I think I used him for this exact reason lmao, or at least tried to.

IS THIS ACTUALLY A MOTHERFUCKIN JOJO REFERENCE?

honestly i think it's entirely possible that fe1 slipped in some classic anime references, seems plausible at least

Fun fact: the Samson and Arran thing with the feuding villages was the initial inspiration for Fire Emblem Fates. (also if I learned this from someone else in your own topic, my bad, I frequent a lot of FE sites lol)

94. Henry (Awakening)

If Henry just made puns, he'd easily be at least a little higher -- but his whole gimmick is weird death puns and it's one of those traits that feels very anime and not like something a real person would do. Like 80% of the time he's fine because he's either being serious or silly, but the other 20% is just awkward because he's trying to do both.

93. Darros (Shadow Dragon/New Mystery)

https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/fireemblem/images/b/b2/B13-068N_artwork.png/revision/latest?cb=20180629032953

That's basically all there is to Darros since he doesn't really have lines. He's okay. He's a pirate, which is good, but wants to swear off piracy, which is boring.

92. Denning (7)

Denning is almost the highest ranking meme, so let's all give him a round of applause. While Denning is almost entirely a nothing boss who's just funny because of his repeated dialogue, he's also a bit creepy, being essentially a human tape recorder. It's part of the really excellent way FE7 developed its morphs - as an enemy group - over time, showing different variants that retained different aspects of their humanity. Considering how foes like the Risen, Faceless, and Terrors went largely unexplored, I genuinely appreciate it.

91. Samson (Shadow Dragon/New Mystery)

Wrong choice! Arran is more interesting as a sickly former knight trying to die with honor, though IIRC neither one is that great as a unit (you only get one of the two in Shadow Dragon). Samson is cool in New Mystery though, where he serves as Princess Sheema of Gra's bodyguard. You can either validate his high opinion of Marth by working with Sheema, or dash his expectations by killing her, making him turn against you.

Also, the dude actually looks like a hero of past renown, so he's got that going for him over Arran, who kinda looks like a YuGiOh villain.

90. Kieran (9/10)

Nothing against Kieran really, but he's one-note. It also really hurts him that "hot-blooded moron who keeps trying to fight people who are just Not Interested" also describes Mia from the same games, so his one note isn't even that special or unique.

Eh, beats Makalov.

Next time: Voted Most Likely to Choke a Point

well, I chose to roll with Brom instead of ...Gatrie is his name, right?

Because of the sole reason of giving Nephenee someone to talk to. Hes a decent guy, family man, and was in the same Militia as her.

He also has a support with Zihark. So he just tries to bring out the best in all of the shy and stoic characters. He even tries to have Zihark marry one of his daughters

Brom's definitely a good guy and I do like his supports. I should give him another chance if I replay FE9.

100. Corrin (Fates)

https://imgur.com/WL6eUHP

Fates' whole plot evaporates on contact with two characters: Garon and Corrin. Corrin's actually not that terrible conceptually, but she's a poorly executed character: incredibly passive, morally incoherent, and all the blandness of an avatar without anything to make you feel like Corrin is actually representing your thoughts and actions. Congrats, Corrin: you're the Worst Main Character in the series!

99. Brom (9/10)

Eh, Brom's fine. I never found much use for him. He's a good, humble, reliable but kinda bland guy, like a human potato.

98. Saizo (Fates)

Saizo has one (1) good moment and it's his duel with Kotaro, otherwise he's about as generic as they come. Oh, there's a ninja class now? Here's this character, he's a ninja. His personality? Also ninja.

97. Moulder (8)

The only buff cleric in the series? Moulder's basically just a meme with a moustache though.

96. Calill (9/10)

Calill is fairly inconsequential to both games she appears in and I don't think I bothered to use her much. She and Largo are amusing together, at least.

95. Edelgard (Three Houses)

Get it? She's the youngest as in from the newest game. <_<

All we know about Edgelord so far is her design and "the crests are to blame!", but to be fair, it's a good design. Also to be fair, she might already have more dialogue than Tomas or Gareth.

please don't be a shit character please don't be a shit character

Next time: These next rankings are a gamble, but if you like the characters, you might think they're a joke instead.

