There's also the fact that Byleth is the only "avatar" to have a canonical birthday, which is 9/20, the day Sitri died of childbirth as stated in Jeralt's diary. Us deciding Byleth's birthday at the start can easily be seen as Jeralt lying to them about their birth, especially since they thought it was the case during the convo with him as chapter 8 ended.
I dunno, I don't think that's a good way to explain it, because the discrepancy is pretty big if it's Jeralt lying to them- what if Byleth finds out and decides to start digging deeper? I think it might've been Sothis's memories bleeding into Byleth's, instead.
@@ImFangzBroJeralt lying about Byleth’s age could also be a way for them to continue to lay low, since Jeralt having his child be born on the same day as such a huge tragedy to the church could serve as a way to locate Byleth and the crest stone of flames in their heart. The tragedy happened to his wife so him having another child could look suspicious even if it was commonly believed that Byleth died in the fire 21 years ago. He does lie TO RHEA (the person most devastated by Byleth’s alleged passing two decades ago) about Byleth being of a different woman years after he left the monastery so there is proof it had a function to deter the church from his child. It could also serve as a way for Byleth to reasonably become a knight, teacher or some other position in the church rather than solely be forced to become the vessel for Sothis when they did get found out. Jeralt knew of Rhea’s plans even if he didn’t have the full picture of them, and being 300+ years old could have made him a bit more weary of Rhea than most people would be, due to such a long exposure he’s had with her true self. He’s overly cautious and protective of his kid, so it’s reasonable for him to have this as one of the many backup plans he had against one of the most dangerous people he knows of.
Coming in late with a few more fun facts about Three Houses birthdays: - The character ages visible on their profiles dynamically update to take birthdays into account, which is a nice bit of attention to detail. - If Byleth's birthday is set to sometime in March/Lone Moon (so that it falls during Chapter 12 pre-timeskip), *and* you're an Eagle that chooses to side against Edelgard the chapter before (i.e., on the path to Silver Snow), your birthday gift is a White Dragon Scarf from Rhea, since your house leader isn't exactly around to give you something anymore :V This is one of only two ways to get the scarf in the whole game (the other being if you clear the Chapter 6 mission as early as possible). - Among the wealth of unused text strings in 3H's data are several things related to birthdays: Aelfric has an assigned birthday of 4/30 that can't be seen in-game bc he isn't playable, there are strings for a character receiving increased motivation and/or support points with another character on their birthday (separate from the used flowers/tea party mechanics), and most notably, there was apparently an entire cut online feature for celebrating other players' birthdays! From the looks of it, a given player's birthday party would function as a "room" of sorts that you could join to give them a "poke" or leave a typed comment, with the host's side tracking stats for how many guests and pokes you received. Sadly I'm in the no-FE-birthdays crowd myself; mine is sandwiched right between Kagero's (haven't played much Fates so I don't have a strong opinion on her) and Yunaka's (
One thing about Three Houses, if you get a Perfect Tea Time with a character, Byleth and the unit in question can actually gain +1 charm. You can only get 2 charm per month, but by the end of a run, Byleth can have upwards of 60 charm, making you extremely gambit resistant and being like the one character who can land a gambit on an enemy Edelgard post-timeskip Also, because of how the calendar is arranged, Seteth is the only character who's birthday you cannot celebrate, as his birthday is the day after the Chapter 9 mission and you're probably too bummed at Jeralt's death to celebrate. Given that his birthday is in the Ethereal Moon (December), that whole month is just Hunting by Daybreak on 3/4 routes, the only route that gets a proper December in the timeskip is Crimson Flower, the one route where he's unplayable
Something else about the birthdays in Awakening is that all of the child characters (except Morgan) have birthdays that align with the release dates of past fire emblem entries: Owain = July 15th (New Mystery of the Emblem) Inigo = August 7th (Shadow Dragon) Brady = February 22nd (Radiant Dawn) Kjelle's = September 29th (the first episode of Fire Emblem: Archanea Saga) Cynthia = May 14th (Genealogy of the Holy War) Severa = January 21st (Mystery of the Emblem) Gerome = September 1st (Thracia) Yarne = March 14th (Gaiden) Laurent = April 25th (The Blazing Blade) Noire = October 7th (The Sacred Stones) Nah = March 29th (The Binding Blade) If you're wondering where Path of Radiance is, that was also released on April 20 like the first game, so Lucina's Bday is also referencing that. Edit: ALSO! Fates kinda continued this, as Kana's birthday (April 19th) was the date Awakening first released.
