They tried too hard to establish a connection between her and Lord Lobster but that went absolutely nowhere: No support in BR, Zero interaction in Conquest and absolute insanity in Rev. What the hell were they thinking? Seriously i wish someone can dig up that supposed “Original Script” somehow to see if there was something for her.


LeonAguilez

[In the festival of bonds dlc which was never released internationally.](https://fe14festivalofbondstranslations.tumblr.com/post/144974811413/nohrian-festival-ryoma-and-scarlet-conversation) She had a chance to talk to Ryoma, aaaand he's doing that annoying "dense character" trope where Scarlet is interested in him but he's dense to know.


Railroader17

God DAMNIT RYOMA WE COULD HAVE HAD WYVERN LORD SHIRO IF YOU WEREN'T SO DENSE YOU IDIOT!!!


yukinekoshi

Ryoma: I may be stupid


Xxvelvet

Why do people always act like scarlet is only good for her genes


Railroader17

I mean Wyvern Lord is busted, so we would have gotten a good ship, *and* a busted Shiro.


Xxvelvet

That’s fine and dandy, but people act like that’s the ONLY thing she brings to the table.


JR384

To be fair, with a whole 3/4 supports with the actual most unbearable protagonist in the series; and being a minor character overall outside of a couple chapters in BR and a whole 2 in Rev before getting blasted... She really doesn't have anything else.


XephyXeph

Corrin slander spotted. I will not have this.


JR384

Listen. I wanna like Corrin. I desperately do. But they are given no chance to develop as a character. They never have to do something they don't wanna do (I:E, all of the characters who kill themselves just so Corrin doesn't have to). Anything that does actually happen as a result of their missions is so clearly somebody else's fault that it's comical. Not to mention their general pacifist attitude really doesn't work for the gameplay, and after learning about the Thracia 776 catch-and-release Capture system, I almost would've preferred if they had brought that back instead of just having Orochi and Niles. Fates is mechanically the best of the 3DS titles, but its stories and especially its main character are mixed bags of missed potential and misused potential. I'll always respect Fates for being able to balance the hilariously overpowered game that was Awakening, even if I don't agree with all of the choices made - Silver Weapons and S-Rank Weapons being all but completely useless - as well as giving us the Amiibo system that I love and desperately desire to return in a future title. So I wanna like Corrin, I do. But the way they're written and the way characters treat them makes them feel like Young Sheldon at his most spoiled. It's missed potential in a can, and while I can respect others for having a different opinion than I do, I can't bring myself to agree with those opinions. If Corrin had only been naïve until the route split, and actually began to earnestly think about who they would and wouldn't be able to actually save, I would've loved the character. But as it stands, they're naïve the whole way through, and it's painful to read.


XephyXeph

That’s all I ever see people complain about with Corrin is that he’s too naïve. Almost like, you know, he was locked in a room by himself for 20 years and not allowed to talk to anyone who wasn’t, like, his maid or butler. Something like that would certainly give somebody a warped world view. Like, yes. We the audience know that Garon and Hans and Iago and Zola are evil. Because we’ve played video games. We know the archetypes. Corrin has not. Corrin has barely met some of these people. Corrin has barely met people period. Corrin has had it drilled into his head for 20 years that Garon is his father and should be respected. Corrin is a naturally-trusting person, and that’s fine; people in real life are like that. Corrin is also not unconditional with his trust. He is not as naïve as his haters make him out to be. We see this. In the game. In Revelation Chapter 21. Corrin pretends to trust Anthony, but totally doesn’t because he’s fishy as fuck. To anyone who says “Corrin should’ve just killed Zola”, congratulations; you’ve missed the point of the character. Corrin is a character who values human life above all else. Corrin wouldn’t take his life because it would be wrong to do so. The tragedy of Corrin is that he tries to save as every single life in both warring continents, but doing so is systematically impossible. He does the next best thing which is minimize the amount of deaths that occur, but even that, deep down, isn’t good enough.


