I'd also add the Fleet from Sacred Stones to the section at the end. They're battleship ballistas that only appear in Ephraim's chapter 10, there's only two of them, and they never appear again.
Two things. Faceless in Fates lorewise are used to attack Hoshido since they can pass through the barrier Mikoto created. Second in Engage its explained that Sombrons corrupted are mindless zombies and the ones that retain their personality are created by Veyle seen in Hyacinth and then Sombron powered by the rings created Lumera. In the DLC the spoiler antagonist has this ability too.
For a bovine/human hybrid to be categorized as minotaur, it should resemble to the minotaur of the original tale, a bipedal humanoid with a bull's head and some body parts, the ones in FE are like taking that concept and mixing it with the centaur, (like lyonels from Zelda that are lion/"human" hybrid centaurs) Also would be cool to a have playable centaur character in a FE.
I'd like to throw in the Dolls from Fates that only appear in two or three maps on Conquest. They're basically the Hoshidan equivalent of Stoneborn, but where Stoneborn are explained as general dark magic, there's absolutely no explanation for why Hoshido is capable of creating what are essentially robots.
Because they are japanese and everything from hoshido is so cool. Meanwhile the nohrians have hammers and horseslayers created to defeat their own army 😂.
@@AkaiAzul nope, also the wyrmslayer and the blessed weapons were made to fight their own army too. So, for lore reasons, nohr is the dumbest army in the entire series.
I mean it was literally stated in game why some corrupted are different. The soldiers are made by sombron, they require less power to “resurrect”. Corrupted like Morion require more effort, and later hyacint & alear are made by Veyle who has a unique talent in creating corrupted more like their human selves. And lastly, Lumerra was made by Sombron after acquiring the strength he needed from the 12 rings. So…
I'm pretty sure in Engage it was said that Veyle was much better at making corrupted than Sombron, that's why for exemple hyacint is more lifelike than normal soldiers. don't quote me on it though, been a while since I played
That is correct. Sombron's corrupted all become mindless drone zombies while Veyle's corrupted can retain their personality in full, if she wants it. That's also why Alear could be revived as a corrupted near the end.
There is alot more to the Risen in Awakening. The reason why their faces look like masks because those are indeed masks. Also Risen with glowing red eyes are controlled by Grima which is why they are coordinated. Without Grima the eyes wouldnt glow red and they'd be going berserk.
You have a mistake regarding the corrupted. The rules of the corrupted aren’t different based on who gets corrupted, it’s WHO corrupts them. The game is extremely clear that Sombron CANNOT create sentient corrupted without the help of all 12 emblem rings, and only Veyle (And Rafal) is uniquely capable of being able to make sentient corrupted.
Personally, i like monsters as enemies. as seeing the same humanoids over and over, can feel a bit repetitive. so the odd creature here or there helps.
2:50 "with a different hairstyle" that's only true for the portraits. For their models in battle they directly reuse Rinea's model, just with the size scaling changed slightly. As a result, they visibly have Rinea's hairstyle on their model.
I always thought the disparity between Corrupted in Engage was down to Sombron/Evil Veyle "allowing" certain individuals to keep their sense of self. In fact ai think Evil Veyle even directly tells us that she's able to make more "advanced" Corrupted if she chooses to.
Umm, undead Dragons (or, as they are called, Dracolichs) also exist in Sacred Stones. Not only one is used by Lyon to mess with Myrrh, but they also appear in the Dungeons as the hardest enemies to beat.
Actually engage does explain the whole corrupted thing, the faceless corrupted are weak but easy to make (both Veyle and Sombrom can make these) while the stronger ones made closer to their living version take more power/skill to make, with Veyle having the natural talent to make these, while Sombron can't do it until AFFTER getting all 12 emblems
What about Fates' golems with their chainsaw weapon type? I think they're enemy-only despite giving access to puppeteers and replicas, you can't make the same thing.
I remember seeing the Fates reveal trailer in a Nintendo Direct. The stoneborn was one of the things that really stood out & it made me feel like the game was gonna be crazy and have dense lore and mythology (this didn't age well, but the trailer WAS pretty good tbf. That would be an interesting topic, interesting promotional materials.)
The reason some Corrupted are better made than others is that generic masked soldiers are the norm, but Sombron/Rafal wants to replicate the complete likeness for max emotional damage. The only reason Morion was more Zombie-like was that Sombron was still weak when he made him and didn't have the 6 Emblems yet.
