      I think this was not a "IS forgot Laurent" problem, but rather IS (for some reason) does not like characters with glasses. We still haven't gotten a non-seasonal Ignaz and Hanneman as well as Yukimura from Fates are missing completely. Miriel was also pretty late joining Heroes.
      Nice coincidence though how they added Laurent shortly after your video^^

      Also a Laurent fan here,
      Yeah, gameplay wise Laurent is pretty good- him having access to dark mage from the get go definitely helps him too. Don't have a favorite parent for him though, as I am not particularly invested in Miriel.
      for the last few years I've been giving all my CYL votes to Laurent to help him score higher potentially making it into FEH finally, but so far to no avail sadly.
      Personality wise, I think it's a shame that he's overlooked so much [with many thinking of him as a "miriel 2.0" (much like how many seem to think of Kjelle as a "sully 2.0") so they don't even check any of his supports (excluding the initial 2)] BUT I do kinda get it, on my first FE:A run I actually didn't recruit him because I didn't realize he was a playable character when I visited his village, so his design might be a bit too bland for some people. (not to mention his recruitment placing him inside a village and needing Chrom or Miriel to visit it definitely didn't do him any favours)
      Personally I think he has a lot of great supports, and they really show his differences to miriel- (whereas she is all about knowledge and doesn't understand emotions very much, he is much more people focused, tries to assist them and understands emotions well enough)
      thooough I feel like when people DO actually talk about his supports they usually default to "Laurent X Noire" with his... interesting dialogue in their (primarily S) supports.

      @StomachPlug 8 месяцев назад +2

      Laurent was relatively decent, but it is understandable that he can be forgettable.
      He's easily the child unit that is the closest to an exact copy of their parent which definitely goes a long way towards explaining how little impact he leaves on most players.

      Honestly it’s pretty interesting to hear how you started out in the series with one of the least likely ways to begin it.
      I’m personally a fan of the Warriors games and I was hopeful to see Rowan, Lianna, and maybe Darios and someone else come to Heroes, but it doesn’t seem likely at all anymore.

      But yeah! My first mainline fire emblem game after warriors was when three houses came out, and I really liked it and also played shadow dragon and new mystery of the emblem on my DS, then engage when it came out and I recently played fates as well! Still wanting to play a bunch of the other older games or finally play awakening :)
      Also fun fact I didn't know what FEH was for a while so when the book 4 trailer came out I thought it was a new fire emblem game and definitely was a little caught off guard by how wildly different it looked from other games >~>

    For Three Houses, maybe Alois?
    A lot of people tend to forget he is recruitable because of the short two-chapter window (one in Crimson Flower!) by a time where most players have already fleshed out their armies and/or are getting tired of exploring the monastery AND are about to get Seteth who is much better than him.

      Alois and Gilbert are too memorable for different reasons, and Hanneman has his fans too so uhh...

    Sincerely the recruitable bosses in fates fit more in a trivia question with all the cast (including the non-playable ones). They are more unique looking einherjar rather then playable characters in there own right on the same brand of the Trial Maps only playable characters or the creature campaign units.
    However if we are including those guys, I must throw the hat to Hayden from FE8, how many people remember that the king of Frelia is playable in creature campaign?
    Edit note: He is actually so obscure that 9 hours in, no one corrected me that the king of Frelia is named Hayden and Halcyon is the former Duma priest in gaiden/Valentia

    I have seen people talk about the Engage DLC characters however I think Madeline will be the forgotten character. Nel and Nil are fell dragons and are the main focus of the DLC story, Zelestia is considered one of the best units in the game as well as a great unique class and Gregory is the soft boy version of Griss. Madeline doesn't have anything to stand out aside from her boss conversation with Marni.

    Fun fact. I am responsible for a vast majority of the information on the Hasha no Tsurugi characters wiki pages.
    Madeline is one my second favorite character in Engage next to Framme. And Nel's design is easily one of the best in the series. Fell Xenologue was a bad in terms of difficulty on higher difficulties but in terms of story it was a nice dark take on the world that I wish was actually lot more fleshed out. If Engage were to have gotten proper support, I would have liked for Fell Xenologue to get a longer campaign that would flesh out what the Alt Elyos was like and how it got to be the way it was.

