How could you claim that Thracia isn't number one when the gameplay footage you used shows that it's clearly the best in the series

1:11:57 "Sigurd made some mistakes and got punished for them" is the understatement of the century.

The whitewings should be in every fire emblem game.

And there should also always be an est rescuing detour.

“mauvier kidnapped our little sister est in order to steal her wallet. Will you help us rescue est from mauvier’s big gaudy mansion?”

i like how the Thracia footage is just Leif

A little late, but Sacred Stones is my favorite game, mainly because of just how comfy it is to play, and its super satisfying.  It feels the most replayable, and its like the comfort food of the series and for me its the one I always go back to when I want to play some Fire Emblem.

your binding blade take is BASED. i've developed a weird appreciation for the sheer variety of ways that the game tells you to go fuck yourself. ambush spawns at the starting position, siege weapons and wyverns in fog of war - it's incredible. i love it. i've started seeing it as gigantic jokes and am laughing at my own expense. with units like fir, the objectively worse rutger, or the double whammy of really good unit cecilia introduced in the worst possible map for her alongside "top candidate for worst unit in all of FE" sophia, it's a really really funny game.

the story is Weak and i won't fight that but i appreciate how coherent it is. every name that's mentioned actually makes an appearance at some point, the final resolution leaves no holes, i love the concept behind idunn and roy's efforts to spare her. it and blazing blade are the opposites in the story department. whereas binding blade has a logical story with a weak cast (sparing ch24's exposition dump and suprise villain), blazing blade has the silliest story ever featuring "teleports behind you" nergal and an incredibly charming trifecta of protagonists.

the retcon potential of dragon roy is also just incredibly hilarious considering fe6's plot. "i wonder what happened to the dragons." my dear boy, you're one of them.

listen, intsys, if you're willing to listen to me, here's my twenty page outline on theming and plot changes for an echoes style fe6 remake-

I'm so glad someone out there also has my Thracia take of "i really like this game for a myriad of reasons but wow playing it is something personally difficult" because it's my third fave FE game but I have only played it twice unlike #2 and #1

My favorite thing about Gaiden is that Triangle Attack can proc on enemy phase and that’s maybe one of the funniest things that ever happened to me in FE gameplay; I was c a c k l i n g!

Rev at #11 I used to pray for times like these 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Ah yes an hour long revelations segment. Thanks auto generated chapters.

Honestly Genealogy and Thracia feel like completely different games from the rest of the series for me. If I had to compare it it would be like starting an engage play through right after beating three houses (they still rank in my top 5 favorite


Also congrats on 1k subs

Big agree on the thracia and fe12 sections. Theyre interesting challenges but really exhausting to play

Three houses is def one my fav would love to see a full review videos on it lol

enjoyed this video even though my list is probably the opposite of yours as you can tell from the Arden pfp lol
but I really like how there is a fire emblem for everyone I love hearing peoples different fire emblem rankings

as someone whose fav FE is also sacred stones (I am currently writing an essay analyzing the themes of grief/loss across many of its characters because I love it so much), the number 1 spot for sacred stones was a very welcome surprise :D also, totally agree about the exhaustion of the monastery segments in 3H, especially playing on new game+. Having maxed out professor rank from the beginning feels more like a curse than a boon because I am stuck between actually progressing and maximizing all of the time I have in the monastery, and it gets SUUUUPER exhausting

As a king who loves story, you are WILD for where you put Three Houses and Engage...love the video regardless.  Nice insights.

was replaying awakening while watching this and it's so funny that i agree on all points, i just found the emotional core of the story appealing enough for it to carry me through it all (also i love grima and insane amount). the midgame is Mid. it's so mid. act one is Amazing imo, and act three has its moments, but especially how all over the place lucina's involvement is... her greatest contribution to the plot are telling basilio to not die and defeating that one assassin and that's it. the future children have such squandered potential, cuz they're all optional.

the pair up system is a ton of fun in how broken it is. strats like nos tanking arent even necessary when freddie can just steamroll everything (or give somebody +6 def so THEY can steamroll everything.) the inheritance system is something i've only started playing with in my second playthrough but i can see the appeal (if you consult a wiki page on which classes have which skills).

it just drops the ball in so many aspects. the earlygame is the best the story gets and it has the highest difficulty with actual challenge. but then you get your chrobin sweep going and that's it. game's a joke now.

in the end it's just how we differ as people that i have the same complaints but walked away with an all around favourable view of it. awakening is baller and it's because i'm bringing a shovel and am ready to dig. great video.
👍

I’m so happy the algorithm blessed me with you popping up looking forward to more videos.

Harrrd disagree on fe7 and fe4 being worse than revelations, but I respect a different opinion. I’m definitely subbing after this.

Shin is the fifth "leg", the tail.

I feel like Radiant Dawn potentially suffered of trying to connect the opposing factions together; I think the literal Deus Ex Machina of Ashera essentially ending the world definitely was always the idea, considering how PoR teases a lot how a full war among all the ruling forces would awake the Evil God in the Fire Emblem and destroy everything (and Sephiran not-so-subtly telling during the epilogue that this is gonna happen); but I guess they struggled to make the story go from this point to the battle in the tower against Lekain, Sephiran and Ashera... So it ended up giving us this very awkward section where this just happen.