@@magicfish8213 Huh, maybe you're right. I dunno, Engage doesn't have the most engaging story. I just don't feel like going into FE wiki and reading through some lines of dialogue for one thing that might add flavor to the game's world when it fails at that at every other turn. Didn't mean for that to come out so negative. I kinda just wanted to explain why I don't feel like making sure you're right, which kinda devolved into shitting on FE Engage's story. But hey, if you're right that's something kinda nice for Engage.
I was not going to mention your mistake on Engage's Corrupted since there were already a bunch of comments pointing it out, but then I got to the end and your final remark being about Morion again. If you want to close out a video by jokingly shitting on something, at least have the decency to be correct about it. Morion turned into a mindless drone because Sombron is worse than Veyle at making Corrupted before he gets absorbs the rings' power. Sombron can only raise mindless zombies, while Veyle (and Rafal) can retain the undead's personality if they want to. This is *explicitly* stated by Veyle in the game when you fight her alongside Corrupted Hyacinth, where she points out the difference between her own Corrupted and those of her Father. Don't be such a rube.
Gwyllgi and Mauthe dog aren't based on greek mythology. The Gwyllgi comes from a Wales myth of a three headed dog literlaly called a Gwyllgi which, in some case, is described as having three heads. And Medusa, in greek mythology, was also referred as "one of the gorgon sisters". So yeah, the gorgons are referencing the gorgons. Also, the worms are probably just worms. As they drop a different material from the other demonic beasts. The beasts drop Umbral steel, the same material relics are made of, while the worms drop Agarthium, which we can assume to be called that because becayse probably they are native of the place Agartha was before Sothis arrived and dug up the mineral themselves as they travel undeground. Sorry but this video feels bit undercooked compared to your other videos.
The strangest FE enemies to me are the ones that are the most elusive. For instance, FE3's one and only Berserker residing in Chapter 11. The class itself is simply a souped-up Hero in reality, but it still stands as one of the only classes in both books of FE3 that has no playable units. On a similar note, Lamia's mercenary squad in Chapter 4 of FE4 contains the game's only female archers. Since Brigid joins as a pre-promoted Sniper, these enemies have always stuck out to me. They show that Brigid's unpromoted class IS very much coded into the game, but is exclusive to these two enemies. Just to round things out, I'd like to touch on Radiant Dawn's Spirit enemies that appear during the last few chapters. They may not be as obscure as some of the other oddball enemies, but make up for it in how BIZARRE they are in execution. Their infinite movement range allows them to move to any square on the map and attack any unit at their discretion, providing a challenge unlike any other mechanic in the series. Maybe it's for the best that the idea wasn't tried again, because dealing with them in Sephiran's map was a complete nightmare.
Not an enemy, but I am fairly sure the NPC cavalier in the intro of Eliwood's story is the only female cavalier in the game.(She would also be the only female cavalier in the GBA games as a whole if Amelia couldn't promote into one in FE8) It's just not visible without looking into the game's internal data because the class reuses the male map sprites.
The Stoneborns absolutely terrified me when I encountered them for the first time. By far the most uncomfortable I’ve ever felt playing FE xD I just discovered your channel and I love it, I need to start playing these games again!
One of the most bizarre enemies in the series is the Berserker in Fire Emblem 3. He's just some random guy only called "Berserker"(Or more literally in japanese "Crazed Fighter") in a sword-class of the same name. No context, no explanation, never shows up in the series before or after(Yes, bro was entirely disregarded by the remake too). He also has the only Meisterschwert in the game, so that's odd aswell.
Minor comment Veyle explains the reason some corrupted are more sentient, something about fell dragons being able to make more sentient corrupted compared to the standard procedure
In mystery of the emblem’s desert chapter there’s a random enemy that appears as an unknown sword wielding class only time that unit type appears in the game
its been so long since i played three houses, i completely forgot about those demonic beasts and robot-like constructs. jesus, those things are actually creepy, especially the experiment ones that wear the mask. the golem is pretty scary too
Self-proclaimed Fire Emblem Echoes expert here! Vestals have a much higher chance of spawning in the Sage's Hamlet area, once you've already completed it. They are described specifically as Priestess who have been sacrificed to Duma, unlike Witches who are just regular women. Another possibility is that Vestals are more recently-sacrificed Witches, and that the "witch-i-fication" process takes time. Aside from the Dracul, Balor, and Titan which are all rare enemies you can only encounter if you return to previous dungeons in the late-game, I'd say the most weird enemy in the game is the Fafnir. It's a reskinned Necrodragon variant and like the second cousin twice removed cousin of the White Dragon and Dagon. It only spawns in the Thabe's Labyrinth's Grima bossfight.