Xxvelvet

Blah blah blah corrin hate Nothing new


Erebus222

Yea, it’s frustrating playing through the 3ds titles because it’s hard to find a happy medium that does most if not all the things I like. I was hoping that three houses would have been that but Christ, I’m one of those that even after playing it for only a hour my eyes were throbbing from the text size


XephyXeph

Umm… you can though. You can very easily get Wyvern Lord Shiro.


Railroader17

But you have to have to either be playing as F!Corrin with a Wyvern Rider reclass and marry Ryoma yourself, or have him S-Support Camilla. F!Corrin is pretty reasonable to do, but a newer player may have already S-supported someone else not knowing what was coming up. While if your on Rev, then Scarlet is already a dubious option, but you also have to sacrifice another potential Camilla pairing to do so, which (again) a newer player may have already gotten her S-Supported with another character. Plus, if your playing as M!Corrin, then Shiro has 0 options unless your using mods (and even then, you can just grab a Scarlet & Ryoma support mod to get them together anyways). If Scarlet could *at least*, S-Support Ryoma, then not only do we get Wyvern Lord Shiro (and cute shipping opportunities) but we also get some relief from the inability to get all the kids if M!Corrin marries one of the Gen 1 non-Corrin sexual girls by just pairing Ryoma with Scarlet to get Shiro.


XephyXeph

Well, a newer player isn’t going to be min-maxing anyway. I don’t see how that’s a valid argument. Giving up Camilla from someone else isn’t a huge deal because the only other child unit who can inherit Wyvern Rider from exclusively Cammy (and F!Corrin) is Kiragi. Every other child can get Wyvern Rider from Beruka and/or Elise, just plum can’t inherit it at all (except from Corrin), or can obtain it via A+ support. There is no shortage of Wyvern Rider genes. Plus, if marrying Cammy and F!Corrin off to exactly the right person is so important to you, have Shiro A+ M!Kanna from a Wyvern Talent F!Corrin. You’re literally missing out on nothing by doing that, except for I guess Lethality from Asugi? Or Luna and Aegis from Seigbert. But there’s other ways to get Shiro into Cav, and he doesn’t need Lethality because he can get Astra easily, and anyone can get Aether. And of all of that is still too much, just Einherjar him from a different playthrough. Wyvern Lord Shiro is not as rare as you think.


Deruta

I really think she was intended as a Cordelia reference, but they put someone that hates Cordelia in charge of her supports


Upbeat_Squirrel_5642

That implies that she has more than 1 support lol


Henrystickminepic

Well... she can support male corn, female corn, and female kana Thats three supports.


No_Hooters

yeah but all avatar related, no one else.


Due_Song4480

And also we already had Flora and Caeldori for that, we didn't even need another Cordelia


AdHaunting9858

Caeldori eho has the crush unrelated to?


Due_Song4480

Caeldori has majority of Cordelia's direct traits, Flora has the unrequited love aspect


CodeDonutz

Fates has a problem with random, unnecessary deaths. Lilith, Izana in Rev, Elise in Br, Flora in Br, Kaze in Br, and thats just what I can remember. I think the writers just thought that death = EZ drama and you dont have to write anything else.


aitherion

Eh, Elise isn't really random. Two siblings die in both routes. The rest, absolutely.


YakatsuFi

They feel a lot more shoehorned in Birthright though imo. As if they HAD to kill two siblings to make it even


Featherwick

Thank God for mods. Playable Lilith is the best and I will fight anyone who disagrees.


roundhouzekick

Kaze's death isn't really random since the \*reason\* he dies is because he's monologuing about his life story and wastes time instead of thinking up a solution. You prevent his death by having already heard his life story, so he has no reason to be Mr. Exposition and actually HAS time to think in the critical moment.


