Fire Emblem: Fates liveplay! (inactive)

Shut up.

I don't think people livestream Nintendo 3DS without equipment and expensive/obnoxious jury rigging, so, screw that, even if I wanted to. I will update this post throughout playing on my commentary etc.

I 100% agree, actual interaction is waaaay superior than the support scenes in determining shippiness. But so few of the eventual pairings have literally any canon interaction, so I do judge compatibility to some extent on the supports -- even though in the case of a pair with real canon interaction, like Corrin and Azura, it would mostly be tonal.

But that's exactly how I felt about the S scenes. In FE:A I would watch every S scene I unlocked and then say, "No, that feels like it comes out of fucking nowhere and it's forced and OOC." Then I would reload! I tried to go for pairs where the S support was IC and engaging. Like, Lon'qu and Miriel were like, a super random pairing, but I felt like their supports... supported the S rank conclusion instead of it abruptly just being "By the way, everything that happened was because of my feelings for you! Which are just -- the strongest! Here is a ring so we can marry, my dearest love."

No thank you, please try to have some sort of natural flow

Yeah, which is why I've more or less given up shipping in Fire Emblem! Except for a few outliers that break the mold but, even then, I have to kind of... ignore the S-rank scene because jesus christmas this is gross.
