i saw the thumbnail, and clicked on another video before my brain registered what it was seeing. i immediately doubled back and clicked on this video when my brain caught up.
Full warrior should be easy since that class rocks, fun fact, if you promote Celine as early as possible then change her classes to warrior, she actually has nearly the same stats as an early promote warrior boucheron!
It's really funny to be saying this about a video mostly presented in still images, but this is incredibly well put together! The presentation is clean, your narration is nice to listen to, and your script doesn't waste any time. Gold standard challenge run content!
Before watching the video: I haven't touched Engage in ages (not because I hate it or anything, just been focused on other stuff, including other FEs) and I totally forgot the male Sage design looked like that... this has to be the thirstiest iteration of it in the series, lol. Anyway, I love this idea for a challenge run, I've been considering a mono-class run in Fates myself (though I doubt I'd do Sage's equivalent class Onmyoji there, it doesn't have great stats and the design doesn't really catch my eye). Looking forward to how the run pans out! Edit after watching the video: Great run! It's really nice to see how the Emblems and skill inheritance let you make distinct builds despite limiting yourself to a single class, and it was an enjoyable watch overall. I haven't cleared the game on Maddening yet myself, let alone with a restriction like this, and I was impressed!
If you're okay giving up staff access, there's always the possibility of a Conquest Sorceror solo run, that class outfit is pretty interesting as well. Also, Fates mono class runs are even cooler to plan out because you actually have to pair units in certain ways for class access, so that sounds like an awesome run to me!
Wow, so that's how the fishing minigame works! Turns out, i had the right idea with fishing up chromatic trout for bond fragments, but now I know how to do it more efficiently. Great video also!
I did something similar with the warrior class, because half of their upper body is just... not clothed at all xD Like, Engage really excelled at making the characters look really good. I am also currently playing through Three House with only grapplers for legitimately the same reason :D.
I don't know what's my favorite thing about this video - My boy Clanne getting to shine so much, the shared love for Fogado (he also got my pact ring), the sight of Mauvier making me realize something about myself, or Ivy respectfully declining the ab-intimidation approach at 25:36. Also, I'm imagining Etie in the background wondering why Alear is so intent on seeing people's abs but continues to bench her :v
Congrats you have convinced me to use sage Fogado for my next run of Engage. You made it look fun and it's a build I never would've consider but this wouldn't be the first time that I had a blast using something unorthodox. Looking at you sniper Citrinne.
I was never a FE fan but this is what I need to get invested! Also love the whole video I had no clue what was going on but your commentary was very enjoyable to have on the background!! (I have watch this 3 times already, also Mauvier is my personal fav)
I'm waiting for the Sniper only run, or the War/Wonder Woman run where you use only female units and it's just Swordmasters, Berserkers and Halberdiers
corrupted wyrms are prime targets for the fracture staff, which i ended up barely ever using, but it's a lot more convenient when you have an entire army of staff flunkies to work with.
I tried doing this challenge a few months ago but with only female sages, but also kept the characters with pref tome classes so celine, ivy, hortensia, veyle and zelestia. I might do another playthrough but with only either the sniper class or halberdier class.
As a bisexual myself i would be curious to see two people do two challenge runs like this simultaneously, maybe in a race format. Like "fe engage: all male sages vs all female sages" You could even change what class youre using. If you wanted to.
Wow some of these map clears are extremely impressive, I didn’t think this would be so hard BUT anything can be overcome with good strategy! I also didn’t factor in how bad most male units in this game are magically lol, but this was so fun to see ❤
Cool video. I haven't gotten around to beating Engage yet because I've been attempting my own challenge runs in fe6 & fe7 but keep failing. I'm too stubborn to give up bc I've been making progress every attempt. Also the convenience of being able to play fe6 & fe7 on my phone is awesome.
i realise this defeats the magic aspect of this run, but a Sage/Warrior run would allow the physical units to perform a bit more consistently whilst still being slutty men
BASED FOGADO ENJOYER!!! Too bad we're just ALLIES and nothing more :') For real though, what a fun idea for a run. The Sage outfit absolutely slays. Now I'm wondering if other classes have as (mostly) easy of a time as Sage did.
