For those who came by because it was Fire Emblem, hello. I don't usually make Fire Emblem content, but as it's one of my favorite video game franchises, I would love to make more, so please stay tuned for whenever that happens! If you are interested in me, you can also check out other videos on this channel. They're not usually this long lol
For returning viewers, thank you for watching! This is a series I am extremely passionate about, so thank you for understanding. I hope you'll stick around 🙏
"One of my favorite video game franchises" isn't your pfp from Fire Emblem ? Also I do not know anything about Fire emblem and it looks funny enough for me to watch
@@erenarslan3087 It's my own guy I made, but he does unintentionally look like Ike
Hey man, It's great to see you make video's about a series you love!
I'm sticking around. Your video are pretty enjoyable.
Touhou *and* Fire emblem? now this is awesome
Merth's very first movie production 🎉
13:52 is a true, unadulterated, and certified Fire Emblem moment in the history of this franchise.
Unlike Final Fantasy... Got to play FF1, the original, and saw we even got to actually craft items that in later games become legendary or recurrent of sorts, like Excalibur, but they never said the thing!
@@Mordecrox What the actual hell are you talking about, my good sir?
@@CSwizzleDizzle for example, you can do the "viva la reina" in ff ix, is a legendary knight sword, but you just... Do it, there is not a phrase about the sword and why is legendary, is no even obligatory, is optional
@@Mordecrox Why would they call a sword the "Final Fantasy"?

Not most people can confirm this, but I must admit: I applaud not just the effort with this video, but also actually using Nintendo's official translation of Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light that was taken down on the same day as Mario's execution.
If only the transition didn't have the same fate as Super Mario 3D All-Stars and Super Mario Bros. 35.
28:40
I felt that!!! Jeorge handing over the Parthia to Gordin felt so satisfying to me, as I did the same during my first playthrough
Put some respect on Gordin's name!!!
This has joined and possibly surpassed the canon of hilarious FE1 content, such as the OVA and Not Enough Fire Emblem on the Forums. Insane props, great taste in games, and much love!
I absolutely loved Didja Redo's Not Enough FE! What is this OVA you mentioned? Because if it's on par with the former i would be a fool not to have seen it
@@iSearchUA-cam There was an officially produced OVA for Fire Emblem with an English dub that is hilarious. It's pretty much on UA-cam for free and it's only about two or so episodes, so it's a short, fun little watch. Fun fact: it's also where Marth's Japanese voice actor, Hikaru Midorikawa, got his start as the character.
@@CSwizzleDizzle same thing for the Japanese VAs for Ogma, Navarre, and Elice. Navarre’s seiyuu is even a huge FE fan, and counting Heroes, he’s voiced at least one character from almost every setting.
I love the "Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga" Luigi "thunder" sound effects!!
RIP AlphaDream.... 😭
This really captures the goofy ass charm this game has
16:51 Also this is EXACTLY how recruiting these two goes lol
1. 3:48-3:50 "He's in boys! He did it! He *said* it!"
2. 3:59 "I think that enemy got 'the point!' Prince Marth!"
3. 5:41 Merth took the words of Bismix to heart this adventure.
4. 6:57-7:04 Yeah Darros, *please* just give that to Barst. For your own good...
5. 18:21-18:26 Merth, there's about 42mins left of this video. You thought you get me with this (hilarious) bait?
6. 23:01-23:22 *Navarre Gaming*
7. 28:36-28:48 Jeorge is such a bro to Gordin.
8. 40:45-41:21 & 41:50-42:01 *The Virgin Camus vs. The Chad Lorenz*
9. 41:19 Marth: "You are going to Zofia!! And say hello to Cleric Noel Vermillion with green hair once you get there!"