Happy Birthday! I am one of the few (un)lucky people to share a birthday with NO fire emblem character! (February 6th, which is sandwiched by Rinkah and Subaki 😭) Maybe the next game will finally provide a character for my day
Gonna add this to my watch later, so not gonna watch yet, but seeing this Video topic pop up on my own birthday, and hearing talks about birthdays on the radio makes for a fun little coincidence. Since it's your birthday as well, Happy Birthday Dani! May yours be a good one as well. (I assume the video will mention our fire emblem birthday twins, Kaden and Flayn, so happy birthday to them too!) EDIT: Watching the Video right now and I saw Tokyo Mirage sessions- since I forgot about this (game), I also gotta add "Happy birthday to Kiria TMS as well!", man we sure share a lot of birthdays with Fire Emblem characters as July 12th ppl, huh?
How can you say that there's games where birthdays don't have mechanical benefits when they're really good for units' health? The more birthdays a unit has, the longer they live.
There is actually an explanation for Rhajat Caeldori and Asugi! The simple one is in Rhajat's death quote. She references awakening by asking if she'll see Corrin in a sandstorm. The harder to find one is in Rhajat's japanese support with f!corrrin (which i recommend reading if you ever decide to do a srpg sapphics on rhajat). In the a support rhajat looks into corrin's future and says theyll meet again in a future life, heavily implied to be Tharja and Robin. So tl;dr when Rhajat Caeldori Asugi and Corrin die, theyll one day be reborn as Tharja Cordelia Gaius and Robin. The fates incarnations are the awakening counterparts in a past life. Apologies im very autistic about Rhajat and fe fates haha.
Some Three Houses headcanons I have involving birthdays: 1. The birthday that Byleth has in game is not their real birthday. Jeralt’s diary suggests Byleth was born in September. Therefore, I believe that the day Byleth celebrates as their birthday is the day Jeralt told them it was, in order to make it appear that Byleth was born after Jeralt left the knights 2. As Byleth’s “birthday” is not their real birthday, I believe Sothis believes that it is her birthday as well simply because her and Byleth’s memories are entwined. Byleth remembers things such as the Red Canyon through Sothis’ memories, so it could be that Sothis remembers Byleth’s “birthday” and believes it to be her own
Happy birthday 🙏 my birthday twin is Setsuna and I love her for it, she was one of my favorite characters before I realized so I loved her even more after. It’s actually pretty cool you share a birthday with Kaden, I like him. I’ll be honest, birthday events for the avatars are cheesy, but they make me so happy. I love logging in on my irl birthday and seeing all the messages
My birthday is the same as bunet from fe engage. Edit: i didn't know anything about him since I don't play engage, but after looking him up.........he's crazy. I wonder if he's related to peri.
I don't use Frederick enough but I share the same birthday as him. I do love his support conversations, the one with the posters and Chrom always gets me cracking up with laughter.
I do want to also mention something Dani missed (no shame to her, she did a fantastic job) for the most part aside from Lucina and Aversa. All of the Awakening Kids (+ others) have birthdays with a release of a Fire Emblem game. Jan 21 - Severa - Japanese release of Mystery of the Emblem on SNES & Cartridge version of Thracia 776 Feb 22 - Brady - Japanese release of Radiant Dawn March 14 - Yarne - Japanese release of Gaiden & European release of Radiant Dawn March 28 - Nah - Japanese release of Binding Blade April 20 - Lucina - Japanese release of FE1, Japanese release of Path of Radiance, & Australian release of Awakening April 25 - Laurent - Japanese release of Blazing Sword May 14 - Cynthia - Japanese release of Genealogy of the Holy War May 23 - Ricken - N. American release of Sacred Stones July 15 - Owain - Japanese release of New Mystery of the Emblem August 7 - Inigo - Japanese release of Shadow Dragon (DS) September 1 - Gerome - Japanese release of the Nintendo Power version of Thracia 776 September 29 - Kjelle - Second day of broadcasting of Archenea Saga on the Satellaview October 7 - Noire - Japanese release of Sacred Stones October 10 - Lon'qu - N. American release of Path of Radiance November 3 - Aversa - N. American release of Blazing Sword December 5 - Sully - European release of Shadow Dragon (DS) Oh and Miriel shares a birthday with Charles Darwin (Feb 12).
Cordelia also has a birthday with a Japanese festival that fits her characterization. I only highlighted a few of the notable ones, like I said there were a lot of birthday with 'notable' dates, including many on game release dates, but I only wanted to highlight a few because otherwise the video would have been even longer with me just listing factoids from the wiki.
