| Character Analysis - Where Owain Succeeds and Odin Fails Posted: 22 Nov 2020 06:53 AM PST Owain is undoubtedly one of my favourite characters in the series. His hilarious antics and energetic demeanor helped hook me into the series when I first played Awakening over 6 years ago. However, I feel like Owain is rarely given the credit he deserves for being a legitimately well-written character, one with real depth that extends beyond his outward foolishness. Unfortunately, I feel even Intelligent Systems themselves forgot about this side to Owain, with his alternate persona, Odin, failing to capture the true depth of his character. Let's start with Owain in Awakening. At a surface level, he's an extremely fun character. He's chock full of meta-references to past FE titles, and in that sense, he sort of embodies Awakening's whole mission to encapsulate the series as the potential final game (fortunately that didn't end up being the case). Even his personal weapon, Missiletainn, is an amusing reference to Eldigan's holy blade, Mysletainn. Owain's an extremely over the top dude. One of his favourite pastimes is naming weapons and armour to "bestow power upon them". These names tend to be comically cheesy and lengthy. He's also got a knack for storytelling, and he often puts these skills to use for his own personal enjoyment. Being true to these wacky parts of himself is part of why I love Owain. It's all in good fun. He's not bringing harm to anyone by being himself, he's simply trying to live his life to the fullest in the way that's best for him. That said, I also appreciate that Owain knows when to drop the theatrics and act serious for the sake of his friends and family. There is nothing Owain puts above those he cares about. For example, he gets serious when Brady is crying, knowing it's not the appropriate time for his games:
He also talks normally with Kjelle, since he knows she doesn't appreciate the way he talks:
Amusingly, yet all too fittingly, he gets beaten out in the eccentricity department by his own mother:
Speaking of Owain's parents. A great moment of sincerity comes from the support with his father. He speaks solemnly about the time when his father in his timeline died. And that's when he reveals that all of his talk about the blood of heroes in himself wasn't about the Hero-King and First Exalt at all, it was about his mother and father. So sure, Owain gets silly and overdramatic about his blood, but it all comes from a place of deep caring for the parents he tragically lost, and the parents he refuses to lose again:
One of the greatest moments of Owain comes from what's possibly my favourite scene in the entire series. The bridge scene from The Future Past DLC:
I mean okay, he was being a bit overdramatic, but he genuinely meant everything he said. Owain was ready to sacrifice himself for the sake of his friends. He was ready to make his last words that he was happy he could spend his last moments with his friend. That's some heavy stuff. Owain in Awakening is a silly character meant to make you laugh. And make me laugh he does! But on top of that, he's also a deeply heartfelt character who wants nothing but the best for his friends and family. He's an empathetic person, and he knows when to let his guard down. Now let's talk about his second appearance, that of Odin, retainer to Prince Leo of Nohr. Intelligent Systems certainly didn't forget his antics. He's up to them tenfold in this one. He's got plenty of eccentricities and silly names to go around. Upfront I would like to say, I don't think Odin is a bad character. In a vacuum, I like Odin well enough. He's funny, and he has a handful of good moments. But it's when you put him into context, understanding that this is Owain after Awakening, that he sort of falls apart. Inigo matures between Awakening and Fates. Severa matures between Awakening and Fates. Owain...regresses. Let's start with where Odin succeeds, however. His absolute best support by far is with his ol' pal Laslow. He gets up to his usual Owain antics of course, but they end up having a solemn heart to heart about their lives. They talk about their original world they grew up in, as well as the world they left to come to Nohr. They're quite sentimental about it, and Laslow seems somewhat depressed thinking about how those memories are slowly fading. Owain, true to his character, speaks sincerely and tries to cheer him up. He even resorts to using their real names for the one and only time just to see Laslow smile again.
Likewise, his support with Selena is good as well. She too is thinking about their old home, and Owain conjures up a spell to give her good dreams about their past escapades. He gets silly with it, naturally, but in the end, it's all to help Selena, and he succeeds. He has some good moments in his Azura and Ophelia supports too. In his Azura support, he opens up to her a bit and reveals his crippling fear of heights. He does so specifically at a suspension bridge, and briefly alludes to the scene from The Future Past, showing how deeply it scarred him emotionally. However, even this heartfelt moment is quickly interrupted by his insistence on "keeping up his image", making sure he looks cool "for his fans". And in his Ophelia support, there's a touching moment where he talks about the Brand of the Exalt and what it means. He alludes to Lissa and how her Brand never surfaced, and how happy she'd be to see it on Ophelia. Owain's supports with Leo, Charlotte, and Kagero are all alright as well, but consistently the best moments from Odin are when his connections to Awakening come up. Elsewise, he fails to showcase the depth that Owain displayed so well. Let's take his Nyx support for example. He never once breaks character, not when she's clearly not getting his act, not even when he learns about her horrid backstory. In fact, he makes light of it. More than that even, he pretty much ignores his own extremely tragic backstory for...no reason, even when he was fine opening up to Azura at least somewhat about it.
