One fun fact about the three main characters from Heroes is their eyes colors reflects their weapon's weakness, Alfonse's eyes are blue which he is weak to lances, Sharena's eyes are green which she is weak to axes and Heroes's Anna's eyes are red which she is weak to swords!
A fun fact for If/Fates; it is possible for Shiro, the future king of Hoshido, to marry Selkie, and Siegbert, the future king of Nohr, can marry Velouria. By setting up these marriages, you will create new lineages in the respective kingdoms where the subjects will now be ruled by Kitsunes and Wolfskins, instead of humans.
I wouldnt say Sigurd is the first to focus on a non sword weapons. Like yes he "can" use Lance's but like you'll like not use em more than a handful of enemies, plus the first 2 chapters of his are entirely axe/bow units. If anything I'd give Celica the honor of being the first non sword focused Lord as she'll be using magic much more often than her sword
To be fair, I guess, he did say "first to -start- without using swords". I haven't played most of these FE games so I'm not expert on the topic at all but at the very least I'm going by what was in the video, so I guess that's still possible to be off.
@@phantasmstg6125 he does tho. Like he starts with a steal sword and iron lance and on the very first chapter, gets a silver sword that youll basically exclusively use for the entire game. He's not a lance lord, he's a sword Lord that has the option to use a lance if you really want to
It's okay, it could be worse, they could be the truly most forgotten fire emblem protagonist ever, Al. The fact that the first confirmed dragon protagonist who seems to be one of the inspirations for corrin even has a few cypher cards is lucky enough i suppose.
Actually, Eirika's usage of a rapier is notable because she's one of the few characters in fiction that does it *right.* Rapiers are not supposed to be used in slashing motions, they are supposed to be used to puncture the opponent, they are an stabbing weapon. Also, they are a class of weapon only used by the elite (like royalty and anybody else on said level), that's why only Eirika and Marth start the game with them.
@@craigyeah1052 Does Eliwood start with one? Or can he use it? Because, if its the latter, then I would say that he's an exception for the sake of gameplay.
Fun fact in regards with the Rapier: before Echoes made it available to all units, there is actually only one other non-Lord unit that can use it... Phina! The first ever dancer in the series! It was a diegetic way to clue into the fact she is royalty, albeit from a lost house. New Mystery actually removed this mechanic, but Heroes recanonized this by giving her exclusive rights to it as a PRF Weapon Skill, with the only other character having it being Young Marth.
Azura and Camilla did manage to get a conversation in the 'Nohrian Festival of Bonds DLC' that was never released outside of Japan. It's actually pretty cute, and a bit sad.
I do find it funny that Ike is the strongest lord in lore but in reality its probably Corrin or Byleth given Fates unhinged power scaling And the fact that Byleth is such a stand alone threat in Hopes without their signature Weapon. Still tho. A buff meat head being the nost powerful is more entertaining.
After giving it a bit of thought, my headcanon is that when they call Ike the strongest they're refering to physical strength and most importantly battle prowess. Because Corrin's power is in their dragon form, and while Byleth is a one-person-army in Three Hopes, without the completely overpowered Hopes' iteration of Divine Pulse I think RD Ike could beat them in a 1v1
On Seliph's Awakening art: all DLC character art features the character drawn as the class they appear as in Awakening, with Marth being the exception as the Lodestar class is exclusive to him. So Seliph appears as a swordmaster in art because he is recruited as a swordmaster in-game.
While Roy's most canon mother is Ninian, that wouldn't make him 1/2 Manakete, but rather 1/4 Manakete as Ninian, and Nils by extension, themselves are half-manakete (Her mother Aenir was a Manakete and Nergal was human). A more accurate example in the same game would be Sophia who has the same heritage as Ninian (though we have no canon reason why she can't transform)
Sigurd does technically have access to lances on start, but his sword rank is much higher, he's given a silver sword to serve as his main weapon, and his PRF weapon is Tyrfing, a sword. He's also not the only pre-promoted lord, since Elincia (who totally should be on this list) starts RD in the Queen class. Or if you count her in PoR, she starts as Princess Crimea, also a pre-promote.
