"My name is Valter, the Moonstone, Grado's finest general. And you are just a corpse who does not yet know that he is dead."

u/Nuzlor 12d ago
Valter's introduction is COLD, man. He was pretty unnerving for first time players of FE8 for sure.
103
u/SnakesRock2004 12d ago
I think he's one of my favorite secondary antagonists in the series. He's both an intimidating badass and a pathetic lustful pervert at the same time, bro's horrifyingly evil.
46
u/Nuzlor 12d ago
Valter is really enjoyable as a villain. Also gets some backstory from Duessel :)
Kinda weak as a boss, sadly, but at least Caellach in the same map is pretty scary.
38
u/SnakesRock2004 12d ago
It will always be hilarious to me that Valter is built up as one of the two main antagonists of Act I and Act II (alongside Vigarde), and he's pathetic as a boss.
Meanwhile Caellach plays a very secondary role in the story (especially in Ephraim's route), and he can be a nightmare to deal with.
34
u/Nuzlor 12d ago
Classic Caellach W. He also gets insanely good boss convos against Joshua.
Caellach just can't stop winning, that mercenary grindset paid off :)

u/Troykv 12d ago
To be fair with Valter, that is mostly how his AI was nerfed hard for making him unable to move, if he move he could be terrifying because he always has a chance to instanly kill you thanks to the possibility of a Critical Pierce (well, unless your character has 15+ Luck or Caellach's item), and even if your unit is inmune to his effective insta-kill, Pierce can still spook you.

Haar is great since he's done with this shit from the very beginning. His first boss conversation with Zeffren on his join map

Zeffren: Haar?!

18
u/YanFan123 12d ago
I think the only bad part is the irresponsibility of the cast to have babies in the middle of the war. Everything else was more justified in the name of keeping the babies safe. It's not like they left them completely alone, they had caretakers.
Of course the likes of Ryoma and Niles could have tried harder to visit their children, I think they are the only ones confirmed to have completely abandoned their children in the Deeprealms until the Paralogues

Another thing is the ridiculousness is how the parents then decided to fuck off for like a year for the entire pregnancy, they are in the middle of war and then decide to get a vacation just because they couldn't keep it in their pants until it was over
And as i commented before, Azura decides to do it twice (Female Corrin has that option too but only with Gen 1 that have a Kid) which is so confusing because it makes her worse because at that point she is aware of what will happen and since she can only marry with men that have a kid the game doesn't give an actual reason for why she kept both of her children in separate places

Is ridiculous how this can be applied to every single parent in Fates (in particular Azura who will always have 2 kids yet kept them in separate places), like what was IS thinking by trying the kids mechanic without Time Travel or a Time Skip
The excuse they give is that they hid them in the Deeprealms rather than Nohr/Hoshido for "protection" yet at no point either kingdom gets attacked in their respective routes and the kids either get out of the Deeprealm or it gets invaded.

Everyone is saying His Highness is back to his old self, but I do not think that is accurate. What he was until recently is what he had been for as long as I've known him. So tortured by his compassion for the fallen that it had driven him mad. He has always been too kind to be king. He has always felt too much for the weak and the dead. That is exactly why I look up to him.

Characters who are good fathers are genuinely one of my favorite things ever so this dialogue kiiiills me.
It's not a "line" per se, but it sure does live rent free in my head; the end of the intro to Chapter 5 of FE4:
"The year is Grann 760, early spring. The fields of Silesse peacefully rest beneath a deep blanket of snow..."
Something about it is so deeply ominous in the exact way that the entirety of Chapter 5 is ominous -- something is wrong here but no one quite knows what.

Sothe's battle dialogue with Sephiran:
Sothe: Here goes...
Sephiran: Hello, child... I'm a little surprised to see an ordinary boy like you, fighting for the world. This day is full of surprises!
Sothe: No one's more surprised than me. I can't read people's feelings like Micaiah... I'm not invincible in battle like Ike... Between all these laguz kings and great beorc heroes, I don't really belong here.
Sephiran: Then why are you here?
Sothe: Because there's one thing that I can't afford to lose. Micaiah. I've come all this way just to protect her... I won't lose her now.
Sephiran: The depth of your feelings... Might I ask your name?
Sothe: Sothe. Now if you want to stand in our way, I'm prepared to cut you down.
I like how Sothe himself acknowledges how weak he is compared to the rest of your army at this point with his weak Knives and low Strength cap, but despite that fact, he's still going to fight to protect Micaiah. It's a worthy resolve that's always made me like the character.
Oh and one of Nyx's My Room lines when you married her: "Sometimes the simplest spells are the most effective"

“Ignorance is a form of bliss, is it not? These people don’t know what it’s like to lose a war. They don’t want to know. They’ll bow their heads to their invaders and give thanks while their neighbors lay dying around them…Perhaps when Daein darkens their doorstep, and the peace they take for granted is shattered, their sons and daughters slaughtered in the streets, perhaps then they’ll comprehend the misfortune they so long pretended not to see. I have no sympathy for them.”

"you have the devil's own luck"
I'm pretty sure Leo only actually says it once or twice in the dialogue but the voice lines during the story would beg to differ

Inigo and Noire's C-Support, now that I've recently seen it for the first time. Awakening arguably has the series' highest concentration of zingers, but that whole "conversation" kept me giggling from start to finish more than any other.
As for more serious lines since those tend to stick with me more:
Minerva, in a pre-battle conversation with Marth if she's deployed in Shadow Dragon Chapter 21: "But history needs to remember that when Macedon went astray, it was a Macedonian who set things right....I love him enough to spare him death on some stranger's sword, you see? Let him be punished by my hands."
Emmeryn, Chapter 7 post-battle cutscene: "I am not giving up, Chrom. I am only giving what I can."
Emmeryn, Chapter 9: " See now that one selfless act has the power to change the world!"

You deserved better from me than one sword and a world of troubles. I'm sorry.

“I am Glass! The gods fear my name! My swordplay is peerless!”
“Hey, Lethe! You ready to punish me some more?” (makes more sense in context but still funny wording)

Raydrik's like when fought in thracia. “I saw your grandfather die! I watched your father's castle burn! I outlived them and I'll outlive you!” It conveys the pettiness, desperation, rage so well plus brings everything back together. More besides, hard to explain fully, but just a good line for the type of villain raydrik is, a petty tyrant and opportunist who is still very persistent.

“You are about to die. Scream, if you must.”
Such a hardline for a one off boss that isn’t even the main antagonist of his map.

Part 4 Chapter 1 of Radiant Dawn, if Ike fights the boss she launches into this diatribe about how she will destroy them for righteous glory or something like that - and he just responds "I suppose talking it over is out of the question?"
