Definitely gonna be a blast to watch ^^ Jokes aside tho, I hope you enjoys engage as much as I do. This serie is made with love and it shows. Nice video and I wish you to keep doing what you love
You didn't talk about what could actually be my favorite Fire Emblem game, but very easy top 5 at least... Fire Emblem Cipher. No joke, masterpiece tier. Craps on Heroes for sure.
I think Echoes wins in Animations for me, but for some unknown reason they only managed the quality *one* time with 3D fire emblem, and it didn't translate over to three houses AT ALL.
@@mariocruno3772 I'd argue it's just the animations in general, if you look at Alm's combat animations there's some ridiculous amount of personality and style there we don't get very often. And even the villager animations are insanely snappy, response, and don't drag on, especially when it comes to dodging and riposting *that shit is smooth as butter* 👌
this makes me excited to play echoes since I’ve only done 3 houses Edit: since this comment I’ve completed Awakening, Genealogy, and Conquest. I’m almost done with Birthright. Gonna do Revelations, then finally will do Echoes. New Update: I’ve completed Three Houses, Awakening, Genealogy, All of Fates (I did Conquest twice), and Echoes. Not sure which I’ll do next. New New Update: I’ve completed Three Houses, Awakening, all of Fates, Echoes, Engage, Genealogy of the Holy War, Mystery of the Emblem, Shadow Dragon, and Thracia 776.
Echoes is absolutely one of the best if not THE best Fire emblem game, and it's my favorite still and I don't think I'll ever feel differently! I hope you have a great time with the game whenever you get around to playing it 🙏
Pros: Beautiful art design, One of the best games story wise in the series, has some fun dungeon exploring, has skill systems that are bound to the equipment you find in the game, lets you play at your own pace. Cons: Map design is awful, enemies love spamming you with the same unit type, Celicas route gives you very limited unit types making it much more tedious than necessary, Dungeons can be a nightmare to navigate, almost all characters have poor res growth so mages will constantly be annoying to everything except Mathilda and Dread fighters, SO MUCH SWAMP, summoners can keep swarming you with enemy units that give little xp, food and fatigue is pointless and tedious, You won't use half of your roster late game and the one enemy you want to kill all game has a weird mechanic making it difficult to do. But thats probably all worth seeing Delthea's snaggle tooth when she crits.
@@smallsoul2374 Its not overblown and its not hate, its genuine criticism, I mean sure the story was amazing but in general I felt sandpaper was more enjoyable in terms of gameplay, the only time I started to enjoy the dungeon crawling aspect was in the post game, and even then being spammed the same units over and over while having cramped maps with limited gameplay options really sucked
The best (most hilarious) part of Conquest is the off hand reveal that Corrin somehow managed to go most of the game, which is an active war mind you, without killing a single person.
Fates is one of the stories of all time. And of all of the characters ever made, Corrin sure is one of them Gameplay legit easily one of the best still
This honestly feels like the best guide on which fire emblem i’ll play next. You explain your points so well that i now know which fire emblem i would like to play. Thanks for making this video!
If Echoes had better map design, it probably would be the slam dunk best game in the series. The presentation is definitely on another level. Why couldn't they have kept that art style for 3H :(
The maps didn't bother me all that much tbh, of course they're wonky but it's just what happens when remakes are too faithful. The struggle was honestly part of its charm in my eyes, made me feel like I was actually fighting against all odds to achieve victory.
Every time Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn weren't displayed on the screen I got a little bit more giddy! Such great games with incredible map design and world building!
I don‘t think, the number of routes in FE16 has anything to do with the low number of maps. My personal guess for the blame goes to the zoom in feature, as because of it every map had to be detailed to an unprecedented degree, making maps much more ressource intensive, for a waste of a feature that no-one uses for longer than a few minutes.
I'm happy I somehow helped you to put the Thracia 776 in the top 5. To be honest those Thracia streams with you it was probably my fondest memories I have with anything Fire Emblem related I'm still gonna give you grief for saying TMS' combat is better than other SMT games.
The first and only Fire Emblem game I ever played was Path of Radiance. I can't recall any game I ever played on any console which was so addictive. I remember the matches lasting hours. Was insane. Love thje game. Wonderful story as well.
