    The support system has spoiled me

    Posted: 04 Jan 2021 02:15 PM PST

    As someone that didn't grow up with video games, I have a lot of catching up to do when it comes to JRPGs. I played Dragon Quest XI last year and I'm currently working on Final Fantasy 7. But as I've been playing these games and others, I keep coming back to the same criticism: I love this cast, why aren't there more scenes of them interacting one-on-one?

    And it just hit me that FE supports might be the reason why.

    Not all supports are great, or even good (lookin' at you, Ogier/Gwendy C), but the fact that these games have massive armies and still take the time to let some of them talk to each other is something I really admire. And I've realized I've begun to expect that in other JRPGs, even if the storytelling style doesn't easily allow for it. There's just something special about seeing two individuals interact, even if they're just talking about food or the weather (except for walking practice...god I hate that support). It's something that I think more character-driven narratives need, and something I wasn't expected to be as attached to as I am.

    Anyway, what do you think? Do you think more JRPGs could use support-like conversations? What games come close to that system? I'd love to hear other perspectives! :)

    The elephant in the room: beorc and laguz lifespan inequality

    Posted: 04 Jan 2021 12:41 PM PST

    I originally posted this on serenesforest but Im wondering what reddit has to say as well.

    One element I have seen in the tellius games that I believe needs to be further addressed is the the unequal lifespans between Beorc and Laguz. I believe that this is an absolutely HUGE plot detail which has a lot of thematic potential. As the games make somewhat clear, Beorc have a lifespan similar to that of humans as we know them. For Laguz and Branded it is less clear, but what we do know is that they live considerably longer than Beorc, with individuals like Janaff looking like teenagers despite being over a century old. The oldest we know of is Dheginsea, who is over a thousand years old but looks to be about 60 and Lehran, who is also over a thousand but looks in his 20s. I believe that this issue is far more important to Tellius and it's people than the games give them credit for and I believe a lot more can be done to address it.

    I think that the games do an inadequate job at addressing the impact that this problem would have on the beorc and laguz, as it only seems to get passing references like "oh yeah, as a branded I age slower than a normal beorc and that's how they can tell i'm a branded and discriminate against me" or "you're only 20? Why are the Beorc sending babies into battle?" I believe that this issue has massive consequences for the relationship between the Beorc and the Laguz as a whole as well as how the characters see themselves and others. Consider this, how would you feel if you only lived to be about 80 years old, but yet there is another race of humans that lives to be over a thousand? how would you feel? Cheated? Envious? It honestly seems like the Beorc were screwed over by the Goddess, and they likely hate the Laguz because of it, seeing them as a favorite sibling blessed with greater strength and a longer lifespan. Then we arrive at the Laguz. How would you feel if you were among the race that lived to be a thousand years old? How would you see the people who only lived to be 80? you would see them be born, grow old, and die while you remained young for decades? How would you see them? How would you value their lives? Indeed, I believe the Lifespan issue to be one of the core reasons behind the rift between the Beorc and Laguz, and one that is rarely talked about in the games.

    Next we arrive to how it affects the story and the characters we know. Frankly, I find the Idea of Muarim outliving tormod by decades to be absolutely heartbreaking, as well as Soren outliving Ike. This is a truly terrible situation to be stuck in for a Laguz or a Branded, as they have to watch as the ones they love grow old and die while they remain young. How would this issue affect the relationships between these characters? How would the Beorc characters we know come to terms with their accelerated mortality?

    From a biological standpoint, this lifespan inequality makes no sense. As explained in Radiant Dawn, Beorc and Laguz share a common ancestor, the primordial Zunanma race. The game does not describe how long the Zunanma live, but I would assume that they live about as long as modern Laguz. So where did this inequality come from? As is well known in the Scientific community, Chimpanzees and Humans share a common ancestor. In captivity, chimpanzees can live up to 60 years, not quite as long as humans, but only about 20-30 years off. Applying Beorc-Laguz biology to this issue brings us something absolutely ludicrous. Considering that the average dragon laguz would live around a thousand years give or take, and a Beorc living at a max of 100, this would make it so dragon laguz live at least 10 times as long as a normal human. If we applied this to primate biology, this would mean that while a human would live to be 100, a chimpanzee would live to be at most 10 years old! As old as a damn sheep! The only thing that could give this lifespan inequality any semblance of sense is magic. If so, then what? What kind of magic is keeping the Laguz alive this long? Why does it exist for the Laguz and not for the Beorc? Do the Laguz have some kind of divine blessing that the Beorc don't have? Are the Beorc cursed? If so, what did they do to deserve it?

