Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance -- Beautiful Princess Elincia

[@alexandrelabrie7790]

Seeing Elincia decked out in her armor at the start of Chapter 26 is one of my favorite Fire Emblem moments. Especially when she says that even if she saves just one life with a stave, it would mean so much to her.

[@tongpoo8985]

And then she becomes a god-beast unit in Radiant Dawn

[@camilaherrera-ramirez2704]

...Ahem! ... Hear me! Brave fighting men of Crimea! Much have you lost in service to your land. Hear me! Beloved friends of the laguz! You, too, have given all for our fair cause. Hear me! My trusted company of old! You men of Greil did see me to this day. I stand before you made of flesh and bone, alive because you risked your lives for me. A word cannot my thanks express in kind... We march today into the jaws of fate; our enemy lies in wait o'er this hill. If on the 'morrow, Ashnard lives no more, my fondest dream is to among you walk and give you each my heartfelt thanks anew. Let not this dream dissolve into dispair! We will defeat the dreaded king of Daein! We will reclaim this land we hold so dear. Lend me your strength! Lend me your weary hearts! Today we make our fate for good and all. One life can make a mark upon this world. One life can move the wheel of history. Be that one life! Fight well! Fight brave! Fight true.

Her own words eventually summoned her to Askr in the first place.

[@joshuacoleman6947]

Ike is such a babe

[@darriusaustin7436]

Best theme for my favorite female character in the series. Her and Ike are truly some of the best characters in the series.

[@plutosupporter7758]

This is the epitome of what a character theme should be, in my opinion. It shows her arc from a sheltered princess who is still seeing how the world works, and once the cello chimes in partway through, it takes on a more assertive tone as she gains confidence. Finally, when it all crescendos into an absolutely regal sweep towards the end, the chords involved have so much power that you are driven to bow before them.

[@mortidragon]

And the version in Radiant Dawn emphasizes how she has grown up and matured since becoming queen at the end of Path of Radiance.

[@LuxAeterna22878]

It's a fucking phenomenal piece. As a composer I dearly hope I will one day create something this beautiful! Not to mention be worthy of a woman so magnificent.

[@twitchthepocket]

ur comment done made me cry now

[@SL-zn9oh]

The scene where this first plays as Elincia introduces herself.. Damn takes me back. I would just sit there and listen to the music

[@EpicLinebeck]

I fucking died when I heard this start up again in RD. One of the best songs in the game IMO

[@Rubberman202]

Elincia is the typically "Fire Embem noble" you see in other Fire Emblem games, usually as the main character. She's polite, understanding, and very caring. The thing is, with this game, there's more pressure on her inheritance and her ability to rule, compared to the other Fire Emblem games.

[@fawfuls]

Oh Rubberman, I keep running into you.

[@XelchanTheBrave]

People might bash me forever...but Elincia is a good character while being a pretty girly princess, AND is a flying healer, AND has an amazing relationship with Ike, AND her theme is really good!

[@joshl1006]

This song always brings me to tears… staying up until the early hours of the morning playing this game and RD…. Fire emblem wasn’t the same after these games

[@omega197]

Console era is truly the real golden age of FE. There are just so many vibes no future fe game afterwards can replicate, like crimea attacks or Eternal bond.

[@warriorpokemon1518]

To be honest, between my love for these two games and some suspicions I have I deeply think Fire Emblem should return to the Tellius world to show us a new continent with new laguz tribes and and how some of the familiar characters are doing.

[@UltimaOdyssey]

Nostalgia ran me over like a freight train while listening to this

[@sandwich_bubbles47]

I love this track a lot, it’s very nostalgic despite just beating the game, it feels classic!!

[@PokemonSoldiers]

America needs Elincia

[@sethmorano1509]

She's from Crimea ,so....

everyone needs elincia

[@fawfuls]

She's too busy making Crimea great again.

[@RoyPlummer1995]

Funny how Ike and Elincia's relationship was developed and then became non existent in Radiant Dawn in order to develop the bromance between Ike and Soren.

[@RoyPlummer1995]

***** Ike and Soren are friends until death.

[@acartonofmilk2145]

+Boarbaque Wishful thinking on your part but no

[@domc8089]

At least Geoffrey and Elincia got married. ^_^

[@antisaltknight887]

Uncle Owain you are putting salt on this wound , dear sir.

[@gmanpizza8181]

Aurelien Genty is it bad I honestly really like Geoffrey and Elincia? I am such a sucker for sworn knight x female lord relationships, like Seth and Eirika as well.

[@Master-Icarus]

0:00 Flowers... flowers everywhere

[@theleftfootedsultan]

Somehow, even with that 30% (or was it 35? Can’t remember now...) growth, Elincia got strength thirteen times by level twenty for me without any abuse at all. Long story short, she was one of my best units. That is... far from a standard experience, obviously, but I appreciated seeing the once-frail princess transform into an absolute wrecking ball, and it really added to her character arc to me.

