Holy crap, you right. Never even occurred to me he is the modern version of Roy in melee lol. Roy was cooler though, he came with a pool noodle, meaning he technically was a summer alt in disguise.
I think what's also not helping Engage is that the average Fire Emblem fan simply does not gaf about CYL anymore. The top 20 in both divisions this year are full of characters who are either FEH OCs, previous FEH meta dominant characters, or characters who otherwise have a strong history in FEH through memes or a strong desire from players for that character to receive literally anything at all (i.e. TMS). The numbers kinda tell this story too, there was a pretty noticeable drop in CYL turnout over the past couple of years.
I don’t think that’s “not gaf” about CYL so much as it is ACTUALLY gaf. They’re gonna shove Engage down our throats through 2/3 of the seasonal banners this year PLUS with at least two New Heroes banners, so there’s really no draw for anyone to vote for them. If the top 20 has meme picks, it’s because people want to see unique characters. Plus I don’t think Engage is as popular as people think it is…
@@unknownentity5354 If u think that u was not playing FEH at the first years of it's life. Azura was like the first dancer that was actually insane and all her first few variants were pretty meta relevant Black Knight was also a pretty strong and popular FEH character on his release, even tho probably not to the same extent as azura
The fact that Eik won is crazy to me. Literally the only thing people know about him is that he has muscles and is big on family. The FEH community voted for Dom Torreto with hair.
Are we forgetting baldur has basically done less than Eik and she won? Or what about gullveig at the time? Honestly I think the ppl that were pissed about the "hottest female oc winning cyl after being introduced 2 weeks ago" decided to give up.
@@OrangeH2O Well for someone like me who was genuinely angry about Gullveig winning and is even more annoyed about Baldr winning, what are you gonna do? You can't force people to not vote for her, besides rambling on social media for days on end.
@@ResurgentRaven I just quit the game I fully recognized that the game is and kinda always has been about fan service to a particular audience (EVEN MORE SO NOW)...and at one point I even gave in to that mentality even deciding to join them and root for some men to get fan service since that's all ppl care about nowadays but that's not me so I just gave up and quit feh. Sharena and byleth earned their spot so I'm ecstatic about them and I feel like Eik is in some form a retaliation to the gullveig cyl situation so I guess I'm happy??? But I would prefer if we just had different ppl to replace Eik and Baldy
@tbc1880 you’re absolutely right, I completely forgot but still losing two years isn’t that bad. The only way i see them impossible to win is with a new game release
@@luckluca8982 Thracia makes sense, I love that game but it's just not that popular to begin with. Something like FE4 at least has a strong fanbase in Japan and even some western groups which aren't as big for Thracia; TMS is just in a sad place where they just don't get new banners at all (I have a strong feeling it's not IS that's keeping them from having a banner, likely other licensing issues.)
@@yansantiago8309 thracia got everything stacked against it in terms of popularity. terrible release date, japan exclusive, poor fan translations, weird learning curve... no wonder it struggles with getting attention. reinhardt is a walking meme, but otherwise the thracia cast kind of just... appear. just more slots on an ever expanding roster. most of them do not even get alts (for now, i can only recall leif, mareeta, and reinhardt having alts. lifis technically has an alt, but his default form is not in the game)
I came back to see what FEH was like these days and when I clicked a weapon to see the description, it filled my entire phone screen with the text. I think I’m good, sorry FEH 😂
@@anneke_yep2407 Yeah I played on and off throughout the years and everytime I come back the text just gets longer and longer and more randoms stuff is added into the game it’s overwhelming 😭 I might return just to save up and pull for cyl Eik because he is handsome 🤭🤭 Its 8th anniv too so good time to come back, even if I do just end up quitting again later on lolol
That's because Three Houses was just so vastly different from other Fire Emblem games in both story and gameplay that it's a genuinely fresh experience. Meanwhile Engage's plot is basically "evil dragon is bad"... *_again_* .
Of course. It's somewhat gave the same energy and comparisons to other video game series out there like Pokémon Scarlet/Violet vs. Legends Arceus for Pokémon or Mortal Kombat 1 vs. Mortal Kombat 11 in terms of quality.
