- Berkut was a really interesting additional character who wasn't originally in Gaiden. They did a good job at fleshing him out.

Game just switches to "you got Keepsake Ring" with a happy tone
Dang Nintendo XD
Still a memento, through
Listless I thought the same in FE4 Eldigan's death just after talking to him with Lachesis, he reconsiders his ways and tries to end the war just to get executed and disgraced as a knight, then you get the happy sound with “you got the Earth Sword” that Eldigan gave Lachesis as a goodbye gift
Furreto VonSentret do you think that FE4 will be remade next? That would be awesome, and seems to make sense (personally, I’d prefer remakes of the Tellius arc, but I guess we have to go in order)
JWil42 The SoV director already showed his interest in FE6, but I don’t think they can skip FE4 and 5, maybe just by avoiding some indirect incest like Ayra/Holyn and Shannan/Larcei they would be ready to go
@@yscb4046 correct me if I'm wrong, but 4 is Genealogy of the Holy War, 5 is Thracia 776, and 6 is Binding Blade, right? given that Binding Blade was the last game to be released before the series went worldwide, it would make sense that they would remake it so that people would know what Blazing Blade was leading up to.
again, I'd prefer remakes of Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn, but maybe I'm just the weird guy who liked them. On the other hand, Path of Radiance was hurt by a rushed development cycle and the GameCube's lackluster sales, and Radiant Dawn was hurt by the casual Wii audience, bad voice acting, and difficulty misnaming.
I doubt I'm the first person to notice it, but why would he be carrying his mother's ring around with him? A memento makes sense but why not keep it locked up somewhere safe? Answer: It was his mother's wedding ring, and he was going to propose to Rinea with it at some point, offering his mother's ring to her. Keeping and reusing heirlooms like that for sentimental value used to be common in earlier times, so that would've been a gesture of great symbolic worth on his part. It's a subtle but powerful indication of just how much he loved her. Even if he did fuck her over in the end, in his insanity.
What makes his death scene so great, so moving, is that it eschews drama for high tragedy. Berkut's flaws led to his own downfall and sacrificing what he held most dear, the one person who loved him unconditionally, for the power he dreamed of, and in the end he lost, losing everything; poetic justice for ruthless irony. But Rinea's love, so unconditional, so blind, so naïve and pure, still exists for him, and her spirit still comes to him to beckon him onward as he dies, forgiving him. He loses his life, his power, his pride, every earthly thing he prized and held dear, but the immaterial, which he undervalued and viciously threw away, yet what ultimately truly only matters, comes to back to him unbidden and yet undiminished. His thirst for power, which never would have been quenched had he lived, is extinguished with his end, and he's free to give himself up, to the salvation and forgiveness that he may not, does not deserve, and yet that Rinea freely gives, she loving and desiring only him, and always him. And, as he finally realizes the error of his ways, his spirit can finally love Rinea undistracted, and accompanies her into the unknown with happiness. Death comes not as a punishment, but as a release.
(Shit, I'm really crying now.)
And now I'm just going to hug my pillow and cry with you...
Brilliant
Thank you for this
*gives you backrubs* There, there.
@@madamebkrt You were very quick to change your profile picture as of yesterday.
This is some of the greatest voice acting in Nintendo's history
Honestly I think it’s is the best voice acting in a Nintendo game.
Xenoblade Chronicles is a close 2nd
Amy :D the british english from Xenoblade is awful
@@crunh Said no one ever
TheNotoriousFerg three houses topped this one
LavaCaptain2000 it was close, but I think Mercedes held it back from being better.
Actually Berkut is sympathetic in a way. He was so pressured to be a mighty leader by everyone around him that he ended uo as an a hole. But he still loved Rinea. But as a consequence of the pressure put on him as well as his ideals being challenged, he ended up mentaly snapping . Also he was originally disgusted by Duma's power in Act 4.
Samuel Wolch not to mention how he was raised in a land where only the strong have a right to be anything. Can’t blame him when it’s all he was basically taught.
Hood Squigga
All that he has done up until now has been all for nothing it seems.
XxxJim_ the_ ReaperxxX the poor fool couldn’t realize what was in front of him
Hood Squigga
You could've recruited Berkut with Rinea but you already have Camus so Berkut is just another Camus Archetype.
+Hood Squigga
Never mind Berkut.
He is remembered in History as the Rigelian Conqueror.
Finally, a great modern Fire Emblem villain. This is why I really love this game way more than Fates and Awakening, the characters feel realistic and they mourn over fallen allies and what power has done.
Andrew the Potato King this is the power of classic fire emblem
Isn't Berkut essentially a modified Takumi? They sure whine just about the same
Plus, Echoes (as well as Awakening) did a better job with localization than Fates, including the voice work.
Extra Hachse Takumi is probably the best and most fleshed-out, Fire Emblem-esque character of Fates. It just so happens that he’s tainted by a game with a shitty story.
To be fair, you can really feel the emotion in Echoes due to the amazing voice acting that was present throughout the entire story, as opposed to Awakening and Fates which only had voice clips.
By the way, if look at the attack range of Berkut and Rinea combined, it's a heart.
That would make them separately a broken heart. Damn.
Aww
The way Alm says "Oh gods" makes me shiver. you can hear the horror of the realization in his voice
Newt He sounds like he’s about to vomit in horror.
Sentient Violin I mean, who wouldn't after seeing what Berkut did to Rinea? I was like "What the hell?"
Not just horror, but disgust.
"It's time, Rinea..Come with me...We shall hold our wedding..atop his funeral!"
That's why he's the best Fire Emblem antagonist in history
definitely the most sympathetic villain in FE history. so much better than freakin hans or iago. and his death actually means something! whats not to like?
The irony with your profile pic is strong.
And I love it.
Well, sure.
IF you consider Awakening the beginning of the series lol
I think Berkut is a great villain, don't get me wrong, but the series has way more sympathetic villains out there. (Lyon)
eeeh....lyon is by no means a bad villain, but imo i think he didnt really have enough developement to fully flesh him out to how berkut is, what with him not really being in play until later in the story rather than from the beginning, and only seeing his good through flashbacks (and ephraims route technically). not to mention hs appearance in eirikas route is really bland with him literally being possessed basically the entire time and us only seeing him actually struggle against it once near the end, which sort of hurts his potential sympathy, whereas with berkut, we see his good and bad qualities clash almost constantly. while he's a good contender and has a lot of potential to be the most sympathetic fire emblem villain, I think we'll need to wait until FE8 gets a remake to see him get fleshed out to the degree berkut got. but thats just my opinion, so take it how you will. I can definetely see why you'd consider him the better villain though, as he does have a better reason for committing villainous acts and is far less selfish than berkut (although personally, I think berkuts selfishness rounds him out a bit more as a character).
Infer and, Berkut is my 2nd favorite fire emblem character😂, Leo from fates is my first.... and believe it or not, Takumi is my third,... I mean, I just love all of them, from their character to their sustainable levels of hotness 😍😍, lol😝😝😂
Did not really felt sorry for Berkut. He had it coming from the start.
2:30 Alm’s VA pulled off the absolute perfect delivery for his lines. Just wanted to call attention to it.
"This isn't a conquest for me"
Did he just?
when you consider that both birthright and conquest are parodies of echoes...
How?
Arilee Robinson Just what
Epic Manky Fates has two sides with "two divine dragons". One side is blessed with bountiful harvests while the other side had to become strong to survive. The darker side then begins the plot by killing the "good" side's ruler and invades.
Funny enough, Alm is a rigelian who was raised in Zofia while Kam/Corrin was born in Hoshido and raised in Nohr. What's even funnier is that Alm starts off ridiculously strong while Corrin starts off really weak.
When I saw this in the cut-scene I laughed because Alm was the Conqueror class for me at this point in the game.
Rinea still out here even in death, getting sacrificed for her betrothed and still making sure he lays to rest with a smile this GIRL
Okay Berkut, get in to my favorite antagonist characters list
Wow the Way Alm sobs actually makes my heart hurt...
Ikr.
First Sigurd, then Flora and then Rinea. What's with Fire Emblem and characters being burnt to a crisp?
Luna is Best Waifu i cri evrytiem
It's not called Fire Emblem for nothing.

