Conrad is another character who many criticize for being another character who turned out to be irrelevant to the story (and even I too agree with the sentiment), but I've never seen fans speculate why he was added into SoV's story compared to the other four.
Rinea's reasons for being added into SoV also wasn't stated by developers, but most fans agree that the reason she was added was probably to serve as a plot device that showed Berkut's good side in that he loves her with all his heart.īut then we are left with Conrad. Fans also speculate they were added to act as rivals/foils to their respective counterparts that has a major contribution to the plot (Berkut to Alm and Fernand to Clive) Looking at four of these new characters additions:įaye's reason for being added into SoV was something revealed by developers: it was to give more female representation in Alm's army (where Clair, Silque, and Tatiana were the only females recruited in Alm's route in Gaiden).įernand and Berkut's reasons for being added into SoV weren't stated by developers (as far as I'm aware, correct me if I'm wrong on that), but fans have reached the consensus that the reason they were created was to highlight the game's theme about nobility and classism as shown by how the two villains are characterized. In other cases, it's left to players' interpretation. In some cases, we have a clear cut answer from the developers. One of the biggest issues they all share is that in the end, they were all rather inconsequential to the story if you were to remove them from the game, the plot wouldn't change.īut that hasn't stopped Fire Emblem fans from looking into why these characters were added for Gaiden's remake.
These five characters have their fair share of fans, but they also have their criticisms from Fire Emblem players. Five new characters were added to Shadows of Valentia that were absent from its original version on the NES: Faye, Fernand, Berkut, Rinea, and Conrad.
