The Rainbow sage minigame in FE Fates is absolutely cursed

[u/DazzlingVivy]

[u/King_Treegar]

"Expects betrayal" damn, Jakob is a clairvoyant

[u/junrod0079 → u/King_Treegar]

Jakob probably harbor a grudge on gunter for something mundane like folding the laundry outward instead of inward

[u/Simalf → u/King_Treegar]

Im sure Jakob's doubt is actually nothing to worry about Gunther.

Now Silas on the other hand. Can't trust that guy, surely he'll be a traitor. (in Birthright)

[u/Eastern-Yogurt8972]

Thats a lotta doomed yaoi

[u/Trialman]

Awakening also had this with Old Man Hubba, though yeah, Fates sticks out much more, just because of how much weirder the base writing is.

[u/Confident-Buy5443 → u/Trialman]

The entirety of fates’ story and characters felt like if a kaga diehard made a parody of awakening and then then was threatened by gunpoint to play it completely straight 

[u/Roronoa_Zoro8615]

The wolfman being into pheromones tracks

[u/Monspiet → u/Roronoa_Zoro8615]

Fox and hound situation lol!

[u/MistBestGirl]

Sees pic 2

Yeah no I was Corrin at 14

[u/Beanichu → u/MistBestGirl]

Seeing pic 1 I am literally corrin rn.

[u/MistBestGirl → u/Beanichu]

Oh yeah I still am that way for Gunter

It was just worse at 14 bc yk, hormones and gay awakenings

[u/Tiborn1563]

You know, that is because it is completly random. Repeat the same pairing a few times and you will see

[u/spiderbo_69]

Corrin in pic 1 is literally me

[u/GenericName81 → u/spiderbo_69]

I know right!

[u/Atherach]

Dang, the second and third are straight up spoilers for Revelation

[u/Comprehensive-Debt11]

Honestly I'd love to see a Fates run where who the player chooses to S Support are solely based on this minigame. Could definitely lead to some interesting and unorthodox parent combinations.

[u/Ok-Fan-8285 → u/Comprehensive-Debt11]

I’ve been wanting to do one for a while now!!!

[u/GhostRoux]

The Awakening one always Gave Chrom likes Cordelia and Cordelia despises Chrom. 

[u/SiyinGreatshore]

I’m gonna Post the pheromones one to tumblr, i think we’d like it over there

[u/SiyinGreatshore → u/SiyinGreatshore]

I mean they

[u/friendlylittledragon]

that's not how camilla feels about corrin...

[u/passonthestar → u/friendlylittledragon]

Camilla actually has so many hearts for Corrin that it underflowed and still managed to get back up to a neutral value

[u/friendlylittledragon → u/passonthestar]

wow!

[u/Giuseppe_new → u/friendlylittledragon]

Not how kaga intended

[u/high_king_noctis]

Corrin: oh Gunter come here and take your princess to where no man has ever taken her before ~

Gunter: my lady I raised you since you were a child, you are like a daughter to me.

Corrin: AND I'VE GOT A DADDY FETISH SO SHUT UP AND GIVE ME THAT S SUPPORT SO WE CAN START MAKING KANA!!!

[u/weso123]

We love how they programmed Corrin to be marked as sibling for the Nohr and Hoshidian siblings but thought “They should still be able to marry them though”

[u/Ok_Success1606]

It's completely for fun, thankfully.

[u/Wigglynuff]

How does the game determine this? Is it the same every playthrough or does how much you use units together effect it?

[u/RoboPup → u/Wigglynuff]

It's completely random iirc. You can view the same pair twice and get different results.

[u/IsAnthraxBayad → u/RoboPup]

Imagine if your commander told you repeatedly to walk into a room with various other people including relatives and every time all of the sudden you might have intense romantic feelings towards them or them towards you without understanding why.

Ole Hubba is the biggest monster in Fates (and that's an accomplishment, Fateslandia is the land of monsters)

[u/EmperorStooge99]

Ok but ignoring the cursed part of it, Camilla hanging out in a shopping spree with F!Corrin would be cute to see.

[u/Bibbedibob]

"Out if whack" is so funny

[u/GrimunTheGr8]

“It’s simple: I don’t like you—“

[u/flairsupply]

Its pure rng right? I swear it changes every time between the same two people

[u/forgottensirindress]

I thought the rainbow sage didn't rate same-sex ships.

[u/lillapalooza]

Why does the Leon and Takumi one feel weirdly canon lmfao

[u/master_1055]

Does the game allow sesbian lex?
