Launch was a crazy time, Takumi could beat almost any unit, Ryoma and Hector were mythical units that only a select few had, and Subaki could clear entire arena teams because everyone just used Red units.
@jfp4life PM1 used to do a lot of footage with him, it was pretty funny to see. Nino was my mvp back then so I had no issues, but man did people love their red units.
Kinda wish more gacha games did this in general. Animations are nice and really make hitting that max rarity summon/pull something special. Although it was different for FEH since most of the Heroes with that animation video were 4☆ rarity (Marth, Roy, and Camilla off the top of my head).
@@JAMllostthegamePokémon Masters does something similar where if you get a 5 star, you get a background with a quote the character in question says. If you’ve played enough games, you can easily tell who you got before the silhouette appears.
I’ve been playing the game since version 1 and have all the launch characters except Elise. She’s that one character that constantly manages to evade me
We need Base Veronica/Bruno. 7 years and they technically are in "alt hell" Also, why the Cipher characters are not considered in the CYL ballot? I'd like to have them in the game
It's really interesting how this game changed over the years and giving characters much needed love. I've been playing feh since it first launched and what a crazy ride it has been looking back all the way until now
Plus, he’s one of the very few major Awakening characters not in the game yet. For Fallen Chrom’s Forging Bonds, practically every playable Gen1 Awakening character was in it except for Vaike and Kellam (though the former was mentioned by name). And the whole plot of the C-Support was landing the final blow on Validar, who didn’t even get an off-screen dialogue.
Been playing since launch and this was nostalgia. And yeah, it is quite scary and cool to think feh has been going for 7 years. I hope it doesn’t end any time soon.
I started playing last year and Alfonse eventually became one of my favourite characters in Fire Emblem! Him and Lucina are my favourite characters in the series!
The fact that i started playing a little after skill inheritance was added and in these 6 and a half years i've never randomly pulled an og Elise is crazy
I was there on day 1 and it was a crazy time being a fates baby. Just seeing how many fire emblem characters and games there were really opened me up to the franchise. It is because of the small launch pool that Catria is one of my favorite characters in FE
I've played this game since March 2022. Look, I only got the game because I wanted Lucina and F!Corrin. But boy, how much I've grown over the past year. I finally have my Favorites Emblem.
The days when tome + flier was a rare combination you could only hope you get via seasonal banners, rather than being able to literally get them for free using grails.
@@hypersonic223 Likewise. Recall the days of Raven-tomes + Triangle Adept on every Mage to counter Takumi? Or when Hector ran Quick Riposte seal to be able to follow-up through Axebreaker?
I remember getting Hector during Hero Fest and my friend got jealous as the game became a walk in the park. my first team was Jakob Marth Jagen and Lucius
(idk if I posted this already because I got an error, but here I go again) FEH and FGO being some of the oldest and still active gacha games is something else. Especially considering how archaic FGO feels. For other older gacha games THE iDOLM@STER had two before these in Cinderella Girls and Million Live and in the last two years they've finally ended their services since the newer rhythm games (Starlight Stage and Theater Days) have been doing well enough for them to makenthe move. I think Love Live! School Idol Fest was also as old, but that also hit end of service for SIF 2 that released in Japan recently this year (don't think it has hit Global release yet). There's also Kantai Collection, but I dont think you could classify that as a gacha. idk where that game is now, but I don't think ive heard of it beind EoS'd or else I'd probably still hear about it from somewhere on the Internet. So yeah, FEH and FGO are pretty much like grandparents at this point. I cant remember what other gacha games have been around since then that are still ongoing. EDIT: How could I forget the actual grand daddy gacha game Granblue Fantasy LMAOOOO 😂
2:33 i honestly didnt mind that ike wasnt there at the beginning. The banner drop with ike was so hype, surviving the Ikeless months for that anouncement trailer was soooo worth it. These days i dont get as hyped anymore when a new main lord joins the roster, but back in the day... maaaaaaaaaaan.
Thinking back to the days when I tried getting Corrin but was getting like 5* Mathilda... I remember back then there was a very dedicated Jacob player who foddered every dagger to him (can't remember who it was but I hope they're doing well ww)
man is been so long! I never thought the game will make it this far, and it's kinda scary to think how much more time is going to keep going because I can't stop playing it
Ive been playing for about 4 and a half years, and this crazy mobile game actually did educate me on just how big FE's legacy is and all its Main games. I started out in Awakening and even though i knew Marth and Roy from SSBM, i had no idea about the rest of the games in between. It definitely has helped me appreciate the series a lot though. But Ive always been concerned about what will happen once they put every OG FE character into the game. Regardless its been a fun ride and i love seeing my favorites (Robin) getting some cracked skills and alts.
I'll enjoy launch. First 5* I got was Lucius. Takumi and Kagero were the biggest threats, Hector was terrifying and was pretty much the only one to beat Ursula's GHB event. To this day I've been using the same Jeorge I got in 2017 because I thought "Perfect Shot" means he's strong. Also have Lon'qu and that free female Corrin.