10. The *ENTIRE* Ch. 22 bit was amazing Merth!
11. 47:15-47:29 *WE'VE COME FULL CIRCLE ON THIS CHANNEL!!*
As a guy that got into your channel through Touhou Merth, I was hoping for some FE content to come here eventually thanks to the many edits in your Touhou vids, and your pfp. Merth my guy, you did *NOT* disappoint in the slightest. This was one of the best hours of my life and well worth the wait! I have both FE1 (Switch) & FE11 (DS thanks to Game Over Videogames) and this video kinda makes me wanna play them more now. But I have to finish Engage 1st because that game already has me over 100 hours on it and I *STILL* haven't beat it once yet...
That Blazblue Reference Bro
24:12 haven't played fire emblem but somehow "warp broke" as a sentence makes me chuckle
My man did a whole fire emblem movie without Nintendo staff, truly impressive!
For many, it was three long years of fighting and liberating.
for merth, 1 hour
I love the way the old pirates walk, it's so gremlin-like xD
Looking at Anna's description of her boyfriend, I'm starting to see why we don't see as many Jakes alive.
I kinda changed Summoner Jake’s appearance in Fire Emblem Heroes with glasses.
NO WONDER IT TOOK SO LONG TO MAKE HOLY SHIT DUDE. this will be one hell of a watch
Edit: after finishing this, i dan say my favourite bits were the xenoblade style chain attack, gordin ramsay getting the parthia, samson being depicted as jonathan joestar, ultra instinct playing when tiki's portrait appears, the warp being repaired and the final bit with yuuka and marisa. I also thought the animation with maria and michalis was actually somewhat emotional, surprisingly. Great work right here.
The moment between Maria and Michalis hurt my heart 🥺
came here for Touhou, stayed for Fire Emblem
I'm not really too familiar with Fire Emblem myself but I can tell from this video how much passion you have for it so you have my utmost respect
your animations have this odd sense of nostalgia to them that harkens back to the old days of the internet and I'm all for that, I'll be looking forward to seeing more content from you no matter what franchise it'll be 👍
You did one hour of this??? Holy hell man! I am going to watch this 10 times every month.
It was the best Fire Emblem animation in a while: memes, montage, animation - all at the best level. Keep creating with the same spirit and enthusiasm. We are wating for Touhou 10 and more Fire Emblem animations from you.
the radd and caesar bit is too real
This made my day
You were a giant inspiration for this, I'm glad you enjoyed it 🙏
Absolute quality FE1 content. A++
One of the most soulful pieces of Fire Emblem fan content I've ever seen. Well done. Absolutely well fucking done.
Loved this video! I smiled throughout most of the experience. Stuff like Mickey Mouse saying the warp staff will be a helpful tool later, or Caesar and Radd getting a shopping list is just funny. Also you representing all three verisons of book 1's music was a surprising and welcoming treat. Overall I had a good time, and wish you luck in the future!
I'm only two minutes in, but this is already so full of personality and great editing. Can't wait to go through the whole thing!
Good work. Your storytelling is effective yet simple. This is actually really well done.
Anyone:“Oh no how are you gonna get to that objective on the other side of that army“
Marth:“Lena?“
Lena:“(sigh) yeah yeah“ *casts warp*
Holy shit you made an actual movie length video! Gonna have to set some time aside to watch this.
I was feeling reminiscent about the incomplete FE1 text playthrough and then I saw you reference the "Doga will choke this point" bit frame for frame got a real kick out of that
The wait is over, and damn was it worth it! I really enjoyed the Gordin character arc and the inclusion of music from all three versions of the game, and also the original commercial. It's not on time for FE's anniversary, but at least you made it to Boucheron's birthday. Make of that what you will.
Anyways, here's some notes I made while watching the video:
8:06 The correct way to use Matthis. I go out of my way to kill him ever time, to be honest.
10:08 I remember this villager. In the fan translation, the guy pissed himself when he saw the manakete transform into a dragon for the first time.
13:15 For a second I thought there wasn't gonna be Merric killing a boss with Excalibur. Glad to be proven wrong.
18:09 That's what I said!
22:39 I remember this from the OVA!
26:47 This guy's dialogue was straight up gibberish in the fan translation for some reason...
