The epilogue also seems to make him the center of the new Valentian dynasty, further cementing him as the man of action. He's the one reclaiming Zofia, he's the one stopping the war and killing Rudolf, and he's the one delivering the final blow to Duma. He might be a little rash in the beginning, I guess, but if you argue he gets over that, is that really Celica's doing?Īlm is consistently shown to be in the right, and garnering broad support while he's at it. Even if you love Alm, I think you'd have a hard time arguing that he's not both friendly and forgiving person even at the start of the game. To keep matters short, Celica's influence on Alm is minimal. If Celica doesn't accomplish much in the main story, then she'd obviously have to be a great foil to Alm, right? Well. Given the running theme of duality in Echoes, one would think that the characters would work as foils to each other. Believed by the people to be a reincarnation of Mila, she was universally loved for her work fostering peace in the nascent kingdom." "In marrying Alm, Celica became the first queen of the One Kingdom of Valentia, and aided her king with wisdom and compassion. Even when looking at her epilogue, it's a lot less.dynamic than Alm's.
Keep in mind, I'm not arguing the fact that Celica did what she believed was right, I'm saying that she fails in the task that she set out to do from the start and at the end of the day it doesn't even seem to have been that important. He would be remembered fondly by later generations as Saint-King Alm I, who cast off the gods' oppressive yoke and founded a dynasty that would last a thousand years." "As first king of the One Kingdom of Valentia, Alm spent his life restoring the land to glory. Everyone seems to quickly jump on the Alm bandwagon, and when Duma is defeated, the game ends cheerfully and Alm's epilogue shows that Valentia could prosper even without the gods:
FIRE EMBLEM ECHOES CELICA FREE
Alm gets to hold a big speech about working the dying fields himself if it means being free from Duma. The state of Zofia and the extent of the influence Duma and Mila have on the land is one of the least well-developed points in the entire game, and nowhere is this more apparent than during the end. The problem is, not only does Celica fail in this regard, but the sheer importance of getting Mila back is also questioned towards the end. Fair enough, the dead are walking the lands and there's apparently a drought going on, so getting the living god that keeps your land from crumbling apart seems like a reasonable thing to do. This is a problem that goes beyond saying "well following Jedah was the only thing she could do/going along with Jedah made her look stupid", as the achievements of one of the two protagonists feel either too few or largely like a filler arc.Ĭelica's quest is to find Mila. Sure, she helps Zofians on her way to Mila's Temple, but in the grand scheme of things, as in Rudolf invading Zofia and Duma being bonkers, killing Barth and Grieth doesn't really serve a purpose. While playing through Echoes and discussing it later, I've personally felt at least to some extent that, in the end, Celica doesn't really do or accomplish much as far as the main story is concerned. If you can obtain four or five of these, though very hard to accomplish, you will have one piece of the strongest team known to man.This question will no doubt initially raise many eyebrows, and I'm not arrogant enough to believe that everyone will be convinced by what I write, but I still felt like this could be a fun topic of discussion.
As for your best choice when it comes to bow, the best one, and perhaps the best weapon in the entire game, is the Killer Bow. The Rhomphaia is very rare and you'll only be able to obtain one within the game, so give it to your best lance user and give everyone else the Silver Lance. If you're looking for the best lances, the Silver Lance and Rhomphaia are the best options you have. As for swords for Priestesses, only the Ladyblade is worth using (and mentioning). Later in the game, the Silver Sword and the Brave Sword are the best among the bunch, as well as the Zweihander. It can be found on Alm's Path in Act 1, and it's a very strong sword to begin with. When it comes to swords for Mercenaries, the best one found early in the game is the Lightning Sword. For Celica, it's her Beloved Zofia, which can actually be forged from the Golden Dagger. For Alm, it's his Royal Sword, found deep within Desaix's Fortress.
For Alm and Celica specifically, the best weapons for them are actually the ones exclusive to their very own characters.
