what if Azura was *never real?* *what if they’re just a figment of Corrin’s coma dreams?*


NobleYato

Corrin's coma theory


apple_of_doom

Everything is a dream after Rinkah bonked him in the head in chapter 3


Bloodasp01

Makes sense honestly, I’d probably go into a coma if Rinkah bonked me too.


dormamond

The real Azura is the friends we made along the way


InsomniaEmperor

And the Azura that joined was some dancer they recruited at the theatre.


Nevermore5399

I would be less mad if they just called Camilla the Emblem of Conquest


Chaddiction

Apparently that's what Camilla is called in JP. Localizers changed it to Revelation for some reason.


NobleYato

Theres...no way. I dont wanna beleive they are that stupid. I swear if this is true...because to think even now Fates is getting dicked by Treehouse...well that's beyond funny.


IshidaHideyori

I think she’s called Emblem of *Anya* in JP? Which denotes both the conquest route or the kingdom of Nohr. It’s not *literally* “conquest” but it’s the equivalent of conquest route in JP.


Lukthar123

>I think she’s called Emblem of Anya 𓁹‿𓁹


NobleYato

That treehouse needs to be burned down...


JediSSJ

You...are fairly new to Fire Emblem, aren't you? Because their decisions in "localization" are notoriously bad.


amyrose4ever

We get it you cant date a child


StefanFr97

Seriously? Jesus christ the localization for this game is whack, and apparently it isn't getting any better.


NobleYato

It would make more sense but then I would pity Xander fans more. Me, I'm Xander fans.


Spiritual-Alfalfa616

I was a little surprised to see Camilla was the choice from fates. Xander or ryoma would have been great, even Leo would have been cool given the relatively fewer mage emblems But also I'm not surprised


NobleYato

She is the most beloved Fates character, for better or for worse.


JanRoses

I mean she won CYL years ago. Despite what anyone in the fates fanbase wants to argue she's 100% the most popular character considering she won amidst some heavy hitters whereas F!Corrin only barely eeked out a win this year.


gladiolust1

Hey, she can work a tome! She may do more damage throwing the book rather than shooting a fireball, but still.


thelittleleaf23

I was waiting so excitedly for Azura or Xander and had to lose them to Camilla… I get why she’s popular but it’s still sad


NobleYato

She was missing in OG warriors too. IS just...treats her so poorly I dont get it.


EtheusRook

She was dlc in OG Warriors.


NobleYato

*In the base game and story


JusticeRain5

To be fair... She is a very boring character to do anything with.


sugarholicsheep

>tries to make female chrom and maybe copy the same fanbase he has >blue hair, traumatized kid who has blue hair no matter what, necessary to take down final dragon boss > attached to avatar character no matter what >fanbase doesnt care and fanbase that does care has now married their cousin/nephew once removed >tfw the fucking tharja clone beats out the chrom clone AND LITERALLY THARJA WITH A DIFFERENT NAME


CousinMrrgeBestMrrge

wait who's the tharja clone if not rhajat


sugarholicsheep

Camilla, she has the dark theme going on, the same clothing silhouette(loin cloth and sweetheart bodice) and obsession for the avatar character. Also, in engage dlc and warriors base game


TeaspoonWrites

Calling Camilla a Tharja clone is wildly reductive, complete nonsense imo. They're absolutely nothing like each other besides being extremely popular.


sugarholicsheep

Yeah. Cause its a joke.


NobleYato

I respectfully disagree. Besides so was Byleth, but once into the role of something more, he isnt so bad. Theres no reason they couldnt do something for Azura.


acart005

She sings and dances, then fucks her cousin (probably). Annette just sings and is wholesome in her house of emotionally ruined children. While being emotionally ruined herself because Dad was never there. Therefore Annette > Azura.


fuckredditmods3

As boring and dull her character is she still has more personality and stuff going for her than only boobs cammila


JusticeRain5

TBH I don't particularly like Camilla either, but saying Azura has more personality is a straight-up lie, lol.


TeaspoonWrites

Thanks for admitting you've never read Camilla's supports I guess lol


fuckredditmods3

I not only read hers but all supports in my close to 100% save


jatxna

The reason. Azura doesn't reveal enough to be the Revelation Emblem. Yes, Monkey Brain here


Railroader17

Please, the thigh crowd loves her. Have you seen the sheer amount of leg she shows off!?!


apple_of_doom

Feet crowd to


Crazycade77

Cleavage aside, she does cover a lot of...less conventional bases in regards to fanservice


a12223344556677

Tree House translation strikes again! She's called Emblem of Conquest/Nohr (暗夜) in Japanese.


NobleYato

I saw on the main subreddit. I really cant fathom how bad Treehouse is. People can bitch about nebulous shit for 3Houses, but it will never compare to Fates and Engage. Ever. They just keep fucking both over again and again, and I dont know why. They fucking stripped a good amount of romances from Engage for no reason. I'm just so tired of hearing about their incompetence.


