Am I Sexually Attracted to Fire Emblem Engage Weapons?

- Опубликовано: 3 июл 2024
- Fire Emblem Engage is such a gosh dang beautiful and polished looking game and I'm so happy they continued to raise the bar in 3D fire Emblem since Path of Radiance. And Yeah, I know that art direction will always be a hot topic given FE's habit of switching up the lead artist, but there are some design elements that have always been part of the aesthetic package of a Fire Emblem game but are less talked about than something as broad as "art direction". Cool stuff like choreography of animations, how things like stat menus and combat forecasts fit with the overall look of a game, sound effects and jingles and what I wanna talk about today: Weapon Icons and Models.

Killer weapons are so RAW.
Hope you all liked this week's video. This was part of Engage's gameplay assets IMO and I really wanted to make a video/go in a bit of a timeline about weapon icons and models in general. Not much else to it but I hope you like it! If you do, please don't forget to leave a like and comment with your favorite weapon icon/model. And please subscribe if you haven't yet! You can also become a channel member to help support the channel too!
Killer weapons make sure they penetrate raw - you don’t need protection to have a good time. Just strap on a Killer weapon and have all the fun you need. 🤤
What would you like to do with these weapons 🤪 ?
*Stop it, get some help*
Unfortunately, weapon ranks are not support ranks, so an S rank in swords does NOT mean you're married to your sword.
I bone swords
Is Farghast going to make a video about fishing in F.E Engage, too? I like fishing in F.E Engage!! Do you like fishing, as well, Anti-25? By the way, I'm from Hawaii.
@@johnt.phoenix9816 It would probably be best to not tell others your location for safety reasons, John
Boyfriend Dungeon would like a word with you.
Unless you’re Rex
Nobody:
Ghast: Levin Sword kinda thicc tho 👀
It's hard and bent
Well, to be fair, Engage’s Tomahawk is a fine piece of metal.
Ya know, of all the video ideas out there, this is certainly one of them.
Solid video idea, but... Uh... "interesting" wording of the title/subject matter
I thought my drink was spiked at first, honesty
Favorite design will always be the Levin sword. I just love the lightning like shape and handle.
My favorite weapon in FE series honestly the mage's building a lightning sword that can thunder from the sky is exclusive here
🤔 Wonder if you can melee with it I mean you can in smash bros but I don't think that's much context
@@Doralga i think you can but it's been a while since I used it.
Though I do wish we could get a one range magic weapon for sword axe and lance for early game as Levin sword flame lance and bolt axe are so rare to get or non existent. Like a wand for sword. Staff for lance and magic mace for axe so units like Lissa who go to war cleric can still do damage.
Plus it would make the game a lot more fun if we can make a magic weapon triangle too as engage almost does it well with armor units having such a high def but low les
How do you feel about the irl flamberge? I believe that was part of the inspiration behind the Levin sword :)
I absolutely love the aesthetic of Engage. Regardless of what you think about the game's art direction, you have to at least appreciate the game's animations, flair and unique designs for the weapons. Stuff like the characters fading in and performing an idle animation in the battle prep menu, the battle forecast animations, and the amazing animations and dynamic camera angles really outweigh the negatives. Engage has definitely set a new standard for these and I hope the next FE game carries these traits and pushes them further
That is a clear given. Engage is one of the most colorful and artistically beautiful fire emblem games of all time. I just have issues with everything else like the art direction but I hope the next fire emblem game can keep the positives of all the previous Fire emblem games
@@eternaldarklight8204 yeah I partly agree with the art direction. It's fine for one game but I won't be missing it
@@kueyteow6288 In my opinion the character designs are the only flop in Engage`s graphical peaks because so many characters are overly designed and have a multitude of colors that clash with their outfits. While i have reserved my thoughts on the characterization and story for another video. I hope that the next game has the gameplay of engage, the story of three houses and the character designs of echoes and tellius games as these were so great points in each game for me.
But what is your favorite weapon in Fire Emblem? Mine is Gradivus because its like the perfect weapon for Knights like Zeke, Percival, Jeralt and more as it makes them feel much cooler and stoic than they already are.