So much fun!! Thanks I tried an only magic run on path of radiance. Even if I managed to defeat chapter 4 ( with difficulty) and 5 easily, the chapter 6 is impossible...
This is the first FE where u really have a ton of romance options for the male MC u can basically marry any of the cute male characters! made me love this game more. even tho three houses still has my heart as the all time fav
I wanted to use Zelkov! I think his pose combined with the Sage fit makes him look really great. It's just he joins after the whole team can be reclassed, and he would take forever to get to LV21 with just the Arena.
No I was pretty sure they all had the ridiculous thigh window. Like both the slit on the right leg, and this crazy strap moment on the back of the left leg. You should look into it more, for research purposes.
There's the very specific fantasy of engaging in powerful magicks in combat while also dressing in very revealing clothing that we love to see in gaming ❤
Awhile ago I had this exact idea but instead of just men all units are sages !!! But towards the solm arc i got stressed tf out because I kept running out of second seals and bond fragments to get proficiencies 😭
I actually did consider Rafal, especially since he doesn't need a Master Seal at LV21, but I didn't really want to give him the necessarily level. That's 10 Arena uses that could go to someone like Amber!
Boy midriff
Boy midriff😩😳
Good post
nod nod
Sai from Naruto too
"Two of my favourite features in Fire Emblem have always been magic and attractive male characters"
Me too brother, me too 🤝
I’ve never felt more seen
same
Same here, thought I was the only one~
Saaaaaammmmeeeeee 😂
Sayme
I love how Lindon, the canonical male sage of the game, didn’t even get recruited cuz he didn’t have a midriff 😭
Tbf who would want to see an old man looking like that- ain't nobody wanna see a slu77y old man.
(Except for a few thirsty mfers somewhere-)
Didn't adhere to dress code
"Our new cute recruits, and Bunet" 😭
I thought this run would make me like him more. Sadly I was wrong.
@@queenlyarts the only thing capable of making people like Bunet is his JP voice
@@leilahbrenda And DLC Fogado. Cannibalism makes Bunet more interesting than being Bunet.
Damn Bunet is such a bad unit, that he can't even quench this challenge runners thirst, and he's suppose to be a great chef smh.
@leilahbrenda hes my favourite engage char. He may suck as a unit, but he's a cool character at least😭
We’re Engaging in homosexuality and i couldn’t be happier
Beautifully put
There's a reason the word gay also means happy!
I'm so glad that i'm not the only one loving that sage outfit, the devs really said "let's make the male units slutty for once" lol
Mauvier in “not my type”
How dare you. Midriff from the middle aged is the greatest of treats.
Rosado absolutely EATS in the sage outfit
He eats in any outfit he's in tho, specially Wolf Knight and Sniper imo
Fun Fact : Rosado uses the Female Character Model according to in-game files.
Funner fact: because he uses a normally female model, he apparently has a negative bust modifier so he doesn't have breasts
Unit reviews:
1:52 - Clanne - starts in mage
3:28 - Gregory - uniquely hot Sage outfit
3:59 - Alear - funny hair
5:45 - Alfred - absolute cutie
5:58 - Diamant - absolute hottie
9:57 - Boucheron - abs
11:10 - Alcryst - on-theme as a ranged attacker
11:20 - Amber - funny
Mauvier is my type exactly lol
Wait...can Zelkov Not become a Sage?
@ I think if you reclass him at base he becomes a mage, you’d have to train him until level 21 to reclass to a promoted class
finally, good fire emblem content on youtube
i saw the thumbnail, and clicked on another video before my brain registered what it was seeing. i immediately doubled back and clicked on this video when my brain caught up.
As a bi girl, this has inspired me to do the exact opposite over the holiday season: all female Warriors/Berserkers/Heroes
Love that
True equilibrium
Full warrior should be easy since that class rocks, fun fact, if you promote Celine as early as possible then change her classes to warrior, she actually has nearly the same stats as an early promote warrior boucheron!
my gay girl self needs to do this as well. excellent idea.
Pfft that "uh sorry honey you have to be brave me for me" got me Chuckling
As someone who also appreciates Mages and Cute Guys - I full respect this hustle. Making your dreams reality.

@queenlyarts Glad you think so! Sorc isn't a bad idea, I appreciate the suggestion!
