Fair enough.

Nowi was best girl last game, ok.

Nowi also led a lot of perfectly reasonable gents into the terrible depths of moral quandary.

How long does it actually take a manakete to physically mature, anyway? Tiki, who previously looked a lot like Nowi, had certainly grown up by the time Awakening came 'round.

I wonder if it takes them longer to mature mentally, too. I mean, Nowi was still very childlike, despite being 1000-ish years old.

*Shiver*

... Imagine a period of teen angst lasting for possibly several thousand years. Being the parent of a manakete would really suck.

[Sirus]

Maybe it was just me, but Nowi's childish ways seemed to be at least partially an act to get people to let down their guard. If you bother to S-rank her with anyone, she makes it clear that she's perfectly aware of what marriage is and what it means, whereas someone with a child's mind simply wouldn't get it.

Or maybe not. Maybe that's something the localization added so that you didn't have a bunch of grown men having children with someone who was, in every way except chronologically, a child herself (and all the squick that implies).

* Sirus shrugs

Her daughter didn't seem to be quite so childish, from what little I saw of her.

[SOLDIER First]

Nah was actually pretty mature, if kind of not-self confident.

[Nighthawk]

Another curiosity: nobody ever really addresses the fact that a manakete is inevitably going to outlive a human spouse, or for that matter any human they become attached to in any way. Makes you think... could Nowi's childish behavior be a self-defense mechanism against hundreds of years of grief after losing countless friends to old age and war?

That's a massively depressing thought.

[KingofstarrySkies]

Fuck right it is. Q-Q

[Sirus]

I swear it was brought up at some point, but I can't be bothered to go hunting through support dialogue for it.

Maybe Tiki says something about it.

Nowi also led a lot of perfectly reasonable gents into the terrible depths of moral quandary.

I would find that she looks like a scantily clad 10 year old to be a lot less unnerving than the fact that she's an unstoppable killing machine who instantly vaporizes people and then "Teehee! Nowi wins!"

[SOLDIER First]

I-I want Nowi to instantly vaporize me... ;-;

[Sirus]

Well, it probably wouldn't be the most painful way to die...

[KingofstarrySkies]

I want to cuddle Nowi is that so wrong

[Sirus]

As long as you don't say that around Chris Hansen you're probably okay.

[Nighthawk]

I want to cuddle Nowi is that so wrong

A weeb would tell you, "That's a big Nono."

I'd never say that, of course, because I'm not a weeb. Not at all...

[Trapezohedron]

I-I could totally uhh use the company of a certain サクラ right now...

*fidget*

don't call the cops[color]

So, uh, huge Fire Emblem news surfaced recently, in case you folks aren't aware. The lineup of games is:
- Fire Emblem Heroes (mobile game)
- Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia (3DS game, a remake of Gaiden)
- Fire Emblem Warriors (Warriors spin-off for the Switch and 3DS)
- Another Fire Emblem game for the Switch, currently not named (likely a mainline entry, not a spin-off).

Seems like a pretty good excuse for thread necromancy.