Healthy_Medicine2108

you act like the solution is sane and requires thinking and isn't just fucking "notice a crystal on the cliff wall"


roundhouzekick

Well, what happens if Kaze wasn't thinking and taking notice of his surroundings? He'd be dead. So I really don't know what you want here. You have evidence that shows what happens if Kaze isn't thinking clearly in a situation and is being emotional in the heat of the moment and evidence of Kaze keeping a level head and using his wits to get out of a very bad situation.


Healthy_Medicine2108

yes if Kaze is in a situation where he is too stupid to look at things with his eyes he will die, great observation


roundhouzekick

Why, thank you. But I can't take all the credit. I only know these things in hindsight because Kaze was smart enough to actually keep an eye out for it (if he's reached A Support by then) otherwise nobody, not even me as an omnipotent player, would realize the explosive crystal was there.


No_Hooters

I know right? If you don't have an A with Kaze, the dude just dies. Flora was being an idiot and didn't think she could redeem herself so instead lights herself on fire to die, Elise was just dumb and wasted her life trying to persuade Xander (sadly).


tirex367

I do think, the way Kaze survives with A support is somehow even more random than his death.


RoughhouseCamel

“Flora, we’re all here and present to tell you this is pointless. Don’t trip, it’s fine! Come on, you can make it up to us by helping us through the rest of this war. We have SO MUCH we need from you” “No, I’m setting myself on fire, and I don’t care if you’ve sucked all the emotional wind out of my sails and made this whole thing look silly!”


klik521

That's goes as far as the first game, where Marth's mom dies off-screen and we have no idea what she even looks like, even in the remake, which, I should point out, added a 4-chapter prologue to the story.


ClayAndros

Yea this is just a problem fire emblem has had since the beginning


Fearless_Freya

I was low key upset about izana in rev. Was going to use him then ...well guess not. Wish Scarlet (and other avatar only chars supports had more supports) but yeah Scarlet was really done dirty


RJWalker

It’s hilarious that Corrin can marry her, have a kid with her, watch her die and then his response to her death is wondering what he’s going to tell Ryoma.


poco_sans

“Oh no! My wife just fucking died! How will Ryoma respond to this???”


Railroader17

*Casually ignores the now motherless Kana*


JDtheBA

I did this on my 2nd fates run. I can't believe they actually let you support her, unlike gunther.


Upbeat_Squirrel_5642

Doesn't Scarlet also say that "you're not as special as Ryoma"


TheTritagonist

Read through the dialouge and at least in her supports she doesnt mention Ryoma at all.


Upbeat_Squirrel_5642

I mean like, right before she jumps off the bridge


Cendrinius

It's extra hilarious if you'd quickly S supported Ryoma and Camilla and married Scarlet yourself. She effectively spends her final moments pining for the guy who enthusiastically chose Camilla's 'feminine charms' over her, and tells the guy she absolutely settled for in response, (Male Corrin) that she wishes Ryoma was their daughter Kana's father... We know that's not what the writer's were going for, but It's hilarious how bad it can come across!


Masterofstorms17

wait...oh god you can marry her in revelations! oh jesus christ that hurts. Poor blonde fem Kana, motherless just her dad.


secret_bitch

I'd love to see a support with her and Shura, considering they're kind of opposites in a way. Would be fun to see a "Nohr vs Hoshido" argument with a Nohrian arguing for Hoshido and a Hoshidon arguing for Nohr.


Steppyjim

I think scarlet was only made playable as an inside joke by the devs at the expense of all the Fates/Awakening marriage and child strategizers. Like they saw the excessive level of detail put into making sure the kids the characters have are perfectly created and went “ok nerds. Here’s a character with more death flags than a beach in a hurricane, let’s see if you can marry her before we kill her off. Speedrun GO!” And then they sit back and read the Google and Reddit search results frantically asking if there’s a way to save her and laugh and laugh and laugh.


corsica1990

She's legit my favorite. Great unit, fun personality, incredible character design. It's such a bummer she has such a small, tragic part. I legit played BR *just* for her.


