What's your favorite April Fools timed post from FE and why?
Let’s do top 10 most evil Fire Emblem antagonists/villains
I like how the joke about the whole Edo Period FE thing comes from them "trying to modernize" the games. Its one of those subtle winks that usually April Fools jokes have.
At the rate the quality keeps going up we're going to get a straight up April Fools game eventually
Like with fgo?
Isn't that the Tokyo game tho?
@@omnibeta1876 TMS has at the very least (If you don't enjoy the extremely exaggerated modern Japanese setting) really good gameplay, it's not a joke game
what would that be a full on fire emblem dating sim with all the series greats but with none of the strategy gameplay at all?
Fafnir & Reginn is the best one because it’s a shitpost in its purest form. It’s like a Fortnite dance or Specialist meme but actually made by IntSys
It reminds me of those old MMD meme videos. Good times.
My favorite FE related April Fool's post was not from IS themselves but I think it was from the Serenes Forest forums. It claimed to be translating a Sakurai Kotaku or whatever magazine interview that claimed he believed that Smash was so lacking in Fire Emblem characters that he was announcing a new Smash game with only Fire Emblem characters, with a roster of around 70 playable characters. I found it to be really funny
That would actually be hilarious. And believable too. Now I'll forever mourn the lack of FE Smash xD
I mean.. i'd be totally down for that if they make the different sword lords have a very varied fighting style. :D
Can't have Lyn fight the same way Chrom does as example. One is a quick and nimble fighter while the other bashes holes into rockwalls with a wooden sword.
Actually i would love a Super Fire Emblem Bros. With a diverse cast and characters from FE1 to TMS and 3H
It would actually be very cool
Pssst, I heared Nino is toptier, but only because Sakurai gave her a sword.
Okay but unironically I really want Hector and Ephraim in Smash
That Valbar spin off had me reeling when they first announced it. Another fun little thing worth mentioning is the April Fools Cipher cards they made for the Cipher OCs with fun art and absolutely busted abilities, but with restrictions like "you can only play this card on April 1st of this year" or something
"What's next?"
An April Fool's joke that no one takes seriously, but it turns out that IS wasn't just making another shitpost.
IS: "I have outsmarted your outsmarting"
Lord Darkheart: hold my beer
@@francois584 XD Love it
Imagine they announce an FE4 remake, but it’s the most barebones remake in existence, and has poor performance. Then E3 Season comes, Nintendo Direct starts, we get the trailer again, it fades to black, and then it says something like “Did you really think we do that?”. And then, a remix of the Prologue theme starts playing, flash of light, and the true remake is shown, and it’s everything a Fire Emblem 4 remake should be and more.
@@paperluigi6132 For all the FE4 fans out there who have been holding out hope for a remake, I sincerely hope they get what they want.
Basically like yakuza: like a dragon?
Both this year and Valentia's April Fool jokes went way too far even though they didn't really need to, and I'll always appreciate them for that.
The lonely puppeteer definitely caught me off guard with it's quality. I would have likely fallen for the Valbar spinoff too if I had noticed it at the time.
Honestly all I remember is that somebody’s mutton got poisoned, something about rage fest, and somebody getting smashed and going on a rampage with a fire tome.
Fun times, honestly
I didn't think Battle of Revolution was THAT detailed. There was so much more to it.
As a joke, Legendary Feh takes my favourite. The sheer absurdity of how powerful Feh was, not to mention instantly taking the top spot for alts was goofy. It was far from serious. But it was goofy and great at the same time. Overall though, the Lonely Puppeteer remix takes my favourite. While I love the others, there is no doubt that the production quality has improved a lot over time especially compared to its main comparison with the book 5 dance off. Both the video and music of the Lonely Puppeteer remix is wonderful overall and I'm sure many can agree it is thoroughly enjoyable even disregarding April Fools.
I even completely forgot about april fools on this one, Lonely Puppeteer remix was awesome in every way. I didn't even knew the tambourine could be so complex to play
The FEH trailer also finally revealed her voice actresses.
Ever time I see a paragaraph starting with ''As a joke" give me PTSD
If this continues, I have the feeling Intelligent Systems could create an entire game as an April fools celebration in the future.