Brilliant content. Any doubts I had about this game’s art style are wiped away with the choice to include this incredible costume ahaha
You made this work with screenshots only and not a capture card, respect. Great vid!
thumbnail and pinned comment instantly got me to subscribe this content is clearly up my alley
Wow, so that's how the fishing minigame works! Turns out, i had the right idea with fishing up chromatic trout for bond fragments, but now I know how to do it more efficiently. Great video also!
Thanks! I'm glad I was able to bless/curse you with this knowledge.
PEAK HAS ARRIVED!
Waiter! More man midriffs in Fire Emblem please!
These outfits are purely functionnal...I swear !! 🥵
I did something similar with the warrior class, because half of their upper body is just... not clothed at all xD Like, Engage really excelled at making the characters look really good. I am also currently playing through Three House with only grapplers for legitimately the same reason :D.
This is an incredible run! Always wanted to see everyone in that outfit anyway lol
From concept to execution, this run was beautiful (in more ways than one)! Def earned a new sub and I look forward to seeing what else you cook up!
Why does everyone look so GOOD in sage outfits?! Like, YAS DIVA YOU SLAY!!! ❤️💅🏻✨️
You are so real for this video!! Respect. I, too, love fire emblem baddies.
Found your channel through the sync marathon and the content you put out is aomething i know ill enjoy
I don't know what's my favorite thing about this video - My boy Clanne getting to shine so much, the shared love for Fogado (he also got my pact ring), the sight of Mauvier making me realize something about myself, or Ivy respectfully declining the ab-intimidation approach at 25:36.

You are *the* diva for this
Your knowledge and application on Emblems and skills are insane!!! Deserve 1 million views ❤❤
Magic and Men my two favourite things
✨💙✨
Thanks youtube for recommending me this based video. I'll be staying here for the good content
Congrats you have convinced me to use sage Fogado for my next run of Engage. You made it look fun and it's a build I never would've consider but this wouldn't be the first time that I had a blast using something unorthodox. Looking at you sniper Citrinne.
Finally some good freaking FE content. Keep it up!
I was never a FE fan but this is what I need to get invested! Also love the whole video I had no clue what was going on but your commentary was very enjoyable to have on the background!! (I have watch this 3 times already, also Mauvier is my personal fav)
Now we gotta see a warrior version. Those low waisted pants are...i shant say
Kind of a missed opportunity not naming Alear "Magic Mike" for the run 😅
Now this is the type of run we needed 👏🏻
I'm waiting for the Sniper only run, or the War/Wonder Woman run where you use only female units and it's just Swordmasters, Berserkers and Halberdiers
I was thinking thing this but you can cheat a bit and use Things like Levin Swords and Flame Lances for those that are less physically inclined
Makes me feel better about using 3 to 4 sages on regular runs lol
OMG Im so happy i found your channel! Inmediately subscribed
This is chef’s kiss. Mwah. I’m going to savor this play by play and see what all the boys look like with their midriffs out!
RUclips algorithm knows me too well.
corrupted wyrms are prime targets for the fracture staff, which i ended up barely ever using, but it's a lot more convenient when you have an entire army of staff flunkies to work with.
incredible way to gain a new subscriber, absolute peak
massive respect for the premise alone
I'm more of a "Zelestia breaks the chest dimensions of every class" enjoyer, but this is still really facinating!
I tried doing this challenge a few months ago but with only female sages, but also kept the characters with pref tome classes so celine, ivy, hortensia, veyle and zelestia. I might do another playthrough but with only either the sniper class or halberdier class.
Nice! Snipers-only sounds like a really cool run.
Every male Sage except thee male Sage himself Lindon? I see how it is
This is peak challenge-running
I've always wanted a sage only run, but this is even better!
As a bisexual myself i would be curious to see two people do two challenge runs like this simultaneously, maybe in a race format. Like "fe engage: all male sages vs all female sages"
You could even change what class youre using. If you wanted to.
clanne needs a shirt, the pickle is COLD
Gregory's pros "uniquely hot sage costume" is SOOOOO TRUE
Might need to try this for myself, looks like a lot of fun
my man mauvierrrrrr
I'm all fine with Fogado getting a pact ring, I just have others who I want to give to me, specifically Boucheron, Diamant and Mauvier
I honestly didn't think this would be such an informative video. I'm still very new to Engage, so I love this kind of content.
