the first time i heard flayn say "roughly the same age as the other youths here" i was like shut up. this isnt my first fire emblem game shes obviously like 400 years old or some silliness.
Listen, all of Linhardt's lines are fantastic but none of them will top the line in Cindered Shadows where he says "It's like casting a line and thinking you've landed the Big One... but then you reel it in, and it's Seteth."
I didn’t like him at first, as I found him rude, but he grew on me “How fascinating... You’ll have to tell me about it sometime when I’m not walking away”
And that's the charm of this game, it's got bright colors, cheery music, & silly comedic moments, but it's easily the darkest game in the franchise, with so many horrific, tragic, and depressing backstories from every character, all of them working to shape the main story.
Cue: Caspar shouting, Ferdinand saying his name over and over, Petra misinterpreting [insert language here], Linhardt napping mid-conversation, Dorothea flirting with anyone in a 10 mile radius, and Bernadetta angsting over every single word people say.
Before playing CF, I always thought Caspar was pretty forgettable. Now he’s one of my absolute favorites and it’s because of the line delivery-it’s PERFECT
A-support, actually. "Yes? Oh, it's you, professor. I thought for certain that it was Hubert coming to drag me back to my duties." "YoU'rE mAjEsTy, YoU mUsT kNoW yOuR sUpReMe TaLeNtS aRe NeEdEd At PrEsEnT. WhY nOt GaZe At ThEsE dOcUmEnTs InStEaD oF tHe SkY?" "That sounds like Hubert." "Doesn't it? And the worst part is he's always right, so I can't even argue with him."
"Stupid... Useless... Just burn the whole thing, Bernie! Leave all your stupid brushes and NEVER PAINT AGAIN!" (Says all of this while Sobbing) Yeah, that line from Bernadetta basically confirmed in my mind that all of the self-doubting lines she utters are just her repeating her father's words. "Perhaps I should've kept my thoughts to myself." You're damn right as usual, Lin.
You'll have to tell me about that sometime when I'm not walking away. (Chaotic gang saying OOOHHH Meme plays) [Accidentally makes Bernie cry and run away] Perhaps I should've kept my words to myself.
Every time I see dialogue with Bernadetta I’m reminded of just how badly I want a compilation of just Bernadetta. All the screams and wacky moments that she has. Shits hilarious, despite her backstory. XD
That's why the central hill trap doesn't ignite the Ballista, and why Bernie doesn't even react to it. My point is, people have to strawman to argue against Edelgard.
@@maxrichards3881 Exactly. Bernie never moves from the ballista, so lighting everything around her doesn't hurt her; it actually makes her situation less approachable for attackers. It also only happens in Maddening Mode to my experience, and will happen regardless of whether or not Bernie is up there.
CF is probably my least favourite route because it's short and you characters like flayn will leave you're party, same as church route but you only lose Edelgard and Hubert, Golden Deer is my favourite route.
@@S.I.L. But the developers made it very short and it's very rush so I think they made it the very late, maybe they even tried to make different route for BL and GD, but it's just "maybe"
It's a bit different, but you do technically play as the antagonist for a while in FE10, Radiant Dawn. Totally agree that Crimson Flower was rushed though.
