| Weegee said: I never said lyndis was weak or need protection , I just said that she is bumped from her position of leader and it's sad that there just one fire emblem with a main character girl from the begining to the end (fire emblem 4 i think). When I was compared Eirika and Ephraim look the situation. In stat , Epraim is just better than Eirika. Look at their peronality , Eirika need protection and advice and she got less leadership than is brother , she has less self confidence she need the more advice posible to make a move. But Epraim ,he take a bunch of knight , charge the enemy and win. Foolishness ? Don't forget that he never pick up a fight that he can't win, he has too much leadership for that. Guess what ? He does not make one error and came back alive without a little wound.And it's always like this. Lilina is a little girl , so she need protection from a little boy who is the commander of the entire lycia army. Yeah... And your say that it's not stereotype ? Are you saying that it's a hazard that the girl have almost always less leadership, less confidence and less important position ? Anyway you say that you never saw this in fire emblem. You refuse to see this because you like the game. Am not alone in the world to think like this. I just want 50/50 with the character but you assume that I want the character to be identical. Maybe it would be the first step to have more main character girl like lyndis. Also you saying thing like 'the majority of player play with iron weapon' to convince me for X point. But when i'm saying that the majority of player have more guy than girl in their final party. You saying that you don't care about the majority of player in forum. Maybe I was wrong about Elincia but for me , when I saw someone totally dominated by his people and the knight in shinny armor come and save the day, I don't think it's a good exemple. Anyway , we lost our time here, nobody want to change is mind. Look , I don't say that Fire Emblem is a bad game. I'm just angry because I want more girl like lyndis or imagine a Hector personality put in a girl, that would be cool. I want also a identical number of guy and girl in the group of hero. They are always more guy ruler , important general and I want the developper to put 50/50 but they don't. |
On some level I think there may be a language barrier here: I get the impression that I must be misunderstanding some of your points, because some of this doesn't make sense to me.
There is no central leader in FE7, inn spite of Eliwood becoming the narrative focus after the first ten chapters. She only "lost leadership" in the sense that she was among equals and they all agreed on what needed to be done.
And no, Ephraim is not better than Eirika, that's also verifiably false: he has more strength, but she has better speed, skill, luck, and resistance - she's eminently more survivable than he is if only because she's so much freaking harder to hit. I use Eirika over Ephraim every time. Her average speed is over six points higher than his, and she will double-hit ridiculously more often than he does, while getting hit much less often in turn. Trying to spin her stats as being worse than his is just dishonest.
Lilina's growth is important too; Roy got there before she did, is all. They're both heirs to the most importantl ords in the land. Characters can grow. Their characters are not summarized in the first ten minutes you see them.
Girls do not "always have leadership, less confidence and less important position." That's a falsehood. It's verifiable falsehood, and all it takes is one instance to prove it. I've given you several. Drop te point, you are wrong.
I never said that i've never seen it, I said that it's not the rule. Because it isn't. I don't care if you'e not alone, you're wrong.
I bring up the point that lower constitution on female classes is not a matter of importance when the lightest weapons you can get are also typically the best bang for your buck in terms of damage dealt. Female characters are not weaker.
Elincia was not "dominated by [her] people". She had to make hard choices as a queen. She was an incredibly strong character, particularly in that scene, and trying to spin that scene as sexist against women is a misappropriation of the word "sexist".
Hector's personality is intensely masculine and brash,transplanting his personality into a girl would basically be making Hector with boobs. That's what I mean by makign characters identical - you're not acknowledging that there is a diffeence in the feminine and masculine mindset and perspective, and when you fail to acknowledge that point you are not a good feminist.
This is not a case where I'm going to stop just because you want to end the conversation. I'll give a lot of people the las word, but not this time. Your definition of "feminism" and your definition of "sexism" are both off-base.