It's actually pretty ironic, the support ends with Nyx telling Odin to be himself. And yes, his theatrics are definitely being himself. But it's only one part of himself. Many of his supports just feel like wasted opportunities. His supports with Camilla and Corrin essentially boil down to the exact same support: nothing more than a naming adventure he gets very emotional over, but he never opens up in any truly sincere manner. In general, I find Odin to be less empathetic than Owain, despite the years passed. On top of that run-in with Nyx, he straight-up lies to both Hinata and Effie in their supports promising to teach Hinata magic and then giving him incomplete spells, and bestowing a fake strength spell on Effie, supposedly to get back at her for her calling him weird. As an overall running theme in his supports, he's extremely full of himself. He refers to himself as "Odin" a lot. While it wasn't completely unheard of for Owain to call himself "Owain Dark", it was really quite rare, only in moments of extreme dramatics. Odin however seems to just like hearing the sound of his own name. That said, his supports as a whole still rightfully revolves around him helping his peers. This part is peak Owain. However, he's always "in character" so to speak. Not only that, but he also gets oddly whiny and moody often. This isn't new for him, a key example being his support with Severa in Awakening, but this isn't something that should become a more common occurrence now that time has passed. Not when Inigo and Severa have both emotionally matured. Odin doesn't feel like a more mature Owain in the same way Laslow and Selena feel like more mature Inigo and Severa. Odin feels like Intelligent Systems remembered Owain for his zany antics, and went all-in on that singular aspect of him, oftentimes forgoing any other aspect of his personality. Odin is a good character. His supports make me laugh and he's kindhearted, making him hard to hate. But compared to Owain, Odin is incredibly disappointing, and the lack of development or even consistency from Owain sours Odin as a whole for me. While Owain remains one of my favourite characters in the series, Odin will always be the character of great missed potential. [link] [comments] | ||
| I may need some help with a decision I'm mulling over. What should I do? Posted: 22 Nov 2020 01:41 PM PST So I'm doing a homecoming tour with my friends and myself, after some shady guys tried to oust me from the territory, and my political ally and good friend is hosting a celebratory cook out, he's got a long mane of straight red hair, eyes with a glare cold as ice. But he seems like a trustworthy guy and helped me out a bit. His younger brother who is in my envoy is protesting heavily and doesn't want to go and warning people not to, and that it will be a mistake. It's a homecoming after being away for four long and stressful years, do you think there'd be a risk like what is being speculated? My friend in the church said it would be unwise but I don't really see an issue so far. It would be very disrespectful to neglect his invitation and dishonorable. I think he's a good man and I know he's a good host. [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 22 Nov 2020 11:17 AM PST Larcei, daughter of Ayra, and younger twin of Scáthach. One of my personal favourite characters in Genealogy. However, I feel she gets unfairly overlooked and brushed off as being nothing more than Ayra 2.0. While I think most of the Gen 2 cast is underappreciated (I generally prefer them to Gen 1), Larcei gets it even worse than most by virtue of being nearly identical to Ayra. I feel that the intent behind this design choice often goes overlooked. In her very first line, you can see that she's inherited more than her mother's looks, as she shares Ayra's brashness as well.
She's strong-willed and firm in her beliefs, ready to take on the world by herself if she has to. She believes in her own strength and will stop at nothing to fight against the injustices of the world. She also has no interest in the attention of (most) men, but unfortunately for her, taking after her mother's looks, she's got people left and right trying to get into her pants...er, her dress? That said unlike some other characters in the series, she doesn't outright hate men, she simply doesn't have time for their nonsense. This can be seen in her recruitment conversations with Iucharba and Iuchar. With Iucharba, he doesn't try to make any advances, and Larcei is grateful for his assistance to their cause:
Iuchar on the other hand rushes immediately into flirting with her, which Larcei is not having in the slightest:
Hilariously, this can also be seen in the Lost Bloodlines Awakening DLC, where Inigo also tries to hit on her, and she is not having it:
Unlike her twin brother, Larcei firmly believes that Ayra is alive, and won't hear anything to the contrary.
Scáthach mentions how Larcei is just like how Ayra was described to them by Shannan. I really like the poeticness of this. She's desperately trying to live up to this legend that is her mother, Ayra, despite not knowing her at all. Like if she can be just like her mother was, that brings them a little closer. And she does live up to her, but tragically she's unable to confirm that for herself. Only you the player can see how much like her mother she's become. However on top of Shannan's recounting of her mother, if Finn is Larcei's father he will also confirm how similar Larcei is to Ayra (although only on a surface level).
All of her lover conversations in the final chapter reveal that she does have a bit of a mushy side for the person she loves. She even lets herself get abnormally vulnerable with Seliph, opening up to him about how she's feeling a little scared, which even Seliph points out is unusual for her. It could be said that her brazen attitude isn't all-natural, and is at least partly an act she puts on to imitate her mother as close as possible. Not to say that she isn't hot-headed and ready to fight for her beliefs, just that beneath that exterior there is a part of her that is still unsure of herself. Overall, Larcei has a design, personality, and story that all come together to create a character I really enjoy. Like a lot of Gen 2 characters, it's the implications of their relationships with their parents, alive or dead, the relationships with their friends and family, and their place in the world and the war they find themselves in that make them fascinating characters to think about. Yes, Larcei is very similar to Ayra, but this is an explicit choice that forms her story and character into something all its own. To end things off, I would like to share my favourite Cipher art for Larcei, which is this card by kawasumi. It really sums up Larcei brilliantly, a young woman who has grown to live up to the legend of her lost mother, confident in her abilities and ready to strike down whatever stands in her way.

| What are the smallest changes to a unit that could lead to the biggest increases in usefulness? Posted: 22 Nov 2020 08:22 AM PST I'm replaying fe7 again, and because I'm slowly trying to complete the support log over multiple playthroughs that means I have to once again drag Bartre's worthless ass to level 5 promoted so I can get Karla and her supports. I can't help but think about how much easier it would be if he started with just one more point of speed... His base speed of 3 means he can't double any of the numerous 0 speed lance enemies that the earlygame is full of, and sometimes that one 45% chance speed proc I need just refuses to come through. What units would be so much better with just one tiny little change? It can be a single stat point to hit a benchmark, a higher weapon rank to let them use a weapon that would help them immensely, or even something as trivial as being force deployed one square closer to the objective in their starting chapter.
