2:11:00 Mangs discussing about Adult Tiki. Have to agree with Mangs that Tiki was massive, wasted potential and likely just thrown in as fanservice and a reference in Awakening. As a more plot important character, she could have given some spice to the honestly kinda lame later stages and increased the cast instead of seeing the same five characters over and over again. Would it have been too outlandish to incorporate the "Voice of Naga" to summon Naga in the bare-bones chapter 24? Tikis insignificance to the plot gets almost tragic if she dies during her Paraloque, with the characters basically just saying: "Oops, guess that happened. Lets forget this dragon chick and move on."
Well That…was rough. Some bad luck. Surprisingly good chapter 12. Chapter 13 is no joke. A bit sad season 3 may not be coming, but honestly I think without some of the bad luck at the beginning this is doable. Still. Fun while it lasted. Main take away is that Subaki is way better than I thought. I consider him useless trash but he was the mvp.
But yeah facing Xander as an enemy is what made me realize how much better ryoma is than him. They tried to make them equivalent but Xander is nothing compared to him. Yeah in player hands with optimization him being a defensive juggernaut who specializes in one rounding is amazing. But he is never a threat in any mode that has him as an enemy. It’s hilarious how easy that chapter 12 escape was by comparison. In fact Xander’s squad is pathetic compared to Ryoma’s. That part in the middle of chapter 12 is kinda nuts, but was easier with the non-threats that are peri and laslow.
The problem with Engage was 100% its presentation. The VTuber art style was a ploy to try to attract more casual and younger audiences to the franchise (which 3H already attracted a ton of new players and casuals) so it was redundant and made veterans turn away from it. They definitely should have brought a more modern artist to design Engage like Kozaki or Hidari. Even older ones like Wada Sachiko/Senri Kita would have killed it.
For the stairway map, what likely happened is that they tried splitting up the army, but got softlocked in testing (since testers must try to play unlikely scenarios, like killing off almost every ally). I think the solution is just to have a reward at the end. Ot doesn't softlock you at you.
always an epic birthquest stream! sucks I missed the start of stream but I can catch up; but also mangs scared himself at the beginning LMAO! ha mangs you dimitri'd yourself. also what happened are we getting another season? season 3 of mangs birthquest? did the RNG gods not be nice to you?? are they telling us that we can't fret over every birth-quest?
Okay easy way to know the Fates weapon triangle: Just think of the starter Pokemon type advantages. Grass (Green) beats Water (Blue), Water beats Fire (Red), and Fire beats Grass
I think I'm going to get a lot of shit, because this community hates with a passion Engage to an almost comical degree, but I really don't understand why Mangs keeps insisting that Engage 'sold poorly' and 'it brought the series at it's lowest point', because both of these statements are either inaccurate or are missing a lot of context. Engage sold in it's first 3 months 1.6 million units, and that's counting only physical units, because it's the only ones Nintendo reports on, so it wouldn't surprise me if all in all, it managed to break 2+ million easily. Now that might seem 'poor sales', especially compared to Three Houses' 4 million units, but Engage barely got any kind of marketing; it got revealed in a random Nintendo Direct, got a couple of trailers and then released, it's not fair to put it in the same pedestal of Three Houses, who instead got a lenghty and in-depth marketing for basically a full year since it was revealed. If Engage sold around 2+ million, it would put it around Awakening and only below Fates, I dare anyone to say that those games sold poorly too, cuz we both know that's bs. I really hope this kind of stuff is mentioned in your infamous Engage videos, because even if I'm not the biggest fan of the game, it gets really tiring hearing the same doomer gloomer shit for almost 2 years now, acting like one game killed the entire franchise, it's ignorant at best and at worst, it just sounds like you're saying it to appease the common sentiment of your community, which sucks if that's the case, considering you're the most popular FE content creator, I wish you would have more solid opinions and stand by them. Anyways, comment is too long and nobody probably gives a shit, but just wanted to type it out after yet another "FE is a dead franchise" comments, if you don't like the series anymore to this level, just stop being so toxic about it and play something else.
It’s not just the sales, it’s also the fact that Google analytics show engage not being searched nearly as much as three houses meaning the popularity died out relatively quickly compared to its predecessor
@@dangitarmy7688 That really doesn't mean much through, especially regarding games sales, you won't have Nintendo looking up how well it did on "Google analytics" because unless you're a content creator that is really into it, it doesn't matter at all how popular it was by Google searches, this is such a worthless point I don't even know why it's even brought up like it significates anything. I don't know how to tell you this, but FE isn't in the same spot as it was 10+ years ago with Radiant Dawn and Shadow Dragon, it can afford to not sell as much as it's predecessor, and it can also afford a "weaker" title (even through calling it that is unfair imo) like Engage because Nintendo isn't so strict with their sales expectations like many other companies, especially nowadays. IS only grew during this period with 3H and Engage, so you can't even say it's bad for them.
I could argue with that statement of awakening and fates. You see, these 2m+ for Awakening and Fates mean much more that 2m+ of Engage. Because before Awakening, series were at REALLY low point, and the fact that Awakening was sold for such a large sum of money makes it mean more than sellings of the game that was hyped after TH. In the end, i think it is a difficult topic to argue about, considering all and all (Hype after TH, Awakening rise up, poor Marketing). But one thing is clear - you cannot judge how well Engage was actually sold. And all of this is just due to lack of information. So, it is stupid to even try to tell that this game was sold badly
The engage sales thing is a dumb take as its one of the better selling SRPGs of recent times, I think it mostly stems from the idea that three houses sold so well and comparing it to that. But people forget about the main reason three houses sold so well, the entire world being locked inside for two years with plenty of time to sink into games combined with a thriving and large amount of youtube content which is arguably the strongest form of marketing of all. Using Mangs as an example as he's one of the biggest fire emblem youtubers and main marketing pulls for the game, he made 33 videos on engage including livestreams but 342 videos about three houses including livestreams. Now this is fair enough as why would someone make videos about a game they dislike but its a huge factor in why "the algorithm doesn't like the game".
Three Houses is a strange outlier and should not be put in a straight comparison for Engages success or so-called lack of it. Those who think IS will pump out successes on the scale of Three Houses on a consecutive streak need to temper their expectations. I'd say Engage peformed adequadly well, neither horrendous nor truly exceptional, and that is good enough.

