Welcome to Fire Emblem Appreciation Month! For the entirety of the month, we'll celebrate all aspects related to the series in anticipation of its 25th Anniversary!
~
The myriad of interactions among the throngs of characters is arguably my favorite aspect of the series; it's always a joy to cultivate the interrelationships between these soldiers. Since their first appearance, the dialogue allows us to delve into each of the characters involved in a conversation. Some of these reach deep into a character's history while others are light of heart, jumping between the nonsensical or a simple reliever of war's troubles. For today's theme, what is your favorite conversation?
Seth and Eirika - Sacred Stones
There isn't a pairing that is as clichéd as the princess and her knight, yet I can't help but admire Eirika's unwavering concern and blossoming love over her guardian and general, Seth; despite his stone face, she was aware that he was masking his pain from his past injuries, and with one of them a result of protecting her, she felt guilty and began staying close to him. Being the astute knight he is, Seth tried to push her away, believing that he shouldn't get preferential treatment, but the two end up confessing to each other before dedicating themselves to the task at hand. At the end of the game, they were wed, and they received the blessings of all their comrades along with the King and Eirika's brother, Ephraim.
Ike and Soren - Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn
Having grown up in a rough childhood, Soren never had any friends until he met Ike, who was the first person that treated him like a human being. He also didn't know of his true heritage until the Mercenaries successfully escorted the Princess of Crimea into Begnion, where he discovered that he was a Branded. Cherishing his friendship with Ike, he feared rejection once he told the commander who he was, but it turned out his worries was all for naught. From then on, Soren would stand by his dearest friend even when they travel beyond Tellius.
Chrom and Robin (the Avatar) - Summer Scramble
Being an amnesiac, Robin has the blessing (or curse?) of having just about everything being a new experience for them, and they become excited for all the new discoveries they make. However, they suddenly began to ponder deeply about their past that leaves them lost in thought, but Chrom wants to change that during their stay at the Outrealms; the Prince of Ylisse made it his duty to make sure that Robin would have new wonderful memories at the beach resort. Comically, all of his plans and attempts to cheer up the befuddled tactician were hilariously destroyed, but Robin was nonetheless happy with the efforts.
