I have never thought that one day an official Fire Emblem PC installment would provide a plethora of skins for players to try out on various units, which is the norm among those infamous gacha mobile games. But by God I love it and it is so fun. Especially when Engage 's design draws heavily from Genshin Impact, a style I think purposely developed for selling online skins, so it would surprise me if chracters wouldn't look good in those outfits. I have to admit this adds to Engage's unique attractiveness when being friendly to modders. I can't wait to play the emulator version myself.
Watching this back and just wanted to note on the mods. The reason why everything is in the same folder is due to how it's 100 times easier to inject things into the list compared to trying to hard code a new menu without proper mod tools
In today stream: Mangs plays dress up with the cast like barbies doll, Yunaka neck bone grows twice it's sizes, and Boucheron is just.... Yass Queen. Perfect.
Super serious suggestion here for Alear’s outfit: Ponytail + Fell palette + Casual Outfit in Battle + Fell Child quotes + Dark Emblem Aura (the normal one, not Tiki’s). And class: Nel’s version of Fell Child + the King Areadbhar spear +5 + Crit Engraving. You’d really like it, as it brings out her design and performance to full potential.
epic stream! and an even more epic Alear! seriously you can just feel the raw energy of being a red unit but this stream was fun! rip to several units that died in the run
23:57-24:25 yes, you can. If you were paying attention to the game instead of chat, you would have noticed when you went to attack the 2nd unit, you were able to choose what weapon you wanted you use.
1:49:30 Narratively, the map should be easier than the last. The story may be bad but they're pretty decent at making the maps feel more or less threatening depending on the situation.
@@deathandrebirth-y8x Thankfully both of those are completely optional. I've personally chosen to just never use the well and never have since it came out.
Having fun catching up, Mangs. Dropping some comments as I watch! *"Diamant has higher strength than Amber, unless you mean his personal strength."* At that moment: Diamant: 13 str(+1 from roy), 50% growth Amber: 15 str(unbuffed), 55% growth Mangs Math.
For the super iron man, i think a better way to do it is just one try for each game. So either you win or die. And then keep track of win/lose, try to end positive. Then gaiden and thracia aren't the end, just long shots to add to the win list.
_Engage_ fans further vindicated. Very good... Here's hoping that opinion continues until the end. I have a feeling he's not going to beat it on this set of runs, if not just from lack of experience with the game, but if it's enjoyable enough to be on the Ironman "rotation" (if you can call it that), that'd be great. Also, gorgeous character "outfit" swaps. Personally, I hope the weird stuff stays, and more and more characters simply evolve from there, until the bulk of the cast is a mess, not necessarily intentionally. _The accidental wonkiness adds character to the run._ T-posing Yunaka, please never leave us...
So ummm, i’m replaying engage again on maddening difficulty. Decided to use the warrior Bouch, Etie, Panette, Amber and probably Kagetus run. What was so special about the early Levin sword. I know it so good on Empress(Celine) but what make the weapon so viable?
1:01:09 Yeah, it seems like the first impression with a game’s story can completely tank the general public views on it, regardless of how good the gameplay under it is. Homeworld 3 also suffers this fate.
I know it's an unpopular opinion but I don't understand why everyone prefers Japanese voices when they can't understand Japanese. I understand voices which are high pitched can be annoying... but the Japanese voices are just as high pitched? I see people being like "Oh Framme sounds so much better" but... she sounds even more high pitched in Japanese to me.
I normally agree with you. Especially since the quality of English voice acting in engage isn’t bad. I just think the dialogue is so cringe that it’s more painful hearing it in a language you understand. Think that’s more how mangs is thinking of it.
Gonna offer a hot take: Framme's VA did a great job in English. The character is supposed to be a hyperobsessed fangirl - the localization on the character toned her down a lot, she was very much an over the top comedic character in the original japanese, complete with wanting to bottle Alear's sweat and drink it. Is she cringy, perhaps(the japanese one is even more so, we are just less likely to register it as such because of the language barrier)? Maybe. But people are really not giving the VA a fair shake. It is kind of stunning to see the way both chat and Mangs shit all over Framme's voice while also defending Felicia's voice that the fans used to dislike and now thinking it sounds good. Framme's VA also did really great work in the Lackadaisy pilot, among other things. The worst voice in the english version is Etie, and it is not the fault of the VA, it is the culmination of the localization absolutely wrecking her. -The character's whole thing is being a small, cute, formal and very polite girl in terms of speech(think a bit of Maribelle) and that clashing with her whole obsession with getting built and strong. -Localization basically reduces this to "lol training" and sticks her with a buff girl voice with no formal, ladylike flavor to it at all, which also doesn't fit her small frame. She almost got butchered as bad as Effie did in Fates. For reference, Effie is a shrinking violet who nonetheless steps up and uses her strength(which she actually dislikes) for her lord. English version is 'lol I lift' to the point they straight up changed her character ending(japanese Effie stays with Elise as her lifelong friend, English leaves to travel the lands and teach fitness)
"Adult Anna looks so much better!" She really doesn't. The outfit is clearly made for the small design and looks a lot better on her, and as stated, the head model just looks off(both in size and face). Disliking kid characters is one thing(fair dues to those that do), but Anna's design looks good in Engage and just stuffing a different model into her outfit with an Anna wig is not "an improvement".
So wait, in this game you only get 2 skills to unlock and the game is find the quickest way to the end? I got to chapter 7 and realised this games trash. After you know the solution to a map it provides no value. The story sucks, the characters look crazy, the gameplays repetitive with 0 variations. All the characters literally have 1 class 1 weapon.
@@SpiralDemonic It kind of is, the intention is to pair the 2 skills with the 2 you get from a ring and then a personal. So in total its the exact same as fates 5. Theres not one solution to each map, you have a lot of flexibility. The game play has some of the most variation and replayability in the entire series. The writing is ass though.

