All GBA Fire Emblem Critical Animations in 4K 60 FPS
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 май 2024
- This is my take of collecting the best critical sprites/animations of all Fire Emblem eras (at least, in my opinion), the GBA era. I upscaled the footage to 4K for future proofing and obviously at 60 FPS.
This includes every single critical animation with the only exception being the 1st tier of Sacred Stones monsters since they are exactly the same as their 2nd tier equivalents. This was a project I had a long time working on, hope you enjoy and I wish everyone of you to have a merry Christmas and a happy new year.
Thanks to Nitrodon for helping me out getting the Durandal beta animation for Lyn in FE7.

what about Frans?
All bow users: *Spin arrow*
Warrior: wouldn't it be cool to spin the bow instead
Absolutely right! Best archer in game.
Imagine if Nomad Troopers/Rangers spun the horse instead.
@@dropthepin 360° no scope
What if he just *spins?*
@@cxp36 ay i see what you did there
Spinning your weapon really does triple your damage
That is a scientific fact
It builds momentum making more force to the weapon
@@yeetman3373 Doesn't apply when you get rid of the momentum before striking your Enemy
This is one of the only things about animation that Three Houses does right. A lot of the crit animations (at least the more important ones) actually do look like they *should* do triple damage, instead of just being like “here’s the cool weapon spin to show that you crit.”
@@yuyukosaigyouji7910 see thats why mercenaries and heroes catch their sword mid air and bring it down, to keep the momentum shift of their sword, along with their bodily speed from their flip, to inflict even more decision lol
The older games had the advantage of being pixelated. It allowed these awesome animations to exist
I dunno. I've seen some amazing animations in 3D games. Just not 3D Fire Emblem.
I just think that their biggest issue with animations these days is wanting a sword to look the same between classes, rather than a sword in the hands of a thief Is a knife, the sword manifests as a pair of knives for assassins, it's a katana in the hand of a swordmaster or Lyn, or a rapier in Eli wood's hands. Give it to a General and it's a Final Fantasy style Great sword.
Different weapons lend themselves to different animations. Less flair for the class design and animations came about as a result of wanting to let a player have a custom 3D model for their sword that they forged back in PoR. So every animation had to be keyed to a single length straight sword.
@@mattgreen7692 I think they got the swords down fairly well in 3 houses though, I think it's not only the weapon that's the problem, but how animations interact with the terrain. One time I had Petra as an assassin counter attacking a general and for some reason when the animation went it showed the trail of the blade and the animation of the general being hit but Petra herself was like 30 ft away from him. Also one time felix got this critical and he was somehow turned backwards and did the animation
I loved the Tellius crits
Matt Green Jugdral did animations where swords looked different amazingly, so that can’t be it
SoV did have awesome animations as well, despite being 3D
a small detail about Hector: when using Armads, he's holding it with his left hand, but when the crit hit's it's in his _right_ hand
dude just pulled a "I am not left handed" on the dragon
1: Good eye
2: You are a person of culture
3: Holy shit that's awesome!
HELLO. MY NAME IS INIGO MONTOYA. YOU KILLED MY FATHER. PREPARE TO DIE.
HELLO. MY NAME IS HECTOR OF OSTIA. YOU DIDN'T KILL MY BROTHER. BUT PREPARE TO DIE.
HELLO MY NAME IS HECTOR OF OSTIA! I'LL BE KILLED WHEN I'M A FATHER! PREPARE TO DIE!

@@josephpapisan9491 redditor
On one hard mode run erikia died to a monster crit.
Zephiel's crit animation is the same regardless of range, so I'm convinced that it's not magic, he just swings his sword with such force that he kills Roy despite missing by about 10 feet.
It’s a shockwave, kinda like what the Ragnell and Alondite do
Yeah you can see a slight wave in the animation.
It is most definitely a wave based sword, not magic per se. The Ragnell, Alondite, Gurgurant, and the long ranged swords in Radiant Dawn all follow this same trend. Magic based swords in the GBA FE games attack with full might at close range, but hit on resistance. In long range, they hit at half your strength and on resistance (to simulate your magic stat.) Whereas the swords like Ragnell Hit with strength at full, whether close or long range, and hit on the defense of the enemy.
IT WAS A JOKE, YOU GUYS.
@@BenMarcWilliams if its any consolation, i laughed a lot
8:12 I love the way Rath pets his horse before the critical and the horse understands it
Horse is a good boi
"You're a good horse, now follow My moves"
"Yes sir"
"look at my horse my horse is amazing'
lmao "and the horse understands it"
8:12 the attention to detail, rath give his horse an order and the horse nods at him understanding hes going to perform that high attack i love the animation

