Diamant giving pratically a marriage ring, yet the game: "a symbol of our mutual support"... This really gives me Chrom's "Thanks, friend." and Robin yelling "We are married, Chrom!!" meme vibes.
I like that he's one of the few who put a lot of thought into his gift though since most of them are just, "Oh here's a piece of my clothing." when they apparently have a dozen others just like it. I mean, Diamant's ring is actually a medal that his father gave him, melted down & recast, that's quite special. It's a Brodian tradition for gifts to change form when being given to someone else, so it adds a litte lore to Brodia as well. I just hate that dumb "mutual support" blurb. Couldn't it say "eternal love" or something instead?
Kagetsu, according to his updated character reference post S-support, is the only one who never removes the Pact Ring & loves showing it off as well. He's quite the romantic one; it's a pity his momento is just a piece of his clothing.
I just love how Merrin is the only one who gives you something that realistically should be left on a desk or in a drawer like that, definitely a sign of being best girl
Some of these suggest the player character and their chosen loved one spend their life together. Wish that was better reflected in the ending panels...
I mean there's a bunch of other proof that she's best girl, but the fact that she has one of the few romantic Ring supports and the most romantic memento really seals the deal Even if she can't really benefit from Boon of Elyos
Yeah, outside of those and the two or so that are literally rings, it’s all pretty disappointing. I understand censoring the kids, but I don’t think the rest are necessary.
Y'all really in the boat of "they must say I love you" in order for it to be romantic lol. I swear to God this is ridiculous at this point with you people.
@Kris Marshall Half of them have descriptions saying that they are a "symbol of close friendship." You don't say stuff like that if you're actually dating the person. "Partnerships" I could see if you stretched it a bit.
What would your momento be and what would it’s description be Mine would be a hunting dagger Description: Joe’s hunting dagger he sharpened it and engraved my name into it as a show of his devotion
Interesting question. I'll probably have an expensive pen, cuz I like making stories. "The pen that Joshua gave me with my name on it, as an act of entrusting himself to me forever."
With the ones that are pieces of their outfits, do they still wear them after this? Or are they never seen with them again, because they gave them to you?
@@MoreColtraneChanges ah okay, thank you. Haven't gotten incredibly far myself as I restarted about half way, then I got too busy to play, gonna have to have a proper sit down and start grinding through back to where I was.
I’m gonna say this before he talks, but I want to ask the Edelgard rules guy, why are you stalking this channel? Why do you need to say the same 4 lines on repeat? There are other channels that are doing engage content so what makes FAL special?
@@Hodaris_Darlin You don't give a woman a ring for just "mutual support." Like, really? This stupid game. I wanted to marry the guy, not get friend zoned. 😭
@Señora de Mendoza I saw them, haha. The flattery one really gets me. It also helps that his VA is perfect for this character. Diamant feels like a fusion of Ike and Chrom, which is the type of fire emblem character that I tend to like a lot. I just wish he was the protagonist instead of Alear. That's just my feelings on the matter anyway because I think they are kind of boring and bland compared to him.
@@ThisIslandDoesNotExist Problem is you wouldn't be able to marry him then (yeah, I still call it married despite the serious downplaying of the romance). Unless it was like Awakening where Chrom was the MC & you were the supporting character. But anyway, I love Diamant, he's handsome, strong, brave, kind & smart. What more could a woman ask for?
They really went out of their way to kill the romance in this game. Only 3 of them in their S-supports actually say "I love you" & then only a few mementos are romantic. It's strange because Three Houses didn't remove the romance, so why now all of a sudden, especially when it's such a popular aspect of Fire Emblem? I understand the child characters not being romantic, but the rest are adults. SMDH! I also miss being able to pair off characters. They don't have to have children for you to be able to pair them off, you know.
I really can't describe how annoying it is that Western censorship decided to change pretty much every romantic support to just.... really good friendship, and only *two* are clearly romantic. Like I get it for the characters who are *clearly just children*, but why was it cut for the rest? And the answer better not be because "Alear is technically thousands of years old, so it's creepy that they love people who are like 24". We had the Tiki romance in Awakening, and plenty of S- Rank supports with vast age gaps since FE came back on the 3DS, so why start the heavy censorship now???? It truly baffles me. The game's still way better than I expected, but the heavy censorship has been a *big* downside to me (¯―¯ ٥)
YOU WILL NOT USE GENDERED LANGUAGE IN VIDEO GAMES. LOUIS DOES NOT LIKE TO WATCH WOMEN. HE LIKES TO WATCH PEOPLE. CHARACTERS WHO ARE GOOD WILL NOT HAVE ANY TRAITS WHICH SPEAKS AGAINST THE MESSAGE WE WANT TO PUSH. YOU CANNOT HAVE A WIFE OR HUSBAND IN FIRE EMBLEM. GOLDMARY IS NOT TRYING TO APPEAL TO MEN, SHE ONLY WANTS TO BE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FOR PERSONAL REASONS. WOMEN CANNOT BE INTERESTED IN LOOKING GOOD FOR MEN. It is so bad because a lot of the skills and dialogue contrast the other translations in the story. Fairy Tale Folk and Admiration both are gendered for a reason. Louis watching women gives a very different implication than him just people watching which feels a lot less creepy. The reason he watches women is because he grew up in a house of boys and feels very paternal, he is interested in women and likes to take care of them because he was never around women as a kid. Chloe is specifically interested in the handsome prince and beautiful princess archetype. Yet the supports pretend that they are simply interested in couples instead. The worst part is that this IGNORES the FEMINIST implications that Chloe herself is the brave knight and it downplay's Louis' paternal nature, which is extremely important to his character. It is character assassination to the highest degree, especially when they are balanced by having really good lines that show their good nature. I find it hilarious and frustrating how people are so eager to push their agendas that they make a 180 and kill the themes they would have liked to see. It's just so awful. On top the translators looking like incompetent and awful people, they obviously have no media literacy. I get and agree that you cannot have romantic implications for characters like Anna, Framme, Clanne, Jean etc, it's gross. But whoever was translating the game obviously had a massive agenda and following that agenda watered down so many of the characters.
@@InternetMonster1 yeah it's honestly really disturbing how much they changed the themes in Engage just to push certain agendas that honestly undermine or ruin the themes already in play. I get censoring a book/movie/video game regionally since some content is confusing or unwelcome in other parts of the world. But the censorship shouldn't butcher the original media and its themes.
I think 3D Fire Emblem was a breaking point between IS and Nintendo. 3H was a bit outlandish in particular, with the whole "you can even marry yourself" thing.

