Remember that topic about wow moments in games? Yeah well I forgot to post a really recent one from, you guessed it, Fire Emblem Awakening.
First watch the intro cutscene:

Now watch the sacrifice ending cutscene:

As I watched this after having accidentally having skipped it the first time I beat the boss I went through a wide range of reactions;
"The intro again...?
"Oh don't tell me they're going to pull that time-loop shit."
"Oh, the mark is gone? At least something cha-"
"Welcome back. It's over now.""KISS ME, YOU FOOL."
Seriously this ending pretty much made the game for me, and then to cap it all off?
Quote from: Ending ScreenMany wrote of jkid's legendary exploits, but accounts of her origins and character varied. Scholars, poets, and bards agreed on one thing alone—she loved her husband, Chrom, above all else.
I fangirled all over the place. Still cleaning the mess up two nights later.
Same, except with Lissa instead of Chrom... cause my avi is a dude.
And Cause Lissa's the best thing ever.
Still cleaning that mess up. It was a dozy.
Let it be known that this is one of the few video game endings that actually made me d'awww so f*cking hard I ended up teary eyed.
Don't feel bad. It hit me pretty hard too.
I just wish there was more. I feel like that game was too good to just end. Give me a fucking sequel or a spin-off series or SOMETHING.
I want more adventures of Chrom and jkid.
I also like that they went with the DBZ logic of time travel, which is my favourite time travel theory personally.
My favorite is the one where it's not possible.
Now I wanna see what happens when this timeline version of the children are born. Will they interact with them like siblings? Ignore them completely? Or be a close "family friend"?
I think I talked about this with the guys on GoW before. I think we all agreed that they'd be treated like siblings to the original. I mean, I don't think Chrom is going to have two kids named Lucina. He probably wound up changing the baby's legal name.
Lucina jr?
Could be a total dick and name the new kid Marth.
Could be a bigger dick and name Cynthia/Morgan Marth.
Nah. It makes more sense for the Lucina baby.
Cynthia can use Falchion tho =U
Just let her hair down, give her the suit and BAM.
All of the children can use Falchion if they're related to Lucina.
But Cynthia's the cutest...
You have no taste in characters, I swear.
Kjelle is obviously the cutest child.
Kjelle is nice, But I like Cynthia more. She's all bubbly and hyper while being sweet, makes me wanna hug her.
Usually I like that but for some reason I just couldn't warm up to Cynthia. I mean, I use her in my team because I bothered to give her Galeforce but still.
Why not? She values family and seems really fun to hang out with, and she's cute, what's not to like?
*shrug*
If I knew why I didn't care for her I'd have told you by now.
So like, what happens if you choose to let Chrom deal the final blow?
You get a slightly different ending which is just like the normal one except with you there and without that final cutscene.
Only for our greatx4 grandchildren to deal with this shit...
