we stole the trophy from runic maze 😭 Tbh I can see why this map was voted as the best. It was one of the earliest highlights and probably was the highlight of the anniversary, as many people were shocked to see this map better.
What a masterpiece of a video - the entire the-community-votes concept, editing, transitions, build-up and the sheer effort and dedication needed to do this - it's phenomenal. It's very compelling to see such an incredibly talented young creator pour this much passion into a ranking video, you've truly proven yourself to be an absolutely crucial and remarkable part of FE2's content, and as somebody that adores rankings, this was truly a gem. Highlights were definitely THE best addition that Flood Escape could have ever gotten - and this felt like such a perfect tribute to their impact on the game. And I'm absolutely enthused over the fact that my favorite map of all time ended up at #4! I knew it was pretty well-liked all around by the community, but THIS much love for Steampunk Clockworks, above some of the greats like Amphibious Billow and Snowy Stronghold - it made my day! (thanks for including my yapping at 1:04:53 lol) I actually didn't expect #1 at all! Really thought Chaoz Japan, Amphibious Billow, Twilight Athenaeum or Runic Maze would have taken it. Virulent deserves the praise though - this map really went through a lot, looking back at its V1 variant, congrats to Finn and Axmatt! Might post my own ranking of all the highlights here later if I remember to do so, I'm too tired for all that at the moment :P
Well, it was gonna appear but since ev_n had realized he hadn't ranked Underworld Grove, he had no choice but to replace Castle tides with Underworld Grove (reason: I would lose my temper replacing the ranking)
Skywork sjould have won, best map ive ever played and the ost is literalyl AMAZING and perfect bro, the design is also amazing, LIVE LOVE SKYWORK FALLS
2:28 here, let me give you one: "Maltaris Valley is deceivingly underrated for what it is. The original version wasn't actually a bad map. In fact, I'm gonna make the take and say it out-performs Mystic Fortress. Albeit, just barely. While the Poisonous Valley Remix wasn't the best fitting choice for a map like this, I gotta say, the music goes hard; I even used it in one of my maps, Poisonous Gorge. The original version definitely had some flaws. The visuals weren't actually much of a problem, but the gameplay did have some flaws to it. While I myself had no issues with it, I do distinctly remember being the only person to beat the map when it was playable in Chill Servers. Typically, you'll never only see 1 person beat the Normal highlight in a server of 16. It even took more than one try to solo it in FE2CM, though I am pretty bad at this game, so it's probably me that's the issue. However, the remake takes what the original got right, added to it, and fixed some issues it formerly posed. The gameplay no longer feels a bit dried out at times, the visuals are enhanced even better, and it gives the map a bit more of an identity. I still think the remake only beats out Mystic Fortress for November's highlights, but it's by a wider margin. The OST composed is amazing. Up there for one of the BEST soundtracks I have ever listened to in this game. It has this hard to explain groove to it that is just so pleasant. Overall, pretty good map. The creator definitely put a lot of care into it." 19:17 oh hey that's my quote yayay 1:04:46 also mine omggg i think 1:07:12 mine tooooo (?)
Amphibious Billow, Steampunk Clockworks, Skywork Falls, Runic Maze, and Virulent Junkyard... completely deserved top 5, its exactly what I would have chosen. Virulent Junkyard is definitely my favourite highlight of all time.
This video is just high quality spanning for 1 hour. Especially cool by asking the community their favourites, not your opinion only. Enjoyed every second, you successfully earned a sub from me.
100th like but this is a incredible and entertaining video to make, I hope that this encouragement shall help you later on with your other videos. The editing and gameplay looks fantastic. This is the encouragement: if you get tired, read this comment and it will help you on later with life, you are one of the best FE2 content creators that I have ever seen and the potential in these videos is very high. :) Good luck on all your other videos!
Highlights started appearing in the game in February 2023, but highlights actually started on the FE2 Twitter account in 2022 on January with the first ever highlight being Satomi Springs, might say those don’t count, but it’s ok to have your opinion.
What month did the highlights start? I started playing the game again late march, early April I think (after not having played for like 2-3 years) If it started before then, I understand why I dont remember ever playing some of these maps. I think Mars Station was the first crazy map I beat after having never played them before cuz I had quit long before that difficulty was even thought of for the main game.
Ev_n why were you in my home while I was gone? But in all seriousness im soo happy VJ got 1st place (My home) . I expected RM to be first place as I believed a lot of people loved that map more than vj, but guess VJ took the crown for this one.
me when snowy should’ve been in top ten: 💀 jk all maps are good.. including martalusis valley (idc abt spelling who’s gonna ratio me >:)) also wow VJ is always gonna be #1 don’t let anyone tell you anything axmatt and finn
Tbh, i dont really like vj when i think about, i know everyone is saying that “it is one of the earliest highlights in this game” but imo i just favor amphibious billow more, as it was also one of the first ones
The worst maps of each difficulty Worst easy: Bathroom Leak Worst normal: Maltaris Valley Worst hard: Windswept Valley Worst insane: Summit Worst crazy: Mars Station Worst crazy+: Abandoned Junkyard
abandoned junkyard worst highlight by far and no im not just saying that because its hard because desert ruins is my fav highlight and its probably harder. The map just looked so terrible and the lava texture was god awful plus it wasnt even fun to play even if the map looked good i would still hate it because the gameplay is just not fun not to mention that ost was so annoying to listen to
we stole the trophy from runic maze 😭
Tbh I can see why this map was voted as the best. It was one of the earliest highlights and probably was the highlight of the anniversary, as many people were shocked to see this map better.
Viurlent junkyard was an og map anyways
Never thought my map would be voted for over 60+ maps. Insane.