Even though I disagree with a lot of your list, it was so awesome to hear your thoughts on each and every Fire Emblem game! Thanks for taking the time to make it :)
When first adventuring into Fire Emblem, I was looking at Three Houses and was like "hmm I wonder if I can find an older game for cheaper to try out first" and pulled up Path of Radiance on ebay... not cheaper
If you're still short on getting into some of the newer titles, modding a 3DS is dead simple. So I'd do that if you wanna play Shadows of Valentia or Awakening and haven't gotten to yet.
Another problem with Three Houses is it's Avatar. Byleth felt wired, he's his own character but screams self insert and probably made me not care for them that much unlike Robin and to an extent Corrin.
Fire emblem awakening is my personal favourite game in the series because of how much fun it is to customize each unit and make them all one man armies and completely wreck shop with them I actually really liked a lot of three houses music I just wish that there was a massive interconnected narrative in act 2 where you get every unit to join after convincing them to go down the right path
I absolutely love most of the takes in this vid, especially with Three Houses. The church and golden deer routes are dedicated to lore and world-building, whereas black eagles and blue lions are the interesting clash of ideals I love the series for. if I had my way, I'd have there only be two routes (crimson flower and azure moon) and distribute the lore from the other two routes to them
The art in Echoes is just amazing. When I played Echoes and saw Palla, it was all over for me. They made her so beautiful :') And RINEA???? She is amazing, perfect, so well designed. I could cry if I stared at her for too long. Yes I am simping. One complaint is that Alm could have used more dong armour, so 0/10
PoR and RD are both my favorites too, mostly because they were the ones that introduced me to Fire Emblem in the first place. I've only ever played Sacred Stones, Shadow Dragon and Three Houses since then though
Greeeat video man. I can feel your passion and love for the games shining through this and I lm here for it. Thanks for inspiring me and loving the franchise as I do. Gonna go check out the rest of your channel and see what else I’ve missed!
@@Mamodxx the Reason for fate's sloppy story, is because the writers where trying to achieve too much with not enough time. Intelligents Systems had an idea for Fate to have three stories to appeal to everyone, but they realized that they didn't have enough writers. So they hired an outside writer, Shin Kibayashi was that writer. Intelligent Systems wanted Shin to write the outline for each pathway, what happened instead is that Shin wrote 500 pages for each pathway. Nintendo knew this was too long so they cut the story into pieces without the writers permission and the fact the Nintendo demanded Fates come on the Fire Emblem Anniversary only made things worse. Which resulted in this hilariously mess of a story. Not Helping matters is that Nintendo Treehouse didn't do a good job with Localization, so maybe that's why Corrin is portrayed as unintentionally unlikeable?????? The good news this that there is a manga based on Fates that is a little better. Its called Fire Emblem If: the Crown of Niberlung.
Please read. PLEASE! I understand why you don't like the music of the gba, but that and optional backstory shouldn't make flamming blade so low on the list. yes I said 12 is too low. it should be top 10 at least. I believe that more gameplay is nice because it makes sense. as long as the game keeps it entertaining.
HARD AGREE ON #1 I don’t know how or why but the whole time I played three houses I kept wishing I was playing Path of Radiance (which I’d played right before). Bigger maps aren’t always better and battles just felt more fun for some reason
I'm gonna disagree with the always recommend Golden Deer to anyone, Blue Lions has a much more contained story, and Silver Snow answers all the same questions and more. the only plot point in Golden Deer which isn't answered in the other routes is answered in the DLC. Golden Deer is just Claude doing Silver Snow when Claude has no reason to be doing any of the things they do in Silver Snow. I always recommend people play any other route than Golden Deer.
Azure moon ignores the story and The argathans whixh îs good, but The story îs just bland. It's Dimitri being so cliche and edgy, then he touches the hand of the avatar and he îs fine, time to beat the empire. Golden deer îs în făct better structured. Golden deer îs better to be played before azure moon.

I'll keep this brief. Your criticisms of the FE7 plot being gated behind limited supports are valid. Better design would have allowed you to read every support, but still limited you to 5 supports for gameplay bonuses. Nergal is also pretty cartoonishly villainous without much depth on the first playthrough. Every game (and story) deserves an interesting villain. Where I draw the line is where you say "I just can't recommend FE7 because of these reasons." Because of the plot being gated and a narratively weak villain. This is pretty baffling to me. Those are gripes. They're not good reasons to not like an otherwise excellent tactical strategy game. It's like saying you can't recommend chess because there's no randomness to keep it interesting, or that you can't recommend a book because the paper of your copy had a weird texture. TL;DR: FE7 is a tactical strategy game. That's its genre. You can knock it for its less than stellar story, and that's a valid criticism (a better story makes a better game), but "can't recommend it" for that alone is ... just a bad take. If a game presents itself for its gameplay, you judge it on its gameplay.
