Bro fr. I was playing a game one time, and the character was being a bit cold to get sister, and her sister was angry.

[@LukeManiac]

​@BierBart12 "wanna join us?" "yes" "lmao no you don't I'm gonna fight you now" pretty sure FE did this too from what I've heard, which seems extra weird since to my knowledge making choices is a big part of FE games?

[@foreverhelloween3569]

​@Pihsrosnec yooo Fire Emblem mentioned⁉️ I would argue moreso that in FE the choices don't really matter, particularly the dialogue choices. There are moments in some of the games where you can make important decisions through dialogue, but it's not super common. Usually the games stick to the response you chose, although I think in FE Warriors: Three Hopes sometimes the dialogue option you choose will come out differently than it was implied. Still, it doesn't affect much other than character support levels.