Lonely Puppeteer’s remix lived rent free in my head for weeks after it released. The remix bops, the actual performance was entrancing and they successfully made me like Ash. She has so much personality in the video I had no choice lol. As it is, that is my favourite April Fools joke from IS. Made even better by the fact it was *late*
Love the Valbar one so much to this day! Praying they get alts like that in a ninja banner one day
But Kiran on the tambourine takes the cake for me. So much personality in him aaa
do the askr
I personally love Lonely Puppeteer, it’s so highly quality and upbeat, an absolutely incredible video 🎻🎸
I like how the videos they made for April fools look better than the cutscenes in three houses
It may be an unpopular take, but I’m hoping FE takes after the visual style of Heroes/Awakening/Fates going forward. I adore the cutscenes in those games and I can’t help but miss the sprites on the overworld map.
@@Blitz_Spencer Nah I doubt that is unpopular, 3H's scenes look kind of bad
Shadows of Valentia's are acceptable
@@Fermin-hw5pd Three Houses' cutscenes have always been beautiful to me. Not sure why I keep hearing people complain about it.
Unpopular opinion: I could definitely use more of Tellius Cutscenes
@@Fermin-hw5pd
Echoes had very mixed cutscenes. A lot of the times, I thought the characters looked a bit off model. There are scenes where Celica and Alm look like half assed versions of themselves. Awakening and Fates had amazing cutscenes compared to Echoes.
Man why does Battle of Revolution have to be a joke, it genuinely sounds so sick I would love to play it
Starting off the journey by fighting some bandit in a village backyard,
ended up fighting some demon god or sealed satan from another dimension or outer space.
Every Fire Emblem games ever.
or in 3H:
Either fight your spouse’s sibling or the CEO of racism.
Moove with Askr was the best, and even though it just came out of nowhere, you got a special map to face for the accessory plus a boatload of stamina potions. Oh my goodness. The king shitpost.
Man, if this video was made today, we would be laughing again at Askr's fitness workout. That one is simply just too good as a joke.
My uncle works at Nintendo, next year they're going to have a special event where your phone sucks you inside upon loading the game and you have to live in the game for the rest of your life as the Summoner.
You know, the other thing i love about these april fools jokes is that the are steadily giving the summoner personality.
I'm convinced that Legendary Feh was a sort of revenge against all the players sharing sprite art of the fire mages in Feh cooking the owl.
I always end up constantly rewatching the Lonely Puppeteer Remix, it’s just so memorizing. And I don’t ever play FEH!
There literally 5 characters in the edo period joke, and they’re all existing FE characters and could easily be made as seasonal units in FEH
My favorite is the dance of because it just has such a specific unhinged energy, the models clearly not made for dances, the choreography clearly being impressive but seemingly just put on the models, the low effort rendering, that is kino. Compared to this year's, which is just a good music video for one of the remixes, is kind of too good for it's own purpose, especially since the characters playing instruments is much less surreal than them doing modern dances (which makes me wonder how surtr would look doing some form of dance)
I love FE shitposts... You never know what you're gonna get, but it's always gonna be a fun time!
I love the Lonely Puppeteer Spring Remix, it's a banger, i didn't even know it was supposed to be an april fools thing.
I haven't played FE Heroes in years but I'll still watch the youtube videos on it. I watched Lonely Pupeteers and it didn't even register as an April Fool's joke. I just sat there thinking it was a total flex and "Man this app makes money!"
I'm surprised at how Battle of Revolution and Spring remix were the only one's of these I've heard of, the 8-bit styled Heros game was just super cute!
As fun and cool the recent FEH jokes have been, Feh being a summonable hero is still my fave. She can go up to any gods in Zenith and obliterate them, but Askr has her detained as a mere messenger owl to contain her power.
Wut?
Edit: omg i didn t know.
My favorite has to be Lonely Puppeteer. In the latest chapter at the time, we had:
- Veronica getting executed in ten days
- Ash slowly losing feeling in her body
- Alfonse telling Letizia that he killed his father (which is technically true, but he's lying about the context), and that he'll kill her too
And the followup managed to be _that._ The timing still sends me. lol
Alfonse pulling up to Letizia and said "I killed my Father, now I'll kill you too." while wearing the biggest smile on his portrait still sends me even now, Book 6 was great lmao.