@@artem8793 hi, yeah
3:53 I will never, ever get over how cool the General criticals are. A massive benemoth effortlessly spinning their equally massive and heavy weapon only to deliver all that force into a much squishier enemy, it's pure bliss.
Generals are terrifying
And the chain! I fucking love the chain.
bru when the axe is bigger than the enemies really sells the satisfaction
The chain makes it S-tier easily
And then you get sniped by a fucking lance
No Colm clones where hurt in this video
After every Volm death I was like
"damn, Colm, sucks to be you"
Only the real ones
that just means only the real one got hurt
Man I miss these animations. It made every crit the hypest shit ever.
I’d fucking throw the console in a crunk rage
It was just so, UNNNNNN!!! GET FUCKED!
@@zacharymabb4873 and then that myrmidon in 8x with a slim sword lands a crit for 0 damage
They tried to make the animations more realistic in 3ds games and it looks boring
@@sorieketon4813 In Awakening, some of them still have the same show-off vibes to them, like almost all lance classes spinning their lances before going for the yeet or the stab.
Taguel Crits also looked mighty, a full fucking bunny monster just SLAMS down on you while spindashing.
Mortal Savants in Echoes also did all kinds of funky shit.
I hope they go for even more flavor in the new Fire Emblem entry (whenever it's unveiled).
I wanna just see things disappear in the most stylish way possible when i get those percents in.
I actually do like new FE
But when I hear "Fire emblem" I'm always gonna think about the amazing GBA games first!
Yeah, that is relatable
Yep, I think it also helps that 99% of FE rom hacks use the GBA system as the basis, so that also is a major deal in the hand of GBA. Just goes to show newer ain't always better (this saying can also be applied to Pokemon games as well)
@@astralguardian5930 oh yeah. I stopped playing Pokémon after Emerald.
@@Rolanmen1 I still play Pokemon, but honestly after Gen 6 you could say it went kinda downhill.
@@astralguardian5930 Gen 5* Gen 6 is not good. Gen 7 is top 3-4

Nay, Marcus merely has lag.

It does a sonic peel out and it’s literally the coolest thing ever
The screen shake really sells the weight too
8:12 literally the best
Gotta wreck the nuts tho
Bro I remember hating Rath because I liked Lyn and they had something, like when Rath dies it's Lyn the one who talks! And I just didn't want to use him and I still hate him a little bit for no reason
Also Lyn multiplying then appearing and disappearing is better than this guy telling his hlrse to jump