@@eternaldarklight8204 Sword of the Creator. I mean, it's a sword, and a whip, that's badass as hell
I was wondering why i felt so drawn to the Engage style of weapon design and now i know 😂
They got very intricate with the sprite work >>>>
I remember feeling so weirded out by the boring icons in Fates after playing Awakening way back when it first came out. Especially considering the actual weapon models are generally really cool. I had no idea what most of the S rank weapons looked like for such a long time simply because I never bothered to train certain characters/classes up to be able to use them lol.
But yeah, Engage absolutely nailed it in the combat direction. Easily some of the most fun combat to watch in the series, the weapons of course playing a big part.
Would a FE weapons Smash of Pass be a possibility?
I'd watch, there are so many!
Oh god Engage’s weapons. Skallagrim or Shadiversity would have a field day with them.
FE and Shad, I would die
Skallagrim did commission a slightly custom made version of Awakening's Armorslayer, so there's that, plus not all of them look totally impractical, the iron and steel ones do look like they could be used IRL.
The best animations i've found are the fists, especially when u get a long chain of uninterrupted hits (initiate, break defense, double, divine speed). The fluidity of hit after hit after hit feels so good to watch!
I definitely like the pre battle screen so much , It always got me excited to see the battle turn out right after I press A. It was my favorite part when I first saw the trailer
Well, he’s lost it folks! Time to grab your killer weapons and hopefully proc a crit for a quick demise!
They do legitimately have phenomenal designs, easily the game with my most favorite weapons out of the series
I can feel your love for fire emblem.
Shirou Emiya is the person who can most relate to being romantically attracted to sworfs
I never really paid attention to the sprite art of weapons in general, but you've taught me to appreciate it. I love the amount of detail and effort that went into something that could've been overlooked, but they still did it anyways.
Also, how the hell did Jade hit that 27%!?
The same way the enemy can hit an 11% hit lol
Because Fire Emblem
In one of my training sessions in the arena, Madeline was able to beat Diamont by landing two 27% hit attacks with the S rank Smash axe.
Lmao what.
I mean, FE weapons do look cool but w h a t.
Edit: For those interested, Fates has a mod to add weapon/item icons into the game, which is a must use IMO because it slaps so damn hard.
As someone who vocally doesn’t like that many things about Engage, the weapon design certainly is cool
The fact that the title -is- was grammatically incorrect just adds to it all
I literally did not notice this until now LMAO
@@Faerghast time to edit my own comment as well now loool
Faer did not wake up today down bad, he woke up down worse.
Engage weapon I like the most has to be either Liberation or Wo Dao. One looks like a fantasy weapon that I could still see in our world as a funtional weapon if you asked Man at Arms to make it. The other is basically a katana and katanas are just so cool with the myths and legends associated with either them or the warriors who wielded them, the samurai. Fittingly enough, the first Wo Dao we get is in the inventory of Kagetsu, who is basically a samurai.
Berserker Lindon doesn't exist, he can't hurt you.
Berserker Lindon: 5:20
I love that individual weapon icons are back, after being absent in Fates and 3H.
What is all of you guy`s favorite weapons in Fire emblem. Mine is a tie between the Gradivus and Fates`s/Three Houses`s Killing Edge. I love the Gradivus because it feels like the perfect weapon for duty bound knights or heroic characters like Zeke, Percival and Jeralt. I also love the Killing Edge because the curved look it has in Houses is very elegant while the fate`s serrated look with the sharp teeth looks fierce and badass
While I'm the type of person to look up "all weapons in x game" on the wiki just to look how they look in each title, I've never thought of a favourite, I just love swords in general
If I were to choose maybe the Sword of the Creator or the Ragnell, maybe Arheadbar for lances
@@Fermin-hw5pd You have great taste. Those are some fantastic choices. I just love the sword of the creator because a sword that turns into a whip is so cool and rarely done in other games.
@@eternaldarklight8204 Most swords in fiction throw projectiles when attacking from far away, the Binding Blade or the Ragnell, without leaving the franchise for example, but not the SotC, that crap is a extensible sword, even the lore of the thing is cool, messed up but cool
I've always liked Hauteclere. The length of the pole just feels like it adds more weight to the attack. Plus it looks fancy and I'm kind of a polearm nerd so yeah. Axe plus long pole basically makes a glaive with more impact that can cleave through armor. It's both practical (as far as FE legendary weapons allow) and fancy.
