Anacybele Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) Ooh, glad to see a lot of Silas love in the west. ^^ I love him too! He's so adorkable and he's such a sweetie! And he's cute! And I'm a sucker for childhood friend romance. And cavalier knights (generally). lol I mean, both the spouses I gave my Avatars in Awakening and Fates are of the cavalier line. lol (Freddy and Silas) EDIT: Oh, also, Silas is most assuredly voiced by the guy who did the Pits in Kid Icarus! I hear a lot of Dark Pit in him especially (because it's slightly deeper than regular Pit)! And I loved Dark PIt. :D Edited February 22, 2016 by Anacybele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frelia Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) I feel like a bunch of his supports--at least in the JP, gives off a really judgmental vibe for some reasons and I guess the way it's written grated on me a lot I don't always mind judgmental as a flaw but it's the execution thereof Haven't read much of the English to see if anything changed, bc I can't get into him enough in the JP for me to look forward to reading his supports This and his support with Elise is why my thoughts about Silas downgraded some. I don't think he's a bad character and when he's not coming off as creepy and judgmental I like him just fine. His supports with Hana in the ENG version still make him judgmental and I still dislike it, but it's not as bad as the JP version. That version was straight up kissing his feet. Thankfully the Elise/Silas support look cleaned up some. Unfortunately his ENG support with Camilla seems to be worse than the JP version. It's a mixed bag for me with Silas that's for sure.

SSbardock84 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 He's one of those characters I figured I'd never use but I actually really like him. I turned him into a Lodestar in Conquest and probably will in Birthright too. He seems like the ideal character for the class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsuky Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Silas is popular? Lol, I actually didn't know that, either. But in the Pre-Release Popularity Poll, he did get more votes than Jakob and Kaze, both of whom are pretty popular characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatsumaFSoysoy Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I haven't actually seen people say they hate Silas, so I'm more inclined to think that they're just making fun of him by calling him "self-proclaimed best friend". It's almost a rule: the more a character gets made fun of, the more popular he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, then it's sad to see that Ryoma is an exception: I've seen too many lobster jokes to count, but he's still not nearly as popular as Xander, who never really gets made fun of, is...

jankmaster98 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 He reminds me of Stahl, I liked Stahl. Simple guy without a lot of emotional baggage. Plus, he's on a horse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieranosaurus Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Ah, I like Silas. He's simple. I honestly wasn't expecting much from him. His level of determination to see Corrin/Kamui again would come across as strange or creepy in real life though.Still, I thought it was really charming. He'd probably be less interesting if they completely knew each other from the start tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebony Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Yeah he is kinda boring. I like his kid tho. Basically how I feel. Silas is okay - nothing to write home about (aside from his voice tbh). I do love Sophie though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsuky Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I've yet to see someone make a lobster joke in anything other than affection. Well, right, but I thought the whole point of that rule was that the more jokes the fans crack on a character, the more popular he/she is, and that's not the case with Ryoma. I didn't say the jokes are bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I'm personally tired of the lobster jokes... They were funny at first, but now they're just old and done to me. Besides, Ryoma never looked THAT much like a lobster to me in the first place. I always thought he looked more like a porcupine because dat hair. I even call him porcupine lord these days as a joke. Walhart looks more like a lobster to me. I even saw others compare him to one, but he didn't get the same jokes Ryoma does and that's just not fair... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I guess I can't blame the fans for drawing connections, since there's literally a lobster named Ryouma-ebi...

solrocknroll Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I'm also really sick of lobster jokes. I love lobsters and yet I never found it funny in the first place. Ryoma isn't even the best Hoshidan male, much less Hoshidan sibling. I don't think Walhart is that lobster-y either, but I don't like it when aspects of characters become jokes in general. At least Orochi, Reina, Azama, and Setsuna aren't popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NekoKnight Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) His supports with the Nohrian sisters makes it seem like he wishes he could take Kamui's place and the JP!Silas x Elise support was really creepy. And then he's judgmental in other supports. Jealous, judgmental and a little bit of a creep, yeah. Sounds kind of like a stereotypical "nice guy".

I haven't read his support with Camilla, but the Elise one was just too much (at least the localization fixed it). Honestly, I'm kinda lacking the motivation to read any of his supports; the only two I've read are Elise and Selena since I'm planning on doing those pairings, and neither of them was that good...

Shadow Knight Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Different strokes for different folks. Personally I don't see why everyone loves Takumi. All he does is whine and complain and swear revenge while I keep putting him into the ground in conquest. But according to your popularity post he's the best thing that happened to Japan apparently. I like Silas, he seems pretty down to earth and in conquest he's pretty useful in the first couple missions. In conquest you don't get many frontline units early on besides Effie and Arthur so it's nice to have a sturdy cavalier to relieve the frontliners.

If you only play Conquest, Takumi will definitely come off that way. As for Silas, he's a pretty good unit. I reclassed him to get the Lodestar skills and it has made him both tanky (as a GK) but fast. And now I want to write a fanfic about Silas being a yandere for Camilla or Elise and wanting to kill and replace Kamui. Don't let your dreams be dreams. Do it!