You know, when I threw in votes for Heroes OCs, thinking "Haha there's no way an OCs is going win this year too", I didn't expected to be proven wrong 3 times lol
I think the worst thing to come off of this is now all the harassment Engage fans have been getting because of them not winning stuff, plus the entire Baldr thing where the VA literally got a death threat less than an hour after the results were shown. Nowadays (least from personal experience and seeing it), people just get insulted for liking Engage, and this was just more ammo for people to insult others. I've gotten personal death threats for SAYING I like Engage, and CYL really amplified said behavior. With the picks themselves, I'm neutral, I dont mind them, but MAN, this year is gonna be rough to be an Engage fan publicly
And this is why I hate people. Really. Engage is my favorite Fire Emblem game and I'm really angry about how humans treats People who likes Engage like shit. 😡 I'm tired of this. If any single person does bad jokes about Engage in front of me I will not just standing still and do nothing. This is guaranteed.
While it suck people been throwing around death threat. And it shit that this toxic behaviour still continues. Ask a Edelgard fan and they will bring up how many times people got sent Death Threat, Rape and Gore both the fiction and non-fictional kind with people also getting target for a hate campaign over making a well received Edeleth fic. The problem with what happening to the Engage is simply toxic reactions to Engage fans own toxic action this past. Engage has for the past. Been actively shitting on any FE game that isn’t Engage. This especially the case with 3House. They also complain about new 3House unit in FeH despite Engage getting more unit in year that all other games. It no wonder why people were joking about Engage not getting any unit in CYL. Because frankly the engage community were being arseholes with a victim complex for no good reason.
I voted for Baldr and I am very proud. I also voted for Diamant and F!Alear. Screw the haters! Engage is my favorite FE game to date and YES I played Three Houses.
Engage is literally just a case of suffering from success, especially in the female bracket. Literally 30% of the total votes in the female top 10 went to Engage characters. The problem isn't a lack of popularity. It's TOO many popular characters causing vote splits.
I don't know where those of you who say that get that from, Fe3h never had that problem and in its first two years almost the entire top 20 was the 3h cast and even so they have been winning since its launch. Literally engage and fe3h have the same amount of characters in the top 20 and yet fe3h has managed to have Byleth as the second winner. It's the lack of popularity of engage, if they were popular it wouldn't matter anything else.
i think the simpler answer is that characterization is not the selling point of engage. it is a fairly common consensus that the story and characters are bad, but the gameplay is great. kind of makes it an uphill battle for any character popularity polls
@@MorganDeacetisi dislike engage as well. Good ass gameplay, but i could care less about the story and its characters at all. Only ones i wouldnt mind for are prince diamant and his lil bro
RRRAAHH shut the hell up, engage characters winning that soon with some old characters that didn't even get the chance to win? Can't anyone in that community be logic for one second. Pff
The only thing I dislike about St Valentine banner is the characters. Sadly both Byleths got their alts (Jehanna F! Byleth and Brave M! Byleth) but my god they could've added anyone but the 3 leaders. This was the moment to bring Jeralt Sitri and Alois, or an alt for Seteth and Flayn
Same. I also love this game is lot. It's my favorite and doesn't deserve hate at all. I get that it's not perfect but still it's not a bad game. I wouldn't be a Fire Emblem Fan if Engage doesn't release. Not even getting a single CYL vote for two years sucks. I'm getting really mad it this happens again next year and people starts laughing. It's not funny.
I got into it last year and playing it together with a friend of mine was one of the best experiences ive had with videogames in my life. Love this game to shreds Not mad about ivy tho I don't even like ivy in engage anyway
I like Engage but let's be real... the characters are always gonna get wiped by any Three Houses rep. If Engage put more value into the support conversations, or just fleshed out characters better, we wouldn't have this issue. Unfortunately Engage is up against hot OCs and Three Houses and now FE4 and now Fates and now... you get it.
Shoutout to that one guy in that forum that STILL complains about fatesawakening unit spam while completely ignoring that we got a full 3H banner on the same FEH channel
I know that Engage is like the black sheep to the community, but I didn't know it was this bad. I think the game is fine. Probably because it's so anime compared to, like, the Telius duology.
Eh, it's just that those characters and stories aren't that good. Plus the game is suffering from severe bloat of characters. The gameplay is fun, yeah. But there's not much memorable outside of the gameplay.
