I guess this is still a controversial opinion in 2023, but… I think Micaiah is a good character. Like yeah I understand there are a lot of newer FE fans who are getting introduced to her through stuff like Engage and Heroes, but if you’ve been around as long as me you know that Micaiah probably was the “love or hate her” character of FE pre Edelgard/Rhea discourse.

I’m probably not gonna sway anyone who has already picked what side they fall on. I’m just gonna give you my opinion as one guy on the internet who has lived through a lot of discourse and what he thinks.

I think there are three primary complaints that people still pull out with her: She’s a Mary Sue, she’s dumb, and she’s a bad unit.

Now look, I’ll give you the bad unit. She’s a lord character that doesn’t have a lord build. She’s a light mage. Now Radiant Dawn is infamous for its difficulty and stat variation, so pairing an interesting idea of a lord who’s not a combative unit is an interesting idea on paper. But in execution it’s just really hard to play. So I get why people don’t like her as a unit.

The Mary Sue argument I’ve never been a fan of however. Yes, she has special healing powers, future sight, and all the apostle powers. But like… That’s kinda just what a lot of FE lord characters get? They get a special weapon only they can use, they have a magic blood that gives them power, they are secretly the descendant of some ultra important person or god and they’re destined for something. Like it’s kinda always just been there with FE lord characters. Hell, even non lord avatar characters like Robin and Byleth are just secretly reincarnations of gods. I think with Micaiah the issue comes in that she’s in the same game as Ike. Who was bucking the trend as a playable character that wasn’t a lord, wasn’t magically destined for anything, and isn’t secretly a child of some Uber royal. So Micaiah does feel like an oddity, but I’d argue this does create an interesting conflict of a traditional MC vs a non traditional one.

And finally the “she’s dumb” argument. So I understand that games are an interactive medium. And people value being able to make their own choices. But in the intersection of narrative and gameplay focused games, there are characters and events we don’t have control of. Micaiah makes a choice to liberate her homeland but doesn’t want to be its ruler. When Pelleas the son of Ashnard comes along and seems like a good guy, she gives it to him. This makes sense from Micaiah’s perspective-despite loving her country she doesn’t want to rule it. So when a seemingly good individual with recognized lineage comes in, she’s willing to give it up. But we the audience can see this is flawed, Sothe in game mentions this. And ultimately Micaiah’s choice is what brings Daein under Begnion. Where now she has to do things she doesn’t like in a desperate war.

I feel like in media there’s a criticism of “why don’t these characters do the logical thing that I would’ve done in this situation.” And I think games as an interactive medium enhance that as they want to make their own choices. But in a narrative a character doesn’t always need to make logical sense. A character can exist independent of what the player wants and takes actions that the viewer may disagree with. But an action a character takes that they may disagree with isn’t inherently a sign of bad writing. I personally believe that if it makes sense for the character within the context of the story, they are capable of making mistakes. And often times these flaws are what facilitates character development/introspection.

So when Micaiah makes her choice to not be ruler, it makes sense from the perspective of someone not interested in ruling. However, her choice has consequences, ultimately forcing her to do more of the things she was trying to avoid. And even if Pelleas lives or dies, Micaiah by the end of the story is now queen out of obligation rather than personal interest. The game at least seems self aware of audience would react to a flawed decision by having Sothe be the voice of obvious concern. But let’s for a moment think if she did the logical thing. Had Micaiah just held onto power at first and did nothing, there really wouldn’t be a plot for Daein or a journey for Micaiah. And it probably be a much more dull story.

Characters are allowed to be flawed and make mistakes. Make choices we don’t personally agree with. But the important thing is that flawed actions have actual consequences to them. And basically all of Daein suffering from someone who made a bad choice and is now living through it and ultimately has to rise to the position that she denied in the first place is a suitable consequence.

I think actual bad choices in narratives tend to be actions that have no real conflict as the plot needs to bend to make that choice make sense or justify a bad choice. Rather than an action having a tangible consequence that needs to be dealt with internally or externally.

So yes, Micaiah made a dumb call in Radiant Dawn. And it led to an interesting story and character development.

Now I do have issues with Micaiah: I don’t like that Yune ultimately takes over for most of part 4. I don’t like that there are no supports in RD so I had to wait till Engage to see how she may feel about certain characters. Yes, I think that she is ultimately eclipsed by the true MC of the game Ike. And yes, I don’t like her future sight. I have never liked precognition as a storytelling concept. I’m just not a fan of its inclusion.

That said, I don’t dislike Micaiah. I do actually find her an interesting character who was allowed to be flawed and not fall into the newer FE game trap of trying make her more likeable/actually secretly in the right the whole time. And maybe it’s weird that something like this discourse is still kinda around. But with stuff like Engage and talks FE4 reboot and just a general Tellius conversation still existing I felt like I might as well say where I stand on who used to be the most controversial FE character.

Poll 144 - Sothe

Please do not criticize any art you may not like or compare one art to another in terms of quality, it's unkind and downplays the amount of work that the feh artists put into them. Please treat the feh artists how you would as any other artist - with kindness and with love.

Artists in order: Kusugi Toku, Daisuke Izuka, Kita Senri

Hypothetical Path of Radiance Support, Soren and Sothe

I would have liked there to be more supports for Soren in Path of Radiance considering how important he is to the plot. I also would have liked to have seen more of how sensitive he is to the moods of others beyond Ike, as Titania suggests that he has always been empathetic to people in Chapter 11 of the game.

