What fucking weird-ass tumblrtry is this that made Sakura jaundiced?
Making characters fat and putting burqas on them and shit is one thing but this is just distasteful and offensive.
We should really consider a Fire Emblem thread. With the squid girls migrating to their own thread there's barely anything else left in the Nintendo thread.
Was the /u/ couple removed in the western version?
>>2059778
It's still there. However in the Japanese version the romance conversation was different whether you played as a FeMC or MaleMC, while in the Western version it's the same.
>>2059716
Well, I'm sure Nintendo will soon release some other game with relevant /u/ content.
By which I mean, yeah, this is probably a Fire Emblem thread for the foreseeable future.
>>2059716
Nah. Splatoon thread right now is /vg/ expats, you don't want to be anywhere near that. Fire Emblem is gonna be the most represented regardless of recent releases simply because it's one of the rare Nintendo franchises that has multiple girls interacting with each other.
Hinoka and Camilla are nee-san while Sakura and Elise are imouto, but which one is Azura?I know that technically she's Corrin's cousin.
>>2060082
I think they're the same age, so I don't know if there's really a term to use there.I have to say I found it REALLY WEIRD that Azura definitely seems to be presented as Corrin's true love if you're not going by supports and yet she is the ONLY character in the game that's actually a blood relative of Corrin after that big to-do about if you were going to side with your biological or adoptive family.
>>2059794
>Well, I'm sure Nintendo will soon release some other game with relevant /u/ content.
If Nintendo actually does make female Link option for Zelda U I hope that motivates the Japanese to draw lots of yuri
>>2060366
Even in the localized version, the /u/ subtext between Corrin and Azura is unbelievable. Pretty sure all the pseudo incestand real incestwere intentional.Also, how are Corrin and Azura related, again? I don't even remember. I mean they're cousins but what's the story behind that?
>>2060374Their mothers were sisters, and princesses of Valla, iirc. They both fled to the normal world, Arete became part of Garon's harem and Mikoto became Sumeragi's mistress and later his wife.
I have wondered about that reveal. I mean, if the Hoshidans are just as much an adoptive family as the Nohrians, doesn't that kinda mean by default your Nohrian family is your REAL family because they raised you? You're not any more related to Hinoka than you are to Camilla, (not that you'd know it until you get it into your head to boink the woman you are told is your biological sister,) so the Hoshidans don't really have nature or nurture on their side.
>>2060385
Yeah. That's what I thought was hilarious when I first played Birthright and I married Ryoma. Because he gives that whole talk of "yeah, turns out we're not actually related by blood so it's cool if we bang". Because then...If you aren't related by blood to their your Nohr nor your Hoshido siblings, then that means Hoshido has zero claim on you.
All I know is I'm Nohrian scum all the way.
>>2060385
>>2060406
The timeline is not clear to me, but if I understand right Corrin still lived a few years in the Hoshido family. She was a newborn when Mikoto met Sumeragi, and by the time she was kidnapped by Nohr her two younger step-siblings were born, their mother died, and Sumeragi had remarried. Though Corrin does say that she has no memory of her time in Hoshido, which I guess would put her kidnapping at around age 5 at the latest.
>>2060412
>around age 5 at the latest.
I think the thing that kinda puts a hole in this theory is that Sakura says she remembered that event, meaning she had to be old enough to be affected (re: traumatized) by it. And she's quite a bit younger than Corrin, so the latter being 5 would put Sakura at an age where she would've been barely able to comprehend anything.
>>2060418
Memory is a funny thing sometimes. Does Sakura truly remembers the event or does she remember the events other recounted to her along the years? In the same way, has Corrin forgotten everything of her Hoshidan life because she was too young to remember or because Sumeragi's death and her subsequent kidnapping traumatised her? At least one of them remembers thing they shouldn't or forgot things they should remember.
The timeline being fuzzy was probably a conscious choice, to give the player a bit of freedom regarding Corrin's age.