If you compare it to Tellius, yeah it looks like hot garbage. But stack it up against the other questionable games in the series like Shadow Dragon and Binding Blade and Engage claps them easily.
I really wanted to see some Engage representation but maybe next time. However, it might be best for me to steer clear of topics surrounding CYL for a bit because I fear it will be dominated by people obnoxiously calling Engage a failure and that it’s characters don’t deserve a brave alt. I know ZeShado has an aptitude for sarcasm but for the sake of reassurance, I hope doesn’t genuinely mean anything bad towards Engage.
Fire Emblem fans endlessly joking about and exaggerating the flaws of an overall alright entry in the series in an attempt to be funny? We really haven’t moved past the Fates era, have we?
@@Pit_Icaruson one hand the fates era wasn't this bad on the other, i literally had no clue the game released when it did. Like i think game would have done better if it had more marketing before release. It also just is so aescetically different but not in a uniform way like fates did such that i personally am turned off by the designs. Its also supposed to be an anniversary game but i think awakening did that job better and more naturally. Sure can't just do awakening 2 but should have taken more from it idea wise.
@tbc1880 Not to solely single them out as it is fans of the older games as well, but I've especially noticed a lot of vitriol towards Engage is from Three Houses fans (and I've seen instances of it in this comment section already lmao) CYL results don't reflect popularity or quality lol, by that standpoint the fandom darlings of Genealogy and Tellius are dogshit because they've both only won once.
Alright IS, give Byleth the Felix treatment and make him the best unit on the banner despite being the runner up plz and ty Edit: i summoned on colorless and got Leo... Why tf we gotta have the demotes in the free summon pool AND make the colors you can pull still be random too
I saw 4 demotes out of 12 in colorless and noped the hell out of choosing that one, just to pick red and get a demote anyway (but it was NY!Tana so it could’ve been a lot worse).
NY!Tana being arguably the best unit out of the red pool (and top 3 of all 4 colors)... ATLEAST you'll use your summon. (Coping because all I wanted was either a Tana for merge or Shield Fighter the unit.
I specifically avoided colorless on the special hero summon banner when I saw that a third of them were 4* units and pulled a Valentine Ephraim instead
Extremely happy about Sharena, especially after her big bro won last year. Eikthernir is a character I’m also happy for, same with Male Byleth (I prefer the female alt though), and Baldr I’m neutral on. Personally, I think Gulvieg was/is worse, but that’s just me.
@@PenguinWithInternetAccessthis, taking a look at story Baldr, and them assuming the CYL version has to be an upgrade with an added prf skill, it’s gonna get bloody.
Actually what i kinda want is for Baldr to get her Mythic before her Brave alt. Only because they can establish her style of play and for the brave can expand and better it. I felt back then that Mythic Gull was better than her earlier Brave alt.
This isnt about Engage or Sigurd anymore. Being able to vote for these flavor of the month ocs so early is ridiculous. IS literally cancelled all their other side content for FEH so what is even the point if stuff like this can randomly happen. Worst CYL and it isnt even close. Baldr has literally had like 5 lines guys come tf on
It's sort of a weird line up of circunstances. Engage has a decent following for their fan favorites, but also split their votes super evenly. 3h fans rallied behind Byleth and the "meme" votes behind the OCs and Formortis defo shook up not just the Engage positions, but also took from the Tokyo Mirage characters & Azura and Sigurd
I am begging Engage fans to just focus on 1 unit, maybe a 2nd for the other gender next year because this is getting embarrassing. Yes I am still laughing.
I wouldn't mind Azura and Tsubasa winning CYL 10 next, that would be cool and amazing though I will still vote for Freyja, she is my favorite FEH OC and I hope she eventually wins one day...