Rip Vander though
So sad that they dont have any cute boys with a soft tummy folks, folks we love boys but we especially love softer boys that are warm folks.
oh ABSOLUTELY we love to see taste
Wow some of these map clears are extremely impressive, I didn’t think this would be so hard BUT anything can be overcome with good strategy! I also didn’t factor in how bad most male units in this game are magically lol, but this was so fun to see ❤
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SINCE THE CLANNE IKE TANK VIDEO OMGGGGGG
Alear rrally had a bass pro fishing arc huh
Move, I just found a new way to play engage! Also, divorcing Diamant for Mauvier in that outfit!
Cool video. I haven't gotten around to beating Engage yet because I've been attempting my own challenge runs in fe6 & fe7 but keep failing. I'm too stubborn to give up bc I've been making progress every attempt.
Also the convenience of being able to play fe6 & fe7 on my phone is awesome.
Truly, playing the way God intended
1:01:28 That Alfred revisionism XD
I LOVE MEN
y'know i suddenly have a reason to replay engage
me with my harem of male warrior class.
Boucheron and Mauvier my beloved >
“We intimidated him with the power of friendship, and the power of our midriffs” is probably my favorite line in this video
And subscribed! I loved this challenge and I want to give it try!
i realise this defeats the magic aspect of this run, but a Sage/Warrior run would allow the physical units to perform a bit more consistently whilst still being slutty men
BASED FOGADO ENJOYER!!! Too bad we're just ALLIES and nothing more :')
For real though, what a fun idea for a run. The Sage outfit absolutely slays. Now I'm wondering if other classes have as (mostly) easy of a time as Sage did.
Drooling at Gregory, thank you
So much fun!! Thanks
I tried an only magic run on path of radiance. Even if I managed to defeat chapter 4 ( with difficulty) and 5 easily, the chapter 6 is impossible...
This is the first FE where u really have a ton of romance options for the male MC u can basically marry any of the cute male characters! made me love this game more. even tho three houses still has my heart as the all time fav
I really didn't care for a lot of the boys in this game as characters, but they are almost all some high quality eye candy, so I approve of this run!
Cool to see Clanne as MVP most of the chapters. Love that character 💚, him and Pandreo. ❤
I've never played Engage and am now losing my mind over this thumbnail
Where did Zelkov, Louis, and Vander go? I mean Vander could've stayed home fine, but Zelkov?? And my husband, Louis??
I wanted to use Zelkov! I think his pose combined with the Sage fit makes him look really great. It's just he joins after the whole team can be reclassed, and he would take forever to get to LV21 with just the Arena.
i did something similar with the females. jade is a surprisingly great sage ^^
I really thought Diamant's outfit had thigh windows but its just the color the of the fabric 😂😂
No I was pretty sure they all had the ridiculous thigh window. Like both the slit on the right leg, and this crazy strap moment on the back of the left leg. You should look into it more, for research purposes.
Oooh boys❤
Great run
Maddening give me so much anxiety 😂 I could never do this
Queenly Arts let's get you an elgato. You make some of the best FE content on the platform.
There's the very specific fantasy of engaging in powerful magicks in combat while also dressing in very revealing clothing that we love to see in gaming ❤
Me, the whole video:
Oh, yum
A male focused run all about their ABS? Sign me UP
Edit: Fogado best man, always
We need all warrior run
Awhile ago I had this exact idea but instead of just men all units are sages !!! But towards the solm arc i got stressed tf out because I kept running out of second seals and bond fragments to get proficiencies 😭
I think we need a run now to give all the Girls a chance to shine,
'cute boys' and you didn't use rafal bruhhhh
I actually did consider Rafal, especially since he doesn't need a Master Seal at LV21, but I didn't really want to give him the necessarily level. That's 10 Arena uses that could go to someone like Amber!
Zesty emblem 💅
No Lindon?
Ig he's too old to qualify as a boy anymore 😂
Which makes me wonder, what game would work better for an "old man yaoi run" now...
I will admit, if given a choice to have an army of male mages to play with, i will do everything to have them....i must buy this game now