A revelation
I refuse to ENGAGE in this. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to chill in one of my Three Houses.
What annoys me is that 'happy' "You've got an item" sound...
+Black Corona
The Irony!
That heartless sound
Nintendo be like, "oh yeah, let's ruin this very sad and emotional moment with this item!, perfect".
I dunno, man. It sounded a bit more melancholic to me after that scene.
I swear, when I saw this, I have a newfound respect for Berkut. Even though he wanted power, he let his feelings get over his head. I mean, I seriously wanted to cry with Alm until the little message of receiving the ring popped up. Way to ruin such a beautiful moment.
Edit: Well, we got Fallen Berkut with Witch Rinea by his side in Heroes
I still haven't gotten him...
Don't forget that he learned that his entire life had been a lie for Alm's sake. *That's* what broke him; not losing power.
Of all the death scenes in this game, this is the only one that made me tear up.
exactly
This one made me laugh. Rudolf's made me tear up just a bit.
I couldn't take it seriously with his Hot Girlfriend Rinea and Lance equivalent of the Draco Blade from Dokapon Kingdom.
I cried like a baby. I actually really wanted Berkut to redeem himself and join Alm, but then again this is Fire Emblem and that doesn't usually happen...
@@madamebkrt the worst thing ablut this is that berkut was actually meant to be an ally like fernand... they still have level up files fully voiced and stats
Berkut: You will SUFFER FOR WHAT YOU’VE DONE
deals 1 damage
It seems there's no in between. Either people cry or laugh at Berkut's death.
Welp I found the in between. I'm pretty emotionless so it didn't affect me.
Bropower125 yea his death is like “ oh well” then that was that Alm himself forgot as well
I did both
I was more upset than sad because I was expecting to recruit him.

