Maybe the real Sacred Stones were the trainees we've trained along the way...

Ross overshadowing his dad is totally acceptable, Garcia is old and retired by the time FE8 happens

This was a nice trip down memory lane remembering all these characters

Loved 2 stones, the branching storyline is what really did it for me. And Ephram is one of the only heroes with spear in the entire series

I definitely enjoy the vibes of this list. Sacred Stones was my intro to Fire Emblem as well so a lot of these units have a special place in my heart. Love these tier lists and getting to know how these characters filter through your point of view. I will say, I know it’s not a view a lot of people share, but the tower and the ruins were a big part of my enjoyment for this game. I love that I could have the opportunity to use all the characters in a play through if I wanted to and just create an op army.

Big benefit of of Neimi is she is the only OB user in the game and you can get her promoted before route split easily.

Great video and rankings! I would love to get a ranking of the optional Boss characters that you can acquire by beating the Valni Tower and the difficult dungeon 3 times each.

I'm still waiting for a zero-redundancy hack for FE8 to come out 🙃

Have you ever seen Amelia and Duessel’s full Supports (and their ending?) It actively makes me feel bad to pair her with one of her actual husbando options.

I'm so happy I found this channel, this is for me I love this stuff

Oh, yeah; I also decided, on my most recent run, to see how much I could train Orson in 5x and see how he does… somehow he dodged so much (and such good growths) I was able to get him to Level 16 — with three one-use Elixirs left for Ephraim/Forde/Kyle… He took and evaded so much the mooks lasted forever.

Still no idea how I did that; I was expecting to Peter out at Lv 10, but daaaaamn…

9:06 So while not his main weapon Sigurd can use lances in FE4 and I believe Seliph can too on promotion. Chrom and Lucina also get lances on promotion in Awakening too. But if you meant lances as their main weapon then yeah Ephraim was the first "lance lord"

Solid list. I've had like exact opposite experiences with Tana and Vanessa than you have, but otherwise I can't feel too bad about any decision. Thanks as always for the content!

I liked the General's sword animations so much as a kid that I always shoehorned Amelia and Gilliam into my parties.

Kyle maybe extremely plain, but gosh darn it that guy can put in work!  In my current playthough he got to 17 Strength at lvl 13 Cavalier

I just beat the game on normal so maybe that skews my data but Artur went CRAZY. Basically untouchable and obliterates everything. Lute was sort of a glass cannon but still a walking nuke. I also had a lot of sucess with Gilliam as a general but I guess he has all of the normal trappings of armor units.

aight. i got a hot take for ya. In every aspect other than join time, Gerik crushes or near matches Seth in everything.
Gerik is my favorite unit in sacred stones, alas haar has my heart for favorite character.

So happy to see this and we're in agreement with a few characters. Now kids remember Ross Is Boss.

I love watching videos on different perspectives on these characters. I play on vibes and I can't complete an ironman without being hit by anxiety when a leveled unit is killed and I just abandon that run 😂

Dang maybe I just had some really exceptional luck with Vanessa because I've been getting SO much out of her on my first run.