While it is true that Sigurd is definitely encouraged to use swords over lances, I think you're understating the value of his B lance rank--You receive the Brave Lance in Chapter 2, right when you start encountering enemies that actually don't just get effortlessly one-rounded by base Sigurd using the Silver Sword, and while the game is clearly encouraging you to keep it on Finn and finally have another unit start one-rounding people, the fact of the matter is that Sigurd is the strongest Brave Lance user in the generation and letting him use it to oneround even promoted armor units is a straight up strong strategy. If it weren't for the fact that Seliph won't be able to inherit it and use it to carry his poor base combat through the Chapter 6 grind, it would probably be one of his most widely used builds.
I got something that I think fits enough for the Aytolis twins... Despite being blatantly designed as fodder for other characters to mentor, Rowan gets to give Celica advice, establishing her at the bottom of the Fire Emblem Warriors mentorship hierarchy. Lianna is a bit trickier, but I'll go with her being the first female Lord to use a beefy bastard sword/Zweihander instead of the more slender one-handed swords favored by Celica, Lyn, and Lucina, Robin and Kris. Your opinion may vary on Lucina and Awakening's Falchion.
I agree with this sentiment, and will try to come up with a fact for each of them. *Xander, despite being known for being a nearly unstoppable unit in battle in terms of lore, is weaker when you fight him in chapter 26 of Birthright. This is because he wants to be killed after accidentally killing Elise. *Camilla is nearly swayed into believing Corrin during chapter 13 of Birthright (if memory serves), and is only kept from being convinced because of Leo's words. *Speaking of Leo, he is the only Nohrian royal to not have the wyvern rider line as part of his normal class set; he instead has to obtain it via an S support with Beruka. *Elise is the only royal that you are not forced to fight if you play the route she doesn't join, and she even accompanies the party for a few chapters, albeit not as a playable character. *Despite Ryoma being associated with lobsters due to the design of his armor, he's actually supposed to have a lion motif: his hair resembles a lion's mane, and the mask he wears, when given to another character as an accessory, is called a lion mask. *Hinoka was the last royal to be added to the game, and as such has less story significance than the other royals do. *Despite not having the class as part of his normal class set, Takami originally trained to be a samurai -- this is referenced in his supports with Hana, of whom was an old sparring partner of his (and it's partly implied that he gave up on swordmanship because she beat him badly after becoming Sakura's retainer), and Hinata's supports with Corrin bring this up as well, being Hinata's motivation to train with a sword. Additionally, Takami is the only character to have a unique model for a class that isn't a part of his normal class set, with his swordmaster model being based off of Sumeragi. *Sakura is the only royal to have a starting weapon rank of E, other than Corrin and Azura. This is likely because she's playable before the route split for more than one chapter, being the only royal from Hoshido or Nohr to have this distinction
One fun fact Ive heard (correct me if I am wrong) is that Claudes real Name is Khalid and he chose Claude due to the name being one of the most common in Fodland. If I remember correctly his VA Joe Zieja mentiond it in his Golden deer run or hinted at it.
Elincia absolutely is a lord. She's a major character through almost all of Path of Radiance, she has a unique class and game-over if she dies, and in Radiant Dawn, she gets a fresh new unique class and is the second tier 3 unit to be playable (the first being the Black Knight). She's even the protagonist for part 2, although the perspective does bounce around a little, so she's only playable for the prologue and endgame.
I'm pretty sure I heard in an interview that Rowan was originally an axe lord and Lianna a lance lord but this was scrapped because you can only play as one of the 2 OC's during story mode and they wanted the tutorial to play the same.
@@NagapediaFE I got another one, although not sure if everyone knew about it already, but turns out that the JP's VA for both Rowan and Lianna are actuallly siblings as well!