Rinea is hot.
Shut up owain
Grand Exalt Owain hotter than Flora
Hotter than Sigurd? Nah.

Wow, never heard that one.

Text: *sobs"
NOW THAT'S STRATEGY!
Genuine Artistry
Berkut is just a butthurt guy who can't even value about anything else but unlimited power.
@@xxx_jim_the_reaper_xxx yeah but still, I feel bad for him though
@@xxx_jim_the_reaper_xxx Yes but what makes him so great is the reason he values values that.

Blah,blah,blah...!

You know what Berkut and Takumi have in common? They both died
Ken Miller And they're both saltier than 10 packs of French Fries.
Ken Miller you wanna know a difference
Berkut was actually a good character
Bolt Man tbh takumi was a pretty good character... in a shitty game. he definitely was no corrinsexual unlike most of the cast, and was more dimensional and realistic than the others. just in a reallllllyyyy shitty game.
berkut is a good boy.
I still hate berkut for killing Rinea
Takumi is just a bit stubborn. Deep inside the pineapple's heart, he still wants to call you "Brother/Sister" so much. It's just the death of Queen Mikoto makes him so depressed, and with the hatred for the Nohrian, he blames you for everything happens to his family. In a support conversation, he admits that he still has nightmare about that moment. He's not that stubborn if you join Hoshido or do the Revelation run.
17:38 As soon as the white screen was loading, an advertisement about Lion King the movie remake popped up going like, "AHH! SEPENYAAAA! BABA WHEAT SEE BABA!!!"
It ruined the moment xD
LMAO XD
I still cry every time
I wanna see Ian Sinclair and Chris Hackney (Dimitri) voice act together. They are unbelievably amazing VAs
Compare his death to his introduction. Now that's character development *cough* CORRIN *cough*
Why would you put Corrin in here.
He has no character development whatsoever. Comparing him to (literally any good character, especially Berkut) is just making whoever Corrin's compared to look bad.
Berkut is amazing villain done
@@MilodicMellodi i think thats what he meant with the cough cough
@@ajtriforcegamerofhyrule8538
An amazing villain?
He's the worst.
@@SuperGeon Might not be the best but certainly not the worse.
I need Berkut's confrontation with Alm animated.
“we’ll hold his wedding... atop his funeral.” he basically created like 10 graves after slaughtering this man’s army except for Alm & Zeke
I always felt the cut at the end of this was very rough. You're witnessing all these emotions and Alm is sobbing and oh back to the dungeon.
Still my favorite part of the game right here
I feel for and connect with Berkut on so many levels. He tried so hard based on how he grew up in life, and in the end he was still a disappointment to everyone.
God the voice acting is incredible someone give these guys an emmy
Berkut: You will suffer for what you've done!
The phantom Silque summoned that just ran up on him: 🗿
I already have like... 4 playthroughs and I still cry at this fml
Me too lol
"Let us find our empire, together." At the perfect point in the song.
“Just say the word!”
dammit Kliff I wanna cry not fangirling
Am I the only one who's appalled at the fact he didn't try keeping anyone alive here?
He probably thinking "nah, i don't wanna restart, screw you guys i'm beating the map."
This is what happens when you put the two best male voice actors in this game in a scene together
What about Lukas
As compelling a character as Berkut is I think we all need to step back for a moment and remember he BURNED HIS INNOCENT AND TRUSTING FIANCE ALIVE AND BOUND HER SOUL TO A INSANE ELDRITCH DEITY. But since he felt bad for it only after having his shit kicked in you are reminded of how bad this was all for -him- and is forgiven.
Damnit Berkut, you could've been the Camus archetype!
Charlie Mc Gowan wasn't camus the camus archetype
Camus was literally in this game lmao
@@swagmaster4599 Technically, he wasn't Camus-
I searched Nothing But Lies and I found this
How are we gonna explain this to Marianne?
Berkut is hot 😎
Rinea is hot... particularly in her boss battle form...
Rinea, berkut
Hell even flora and sigurd are all hot
Agreed
Yyyyep ;)
He can sacrifice me to Duma any day
Alm's voice acting is so great
Berkut almost lost himself to the power of a dragon (Duma). It's awesome how, in Three Houses, we can see again what dragon power does to humans, but with bigger consequences
What I'm not crying you're crying
IICadeII So is Alm.