That's the whole point. If your society requires sanctioned killing to work, then it will always end up with the elite killing the weak. If you look at capital as power beyond just monetary capital, this always ends up with the capitalists on top. This is where "communism can't work" comes from.

the killings must be unsanctioned, got it

It's a pretty easily implied demand when you consider that the past 10,000 times they asked for just one more thing, they kept asking for more.

how often do they get all of their demands exactly met with no compromise or undermining later

like you brought up the ACA but that was not what socialists wanted at all so it hardly seems relevant

edit: should have read Lasa's post first lol WHOOPS

My point is these people believe "the root of the problem they were trying to address" is capitalism itself. So obviously they aren't satisfied with anything less than the complete destruction of free markets and private property.

I guess? Like if the free market and private property really can't coexist with a healthy, financially secure society then we probably should destroy them. But no one's actually *calling for that*, so until you grant them the demands they *actually have* you won't know whether they want more.

this explains so much about why you're so vitriolic and unreasonable about the left, though. you literally think every socialist who goes "gee, maybe the government should take care of the poor a little"


Except every time they get "a little" they never stop. They always demand more. Always. The US government spends trillions of dollars "taking care of the poor" right now. Modern socialists aren't asking for "a little help." They're asking for more help beyond what already exists - which is a hell of a lot.

And I don't recall a single one of them, even the moderate ones, declaring, upon the institution of a new government program, "Great, now we have what we want." Is there ANYONE on the left who thinks Obamacare sufficiently solved the problem of poor people getting health care? Anyone at all not calling for more intervention? Nope. It was just the next step on the path to what they really want - a completely and entirely centrally planned economy.

Weird that people ask for more when you only give them a little of what they want in a way that doesn't actually solve the root problem they were trying to address.

105. Dheginsea (9/10)

You ever walk into a room in a video game and just know there's gonna be a boss fight in there? Dheginsea is that as, like, a character. Does it make sense to fight him? Not really, but you're sure gonna have to do it anyway.

104. Cynthia (Awakening)

https://imgur.com/RiGvfH5

Haha, she dumb.

103. Oboro (Fates)

If anyone in this topic likes Oboro, let me know why because I know she's popular but tbh she's bland as boiled chicken.

102. Frey (Shadow Dragon/New Mystery)

The canon Shadow Dragon prologue sacrifice, teaching the player that sometimes, not everyone can live except he fuckin' lives?? Frey's fine, but FE11 and especially FE12 are inundated with cavaliers, so I've never used him.

101. Cath (6)

Cath is a thief that you can recruit by talking to her three times on three different maps. This is exactly as annoying as it sounds. You might also want to steal her lockpicks while you're at it, because they're more useful than she is.

Next time: The youngest character on the whole list!

Obviously you're not supposed to like Berkut but he's a great villain. Good stuff other than that though.

I felt like all the build-up for him as a villain went nowhere. Even beyond the problems NeoElfboy pointed out, his final scenes just don't make any sense. Why does Berkut accepting Duma affect Rinea at all? Has corruption/possession ever worked like that in FE before??

Lopen posted...
you don't like her over exposure, blatant sex appeal, just don't like yanderes, or whatever else.

This is why I don't like Tharja. Mainly the yandere thing, especially because she's yandere for the player and it's gross and kinda fourth-wall breaking.

110. Peri (Fates)

Peri is one of those characters whose whole personality is some gimmick, and her gimmick is that she's a serial killer. You might think this would be done in a self-aware way. Or at least an interesting way, or a funny one. You might think that.

Anyway, Peri's my Least Favorite FE Character. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

109. Berkut (Echoes)

Oh boy, Berkut. This won't be the last time I say this about an Echoes character: I liked him for, like, 90% of the game. But it's uh really hard to keep liking Berkut by the end of Echoes, and I'll just leave it at that.

Fuck off Berkut I liked Rinea

108. Pelleas (10)

Pelleas is the new king of Daein and he's completely, utterly, helplessly incompetent as ruler, so in addition to owning the libs, he also causes tons of death and suffering throughout Tellius. I think you're supposed to sympathize with him but I don't. Maybe on a replay; it's been a while.

107. Rudolf (Echoes)

Either the smartest or dumbest FE character and given his big plan I'm not sure which.

106. Tharja (Awakening)

She's gonna turn your dick into a frog and she's not even that cute. Y'all are just thirsty.

Next time: Being three sets of lockpicks can't get you to top 100.
