It's really funny to be saying this about a video mostly presented in still images, but this is incredibly well put together! The presentation is clean, your narration is nice to listen to, and your script doesn't waste any time. Gold standard challenge run content!
i saw the thumbnail, and clicked on another video before my brain registered what it was seeing. i immediately doubled back and clicked on this video when my brain caught up.
Before watching the video: I haven't touched Engage in ages (not because I hate it or anything, just been focused on other stuff, including other FEs) and I totally forgot the male Sage design looked like that... this has to be the thirstiest iteration of it in the series, lol. Anyway, I love this idea for a challenge run, I've been considering a mono-class run in Fates myself (though I doubt I'd do Sage's equivalent class Onmyoji there, it doesn't have great stats and the design doesn't really catch my eye). Looking forward to how the run pans out! Edit after watching the video: Great run! It's really nice to see how the Emblems and skill inheritance let you make distinct builds despite limiting yourself to a single class, and it was an enjoyable watch overall. I haven't cleared the game on Maddening yet myself, let alone with a restriction like this, and I was impressed!
If you're okay giving up staff access, there's always the possibility of a Conquest Sorceror solo run, that class outfit is pretty interesting as well. Also, Fates mono class runs are even cooler to plan out because you actually have to pair units in certain ways for class access, so that sounds like an awesome run to me!
Wow, so that's how the fishing minigame works! Turns out, i had the right idea with fishing up chromatic trout for bond fragments, but now I know how to do it more efficiently. Great video also!
I did something similar with the warrior class, because half of their upper body is just... not clothed at all xD Like, Engage really excelled at making the characters look really good. I am also currently playing through Three House with only grapplers for legitimately the same reason :D.
i realise this defeats the magic aspect of this run, but a Sage/Warrior run would allow the physical units to perform a bit more consistently whilst still being slutty men
Congrats you have convinced me to use sage Fogado for my next run of Engage. You made it look fun and it's a build I never would've consider but this wouldn't be the first time that I had a blast using something unorthodox. Looking at you sniper Citrinne.
I'm waiting for the Sniper only run, or the War/Wonder Woman run where you use only female units and it's just Swordmasters, Berserkers and Halberdiers
corrupted wyrms are prime targets for the fracture staff, which i ended up barely ever using, but it's a lot more convenient when you have an entire army of staff flunkies to work with.
I tried doing this challenge a few months ago but with only female sages, but also kept the characters with pref tome classes so celine, ivy, hortensia, veyle and zelestia. I might do another playthrough but with only either the sniper class or halberdier class.
Cool video. I haven't gotten around to beating Engage yet because I've been attempting my own challenge runs in fe6 & fe7 but keep failing. I'm too stubborn to give up bc I've been making progress every attempt. Also the convenience of being able to play fe6 & fe7 on my phone is awesome.
As a bisexual myself i would be curious to see two people do two challenge runs like this simultaneously, maybe in a race format. Like "fe engage: all male sages vs all female sages" You could even change what class youre using. If you wanted to.
Raging fire is so good, lowkey better than dire thunder especially late game, gave it to pandreo my first playthrough and he just outperformed everyone without an official emblem ring.
Yeah, being just a damage boost isn't a flashy as most Emblem rings, but if that's all you want then Lilina's genuinely the most impactful in many situations. Lilina an S tier Engage character for real for real
So much fun!! Thanks I tried an only magic run on path of radiance. Even if I managed to defeat chapter 4 ( with difficulty) and 5 easily, the chapter 6 is impossible...
I wanted to use Zelkov! I think his pose combined with the Sage fit makes him look really great. It's just he joins after the whole team can be reclassed, and he would take forever to get to LV21 with just the Arena.
I actually did consider Rafal, especially since he doesn't need a Master Seal at LV21, but I didn't really want to give him the necessarily level. That's 10 Arena uses that could go to someone like Amber!
Rip Louis xD either subpar as a Sage or not cute enough of a boi Like, even Bunet is in there 😂 I think Louis is pretty cute, but I agree the man should have combed his hair at the very least...