First time here. Your jokes are so funny, very good timing. Sharena supremacy got a giggle out of me. Edit: loved your list, was a little shocked by some of your choices. Then I realized it’s “your” list, awakening was my first FE game. So it’s definitely higher for me, but I was able to agree with some of your negative points. Great video :)
So about your point about expanding on the exploration mechanic from 3H. I feel like Echoes did the exploration stuff better with the towns and the dungeon crawling. If they do expand on it, I’d hope they take more from that rather than the Persona style that 3H had.
I love Radiant Dawn for the exact same reasons you love Path of Radiance. I played it randomly in 4th grade, and have loved it ever since. I didn’t play path of radiance until 7-8 years later, so I can’t entirely relate. Great list regardless!
I really like your arguments for all of these, great job! P.S. Started playing PoR a couple weeks ago, I always wanted to know more about Ike and the Tellius series, and I'm already loving it.
THANK YOU for pointing out the issues with GBA supports. I hate how limiting they were. Especially 5. WHY NOT 6 SO YOU CAN A SUPPORT TWO UNITS. I love the number of supports, it's not overwhelming like modern FEs can be, but the limited access is sooo frustrating. And replayability is not an excuse. I don't replay for supports, I replay for gameplay, using different units etc. If I play once with someone like Lowen, and then replay the game to try using Bartre instead, I'm not getting a chance to look at Lowen's other supports I couldn't access. The GBA soundfont has its charms, but I agree with you on that too. But good lord its support system can die in a hole.
Path of Radiance was phenomenal (I guess quality of soundtrack is a huge bias to me). Radiant Dawn, however, was simply numb, IMO, it felt unnecessary... Thracia 776 and Shadows of Valentia (on bsnes and citra) will be my next ones, thanks to your opinions in this video.
The maps are kinda junk of course I didn’t mind they are supposed to be like random fights in fields so it feels natural mages are a pain but it’s just more to think about. My one major complaint that I don’t have any reason to support them would be their terrible hit rates and wonky crit rates. Those suck.
Hey! I actually got my first Fire Emblem game recently, Fire Emblem for the GBA! After I played TTYD for the first time and loving it, I was really interested to see how their other RPG franchise was! I just got it, but I haven’t made it very far.
I think this is the first time I've heard the take about how the GBA supports hinder the story experience and honestly I agree with that 100%. Something always felt off my first time playing through them but I was so distracted by how much I enjoyed the animations and gameplay that I could never figure out what it was and I think you hit the nail on the head. The only take I disagree on is making the Fire Emblem games have less replay value. The developers don't expect you to play through all three houses routes back to back but take some time inbetween them so that when you play through it again its something new.
Agree about Three Houses i definitely had some issues with the game but rather than making you buy three games as was the case in Fates they at least gave all the routes in a single package, this also gave the game a longer life as well.
I am surprised that Three Houses didn't reach the top 5. I find it amazing and easily one of my top 3 best FE games. It has flaws that hold it back for me, but the good things about the game makes up for it. I do understand why you wouldn't put it as high as I expected, considering what it has done for the franchise. Maybe not as important as FE Awakening, which I think is also really good, but it is important as it did some things other games didn't do, like having battalion, interacting with other characters in the map and full voice acting. Path of Radiance is incredible too and possibly has one of the most badass villains and coolest FE lords in the franchise, that being Ike and the Black Knight. I do respect your opinion, but was just surprised of putting Three Houses at number 6. Not trying to bitch about it, as I do understand your point. Now have a good day.
It should be even lower. Threebhouses îs mediocre, especially The execution of the awful story. Which îs funny becuase azure moon îs The most liked Cuz it ignores the world building and The story.
Echoes is my favorite so far and I've played around half of them. Funny you mentioned your dad wanted a spiritual successor to Shining Force. That was what I played as a kid on my Genesis before I knew about fire emblem, such a masterpiece. We think a lot alike, top tier rating.
One Fire Emblem Fates Character I would’ve loved to have seen in Fire Emblem Warriors was Corrin’s Friend Silas. I was bummed he was not on there! He was one of my favorites.
was kinda surprised you didnt mention the soundtrack in any of the fates paths, i recently went back and ranked all the songs with friends and was kinda shocked how many i really, REALLY liked. those 'evil' themes are crazy good!