Ballista frits be like: I'm gonna pull this lever, very very hard.
I've only played 3D-Fire Emblem Games, and never realized how beautiful the old ones are.
yea you are missing out on a lot. The 3d ones lack the capability of these sick anime moments :P
@@damesurina2629 it's not so much that they lack the capabilities, more like the animators didn't go ham enough to really make them great. Tho I'll concede the GBA games are more snappy due to less frames
imo the better 3D animations are from RD. Since skills weren't nearly as universal to force the same animations across the board for them, all the tier 3 class skills get fairly unique animations. Alongside this, each class had up to three unique regular attack animations and up to two different critical animations depending on whether the crit would kill or not (with the exception of magic attacks which had only two different regular attacks and melee ranged attacks that had one each for example). They also started having intro poses and victory poses in RD which add on to this. And although PoR had mostly static and stiff animations I will say that it has the better Aether and Astra animations because they made them fast which made them just as flashy as GBA animations imo. A few of these animations were even inspired by the GBA ones such as Aether being similar to the Mercenary and Hero crits (Ike throws his sword/axe up in the air before coming down with it) and RD mages forming a magic circle before attacking.
I know almost everyone recognizes the GBA animations as very flashy and they had full control over that with the flexible of 2D sprites, but I feel like people sleep on RD animations because the 3D games couldn't be as flashy and the prequel game PoR had the slowest and stiffest animations overall. If you have the time, I'd recommend watching shadowofchaos725's RD critical hit collection. There are several videos and it pretty much covers every single character (yes even Fiona and Meg so you can actually see them in action) so there will be a lot of repeats in animations, but imo it's very worth to watch.
Asholomew You could emulate them at 60 FPS. Wait, does the old 3DS run GBA games at 60 FPS?
GBA games runs at 60 fps
[13:30 - 13:50]
_I think it's the best critical animation for a boss. He charges his sword, Eckesachs, with electrical power to violently strike his enemy with just one hit or blast them with a shockwave. By the moment you saw this, you already know that you're dead._
Combine that with his build, man I'd die from shitting myself too hard before he even transforms his staff to a sword.
7:19
Brigand will always have the best crit animation to me.
When the Brigand stubs his toe and lets out all his anger on the enemy before him.
Truly a Gonzalez moment.

Still liking comments after a full year, what a legend. Btw, these crit animations are amazing.
You are breathtaking.
10:16 "I may be a holy man, but you... You specifically, fuck you"
Can we all admit that the crit animations in here are phucking epic compared to the newer FE games. I get it, realistically you can't throw a sword 30 feet to heaven and then land on your opponent but that's what I love with the style of the GBA versions they are exaggerated to be awesome.
And even then, they make sense on why the attacks make more damage, they take advantage of the momentum to give a stronger hit
And yet they are somehow still more realistic than the newer ones. I mean they only go ham on the crits, otherwise the gba games arw pretty down to earth, be it character design storylines and animations and i hate that we lost that.
The crits look cool in comparison to the normal relatively down to earth animations, thats what makes them so special. If every animation was full of bells and whistles like lets say fates, crits become meanigless
But also you shouldn't underestimate the GBA. Even though it's 160p many of it's games still hold up very well.
Why put realism in a game with dragons and magic?
LEMME DO BACKFLIP WHILE TROWING THE SWORD AT THE AIR AND THEN HIT
Agreed. At least they're (slowly) getting better with the 3D animations, although I thought the ones from 3H would be far more impressive since there was quite an improvement from Fates to Echoes (specifically the Dread Fighter crit animation).
Falcon Knights have pretty cool animations in 3H ,overall (double, swooping drill with a lance; rapid fire arrows with a flash of the sun from behind) but there's little else that immediately comes to mind. Bow Knights do have that ridiculous "360 no-scope" crit, though.

@@jefinathariwirza6578 lol , pretty much, the sacred twin weapons are too op against him.
No, the sacred twin weapons are well designed and they have triple effectiveness on all monsters. The problem is the design of final bosses. I don't think they've ever gotten that right outside of Three Houses. Fomortis needs more stats on his defenses to compensate for the triple effectiveness, making him immune to regular weapons but still killable with the Sacred weapons. They held back on some final bosses for the sole fact that, if my design strategy was implemented, then you'd be soft blocked if you had either none of the weapons left, or no one who could use the ones you do have left.
gba crit animations are so creative and varied.
then you have 80% of the fan made ones simply being the swordsmaster one but multiplied by 100.

like, just take in the rogue's sprite. the weight and flow of the animation is _so_ good and the shading is _so_ eye-catching. almost all of the 6-era animations ( rip generic soldiers ) are incredibly iconic and have strong key posing, but they rely pretty heavily on that to make up for low frame counts and sometimes stiff timing. it'd be so nice to see v2s of a lot of 'em, just to fully illustrate the improvements in the art direction across the three games
The Rogue animation will never NOT make me *_impossibly erect._*
I always loved Gonzales' scream! 7:19
The druid one is severely underrated, always been one of my favorite classes and it's entire build of like, the user overflowing with magic that it's creating magic circles under their feet that might up immensely and even move the wind around before unleashing it (Especially with Dark Magic having some of the cooler magic animations), just bliss