34:36 The coolest thing in FE1. I always get disappointed when games that have Parthia don't make it have fire arrows.
37:31 I've played lots of FE1 in my time and I have never done that.
46:32 FE3/12 moment
47:36 I've always been more of a fan of the FE3 version of this theme. Also, fun fact: In Shadow Dragon, this will override the final boss theme.
49:55 Hey, the NES music is back! I'm glad, cuz it's not bad.
54:46 And now this video is longer than the OVA.
A part of me hopes that someday you'll do a Sacred Stones animation, but that game has a lot more things like plot and support convos and stuff like that, but it'll be fun when there's finally a Touhou moment in a Sacred Stones animation, to truly go full circle.
I really wish I could express just how much I liked this video. In a way, this feels like the kinda thing that someone made 15 years ago and went down in history as one of the finest FE Fanworks in history. Genuinely shocked it only came out yesterday, this has ALL the makings of an eternal classic!
As one of the blue units who made this possible, I'm proud you were able to get this demon child out. I've been waiting for this.
Justice for my man Doga tho he did NOT deserve this shit
He's at his worst in this game I promise
the moment doga gets out of armor he's peak
@@Merthlock yeah, his first appearance was pretty rough. Shadow Dragon Draug tho 👀
Seriously, my Draug NATURALLY capped almost every stat besides, ironically, health in Shadow Dragon. Man was a speed machine.
@@CaptainCFalconShadow Dragon Draug my beloved. Taking off that armor turns him from joke unit to literal ninja
@@zzzmeta4555 He capped speed *_AS_* an Armor Knight. This general was doubling everything but fucking Swordmasters.
OOGH THAT MARIA MICHALIS MOMENT….
My heart can’t handle that…
6:19 YES!!! THE FREAKING THEME! THANK YOU, CAEDA!!!
"tell me, do you believe in love?"
"Huh?"
Comedy gold
I love blue paint!
Especially when it's lead based!
Just got recommended this and it was very fun to watch! I can tell you put a lot of effort into it, the editing and animated parts are pretty funny as with the title of the video!
FE1 truly gave me pause when I saw Roger's stupid mug and 13 defense.
gordin’s character arc was so good
You just know New Mystery of the Emblem is gonna hit *hard* once that comes out...
20:34 Marth really wishing he brought a spare key.
Hey, it's finally out! And it's... ONE HOUR LONG?!
woah...
Fire Emblem, A Tough Simulation, come and win Bravely
I like that you have gordin be jeleous of jeorge but still willing to protect because they are comrade in arms.
As a Darros, I can confirm that I am now sail
This game's ost is surprisingly great! I didnt know there where so many cool tunes in fe 1.
Congrats Merth! Love the little animations interspersed with the actual story! It really captures the feeling of playing the game!
I’ve watched this video so many times i love it
Thank you for enjoying the video so much!
I love the goofy sound effects and edits. I only ever played shadow dragon, not the original famicom version of Marth's game but this is making me wanna give it a shot!
How UA-cam didn't recommend me this before? This is so good!
Great work!
The Samson and Arran bit got me.
I waited 35 minutes for an obligatory “jam out to Together We Ride” moment - was not disappointed. 👌🏻😅
19:30 THAT HAPPENED TO ME WHILE PLAYING SHADOW DRAGON
That ending after the credits made me smile.
That radd and caesar recruitment went hard
I just finished watching all your videos and I no exaggeration think this might just be my favorite channel in all of UA-cam.
What a great time to discover your content! My search history may be sending me down the Touhou rabbit hole, but as an avid Fire Emblem fan, this was simply great to watch. Keep up the hard work!
I would love to see more fire emblem content, this video is so high quality and full of emotion without a single word!
Okay finally finished the video lol This is some of your best work yet! Amazing job all around. I loved the battle with Minerva and Michalis (some slight bias there cus Minerva is my fav FE character lol) and ofc the Linde Gharnef scene was great. I can't wait to see Touhou 10!