You were also able to rename the children upon collection. In my dream I found my brother’s old ds where he’d gotten a shiny Laurent.

    As someone who's read a bit of the FE6 manga, believe me when I say that the new characters do leave a big impression on you, especially Al, he's pretty damn memorable. Plus the manga itself is kinda insane in a good way, Eliwood is used a little bit more, we had a whole chapter or few about Lance and a new guy who was made to be his friend turned unfortunate enemy, Murdock being super strong, way more than what our pesky Clarine A support Armorslayer Rutger's can deal with, and A LOT of characters are merely cameos. It's a genuinely fun read...when you're able to find the book.
    But on a semi-related note, I didn't know there was a Thracia 776 manga until recently. With the first 2 chapters I read, it's pretty damn good. I'd say if you're able to find it to check it out.

    "Is Laurent a good unit?" with just Lon'qu alone as his father, Laurent is one of the few units who can contribute a Vantage+Nosferatu playstyle to Awakening that isn't Robin & Morgan, and he has enough speed to actually make it work incredibly easily, remarkably early on, being consistent on both Hard and Lunatic with only minimal overall investment, but skyrockets with a little extra statboosters and a good support partner. He's very good, and highly overlooked. Also has a funny support with Noire. Give the nerd a shot.

    Hello, I’m the one Laurent fan! It’s me! I actually considered marrying him in one of my playthroughs of Awakening, he’s a similar character to Miriel but with a more interesting and complex personality. What’s sort of tragic and funny is that Laurent was sent farther back in time than the other kids, so he had to live by himself for longer before they showed up. So even in his original game he has some trauma about being forgotten. :,)
    I do actually have friends who like the main characters of FE: Warriors, but I don’t know their names, she only calls them “the lemon royals.”

      Engage to be honest many felt it was meh(it shows due to the lack of engagement within the community and how the game fell off hard with a drop of 60% in sales… it doesn’t really stand out other than gameplay. It story was not that good characters were forgettable( they went way too hard with being tropes), vtuber artstyle was abit off putting, and word of mouth wasn’t that good. it also had some questionable choice they made like no new game+. For an anniversary game it ironically failed to engage both new and old fans. That’s why you mostly here about the other games instead of engage (heck even in heroes engage doesn’t have that many banners and they went back to promoting more 3H)

    You should've mentioned the generic maiden that Chrom can marry in Awakening. If Chrom's suitors are already married or never developed any supports with him, Chrom will marry some rando who uses the generic female NPC model.
    She isn't playable and that's probably why you didn't bother including her, but considering she can be Lucina's mother and appears in cutscenes I thought she was still noteworthy.

    I'd say that the capturable units in Fates had potential to be some of the best written units in the series. Nichol and Candace have traces of them having supports and possibly even more than that which makes it so heart-breaking to me that it seemingly was scrapped for time.
    As a person whose been playing through all the games in order, the idea of capturing an actively hostile bad guy and slowly but surely convincing or bribing them to fight under MC's cause is amazing for unit reception. I was starting to get tired of so many "I'm actually not bad, I'm just being mislead" or "I'm bad but I have a tragic backstory" recruitable enemy units. It sucks theres no unique dialogue for bribing/convincing them as I really wanted to see Kumagera and Nichols reasoning for being convinced.
    Being able to use the capture function to get more antagonistic and outright bad people with little excuses is actually an amazing idea with a lot of potential to get the players invested in these characters so its super unfortunate these characters did not get supports to further flesh out their characters. Unlike the spotpass villain recruits in awakening which made no sense as they happened at the fuckin end of the game, since Fates lets you get these guys early and most of them arent too bad as long as you do their chapters with minimal casualities via good play, you can justify having them without the player feeling like its insane we spared them. Like Nichol has definitely killed people before, but since I got to him before any villagers died in his chapter (you can still capture him even if they did), it felt like it was okay to capture him as he hadn't done anything too bad yet.
    I'd love for this mechanic to come back to further allow players to give some enemies a second chance. It always feels weird how we HAVE to kill characters who seem like they can be convinced to our side if we just like, knocked them out and took them with us to reason with them.