Elliwood's is my favorite. So elegant and precise.
Poor Colm
The Eckesachs wasn't made to kill dragons. But that's okay. *You're not a dragon*
On one timeline you are partly one :)
Nergal's crit animation will always be the coolest in the game.
I've played this game, many a time, and I have never seen his Critical until now! Very cool! In fact, I plan on playing all the GBA FE games on my RUclips channel soon enough. I have some things going on now, and have many plans and things to get ahold of, including good editing software, but I do have my GBA runs loosely planned out already.
Zephiel animation: hello
@@gamermanzeake
Your team would most likely have enough dodge (Luck + support bonuses) to prevent Nergal from getting a crit.
@@gamermanzeake We never had his crit because we were strong enough at this point in the game , same for Lyon i believe
When I first played FE:If this was the thing I missed most. These animations are works of art and I hope they inspire indies of future generations. Quality animation is challenging, but worth every frame. : )
I liked how the animations of ewan and amelia do,its like they are so disastrous,like they are really beginners
Meanwhile Ross strikes things as if they were a wood log, they are really good at characterizing with the animations tbh
You know, this is why I'm glad I grew up on this series. These animations right here.
If we ever see a remake of any of the GBA titles, I'd love to have these animations brought back in 3D.
I disagree. A lot of these animations are so ridiculously over the top that they only really work in low resolution 2D.
The Virgin Among Us Imposter Kill Compilation vs The Chad GBA Fire Emblem Crit Animation Compilation
amogus crit animations when
@@Kokokekko7 Ok, but that would actually be pretty cool.
I always liked the Recruit animation, if you actually pay close attention even the skirt matches her leg and arm movement which is a nice detail.
Anyone else caught off guard by the Brigand literally screaming? No spins, no flash, just *RAAAAARG-*
Not even a critical animation but i love that Formortiis just clocks you in the face. Fuck magic, just punch.
Now let me just say something. The SNES Fire Emblem crit animations were pretty cool as well... But those GBA ones are unmatched. Warrior' helicopter attack is so cool
I’m lucky enough to have never seen a brigands crit animation. That yell would have scarred younger me.
I remember seeing 3:07 happen just after encountering the boss who just before the battle told Ephraim he would regret challenging him. It was glorious.
6:35
Wow, way to show off with that sheild spin as well
Shield defies all gravity and logic, but shield doesn't care.
that thing does not obey the laws of physics at all
2:58 Holy shit that scared me so much (I was using headphones) asked my mother if she Heard something lmao
Some of my favorites have to be the great knights (5:16)
The way they just trust there arms behind them for the full force is unique to them
I swear I heard Roy yell "TOYAH!" when he crit Idun.
Mogal:
Look into my eye!
Wight:
Haha! I've a bone to pick with you!
Gwyllgi:
Fresh meat for lunch!
Deathgoyle:
Dodge this!
Maelduin:
Run all you want!
Bael:
Tasty breakfrast!
Gorgon:
I'll turn you to stone!
Cyclops:
Me... kill... you...!
I was going to put a cyclops in a fire emblem hack im making named grog and yep that was how he would speak
Hawkeye gets special treatment lol
Sure 3D is nice and all i can say they have some cool animations and everything
BUT MAN, the charm and creativity in these animations are just insane.
The movement feels really good to watch.
5:43 is so underrated. What a fun attack and crit animation
6:27
Raven used *AETHER*
Critical Hit!
And that's why Raven is a god damned HERO.
7:19 RAAAAAAAA gang, repost if you're a true brigand enjoyer

So is nobody gonna talk about Eliwood's Beta #2 Durandal animation is wayyy better than the final one. It's so clean, I need a rom hack that puts this bad boi back in.
Durandal is not as badass-looking in beta though
It's a nice touch that all the trainee's crits look like accidents. They caught both themselves and their enemies off guard.
All of these are great, but I am OBSESSED with the General's attacks. Though it might just be any of their attacks, not specifically their crits. The heft in their weapons, the fact they need a chain to retrieve them, it's an aesthetic that drives me wild.