@@samvanderstaak7296 that is understandable. If you like polearms, you should try fire emblem radiant dawn as polearms are an actual weapon for axe users and it’s really great to experiment with all the new sub weapons like great lances and blades in that game
Fe kingdom hearts tales of series ff. I love when we can special or personalized weapons that are a reflection of the characters journey as much as their fighting style. It's a whole story in of itself
Faerghast decided to be Emiya Shirou today
I don't think I see many people talking the weapon icons, cool video
The biggest problem I have with engage is that there are no critical cut ins, those were my favorite parts of awakening-echoes, and I loved them a lot in 3H
I do love anime and video game swords. Mainly the Keyblade and the Monado.
The Monado is really cool I gotta say
Yeah same, I'm fonder of simple looking ones, some are overly decorated which kinda misses the point of it being a weapon xd
@@TARDISES The original one, most likely, are there that many Monados?
@@TARDISES Could you explain something? Future Redeemed kinda spoiler
Why people say Noah's sword has the Pneuma core crystal on it? I get that Matthew's fist were created by Nia or Pneuma or whoever years before, but what about Noah's?
@@TARDISES Okay, then I don't see why people say that, I swear I've seen multiple people saying it, Origin metal and a core crystal are not the same thing at all
Yeah I'd smooch a silver sword
I remember part of what made me like Soren so much initially was seeing the wind spell animations as a wee lad. They looked so cool.
This video certainly has the title of all time.
This really makes me wish the Raijinto was in Engage.. it's my favourite unique weapon and I'd love to see an Engage-style sprite and model for it
Faerghast mentioning the changing animation of pre-battle weapon choosing screen and for me personally it's so immersion killing seeing characters swap 5 different weapons in the speed of light, but it looks dope 😁
Sword of the Creator to me will always be one of the sickest sword designs
Seeing Byleth using it as a whip (in both scenes and gameplay) is so cool, with the chain noises it makes and all that
Weirdly enough, there is a weapon used by ancient Indian soldiers that is essentially a whip sword.
WPS (Weapon Protective Services): "Alright, Levin Sword. Tell me where he touched you."
Levin Sword: *points to the hilt.*
WPS: "My God....."
2:53 shoutout to the Super Metroid Varia Suit upgrade icon on the bottom left :D
Titles I Didn't Think Would be in My Subscriptions List:
Happy Early Pride Month! Love is love!!!
Does Chloe count as a weapon? Lol
one of the videos of all time
This is the thumbnail and title of all time
You know that episode of South Park where Randy is "Enjoying" watching Chefs cook food? I like to imagine that's how Ghast is with Fire Emblem Engage's weapons 🤣
I do want to at least see a short about the different reactions for the battle forecasts with they react to effective weapons, or how it changes based on how much HP they have.
Engage has such cool models of weapons and even the aesthetic of places is well developed and polished, which sadly contrasts even more with the art direction of the characters specially Alear, I really like lots of creative directions of this game but sadly for engage character design is one of the most important for me.
I hope the other quality improvements they made could stay in the next gamesm
Best title I've ever seen on any entertainment platform
I like a lot of the weapon designs in Engage but honestly the Long bow is probably my favourite, there’s just something so refined and modern about especially with the Pulleys on it.
S rank and killer weapon designs are also really good.
As for other games shout out to the Echoes with the Killer Bow, Falchion and the Valentian Relics(Even though I could never get them those dam drop rates
😂😭)
Also not sure if anyone noticed it but in the first warriors game (despite everybody not liking it which I can understand) Sol Katti actually got a good design based on its original sprite from the GBA unlike the weird design Awakening gave it😂
I'm a sucker for simplicity. I really like how elegant the base swords look, as well as the heavy blades, iron axe, hammer, Ike's hammer, the spear is _amazing,_ steel and silver lances look great, all the base daggers look really good, Ragnell. As far as the more fantastical designs go, I love Leif's killer axe, Urvan, the free xenologue weapons, the feh sword, most of the hero's relics, and Veyle's dagger.
This video title hit me like a train
I was engaged really in the video that I completely glossed over the vid title
Can you show us how you made that Lindon build?
Whoever in GBA era Fire Emblem Development decided to make S Rank Magic effectively a non-skippable cutscene, you have my endless support and may both sides of your pillow be nice and chilled
A, a true pansexual. Men, women, non-binary, weapons.