[@BigDaddy9754]

"Ike is a mercenary. He has no loyalty to any nation unless paid."...That's what the Lords and Thanes of the land would have said. I agree they're meant to be but it's just not good for business or him to be with Elincia. Alas. That is the life of a mercenary,"Live by the Sword, Die by the Sword.".

[@Boom2ickle]

I love this theme, its so pretty and represents all elincia is.

[@justincaelas]

She’s my Favorite Character in Fire Emblem Character of all time 🙏💚 Love this music!

[@clankb2o5]

I have managed, albeit with RNG abuse, to make her my best unit in PoR. I got her HP up to 36 after which I gave her 2 Seraph Robes so she regenerates 5HP per turn IF she loses any at all. I have assigned her Miracle as well so she is incredibly difficult to kill. That, along with maximum movement, Amiti, all stats capped except for Def and Lck and her ability to heal any wound. It was hard work, but the result is astounding :3

[@brozomicki-sothe307]

This is such a beautiful theme

[@milagroscavallaro2204]

Don't be like that, i mean, Ike and Soren are the best of friends since Ike saved Soren from dying from hunger, I think Ike is the only one whom Soren isn't insensitive and cold

[@CuteHimbo]

"Best of friends"... Ike and Soren absolutely are in love.

[@BlueFalconPunch07]

Finally this track is in FEH stage outside of Aether Resort!

[@TehComs]

I'm hearing some bits of Sasha's theme from Advance Wars, and it's got my eyebrows a-twitchin'.

[@hellblademaker]

this song could possibly fit into a ssb soundtrack or could also be a lost track like move out

[@saysaythegreat]

L!Elincia my beloved

[@thekinkshameexpress177]

its a shame that elincia isnt technically considered a lord by intsys

[@CuteHimbo]

But... She is? It's just that some of them are given more favoritism than others (ex : both genders of Corrin getting an alt per year in Heroes or something VS Celica not having a single seasonal).

[@MewtwoFanYT]

I hear Trumpets and Flutes in the background

[@Profecy02]

Elincie IS in brawl. Im not sure how many people knew this but, Elincia is a trophie in Brawl. Its true and I have one. As an unlockable character, there are other characters (Soren) I would have prefered to see, but she's pretty high up on my list.

[@hellblademaker]

@DracoKiller599 i thought about that and it just might work. depends on who comes in. Beast tribe laguz are fast and moderately powerful (like link), birds are very fast but not that powerful (like marth) and dragons are very powerful but very slow (like ike). maybe a trio could form like that, but highly unlikely. i like your thinking about a laguz, but only one.

[@StopTheChainMailSpam]

@XelchanTheBrave I never bothered using her in PoR. But I did in RD cause she was way easier to train.

[@BlazingRaptor]

This song reminds me of Chrono Trigger.

[@Phoenixgamer1220]

+ThePowerfulStaraptor Anything that sounds like Chrono Trigger is more than alright in my book.

[@clankb2o5]

@aceattorney1989 well shes an important character yes, but what attacks should she have, i havent played RD but what about boyd?

[@DustyOldGamer]

I think that she looks better in her armour plating, I also have to say that she has nice treads, and if you level her up she gets superiour firepower; all the things I look for. (The armor plating is spelled like the British spell it, and the majority of the comment won't be funny unless you played Halo 2, Metropolis or seen the opening to it on all the difficulties.)

[@LittleCrazyGamer]

Reminds me a lot of the retro Final Fantasy games' music...but better.

[@lovingmontasoccer]

when i heard this song after elincia waked up, it felt like a embrace of a gorgeous women :D

[@Aeoncalcos91]

Both games were made by Intelligent Systems so it's probably a small musical Easter egg or purely a coincidence.

[@darriusaustin7436]

We need an elincia in 2019.

[@aceattorney1989]

@clankb2o5 Well actually, I prefer her to be an assist trophy instead, what do you think?

[@ikecampbell2221]

Elincia has always been my biggest crush, yet I have never shipped someone so hard with someone else. Radiant Dawn disappointed me with the Support Conversations and how they ruined relationships.

[@aceattorney1989]

I think Elincia should be in Brawl too, or do you think it's a bad idea? Just don't reply any bad comments please, if you think my idea is bad just reply: not really or I don't think so okay.

[@JosephRiveraSantiago0617]

@aceattorney1989 i havent got brawl i own melee, but as a trophy for fire emblem yes

[@safariwisserin]

Hello Sir

[@zelosq]

Sheena Johe Greetings! :3

[@clankb2o5]

@DracoKiller599 O.o what's that supposed to mean?

[@KhaPha]

@Lightningstrike1220 nah I'm just referring to his only two special endings with Ranulf and Soren. Ugh...

