Ignorance vs Acceptance: FE's Really Good At Using Tropes

The children have depression, make no mistake, but the question is what flavor of depression you want

I really like this (seemingly) new series of taking two characters/support structures and showing how they stand out from one another

[@something1558]

True he's really been cooking good lately

[@sonamy3]

Immortality would suck because humans will make it to like 80 and start saying "all my friends are dead I wish God would take me," so if you were immortal you'd have like 1% of your life where you're chilling and the other 99% of the time you're facing the horrors

[@AmiYumi]

Both "Fire Punch" and to a lesser extent Jojo's pointed out that, at some point, immortality means all life on the planet dying as your sun dies/goes supernova, followed by an eternity of solitude. So, 1% is off by several orders of magnitude.

[@coldeed]

Nah. Being old sucks. If you stayed young you'd just keep meeting new people and carry on like younger/middle aged people

[@LeinRa-Reaction]

​@@coldeedknowing more people means more emotional baggage overtime, even more so when you care a lot of them on personal level it's honestly no surprise why dragons in Archanea degenerated over time and went mad (as seen with Duma and Milla)

[@coldeed]

@@LeinRa-Reaction that's just dragon dementia

Both pronunciations are technically correct tbh. 'Fah' is more akin to the Japanese pronunciation, while Fae (or like Feh/Fay) is how her name is pronounced in English like in Heroes.

[@nevrikx]

Myrrh's whole "Between Monster and Man" stuff is very resonant for me for multiple reasons

[@Winter_Symphony]

At this rate, I consider "tHeRe iS No MeMe, JuSt A tHrEaT" a meme. Also I finally listened and subbed 👍

[@mauricesteel4995]

in Soul Calibur 3, the character Zasalamel is Immortal and is searching for a way to die, but in the next game SC IV, he has a vision of the future, and wishes to be immortal again, in his ending he becomes a millionaire that lives in Los Angeles.

[@maagic2031]

Fae/Fa is another case where I think FE6’s use of the support system was arguably the best in the series. It takes old FE tropes and bland archetypes and really likes to poke at the implications within them. Chad’s “childhood thief” thing and Treck’s “Unimportant Mercenary” bit are also good examples of this. It’s the ideal FE cast to me. Interesting people who seem really really boring.

[@topichu970]

the current patch of the translation actually does have a support viewer

[@katto-wacko]

The first character I could think of that doesn't at least hate immortality is Dio Brando/DIO but maybe he's special because he's a bit of a nutcase.

[@JakoWako]

Wouldn’t Peter Pan be a movie where the characters love immortality?

[@femspaint2911]

You know what, he definitely is! And in the context of the story, Peter never wanting to grow up is seen as, well, childish so thats actually a really interesting point

[@marcoasturias8520]

Considering Peter Pan is an allegory to dead children in the war... I'd say no.

[@addambarcelos]

Fe knows how to hit with the big sad

[@crypto727]

i really like this series of looking deeper at the tropes of fire emblem! But not gonna lie friend, these off the cuff, bullet point talks, not the strongest format. Regardless, I'm happy with what you're doing, and as long as it keeps coming, I'll keep supporting!

[@nevrikx]

I like Myrmyr

[@AstraProc]

Thank you for another great video! You are quite fun to listen to.

[@alllivenofap2499]

i do know a story about "happy" immortals that is "hq holder" it take a different way to say hey try immortal stay with immortal . if you interest you can find "Trope Talk: Immortals" from overly sarcastic productions

[@BBHood217]

I think the latest version of FE6's translation has hacked in a support viewer, so you can just use that if you ever do another FE6 support. And yet even after years of technological progress, they still can't hack in blinking...

[@Crimson-Hat]

idk what the idea is about it being so bad, but I'd love to live 1000 or more years. even if I was 800 years old now I'd still have seen the middle ages, the renaissance era, the birth of all modern technology, the discovery of the new world, the founding of the USA, both world wars, the 1st man on the moon, today, the 1st man on Mars, and who knows how much more. I'm onboard with this.

[@mrmeteor64]

The sandman dc comics shows immortality as great.

Can I please have the name of the track playing during the 15:00 mark (Myrrh/Saleh)

Well, enjoy tales of arise!

[@davidgoldammer348]

4:56 Simply take your knowledge of these depressed children with immense strength and apply that to your nephew Try not to bring any weapons effective against him though

[@PlaystationFreak719]

If you do plan on doing any more of these unscripted videos would you be open to suggestions on what to talk about because I think a video on Fire Emblem's history in the west when it comes to marketing would be pretty interesting

[@usvidragonslayer3091]

Cool video

[@Alice-FE]

The latest FE6 patch on Serenes Forest has a support viewer

[@tylerferguson3193]

Hope you'll have a good day

How old is Mountain Dew again?

[@foggy8298]

@@grigoriiprimushko8687 the Mountain Dew brand originated in 1940, so 83, Turing 84, I guess

[@velvetbutterfly]

⁠@@grigoriiprimushko8687best I could find is Neoseeker has an article about the trading card game where Dew's age is listed as "20s (as of Chapter 1)" but some fans speculate he is as young as 12 if you ask Reddit.

[@eleonorepb4565]

I think Nyna and Deirdre can easily be compared but I guess it could trun out as a tuto about what to do (Nyna an actually devlopped character) and what to avoid (Deirdre as bland as a piece of wood)

[@SinNun-tx5jp]

There's 2 stories I know that have immortal characters but aren't gloomy about it. There's a book about an immortal druid, and he doesn't give much of a shit about anything... It's terrible! He even he had a son in the middle ages and for him, that's even less than a footnote in his life. The book is really bad, if you couldn't tell! The other is Nimona, the movie, idk about the comic. The amount of time that passes is non relevant for her story, she's only ever gloomy about that one blonde bitch of a friend he had once and since apparently, it literally feels as if her betrayal was the only thing that happened to Nimona in one thousand years (or was it ten?). Just as with the druid, it doesn't feel the character has lived a inhumanly long life. I don't think highly of this movie either... She is cute tho and it's well animated, I guess.