I KNEW IT!
As a Canadian, what Canadian isn't I to axes? They call it wood for a reason
I'm gonna be honest, before the final DLC for Engage dropped, I suddenly stopped playing the game.
Now seeing this appreciation for the Weapons and remembering some of the fun times I had, I'm going to pick it up again and finally play the DLC! (I gotta go with M!Alear this time since he sounds AMAZING!!)
Interesting title to say weapons in engage look very good
Fire Emblem has so many units and weapons it's a wonder there isn't a trading card game or it's it even localized.
There is a card game, actually! Not sure if that was meant to be sarcasm, but Fire Emblem Cipher had a run of around 5 years, ending during 2020. It’s super cool and I encourage anyone to look into it.
@benjaminkowalski2467 Why didn't get as popular as the Pokémon card game?
@Beyond the Bat The creators didn't think it would have the appeal across the world as the Pokémon card game did, so they kept it in Japan until it ended in 2020.
@johnathanedwards9054 This is from the same company that gave FE the same roster size as Mario and Pokémon back in Smash Ultimate.
@@UnrealNeoBat Fire Emblem may be one of Nintendo's most profitable franchises, but it doesn't have as much of an appeal as Pokémon or Super Mario in international markets since it has a much smaller fanbase compared to some other Nintendo staples.
I didn't realise how much i cared about weapon sprites until I watched this video. Generally, I don't like reading to make a decision and more often than not go with my gut feeling. Doesn't really make sense why, but despite that FE is my favourite game series. I dropped Fates because I found it too confusing and I kept making stupid mistakes, 90% of the time it's to do with having the wrong weapon equipped and with me being unfamiliar with Fates' weapon system, it resulted in an embarrassing amount of resets. Now I realise that it's because I've gotten into the habit of 'reading' the sprite.
I bought a switch near Engage's release, played it as my first switch FE, I thought comparatively it was piss easy (maybe due to Panette's 100% crit rate lol). And I'm playing 3H now, and I'm making similar mistakes to before, but it's far less punishing in 3H.
Not the biggest fan of the less grounded design philosophy for the weapons in _Engage,_ but you'll never hear me complaining about the amount of detail on them, nor about having complex and unique inventory icons.
Ah, what a title.
Me too, me too.
I bet people aleeady relised this, but ”ukonvasara” is finnish for ”old man’s hammer” which is hilarious in my opinion
Fates having generic icons was a travesty💔 we have mods for that at least
AYO??? 🤨📸
Can’t wait to figure out what Ghast is cooking up this time
I read the title and ngl i thought like "Damn not the Armads up the ass" 😭
Everytime i see the Gae Bolg 😢😢😢😢
@Title See what happens if you don't give Ghast a good story to analyze? Look what you did, Engage.
The Engage mode weapons are beautiful but I find that the sci-fi style doesn't fit the Heroes' Relics at all, as they were made of gnarly alien bone, pulsing and almost alive-looking
Fire Emblem Engage made every 3D printer cry. And then die. Cosplay season is gonna be WILD.
Because the weapons look better than the characters
I... What????????
Over 3 times the detail
lancereaver 🤤
Lmao wtf is this title
Hi am i alone to think that fire embleme engage might be the Anankos Dream ? Because i feel the game have exactly the same begining and end of fire embleme revelation . Even certains character look the same. And I fear the xenologue is the Dream of someone else like one of Nyx's child.
I mean it's called engage, no wonder
Is the video title supposed to be "sexually attracted to..." or "sexually attractive" ?
FINALLY SOMEONE I CAN AGREE WITH I TOO NEED A SWORD TO BE MY BF
You should see how people get about Xenoblade weapons... I hear they turn into waifus
Those weapons are lucky that a guy as gorgeous as you are after them! They better put a ring on you, though!
Are you drinking again John?
Battle animations peaked at Fates. Each one of them is beautiful and/or funny. I like 3H's animations but they didn't feel that good imo
Now if only they could've made the story of Engage more interesting, then it would have been top tier
they kinda missed the mark with fe3hs but with how big the game was i kinda get it.
Engage's art direction and design is gorgeous. People saying it's too "anime" are just scared of change. This game has set a new quality standard for the franchise, and whatever story and tone they decide to set for the next installment, I am expecting for the art to match this quality.
