I wish I could always be with you. That’s all I want. Just…simple…togetherness.

While the games try to lead us to believe that Lorazieh is completely comatose from grief (literally unconscious 24/7), they just as frequently say he is "bed-ridden" (an unclear state of awareness) and in Chapter 15 Reyson says to Nealuchi "He seldom rises anymore" (seldom means 'rarely' and not 'never'). As a result, I am inclined to read his state during the games as more along the lines of "mostly unresponsive/unconscious, but at least somewhat lucid on rare occasions".

Lorazieh also likely has formshift, and I've found myself wondering: since he can freely shift between forms, which would he prefer? Does he stay transformed while his consciousness lapses? Do the cliffs of Phoenicis echo intermittently with his sorrowful cries while untransformed, or with a haunting dirge he wails as a heron?

#tellius #ough #though i do wonder if learning of leanne and later rafiel surviving would actually help improve his overall wellbeing #like obviously it won’t take away the pain of losing so much #but learning that not only one but three of his children managed to survive and are now living happily #would probably at least help lorazieh begin to recover

Galaxy brain moment. We know Awakening was a different team than the Tellius games. Do you think maybe the people who did the Priam DLC legit didn’t know the plot of the Tellius Games (or gave it a quick read and didn’t pay super close attention), assumed Soren was female based on his design and relationship to Ike, and legit designed Priam as a descendant of them both?

The truth is actually worse than you are imagining. Kouhei Maeda, who was an assistant scriptwriter to Tellius (thankfully not the main one) - and maybe the only writer who stayed with IS past RD - went on to become a director to FE12, FE13, FE14 and FEH. It’s easy to tell that he is a big fan of avatars and marriage/kids… and a subpar writer on his own.

Not only was he aware of the plot, but he was probably one of the few people who knew that in the alpha alpha version of it Senerio (Soren) was planned to be a woman, but they veered in a different direction when his story became too tragic. Heck, they later had a Q&A on the official site stating “Soren is a guy” since a notable chunk of JP players were still confused after playing PoR.

Coincidentally, Ike’s alpha alpha version name was Paris (localised as Priam). So the funny part becomes that only a person closely familiar with Tellius could have a “genius” thought about making this “kid”. Given Priam’s personality being largely opposite of Ike’s - probably as a joke, a slight riff/nod to the fans of the ship. Priam’s S support with FRobin is another slight nod.

#okay but what if this was maeda’s master plan all along #sticking it out at intsys and putting the minimum writing effort required to get him the role of director of fe13 #all for the sake of making ike and soren’s mpreg baby an actual thing #god damn it maeda