2:11:00 Mangs discussing about Adult Tiki.
Have to agree with Mangs that Tiki was massive, wasted potential and likely just thrown in as fanservice and a reference in Awakening. As a more plot important character, she could have given some spice to the honestly kinda lame later stages and increased the cast instead of seeing the same five characters over and over again. Would it have been too outlandish to incorporate the "Voice of Naga" to summon Naga in the bare-bones chapter 24?
Tikis insignificance to the plot gets almost tragic if she dies during her Paraloque, with the characters basically just saying: "Oops, guess that happened. Lets forget this dragon chick and move on."
«The only massive thing about Tiki are her boobs.» -The devs of Awakening, probably
Setsuna is still alive and truly can we ask for anymore?
1:55:42
Ayooo!! I made that meme!
I heard Bethany laugh in the background, too. 😂
Well
That…was rough. Some bad luck. Surprisingly good chapter 12. Chapter 13 is no joke.
A bit sad season 3 may not be coming, but honestly I think without some of the bad luck at the beginning this is doable. Still. Fun while it lasted.
Main take away is that Subaki is way better than I thought. I consider him useless trash but he was the mvp.
Subaki is great since he's a peg knight who knows what a Def stat is. Def and Res with a solid Spd stat and ok HP makes for a pretty resilient unit.
Well, rip; a decent attempt. Perhaps Season 3 will have better luck (hopefully Hinata doesn't bite it and we see more Triple Threat Gaming)
If you try again, you might want to reclass Hinata to Oni Savage, you'll get axes earlier and another sturdy unit.
But yeah facing Xander as an enemy is what made me realize how much better ryoma is than him. They tried to make them equivalent but Xander is nothing compared to him. Yeah in player hands with optimization him being a defensive juggernaut who specializes in one rounding is amazing. But he is never a threat in any mode that has him as an enemy.

Which is weird because canonically Xander is the strongest of them all.

Welp. Guess we might get season 3. To think you went down to Scarlet's personal skill of all things.

also what happened are we getting another season? season 3 of mangs birthquest? did the RNG gods not be nice to you??
are they telling us that we can't fret over every birth-quest?
In the end, our quest never got birthed, it is a sad day today. Unless we get season 3.
We might just abort our birthquest…the egg didn’t hatch.
His playthrough, Scarlett’s choice.
ayyyyyyyyy hes gonna use rinkah
i love her bro shes fun asf
If season3 is coming maybe you can try, I don’t know…keep oboro alive?
My brother walked in and legit asked "Why is that man so bald?"
Hey Mangs. Want to try this mod out for myself but can't seem to get it to work on Citra. Are you playing on an emulator or did you just mod your DS?
Okay easy way to know the Fates weapon triangle: Just think of the starter Pokemon type advantages. Grass (Green) beats Water (Blue), Water beats Fire (Red), and Fire beats Grass
