Ike and Soren are singled out
>>730814056The pinnacle of dignity.
this has been known for years
This is libel.
>>730814056If you didn't finish Radiant Dawn with an A support between Ike and Soren coming off a save file transfer from Path of Radiance with an A support between them there too, you didn't beat the game.
>>730814056OH NO>In the A-Level support conversation between the two in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, Soren tells Ike, “You are the only one that is special to me” (「あなただけが、僕にとって特別になったんです⋯⋯」).>Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance Memorial Book Tellius Recollection: The First Volume (2016) and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn Memorial Book Tellius Recollection: The Second Volume (2016) frequently reference the bond between the characters, with volume 2 stating that Ike feels love for Soren (p. 87),>Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn Memorial Book Tellius Recollection: The Second Volume (2016) has the moment where Ike & Soren's hearts become one 「互いの心をひとつにした」(p.241).>The Making of Fire Emblem: 25 Years of Development Secrets - 男気にあふれ」Can mean both “chivalrous to a fault” and “overflowing with masculinity”, while 「女性からの好意にも鈍感」can mean both the passive, unconscious “he is oblivious to female attention” and the more active, conscious “he cares nothing for the affection of women”.
>>730814056Everyone knew this was canon besides shipfags
>>730814056BaséStill the best FE homos
Honestly the only thing that's funny is they chose that instead of any of the way more successful and iconic later games that have out-and-out gay romance options, including Three Houses' even including cover girl and advertising focus Edelgard among its options, they chose PoR/RD.
>>730816270>it's funny they didn't pick the controversial, badly written girlHitler lesbian Maybe if funny is how you spell logical
>>730816270Perhaps they found Ike and Soren's relationship more romantic that those others.
>>730816506Agreed, I know I would at least but then again I have good taste
I always wondered why Ike never did anything to Mist despite having her all for himself.
>>730816105first time I've ever seen fanart of someone acknowledging Soren's heritage.
>>730814056I used to like the idea of it until I realized that the only kind of gay pairing people can do is the heteronormative fucking horseshit
>>730814340>>The Making of Fire Emblem: 25 Years of Development Secrets - 男気にあふれ」Can mean both “chivalrous to a fault” and “overflowing with masculinity”, while 「女性からの好意にも鈍感」can mean both the passive, unconscious “he is oblivious to female attention” and the more active, conscious “he cares nothing for the affection of women”.People keep posting this and don't understand why this was put in place in the first place. Radiant Dawn was always planned with Ike returning to be a hero from a humble mercenary life. But there's an obvious glaring problem that they solved by handwaving it away with that trait. So Anon, how would you rewrite Ike's character so he still swoops in to save the day as a mercenary in Radiant Dawn if they didn't have that trait in? And what is the glaringly obvious problem I speak of?

I always dislike these kinds of tropes that femboy or boyish looking guy has to be gay. Boring honestly. And why those guys have to be gay while in the West, there are way more variety in depicting these kinds of men than just "hahaha boyish short guy = gay"
>>730819179Wasn't this effect invented yet during the other Fire Emblem games?
>>730819365You have it the other way around. Western media enforced those roles. Gets tiring though.