  • @_abaddon_2681
    @_abaddon_2681 8 месяцев назад +3

    I do agree that it's hard to really pin down the least popular Engage character, since the game hasn't been out for too much, and something tells me (DLC excluded) that Bunet will be the most likely candidate. As a unit, he's not remarkable. Not bulky enough to take hits reliably, not strong enough to put out meaningful damage and an awful personal skill to boot. Add a very one-note personality to the frey and you've got yourself a character easily forgotten. Even certain earlier recruits stand out, despite some of them being outclassed by a different unit, like Lapis for example. Late recruits are also memorable all for their own reason. Lindon is the only recruitable unit who starts off as an enemy in his join map, Saphir is tedious to keep save from chapter 19's nonsense, and Mauvier and Veyle have a lot of presence throughout the story, and all of these four offer their own interesting, fun and unique quirks.
    If we do include DLC, then Madeline is the most likely pick. The fell twins are a major focus of the Fell Xenologue, Zelestia in terms of personality is an interesting spin on what would be a direct opposite of Zephia, not to mention most of us know a different reason why she catches other people's eyes, Gregory has a very distinct and, honestly, quite endearing personality, all while Madeline feels kind of... bland as a character? Don't get me wrong, her support conversations are also quite interesting, but I understand why people aren't really drawn to her as a character, as well as her bad dex and spd giving her a bad unit feel.
    Tl;dr: Bunet and, if we include DLC, Madeline are the two most likely characters that will be most forgotten, or at least that's how I see it.

    • @dracotias
      @dracotias 8 месяцев назад

      Personally Madeline is my favourite, I find her occasional "slip ups" where she lets out that she does actually want praise adorable.
      I'm also just a sucker for the slight goth lolita vibes.
      As for her bad speed, I have her built so that she crits basically everything anyway. She doesn't need a second hit.
      I think she may have a SLIGHT edge up as time goes on based on being an Alt-Marnie. Since she was soooooo close to just being playable in the base game and that feeling of being robbed kinda lingers.

    • @pandabanaan9208
      @pandabanaan9208 8 месяцев назад

      I don't know for sure, bunet is a bad unit wich typically makes units more memorable then if he was just all right, also his personality is unhinged like some of his dialog is so weird it's funny like asking to lick your bed sheets
      Madeline has horrible unit feel in the xenologue but in the main game she can actually become pretty absurd, like with the skill quick riposte and hit + along with a reclass to sword axe great knight she can become seth tier juggernaut, okay maybe not that broken since you still have to be scared of mages but for hardmode I can just put her in a group of physical enemies with a silver sword and she kills all of them on enemy phase though I get the feeling a lot of people try to put speed +5 and canter on her and then call her a bad unit because they don't know how to make use of her strenghts

    I'll admit, the main reason I even remember Rowan and Lianna is because I thought their moveset in Warriors was one of the more fun ones, and I remember seeing a few videos about why specifically Rowan is the worst FE lord personality-wise. The fact that you can't even vote for them in CYL is absurd to me; it's like IS is trying to erase them from history. Personally I never minded either of them but that's mostly because, aside from Rowan going on in supports about how kings are cowards and he wants to be a knight instead so he can be on the front lines, both of them are just very bland from what I remember, which is very little because they're so forgettable; I could only tell you maybe one or two of Lianna's lines verbatim and zero of Rowan's, and I was one of the people who actually really liked Warriors too, if only for the gameplay and a few supports. Hopefully they get remembered by IS at some point but I'm not really counting on it unless they do make another FE Warriors game that mashes a bunch of games together, and even then I feel like we'd get new lords instead and only a brief mention of the Aytolis twins at best, or maybe an Aytolis-styled costume or something for the new lords if you have save data from the first game.

    No one in the comments has mentioned, nor in the Tellius section, but Soan, one of Ashera's 3 Heroes alongside Altina and Dheginsea. Soan is seen as the giant green lion that Altina rides on in that one CG and never again, but it's canon in Tellius lore that he became the 2nd king of Begnion after Altina (English RD has a mistranslation saying 2nd king of Gallia). He's also the direct ancestor of Stefan. Funny thing is he only has that CG, a cipher card, and a FEH Meet the Heroes' doodle, and we only ever see him as a giant green lion. Would love to see him added to FEH one day to get a human design, I imagine he would look a lot like Stefan considering the direct ancestry.