[@jackelboy]

I could imagine her as an assist trophy. What i really wanted to see in brawl was The Black Knight as a boss rather than some other stupid bosses like Golem. Rolf or Soren would have been a good assist trophy as well.

[@JJO902]

@dobadobadooo I didn't like either but with all the stuff going on in RD ike preferred to keep to himself. Most of the women their were soldiers in HIS army where he was the general. What the general says goes so he was their boss as well as the boss of every other soldier who worked with/for him.

[@Lightningstrike1220]

@hellblademaker and how do you know that for a fact? There aren't any leaks yet about who's in or out. Where's your resource? post a link otherwise you're just acting foolish.

[@fawfuls]

So cruel that the English translation would ship Ike and Elincia when they never became a thing...

[@Hemlocke3]

@Kittythecookielover I use her, Lucia and Ike mainly with the other Lords. She's a good swords weilder and can heal epically (Maciah is slightly better...but she can't tank!) Elinica is EPICNESS + hot

[@hellblademaker]

i forgot about the shield. i still say that it will be hard for the people who make ssb4 to pick only one laguz as a representative. i agree that ike's moveset REQUIRES timing. it will be interesting when ssb4 comes out and who is in and whose out. i know for a fact that shadow and knuckles are in. i just hope that the black knight and his epic orchestra make it with them

[@CuteHimbo]

This aged like milk.

[@Kittythecookielover]

Oh Elincia's not too useless later on. In my case in RD, Elincia actually turned out STRONGER than Geoffrey. XD

[@R4NK4Z]

sothe would rock in brawl xD but i want roy back

[@kiwikarp9509]

This question probably sounds dumb to people who played the games, but do Ike and Elincia ever get hitched?

[@zelosq]

No. It is assumed by many due to Path of Radiance's Ending, but Radiant Dawn clarifies that they don't see each other as love interests.

[@kiwikarp9509]

Ok, thanks!

[@marcpino2187]

She also probably marries Geoffrey at the end of Radiant Dawn due to the fact that other than Ike he's the only other person she can support and they have a paired ending.

[@cscotch13]

Elincia useless? In my Radiant Dawn she could tank DRAGONS. And kill them in one turn. She could even (albeit barely) hurt Dheginsea.

[@patataking9326]

but she is shit in por

[@heirofcaelos6698]

@@patataking9326 Not really, she's great for healing, just not very useful in combat.

[@teaz3139]

unfortunately, everyone, if you'd actually play the Japanese versions you'd see Ike and Elincia's ship tease never actually existed in the original script. Ike was a stone cold gay in both Japanese scripts and noa censored it in POR and reversed the changes in RD

[@extrahachse3118]

How gay? I thought he was asexual?

[@teaz3139]

***** read this amielleon.dreamwidth.org/237826.html

[@extrahachse3118]

I'm not sure if that was what I was asking for. I don't really need an essay of someone's headcanon. That is an interpretation just as good as any interpretation to me and nothing definitive, only a good read.

[@teaz3139]

...Except she actually gives links and translations of the actual original Japanese script and extended script, which was taken out of the English version?

[@extrahachse3118]

Yeah I've read that, but I already noticed that Ike treats Soren differently in the English Version. I didn't really gain all that much from reading this. I found reading about Kyza's speech pattern more interesting Anyway, I still don't see more in this read than someone explaining his headcanon in detail.

[@clankb2o5]

i think ikes girlfriend should be Mia, shesa good fighter and she has a great personality

[@Crazy420397]

shud have put soren or elincia in brawl to we can use them i dont really care for sothe or micaiah since i hate them

[@risingphoenix86]

In Por she was useless. In RD she was a healing tank.

[@heirofcaelos6698]

Well, a healing tank with a 30% or higher chance of one-rounding 90% of all enemies in the game, but yes.

[@kadencox6497]

3 People ship SorenxIke :/

I don't blame ya, Soren & Ike's support is written so well. A shame there's only a few other gurls Ike talks well with.

[@tehmaimed]

^ this exactly.

[@cobalt1089]

I think a lot more people than that ship it probably because it's p much canon

[@jonathan4554]

I was on board IkexElincia before but when I discovered Geoffrey's existence... Well I think they're a better match and they have a better chemistry.

[@BifronsCandle]

Nah, man. IkexRanulf or nothing.

[@MapleHero120]

@dobadobadooo personally, I like Geoffrey...

[@incrediblecaptain]

Just when I started to hate how important this useless character is, she joined the army to help fight. But in the end, that caused me to hate her more as she was an easy to target and cause a game over.... Regardless, this theme is very nice.

[@clankb2o5]

@DracoKiller599 Ike x Titania?? thats so wrong! XD shes still not over greil.... x Elincia is impossible since she's with Geoffrey. And mia fancies Rhys ;3 But it doesnt matter anyway cuz I don't think Ike is straight. I love how Fire Emblem has boyxboy and girlxgirl also. It's a very Anime-like attitude towards homosexuality IMO n.n