The reason why Morion, Elusia's King and Lumera retain their appearance/personality is because they were made by Evil Veyle, who specifically states that fact is what sets her Corrupted apart from Sombron's
I mean, if you consider dragonsmen, Winged men, and beastmen that turn into giant versions of their associated creatures monsters, then... Fire Emblem: path of radiance and Fire Emblem: radiant dawn. Plus whatever the black knight and the two goddesses Are.(SPOILER:that supposedly "good' Goddess is certainly quite monstrous.)
My first FE game was actually Warriors on Switch. I had just gotten into the series thanks to Smash and Heroes and got Fates a little later. I was kinda confused why the first enemies you fight are four armed monsters, but I had no idea monsters were so common in the FE series.
I like the monsters. Big bad evil guys commanding an army of darkness is a classic trope and I’m all for it. Specifically the monsters though. I don’t too much care for the Risen and Corrupted. They’re mechanically just regular units with a shadowy paint job. Give me some good old rotting zombies to cut through instead.
I think the best implementation of monsters in FE is when they do interesting things. Less FE Fates spamming Faceless at you with their one predictable combat option, and more Sacred Stones' variety of creatures to fight.
I really hated we got Corrupted Alear for all of one chapter and literally they are not different at all. The next map force starts anyway, so they really couldn't have Veyle be the main character for one chapter before doing the miracle?
2:43 at least 10 or more times, is that a lot probably I don’t know but with the amount of grinding I did and how over levelled I was they usually weren’t a problem for me. Demios on the other hand were way scarier and tougher to handle. The art for them is Fire though (pun totally intended)😂 Not sure what anyone else thinks but not but having any corrupted effective weapons was annoying. There was three but being locked to emblems was a pain, especially in the late chapters when they are the only enemies you face.🤔
Lore for the corrupted maybe. I think it has to do with how long someone was corrupted like ofcourse morioh mind was already gone but he wasn't corrupted long enough for the helmet gorwth to appear
Nah, it's because of who raises them. Veyle is much better at making corrupted than Sombron, so she can naturally create corrupted who retain their personality, while Sombron can only do it after he absorbed the rings' power.
Man, I know you've already been corrected on the corrupted thing like a half dozen times, so I was gonna skip mentioning it until you made that last remark at the end - comes across as incredibly lame tbh.
8:29 Because just like every other game, they're not gonna waste time making a bunch of custom faces for generic enemies, and they're not gonna turn a plot relevant and intentionally designed character into an unrecognizable npc during a cutscene. Can you imagine Diamant's dad getting corrupted and all of a sudden his cape, crown, and facial hair magically change into a young faceless generic swordmaster class with entirely different clothes while Diamant is still in the middle of calling him father? Why would anyone want that? 😅
Its better with monsters. Which are really just the wildlife of these fantasy worlds as much as anything. They break up the monotony. add need for alternate strategies, and spruce things up. Even better are tactical games that let you have them on YOUR side....Which is no different than the use of Elephants, wardogs, and even lions and tigers as used by the Wu Xi Man (or "Nanman") in rl historical stories.
I actually will like to see more strange monster in fe not just humans or dragon like i wish a fe final boss will be atleast like a god, monster, or a lord like there reason why i like ike's game because there final bosses are pretty different then fighting a dragon
Generally Fire Emblem, while not the biggest contender for making a morally grey story, still makes a effort to make a point that war is hellish, and one of the essentials of such an approach generally requires human enemies. Monsters, on the other hand, give a guilt-free extermination against them, and morally blackens whichever side uses them. Daein may be filled with darwinian racists, but their commanders run the gamut of arrogant leaders, glory-lust warriors, weirdly principled soldiers and somewhat hesitant combatants, while the corrupted under Sombron is mostly limited to marauding about and being twisted versions of dead characters. I'm not fully against monsters in the game, but I'd rather they give a particularly different experience than fighting humans, which together with the former reason makes me somewhat dislike the Risen/Vallite/Corrupted approach. Valentian Mogals multiply, Gorgons petrify, Mauthe Dogs are myrmidons with cavalry movement, Baels are armored mountain walkers, every 3H monster is a multiple person effort and the list goes on. Although at the end I still prefer them to take a 2nd fiddle role to actually human organizations, like the terrors being mostly used as spamable troops from the different cantors, the 3H monsters being warbeasts and creations employed sparingly by the enemies, or the sacred stones monsters being more of a symptom of the world going wrong with each stone broken.
Honestly, something that would be a cool one-off entry would be if the army you fight for creates these things and the story is about the issues that come from the good guys being morally bankrupt. But sadly, FE never exactly got that brave.
