Yeooo Gamers!
There is unfortunately some incorrect information and I want to thank those for helping!

Sigurd (Mother/Before Game): SIgurd's unnamed mother dies when he is young, as he says so in chapter 1 when speaking to Ethlyn.

Chrom (Mother/Before Game): Unless Chrom marries the Maiden, he mentions to tell his wife in chapter 12 that his mother passed when he was young.

Alear (Mother/Before Game): Alear brings up his unnamed mother's death occurring when he was young while speaking to Lumera in chapter 24.

Lucina (Robin/Main Story): If Robin is Lucina’s mother, Robin becomes Grima’s vessel and is defeated during the endgame.

Corrin (Anankos/Survivor): Corrin only defeats Anankos in Revelation. Leaving Anankos as a survivor in Birthright and Conquest.

Alear (Sombron/Survivor): Fire Emblem Engage features a bad ending where Alear's army is unsuccessful in defeating Sombron, leaving him as a survivor.

Lyn’s grandfather is mistakenly referred to and shown as Hayden instead of Hausen.

(While this video is meant to only use in-game info, it is worth mentioning that Alm’s mother is spoken about in a Fire Emblem CD.)

I apologize for the misinformation!

Roy might not have the stats, but he has something more important, the blood of true survivors

Eliwood is definitely the winner here. Survived his son's game and had his mom survive in his.

I chose to believe Eleanora is still alive by the end of FE6, and that she witnessed her son and grandson both going on epic dragon slaying quests and becoming badasses.

If you count the house leaders, Claude's the only one that still has living parents by the end of the game

I choose to believe that the ability to survive being a Fire Emblem parent is a genetic condition that Eliwood inherited from his mother.

Alear's biological mother is dead. They mention it to Lumera, their future adopted mother, when they meet her for the first time.

"Im only a minute in, and Marths dad is already dead. That has to be a new record."

Alm’s mother actually appears in a drama cd. Iirc she leads an orphanage somewhere in rigel, hiding from the duma faithfull.

"the strategy to survive fire emblem as a dad is to act like you are about to die"

I was always very distracted by Robin's mother's absence. Like, escaping a death-cult with a baby for the baby's protection is a pretty noble and amazing thing to do for your child and she's mentioned in only one line of text. How did she escape? Did Robin ever know of her? And if she escaped with baby Robin why was the main timeline's Robin also the Hierophant of Plegia?

It really is a shame that we never get to learn anything about Robin’s mother. I imagine she must have been a really brave person to go against the ideas of the Grimleal, including Validar himself, in order to rescue her baby

Kind of wild how almost every Lord/MU father is murdered by an important character they know of or even the main antagonist and then you have Jeralt who gets murdered by a literal who.

Early in genealogy, Sigurd mentions to Ethlyn how thankful he was to have her around after their mother died, and when he leaves seliese, he thanks Lewyns mother for being the mother he never had

Here’s a quick and funny question. Who’s had the most dead parents? Out of any Fire Emblem character? If we count resurrections, adoption, and stepparents, I would imagine Corrin is up there. At least six of his parents died in his time. Another character off the top of my mind is Nino, who had six parent deaths. Two of her birth parents, and four from her adopted parents (three of which she could cause herself). With so many dead parents, it’s no wonder it’s so well known as a gag.

Sigurd [Prologue, talk conversation with Ethlyn]: "I swear, after Mother passed away, it was you who single-handedly kept us in check."

Alear [Chapter 24, after battle conversation with Lumera]: "Mother told me--this was before she died--that father called me that name."

Chrom and lissa were acknowledged to be raised by their older sister who took exalt at a very young age, assuming it’s based on lineage and age (as chrom takes over for her rather than lissa so that can be assumed) it would be confusing that they would have a living mother and was never mentioned so I’m pretty sure it’s safe to assume their dead, as assuming she was alive creates tons of plot questions

I hope this is proof to any new players to NEVER get attached to a main characters parent in a Fire Emblem game... I mean, Engage had only just announced Lumera as Alears mother, when the betting began on how many chapters she would make it...

What's really funny though is that the new main character of Shez in Three Hopes also has dead parents, but if you do everything right, Jeralt survives and fight with your army alongside Byleth! So in the alternate universe setting of Three Hopes, Jeralt makes it all the way through, since Byleth is demoted to a side character, so gets to live!

31:49 I mean to be fair Lilith dies in 2 of 3 routes and the only reason she survived in Revelations is because the plot just completely forgot about her existence after the route split, which honestly feels like a fate worse than death.

I believe an honorable mention goes out to Hector. While Lilina isnt a major chara ter gameplaywise, story wise she still warrents a gameover if she dies