In 3:37 scene, Lyn is my favourite FE7 female main character, Because She is very difficult and not normally Eastern Swordmaster girl, And that her outfit(Sky blue mid-thick short sleeve long Cheongsam(Inside is dark green mid-thick short sleeve light armoured ninja suit, dark green mid-thick tight shorts), mid-thick fingerless gloves, Brown flat riding boots(dark green mid-thick tight ninja socks)) and equipment weapons(Mani Katti(Later Athos made Sol Katti to give her strike final boss), All Bow) can make her Strength is mid-high, Skill and Speed is highly, But her Physical defense is medium and Magic defense is mid-low, She good to use range weapon to attack Flying units(Pegasus Knight, Falcon Knight, Wyvern Rider, Wyvern Lord,Wyvern knight) and self-defense and support battle friends. So when I play the FE 7 games, Every remember FE 7 female main character and her outfit. Lyn wearing battle outfit is cool, She didn't like wearing leggings and heavily armour, Because she like comfortable and to easy move around, And that she can handing Mani Katti or Sol Katti or All Bow, So many player who think she is not only Lord, When she assault to Enemy leader and strike units or destroy enemy supplies, She will change to Ninja outfit and equipment(Take off Cheongsam and riding boot, Only wearing ninja suit and shorts and ninja socks and ninja straw sandals, equipped Mani Katti or Sol Katti and All Bow and Shuriken) going to Mission Impossible, But She really is Myrmidon, Swordmaster, Ninja, Master Ninja, That is awesome and nice pretty Sacaen Eastern shadow samurai-kunoichi princess.
I have to disagree with you saying sigurd focuses on lances, I guess you got that idea from engage (or heroes? Idk I don’t play either game) but if you play fe4 you will quickly realize that this is not the case. Not only does sigurd start with only a sword in his inventory but he is handed a shiny new silver sword on top of it in the prologue chapter. Adding to this his weapon ranks and lineage clearly paint him as a sword user, while he has B in lances he has a star rank in swords (which is kind of like an S rank from later games) meaning he can use every generic sword in the game as well as his own legendary Tyrfing, one of three holy swords in the game. That said sigurd does like using lances because contrary to popular belief they are good weapons in gen 1 with sigurd in particular really appreciating the javelin which you can build crit on.
There is no version of Sigurd in Heroes that uses lances, but there IS 2 versions of him using Light Magic! Both his Dancer alt and Teatime alt have him wielding light magic, implying he has a level of magic capacity despite having a 0% growth in it in Genealogy. Heroes tends to follow suit to a Lord's capacity, even in regards to their alternate forms.
Since Radiant Dawn has so many characters who could technically be considered protagonists (they lead an army, are mandatory to deploy, and serve as a lose condition if they die), I’m gonna name some fun facts for all of them. -Ike’s personal sword in RD, Ettard, was actually called Alondite in the Japanese version. However, the names were switched in the English version. As a little bonus fact, Ike’s name actually appears in the data for the original (scrapped) version of FE6. -Since Micaiah has a heron laguz ancestor, and is capable of singing heron galdrs, she is technically the only bard protagonist. Ok, so that’s a stretch, but it would have been really cool if she had gotten galdrs upon promoting in part 4. -Sothe, army co-commander in part 4, does not have any voluntary promotions, despite technically not being a pre-promote in either game due to RD’s three tier system. In Path of Radiance, he is incapable of promoting. In Radiant Dawn, his promotion is scripted. -Sanaki, army co-commander in part 4, is the only character in the franchise to have the Empress class. Yeah sorry, couldn’t find anything more interesting than that. -To my recollection, Elincia (protagonist of part 2) was the first flying staff user in the franchise, and only the second to have both swords and staves behind Leif in FE4. (Edit: my recollection was wrong) -Tibarn, army commander in part 4, has more NPC appearances within chapters than any other playable character in the franchise (to my knowledge), appearing as an NPC twice in PoR, and once in RD. -Nephenee, who commands the little ragtag group of her, Brom, and Heather in chapter 2-1, is the first character I know of to canonically have a country accent. Yes, I’m kinda scraping the bottom of the barrel here. -Lucia, commander of a small investigation party in 2-2, is the first female playable royal retainer in the franchise (no, Isadora doesn’t count). -Geoffrey, commander of Crimea’s knights in 2-3, is the first pre-promote paladin to come with lances and bows. Yeah, I shouldn’t have signed myself up for this. -Ranulf, co-commander in 3-4, is Fire Emblem’s first and best catboy. This took me way too long.