14:59 Thus starts the best part in this game : Berkut's memorable death
I hope that, in the inevitable FE4 remake, they manage to do as much good with Arvis as they did when they created Berkut -- easily two of the best antagonists in the entire fucking series
That scene made me cry...
The same voice actress give her voive for Rinea and Mercedes, but they sounds like different actress....
The cheeziness of the lady coming out of the air as a ghost kills the whole intensity of Berkut dying completely, I like to believe that is what he himself is seeing as he is laying there dying and is just talking to himself as Alm loses the last member of his family, makes it way more emotional and sad.
Berkut was such a well developed villain
And that's why the Purgatorial Prince arrived in "Heroes". With Reprisal.
Honsetly, this was probably the only battle that gave me trouble in the game.
Yeah you really have to think insanely hard for how to properly approach Berkut and Rinea
The fucking item get jingle just fucking ruined the mood so bad, but it's so funny.
Dark Berkut and dark delthea are in heroes!
Alm is such a good kid
He's just at the front like "I got this y'all"
Was anyone else get actually scared when the fight started?
It was just like the Atmosphere and Context to the moment.
12:42 to 12:55
Four units died in like 7 seconds...This guy plays pretty recklessly
Sacrifice others for sake of your own goals.
Truly befitting tactics for an emperor of Rigel.
Just Aaron to be fair the person on casual
Berkut is the single best Fire Emblem Villain. I never was a huge fan of OG Fire Emblem as a whole, I didn't like many of the villains in the GBA Titles (except Leon), and save for Grima and Walhart (who I kinda liked, don't judge me), I really kinda hated all the villains in Awakening. And don't get me started on Fates.
Berkut is the perfect storm of motivation, attitude, and desperation. He unintentionally drives Alm toward overthrowing Rudolf, and eventually to becoming king, ruining everything he had worked toward. And as his mental state decayed, so did his unwillingness to accept the Faithful, and even Duma's help.
It helps that this is by far the single best boss fight in the entire series. Fight me on that, but it's got everything that's needed in a final battle. And the scene preceding, and the scene following especially, are some of the most tense and emotional character moments we have ever gotten in Fire Emblem as a whole.
Berkut's death is one of the most dramatic and emotional moments in the franchise as a whole. And to have things end this way only makes sense for him. He finally regains himself and his mind, his soul, long enough to reconcile with the only family he has left, and head to the afterlife with his betrothed.
And the music in this entire sequence. The Scion's Dance In Purgatory and In A Silver Garden With You are both godlike pieces that warrent their own praise, and every piece is either packed with tense anticipation, slamming down with climactic finality, or singing a bittersweet farewell. And it meshes together absolutely flawlessly.
My only complaint is that this isn't the final battle. Duma was pretty good though.
Get yourself a girl like Rinea.
Insert obligatory "Damn Rinea is hot" comment
Even now I still cry at this scene, and ive watched it 50+ times
Poor Berkut should take some lesson about being possessed by Takumi....
the ending between Rinea and Berkut killed me ahhhhh. ;-;
Berkut: [to the UA-camrs] Ah my beloved Rinea... Beautiful isn't she?
UA-camrs: AW YEAH SHE IS!
Alm: Oh gods...
Was Zaveid really THIS pissed about not being allowed to go shirtless this time around?
wait do Zaveid and Berkut have the same VA?
now i could imagine berkut getting ROASTED by girls while talking in chill ass tone.
I feel like it's even better if he was casting Zaveid's spells, just imagine Berkut as a sage casting excalibur with the incantation "You ready for dirty dancing?" coincidentally that would be his pickup line for Rinea.
RIP the Deliverance except 3 units
There is a heart within the attack range indicator outlined in green
5:20 I don't even know who you are
Underrated comment!!! 😆👏👏👏
When Berkut gives a slasher smile for some reason I keep seeing him as Luke Atmey.
I wonder what connects them?
Witch Rinea for heroes???
+doodlejackbod I think it's possible, heck we might even get a normal rinea. question is when? probally when we get another fallen hero banner