I was watching this video while browsing the PS3 for some doom shopping. I was so close to finishing the video in one sitting, but I had to stop and switch videos when I discovered there are two Geronimo Stilton games on PSP. I will be right back.
Video finished, very well made! I haven’t gotten far enough in TMS Encore to see it shine, but I guess we’ll see how that goes. And yeah, the Geronimo Stilton games are pretty simple, basically interactive books with mini games, but I feel that has a specific charm to it. Honestly, it just makes me miss Living Books.
1:04:10 based by putting sea salt and travelers with lyrics, its my fav fe song lol. Also, loved this tier list, as compared to some others I see around, you weren't disrespectful to your least favorite games here.
I honestly think that Echoed is my own personal favorite. But thats mainly because of what they did by adding in Berkut and Fernand. They were some of the best written characters I’ve seen, and they add so much more to the story. It even gives us a really great lore dump for a certain antagonist in a different game that was much needed, and this really helped out so much.
Echoes is my favorite game of all time. I can’t explain it. I fell in love with it… The art, the music, the characters, story, gameplay… idk to me it’s a master piece.
I love how you said bring out your ancient 3ds, when I just recently got mine out to finally finish sacred stones (ambassador program). I'm hoping to finally finish it as its the only FE game I've played and I haven't played it in over five years. Maybe ill play some of the others after too...
For me, the GBA Fire Emblems would stand on the top because of a couple of reasons: - Weapon triangle - Permanent death - Little but well-writen story - Rewarding support - Death is at each counter - Pixel arts - Crit animation is the best But of course, I love the other games too, especially the ones who give us the opportunity to have gay/lesbian character and ending
1. Awakening 2. Path of Radiance 3. 3 Houses 4. Echoes 5. Binding blade 6. Sacred Stones 7. Birthright 8. Conquest 9. Shadow Dragon 10. Blazing Blade 11. New Mystery 12. Radiant Dawn If you count warriors it’d be in the top 5 lmao. For the record PoR was my first. But Awakening has my most playtime by far.
@@Jonas_TGCW Honestly I'm not a fan of the cast of the Tellius games in general, and I definitely think RD's new characters were even worse. I think the maps are poorly designed, and frankly just find the game a lil too hard. As I said PoR was my first so I think a big reason it's so high is because of nostalgia. Also think the maps are better and the PoR characters were better when they were fresh. Probs unpopular opinion. What your favorite?
@@darkanthon My favourite actually is RD probably also cause it was my first FE (Probably one of the rarer first games) I just love the whole "Your two armies fight against eachother until they come together to defeat a freaking goddess" thing it has going on. While the characters (especially the new ones) don't have too much depth I still love all of them. :) The game has some annoying parts and some bad maps but the best maps make all of it worth it imo (3-13 and 3-E) But I understand why you wouldn't like it too much. Some of PoR best parts were removed in RD (Supports being the biggest one) Overall great list!
So, I’m sure you would know where the important stuff is. What supports would you recommend someone like me to see first for Blazing Blade and Sacred Stones.

Better get ready
so in 30 years?
Valentia????... Really?
There is something about the GBA graphics I like. The animations are so expressive. It’s sad we will never see something like it again.
Colors and contrast are also very well realized in the gba titles, which I think the new games lack a little.
I think Echoes wins in Animations for me, but for some unknown reason they only managed the quality *one* time with 3D fire emblem, and it didn't translate over to three houses AT ALL.

Something inside me broke when you placed Birthright above FE6, but great video

Tell me why

ECHOES LOVE HELL YEAH!!!!! I don't care about Map Design that much, the only time it bugs me is when Swamps exists.

I actually really liked a lot of three houses music I just wish that there was a massive interconnected narrative in act 2 where you get every unit to join after convincing them to go down the right path
I absolutely love most of the takes in this vid, especially with Three Houses. The church and golden deer routes are dedicated to lore and world-building, whereas black eagles and blue lions are the interesting clash of ideals I love the series for. if I had my way, I'd have there only be two routes (crimson flower and azure moon) and distribute the lore from the other two routes to them
Yes I agree those are my two favourite routes despite crimson flower feeling cut short.
What if you wanted to beat Medeus, but you couldn’t get your Merric with your last Warp and Marth to spawn in the same room on the final map...
You are so awesome in your writing and narration. This was enjoyable to watch. And you’re very talented in your jokes and comments
Thank you for your comments on Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia.

