FE8 Except Seth Is Old

Hello FEU!
I made a small edit to a unit and thought I’d share it here. This time, it’s about Seth. I examined the differences between FE6 Marcus and FE7 Marcus, and based on those changes, I created an older version of Seth.
Have fun!

Bold for a romhack with nothing about it

I am sorry. It seems like I made some mistakes when creating the thread and it did not displayed the images correctly. I will add some more explanation and the link soon.

Old Seth battle palette should be the generic red paladin because hes in full red

Too strong, he can still solo FE8 with those stats, you should add an event where he dies of old age and leaves the party

Make him canonically lost his legs aka -2 speed

This just in, Old People are Luckier, science has confirmed it.

I’m surprised you didn’t grey his hair.

Oh. You are right. I did not noticed that the portrait is also F2E until now.

Hm. No free palette space, but there’s already a couple whites in the palette for the eyes. Sclera-colored hair.

I tried to match the hair color to that of Marcus from FE6, but I wasn’t quite successful. If anyone is interested in making the hair white, I would greatly appreciate it!

How old is old Seth, exactly? Does this make his romantic support with Erika problematic?

What.

I’m only half serious of course lol - but if he’s like 60 should he have a crush on a 20 year old? :stuck_out_tongue:

I am not sure how old regular Seth is but this portrait makes him look like 40 years old or something? I do not know I am not the creator.

Old Seth when

Taking this seriously because I’m autistic: honestly if Eirika’s in her 20s and independent enough, it’s fine. The problem really isn’t age (aside from age of majority) it’s relative power. The problem is Eirika isn’t really independent - Seth has knowledge and power over her canonically as she’s naïve, sheltered and at the start physically weak, and she never really pulls rank on him even though she could. Even her own route treats her like an accessory to Seth, as you can see in say, Restoration Queen.

The other issue is we don’t really know the age gap because there’s been no official ages. If this is a 15-year-old dating an 18-year-old, it’s a bit iffy but not abhorrent. If it’s a 15-year-old dating a 25-year-old, say, it’s messed up because of the sheer discrepancy of relative power that comes with being a minor with a person well into their majority.

But if they’re both independent adults with roughly the same power dynamic (which is a combination of things like physical and mental strength, societal acceptance and social systems like friends or associates, legal protections, knowledge and ability to live well without care), it doesn’t really matter if she’s 25 and he’s 70. It’s why people don’t get up in arms about Corrin/Gunther or Robin/Tiki but do get weirded out if Byleth dates their (former) students.

Is there literally nothing else to discuss but that

we should discuss how despite being older, Old Seth is still as agile and retains both the same spd base and spd growth instead of whatever the fuck all that was

I just copied these changes from Marcus.