A fun one for Rowan at least was that he originally had blue hair, but IS then showed Tecmo Koei Alfonse to them as FE Heroes was still in development and they had to change Rowan's hair color because a blue haired lord from a spin off game that summoned FE Heroes from other worlds would've made him and Lianna too similar to Alfonse and Sharena
I was gonna mention Edelgard’s design doesn’t feature the color blue on her render. But I forgot what colors make up purple which is plastered over her iris’
In that case Claude does indirectly feature blue because he has green eyes and green is blue + yellow. Huh, now that I think about it, green is the color mainly associated with Almyra in 3H, so I wonder if the eye color was meant to foreshadow his connection to it.
With the whole celica cut moring is by looking at people moring in the moring quotes this could of only happen in post game this also would explain why alm doesn't have these as alm is the main lord of post game but for whatever this cut from the game and celica causes a gameover when killed in postgame.
That Edelgard fact is wrong. Edelgard was always intended to be a Lord, but the devs figured they should do something new and have her be the antagonist and the protagonist's rival
I agree saying she wouldn’t be a Lord is premature on my part, but do we know for certain she was meant to be a Lord? Her role during development sounds too antagonistic for me to be a Lord. It reminds me of Byleth in Three Hopes and I wouldn’t consider them a Lord in that game
@@NagapediaFEhi gonna throw my two sense into this, CF was never supposed to actually be a route but they added it very late in development because they were told to do so
@@NagapediaFEto be fair, you said she wasn’t intended to be a house leader. That doesn’t mean she wasn’t intended to be a lord character, since Byleth is also not a house leader but IS a lord.
It always bothered me that Azura didn’t have a support with Camilla, especially considering young Azura in Heroes dreamt up M/F Corrin, Mikoto, and Camilla to comfort her
I consider all main Kings and Queens to be Lords. Alfred, Diamant, Ivy and Timerra definitely fall on that. Not counting ting Diamant is crazy anyway. His class is Lord
I considered Kiran the same as Mark, but I did include Robin, so I understand lines are blurry there. I’d say Robin is more of a main character than those other two though
I'm abit confused on why you do not consider Ryoma, Xander, Ivy, Timerra, Alfred, and Diamant as Lords. Is it because they're technically in-line of waiting to be King/Queen?
Most because of story reasons, really. I wouldn't consider the four Engage Lords to be as vital to the story as the other characters in the video, but I did consider including them. Ryoma and Xander same thing, depending on which version of Fates you have they aren't even playable.
In 4:20 scene, Eirika is my favourite Fire Emblem character, Because She is pretty, badass, bright, gorgeous swordsmanship princess, And that her battle stats is very awesome, Her skill and speed very high, But her strength and defense is medium and magic defense is low-mid, Maybe she's wearing awesome outfit have something to do with it(mid thick short sleeve crimson turtleneck tunic, Gold plate mail(marking Renais emblem), Fingerless Plate Gloves, Yellow mark Renais emblem cloak, White skirt, crimson long flat boots, Handing rapier), So when I play the FE 8 games, Every remember FE 8 female main character and her outfit. Eirika wearing battle outfit is cool, She didn't like wearing leggings and heavily armour, Because she like comfortable and lightly armour to easy move around, And that she can handing Shamshir, So many player remember FE 4 Ayra outfit, There are many player who think she is not Lord, But She really is Myrmidon and Swordmaster, That is awesome and nice pretty Reanis Eastern fast swordsman princess. In fact and original character story, Eirika wearing special design skirt and bloomer can make She easy evade and freedom move around and comfortable, And that make She can high jump back turn somersault to escape enemy group unit surrounded, But more enemy male units looking her skirt inside, Lucky her bloomer is moderately thick and breathable and deep green, And She ready fight against to enemy male units and training hard herself and that She training focus and take easy herself when enemy male units looking her skirt inside, That why Eirika only wearing skirt and bloomer no wear lower body armour, That She is basic survival battle and save her life. Sorry! I mean her "high jump back turn somersault" skill is like Nintendo famous video game "Star Fox" series, Fox McCould operating "ArWing" Ultra-range fighter spacecraft use the somersault evade and escape enemies space fighter.
