1st cousins is no ickier than some of the other iffy stuff going on in the game (Ricken and especially Nowi), and would, in fact, be almost perfectly acceptable if Lucina and Owain were living in modern Japan.


And now all those gameshows start to make sense...

Not even that, it's just a cultural thing. First cousins are in-bounds. The societies that see first cousins as out of bounds are the exception, not the rule (Western Europe doesn't like it, China also hates it, although in China it's also frowned upon to marry someone of the same surname even if you're completely unrelated)

That's true. It's just different countries, different social standings really. Something which we consider normal is most unusual in other countries, and vice-versa. It's the way the world works. I for one am just a fan that they included that marriage possibility, because it seems like a good one.

Also, today (I guess technically yesterday now here) marks the 5 week to go mark until the UK release! Yay!



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Feh. I'm sticking to my "yuck" perspective. Noble and royal families should be more than enough evidence that it's a terrible idea!

But they are members of the royal family, so the historical precedent is there.

You know, all this talk just makes me want the game more.

And Lucina looks pretty cool, I must add.


Well if you like Lucina so much, why don't you just marry her?

Oh wait...

Just popping in to say that I've been playing for about a month and heartily approve of this game!

Conegamer will look down upon you for not having a Fire Emblem avatar by this point.

But my old avatar has been with me since, like, 2009 or something. And if I kept it during my 3 month Kid Icarus: Uprising phase, there's no way I'm abandoning it now.

Just a fair warning.