Nice strawman as usual.
I know a lot of people have issues with the character design, story and general writing of Engage.
However, can we please, for the love of god, keep like...everything else from Engage going forward with this series!?
The game looks fantastic, it has so much colour and looks surprisingly smooth all around.
The gameplay is some of, if not the best in the series.
Animations are finally close to the glory of the GBA games.
The soundtrack, at least for me, is near perfect, though this is the most subjective thing.
Please don't completely redo everything for the next game and try something different again. This is basically perfection to build off of.
Sorry man, but your best hope is that the community manages to makes some good hacks with Engage's engine. Since the game flopped compared to 3H, expect to see all of the stuff that you loved about Engage get dropped in the sequel
I'm already predicting that the next non remake game has multiple routes that just end up sharing 90% of their maps anyway
Not gonna lie these weapons look like terraria weapons
While I like a lot of Engages weapons, I admittedly don't like how the heroes relics look in the game. Mostly due to them being...Corpses basically, they just look a bit too mechanical for my liking. Still great designs all around though, especially all the S rank weapons
Girl what 😐
Wut
The only thing i found jaring with Engage, was being so used to the heros relics in my 2000 hours of playing Three houses, where they looked exactly like what they were: Weapons forged out of ancient bones. But then in Engage, they look like they are made out of pure crystal instead.
So even if i like the designs in Engage a lot, simply because they use a uniform style for all the special hero weapons throughout the series for a consistent style unique to Engae, it does feel like the weapons lose a bit of their original identity when mashed into the same mold that every other special weapon fits... The same is true for other legendary series weapons like Falchion and Ragnell, where the shape is pretty consistent, but the color, texture and shiny look is so different, that it's hard to view them as the same weapons.
Wut?
Y’know what’s crazy is I actually don’t like a lot of the weapon designs in engage. Some of the engage weapons like Ragnell, Yato, the relics, Awakening Falchion all lost how they looked old/used, which is how they were supposed to look on account of the fact that they are borderline ancient weapons. And unfortunately the times and staves are so shiny I can’t really see the details in them very much at all. I feel like the killer weapons are overdone on their designs in the sense that they’re supposed to be particularly good at killing i.e. but instead they just kinda look like edgier versions of their steel counterparts.
I feel like what fire emblem gets right with the simpler weapon designs is that you can tell the swords are made of different stuff based on how the business end of the weapon presents itself. In a game where you can just use engraves and refines to add mt, crit, etc. to any weapon, if a weapon wants to stand out as being anything in particular, it has too look more than just extra shiny or extra detailed; it has to look like the dangerous part itself is literally more dangerous than the other weapons around it, not just more red or with a more jagged detailing.
first
Another video reminding us that, despite being 80% cringe, Engage has a lot of heart.
Man 100% yes to this video
I just realized... whenever someone talks about Engage, i have to go to the comment section and diss the game. It's... annoying! But why do i do that? I think there are many reasons, but the biggest would be that i WANT to love the game, because i love the gameplay, but i can't because of almost everything else. Maybe it's just that contrast. The game is so good yet so bad at the same time. This conflict invokes so intense emotions that i have to get them out there. From now on however, i'll try to tone it down, i promise
I personally do not like Engages weapon designs. Iron, steel, and silver swords lances and bows aren’t too bad. But considering how FE is very medieval and fantasy based the weapons should have a generally believable design. The axes of engage and Killing weapons are what I find to be the most weird and ugly looking weapons. Simply not a fan.
This sense of realistic (non-relic) weapon designs is something I really liked about Three Houses. For instance, some effective weaponry looked like they could realistically be actually effective against that unit type, such as the ridersbane and the armorslayer which looks similar to an estoc, a long pointy sword designed to pierce through the gaps in plate armor and thus the closest thing to a historical equivalent of an armorslayer sword.
@@samvanderstaak7296fully agree my friend. Three houses weapons (except the relic weapons) are all well designed and believable. The Rapier in that game is a straight Fencing sword and it’s fantastic.
Disclaimer: THIS IS JUST A JOKE!
When the game is so boring that you have to talk about the weapon design:
Classic rapier is my favorite, a very good to be dealing with troublesome cavalry and armor knights.