It's often overlooked, I wish it got more love. One of my favourite games ever made, hope to see a sequel someday with more FE canons other than just Archanea/Ylisse represented
Ike literally killed a goddess(of course he took help from yune but still), the strongest enemy Dimitri had to fight was Thales(which i doubt is even canon but even then not even close to a goddess level).
1-rhea is also a lord imo, she was done dirty but she should be considered that . 2.I think the strongest is a bit of a not specific title, objectively speaking From robin to alear they should be stronger, celica should also be stronger for being able to use strong magic and sword, micaiah also has some bonkers magic... alm is literally a conqueror fighting his way through the game at the head of the army, heck,even fighting armies of necro dragons and grima himself
@NagapediaFE I think it's weird because 3 houses has 4 main characters and byleth isn't one of them, he is the avatar, I guess that's still a main character but uh, I think the only reason why rhea isn't playable is because koei tecmo are edelgard fanboya
Correct me if I'm wrong, here's another fun fact about Robin: he's the only Lord who doesn't start the story as a royal, but becomes a royal later once Valadar inherits the throne.
One fun fact about the three main characters from Heroes is their eyes colors reflects their weapon's weakness, Alfonse's eyes are blue which he is weak to lances, Sharena's eyes are green which she is weak to axes and Heroes's Anna's eyes are red which she is weak to swords!
A fun fact for If/Fates; it is possible for Shiro, the future king of Hoshido, to marry Selkie, and Siegbert, the future king of Nohr, can marry Velouria.
By setting up these marriages, you will create new lineages in the respective kingdoms where the subjects will now be ruled by Kitsunes and Wolfskins, instead of humans.

It’s been a good while since I played FE4, so his portrayal in both Engage and Heroes definitely made me misremember. You’re completely right though!
@@NagapediaFEBut Sigurd has never used a lance in Heroes, and he’s almost always shown wielding Tyrfing in Engage.
There is no version of Sigurd in Heroes that uses lances, but there IS 2 versions of him using Light Magic! Both his Dancer alt and Teatime alt have him wielding light magic, implying he has a level of magic capacity despite having a 0% growth in it in Genealogy. Heroes tends to follow suit to a Lord's capacity, even in regards to their alternate forms.
Ike hype, Strongest Hero and the GOAT!!!
Since Radiant Dawn has so many characters who could technically be considered protagonists (they lead an army, are mandatory to deploy, and serve as a lose condition if they die), I’m gonna name some fun facts for all of them.
-Ike’s personal sword in RD, Ettard, was actually called Alondite in the Japanese version. However, the names were switched in the English version. As a little bonus fact, Ike’s name actually appears in the data for the original (scrapped) version of FE6.
-Since Micaiah has a heron laguz ancestor, and is capable of singing heron galdrs, she is technically the only bard protagonist. Ok, so that’s a stretch, but it would have been really cool if she had gotten galdrs upon promoting in part 4.
-Sothe, army co-commander in part 4, does not have any voluntary promotions, despite technically not being a pre-promote in either game due to RD’s three tier system. In Path of Radiance, he is incapable of promoting. In Radiant Dawn, his promotion is scripted.
-Sanaki, army co-commander in part 4, is the only character in the franchise to have the Empress class. Yeah sorry, couldn’t find anything more interesting than that.
-To my recollection, Elincia (protagonist of part 2) was the first flying staff user in the franchise, and only the second to have both swords and staves behind Leif in FE4. (Edit: my recollection was wrong)
-Tibarn, army commander in part 4, has more NPC appearances within chapters than any other playable character in the franchise (to my knowledge), appearing as an NPC twice in PoR, and once in RD.
-Nephenee, who commands the little ragtag group of her, Brom, and Heather in chapter 2-1, is the first character I know of to canonically have a country accent. Yes, I’m kinda scraping the bottom of the barrel here.