I assume most of the community just started with FEH before playing the actual FE series (i too started with FEH and finished FE (chrom and robin) and almost finish Fates)
As a day one Sharena truther, I am glad she won but honestly so worried they might just make her alt like "Not King Alfonse. Guys she's not the ruler. Guys she's the princess guys-" she deserves something cool. Honestly- her being Askr's future Diplomat would be really neat and they could go that direction... I'm just... so worried lol
What's worse about all this is that i've seen nobody actually saying "oh let's organize better so we can make Ivy win at least", no, instead i've seen tons of people claiming to support Azura next year, Tsubasa is getting tons of pity-voters as well considering how high she got this year (i'll be voting her too btw, my only chance to get my boy Touma even if i doesn't work), and that's not to mention any possible new OCs for Book 10. And on the male's side no Engage character has a chance, Sigurd is guaranteed (and that's not including the possibility of a FE4 remake, in which case he'll just sweep), Sylvain is also getting tons of support right now and unless he gets Lance of Ruin this year i can see most of Male Byleth's voters flocking to Sylvain, Fomortiis may get a boost too.
Hero fast banners are always there for new players, so emblem Marth gives them access to a ring, and a unit that can clear lots of PVE stuff, destroy the older books to get those orbs Game is hard to get into for new players, but they can grind lots of orbs to get lots of really good heroes atleast
Not gonna lie, I kinda hate reindeer boi for various petty reasons. Specially bcs it took away the opportunity of having an epic duo of Byleth + Sigurd, but it is VERY funny how far simps will go for a couple of muscles and cardboard personality. So, in the end I can’t be too mad about it. Also, great Sharenna win! Now we need to get Anna and we will be Gucci.
Best colour is blue since it has the least demotes. Colourless is worst since you have a 1/3 chance of getting a 4 star demote, so at least you lucked out.
I will admit that three FEH OCs is excessive (they should limit it to one character per game at this rate), but at least they chose great characters like Sharena, Baldr and Buff Deer Guy who I cannot remember the name of. And to everyone whining that Baldr is a 'wasted slot' because she isn't playable yet... 1) Y'all said that about Gullveig back in CYL7 and weren't upset about it once it was revealed she was madly in love with the summoner (like 90% of female FEH OCs), so stop making assumptions before we learn more about her. As long as she doesn't become obsessed with the summoner, I'm cool with her. 2) She's a goddess with large ta-ta's. For a franchise aimed at teens. What did you think was gonna happen?
I got TWO 5 star Clannes trying to get the cute ponytail Alear last summer. I sure as hell wasn't risking a third one. I think the reason there was nothing to hate from this Feh Channel was that they didn't introduce a new game mode.
Technically Engage Didn't lose, As Male Byleth is The Emblem for Three Houses, making Male Canon over Female Engage is not THAT bad though, does it have a Worse story that Three Houses, yes, Is it the worst in the Franachise, Absolutely Not, that goes to Fates Revelations
I’ve actually got an “off” banner seasonal unit once but it was one of seasonal units on the banner😅 it did whole 4* special summon animation and everything it was the bathhouse banner
I might vote azura next year fr fr cause I got the heroes ocs I wanted but like helbindi is who I really want he has such good development as a villain but that’s a pipe dream
At least you got spd/def tempo fodder. I got spring Mirabilis, a good unit, but I already have one at +1. I'm not planning on getting+10 so it's almost like I got nothing.
Got ice fjorm for my pull and I fed her to ascended frjorm. Days like these are when I wish that we could upgrade her special. But otherwise yeah they have the exact same builds.
I mean sharena deserves it last year was alphonse now is her turn to shine. And Baldr desing caught many eyes, plus when her face expressions were post every one adore her cute shy face. Not cool some sour losers attack Sam Slade sending threats for winning second place like sheeesh yall are wack. Theres always a next time.
Personally not surprised about Engage losing, I don’t think anyone really played it for the characters or the story. None of them are particularly compelling to me and it seems i’m not alone in that opinion. Sharena however, that is genuinely baffling to me. She is easily the most insipid Heroes OC in the entire catalogue.
They didn't give us more barrack slots. They did not add those old legendaries to the arena tickects, did they? I should probably use that item on Legendary Ninian to have all legendaries, should I not? Could you vote for Attuned Eirika for AHR? She's attuned and I knida want to +10 an Attuned unit.
Byleth secretly being a FEH oc must be kinda hilarious but true.
Holy crap, you right. Never even occurred to me he is the modern version of Roy in melee lol. Roy was cooler though, he came with a pool noodle, meaning he technically was a summer alt in disguise.
FEH SWEEP
Roy is secretly a Smash OC.

Third time’s the charm right?
Is this what copium tastes like?