Also, since Soren spent a number of years in his childhood looking for someone important to him, and Sothe is currently looking for someone important to him in the game I feel it would have been a good opportunity to explore their parallels (especially considering how important Sothe is in Radiant Dawn).

So, here is a script format of what I believe their support conversation line could have been like in Path of Radiance.

Support Ranks 2/6/11

[C Support, First viewable at Chapter 13 A Guiding Wind Base]

[Soren appears on far left side]

Soren: …Hmm…nothing left here… Hm?

[Sothe appears on far right side]

Sothe: …

Soren: We already know you’re here. Why are you hiding?

Sothe: …Habit.

Soren: You’re Sothe, right?

Sothe: Yeah, that's my name. …

Soren: …Ike said you came aboard to look for someone in Begnion?

Sothe: Yeah.

Soren: A member of your family?

Sothe: It's-- …sigh…She's special to me. Family works, I guess.

[Branching Conversation, Chapter 13-17]

Soren: Begnion is a large country, larger than Crimea. It will be difficult to track her down.

[Branching Conversation, Chapter 18 on]

Soren: We’re going to be marching a lot during this war. It will be difficult to track her down.

[Conversation Continues]

Sothe: I tracked her down to Port Toha from the other side of Crimea. I'll find her.

Soren: … …I wish you luck finding this person. We'll be heading out soon, make sure you don't leave anything behind.

Sothe: Sure. …Thanks.

[B Support, First viewable at Chapter 18 Crimea Marches Base]

[Soren appears on middle right side. Sothe appears on far left side.]

Soren: Have you had any luck finding her?

Sothe: No.

[Branching Conversation, Chapter 18]

Sothe: …She had been to Sienne, but she left a while ago.

Soren: What will you do now? Do you have any clues?

Sothe: They said she headed north. Nobody in the town we just passed knew her, though.

Soren: If you keep going north with us, you'll be heading to Daein, and there will be war. It won't be easy to search for her.

Sothe: …I think she's headed to Daein.

[Branching Conversation, Chapter 19 on]

Sothe: …I found a few people who had seen her in Sienne, but she had left there a long time ago. They said she had headed north, to Daein. I was hoping to find some clues around the army…but…nothing…

Soren: If you want to keep looking for her, you may need to reconsider staying with us…battles can break out at any time, it won’t be safe to keep searching for her as we march.

[Conversation continues]

Sothe: I don't mind the danger, and she's-- …She's good at staying out of trouble…

Soren: …You'll feel better when you see her safe.

Sothe: Um… You-- you think so?

Soren: Until then, you should trust in your ability to find her, and her ability to stay out of trouble.

Sothe: I think the fastest way to find her now will be to win this war against Daein so all the fighting can stop.

Soren: That's probably true. We'll be setting out at first light, so get some rest.

Sothe: …Thanks for taking the time to talk to me.

Soren: …You're welcome.

[A Support, first viewable from Chapter 24 Battle Reunion Base]

[Sothe appears on far left side]

Sothe: Rrgh…

[Soren appears on middle left side]

Soren: If you keep stabbing your dagger into the ground, the blade will dull.

Sothe: …

[Sothe's eyes close]

Sothe: …

Soren: …You didn't find out she died, did you?

[Sothe's eyes open]

Sothe: Hm?! … …No, it's--

[Branching conversation, Chapter 24]

Sothe: …The next town over is where she left me. I woke up in the morning, and she was gone.

[Branching conversation, Chapter 25 on]

Sothe: …A while ago we passed by the town where she left me. I woke up one morning, and she was gone.

[Conversation continues]

Soren: Oh, that's--

Sothe: I just don't understand it! We had been talking about how much fun we were going to have, exploring Crimea. It sounded so much nicer than Daein. And-- And she just left me… …

Soren: …You'll find her again, and you can ask her about it yourself.

Sothe: …I don't know if I can. I want to. But it's been so long.

Soren: … …I spent some time looking for someone special to me when I was about your age…

Sothe: Really?

Soren: It seemed impossible at the time, but I found them after a while. I had to. You'll find her.

Sothe: You're right. I will…

Soren: People don't really remember names, especially of those passing through their lives. They remember things that make certain people stand out, hair, or eyes, or their energy. If you focus on what makes her unique, you'll have more luck.

Sothe: … …Thanks. When this is all over, I'll try that.

#telliues #fe9 #soren #fe soren #sothe #fe sothe #fan support #fan written support #the parallels between Ike and Soren's relationship and Sothe and Micaiah's relationship are staggering and largely ignored by the games #I can't ignore them though #Like Soren and Micaiah are Branded being accepted by beorc Ike and Sothe #But also Soren and Sothe were the starving kids being rescued by very bright and kind people like Micaiah and Ike #And I think Soren would actually emphasize with Sothe more than Micaiah between the two of them

Yamato: …You saying Sharena's cooking doesn't suit your fancy? I'll have you know I ate an egg sandwich that Sharena made once upon a time, and it was so good that I asked for seconds 20 times.

Sothe: 20 seconds?! 0_0

Yamato: Yup! And lemme tell ya, her cooking surpasses even that of Asuna and/or Ellie's skills.
