Seeing Past Sylvain's Facade: A Fire Emblem Character Analysis

Weird that this video ended up being longer than my analyses of the three main lords, but that's because I went more in depth on support conversations with this one. Let me know if you like more support conversations or more context within the greater story. And feel free to give any suggestions for future videos. Thanks everyone for watching and subscribe if you haven't already to see more videos from me!

When I first played the Blue Lions, I was kind of unsure as to whether I would like Sylvain or not. Like you, I thought he was gonna be the one note generic anime womanizer. I seriously didn't expect to like him as much as the likes of Claude, Dimitri, Ferdinand, Seteth, Dorothea, Hilda, or others. In fact, I was so touched by his character that I absolutely married him in Silver Snow. It doesn't hurt that he's a good unit as well. People say great night sucks on maddening, but honestly, Great Knight Sylvain is one of the best decisions I've ever made alongside with dark flier Lysithea. Sylvain is one of my favorite characters in all of Fire Emblem, and is a worthy candidate for favorite character in Three Houses.

Ah! It's so nice to see such an in depth discussion about Sylvain. He is one of my favorite characters as well, something that I was surprised to find when I first played BL. I love how so many characters have such excellent character arcs in the game.

I know, I really liked the blue lions route because of how a lot of the houses characters were involved in the white clouds missions like ashe with lonato and sylvain with miklan. It really enhanced their character arcs IMO.

He does discriminate, he doesn’t hit on masculine women.

[@onlookerofthings6029]

He does hit on Felix tho

[@kabukiblooki]

@@onlookerofthings6029 felix is a very feminine lady.

I have watched a number of your videos on FE3H and their characters, and I feel that they are very well thought out. I also feel that your analyses are skillful, insightful, and provocative. I newly subscribed to your videos and I was surprised that so few people have subscribed. I honestly feel that your videos are of higher quality than many that I have seen. I hope you get recognized more expansively for your wonderful videos! Please keep them coming!!

[@ordinaryunits4341]

Thank you so much for your nice comment! As long as people get some insight or enjoyment from my videos I'm happy. And I'll definitely keep it up!

Silver Snow Sylvain is the best😄 Marrying Sylvain is very funny and cute!😊

[@joaocisne556]

do about both Yuri and Sethet later? the final House leader and papa dragon himself

[@ordinaryunits4341]

Yeah I'll definitely start looking in to making a video on them, odds are I'll probably make one on Seteth before Yuri though

While I enjoy his Character, him being a misogynist made him very dangerous and unlikable in the beginning, which can easily turn off people, who had been Humiliated by people like him. He is however smart, capable, gifted and strong, if he can actually commit to it, heck he is also conveniently attractive, so he should not get problems with Woman, if he stops skirtchasing them. Margrave Gautier was right to disown Miklan, he sucks compared to Sylvain.

[@thespacecowboy2343]

@@basilofgoodwishes4138 that comment you made about miklan being trash compared to sylvain. I wasn't expecting something so brutally honest

[@ordinaryunits4341]

I think the way that hey manage to positively subvert our expectations of the character from initial interactions with him is what makes him great. And tbh its clear that while Miklan got dealt a shitty hand in life, he chose to respond to it in the worst way possible. So I would also say that Miklan sucks lol