Tell that to Bill fans
CYL continuing to prove FE fans have horrid taste 😂
2017…. 12 years ago 😢😢
*8 MORE YEARS OF FODLAN*
I really wanted to see some Engage representation but maybe next time. However, it might be best for me to steer clear of topics surrounding CYL for a bit because I fear it will be dominated by people obnoxiously calling Engage a failure and that it’s characters don’t deserve a brave alt. I know ZeShado has an aptitude for sarcasm but for the sake of reassurance, I hope doesn’t genuinely mean anything bad towards Engage.
Fire Emblem fans endlessly joking about and exaggerating the flaws of an overall alright entry in the series in an attempt to be funny? We really haven’t moved past the Fates era, have we?
@@Pit_Icarus All while they suck the dick of Three Houses, the shitty Romance of the Three Kingdoms attempt that wasn't even that good.
@@Pit_Icarusoh it was happening before that. FE7 fans mocked how easy FE8 was
@@Pit_Icaruson one hand the fates era wasn't this bad on the other, i literally had no clue the game released when it did. Like i think game would have done better if it had more marketing before release. It also just is so aescetically different but not in a uniform way like fates did such that i personally am turned off by the designs. Its also supposed to be an anniversary game but i think awakening did that job better and more naturally. Sure can't just do awakening 2 but should have taken more from it idea wise.
@tbc1880 Not to solely single them out as it is fans of the older games as well, but I've especially noticed a lot of vitriol towards Engage is from Three Houses fans (and I've seen instances of it in this comment section already lmao)
CYL results don't reflect popularity or quality lol, by that standpoint the fandom darlings of Genealogy and Tellius are dogshit because they've both only won once.
Alright IS, give Byleth the Felix treatment and make him the best unit on the banner despite being the runner up plz and ty
Edit: i summoned on colorless and got Leo... Why tf we gotta have the demotes in the free summon pool AND make the colors you can pull still be random too
"erm uh acshuallyyy the reason why engage lost is bc all of their characters are so good that the votes are completely split" 🤓
Maybe next year will be Fomorrtis year!
I can't believe we got 8 years of Nintendo switch.
Wait...
And Fire Emblem Heroes.
If cyl had taught me anything, it’s that the meme picks when every time
I can’t take it anymore guys
Why.
I saw 4 demotes out of 12 in colorless and noped the hell out of choosing that one, just to pick red and get a demote anyway (but it was NY!Tana so it could’ve been a lot worse).
NY!Tana being arguably the best unit out of the red pool (and top 3 of all 4 colors)... ATLEAST you'll use your summon. (Coping because all I wanted was either a Tana for merge or Shield Fighter the unit.
i picked colourless for H!Askr and got Duo Lucina lmfao 😭
@@TheBoodercgwhat did you end up getting?
I specifically avoided colorless on the special hero summon banner when I saw that a third of them were 4* units and pulled a Valentine Ephraim instead
I got 5 colorless orbs so was sure I was gonna get something useless, but I got bridal Embla instead
I'm sorry, I blinked. Who lost CYL?
was a devout alfonse and sharena voter
Extremely happy about Sharena, especially after her big bro won last year. Eikthernir is a character I’m also happy for, same with Male Byleth (I prefer the female alt though), and Baldr I’m neutral on. Personally, I think Gulvieg was/is worse, but that’s just me.
I literally thought her axe was a staff PLEASE GIVE ME AN EDELGARD ALT THAT DOES SOMETHING DIFFERENT PLEASE
You'll get another player-phase armor with 3 move and you will like it.
It was the same for me as well.
3 heroes characters in the top 4 is hysterical
Engage: No way, I was this close! How terrible it must to never win one of these.
Thracia: Tell me about it.
The thumbnail turned my soul into ash. I feel nothing.
Good pun.
Vote Winter Eddie purely out of spite.
exactly my plan
Don't forget, this means we're getting *another* three years of Three Houses discourse!
baldr is said to be invincible, how would they translate that into an alt? maybe they'll give her 100% special damage reduction lol
Niđhöggr levels of flat DR probably
Looking at her story weapon it's gonna be big amounts of flat DR probably
Probably just makes your allies invincible, nothing that crazy.