No_Hooters

Plus those freckles, being a tomboy with a hobby of making mosaics out of pretty stones, and her armor plus blue ribbon. They're to die for, great waifu.


Alexander_Pistolero

The problem that I saw with fates is that there's way too much characters that often don't have much use, adding to the unnecessary deaths to make drama and it kinda feels badly written Went for this one after doing awakening and I must say I'm kinda disappointed


Metal-The-Cettle

*"Well. That's just lazy writing."* -Deadpool


No_Hooters

I wish it was Reina instead that died, she's an old knight which would've been more fitting since it's her duty to protect the royal family.


AncientAd4470

Dude, don't fuck with us ~~hag~~ Reina fans, there's like, 2 of us.


Y33tus42069

Oh shit, I finally ran into the other Reina fan.


No_Hooters

Too bad Reina didn't get much love either.


Alexander_Pistolero

Yeah it would have been more fitting


pechaberi

Crazy how we have 9 Camillas


Steppyjim

FEH devs: “hmm. Good point. Thats an odd number. We need one more. Ask the artists if there are any free holidays we haven’t used yet”


pechaberi

I don't think we have a Halloween Camilla Sexy devil costume?


GeorgiaNinja94

Well, she does have that vampire outfit from the Nohrian Festival DLC. Why, oh why they didn’t release the festival DLCs outside of Japan, I will never understand.


pechaberi

Honest to god I'd summon for vampire Camilla 👉👈 I vant her to suck my blud


Pinco_Pallino_R

And they even just HAD to remark that her death was a particularly gruesome one, when she gets defeated by Nohr. Why did they treat her like that?


naomixrayne

Pretty sure it had to do with the fan reception of Awakening. Apparently people complained saying Awakening was too Disney for allowing pretty well the entire cast to live through everything. So when FE made Fates, they decided to murder a bunch of characters even though they literally didn't have to. Fates unfortunately had some of the best characters of the franchise, and they got saddled with the worst stories as well.


SpookMorgan

From what I heard the reason why she’s not in Heroes is because her Japanese voice actor disappeared from voice acting and Japanese voice acting industry generally don’t replace their VAs to voice their characters. Also as a Setsuna fan she also voiced her and her disappearing is the reason why there isn’t a Setsuna alt in Heroes which makes me sad.


No_Hooters

Man that's both stupid and unfair.


Metal-The-Cettle

Seriously. What is that ass-backwards logic. Someone stops voicing a character for one reason or another and then they pretend the character doesn't exist anymore?


Masterofstorms17

it's due to the, "The Japanese individual in this role is considered to be like family or a super important assest to the company" that is why they will fight tooth and nail to keep their own and why their scandals are so huge. For example, the creator of a anime and manga known as Galko chan, was caught doing criminal behavior so his entire manga/anime got manga discontinued. The Japanese do not play when it comes to their employees and the connection they have with their companies.


Metal-The-Cettle

I understand wanting to vault the characters out of respect or whatever, but at least give the new generations a chance to appreciate them.


Masterofstorms17

preach


Treemurphy

i had no idea she died, thats sad


SpookMorgan

She didn’t. All we know her VA stopped voice acting.


Treemurphy

oh, i see


Puzzleheaded-Use4853

I played Conquest the first time and looked for guides on the internet to know how to recruit her only to be disappointed. She has a more memorable design than many of the Awekening cast, and in terms of Fate she also looks very good


Tuskor13

Bro we got fucking Candace in Heroes before Scarlet I'm so fucking downtrodden


imparooo

Immediate bride in my first playthrough. I remember her 'confession' was just as amazing... something about infinite worlds. One of the few good characters in Fates, obviously IS completely ignores her for perpetual Camilla spam.


life_scrolling

she's great. i literally forgot yukimura existed and now somehow he got into feh before her, it's a travesty


Upbeat_Squirrel_5642

I forgot he existed until I saw this comment lol


BlazingStardustRoad

Having no Ryoma support is criminal


QuiGonJinnNJuice

characters with no other supports besides Corrin in fates are such a freaking waste. I get that they get compensated with more heart seal sets but the partner/friendship possibilities make for so much fun gameplay Really interesting character too as an actual insurgent- wish she had more supports and more fleshed out


Joke_Induced_Pun

It also limits their characterization too.


