That would be an epic troll, and just further confuse people who don't play Fire Emblem and had doubts about Marth's gender in the first place.

I do love how Fire Emblem pokes fun of its own character design by having actual characters confused on other's genders because of their hair length.

Chrom is a shoe-in for Smash Bros., and I'm hoping that Lucinda takes Marths place. But of course just being a reskinned Marth (and having his masked costume be an alternate costume.)

I think this is the most likely scenario, but having a character change gender right before your eyes would leave Nintendo open to...questions, let's just say.

Well they did it with Samus.

Samus was always a girl, though. You never saw her face, and it was made pretty clear in the Subspace emissary as well.

i just finished the fourth paralogue and i'm going through on hard mode. Yeah, the game gets easier as it goes on, but the beginning always seems the toughtest.

Have you finished the game though? I've heard the difficulty really picks up around Chapter 13-15, or when Lucina joins the party. Obviously I can't confirm this, but I've heard it a fair few times.

Hmm... which child goes for Paralogue 5? It opened up 8, 12, and 14 all at once for me, and I should have Sully's, Avatar's, and Miriel's kid.

Do the paralogues go in ascending difficulty numerically from 5-18? Or could i tackle any of these?

Paralogue 5 is Owain, Lissa's child.

They vary, the numbers don't do anything. Just so you know, the Avatar's is a bit easy. Sully's is alright and Miriel's is... special.
