Quote:(LEADS, that mage was NOT a lead, though I admit Marth clones are getting old that's more a complaint at the series in general),
I'll respond in depth later, I very much disagree with a lot of what you said, but I must correct you on this right now: Micaiah and Ike are, indeed, the two main characters of Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn. She's not a secondary character, she is a main character. The game is an ensemble game really, and you play with a variety of people as the "main character" over the course of the game (in addition to Ike and Micaiah you also play as Elincia, Sanaki, and maybe others as the lead), but the two of them are the primary leads through most of the game (the other parts are smaller pieces). Ike is not the sole lead of the game, she is too. Yes, Ike was better known because he also was the main character of Path of Radiance on the Gamecube while she was a new character, but still, she is a main character, and is the first Fire Emblem main character to be a mage, which was great to see because the fact that FE main characters were always sword wielders (unless you count Hector from FE7 as one, in which case you can add the axe) was getting a bit old... it was great to see them mix things up a bit. And then Ike becomes a playable character in the next SSB game, Lyn from FE7 an assist (again, as I said, yes, from an older FE game, but one of the most popular female FE characters, which is why she's in as an assist at all and why some people thought she might be a playable character), and Micaiah just a sticker. :(