@@PenguinWithInternetAccessthis, taking a look at story Baldr, and them assuming the CYL version has to be an upgrade with an added prf skill, it’s gonna get bloody.
Her story alt has like 70 True DR or something like that, so maybe something along those lines.
Ivy in shambles
"This unit is going to rot in my barracks, I did not want him."
Same...
Actually what i kinda want is for Baldr to get her Mythic before her Brave alt. Only because they can establish her style of play and for the brave can expand and better it. I felt back then that Mythic Gull was better than her earlier Brave alt.
This isnt about Engage or Sigurd anymore. Being able to vote for these flavor of the month ocs so early is ridiculous. IS literally cancelled all their other side content for FEH so what is even the point if stuff like this can randomly happen. Worst CYL and it isnt even close. Baldr has literally had like 5 lines guys come tf on
I blame Baldr's victory on fans being horny. Same thing for Goat man.
I agree!
@@tbc1880 Sharena deserves the love though to be fair. She's my favorite of the Askr trio. About time she wins.
I'm gonna be honest I was pissed when gullveig won...but instead of fighting them I joined them 😭
oh i love voting for ocs, yum!
now that both alfonse and sharenna have brave alt, i can go back to voting for fjorm
Day 1 of campaing "Fjorm for CyL10"
Ivy has become the new Bernadetta.
It's sort of a weird line up of circunstances. Engage has a decent following for their fan favorites, but also split their votes super evenly. 3h fans rallied behind Byleth and the "meme" votes behind the OCs and Formortis defo shook up not just the Engage positions, but also took from the Tokyo Mirage characters & Azura and Sigurd
What will come first, brave Sigurd or EOS?
The most lively ZeShado has ever been in a video recently
7:41 the random star bomb transition caught me so off guard lmfao
I am begging Engage fans to just focus on 1 unit, maybe a 2nd for the other gender next year because this is getting embarrassing.
Yes I am still laughing.
I wouldn't mind Azura and Tsubasa winning CYL 10 next, that would be cool and amazing
though I will still vote for Freyja, she is my favorite FEH OC and I hope she eventually wins one day...
3 OCs is way too much and 1 3H rep is also too much
Everything is too much
I assume most of the community just started with FEH before playing the actual FE series (i too started with FEH and finished FE (chrom and robin) and almost finish Fates)
As a day one Sharena truther, I am glad she won but honestly so worried they might just make her alt like "Not King Alfonse. Guys she's not the ruler. Guys she's the princess guys-" she deserves something cool. Honestly- her being Askr's future Diplomat would be really neat and they could go that direction... I'm just... so worried lol
What's worse about all this is that i've seen nobody actually saying "oh let's organize better so we can make Ivy win at least", no, instead i've seen tons of people claiming to support Azura next year, Tsubasa is getting tons of pity-voters as well considering how high she got this year (i'll be voting her too btw, my only chance to get my boy Touma even if i doesn't work), and that's not to mention any possible new OCs for Book 10.
And on the male's side no Engage character has a chance, Sigurd is guaranteed (and that's not including the possibility of a FE4 remake, in which case he'll just sweep), Sylvain is also getting tons of support right now and unless he gets Lance of Ruin this year i can see most of Male Byleth's voters flocking to Sylvain, Fomortiis may get a boost too.
Hero fast banners are always there for new players, so emblem Marth gives them access to a ring, and a unit that can clear lots of PVE stuff, destroy the older books to get those orbs
Game is hard to get into for new players, but they can grind lots of orbs to get lots of really good heroes atleast
Not gonna lie, I kinda hate reindeer boi for various petty reasons. Specially bcs it took away the opportunity of having an epic duo of Byleth + Sigurd, but it is VERY funny how far simps will go for a couple of muscles and cardboard personality. So, in the end I can’t be too mad about it. Also, great Sharenna win! Now we need to get Anna and we will be Gucci.
God. I wanted to hear Zeshado’s opinion on what color to pick on the hero chooses banner and then I get 5 colorless. Am I cooked?
Nvm I got Embla
Best colour is blue since it has the least demotes. Colourless is worst since you have a 1/3 chance of getting a 4 star demote, so at least you lucked out.
This is exactly why I have more than one account
1:00 I glad did my part for the sharenatio.
