His subsequent inclusion and appearance inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimatewas met with mixed reception.

Conception and development

[edit]

Concept art and sketches for most characters inAwakening,including Chrom, were done by character designerYusuke Kozaki.[2]American actorMatthew Mercer,who is the English voice actor for Chrom, auditioned for the role; he claimed that while the project's title was "secret on the audition sides", he recognized theFire Emblemseries' art and character references and was hopeful in securing the role.[3]He described his approach to playing Chrom as maintaining a "balance between casual, cool, stoic, and occasionally playful", and that he wanted players to be able to identify with the character and vicariously enjoy his heroics.[3]Mercer described Chrom as intelligent and capable of making good and sensible decisions, noting that he is prepared to face challenges despite his youth.[3]

In July 2014,Super Smash Bros.series directorMasahiro Sakuraiexplained that Chrom was not included as a playable character inSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii Ubecause he lacked unique characteristics and would be another sword-wielder likeMarthand Ike.[4]Chrom was later included inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimatedue to high demand from both Japanese and overseas fans.[5][6]

In an interview with two members of the development team forFire Emblem Warriorsconducted by Japanese magazine Nintendo Dream, producer Yosuke Hayashi and director Hiroya Usuda revealed that Chrom was the first character created for the game, and was used as reference for how other characters inWarriorsshould be.[7]Usuda explained that the team wanted to improve the graphics forHeroesto a level of quality matching the pre-rendered cinematic scenes ofFire Emblem AwakeningandFire Emblem Fates.SinceAwakeninghad existing character models for Chrom, the team was able to match his movements and actions during battle sequences as well as character poses in box art and other illustrations.[7]As Chrom is a sword-wielding Lord character, he also has a standard position action-wise, and many of the game's featured characters happened to wield swords. The team decided to prioritize development for Chrom, a process which was described as "hectic", and the finished character became the starting point for the team in deciding the direction and the skeletal frame of the cast of characters inWarriors.[7]The decision on which characters fromAwakeningto choose for inclusion inWarriorsis contingent on whether they have close ties with Chrom, which also applied to characters from other games in the series with their respective protagonists.[7]

Chrom is noted for his white cape and signature weapon, theFalchionsword.[8]He is described as "princely" and "noble", and as having his peoples' best interests at heart despite having "a bit of a temper".[9]His "fearsome nature in battle" is driven by his "steadfast sense of justice", which makes him a "powerful fighter, leader, and ally".[10]Within the series, Chrom has close ties with his daughterLucinaand sister Lissa.[11][7]For his appearance inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate,Chrom is described as an"Echo" character,but his move set is not a direct copy of another character, instead consisting of a mixture of moves fromIkeandRoy,predominantly from the latter's move set inSmash 4.[11]His "Final Smash" is called Awakening Aether, which is based on his moveset inAwakening.[12]

Appearances

[edit]

Chrom originates from theNintendoandIntelligent Systemsvideo gameFire Emblem Awakening,an entry in theFire Emblemseries.[13]Chrom is the leader of his personal army and the Shepherds.[14]In the beginning of the game, he finds an amnesiac Avatar in a field and takes them in, and over the course of the story helps defend Ylisse from undead invaders called the Risen and attacks from the hostile nation of Plegia. He later learns that the "Marth" that had been aiding him is actually a version of his daughter Lucina. She hails from a future where Grima destroyed the world and he was killed by the Avatar after Grima possessed them, and traveled back in time to help him work towards a different future.[13]To fight Grima, Chrom must perform Awakening,a ritual that grants him Naga's power, by combining the Fire Emblem with five magical gems divided among the nations. During and after the war in Valm, the Shepherds manage to retrieve four of the gemstones.[15]Chrom performs the Awakening and summons Naga, who reveals that although he now has the power to stop Grima, she only has enough power to put Grima to sleep for another thousand years. She tells him that the only way to truly destroy Grima is to have him destroy himself through the Avatar, which would likely kill them, but they may survive if their bond with Chrom and the Shepherds is strong enough.[16]In the final battle, the Shepherds manage to weaken Grima and Chrom, who is opposed to the Avatar's sacrifice, offers to deliver the final blow. Depending on the player's final choice, the game will reach one of two different endings. If Chrom deals the final blow, Grima is put back to sleep for another thousand years, though the Avatar is left with regrets. If the Avatar deals the final blow, both them and Grima permanently die.[17]Matthew Mercerstated that for inspiration of Chrom's voice, he wanted his voice to be cool and stoic, but also casual and a bit playful.[18]

Chrom appears as a unit in the mobile tactical role-playing gameFire Emblem Heroes,[19]and as one of the main characters inFire Emblem Warriors.[20][21]For his appearance inFire Emblem Heroes'monthly Legendary Hero Banner in February 2020, Chrom has a redesigned appearance and is armed with a bow and arrow instead of the Falchion, along with a different set of abilities and skills.[22][23]He also appears as a DLC Emblem inFire Emblem Engagealong witha Male Robin.[24]

Chrom has appeared in severalcrossover video gamesas a representative character of theFire Emblemfranchise, includingProject X Zone 2andTokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE.[25][26]InTokyo Mirage Sessions,Chrom is depicted as an otherworldly being, a prince from another dimension, who is bonded with the game's lead character Itsuki Aoi after being "purified" by Itsuki's Performa ability.[8]A costume based on Chrom'sAwakeningoutfit was also available as part of a cross-promotion inCapcom'sMonster Hunter Frontier G.[27]Chrom is a playable character in 2018'sSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate[28]as an "echo fighter" to Roy, with a similar set of moves.[29]As part of theDragalia LostFire EmblemKindred Ties event which ran from April 30, 2020, to May 11, 2020, Chrom was featured in the summoning banner.[30]