I like Louis' design well enough, but his character didn't leave the best first impression on me, and unlike Bunet he would have needed training + a Master Seal to get into Sage. As a unit I could have probably done something like I did with Amber, utilizing a physical emblem with his great Strength. But there's only so many Energy Drops, and I like Amber a whole lot more haha
Boy midriff
Boy midriff😩😳
Good post
We’re Engaging in homosexuality and i couldn’t be happier
Beautifully put
There's a reason the word gay also means happy!
"Our new cute recruits, and Bunet" 😭
I thought this run would make me like him more. Sadly I was wrong.
@@queenlyarts the only thing capable of making people like Bunet is his JP voice
@@leilahbrenda And DLC Fogado. Cannibalism makes Bunet more interesting than being Bunet.
Damn Bunet is such a bad unit, that he can't even quench this challenge runners thirst, and he's suppose to be a great chef smh.
I love how Lindon, the canonical male sage of the game, didn’t even get recruited cuz he didn’t have a midriff 😭
"Two of my favourite features in Fire Emblem have always been magic and attractive male characters"
Me too brother, me too 🤝
I’ve never felt more seen
same
Same here, thought I was the only one~
Unit reviews:
1:52 - Clanne - starts in mage
3:28 - Gregory - uniquely hot Sage outfit
3:59 - Alear - funny hair
5:45 - Alfred - absolute cutie
5:58 - Diamant - absolute hottie
9:57 - Boucheron - abs
11:10 - Alcryst - on-theme as a ranged attacker
11:20 - Amber - funny
Mauvier in “not my type”
How dare you. Midriff from the middle aged is the greatest of treats.
Rosado absolutely EATS in the sage outfit
He eats in any outfit he's in tho, specially Wolf Knight and Sniper imo
Fun Fact : Rosado uses the Female Character Model according to in-game files.

finally, good fire emblem content on youtube
thumbnail and pinned comment instantly got me to subscribe this content is clearly up my alley
UA-cam algorithm knows me too well.
As someone who also appreciates Mages and Cute Guys - I full respect this hustle. Making your dreams reality.
I'm so glad that i'm not the only one loving that sage outfit, the devs really said "let's make the male units slutty for once" lol
Waiter! More man midriffs in Fire Emblem please!
Your knowledge and application on Emblems and skills are insane!!! Deserve 1 million views ❤❤
Pfft that "uh sorry honey you have to be brave me for me" got me Chuckling
Brilliant content. Any doubts I had about this game’s art style are wiped away with the choice to include this incredible costume ahaha
These outfits are purely functionnal...I swear !! 🥵
From concept to execution, this run was beautiful (in more ways than one)! Def earned a new sub and I look forward to seeing what else you cook up!

@queenlyarts Glad you think so! Sorc isn't a bad idea, I appreciate the suggestion!
As a bi girl, this has inspired me to do the exact opposite over the holiday season: all female Warriors/Berserkers/Heroes
You are so real for this video!! Respect. I, too, love fire emblem baddies.
Wow, so that's how the fishing minigame works! Turns out, i had the right idea with fishing up chromatic trout for bond fragments, but now I know how to do it more efficiently. Great video also!
Thanks! I'm glad I was able to bless/curse you with this knowledge.
Finally some good freaking FE content. Keep it up!
Kind of a missed opportunity not naming Alear "Magic Mike" for the run 😅
Makes me feel better about using 3 to 4 sages on regular runs lol
You are *the* diva for this
This is an incredible run! Always wanted to see everyone in that outfit anyway lol
PEAK HAS ARRIVED!
my man mauvierrrrrr
OMG Im so happy i found your channel! Inmediately subscribed
Found your channel through the sync marathon and the content you put out is aomething i know ill enjoy
I did something similar with the warrior class, because half of their upper body is just... not clothed at all xD Like, Engage really excelled at making the characters look really good. I am also currently playing through Three House with only grapplers for legitimately the same reason :D.
i realise this defeats the magic aspect of this run, but a Sage/Warrior run would allow the physical units to perform a bit more consistently whilst still being slutty men
Thanks youtube for recommending me this based video. I'll be staying here for the good content
Now we gotta see a warrior version. Those low waisted pants are...i shant say
Congrats you have convinced me to use sage Fogado for my next run of Engage. You made it look fun and it's a build I never would've consider but this wouldn't be the first time that I had a blast using something unorthodox. Looking at you sniper Citrinne.