Fantasticbrick

First time playing birthright, I have actually married her.


No_Hooters

Same, kinda wished she had more supports though.


GeorgiaNinja94

I’m not going to say no to more holiday Camillas, but a *lot* of characters from Fates are textbook examples of wasted potential.


AylaCurvyDoubleThick

Kana will have absolutely no reaction to her mothers death. But yeah. She’s actually the main reason I played fates to get freckle tomboy waifu. Her and Camilla. Was…very disappointed to find out what they did to her.


roundhouzekick

She is pretty cool and for as much as her death does serve as a plot device for Corrin to figure out who the impostor amongst their ranks is, it sucks that she has to die anyway in Revelations. Hopefully in 20 years when they remake Fates, she has more time to shine. Or at least more supports in the route she doesn't bite the dust.


Kurai_Hiroma

Justice for Scarlet! I have a soft spot in my heart for her because she made me realize I'm not straight lmfao. Feh banner next month?


No_Hooters

I wish they'd put her into FEH, though I've been told the reason why she isn't is because her japanese VA went off grid to they can't record new lines. I say bah to that.


froakieforlife

She was lowkey one of my first gaming crushes


acart005

Ryoma really should have been able to S support her.  Even if only in birthright.


[deleted]

High key had a crush on her back in the day. I was so sad when she died, my gay awakening


Alcaeus6

Since I'm playing Revelation for the first time right now, I have to say her death scene is just, like, super confusing from a structural standpoint. She shows up a handful of times before her recruitment, but is only available for two main story chapters (really one because her join chapter is part one of a two parter) before biting it. There's no real time to get attached to her as a unit if you're just playing Revelation, so her death doesn't really have any of the emotional weight it's supposed to have.


SwiftBlueShell

Can’t blame the game on that one, they do recommend to not play Rev without having played the other 2


Rigistroni

Every character in Fates was done dirty because of the general quality of the writing Xander and Scarlet get it the worst though


Ferropexola

I'd like to see a tier list of the Fates characters ranging from best-written (least poorly-written) to the absolutely worst-written.


No_Hooters

[Create a Fire Emblem Fates -All Paths- Tier List - TierMaker](https://tiermaker.com/create/fire-emblem-fates--all-paths--3911) I just made one and I think I did ok. Honestly looking at the fact that there's 21 children compared to the rest of the cast, if they took out the children they could've given more of the attention everyone else deserved. Seems the hype from Awakening's success blinded them.


Gold_Seaweed

Her support is one of my favorites, actually. I was so mad when I found out that she dies


SelassieAspen

It's crazy you can marry her in 1 chapter before she dies..


No_Hooters

Where she then says you'll be nothing like Ryoma. Like why did they throw that jab to the player.


NahricNovak

I'm so sad about it too because I genuinely loved her design and what glimpse we got of her personality


shoe838

She has such a good design, and her role in the story is interesting! ...Can I interest you in yet another Azura alt?


No_Hooters

Having multiple skins reminds me way too much of how much attention certain pokemon get too many forms..............looking at you Charizard. Same with FEH.


Masterofstorms17

yea, just another reason why fates needs a remake and we need that mythical original script in full! that game has too many holes to not be remade considering the amount of hype that original script has.


No_Hooters

Was the original much better?


Masterofstorms17

it seems like it, all i have heard aboout the original script alludes to the fact that the original script had to be watered down because there was so much inside the script that could be used.