Well, happy birthday! I just looked up the birthdays on Google, only to realize that the link was already in the description. Oops. ^^; I'll finish the video in a sec, but after all that, I don't have anyone in Fire Emblem that shares my birthday... yet. The closest are the ninja twins, Kaze and Saizo. I guess I'll just have to wait until FE18 to get that chance.
Originally I thought I didn’t share a birthday with any character, then I looked it up and I shared one with Mozu. And Noire’s birthday is the day after. Neat. Also I hope you suffer a bunch of low percent crits in the next game you play for all your FE7 slander.
Happy borthday! No units bday falls on mine but I got one the day before (Lissa) and after (Jeritza). I like Lissa quite a bit and I don't think I've ever used Jeritza.
Yay🎉 Happy birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🥳 I just checked and I unfortunately dont share a fe birthday with anyone. But i am closest to Gunter from fates and Lorenz from the houses... (yay?) The edit is because I mentioned the Anna thingy, but it was talked bout in the vid. I noticed it and thought it was neat. Should have watched the vid first before commenting smh
Algo-boosting comment go brr Sadly I don't share my birthday with an FE character yet as I am sandwiched between Cyril (October 25th) and Xander (October 27th). Maybe one day... Also: Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday dani, hope you have an amazing day. I share a birthday with Kjelle, from awakening wich is a character that personality wise, i don't really hate her nor specially like, i think she's cool, but that's it. But gameplay wise i adore her, because on my second playthrough of awakening, i married her mother, Sully, to Frederick, so when i recruited her, she was a BEAST of an unit.
As a belated birthday present, I shall impart this knowledge to you: tactician bonus is applied to Ddg on all units, not Crit. And my birthday is the same as Henry's. Take from that what you will.
I don't share a birthday with any characters, but I do share a name with Xander from Fates. It's close enough... right? I like Xander. I think he's a really flawed character but he has a cool PRF and a meaningful moment with Elise in Conquest. Anyway, happy birthday Dani!
Happy birthday Dani. Apparently I share a birthday with Takumi, which is fun because I like using him in Birthright and fighting him in Conquest. I actually loaded up Birthright today and got Kadens birthday, so I gifted him a Dirty Kerchief, which I then immediately gifted to someone else a minute later
Happy Birthday Dani! I share a birthday with Azura! Despite how the game's writing turned out, I'll always think she's cool based on the dance teaser alone.
You got three houses slightly wrong, its not a completly imaginary calendar, they just changed the month name, you can find out about this in a book in abyss. The birthdays are just days where you can buy them a gift or have a free action tea time with them (you still need tea leaves of your own), with the saints getting a bonus
Happy birthday, Dani! Hope you have a fantastic day! Though hailing from game bad, Kaden is a really neat character. My birthday partner, apparently, is Dwyer. Huh. I'm not particularly fond of him, but we do have the same eyebags.
I share a birthday with velouria! I like her design and I even have both of her versions in heroes but I only really used her in my playthrough of Conquest. I adore being born the same day as a wolf girl though! Also happy birthday!
Happy Birthday! Thanks for all the great Fire Emblem content. As for shared Birthday, mine is Feb 24, which means I share a Birthday with Nel from Engage's DLC.....which isn't thrilling to me as I didn't even enjoy base Engage's story, and didn't even do the DLC story
16:00 I would have totally been 100% ok with the three awakening children getting the Anna treatment. They could have each been in a different house in FE3H….i could already picture which one would be in which house lol, owain in the golden deer, inigio in the blue lions, and servera in crimson eagles….it fits perfectly
I share no birthday with a FE characters but thanks to the affiinities I have seen Hector is from my same month so I headcanon him sharing my birthday.
Happy birthday! I don’t share a birthday with any FE characters, but mine is a day in between Alcryst’s birthday (October 15th) and Cherche’s (October 17th)
I find it sad and funny that my birthday is one of the few that isn't represented in any FE game so far. Feb. 16th. There's people _close_ to that, but none of them actually have it. Nyx (17th), Fogado (14th), Felicia and Flora (19th), all of them are within 3 days of my birthday.
There’s also Cordelia’s who’s birthday is on Tanabata, a Japanese festival characterized by wishing for something since it celebrates a Chinese story about 2 people wishing they could be together but can’t, which connects to Cordelia hopelessly wishing to be with chrom but it not being possible
Happy birthday ♡ Sadly no one has the same birthday as I, but the closest are Kiragi (July 4th) and Caeldori (July 6th) Caeldori is just Japanese Cordelia, so I don't care a lot about her, and the only thing I like about Kiragi are his critical hit quotes doing music references (Have a Nice Day and No More Mr Nice Guy)
