That could easily have hindered their character growth, but it didn’t. Except, they aren’t together for most of the game. Together, these Children of Fate are pretty much an unstoppable force. Celica is calm, level-headed, and loyal, which fits her occupation as a Priestess. Alm is brave, stubborn, and his eagerness to help marks him as a natural leader. But hey, that’s just a minor part of the game.Īlm and Celica are both great main characters. I think it’s worth a mention that Conrad and Celica’s support conversations are terrible, not because of poor writing, but because of how Celica acts during them. In a weird way, he’s undoing the past, at least in his own mind. This is furthered by the fact that the woman that he’s devoted himself to rescuing from danger is none other than his long-lost sister Anthiese. He doesn’t try to act like a dashing hero out of a sense of vanity, he does it because that’s how he copes with his past. He lost his parents and (presumably) his sister Anthiese when he was young, and that memory stuck with him for his entire life. He acts like he’s brave and noble when in reality, he’s hurting. But then I played the game again, and my opinion has changed.Ĭonrad is a really confused guy. He’s the typical hero character that practically every RPG has. I mean, he’s over the top, predictable, and sort of boring. I wasn’t initially going to put Conrad on this list. Top 10 Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows Of Valentia Characters So you’re not getting my opinions fresh out of my first play through, you’re getting my new and improved perspective. My list has changed significantly from what it was going to be, and I’m really glad I played the game a second time. Since starting this list (Yeah, I’ve had it in the works for a while), I’ve replayed the game, making sure to catch most of the support conversations and recruiting all of the optional characters. I also won’t be listing the DLC characters, even though I love Emma and Randal’s dynamic. I’m not going to be ranking these characters on any real set of criteria, though personality, design, and gameplay will all likely play into my choices. This is going to be pretty hard, as like I said earlier, I like nearly every playable character in the game. A lot of the characters have real problems and struggles, which makes them pretty easy to relate to at points.Īfter my April Fool’s list of Top Fire Emblem Characters, which you can check out here, I decided that I wanted to seriously make a similar list for Shadows Of Valentia. All but one of the playable characters are at least pretty good, and they all feel like actual people living in their fantasy world. Shadows of Valentia has, in my opinion, possibly one of the greatest casts in any video game. But surely that was just the advertising, right? So when FEE was announced, I was surprised when the trailer seemed to offer a vast story with involved characters. They both had their strong points for sure, but the mostly bland and one-dimensional characters were pretty off-putting to me. #FE ECHOES CHARACTERS SERIES#My main exposure to the series up until that point had been Fates and Awakening, and I wasn’t exactly the biggest fan of either one. A few months ago, I played through Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows Of Valentia not knowing what to think.