This must have been simultaneously fun and painful

It was a lot of work but worth it
The art in Echoes is just amazing. When I played Echoes and saw Palla, it was all over for me. They made her so beautiful :')
And RINEA???? She is amazing, perfect, so well designed. I could cry if I stared at her for too long. Yes I am simping.
One complaint is that Alm could have used more dong armour, so 0/10
Fates Conquest FTW!
Also, *activates flame shield*
I don't regret S-supporting Peri in my first playthrough. I sympathize with her backstory.
What back story? Her character îs just kill kill kill îs fun. I think you have brain damage, more than her
Also a back story doesn't mean good character if she has no development or personality
@@mihaimercenarul7467he never said it was good, he said he sympathizes with it. different people can like/relate to different things

I'm gonna disagree with the always recommend Golden Deer to anyone, Blue Lions has a much more contained story, and Silver Snow answers all the same questions and more. the only plot point in Golden Deer which isn't answered in the other routes is answered in the DLC. Golden Deer is just Claude doing Silver Snow when Claude has no reason to be doing any of the things they do in Silver Snow.
I always recommend people play any other route than Golden Deer.
This comment gives me immense pain.
@@raphaelsorel6907 Truth does hurt.
@@Missiletainn Hmmmm….
Azure moon ignores the story and The argathans whixh îs good, but The story îs just bland. It's Dimitri being so cliche and edgy, then he touches the hand of the avatar and he îs fine, time to beat the empire. Golden deer îs în făct better structured. Golden deer îs better to be played before azure moon.
This was a superbly made video
this was a really agreeable list, i love your placement of TMS

For too 5
I'll keep this brief. Your criticisms of the FE7 plot being gated behind limited supports are valid. Better design would have allowed you to read every support, but still limited you to 5 supports for gameplay bonuses. Nergal is also pretty cartoonishly villainous without much depth on the first playthrough. Every game (and story) deserves an interesting villain.
Where I draw the line is where you say "I just can't recommend FE7 because of these reasons." Because of the plot being gated and a narratively weak villain. This is pretty baffling to me. Those are gripes. They're not good reasons to not like an otherwise excellent tactical strategy game. It's like saying you can't recommend chess because there's no randomness to keep it interesting, or that you can't recommend a book because the paper of your copy had a weird texture.
TL;DR: FE7 is a tactical strategy game. That's its genre. You can knock it for its less than stellar story, and that's a valid criticism (a better story makes a better game), but "can't recommend it" for that alone is ... just a bad take. If a game presents itself for its gameplay, you judge it on its gameplay.
First time here. Your jokes are so funny, very good timing. Sharena supremacy got a giggle out of me.
Edit: loved your list, was a little shocked by some of your choices. Then I realized it’s “your” list, awakening was my first FE game. So it’s definitely higher for me, but I was able to agree with some of your negative points. Great video :)
So about your point about expanding on the exploration mechanic from 3H. I feel like Echoes did the exploration stuff better with the towns and the dungeon crawling. If they do expand on it, I’d hope they take more from that rather than the Persona style that 3H had.
Finally someone that doesn't absolutely hate warriors, this is rare
I love Radiant Dawn for the exact same reasons you love Path of Radiance. I played it randomly in 4th grade, and have loved it ever since. I didn’t play path of radiance until 7-8 years later, so I can’t entirely relate. Great list regardless!
My favourite fire emblem game is Pokémon Conquest
I really like your arguments for all of these, great job!
P.S. Started playing PoR a couple weeks ago, I always wanted to know more about Ike and the Tellius series, and I'm already loving it.
Great video bestie
THANK YOU for pointing out the issues with GBA supports. I hate how limiting they were. Especially 5. WHY NOT 6 SO YOU CAN A SUPPORT TWO UNITS. I love the number of supports, it's not overwhelming like modern FEs can be, but the limited access is sooo frustrating.
And replayability is not an excuse. I don't replay for supports, I replay for gameplay, using different units etc. If I play once with someone like Lowen, and then replay the game to try using Bartre instead, I'm not getting a chance to look at Lowen's other supports I couldn't access.
The GBA soundfont has its charms, but I agree with you on that too. But good lord its support system can die in a hole.
It's 5 in Path of Radiance too, so you can get 1 a and 1 b, because some support have like dating in them
Path of Radiance was phenomenal (I guess quality of soundtrack is a huge bias to me).
