#anyway i love the s rank supports and you can pry them from my cold dead hands

[sotiredmostnights]

never really understood the whole "these characters just talk to each other 3 times and get married" criticism of the awakening/fates s-rank system...like, correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't that sort of disregarding the entire method of grinding supports?

i thought it was pretty obvious that players were supposed to infer that, each time a character protects another in battle, each time a character attacks an enemy while paired with their prospective partner, and each time they land on one of those special tiles that grant additional support convo tidbits, the characters were growing closer emotionally in a way that could often end in a romantic union

#idk maybe it's just me but i feel like you kinda do need to consider how gameplay elements tie into the support system. #it's really not hard to consider that although each pair has a set number of support convos #that they also interact outside of those scripted convos in a way that builds trust and strengthens bonds #fire emblem #fire emblem awakening #fire emblem fates #fire emblem engage #anyway i love the s rank supports and you can pry them from my cold dead hands