IIRC the Legendary Hero Feh video actually teased the release of a Feh Channel 4 days later because her special cooldown showed 4 at 6:56; in every other battle clip the special cooldown remains at 100
This year's april fools video showed me how hard someone can go on a tambourine. The other two musicians were amazing as well.
While not officially made by the devs my favorite fe April fools joke was when someone made a fe heroes fighting game and it was accidentally the most hype thing I've ever wanted to become a reality
and the guy who did that just made a follow up video a few months ago saying "i'm still cooking" while showing a make-up gameplay of that specific fighting game.
I don't know how, but i missed al of these so thanks for sharing!
Feh's announcement as a playable character in FEH was the only April Fool's video I'd watched from them, and it wasn't believable by any means, but still, it was hilarious to see her just demolishing everything, haha. Battle of Revolution's page was very well done, though, I like how much they fleshed it out.
The 2017 Aprils fools game could make good rom-hack material
There are these April Fools-pranks that aren't funny but rather ranging from disappointing to actively maddening that they aren't real. Battle of Revolution is very much in the disappointing-camp. Not only because the game sounds sick on its own, but also because we also would have gotten a switchversion if it was real...which the actual game that released(Echoes) did not. Even tho Echoes is my favorite FE to date, I think we probably live in the universe that got the lesser product unironically.(Though tbf, that release might have been botched, one never knows)
next april fools they´re gonna make a remake of FE3 and say "April fools, you´re actually getting FE3 and FE19!"
i have to say my most favorite of these is the feh legendary banner. its just so charming and even though we're not gonna ever get her as a unit, itd be so cool if they released official plushies of her and maybe like one or 2 random accessories to dress her with? like id buy that immiediately! also seeing the last two videos make me wish they continued to use that animation for the main fe games. like i genuinely believe fates and awakenings cutscenes look better than 3houses and these little prank videos just make me believe that more
Battle of Revolution was awesome. I fell for it too.
next year they will get the VA's (both english and japanese) of several main characters to recreate famous supports of the series in character and cheap cosplay
"If I were not a holy woman, I would beat you senseless."
These are the only April Fool's jokes I look forward to each year
Love the Lonely Puppeteer video and song! It’s sooooo good!
I have been reccomended recently the lonly puppetier remix but never checked the date, it was fun and well done
Lonely Puppeteer was my absolute favourite. Completely unexpected, but I love the video!
The dancing clips played as my sister was watching the baby shark song, it was perfect, I have basically seen Fire Emblem characters dancing to baby shark
I think my favorite surprise with the 8-bit FEH announcement was the fact that they included the TMS lords too
Fire Emblem peaked with Kiran's tambourine solo and will never peak again :P
just stumbled upon this vid, ratatoskr bout to go crazy with this year i bet
Lonely Puppeteer is the best one for me the music, animation/Motion Capture and colour is beautiful and gorgeous :D
FAFNIR REGINN DANCE OUTSHINES ALL
Nothing warms my heart like a high effort shitpost.
So that's why Valbar is on the Gaiden box art
lonely puppeteer is unironically a banger
Yeah I saw this year's and was very confused. I haven't played FEH in years, but I clicked on the video out of curiosity. It...certainly was a thing. The Valentia one seems neat, and I can appreciate a good twitter shitpost, too.
Great vid! My favourite April fools joke has to be the fighting game. Shame it never became a thing.
Low-key, I wish we had more FE games that don't take place in medieval Europe settings for once. I am actually mad that Battle of Revolution was an April Fool's joke, cause I would buy an FE game like that in a heartbeat if it was legit. It looked so legit.
That Reginn and Fafnir dance off and the Lonely Puppeteer music vid tho....those were actually masterpieces!
Lonely Puppeteer is definitely my favorite. The song is a bop and the actual video itself is infectiously fun.
That Puppeteer video lives in my mind rent free
My favorite was feh in game by far, I love when April fool's jokes stretch the game mechanics to their breaking point. I'd love to see that actually in game for April fool's, even if it's limited to training tower or something like that.