Radiant Dawn, however, was simply numb, IMO, it felt unnecessary...
Thracia 776 and Shadows of Valentia (on bsnes and citra) will be my next ones, thanks to your opinions in this video.
As a binding blade stan, im not shocked but I am disappointed
Thanks for making this video, i'm just getting into fire emblem and this video is helping me ut a lot into deciding wich ones i should play now
I really gotta get onto finishing Echoes
The maps are kinda junk of course I didn’t mind they are supposed to be like random fights in fields so it feels natural mages are a pain but it’s just more to think about. My one major complaint that I don’t have any reason to support them would be their terrible hit rates and wonky crit rates. Those suck.
I haven’t been this exited since Three Houses came out. It was my first Fire Emblem game. I liked the series since.
Surprising you only have 40k followers! Your voice is so good for this!
So much respect for #4. I havent played it but there's always soemthing respectable about having niche opinions
Hey! I actually got my first Fire Emblem game recently, Fire Emblem for the GBA! After I played TTYD for the first time and loving it, I was really interested to see how their other RPG franchise was! I just got it, but I haven’t made it very far.
I think this is the first time I've heard the take about how the GBA supports hinder the story experience and honestly I agree with that 100%. Something always felt off my first time playing through them but I was so distracted by how much I enjoyed the animations and gameplay that I could never figure out what it was and I think you hit the nail on the head. The only take I disagree on is making the Fire Emblem games have less replay value. The developers don't expect you to play through all three houses routes back to back but take some time inbetween them so that when you play through it again its something new.
Agree about Three Houses i definitely had some issues with the game but rather than making you buy three games as was the case in Fates they at least gave all the routes in a single package, this also gave the game a longer life as well.
Shadows a Valentia purely because of the voice acting for me 😂
LIES LIES LIES
Great video bro keep it up
Where would you put Three Hopes on the list, out of curiosity?
Still unsure. I need some time away from it to really form a final opinion
I'll likely post a pinned comment in a few weeks talking about Three Hopes
Fire Emblem will always be my favorite video game franchise by Nintendo. I love it over Mario and Zelda
I am surprised that Three Houses didn't reach the top 5. I find it amazing and easily one of my top 3 best FE games. It has flaws that hold it back for me, but the good things about the game makes up for it. I do understand why you wouldn't put it as high as I expected, considering what it has done for the franchise. Maybe not as important as FE Awakening, which I think is also really good, but it is important as it did some things other games didn't do, like having battalion, interacting with other characters in the map and full voice acting. Path of Radiance is incredible too and possibly has one of the most badass villains and coolest FE lords in the franchise, that being Ike and the Black Knight. I do respect your opinion, but was just surprised of putting Three Houses at number 6. Not trying to bitch about it, as I do understand your point. Now have a good day.
It should be even lower. Threebhouses îs mediocre, especially The execution of the awful story. Which îs funny becuase azure moon îs The most liked Cuz it ignores the world building and The story.
Thank you for this 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Echoes is my favorite so far and I've played around half of them. Funny you mentioned your dad wanted a spiritual successor to Shining Force. That was what I played as a kid on my Genesis before I knew about fire emblem, such a masterpiece. We think a lot alike, top tier rating.
I have some slightly different placements but overall it seems we're kindred spirits. W list ❤.
I like most of the list, RD’s soundtrack is amazing though, couldn’t disagree more on that bit
I know how good somebody's opinion is according to SoV's placement.
You have exquisite taste.
One Fire Emblem Fates Character I would’ve loved to have seen in Fire Emblem Warriors was Corrin’s Friend Silas. I was bummed he was not on there! He was one of my favorites.
Titania smashes everything from the second you get her, until the end of path of radiance. It’s incredible.
was kinda surprised you didnt mention the soundtrack in any of the fates paths, i recently went back and ranked all the songs with friends and was kinda shocked how many i really, REALLY liked. those 'evil' themes are crazy good!
Here's how I'd rank the games I've played, from worst to best:
20. *Fates: Revelation*
19. *Warriors*
18. *Heroes*
17. *Three Hopes - Golden Wildfire*
16. *Fates: Conquest*
15. *Fates: Birthright*
14. *Three Houses - Silver Snow*
13. *Engage*
12. *Shadow Dragon*
11. *Three Houses - Crimson Flower*
10. *Three Houses - Verdant Wind*
9. *Three Hopes - Scarlet Blaze*
8. *Awakening*
7. *Blazing Sword*
6. *Three Hopes - Azure Gleam*
5. *Echoes: Shadows of Valentia*
4. *The Sacred Stones*
3. *Three Houses - Azure Moon*
2. *Path of Radiance*
1. *Radiant Dawn*
Really holding out hope that we'll get that FE4 remake announced soon.