    So why don't the Beorc live as long as the Laguz? What impact does this have on Tellius? How exactly does Laguz aging work? How can this issue be addressed? Is there any lore-friendly way to extend the lifespan of the Beorc (without making it look like a bad fanfiction)? Is it possible that the people Tellius would or could find the cure to beorc aging shortly after the events of Radiant dawn? Could beorc mortality be a theme that could be expanded upon in a sequel?

    Theory about Claude's friendship speech in Verdant Wind

    Posted: 04 Jan 2021 06:15 PM PST

    During the final battle, Claude makes this speech, but I'm starting to think it was also meant to be a secret message to defeat Nemesis:

    Yet we have the strength to scale the walls between us, (Move close to him)

    to reach out our hands in friendship, (Reach for your sword)

    so we can open our true hearts to one another! (This will give an opening to his chest)

    That's how we win!

    Were there any discussions on Ionius IX, Edelgard's father? I'm looking at his wiki page and some things add up. Theory on his attempt at a power grab and the Insurrection of the Seven.

    Posted: 04 Jan 2021 02:04 PM PST

    Ok so, I've been looking at the Insurrection of the Seven and the causes and effects.

    Summary

    During his reign, Ionius tried to centralize power to himself and the seat of Emperor. There is no recorded year when it began. However, it has been noted that in 1167, House Hyrm tried to defect to the Leicester Alliance in opposition. House Ordelia of the Alliance tried to help, but their rebellion failed.

    The empire killed members of the Ordelia family and instated Imperial officials. Some of these were mages were from TWSITD, who began experiments on Ordelia, leading to Lysithea gaining 2 Crests. Lysithea was 2 years old when the experimentation began.

    Hyrm's main bloodline was essentially wiped out then an adoptee inherited the title of Viscount Hyrm. This was Jeritza.

    In 1711, the Seven Houses of Adrestia (Aegir, Gerth, Bergliez, Hevring, Varley, Vestra, and Arundel) begin a coup, turning into the Insurrection.

    The students or the people we know of these houses are:

    • Aegir - Ferdinand [Prime Minister]

    • Gerth - None. It is noted that while implicit, it remained distant from the other Houses. [Ministry of Exterior (Diplomacy, foreign relations, etc.)]

    • Bergliez - Caspar [Military Affairs]

    • Hevring - Lindhart [Domestic Affairs]

    • Varley - Bernadetta. It is noted that there has been some friction between the Empire and the Church of Seiros, so they turned inward, becoming more involved with judiciary stuff. They fight with the Ministry of Interior [Minister of Religion -> Judiciary]

    • Vestra - Hubert [Dark tasks of the Empire, Coordinating the Emperor's periphery affairs like ceremonies and rituals, etc.]

    • Arundel - Volkhard [Unkown role within the Empire, was given power since Anselma married Ionius IX]

    When the Insurrection is done in 1171, Ionius lost all of his power, becoming a puppet, while Aegir is the one holding power. With that, TWSITD began taking Ionius's children for experimentation, extending the experimentation of Ordelia.

    Theory

    From all this, would it be a stretch that Ionius saw TWSITD corrupting some of the nobles, notably Aegir? Aegir was the one who took over Hyrm and basically Ordelia too. None of the nobles had any idea about TWSITD, but since the Emperor knew the truth about the War of Heroes, Ionius had to do something.

    He tried to stop TWSITD from spreading, but their hold on some of the Houses was too strong. Edelgard did strip some Houses of their power, starting the centralization of power again when she became Emperor. One of these Houses was Aegir.

    Of course, because of Ionius's aggressive takeover, or what seemed to aggressive, some of the Houses either tried to defect (Hyrm) or became part of the Insurrection. Gerth seems to be this, not knowing about the TWSITD but still took part in the Insurrection.

    This might have also been the plan for Cornelia in Faerghus, but I guess they thought that killing Lambert in Duscur was easier to do.

    Edit:

    Ok so my theory doesn't really work since the emperor didn't know about TWISTD; they only know that the Heroes' Relics were man-made and that Nemesis falling wasn't the reason Saint Seiros fought.

    There's also a bit in Hanneman and Hubert's supports that Ionius wanted to consolidate to weaken his consorts and their power. As for why he wanted to do so, there were no info. This was found in the JP version.

    As for the Insurrection, it was Seven because it wasn't Arundel that was counted, it was Hyrm. Hyrm basically started it, and the rest followed.

    As for the Hyrm territories, yes, Aegir did take over, but Arundel controlled by Thales (or was Thales) overtaxed, forced people to be soldiers, etc. Essentially, all the bad shit happened because Arundel/Thales did it, and then blamed it on Aegir. This can be found in Ferdinand and Lysithea's paralogue post-battle.

    My theory holds less water now. I think that's how the term goes.