-Lucia, commander of a small investigation party in 2-2, is the first female playable royal retainer in the franchise (no, Isadora doesn’t count).
-Geoffrey, commander of Crimea’s knights in 2-3, is the first pre-promote paladin to come with lances and bows. Yeah, I shouldn’t have signed myself up for this.
-Ranulf, co-commander in 3-4, is Fire Emblem’s first and best catboy.
This took me way too long.
Erinys, Fee, and Hermina are fliers who can use swords and staves in FE4
@@MP-rc4lc Fair enough, forgot about them.
Alfonse and Lucina are my favourite characters
The Micaiah fact is always so sad. “Oh my god her Res Growth rate is 90%” like that’s scratching the service but your right
A fun one for Rowan at least was that he originally had blue hair, but IS then showed Tecmo Koei Alfonse to them as FE Heroes was still in development and they had to change Rowan's hair color because a blue haired lord from a spin off game that summoned FE Heroes from other worlds would've made him and Lianna too similar to Alfonse and Sharena
Huh, I never heard that one. Definitely a fun fact though!
Hé, Wat gaaf om een Fire Emblem youtuber te vinden met een Nederlandse nationaliteit! Leuke video. Ga zo door!
Dank je!
I was gonna mention Edelgard’s design doesn’t feature the color blue on her render. But I forgot what colors make up purple which is plastered over her iris’
In that case Claude does indirectly feature blue because he has green eyes and green is blue + yellow. Huh, now that I think about it, green is the color mainly associated with Almyra in 3H, so I wonder if the eye color was meant to foreshadow his connection to it.
@@ManuCarrotman312 precisely. In a way, Blue as a primary color serves as a strong reference to how influential every lord of FE is.
No facts for Itsuki from Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE
With the whole celica cut moring is by looking at people moring in the moring quotes this could of only happen in post game this also would explain why alm doesn't have these as alm is the main lord of post game but for whatever this cut from the game and celica causes a gameover when killed in postgame.
That Edelgard fact is wrong. Edelgard was always intended to be a Lord, but the devs figured they should do something new and have her be the antagonist and the protagonist's rival
I agree saying she wouldn’t be a Lord is premature on my part, but do we know for certain she was meant to be a Lord? Her role during development sounds too antagonistic for me to be a Lord. It reminds me of Byleth in Three Hopes and I wouldn’t consider them a Lord in that game
@@NagapediaFEhi gonna throw my two sense into this, CF was never supposed to actually be a route but they added it very late in development because they were told to do so
@@NagapediaFEto be fair, you said she wasn’t intended to be a house leader. That doesn’t mean she wasn’t intended to be a lord character, since Byleth is also not a house leader but IS a lord.
@@crisovelot *cents
@crisovelot Interviews confirm that CF was planned early, so it was always meant to be there from the beginning
It always bothered me that Azura didn’t have a support with Camilla, especially considering young Azura in Heroes dreamt up M/F Corrin, Mikoto, and Camilla to comfort her
I liked the fact about colour the best
I consider all main Kings and Queens to be Lords.
Alfred, Diamant, Ivy and Timerra definitely fall on that.
Not counting ting Diamant is crazy anyway. His class is Lord
I'm glad you included heroes, but I'm mildly surprised you dont count kiran as a Lord.
Kiran isn't a lord. Same as Robin, Mark, Kris...
I considered Kiran the same as Mark, but I did include Robin, so I understand lines are blurry there. I’d say Robin is more of a main character than those other two though
Sigurd, Seliph and Ike are God-Tier lords
Where is kris?
What about Elencia (even though she is only available for a few chapters she is by technicality the Lord for Crimea)
I'm abit confused on why you do not consider Ryoma, Xander, Ivy, Timerra, Alfred, and Diamant as Lords.
Is it because they're technically in-line of waiting to be King/Queen?
Most because of story reasons, really. I wouldn't consider the four Engage Lords to be as vital to the story as the other characters in the video, but I did consider including them. Ryoma and Xander same thing, depending on which version of Fates you have they aren't even playable.