I feel so sad for Berkut and Alm they deserv better :(
tfw you laugh immediately as you see someone
Leon Phelts My immediate reaction when seeing him all empowered and stuff was pretty much, "PFFFT! And I thought he couldn't get any edgier!"
Lol i came here from feh i wanted to know why Berkut hates alm
Quite simple really. Everything Berkut had prepared for was instantly taken away by Alm. He was to become the next emperor of Rigel since his uncle didn't have an heir. However, one day, Berkut finds out that his uncle, King Rudolf (Rudolph?) had a child. It was obvious that his child should be automatically named his next heir than Berkut. So that's probably what make him go mad.
He had spent his whole life preparing to become an emperor, but one day, a boy with royal blood appears out of nowhere and is automatically made the next heir to the throne without doing much effort.
I guess that should explain it?
@@tobeornottobe206 lol dam thanks btw
Fallen berkut you finally made it
Zeke: "I fear I cannot die."
God damn it Berkut took a Takumi
I made sure to give him a glorious battle with my army of commoners + (Clair, Clive and Lukas)

Thanks to them, you are living the life's earnest but still its nothing big because its hard to get a job because people use guns instead of swords.

XxxJim_ the_ ReaperxxX True, it’s also in your favor if the idiot doesn’t know how to use the gun properly. But hopefully I won’t ever come across that
Hood Squigga
And also, skilled gun-wielders or promoted gunfighters are called "Snipers".
This sets my case
I need to play echos
Berkut pisses me off. He had so many chances for redemption, but he kept making terrible decisions. My biggest issue was his tipping point happened when Rinea said she didn't care about being Empress. HEAVEN FORBID she likes you for yourself and not because of your title. The only person to blame for Berkut dying is himself.
That's the tragedy of the thing, isn't it? Everyone told Berkut he WAS the next Emperor. He couldn't separate himself from the title because of everyone's pressure. So as far as Rinea's comment, it didn't sound like that to him. There is no "Berkut" only "Emperor Berkut." In his mind, that was a rejection. She said she didn't care about him.
Also pretty sure the witch’s magic item he used linked him to Duma, who fucked up his mind something fierce.
Yaasss I get where you’re coming from but I can’t bring myself to hate him because he was raised in a land where only the strong have a right to be something. Also the fact he’s got royal blood adds to the pressure.
Yaasss
I know this comment is old but I'd still like to share my thoughts.
Yes he had many chances to redeem himself but he was raised in Rigel. The land that valued strength above all else. Losing would be an insult to anyone in Rigel and losing to what Berkut believed was a commoner would not only destroy his reputation but pride as well. Constantly losing to Alm hurt him and made him question the strength he truly have.
He also always believed that he was going to be the next emperor. Something certainly that has been reminded to him constantly trough all his life. The realization that he never truly hold the title because of Alm's existence and Emperor Rudolf's plan for Alm since the start made him felt betrayed. So much pressure to be the strongest man and be as great as his uncle was put onto him. Only to realize he would have never taken the title.
This doesn't change how much of a asshole Berkut really was but he had other factors and reasons that made him snap.
To me, his redemption is his realization that his lust for power was his downfall. That to get what he though he truly wanted would take away the one person who he loved and needed. Rinea's love for him made him realize his fault and how all he needed was her.
3:34 Dude, that’d be one fucked up wedding. I’d hate to even see the damn cake.....
I felt like they could have done so much more with Berkut, I feel like if they made him a bit less edgy and developed him more he would be great. Atm what he does to Rinea is unforgivable.
You got 3 gold marks
yeah
I have eyes, too!
What if the reason Mycen didn’t want Alm to go out of the village in the beginning of the game was because he didn’t want Alm to kill his father. If you think about it that way it seems so sad.
Along with the final one, this battle give a lof of troubles in hard classic mode xD there was always one unit that dies
But man, I love Berkut ;;
0/10 he didn't say "Rigel me with the tales of your adventures"
This chapter was one of my favorites on the whole franchise. The map is horrible ikr, but with some Thracia, FE4, TRS and SD maps this is... just hype.