The Risen from Engage is just that: Risen creatures, so while most of them are generic soldiers with identical uniforms awoken many years after they died, Hyacinth and Lumera were turned shortly after they died, so it makes sense for them to look mostly like they did when they died, as well as be able to maintain intelligence. Veyle also explains that it's her who dictates how much sentience they have, making the generic soldiers borderline suicidal with only basic intelligence as she can make a near edless supply of them, while Risen with more intact intelligence Like Lumera can use strategy and such. So the game makes it clear how it works, but i can't fault people for skipping most of the god aweful story in that game, so i can't really say it's surprising that people can get this wrong, as even the wiki and Serenes Forest doesn't really seem to care about it...

Special mention to Duma who in the original gaiden was not a dragon but more of a goop/snot monster. Conquest Garon was based on it too.
Two things:Centaurs are half man/half horse. Half bull/half men are minotaur.
Victims of War in FE8 is Chapter 6.
Thanks for pointing this out so I didn't have to.
For a bovine/human hybrid to be categorized as minotaur, it should resemble to the minotaur of the original tale, a bipedal humanoid with a bull's head and some body parts, the ones in FE are like taking that concept and mixing it with the centaur, (like lyonels from Zelda that are lion/"human" hybrid centaurs)

Can you imagine Diamant's dad getting corrupted and all of a sudden his cape, crown, and facial hair magically change into a young faceless generic swordmaster class with entirely different clothes while Diamant is still in the middle of calling him father? Why would anyone want that? 😅
Its better with monsters. Which are really just the wildlife of these fantasy worlds as much as anything. They break up the monotony. add need for alternate strategies, and spruce things up. Even better are tactical games that let you have them on YOUR side....Which is no different than the use of Elephants, wardogs, and even lions and tigers as used by the Wu Xi Man (or "Nanman") in rl historical stories.
for the record Morphs would be considered Haemonculi as opposed to undead
no goo garon or nemesis & the 10 undead elites? huh.
Fun fact: Every FE games always have or mentioned the existence of Dragon
How could you not mention that the Entombed are vegetarian zombie nobles?!
Their stats are also very funky, but I like the vegetable thing more.
I actually will like to see more strange monster in fe not just humans or dragon like i wish a fe final boss will be atleast like a god, monster, or a lord like there reason why i like ike's game because there final bosses are pretty different then fighting a dragon
Generally Fire Emblem, while not the biggest contender for making a morally grey story, still makes a effort to make a point that war is hellish, and one of the essentials of such an approach generally requires human enemies. Monsters, on the other hand, give a guilt-free extermination against them, and morally blackens whichever side uses them. Daein may be filled with darwinian racists, but their commanders run the gamut of arrogant leaders, glory-lust warriors, weirdly principled soldiers and somewhat hesitant combatants, while the corrupted under Sombron is mostly limited to marauding about and being twisted versions of dead characters.
I'm not fully against monsters in the game, but I'd rather they give a particularly different experience than fighting humans, which together with the former reason makes me somewhat dislike the Risen/Vallite/Corrupted approach. Valentian Mogals multiply, Gorgons petrify, Mauthe Dogs are myrmidons with cavalry movement, Baels are armored mountain walkers, every 3H monster is a multiple person effort and the list goes on. Although at the end I still prefer them to take a 2nd fiddle role to actually human organizations, like the terrors being mostly used as spamable troops from the different cantors, the 3H monsters being warbeasts and creations employed sparingly by the enemies, or the sacred stones monsters being more of a symptom of the world going wrong with each stone broken.
Honestly, something that would be a cool one-off entry would be if the army you fight for creates these things and the story is about the issues that come from the good guys being morally bankrupt. But sadly, FE never exactly got that brave.
The Risen from Engage is just that: Risen creatures, so while most of them are generic soldiers with identical uniforms awoken many years after they died, Hyacinth and Lumera were turned shortly after they died, so it makes sense for them to look mostly like they did when they died, as well as be able to maintain intelligence.
Veyle also explains that it's her who dictates how much sentience they have, making the generic soldiers borderline suicidal with only basic intelligence as she can make a near edless supply of them, while Risen with more intact intelligence Like Lumera can use strategy and such.
So the game makes it clear how it works, but i can't fault people for skipping most of the god aweful story in that game, so i can't really say it's surprising that people can get this wrong, as even the wiki and Serenes Forest doesn't really seem to care about it...
i know you didnt say it because it's a massive spoiler, but edelgard's hegemon husk form is honestly the most terrifying enemy in fire emblem
I hate monsters because they are hard to take down. lol
I hope the next FE adds more variety than undead goons Engage used them too much imo.