Now let's get hero Anna next year to complete the trilogy
I will admit that three FEH OCs is excessive (they should limit it to one character per game at this rate), but at least they chose great characters like Sharena, Baldr and Buff Deer Guy who I cannot remember the name of. And to everyone whining that Baldr is a 'wasted slot' because she isn't playable yet...
1) Y'all said that about Gullveig back in CYL7 and weren't upset about it once it was revealed she was madly in love with the summoner (like 90% of female FEH OCs), so stop making assumptions before we learn more about her. As long as she doesn't become obsessed with the summoner, I'm cool with her.
2) She's a goddess with large ta-ta's. For a franchise aimed at teens. What did you think was gonna happen?
6:29 not the ashen wolves shade 😭😭😭
its so over
but there's always next year
right?
Don't worry the Brave Banner might add the 3rd place this year. We might have 6 Brave Heroes for Surprise.
I got Clanne too so I feel you Z. Going to go cry in the corner now.
Maybe we are getting Engage in CYL next year. Unless they remake Holy War and Sigurd is going to win.
I got TWO 5 star Clannes trying to get the cute ponytail Alear last summer. I sure as hell wasn't risking a third one.
I think the reason there was nothing to hate from this Feh Channel was that they didn't introduce a new game mode.
8:18 this arena map does at least have the chance to be funny if the AI uses warping shenanigans and gets a ranged unit trapped in the middle.
Technically Engage Didn't lose, As Male Byleth is The Emblem for Three Houses, making Male Canon over Female
Engage is not THAT bad though, does it have a Worse story that Three Houses, yes, Is it the worst in the Franachise, Absolutely Not, that goes to Fates Revelations
Never give up Engage fans!
I’ve actually got an “off” banner seasonal unit once but it was one of seasonal units on the banner😅 it did whole 4* special summon animation and everything it was the bathhouse banner
Engage, you're supposed to sweep, not get swept
I'd love to Brave Baldr come out and get powercreeped a month later by her original version. :D
I might vote azura next year fr fr cause I got the heroes ocs I wanted but like helbindi is who I really want he has such good development as a villain but that’s a pipe dream
Next year, Azura and Tsubasa, plus Sigurd and Fomo will legit be the greatest banner.
Whoever keeps voting for Touma and Cain each year has to be one of the most devoted people in the world
Thanks (I'm Touma's strongest soldier)
I’m so sorry, ZeShado
Hot deer man won first place! 🥳🥳🥳
I'm Def going to be voting tsubasa next year
TMS LETS GOOOOO NEXT YEAR FOR SURE RIGHT GUYS!?
I got Ice Tribe Flora. I feel your pain.
I love Hubert and I don't care he is bad, I will make him the best unit ever, somehow
I'VE BEEN VOTING AZURA FOR 8 YEARS STRAIGHT PLEASE T_TT_T
Damn, I would've built Hubert if he wasn't armored. I love his art though
At least you got spd/def tempo fodder. I got spring Mirabilis, a good unit, but I already have one at +1. I'm not planning on getting+10 so it's almost like I got nothing.
Got ice fjorm for my pull and I fed her to ascended frjorm.
Days like these are when I wish that we could upgrade her special. But otherwise yeah they have the exact same builds.
2017 was 12 years ago??? Damn.
What a horrifying laugh.
9:58 "Me with my duo fyorm that I gave to A!Hector for duplication". Cry about it.
I mean sharena deserves it last year was alphonse now is her turn to shine.
And Baldr desing caught many eyes, plus when her face expressions were post every one adore her cute shy face.
Not cool some sour losers attack Sam Slade sending threats for winning second place like sheeesh yall are wack.
Theres always a next time.
Next CYL we voting for Sommie
ivy gang we got it next year trust, need some support from the alear voters 🙏
Personally not surprised about Engage losing, I don’t think anyone really played it for the characters or the story. None of them are particularly compelling to me and it seems i’m not alone in that opinion.
Sharena however, that is genuinely baffling to me. She is easily the most insipid Heroes OC in the entire catalogue.
They didn't give us more barrack slots.
They did not add those old legendaries to the arena tickects, did they?
I should probably use that item on Legendary Ninian to have all legendaries, should I not?
Could you vote for Attuned Eirika for AHR? She's attuned and I knida want to +10 an Attuned unit.
