

I'd say it's a tie between Eliwood and Lyon.
And you can fill the honorable mentions section with Echoes characters (none are my favorite, but I adore a lot of em)

Lyon is just a fantastic villain. Especially Ephraim route version. Tragic and sympathetic. He's a weak but very skilled man crippled by his position as the prince of a big nation, crushed by having people around him that all seem better than him. In his eyes.
And then the double wammy of finding out Grado is about to undergo a giant natural disaster and having his father to before he's ready.
And becoming a villain as a result to try and save his country. And yes, he's in the wrong. But I think with the dark stone's influence, Lyon's darker aspects were magnified, without him stopping to be Lyon.

As for Eliwood.
I just like how he's very strong of character. He goes through many hardships in the story (instead of it being just backstory) and time after time his optimistic ideals are challanged. But Eliwood always picks himself up and keeps going to do the right thing. A noble knight and loyal friend. I think that he's just very likable.
There are a lot of 'prince like' lords in fire emblem, but I think Eliwood is the most well done.
He is noble at his core.
(plus I relate to his mindset)

Report

Yeah, Eliwood is honestly one of the best "prince lord" characters. Genealogy has a few that are close to him and at that point it's preference. But since he was in the 4th FE I played (and the first one with a "Prince lord" personality in it, I have to say he's the numbah 1.

Report

I'm even more biased, FE7 was my first fire emblem game as a little kid.

I think Leif and Seliph are both good prince like lords but I don't like them that well
Sigurd and Alm are more inbetween the types. More prince like than Hector, Ephraim or Chrom, but more brash than the real princes.

Marth, Roy, Corrin are prince types. But they really don't measure up to Eliwood. (though Roy has potential if they remake FE6)

Report

I kinda disagree with Roy. He's cool but I never liked him (or FE6 much so screw me I guess)

But yeah no, unbiased view and I totally agree with you. Eliwood is the boss. The problem is that Marth is pretty blade (even given his ds remakes), Seliph I find meh, and Sigurd is cool but more of a Camus archetype. same goes for Alm, though he's kinda passive-aggresive.

Report

On the topic of roy..

Really surprised he doesn't have an legendary alt, given how populair he is thx to smash.

I really would expect him to have one, with unique animation that lights his sword on fire.

Report

In a way, I think it's because his actual game isn't super popular. But yeah, I'm semi surprise. Though, depending on todays banner video, I think we may get either Legendary Robin or Legendary Roy with an adaptive damage/bond weapon due to a adaptive damage skill in the games code. So there's hope for him (though I expect he'll get his alt when his game comes around in march.

I played Awakening, Fates, Echoes, FE 8, FE 7 and Path of Radiance, PoR being the last i played, and i just fell in love with Titania, i loved how powerful she was and i love her character too, can't wait to play Radiant Dawn just to see how powerful she can be there.

Report

As of right now Flora. From the first time I saw her in the previews I loved her design (cause Maid) and even if it was small I actually liked her supports and loved to make her good in Fates, although in heroes I don't really like the playstyle they took her but ehh.

Also Nephenee may dethrone Flora right now I'm playing PoR and Neph is definatly coming up from behind.

Also Ayra she was a great character in Geneolgy an ACTUALLY had some character in that game also she's beautiful.

My first game was awakening and I never knew what marriage was and married Frederick although my one and only husband is Brady. The tough guy act is so cute💘😭 I love when guy characters do that.
Honorable mentions: Fe fates: Forrest, Fe4:Arthur

Report

I'm just messing around. I haven't played any of the games in years, like before awakening was released I guess and my memory of a lot of characters and story lines is rather hazy.
I do remember always hoping to find to her though and being very happy when I did.
As for in heroes, Ayra is my favourite. I always liked the myrmidon class best, her art is both excellent and tasteful and her stats and skill set are top drawer.

Report

Damn it’s a tie between Charlotte, Kagero and Selena (SS). Charlotte and Kagero, their crit quotes are perfect with lethality and are bad ass as well. They were my favourite in Revelations, I used them in literally every single battle. Even DLC and Online battles.
*Kagero triggers Lethality
‘This won’t miss!’
*Crits to ensure it hits as crits never miss in Fates..?
*Hits target
*Blood splatters on screen intensifies*

As for Selena, I honestly regretted killing her in that chapter with Tethys and that other guy (forgot his name..). She wasn’t even evil at all, it was all Grado. When I got her from The training tower, I used her in every single battle to cover my grief.

Just hope that Charlotte and Selena make it to Feh.

Out of hundreds of FE characters? I can come up with a list of faves, but not an ABSOLUTE fave.

-Soren from the Radiance games. His backstory makes me feel for him, and he's very interesting.
-Both of the Fates kitsunes. Kaden looks fun to interact with, while his little girl Selkie is just precious.
-Est from MotE and Echoes. As one who knows about being one's little sister, I can relate to her. She was among my faves when I started Heroes, too!
-Gaius from Awakening. Him and that sweet tooth, lol.
-Laurent from Awakening. His non-father supports with the avatar shows that nerdy side of him that is relatable. Easily my favorite Awakening kid.
-Innes from Sacred Stones. Haven't played his game, but from the playthroughs I saw and his Heroes inclusion made me interested in this character.

I enjoyed using Male Morgan the most so I guess it's him. I like so many that it's hard to single one out. Horace does comes to mind when I think favourites but I didn't use him much in Shadow Dragon. He's design's pretty cool. Shout out to Zelgius too bad he's not playable.

Report

Lewyn from Holy Wars. I will not explain the reason becouse spoiler but he is the best lord assistent in FE... and the best father XD

My favourite characters are probably Micaiah and Ranulf. They're not typical choices I imagine, but I find them both to be really interesting and relateable characters. Inigo, Sothe, Ike, Niles, Celica, Keaton, Felicia, and Aversa are all runners up though! Hopefully we get beast units so Ranulf and Keaton can be in FEH at some point.

Report

You know my answer.

Cordelia.
Bet you thought I was going to say Celica? Well, she takes up #2, my favorite is actually Cordelia.
Her entire story and personality are pretty relate-able for me, having strong self-doubt but always wanting to do better.

Report

Anna and Finn. I like Anna's shtick with her numerous sister and her looks.
Finn is simply an amazing character, having dealt with that much hardship and trying his best to raise to children while being on the run, poor fella.

Lyn and Hawkeye.

Hawkeye is a beast.
Lyns story is pretty cool, and she was a beast in my fe7 playthrough.

Report

I really enjoy Innes
I really love his support with Gerik and Tethys telling them to leave and let him face all the enemy because he’s a prince he’s a complete badass I really wanted him to be an armored bow user and was sad when he was a axe flier tbh