incredible way to gain a new subscriber, absolute peak
clanne needs a shirt, the pickle is COLD
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SINCE THE CLANNE IKE TANK VIDEO OMGGGGGG
Boucheron and Mauvier my beloved >
I'm waiting for the Sniper only run, or the War/Wonder Woman run where you use only female units and it's just Swordmasters, Berserkers and Halberdiers
I was thinking thing this but you can cheat a bit and use Things like Levin Swords and Flame Lances for those that are less physically inclined
Truly, playing the way God intended
oh ABSOLUTELY we love to see taste
I really didn't care for a lot of the boys in this game as characters, but they are almost all some high quality eye candy, so I approve of this run!
Move, I just found a new way to play engage! Also, divorcing Diamant for Mauvier in that outfit!
corrupted wyrms are prime targets for the fracture staff, which i ended up barely ever using, but it's a lot more convenient when you have an entire army of staff flunkies to work with.
I tried doing this challenge a few months ago but with only female sages, but also kept the characters with pref tome classes so celine, ivy, hortensia, veyle and zelestia. I might do another playthrough but with only either the sniper class or halberdier class.
Nice! Snipers-only sounds like a really cool run.
Now this is the type of run we needed 👏🏻
Alear rrally had a bass pro fishing arc huh
Cool video. I haven't gotten around to beating Engage yet because I've been attempting my own challenge runs in fe6 & fe7 but keep failing. I'm too stubborn to give up bc I've been making progress every attempt.
Also the convenience of being able to play fe6 & fe7 on my phone is awesome.
I'm all fine with Fogado getting a pact ring, I just have others who I want to give to me, specifically Boucheron, Diamant and Mauvier
As a bisexual myself i would be curious to see two people do two challenge runs like this simultaneously, maybe in a race format. Like "fe engage: all male sages vs all female sages"

The fujoshis are going to have a field day with this one.
Every male Sage except thee male Sage himself Lindon? I see how it is
So sad that they dont have any cute boys with a soft tummy folks, folks we love boys but we especially love softer boys that are warm folks.
Great run
So much fun!! Thanks
I tried an only magic run on path of radiance. Even if I managed to defeat chapter 4 ( with difficulty) and 5 easily, the chapter 6 is impossible...
massive respect for the premise alone
me with my harem of male warrior class.
I LOVE MEN
i did something similar with the females. jade is a surprisingly great sage ^^
We need all warrior run
Im sorry... THE SAGES ARE HOT
Zesty emblem 💅
This is peak challenge-running
As a 39 year old Bisexual, I was crying tears of joy. Finally some good content on UA-cam!❤
Where did Zelkov, Louis, and Vander go? I mean Vander could've stayed home fine, but Zelkov?? And my husband, Louis??
I wanted to use Zelkov! I think his pose combined with the Sage fit makes him look really great. It's just he joins after the whole team can be reclassed, and he would take forever to get to LV21 with just the Arena.
Oooh boys❤
fogado based af!!!
I'm not gay, but I did genuinely make Rosado a Sage for the outfit...
This makes me even more bisexual
'cute boys' and you didn't use rafal bruhhhh
I actually did consider Rafal, especially since he doesn't need a Master Seal at LV21, but I didn't really want to give him the necessarily level. That's 10 Arena uses that could go to someone like Amber!
I think we need a run now to give all the Girls a chance to shine,
real
Yeah....i made a lot of male units sages for the tums. Somehow its still not enough
No Lindon?
Ig he's too old to qualify as a boy anymore 😂
Which makes me wonder, what game would work better for an "old man yaoi run" now...
Now do warriors 🎉
Rip Louis xD either subpar as a Sage or not cute enough of a boi
Like, even Bunet is in there 😂 I think Louis is pretty cute, but I agree the man should have combed his hair at the very least...
I like Louis' design well enough, but his character didn't leave the best first impression on me, and unlike Bunet he would have needed training + a Master Seal to get into Sage. As a unit I could have probably done something like I did with Amber, utilizing a physical emblem with his great Strength. But there's only so many Energy Drops, and I like Amber a whole lot more haha
RIP Lindon I guess, too old for gender apparently. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
No wait maybe engage is good
☠️
Gregory’s last Pro 🤌🤌🤌
