![]() ![]() But Lyn is a complicated character with complicated motives, priorities and desires, and notably she grows differently depending on who she achieves an A Support with. Yes, the idea of a woman derailing her desires for the sake of a man is a common sexist trope. You don’t have to like the ship (I still prefer Lyn and Florina, as I said), but you can’t pretend that Lyn isn’t treated with more respect here, or that Eliwood treats her with much more respect in general.Īnd in regards to Lyn’s arc….I’d argue it’s more complicated than you make it out to be. Lyn is visibly happy, and Eliwood is looking at her in clear adoration. In Eliwood and Lyn’s, they’re standing with each other on equal terms. Respect for Lyn clearly isn’t present here. Hector’s put her in a degrading and embarrassing position in an almost possessive way. In Hector and Lyn’s, Lyn is visibly uncomfortable and startled. Hell, just take a peek at the sheer difference conveyed through their CG arts. By this standard alone Eliwood and Lyn is leagues better than what you call her “other noble option.” They actually treat each other with mutual respect and don’t act like characters out of a tropey het rom-com. You say pleasant interactions don’t make it a good romance in and of itself and I agree–but they’re absolutely a prerequisite for one. This is baffling to me on so many levels, especially the last sentence… I know that? hence i’m critical of heclyn? and so many other things about the game?