>>2060788
Makes sense the shrine maiden and troubadour would bring peace
>>2060794
The Western market is usually between half and three quarters of total sales for any mainstream Japanese game, and in general the more the game sells the larger the Western market's share will be. A company like Nintendo cannot afford to ignore the Western market and they know it. Why do you think we even have gay marriage in Fire Emblem in the first place?
>>2060856
Um I agree with you to a point but you lost me with the gay marriage bit are you arguing it as Western market is why it sis in FE at all?
>>2060986
One of Awakening's criticisms was the marriage system being completely hetero-based. That, combined with the ones about Tomodachi Life was likely one reason why IS implemented the gay options in Fates.
>>2060794
Yes, Nintendo is very open about how important western reception is for their franchises, especially Zelda. It's not some ultra-niche title on the Vita where the audience is already into weeb stuff. It's fucking Zelda.

Azura is Corrin's social equivalent, since she's ostensibly the Nohr princess kidnapped and raised by Hoshidans.
You can't really peg it either, since their dynamic changes depending on the route. It's not necessarily equivalent to say, Chrom and Robin, where Chrom is the assertive, macho, sovereign and aggressive general & frontline captain, divided between disillusionment and innate gallantry, who manifests his Naga blood bond into physical prowess, while Robin is the more reserved and logical tactician(duh), with no real longterm hangups, and wields their Grima blood bond mostly through magic(using magic in cutscenes and Ignis always incorporating magic). The female Robin is noticeably more eccentric when their supports differ.
In all routes, Azura plays the "FE strategist" in the sense that she's the one that the player character talks to, to get their bearings on where to proceed on the plot. If there wasn't a designated tactician character, it'd usually be the starter pre-promote knight.
But to that end, Corrin's personality differs quite a bit depending on the route. Azura has to spend a lot of scenes slapping some motivation into Conquest!Corrin, while the more determined and resolute Birthright!Corrin is considerably less reliant on her except when it becomes a task only Azura can do(e.g. magic singing shit). Then you get to Revelations and she's basically wikipedia, half trying to coordinate their crazy-ass plan, half explaining the batshit insane magic shenanigans involving the invisible kingdom.
Both fight with a lot of acrobatics and agility rather than the (still very fast) hammering power swings of Ike or Chrom, and both manifest magic in their abilities in some way.
They're not really prince/princess or anything like that. They're deliberately thematically similar to each other and occupy similar social standings and dynamics. The only thing more selfcest-y are Bond Units.
>>2061105
I love you onee-sama. And I love these two. Azura and female Corrin are so perfect for each other it hurts.
>>2061439
I am planning to buy the first game in this series or can i just go for the latest?
>>2061841
If you want to start out, best to go with one of the 3DS entries, which there are also a bunch of demos for. EO4 is generally the easiest, but EOU1 and EOU2(which are remakes of the first and second games in the series) have a lot of quality-of-life/gameplay/gameflow improvements implemented in the series since Persona Q(the Persona-themed Etrian Odyssey).
So if you want to experience the first one in the series, EOU1 is a safe bet, or if you just want a jumping on point, EO4 is also a viable choice.

Can't be the only one who is dissapointed that the new Pokemon protag is on the more younger side compared to the X/Y one. Or at least that one definitely didn't look like she was 10 years old.
>>2066845
What makes you think she's younger? She could be around the same age, only difference is that Rooster girl is wearing a loose shirt because of the weather.
>>2066846
Because the male character looks like a baby compared to the X/Y male one. Not exactly rocket science to apply that to the female characters as well.

Still no lesbian Link?
>>2072280
Not in the new one, no. They came up with some bullshit excuse saying that you would have to play as Zelda if you wanted to play as a girl and if you played as Zelda, Link would have nothing to do. Oh well, maybe next game in 6 years.
>>2072307
If it's a resurrected previous Link, that presumably would preclude a female version.