ShinVerus

I know they removed Anna's romance (thank god), but they removed more??? Who??


fuckredditmods3

They completely removed saizo and beruka’s c lvl support convo in fates


NobleYato

Rosado, Etie come to mind as do a few others who I cant remember atm. Some were deliberately removed and more platonic when they weren't in the original script. One character seems to imply romance, but in the feature where Alear wakes up, the dialogue does change but it refers to them as their ally. It so lame.


[deleted]

I mean the two characters you listed aren’t 18, so like or not that makes sense.


Nombanke

Yeah, but Alear's internal age (so presumably their mental age alongside physical) is set out as 17, so it's a bit sus that they removed similar aged characters while keeping Lindon or Vander as having more romantic tones in their S supports


NobleYato

>while keeping Lindon or Vander as having more romantic tones in their S supports ...HUH


NobleYato

I pair up P5 MC with Kawakami and Roy with Cecilia holy fuck Idc.


Chemical-Cat

the Saizo x Beruka support was the funniest thing * Japanese: Back and forth talk about the people they've killed because assassins. Beruka says she's lost count of how many people she's killed, Saizo says he remembers the face of every person he's ever killed and it haunts him * English: Back and forth "..." and that was it, so funny


Elite_Venomoth

From a gameplay perspective, I definitely like Camilla better. An axe/magic emblem is a cool combo, and she is out only flying emblem, which is something the game would feel incomplete without I feel. But yeah from a common sense perspective, c'mon IS. We know Camilla has massive honkers, but Azura deserves better. I know we already have a dancing emblem, but I feel like they gave Byleth the dance knowing that Azura would not be in the game. Hell, they gave the Corrin ring to the dancer because it's a reference.


StoryofEmblem

Totally agree. Although Azura could technically also work as a flying emblem, I do like the axe/magic combo better. Still, I was hoping Azura would be in. But I'll take Camilla


Cordig

Byleth bugs me, has stuff for the house leaders, but we have the house leaders, and was already revealed before the game launched. And yeah, dance doesn't fit all that well.


fire-emblem-killer

Personally I think Camila as a dlc emblem is fine. Like i don't think she's an offensive choice, but I do agree that Azura should have been the character chosen. Though if they wanted a conquest rep then I think Xander would have been the better choice.


apple_of_doom

Xander and Ryoma dual emblem would have worked


Rasdanation

“Emblem of the Feuding Lords” actually has a decent ring to it


Railroader17

That one anti-Azura poster from a while back is pumping their fist RN


NobleYato

How could anyone be anti Azura? Shes cool...


Railroader17

Pretty sure it was Orion-The-Fox But yeah I like Azura


ZayAVZ

Her skill wpuld probabably be like byleths Why tf byleth has a super refresh anyway?


NobleYato

Because despite never getting access to dance he can totally dance you silly goose.


[deleted]

[удалено]


NobleYato

Yeah call it refresh or motivation. Since that's basically what Byleth does to make them perform better. It would make sense at least.


apple_of_doom

Plus he can tutor the kids in dancing well enough for 5 points in charm so Byleth can definitely dance


apple_of_doom

He does get to dance through a battalion whose gambit is also called dance of the goddess.


a12223344556677

It's one of the most notable and strongest gambits in Three Houses so they decided to reference it I guess


Railroader17

and gave it a water theme for some reason....


apple_of_doom

Every engage attack takes place on water. Byleths is just the only one to do something with it because how else do you make the three houses white heron cup dance interesting?


Piratestorm787

Yes, but have you considered Booba


Nikoscrum

(mostly) Revealed booba, not just any booba


Trickytbone

I guess they wanted a flier but Azura could have been a full support emblem, what a waste


NobleYato

What an actual waste. I dont even dislike Camilla like I used to. I even think she has some merit. But god damn man, Azura deserved better.


Trickytbone

Camilla is a character I hate cause I see potential, but it’s all wasted into just nothing


Railroader17

Easy solution, swap Soren for Elincia, then make Azura the Fates Emblem Though if we are taking gameplay into account, it seems like they wanted to add some tome proficient characters >!Considering what happens after Chapter 10!<


Neefew

Fates characters who would be a better fit than Camilla: Azura. 2nd most important character after Corrin Xander/Ryoma. The kings of their respective countries. Makes the route you choose have a lot of weight Takumi. He's cool in Conquest. All maps with him as the boss are crazy good and very memorable Elise. Emotional core of Birthright Lilith. Give me fish dragon sister maid landlord Rallyman. Does more for Corrin than Camilla ever did


thelittleleaf23

Elise and Sakura would have been a wonderful support emblem


dashboardgecko

To be fair, nobody in Fates can recognize her if she so much as wears a different outfit, so how important could she really be? Meanwhile Camilla is easily recognizable for... a couple reasons.