Explicitly romantic: Merrin and Kagetsu
Implied: Alfred, Ivy and Timerra
Best friends 4 ever: the rest
Physician: Jean
Food?: Chloé
Louis can also go on the explicitly romantic list my man literally exchanged rings
Yunaka
It's a crime what the localizers did to this game
Okay Alear actually keeping the pebble Citrinne gave him in their B-Support was adorable
Indeed
Engage with any other unit: The most roundabout way to say they might have some romantic feelings
Engage with Kagetsu: He really loves Alear
Kagetsu, according to his updated character reference post S-support, is the only one who never removes the Pact Ring & loves showing it off as well. He's quite the romantic one; it's a pity his momento is just a piece of his clothing.
And that’s why he’s best boy
I don't know man Merrin's is quite romantic to me
>Veyle gives you a pebble
Fell dragons evolved from penguins confirmed
Brodians too
Citrinne also gives alear a pebble
Tl;dr engage characters evolved from penguins
All of these gave me genuine "aww, thats so cute"
And then there's Jade making me lose my absolute shit
2:33 In case you were wondering what the heck that weird grill headpiece thingy is that Ivy's been wearing, now you know exactly what it's called.
Everyone else: Something precious or meaningful as a symbol of their bond.

Alear out hear playing TF2 with Framme and Jean collecting hats
I WANT THAT HAT
@@FriendlyNeighborhoodLurker Soldier: " YOU WILL GIVE ME THAT HAT"

I was waiting for this.
You the man for this sorta thing.
I just love how Merrin is the only one who gives you something that realistically should be left on a desk or in a drawer like that, definitely a sign of being best girl

Oh man, I hate that thing! I actually don't like fascinators in general. I mean, is it meant to be a hair ornament or a hat? Make up your mind!
NGL I was hoping GoldMary would just give you a signed picture of herself.
Call me bias, but Merrin's memento description is so damn romantic...
What else proof needed to establish that Merrin is the best girl? None.
I mean there's a bunch of other proof that she's best girl, but the fact that she has one of the few romantic Ring supports and the most romantic memento really seals the deal

Yesss Merrin is the best! She is too cool!
shes the resident furry of the group so of course she's the best
It's really cute that your S-Rank Support gives your character something and you can see it whenever you want.

What about alfred? It literally says "a sign of his feelings " he is fruty dont deny him
Amber's Alpaca is very cute
"Friendship" 💀
When I saw the title I thought that these were items that would appear after the unit died instead of because you S ranked them