I think my favourite thing about that first april fools you mention, was that a lot of the character names are a reference to FE Gaiden/Echoes
summoner on dj is so funny to me, so naturally i made mine wear the headphones in game and i laugh whenever i see it
FE: BoR is to Gaiden seems like it would've been the same as Pokemon Legends is to gen 4
The Edo period game sounds like a Idea that i actually want
We aleardy had a more Sengoku FE(Birthright) but a full edo period game would be a nice idea
I really hope one day we get an all Anna banner in feh for April fool's
The lonely puppeteer remix video was so amazing it took me 3 days to realize it was an april fool
With the knowledge that Lonely Puppeteer exists, I am now hoping and praying that Intelligent Systems teams up with the people behind the Pokémon Gotcha! video to make a video like that with Fire Emblem. It would just be too perfect.
The 2019 Video being delisted might be due to FEH changing the VA? Also personal shout out to the one Fake Promo for a 2D Fighting Game in the FEH style.
My favorite April Fools video is Unshackled Gateways. Till this day I still want a FEH fighting game!
I love the 8 bit game, kinda wish there was a alternate cover in FEH. But the lonely puppeteer is so gorgeous in every way makes it my favorite
Honestly the Fafnir and Reginn one seems like a parody of MMD
Honestly i would like to have Samouraï Valbar for the ninja banner, his design is really cool.
I wish I was a competent enough percussionist to mimic that Tambourine performance to a T
Great... now I need to see a ninja Valbar in FEH.
Lonely Pupeteer Ashe made me go down bad
Glad I'm not the only one lmao
I would actually love a Fire Emblem game that plays in the current time. And no I don't mean stuff like FE encore, that had barely any fire emblem in it.
Don't forget the fake 2d Fighting Game Trailer they did for FEH in 2021 too!
FEH: Unshackled Gateways was another April Fools joke they did, creating a fake 2d Fighting Game UI similar to GranBlue Fantasy Vs, but ALSO had callback like "using the Premium Arrange version of Hardin's theme" & "Swordmaster Wrys" from Cipher XD
As a big FE & FGC fan it was hilarious. Still hoping for a Fire Emblem X Soul Calibur 3D fighting game one day :,)
Wasn't that fan made lol
@@Faerghast oh…was it?
Oops 😅
@@CNightmare072 That just proves that it was well made.
i was so confused when i saw the latest one thinking it was gonna be something legit like an update
God I really *really* wish that edo period FE game was real. It sounds really cool.
I honestly forgot about the Feh summoning event one, I’m so disappointed in myself
I gotta say, that fan-made FEH fighting game trailer did me in. THAT was easily my favourite April Fool's joke.
That first one reminds me of Ultima: Martian Dreams.
If they keep upping production quality they are gonna eventually just release a gag FE game instead of making a shitpost presentation on one
Time stamps would be nice for this, but thank you for the collection
thing is, the lonely puppeteer spring remix is actually really good
I saw an April fools video about lost ark VR. I was legit dusting off my old quest 2 until my friend told me it was an April fools joke...
The Lonely Puppeteer is far and away my favorite.
I hope this year's april fools music gets added to the game
I didn’t even realize Lonely Puppeteer was supposed to be an April Fools joke until this video lol
All these music and dance videos and they have yet to include… *Those who Rave in the Dark*
Imagine tho that sengoku period fe tho
i wish they'd bring back the 8bit maps, they were so cool! i wonder though, i have the 8-bit Claude and Edelgard accessories, but I don't have a Dimitri... did i skip something back then or was he was just not available? Also, it wasn't an april fool jokr in itself, but i loved how IS having a partnership with a tea company turned on them as they didn't expect that many ppl would be buying 3h themed tea sets... Good thing they reopened the preorders for the kits, i never have too many tea cups and I want to taste the Almyrian Pine Tea 😅
I want it *really* bad but can't afford it right now.
Wasn't Mars the poorly dubbed name for Marth as well
It was, yeah.
Yes but also that's Marth's Japanese name
@@marche800 ah that makes sense
but maaaaaaars
@@marche800 Well, it’s technically “Marusu” but it really does sound like Mars lol
Battle of Revolution is by far my favorite one too. I love the idea of a new game using old FE sprites. It's charming.
god i want that 2017 game
You said utterly when Ashe was on the screen lol