I was watching this video while browsing the PS3 for some doom shopping. I was so close to finishing the video in one sitting, but I had to stop and switch videos when I discovered there are two Geronimo Stilton games on PSP. I will be right back.
Video finished, very well made! I haven’t gotten far enough in TMS Encore to see it shine, but I guess we’ll see how that goes.
And yeah, the Geronimo Stilton games are pretty simple, basically interactive books with mini games, but I feel that has a specific charm to it. Honestly, it just makes me miss Living Books.
1:04:10 based by putting sea salt and travelers with lyrics, its my fav fe song lol. Also, loved this tier list, as compared to some others I see around, you weren't disrespectful to your least favorite games here.
Aaaaand now I wanna play Thracia again. Thanks bro
I honestly think that Echoed is my own personal favorite. But thats mainly because of what they did by adding in Berkut and Fernand. They were some of the best written characters I’ve seen, and they add so much more to the story. It even gives us a really great lore dump for a certain antagonist in a different game that was much needed, and this really helped out so much.
Mamodox: I have played all this crap!
Cameraman: Was it worth it?
Mamodox: HELL NO! *stsrts to cry*
I really like your list. And even though FE1 is one of my favorite FE's, I respect your opinion.
Very cool video madmom
Echoes is my favorite game of all time. I can’t explain it. I fell in love with it… The art, the music, the characters, story, gameplay… idk to me it’s a master piece.
I love how you said bring out your ancient 3ds, when I just recently got mine out to finally finish sacred stones (ambassador program). I'm hoping to finally finish it as its the only FE game I've played and I haven't played it in over five years. Maybe ill play some of the others after too...
I was expecting TMS to be lower because everyone hates it so much. Glad to see I'm not the only one who loves it xD
Echoes at #2?
King shit
For me, the GBA Fire Emblems would stand on the top because of a couple of reasons:
- Weapon triangle
- Permanent death
- Little but well-writen story
- Rewarding support
- Death is at each counter
- Pixel arts
- Crit animation is the best
But of course, I love the other games too, especially the ones who give us the opportunity to have gay/lesbian character and ending
Plays clip of a man begging for mercy from his uncle.
*Two sentences later*
"It's such a feel good story"
1. Awakening
2. Path of Radiance
3. 3 Houses
4. Echoes
5. Binding blade
6. Sacred Stones
7. Birthright
8. Conquest
9. Shadow Dragon
10. Blazing Blade
11. New Mystery
12. Radiant Dawn
If you count warriors it’d be in the top 5 lmao. For the record PoR was my first. But Awakening has my most playtime by far.
Just out of curiosity but how did RD end up at the bottom? :)
@@Jonas_TGCW Honestly I'm not a fan of the cast of the Tellius games in general, and I definitely think RD's new characters were even worse. I think the maps are poorly designed, and frankly just find the game a lil too hard. As I said PoR was my first so I think a big reason it's so high is because of nostalgia. Also think the maps are better and the PoR characters were better when they were fresh. Probs unpopular opinion. What your favorite?
@@darkanthon My favourite actually is RD probably also cause it was my first FE (Probably one of the rarer first games) I just love the whole "Your two armies fight against eachother until they come together to defeat a freaking goddess" thing it has going on. While the characters (especially the new ones) don't have too much depth I still love all of them. :) The game has some annoying parts and some bad maps but the best maps make all of it worth it imo (3-13 and 3-E) But I understand why you wouldn't like it too much. Some of PoR best parts were removed in RD (Supports being the biggest one) Overall great list!
@@Jonas_TGCW Thanks for being respectful, I wish I liked RD more but I'm glad you love it!
The balls it takes to put Tokyo Mirage Sessions in the top 5🤣🤣
Note: Tho I agree that it’s a lot better than people make it out to be
Hooray! Someone with the same great taste in games as me
Wow this list is......Very different than most, gotta give you props for that
Hi roy
@@Zane_tube17 hi
So, I’m sure you would know where the important stuff is.
What supports would you recommend someone like me to see first for Blazing Blade and Sacred Stones.
yooooo Path was the best shit EVER, Based