Ahhh thank you everyone for placing DR at #14
Warms my heart to see so many people enjoy my creation. Much love from me ❤
This is such a great video! Ooh, I wrote the 2nd Desolate Domain and 1st Onama Views quotes

my anxiety kept raising when CASTLE TIDES!!! wasnt appearing-
Well, it was gonna appear but since ev_n had realized he hadn't ranked Underworld Grove, he had no choice but to replace Castle tides with Underworld Grove (reason: I would lose my temper replacing the ranking)

19:17 oh hey that's my quote yayay
1:04:46 also mine omggg i think
1:07:12 mine tooooo (?)
Amphibious Billow, Steampunk Clockworks, Skywork Falls, Runic Maze, and Virulent Junkyard... completely deserved top 5, its exactly what I would have chosen. Virulent Junkyard is definitely my favourite highlight of all time.
The best map is on the thumbnail 😁👍
I know it.
I know it.
I know it.
I really know it.
Chris Selmer exactly knows what im saying
I can't hate the fact that most of these highlights have great OSTs, props to the composers for making it! 🎉
24:23 Wow!! 101vote on cloudy skylands!
This video is just high quality spanning for 1 hour. Especially cool by asking the community their favourites, not your opinion only. Enjoyed every second, you successfully earned a sub from me.
What a coincidence, I was looking up "every highlight in fe2 that ever existed," and this came up after about 5 results of uninteresting videos.
I’ll be honest to you, Spider Dungeon being that low can show how underrated that map is.
VIRULENT FOR THE WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!
Top 4 and 2 out of over 60 is good enough for me lol. I'm still surprised by the amount of votes though.
IMO just top 10
1# Snowy Stronghold
2# Virulent Junkyard
3# Twilight Athenaeum
4# Amphibious Billow
5# Desolate Domain
6# Irradiating Alpine
7# Sulphureous Sea
8# Oil Outpost
9# Retro Coast
10# Desert Ruins
1:03:07
That’s my response in the middle omgggg!! Amphibious Billow should have been #1 😭😭😭
I accidentally went to the comments and saw some of the rankings
10:38 LETS GO THATS ME
Sorry if I’m annoying in comment sections :(
So incredibly happy that Desert Ruins did NOT make it into the top 10. Wayyyy too high.
Fr desert ruins is overrated
it really deserved so much lower than top 14 people it is NOT that good
@@ABadUser honestly I swear people only like it bc it’s hard
Ngl roybox trouble ost underrated and underapricirated thank you, railrs
45:50 Yep, im going insane
46:07 at least its the #1 in the normal difficulty map
Cloudy Skylands So Underrated :(
No matter how low they placed, all of them have been amazing to be in the game.
It makes me so happy to see Vj as 1# no words can describe how much of a glow up the map had.
Btw you should do this again but for each difficulty instead of all maps in one vid (and this time, allowed me to vote)
BRO MY FAVORITE MAP IS MALTARIS VALLEY
Steampunk clockworks was the hardest map out of all of these for me to sightread 😂
Ngl you should definitely do an ost ranking for every map I'd participate in that
Side note: I cant believe the fe2 community is this big kinda a W
100th like but this is a incredible and entertaining video to make, I hope that this encouragement shall help you later on with your other videos. The editing and gameplay looks fantastic. This is the encouragement: if you get tired, read this comment and it will help you on later with life, you are one of the best FE2 content creators that I have ever seen and the potential in these videos is very high. :) Good luck on all your other videos!
I watched the entire video, damn I didn't expect steampunk and runic to be one of the top 5
Highlights started appearing in the game in February 2023, but highlights actually started on the FE2 Twitter account in 2022 on January with the first ever highlight being Satomi Springs, might say those don’t count, but it’s ok to have your opinion.
why are most of the lower rated maps are the same maps that i enjoy the most?
Finally a ranking video
1:03:55 great pun Ev_n
VJ BEST GAMEPLAY EVER MADE
I don't know it.
i know it.
Wow skywork fall top 3 !!!!
Alr Lil Bro Time To Do #3 Of This Video Topic Because March Highlights are Coming Out
So glad to see Irradiating Alpines in the top 10. Extremely deserved for the gameplay, banger design and perfect ost 👏🏾🫡