@@mihaimercenarul7467 lol engage has some of the best designed maps in the series and the build freedom is much larger. You don't have to play optimally you can do challenge runs like iron man's. It's very moldable too. Currently doing a randomizer it's great.

When your ex unexpectedly shows up to your house:
IT'S TEA TIME!
Poor Yunaka, her skull was forcefully dislocated from her spine
I have never thought that one day an official Fire Emblem PC installment would provide a plethora of skins for players to try out on various units, which is the norm among those infamous gacha mobile games. But by God I love it and it is so fun. Especially when Engage 's design draws heavily from Genshin Impact, a style I think purposely developed for selling online skins, so it would surprise me if chracters wouldn't look good in those outfits. I have to admit this adds to Engage's unique attractiveness when being friendly to modders. I can't wait to play the emulator version myself.
Watching this back and just wanted to note on the mods.
The reason why everything is in the same folder is due to how it's 100 times easier to inject things into the list compared to trying to hard code a new menu without proper mod tools
Can't believe that mangs is not using vander and not petting rance at the end of the stream smh
In today stream: Mangs plays dress up with the cast like barbies doll, Yunaka neck bone grows twice it's sizes, and Boucheron is just.... Yass Queen. Perfect.
Still can't get over these silky-smooth frames and Alear's alt costume
Super serious suggestion here for Alear’s outfit:
Ponytail + Fell palette + Casual Outfit in Battle + Fell Child quotes + Dark Emblem Aura (the normal one, not Tiki’s).
And class:
Nel’s version of Fell Child + the King Areadbhar spear +5 + Crit Engraving.
You’d really like it, as it brings out her design and performance to full potential.
@Mangs, this feels like it has the makings for an Engage PMU.
The amount of customization the mods bring is crazy. Also RIP Jade
epic stream! and an even more epic Alear! seriously you can just feel the raw energy of being a red unit but this stream was fun! rip to several units that died in the run
23:57-24:25 yes, you can. If you were paying attention to the game instead of chat, you would have noticed when you went to attack the 2nd unit, you were able to choose what weapon you wanted you use.
Dude! My stomach, you are making me laugh at the start of the stream with those cursed outfits you picked with the characters.
💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
1:49:30 Narratively, the map should be easier than the last. The story may be bad but they're pretty decent at making the maps feel more or less threatening depending on the situation.
It’s crazy how much better Alear looks with the evil outfit and hair
It took 2 years, but Mangs finally admits Engage is great, just took a Maddening No DLC ironman, every single time.
Glad you're having fun though
Saying great is a bit of a stretch but the gameplay is definitely way better than the story content
the dlc and well messed up the difficulty.
@@deathandrebirth-y8x Thankfully both of those are completely optional. I've personally chosen to just never use the well and never have since it came out.
@@hanzou1238 im not sure about the weapon. is the volkwangr op? i never used it

Having fun catching up, Mangs. Dropping some comments as I watch!
*"Diamant has higher strength than Amber, unless you mean his personal strength."*
At that moment:

Also Mangs: I love Engage if I remove 70% of the game that I dont like.
So ummm, i’m replaying engage again on maddening difficulty. Decided to use the warrior Bouch, Etie, Panette, Amber and probably Kagetus run. What was so special about the early Levin sword. I know it so good on Empress(Celine) but what make the weapon so viable?

What mod did mangs use to unlock all the costumes?
I love and support Boucheron forever... I guess I'll learn how to braid hair
And one last suggestion for Alear alongside the ones I’ve already given.
Dragonstone.:)
"Adult Anna looks so much better!"
She really doesn't. The outfit is clearly made for the small design and looks a lot better on her, and as stated, the head model just looks off(both in size and face). Disliking kid characters is one thing(fair dues to those that do), but Anna's design looks good in Engage and just stuffing a different model into her outfit with an Anna wig is not "an improvement".
It's time to engage
Have you considered using Vander?
Well may not technically be taint, but it definitely screws up balance of the game imo
Also alongside Alear:
Dark Emblem mod + Infinite Engage mod.
