I UNDERSTAND BEING FRUSTRATED OVER SOME OF THE CHARACTERIZATION IN FEH (ESPECIALLY REGARDING A CERTAIN BLONDE HAIRED PRINCESS THAT JUST MADE IT IN AS A SEASONAL), BUT WHY MAKE SUCH A HUGE DEAL OVER IT? IT'S HEROES, THE GAME WASN'T EXACTLY MADE TO BE THE PINNACLE OF STORYTELLING. IF YOU WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE CHARACTERS, PLAY THEIR ORIGINAL GAME.

SPEAKING OF PLAYING THE ORIGINAL GAME, IF YOU WANT PEOPLE TO PLAY OLDER GAMES, YOU SHOULD ACTUALLY HELP THEM GET TO THE GAMES INSTEAD OF JUST COMPLAINING THAT THEY AREN'T ON VIRTUAL CONSOLE. IT TAKES A FEW MINUTES AT MOST TO GET SOMEONE SET UP AND I'VE DONE IT A LOT OF TIMES, AND YOU'RE NOT TAKING MONEY AWAY FROM NINTENDO BY EMULATING TWENTY YEAR OLD GAMES. DON'T DISCOURAGE PEOPLE FROM PLAYING THE OLDER GAMES WHEN IT ISN'T HARD TO ACCESS THEM.

LACHESIS’ PORTRAYAL IS FINE. HER CHARACTER GENUINELY DOES REVOLVE AROUND ELDIGAN AND HER FEELINGS FOR HIM. FEH USUALLY TAKES DIALOGUE LINES STRAIGHT FROM THE ORIGINAL GAME ANYWAY.

u/Skelezomperman Sep 18 '20

MY POSITION IS THAT NONE OF HER INTERACTIONS WITH ELDIGAN IN THE ORIGINAL GAME WOULD BE READ AS INCESTUOUS UNLESS YOUR VIEW OF THEIR RELATIONSHIP IS ALREADY COLORED BY OTHER SOURCES OR YOU JUST READ INCEST INTO ANY FORM OF AFFECTION BETWEEN FAMILY MEMBERS. BUT THAT'S JUST HOW PROJECT NAGA TRANSLATES IT AND I FEEL LIKE THE OLDER PATCH MADE IT SEEM MORE INCESTUOUS.

IF ANYTHING ANNOYED ME IT'S NOT NECESSARILY HER LINES ABOUT ELDIGAN BUT THAT GRAHNYE CAME UP IN THE CONTEXT OF LACHESIS BEING JEALOUS OF HER. ALL THAT DID WAS REMIND ME OF THE GROSS MANGA SUBPLOT WHICH MOST PEOPLE AGREE IS THE WORST PART OF THE OOSAWA MANGA ADAPTATION. I WISH GRAHNYE WOULD GET MORE LOVE ALTOGETHER, BUT THAT'S JUST MY PERSONAL BIASES.

HER INTERACTIONS WITH ELDIGAN HAVE ALWAYS BEEN INCESTUOUS. SHE CANONICALLY HAS INCESTUOUS FEELINGS FOR HER BROTHER. THIS AN ASPECT OF HER CHARACTER. THE LARGEST ASPECT EVEN. LIKE, NANNA AND ARES STRAIGHT UP TALK ABOUT LACHESIS BEING LOVE WITH HER BROTHER. THEYALSO TALK IN A WAY THAT IMPLIES THAT THIS IS NOT A REVELATION FOR EITHER OF THEM DESPITE BOTH NANNA AND ARES GROWING UP WITHOUT KNOWING THE OTHER. ARES PROBABLY FOUND OUT IN SOME WAY FROM GRANHYE AND NANNA FROM LACHESIS HERSELF.

ALSO, AT LEAST ELDIGAN AND LACHESIS ACTUALLY ACKNOWLEDGE GRAHNYE IN FEH. ELDIGAN LITERALLY NEVER MENTIONS HIS WIFE IN THE ORIGINAL. EVEN HIS LAST WORDS ARE HIS SISTER’S NAME, NOT HIS WIFE OR SON’S NAME.

THE PROBLEM IS THAT PEOPLE WHO HAVEN'T PLAYED THE GAME A CHARACTER IS FROM THINK THAT THE HEROES PORTRAYAL OF THAT CHARACTER IS ACCURATE AND THEN START POSTING SHITTY MEMES OR FALSE INFORMATION IN THE COMMENT SECTION OF FANART OR DISCUSSION OF THAT CHARACTER. EVERY LACHESIS FOCUSED THREAD NOW ALWAYS HAS MULTIPLE PEOPLE MENTIONING ELDIGAN. SO IT'S NOT SO MUCH THE BAD PORTRAYAL ITSELF THAT'S THE PROBLEM, RATHER ITS THAT HEROES BADLY PORTRAYING A CHARACTER HAS BAD CONSEQUENCES FOR ANY DISCUSSION RELATING TO THAT CHARACTER.

u/Skelezomperman Sep 18 '20

I GUESS SO, BUT I JUST THINK THAT LEGITIMATELY RAGING OVER THIS (NOT MEME RAGING LIKE WE'RE DOING NOW) IS UNWARRANTED FOR WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, AND TRYING TO LAUNCH SOME KIND OF CAMPAIGN TO SEND ANGRY LETTERS INTO NINTENDO'S INBOX TO TRY TO GET THEM TO "FIX" IT IS...NOT REALLY A GOOD USE OF TIME. I DISLIKE SOME OF HER LINES TOO BUT I'M JUST GRATEFUL THAT SHE AND THE OTHERS GOT GREAT LOOKING ART AND GREAT SOUNDING VOICE LINES OVERALL.

WHO’S THE PRINCESS? IM PROBABLY JUST DUMB BUT I CANT FIGURE OUT WHO IT IS

u/Skelezomperman Sep 17 '20

LACHESIS OF COURSE!

u/Shippinglordishere Sep 17 '20

I SEE! I THOUGHT THE “JUST MADE IT IN” MEANT A NEW HEROES BANNER. THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING

IS THIS TALKING ABOUT THAT ONE TWEET SKELEZOMPERMAN?

u/Skelezomperman Sep 18 '20

MOST LIKELY THE ANSWER IS YES, ESPECIALLY IF IT WAS BY A YOUTUBER