I remember first playing FEH a month after it came out and using a 4 star Merric on my main team that felt very strong, then the month after getting a 5 star of him as my very 1st followed by Linde, who I both immediatly threw on my main team, and honestly it felt like fate and I've used Merric on my main team ever since, the linde eventually got replaced, but OG Merric's still there and has never left this whole time.
I always tried to summon on Thracia banners because I wanted to support by showing my orb spending on those banners. To see its 21/56 characters, its kinda sad. I am always hype for Thracia banners, and its sad that the last banner might be a Thracia banner but with Genealogy imposters. So it might be the only Thracia banner until book 9 or something. ;;
What is interesting and probably should have been stated, that not all of the original release heroes were actually playable by release. I mean aside the Emblian characters, but characters like Zephiel, Camus or Xander, despite being there from the beginning, still took quite some time until there GHB was released an with that they became playable. And which I think is also funny, it only took one month until the first alts (Spring Chrom, Lucina and Camilla) and with that also somewhat the first pseudo alt hell unit (Spring Xander) and only three month until the first real alt hell character for a very, very long time with Bridal Charlotte.
Can't believe they haven't added Dagdar, Fergus, Safy, Tina and Perne yet. Such iconic FE5 characters... I mean, for me and the other 5 people that love FE5 haha
Niles hasnt gotten a new alt since year 1, I hope now that we're at a point where old Fates characters are getting good new alts (Valentines Leo!) that means Niles can finally get something new I love the guy but Id happily use something other than his armored halloween alt by now
Wait why do they have Zelgius denoted as being in alt hell? Sure it's the BK armor and not his classic red, but for all intents and purposes that *is* Zelgius
It's true, but the actual zelgius personality isn't even in his own armor, we just want a be all and end all crimson soldier, not a blackluna spam armor thing that's always the same
I was here almost at the start. And I said almost, because at that moment it was hard to get it to work. There were too many users of something. Originally I start with a tablet and during this years I have changed my phone once to keep playing this game. I even start using a cell phone only to play the game.
Leaving Ike out on launch I think was a smart move because when he was finally added to the game it really felt like a big deal. It may have been strategic to use him as a hype advertisement to draw players in a while after release
Imo Darros and Fuga are not in alt hell. Darros is a pirate and Fuga is from the wind tribe. Kinda weird for them to be considered that but I also get why to an extent.
Fire Emblem Heroes has made Nintendo some serious money! It's made at least 650 million dollars (the most recent I've seen is surpassing 1 billion as of June 2022).
I mean the ike thing isnt questionable. Frankly the most obvious answer. Money. They build the hype, and release him later on. His banner to this day is still the top grossed banner FEH has ever released. Him being at launch wouldnt have that effect unless EVERYONE acted like that one player who spent $2k just to get a single a Hector
I have zero Idea why Reinhardt was a shoo in for Thracia representation. nobody played fe5 (or even could) and unless he's infamous in the japanese community for some reason I don't understand
FeH is a guilty pleasure for me because I play it because I like to get the characters, but also FEH is a complete defanging of FE. Games since Awakening don’t delve too much into the political narratives or even really have that satisfying character narratives, aside from FE3H so I guess the series has had the same energy for a while now, but Fire Emblem feels like it’s trying very hard to be marketable, and FEH is the obvious pinnacle of that, what with there being a gatcha and sexy outfits and fun costumes for all these veteran soldiers and political leaders to go around killing each other in. And I find it impossible to actually care about the game’s story on a thematic basis, I only care out of curiosity, but it’s thematically hollow. I think it’s obvious IS will milk FE until they are unable, but honestly as much as I enjoy some things about FEH, I think a lot of us would just straight up be better without it, mostly because it’s a gatcha.
@@therealjaystone2344 feh’s story is only better than Engage’s on the basis of it being more ridiculous. Both are pretty thematically hollow. Engage’s story is funnier if you focus on how often Alear and other characters repeat their sentiments.

8:36 Zelgius isn't in alt hell, he's been his own unit for years now. The art used is the one from his base form.
No, they mean PoR Zelgius and RD Zelgius with his normal armor
Something i will always be grateful about FEH is introducing me to Legion
Instant favorite, +10 +30DF, fully built and now i got a cosplay of him

Validar not being in feh really is super hilarious after seven years and ten years after Awakening came out. Sucks to be you Validar! :P
Plus, he’s one of the very few major Awakening characters not in the game yet.

I haven't played FEH in 2 years. Did Nyna ever get into the game?
@@l.n.3372 Yes, as an demote healer with good art. And now Validar is also in at this point

Sadly, yearly decline in revenue and player base and running out of worlds is gonna be the end.

The fact that i started playing a little after skill inheritance was added and in these 6 and a half years i've never randomly pulled an og Elise is crazy
I really like these videos looking back at the history of FEH in general
I have been playing FEH since 2019, I am glad that this game is still quite popular today and I hope it stays that way for a few more years!
Despite the declining revenue and player base
@@therealjaystone2344 I mean. It's 7 years old. I'd be surprised if it had the same revenue, lol.
