While this would prevent Chrom's other kids from being born in this timeline, their in-game versions should still be fine because Awakening operates on parallel universe time travel rules.

Morgan might be hosed, though, since it's unclear what timeline he actually originates from.

Its ambiguous as gently caress. Most of Morgan's supports with the other kids imply they never met, but Morgan's sibling support contradicts the hell out of that since even if its not the same Morgan there still should have been one running around. Its made even more complicated if Morgan is Lucina's brother since her unique sibling support takes precedence and suddenly Morgan is explicitly remembering a shared history in the doomed future and being a gently caress up with the Falchion.

Basically they wrote themselves into a corner with Morgan and made no real attempt to make any of the writing around them consistent. Its especially evident if you marry Tharja and Robin which produces supports (Tharja/Noire, Noire/Robin, Noire/Morgan, Tharja/Morgan) that actively contradict each other because none of their poo poo actually meshes.

Simple solution: Female Robin is canon.

RobinxChrom makes the most sense to be honest. Even besides fixing the contradictory supports problem, It just makes the story work better. Robin and Chrom aren't forgoing their spouses for each other, The scene where Lucina tries to kill Robin works better, and it gives a nice redeemed by love angle for the whole "Robins actually an evil Dragon" plot point. Even makes the final bookend cutscene seem romantic.

Morgan's still a huge mess since no one knows who he is except he's Lucina's little brother and totally remembers a bunch of stuff now? Except he still has no idea who the gently caress Chrom is?

Honestly they should have just commited to to Morgan explicitly being from another timeline/reality or just not let Robin marry the kids so they could be from the same future as everyone else. The halfway bullshit with the sibling supports means it makes no sense unless you marry a kid or one of the Robin sexual characters.

One of those situations makes the guy who Chrom already sees as a brother his actual brother-in-law. The other makes him Chrom’s son-in-law. He also becomes a grandfather before he’s 25.

Remember how Lucina & Owain could marry and the localization tried to smooth that over by labeling them "companions"

Does Morgan/Owain do the same thing if Morgan is Lucina's daughter

Owain marries someone in Fates, and Corrin marries their kid. Lissa is now a great-grandma.

Owain's not in the line of succession, so it's fine.

I forgot abotu the mark of the exalt being the important factor. That puts Owain over Lissa, actually, because her's never showed up but his did.

I think that was a surprisingly low-key character point, I can't remember it coming up very often (at all?) in Lissa's supports.

Chrom has four kids if he didn't marry the village maiden, so that means he'd be sixth at best, and even lower if Robin married Emm, Lu, or Chrom's other kid. Not out of the line, but a staggering amount would need to go wrong for Owain to be in serious consideration.

Remember there are two Lucinas, two Siblings and hell two Owains running around. We're even specifically talking about the one who came back from the future and later fucks off to Fateslandia while there is also a baby Owain hanging out in Ylisse with Lissa


The endings imply all the future kids end up leaving Ylisse anyways and almost all travel to parts unknown which is probably good so they don't gently caress over their younger selves. Which could also lead to an insane crisis of succession between descendants of both Lucina's claiming to be the legitimate heir to the throne.

Fair enough--I did jump in partway without making extra sure of what I was reading. With the exception of the party in Awakening I'd question whether anyone would take a claim of descent from one of thr future kids as valid, though. Same issue with Emm, but it does seem it's more based on some form of populism anyway, so. :v:

Blue hair, wields Falchion, has the mark of the exalt. When someone's got that much proof they've got the blood of the royal line in their veins, it makes the less believable parts of the story sell easier.

And the line seems to be basic oldest direct heir stuff, from what we see in the game. Chrom's dad dies, so his oldest daughter takes the throne. She dies (or "dies"), and his son steps up. And when he dies, Lissa acts as regent until Lucina's of age. All pretty by the books.

Oct 31, 2011

A silly little mouse!
1: no real organized religion besides something vaguely in the vein of "Naga good"
2: Destroy two churches for the price of one! But they're replaced with a new one so only a net 1 loss.
3: Same as 1
4 and 5: A "good" church and "bad" church destroy and replace each other multiple times over the course of the story and backstory. Going bad>good>bad>good. So a net 1 plus.
6 and 7: Church is good and stays in power.
8: Church is good and stays in power.
9: Church is kinda eh but stays in power until...
10: Church is evil and is destroyed.
11: Remake
12: Remake
13: Good Church remains even though its god told them she's not actually a god, Evil Church destroyed.
14: Worship of twelve Dragons remains save Annakos. So approx. 8% loss
15:Remake

Someone can double check my math but I think this means Fire Emblem is a net pro-religion series.
