Ike fire emblem gay

He'd never be the sort of person to flaunt his sexuality, no matter what it was. He literally has zero romantic interest. If some people internally wanted that, they likely wouldn't have "gotten away," with it since Ike was 1 A main character 2 Stereotypically masculine 3 More or less stereotypically Heroic, especially to western sensibilities even if less so for the Japanese public, and it would have been met with some severe amount of backlash to both markets if done at the time of either game.

It's much more complicated, in my opinion, than either side typically presents. That slightly stronger romantic subtext would probably get denied as much as what we have is, even if there was slightly better proof than what we ended up with.

Ike is one of the most popular characters in the Fire Emblem series, and has appeared in other media, most. It might be why more of these sorts of relationships don't exist all that often in fictional media. I ran out of room on my last post, so I thought I'd slip this here.

This is very likely. Fire Emblem is a fantasy tactical role-playing video game franchise developed by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo. With them just being exceptionally scarred individuals, and having formed a potentially unhealthy relationship with each other out of a misguided instinct for "brotherhood," or "family," with Ike having just lost his mother and Soren never having any real family at all.

The Fire Emblem series is well known for its innovation and for being one of the first Eastern style tactical role-playing games, with a strong emphasis on Western forms of medieval folklore.

I think there's a chance that at least some writers on the team wished to push a gay angle with Ike, given what's in the games right now between his much more emotional supports with both Ranulf and Soren alike in Path of Radiance, and their paired endings in Radiant Dawn, but that never canonically surfaced the way character's like Heather, Legault, Niles, Leon, and so on have been made official.

This means I paradoxically ship them, but don't at the same time. He has no romance in his supports and he doesn't marry anyone.

Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn features a hidden skit, available only if the player has previously cleared the game once, has imported a save from Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance in which Ike and Soren have an A-level support relationship, has achieved an A-Level support relationship between Ike and Soren in the current playthrough, has unlocked Ike’s sealed memories, and has kept Soren alive, that.

He is the central protagonist and Lord-class character of the ninth game in the series, Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, and one of the central characters in Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. One element that I've always considered if it was official from the start: Even if they had the go ahead to make it slightly more romantic, I think the broken and emotionally isolated and damaged way they both would approach it would make it significantly harder to point out and confirm than characters who flirt in an obvious and almost deviant fashion like Heather, Niles, and Legault.

Not to say everyone has to get married or be in a relationship, it's just very odd that someone of his status wouldn't have someone. So even they were "gay," even just for each other, we likely wouldn't get it confirmed with anything short of the writer retroactively giving us a word of God moment.

Ike (Japanese: アイク, Hepburn: Aiku) is a character from the Fire Emblem series of video games. Sores obviously from being ostracized early on by both races until Beorc started assuming he was a spirit charmer developed in an emotionally unusual way, and ended up developing a bond together that might be typically classified as a romantic relationship if they weren't in such fragile and traumatized positions, especially so young.

I think people are way too complicated to simply apply these kinds of labels, especially when both games did the leg work to show us just how screwed up both of this characters are at a basic, emotional level, which ended up explaining a ton of both of their strange moments in both games to boot, given their trading off in blunt, forward, and sometimes even cruel moments between them.

If this was the intention, and the nuanced and borderline toxic relationship was intended to be something in the middle, it doesn't seem like most people would like to it from that middle ground. I guess it'd be close to being "gay," but without typical romance or sexual relations, but they're certainly bonded to each in a deeply attached and codependent with each other in a fashion that certainly transcends "brotherhood," or "just BFFs, bro!

Soren is also likely the same, but since he's inadvertently effeminate due to his stature and him taking moreso after his mother in some amount of his appearance and his clear obsession with Ike, he gets pegged as gay when I don't think either of them properly fit that stereotypical bill.