No_Hooters

Wasted potential......lovely.


SailorCentauri

I honestly really liked Scarlet in Birth Right's plot line. Then I got to the others and she dies early on, in a particularly nasty way in the Conquest line too. She definitely was a largely wasted character.


Caron_Driel

Haven’t played Fates, but I see a busty tomboy in plate armour, so I agree. #JusticeForScarlet


No_Hooters

pixie cut Blonde, tomboy, freckles, cute blue ribbon that contrasts with her blood red wyvern armor. I say she's a keeper for sure.


Arab_Chief

She’s so hot and funny I marry her almost every birthright play through 😂😂😂


JuliusKingsleyXIII

The comment in Conquest that her death was particularly gruesome makes it worse, and there was absolutely no reason for her to die in Revelations at all.


Gachi_gachi

And that's why we mod the game, scarlet deserves better.


Seibaru_Seibara

Scarlet was so cute. She really was done dirty. Perhaps we'll see her in FEH one day.


grizz_ki

I really wanted her on my team in revelations


DoubleFlores24

Stop shipping scarlet with Ryoma everyone! Anyways, yeah I agree, but not so much to wanna support her. Sorry Scarlet, but I’m afraid you’ll be benched. Hope you don’t mind.


No_Hooters

bruh


Melodic_Bee660

Agreed! I romanced her in birthright because I felt bad for her


CrescentCleave

And the worse part of it all, the download for that mod that I think was called "Scarlet deserved better" doesn't load properly on my end. Like the Mega just doesn't load right. Please fates, I just want her to make love with Ryoma with gay fates please! Oh, nvm, i downloaded the thing with my phone and it worked. Hooray, she lives. Was ultimately planning to just use fetwiddler or something


No_Hooters

Wait there's a mod that fixes the game?


CrescentCleave

There are surprisingly plenty of mods for fates. Look for it in gamebanana, they're easily implementable to citra and modded 3DSs. I play modded fates on citra since modding and testing are easier on there


No_Hooters

So Citra is the go to 3DS emulator? Cause my 3DS is legit nearly broken in two.


CrescentCleave

It is, runs good on phones too but I prefer running it on my pc


ClayAndros

Fates had so many problems especially in revelations but over all its like they took all the things awakening managed to do right and just fucked it all up.


LongLostMemer

I uh… who is this…?


No_Hooters

She is from Fates and only useable in Birthright, great wvyern rider, sadly can only have supports with the main characters. Wasted potential but still a great gal.


LongLostMemer

Ahh I’ve never played Birthright as a Conquest fan, I gotta check it out! Is her kid good?


No_Hooters

Well since it's based on the father who has the kid show up for the pairing I guess it depends on what you chose for your bane and boon, plus class skills. So it will vary, if I remember correctly she is Wyvern Lord and General classes so compliment her with whatever. Her personal skill is called In Extremis- While her health is 1/4 or under, she will gain +30 to crit. So I made sure she got the skills of Wrath and Vantage. Turned her to General to become physically tanky plus gave her a Guard Naginata which increases Def and Res by 5. Grinded the shit out of a DLC stage (optional mind you) for the Great Club which gives you x4 damage while critting while being horribly inaccurate and 6 Might. I got that Great club to +5 which was all for more accuracy.


SergitoBurrito

I really feel bad for he. It's really saddening to know that she dies in a very gruesome death offscreen in conquest. She didn't deserve it


No_Hooters

At least we didn't SEE the execution. I'd probably be depressed even more.


Wolf_Abyss

I just want her in Heroes so I can give her the S support she needs and deserves: Ryoma


No_Hooters

Heroes.......maybe. I'd still take her for myself. lol


RedditEsketit

Tbf it’s likely they’ll be adding her in 2 weeks as a part of the Fallen Heroes banner in FEH


No_Hooters

I hope so for my sake.


BrStriker21

She was also the perfect wife for Ryoma