Your videos always put a big smile on my face, but this one really takes the cake! Loved the entire trip.
This video must've been a huge labor of love. Fantastic work!
I love this. I want to see more low key comedic videos of this nature on youtube.
26:26 See, i'm telling you, the Venn diagram of Xenoblade Chronicles and Fire Emblem fans is just a circle!
I'm late to the party but that ending with the recreation of the JP trailer kinda hit different after watching the whole thing.
My man, you cooked! Well done!
this is one of the best videos ive ever seen on youtube for me, it even remind me of the golden era, you are built differently man nad i'm here to see it all
46:50
damn
Finally finished this video, the last chapters were great. I liked how you conveyed later game's plot points through the animation. Drawing the end cards is nice, I like how Dolph and Macelan are "Dead ringer" and "Splitting image" and their endings are even the same, and Daros still has his classic "He became sail"
Those moments caeda having incredible rng in stats are funny XD
very nice video! Also holy moly at all the effort you put into it. Mustve taken a looooong time to cut and edit + animate the bits
The wait was worth it, it's incredibly accurate and amazing
29:28 Age of Empire convertion:
man, great work!
now you make me want to see your potray of The Blazing Blade haha
This is extremely good and I love your sense of humor and editing style
That was pretty fun to watch. Great job!
54:05
"Not a single sunflower in the game. Absolutely fucking unplayble!"
This is so good I can't, with all these cute things like redrawn endings for characters (even tho I didn't recognised some of them, are they from 11?) and redrawn commercial, I really hope to see mystery of the emblem some day, because this one game feels really special to me. Hope you had as much fun doing this as I had watching
The magnum opus
Quality touhou and fire emblem videos, what more could I ask for
This is such an incredibly good and fun video about one of my favorite games, I love it
i absolutely loved this entire video and hope you do more feature-length movies like this for fire emblem
I actually never thought that the Aum staff was used on Camus. Would he a good head canon on how he survived the encounter
in actual canon, they (both Camus and in Shadow Dragon, the canonically ditched Frey) survived what should have killed them, and BOTH ended with amensia. I'd call bs on the SD exclusive Frey if it weren't for the fact Camus literally had the exact same fate.
@@Manavine is there a link that explains Frey's amnesia? I never heard of that backstory
@@angrybread478 I dunno too much about Frey tbh, if you play on hard, he disappears from the game, and since he's exclusive to FE11/12 specifically, I'd have to get a rom of a game never released. I'm admittedly relying on wiki knowledge and how Camus canonically ended up as Zeke to explain a character who is literally only there to die in the prologue admittedly.
that's so cute
BRUH, when it said "Marth Embarks" I read that as Marth Emblem like that was his full name 💀
Rewatched
10 of 10
I really appreciate your work as a new player of the series 🙂
This is truly excellent, looking forward to another one in hopefully the not so distant future
44:13 my man Gotoh casually pulling best cleric
This is the first video I've ever been recommended by you. I like it. I'll stay tuned for more.
I like the stares people have when a conga line of allies rolls up looool
first time encounter with fire emblem (if we don't say about references in your to-Ho videos), that was pretty fun, thank you!!! x)
thank you for making this content and it helping me find this super cool channel
Love this, Archenean fans eatin well today

Recently, Castor got a VA, Phil Ava. You'll see this name A LOT on this very internet we use.
Holy, one hour of content! Now that's dedications over there
I was subbed before you made this, but now there is at least one video on your channel I understood before going in. Also, 1 hour?! No wonder it took so long.
This was amazing!!! Congratulations on making something i have no doubt will become a classic
As one of the few people who very much enjoy the original FE, This is a gift from the heavens! Thank you!
This was an awesome video.
If you made more, I'd watch them.
This is incredible!
It's almost like the midway point between regular fire emblem and most shitpost fire emblems.
I can't wait to see what you do next!
(Ill probably be watching your older videos in the meantime!)
A very epic production
