I have to admit I'm surprised by the FE ship wars.
Except if you question the holy Eliwood/Ninian, heretic. Let's completely ignore that I managed to get Eliwood/Hector A the first time around... XP;; More seriously - how exactly do you claim anything as canon when, by definition,
all the ships given in support-conversations are canon? One-sided Ninian/Eliwood is canon regardless of Eliwood's interests, but whether Eliwood is more interested in her, Lyn, or Fiora is *chokes* entirely up to the player. Same goes for Hector/Lyn, Hector/Florina, Hector/Farina, or, hell, Hector/Lyn/Florina/Farina.
The only question is whether it's Hector's harem or Lyn's. Why fight over it? Just match up the appropriate supports in your OWN games and have at it.
FE7/FE8 ship-warriors are all spoiled, anyway. Used to be only Roy got to have ANY paired endings, and Ray/Sophia, Noah/Fir, and so on and so forth had to just rot away into dust. XP
I just find it silly that a game that
allows you to choose your own "canon" ships attracts ship wars. I mean, a game or story with a fixed canon? That I could understand. If the fans, for some gadforsaken reason, wanted to ship Athos/Aenir or Nergal/Bramimond or some other
unnatural and heretical pairing, I could understand ship wars - There Can Be Only One. But when any Arena chapter doubles as a dating sim? Hrooonk?