🤓 um actually celica is a prepromoted priestess
She was the Jagen of SOV the whole time.
The lemon brothers being the only lords not in heroes just reinforces how fkin boring they are
In 4:20 scene, Eirika is my favourite Fire Emblem character, Because She is pretty, badass, bright, gorgeous swordsmanship princess, And that her battle stats is very awesome, Her skill and speed very high, But her strength and defense is medium and magic defense is low-mid, Maybe she's wearing awesome outfit have something to do with it(mid thick short sleeve crimson turtleneck tunic, Gold plate mail(marking Renais emblem), Fingerless Plate Gloves, Yellow mark Renais emblem cloak, White skirt, crimson long flat boots, Handing rapier), So when I play the FE 8 games, Every remember FE 8 female main character and her outfit.
Eirika wearing battle outfit is cool, She didn't like wearing leggings and heavily armour, Because she like comfortable and lightly armour to easy move around, And that she can handing Shamshir, So many player remember FE 4 Ayra outfit, There are many player who think she is not Lord, But She really is Myrmidon and Swordmaster, That is awesome and nice pretty Reanis Eastern fast swordsman princess.
In fact and original character story, Eirika wearing special design skirt and bloomer can make She easy evade and freedom move around and comfortable, And that make She can high jump back turn somersault to escape enemy group unit surrounded, But more enemy male units looking her skirt inside, Lucky her bloomer is moderately thick and breathable and deep green, And She ready fight against to enemy male units and training hard herself and that She training focus and take easy herself when enemy male units looking her skirt inside, That why Eirika only wearing skirt and bloomer no wear lower body armour, That She is basic survival battle and save her life.
Sorry! I mean her "high jump back turn somersault" skill is like Nintendo famous video game "Star Fox" series, Fox McCould operating "ArWing" Ultra-range fighter spacecraft use the somersault evade and escape enemies space fighter.
Have I been mispronouncing manakete for years?
It has been brought to my attention I have may have mispronounced it myself in this video lol
no tms?
how disappointing
It's often overlooked, I wish it got more love. One of my favourite games ever made, hope to see a sequel someday with more FE canons other than just Archanea/Ylisse represented
Claude is the first non-white Lord in a FE Game
I thought Manakete is pronounced like parakeet? Shadow Dragon kind of referenced this.
Huh, you might be right. I’ve always pronounced it as I do in the video, but come to think of it, the parakeet way makes sense
I mean, it's a japanese based word, I think it's fair pronouncing it as it's written, not as the english language would pronounce it.
You covered the Heroes lords but not Rowan and Lianna. Disgusting.
3:20 Does Chrom not count?
he did die in the main timeline
Im an Ike guy to the bitter end, but i think Dimitri might be stronger
Ike literally killed a goddess(of course he took help from yune but still), the strongest enemy Dimitri had to fight was Thales(which i doubt is even canon but even then not even close to a goddess level).
8:50 They arent fun characters lol
1-rhea is also a lord imo, she was done dirty but she should be considered that .
2.I think the strongest is a bit of a not specific title, objectively speaking
From robin to alear they should be stronger, celica should also be stronger for being able to use strong magic and sword, micaiah also has some bonkers magic... alm is literally a conqueror fighting his way through the game at the head of the army, heck,even fighting armies of necro dragons and grima himself
Rhea not being playable kinda prevents her from being a Lord imo. I’d say Yuri is closer actually for that very reason
@NagapediaFE I think it's weird because 3 houses has 4 main characters and byleth isn't one of them, he is the avatar, I guess that's still a main character but uh, I think the only reason why rhea isn't playable is because koei tecmo are edelgard fanboya
Correct me if I'm wrong, here's another fun fact about Robin: he's the only Lord who doesn't start the story as a royal, but becomes a royal later once Valadar inherits the throne.
Isn't Byleth in a similar situation? Starts as mercenary, can end as archbishop (which I guess isn't royalty, but still)
I think shez is a bit stronger than ike, he kinda has super overpowered abilities