>>2072307
And then they followed up with another bullshit excuse how making Link a girl would mess up the balance of the tri-force, kek.
>>2072336
>1:15 in Selena/FCorrin support
>"from friend to friend"
>>2072389
I think the "Triforce balance" part was just in relation to the "what would Link do" part, which only shows that they weren't trying that hard. What was Zelda doing for most of OoT? Pretending to be a ninja dude and helping out in the shadows. In WW, she didn't even know she was Zelda for half the game. In plenty of others, she isn't even awake or animate for most of the game. Did none of that plunge the balance of the Triforce into chaos? Not really, because that's Ganon's job. Link could've been doing any of that shit if they were going that route.
Basically, they weren't actually entertaining the idea of a female Link to begin with, just of a female player character, and they did it in a way that backed them into a corner that didn't actually exist, so they gave up. I'm not really mad that we won't have girl Link in the new game, but I wish we could stop getting these asinine excuses when Nintendo games leave shit out these days.
>>2072505
Okay, turns out they did specifically say that Link being female would mess things up, which makes even less sense. Oh well.
>>2072512
>“You know there’s the idea of the Triforce in the Zelda games we make. The Triforce is made up of Princess Zelda, Ganon and Link. Princess Zelda is obviously female. If we made Link a female we thought that would mess with the balance of the Triforce. That’s why we decided not to do it.”
So...
Two male bearers and a girl: Triforce in harmony, all is well
Two female bearers and a guy: Balance disrupted, chaos stalks the land, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria
Really, why not just say he thinks it would affect the character's identity too much? That at least is coherent, even if I disagree.
Although with that said, when it comes to what makes Link's identity distinct from other heroes, I'd put "left-handed" down way before "male", and it's apparently fine to change that because the attack button is on the right hand side of the controller - you know, exactly like it has been in every single other game.
>>2062179
Yup Yup Incredibly so and it irks me how little attention they got
>>2072530
>>2072531
>>2072532
>>2072533
>>2072505
>>2072524
When will Nintendo realize that trying to justify themselves on this kind of stuff only results in dugging themselves into a deeper hole? It happened with Tomodachi Life and now it happens with that too. People who don't care about this kind of stuff don't care about the excuses either, and people who do care about that kind of stuff have been told all kind of excuses for years and are way past the point where they're willing to accept any of them.
>>2072546
I'd be still disappointed but happy to accept a "No, we don't think that would work for Link's identity". Just don't pretend you'd love to but were backed into a corner by the necessities of the story - or if you are going to, at least come up with a believable lie.
>>2072280
Nah but what we got was pretty awesome anyway.
>>2072336
That the hack?
>>2072524
>I'd put "left-handed" down way before "male"
I'd put "green tunic" way down before "male" and it seems his clothes are now fully customizable and all the promo material features blue.
Considering all the borderline torture porn that's possible in BotW I'm not at all surprised they didn't make Link female.
Well, their new IP Ever Oasis lets you play as a qt brown girl, and it's got townbuilding and shit. All it needs is some choice interaction between MC and the female characters. At least the ones that aren't some kind of animal-human furry hybrid thing.
>>2072629
i should tell you thats not a boy LOL
ooops I meant girl
>>2072524
This seems particularly odd since Hyrule Warriors seemed to indicate that some of Link's reincarnations are female.
Which, y'know, would make sense with reincarnation and all.
I'm honestly kind of surprised they didn't go the pokemon route and let you pick if Link was a boy or a girl. It's not like Link's gender has ANY impact on the story 90% of the time.
>>2072720
Linkle isn't a Link
>>2072847
Not that poster, but she thinks she is, so that means at the very least there's nothing about how the hero's reincarnation works that she's aware of that would prevent it.
>>2072336
Severa's is the best of those. I think the voices of the other two being terribly off is part of it though.
>>2072720
Yeah, a good chunk of people who like Zelda and want female Link is using this reasoning.
But this isn't the first time Nintendo makes these kind of dumb comments regarding the ability to play as girls in the Zelda series.
Let's not forget about how in Tri-Force Heroes there are 3 Links, out of which 2 aren't THE Link. Yet all of them are guys and their reasoning was basically "Well, the prophecy called for heroes, so you can't choose gender with this kind of background".
I'd honestly say between all of this them creating Linkle only to conclude her story with "no, she isn't the hero" is like a slap in the face, but hey, that's Nintendo for you.
I'd be appeased if the next FE allows me to gay marry more than 1 girl (preferably 5+)
>>2072975
Officially in Tri Force Heroes, you are playing as link and your friends are fake.
This is simultaneously true for all of you.tfw I never beat it because I wanted to play mutliplayer with friends and everyone I knew lost interest before I beat it