Promotion and reception

[edit]

Nintendo initially released anAmiibofigure of Chrom in October 2017, and later a second figure with his redesigned appearance fromUltimatein November 2019.[31]Fire EmblemdevelopersIntelligent Systemsintended to release a pair of limited edition collectible keychains in September 2019, one of which resembled a miniature replica of Chrom's signature weapon.[32]

According to a questionnaire which focused onAwakeninghosted by Japanese anime news websiteDengeki Onlinein August 2012, Chrom was voted favorite male character with a tally of 11.2% by readers.[33]Several of the character's lines were voted as among the game's most memorable phrases; his "Anything can change!" quote in particular received the most votes and is considered to be "iconic".[34]In a North AmericanFire Emblemcharacter popularity poll called "Choose Your Legends" leading up to the release ofHeroesin February 2017, Chrom placed fourth place among the series' male characters.[35]The character has inspired cosplay activities,[36]as well as a number of works driven byfan labor,such as a mousepad depicting Chrom in a provocative and suggestive pose,[37]and afan modofSuper Smash Bros. Brawlcreated in response to Chrom's exclusion fromSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U,which replaces Marth's character model with assets for the character.[38]Swordsmith Tony Swatton, who maintains an ongoingYouTubechannel called Man at Arms, uploaded a video to his channel in December 2013 where he recreated Chrom's Falchion sword, which he noted to be the result of numerous requests from fans. The video received substantial attention from video game journalists.[39][40][41][42][43]

Chrom has received a mostly positive reception for his appearance and characterization inAwakening.GamesRadarsaid that Chrom "looks and feels like a main protagonist" and is a "perfect complement" to the player's avatar character; Chrom is also noted as instrumental in the successful recruitment of several other characters due to his persuasive nature.[44]Nadia Oxford fromUSGamerdescribed the first face to face meeting between Chrom and a time-traveling Lucina as "a heart-wrenching bit of video game cinema".[13]Heather Alexandra fromKotakufoundAwakening'snarrative to be "magical and inspiring"; they argued that while it is tempting to view the story of Chrom and Lucina in a reductive way and dismiss their "faith filled, positive philosophies" as "childish", "foolish naïveté", the straightforward tale of their defeat of the fell dragon is thematically important from a moral perspective.[45]Kirk Hamilton, also fromKotaku,praised the ending sequence ofAwakeningas one of the most "cathartic conclusions" he has experienced in video games, emphasizing the heartfelt interactions between Chrom and several other characters from the game's cast in particular.[46]Hamilton also found the depiction of romantic content inAwakeningto be "adorable", and highlighted an intimate conversation between Chrom and comrade Sumia as an example.[47]Polygonstaff ranked him as one of their "69 biggest crushes of the last decade" and described him to be very appealing, physically and emotionally.[9]Commenting on the ongoing standings of "Choose Your Legends", Mike Fahey also fromKotakuwas of the view that Chrom and Lucina should have topped the poll instead of the eventual winners, Ike and Lyn.[48]

In her review ofFire Emblem Warriors,Meghan Sullivan fromIGNpraised the references which are incorporated into interactions between characters who originated from the same game, such as Chrom's reunion with Robin, the player's avatar fromAwakening.[49]Mike Sounders fromDestructoidobserved that Chrom's importance toWarriorsis comparable toLink's role inHyrule Warriors.[7]Chris Moyse, also fromDestructoid,was surprised that Chrom's Legendary Hero incarnation inHeroesis presented as an archer instead of a swordsman and without his signature Falchion sword.[10]On the other hand, Steven Hansen fromDestructoidexpressed a dislike for the character. He criticized Chrom's inclusion as a DLC character forFatesin 2015, calling him a "stalwart bore" while expressing a preference for some of the series' lesser known characters, and emphasized that he is not a worthwhile romance option.[50][51]

Chrom has also received coverage for his appearances in media outside of theFire Emblemseries, most notably theSuper Smash Bros.series.Jason Schreiercommented in a post published byKotakuin July 2014 that while Chrom did appear in a promotional trailer forSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U,"sadly, he appears to be an assist trophy or Final Smash forRobin,not a playable character ".[52]Cody Perez fromVGRquestioned the rationale behind Lucina's inclusion in theSmashseries being prioritized over Chrom, and argued that he played a more prominent role within the narrative ofAwakening.[53]

While the decision to include Chrom inUltimatewas attributed by Sakurai to recurring demand from the series' fanbase,Cecilia D'Anastasiocomplained in a 2018 article written forKotakuthat he is too similar to other sword-wieldingFire Emblemcharacters who have already appeared in theSuper Smash Bros.series, and that the character "is the straw that broke the camel's back", a metaphor she used to describe her exasperation at the perceived overrepresentation ofFire Emblemcharacters and alleged that the series is being turned into a "Fire Emblemfan game".[54]In an edition ofWeekly Famitsupublished in the first week of February 2020, Sakurai admitted that there are too manyFire Emblemcharacters inUltimate,and in particular too many swordsmen types.[55]Jeremy Parish ofPolygonranked 73 fighters fromSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate"from garbage to glorious", placing Chrom at 69th,[56]while Gavin Jasper ofDen of Geekranked the Chrom as 71st on his list ofSuper Smash Bros. Ultimatecharacters.[57]Both Parish and Jasper criticized the lack of originality behind Chrom's inclusion inUltimateas well as his overt similarity to otherFire Emblemcharacters.[9][57]According toZeRo,a seasonedSuper Smash Bros.player and top streamer forSuper Smash Bros. Ultimatein December 2018, following the 1.20Smashpatch Chrom improved from being one of the worst characters in the game to second-best in a tier list he proposed, which presented the first comprehensive and analytical ranking for playable characters inUltimate.[58]