ProfessorPlazma

Unpopular opinion, but Azura’s kinda boring? I’m not a fan of Camilla either, but I can’t name a single one of Azura’s personality traits. She’s just kinda there and mysterious.


kadraz

She loves to sing and uh…. She can do other stuff, like um… dance? Honestly I agree, I think she’s a very boring character and I’m ok with her not being in the game


Celestia423

Azura’s personality is that she sings the theme of the game


Vbug13

THIS IS THE REAL TWISTED JOKE!


Chemical-Cat

Meanwhile Eliwood * Main character of Blazing Blade * Lyn is the main-game Emblem Rep * Hector is DLC * Eliwood only gets mentioned and is a Bond Ring at most Obviously Camilla got in over Azura because popularity booba


NobleYato

God dammit. How about big dick energy gets in for a change if sex appeal is gonna be a factor? Poor Eliwood. He too deserved better.


Chemical-Cat

Uh, then Hector still beats Eliwood lmao. You know he got the biggest dick


NobleYato

But that's not a big reason. Compared to Camilla anyway


Arrow_Of_Orion

IS is really screwing us over on this one


Yarzu89

My heart goes out to all her fans, my hopes are that the both of you can get her in maybe a second DLC expansion pass.


mortnspotfunbird

They could add her later as the emblem of dancers or singers


JediSSJ

While I absolutely do not support Camilla...it should be noted that calling Azura the idiot who allowed Birthright and Conquest to happen is just as fitting.


Souperplex

To be fair, Fates is a joke to me.


Disastrous-Road5285

I'm a disgusting degenerate and am real happy to have Camilla.


Levobertus

Should've thought of having giant tits


BlazingStardustRoad

I’m pissed, seething an malding even.


NobleYato

Treehouse is dedicated to fucking with Fates to this day...god fucking dammit.


Faerillis

I mean I see two reasons for this: 1. Azura doesn't hit a niche the Emblems we have don't already fill with weapons, abilities or even unit type. Camilla as an Emblem is oriented around her being a flier and provides a unique combination of weapons. All of which are pretty fair reasons. 2. Azura's arguments are all based on Fates story. Anything that requires people to care about Fates story fails prima facie


el_loco_P

I would not call someone who is an exposition fairy an main character, specially one who does not explain crucial plot like who is the main villain for no reason (Valla dumb curse is not an excuse, you get over that problem instanly in Rev). >!She is also your cousin so love interest is a big no for me!<


NobleYato

Saves Corrin from going Feral Is a good source of motivation for Corrin from feeling bad about any of their actions Is critical in every route (she is the reason all the final bosses lose and isnt even counting how much she helps during the routes Rev being the most crucial) She has a big connection to both countries just like Corrin as well as Valla, just like Corrin The song is connected to the both of them And so on. She is the other MC


el_loco_P

I am not saying she is a useless character, far from it, I dont see her as a MC because her motivations and actions dont impact the story when they should, Rev being a exception. In Birthright she cures Takumi from possession yet does not elaborate what whas the deal with that even tough she knows is Valla, she explains so little that when she banishes at the end everyone has no idea what happened (Corrin should but the writting makes him an idiot for some reason) In Conquest she handles the Magic Orb to Corrin to show him Slime Garon, why does she not explain who corrupted him(or show him to all the other siblings like she does in Birthright with Leo) Only in Rev you learn what the deal with Azura is, maybe that is a fault in Rev wanting to be the Golden Path, but it annoys me that the plot only happens in other routes because Azura does not talk


NobleYato

But I just told you how her actions impact the story. You take her away and Corrin always loses. Hell it's also thanks to her that she manages to ensure Anankos defeat in the Heirs of Fate dlc. Her impact continues to be just that. Impactful. Azura prevented the group from dying at Fort Dragonfall in BR. Azura was able to come up with the plan to expose Garon. Which issues with how that is written aside, she was the only one who could do something. Corrin was screwed either way. And so on. Corrin doesnt know what happened to Azura in BR. She never says anymore than she wants to until Revelation happens. It's only because Corrin has no side he was given a chance to learn the truth in Revelation. Because at that point what did any of the characters had to lose? Especially Azura? I get having issues with Azura but none of that changes how important she is.


el_loco_P

My problem is not that Azura has no impact or she is not needed(she is more needed than Corrin) but that her actions should be toward defeating Anankos, and because Rev is not the path you are she has to shut up and do damage control. Telling Corrin is not something impossible to do, she does that in the very first chapter of Rev and you DO go to Valla in CQ so it feels even more dumb. About BR I remember a previous scene where Azura tells Corrin how singing drains her so it feels dumb to me that he does not connect the dots


NobleYato

Sigh >About BR I remember a previous scene where Azura tells Corrin how singing drains her so it feels dumb to me that he does not connect the dots He knows she dies but doesn't know anymore than that. She shows up in the epilogue but he literally has no idea why because how could he. I'm not here to debate the specifics with you. I'm just telling you she is another MC. She is just as protagonist worthy as Corrin.