Sapphire falls 8#
Chaoz Japan 9#
CASTLE TIDES!!! #10
Blooming lagoon is 11# because i absolutely love its ust btw

Mars station needs a redemption arc like VJ
What month did the highlights start? I started playing the game again late march, early April I think (after not having played for like 2-3 years) If it started before then, I understand why I dont remember ever playing some of these maps.
I think Mars Station was the first crazy map I beat after having never played them before cuz I had quit long before that difficulty was even thought of for the main game.
WINDSWPET OVER SUMMIT YALL FUNNY??????
Windswept mid ngl. terrible gameplay, good detailing.
Summit is one of my top 15 maps
Good gameplay, needs a bit detail
@@reverse_incident. lets goooo
What happened to club quarry? Or am I just stupid and missed where it was placed
39:55
guys I know it yes yes I do trust
Really late at seeing this but im really happy Mayan and Skatepark made it high lol, wished they went 21-25
Ev_n why were you in my home while I was gone?
But in all seriousness im soo happy VJ got 1st place (My home) . I expected RM to be first place as I believed a lot of people loved that map more than vj, but guess VJ took the crown for this one.
I don't remember, wasn't "CASTLE TIDES!!!" a highlight?
ty god no cringy avm there
me when snowy should’ve been in top ten: 💀
jk all maps are good.. including martalusis valley (idc abt spelling who’s gonna ratio me >:)) also wow VJ is always gonna be #1 don’t let anyone tell you anything axmatt and finn
AVM deserved to be in the top 5
everyone knows it but me
I'm glad irradiating alpines made it top 10. It should have been perm not gonna lie.
how did irradiating alpines come 10th place??????? its literally the best map to exist and virulent junk should swap places with irradiating alpines
1:09:00 there is no way someone said runic maze is easy to sight read
Idk why people hate mats station that much, the ost is nice
I would say it's because of the voting system
sometimes maps are not voted due to not being top 5 of the voters instead of being trash
Man,can i have id and name of map in intro bc decor it like ds but is not ds
ayyy im last comment in stream
Tbh, i dont really like vj when i think about, i know everyone is saying that “it is one of the earliest highlights in this game” but imo i just favor amphibious billow more, as it was also one of the first ones
lux carried with this one on the ost
runic only #2 :(
So avm wasn’t a highlight?(idk cuz I left fe2 at that time and I checked the wiki）
No, it was a highlight. It's just that EVERYONE would pick that map so it was left out
@@ivychong3233 true,also I was thinking AVM would be the last one(#1) cus I forgot anything in the early 2023 era(I left the game to play other games)
31:49 i think i might have a lliiitttllleee idea of who said this 😶
you forgot CASTLE TIDES!!! 😭

Ab is placed lower than I expected😢
Wish chapz would've been top 5
Im kinda surprise how low EOTL is...
bro said avm is too good it can't be here
Unpopular opinion: Skywork Falls is incredibly overrated and should’ve been in the top 60 instead of #3.
oh my god finally someone i can agree with.
your mother is overrated
Oil outpost shouldve been number 1 bc AMERICA 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
I knew it amphinous Billow and sky work fall is top 5 - 1
cascade rift is 1st
Why did archipelago got a low rank should've been a top 30 🌴🌴🌴
Ain’t no way End of the Line is ranked that low
Half of these are perm😂
abandoned junkyard worst highlight by far and no im not just saying that because its hard because desert ruins is my fav highlight and its probably harder. The map just looked so terrible and the lava texture was god awful plus it wasnt even fun to play even if the map looked good i would still hate it because the gameplay is just not fun not to mention that ost was so annoying to listen to
