The Most BADASS Fire Emblem Characters of All Time

SdĂ­let
VloĆŸit
  • čas pƙidĂĄn 21. 03. 2021
  • Today we talk about Fire Emblem characters who rock the combination of courageous, composed, powerful, cool and mentally tough. AKA: Badasses.
    I worked hard on this video, so I really hope you enjoy it!
    This video has major spoilers for Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, Fire Emblem: Thracia 776, Fire Emblem: Awakening and Fire Emblem: Three Houses. As well as a minor spoiler for Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem.
    This video starts with a definition on badassery, followed by an example of Basileo from Fire Emblem: Awakening and Jagen from Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem Book 2.
    Then, I go into more of a character spotlight for Dedue Molinaro from Fire Emblem: Three Houses: explaining his relationship with Dimitri, the heroic feats he performs in each route of the game (Azure Moon, Crimson Flower, Verdant Wind and Silver Snow) and how he also tolerates the mistreatment from others within the kingdom.
    Eyvel from Fire Emblem Thracia 776 is the next character on the list. Here, I talk about her origins as Brigid from Genealogy of the Holy war, and how Eyvel came to be. I outline her motherly relationship with several characters of the FE5 cast: Leif, Nanna, Mareeta, Halvan, Othin and other Fianan kids. I talk about her clash with Raydrik, her petrification by Veld and her eventual rescue by use of the Kia staff by Sarah.
    There are many characters who I would qualify as badass. Like Ike, Lysithea, Jaffar and Dryas. Let me know if you'd like to see a part 2!
    For this video, I did some external research about the open-endedness of Gen 1 of FE4, and I used this interview with Kaga as one of my sources regarding geas and Lewyn:

      Speaking of Eyvel, I feel like Finn also would've been a good pick just for surviving all the shit he went through. There's plenty of "loyal retainer" characters in the series, but Finn takes it to a peak.
      Also Haar, just for being OP & having some of the most awesome battle quotes in the series ("So you're defending the goddess... but will she do the same for you?")

      Though permission to toss an idea your way? You know about those Iceberg videos on CZcams right? Super Mario 64 Iceberg, Pokemon Iceberg, Minecraft Iceberg, etc? You should hunt down and do a Fire Emblem Iceberg video, talking about the interesting lore and theories through the history of Fire Emblem! Again, just a fun idea, hopefully, it will be considered. ^^

All this without any combat proficiency, she throws herself into dangerous circumstances without any guarantee of her safety. She may not be a badass in her abilities, but she is a badass in her heart.

    Let's hear it for my man Donnel. Talk about Zero to Hero. Started as an unproficient, barely combat-ready villager class and eventually transitions into one of the most solid and well-rounded units. Aside from combat effectiveness, Donnel proves himself to be incredibly multi-talented. He's good with raising plants due to his farming background. He's an excellent trapper and even manages to fool Panne's keen senses. He's not well-educated, but learns extremely quickly to the poont that even Miriel was impressed. This is helped by the fact that he actually has a photographic memory and can recite even dense legal text on command as long as he's read it once. He's not magically talented but is smart enough to recognize that even though Tharja's spell components seem similar, that doesn't mean they're evil. And, to top it off, he's kind and hard-working, always offering to lend a hand and supporting his allies. What a badass!

Leif notes that Finn literally starved himself in order to feed both Leif and Nanna and ensure they grow up healthy and strong. The sacrifices Finn made in the name of his fallen liege and for his daughter would honestly break a lesser man, but Finn's loyalty and devotion is on another level.

    I think Travant is an ultra badass chad, not just through battle prowess, but maintaining a kingdom for 25+ years, raising 2 children as a single father while operating an army that makes the Oakland A's look like the New York Yankees in terms of payroll and revenue. Constantly having the odds against him and solving problems with not just brute force but shrewd moves and cunning on top of his impressive and fear instilling outward image. FE4, FE5 and even the Oosawa manga show how badass the dude is, he constantly gets kicked in the dick at every turn, does he give up? No, he gets right back up and fights like a pitbull until the very end, commanding the respect of everyone around him.

    Dude, Eyvel is the most badass character in all of fire emblem for me. She does have the major holy blood so that's probably the reason why since having it is FE equivalent of having super powers, but I dont care. The girl is such a joy to follow when she is in the focus and the fact that she frightened the hell out of what is basically the main bad guy of Thracia (Veld who?) so early into the game is so cool. Man I wish Thracia would get a remake so that I can hear that scene voice acted.

  • @NOIDEAIWILLJUSTUSEHAILEYIGUESS

      Feh does so many characters dirty. It's really disheartening seeing people here go "wow they're now my favorite character!" to the lesser known games. It shows people will like the characters, but feh doesn't give them a chance. Despite that, there's still the people who groan about the lesser known games getting banners.

      Yeah Bromains & Neph are lowkey really good characters in FE as they balance being heroes and humble villagers at the same time, other villager characters end up being ironically amazing, still cracking farming jokes as they annihilate everything meanwhile Brom & Neph go from simple farmers rescued by Ike to being very formidable yet not famous and overly flashy heroes. You can tell they’re renowned in their village and highly respected by Elincia but that’s where it ends for them.

    Karel also deserves a mention. He started out as a pretty typical edgy Swordmaster, but ended up actually mellowing out while also (unwillingly) becoming a legend across Elibe. Even though he almost gave up on fighting, he is convinced by his niece/brother-in-law to stop the coming apocalypse while also mentoring others whenever he gets the chance to. And even though he considers himself rusty, his growths are literally the best in the entire series. Even though he joins at level 19, in the one level up he gets, he's guaranteed to gain AT LEAST 1 point in every stat.
    Most Myrmidons/Swordmasters in the series can be considered "badass" on the surface level, but Karel goes above and beyond that.

      also, characters written to be strong either having no flaws or meaningless flaws. that does not make them strong. that makes them boring and unrelatable. in my opinion, strength is defined by circumventing or overcoming flaws, not lacking them. while i know little about eyvel, in terms of dedue, he is loyal to a fault. he treats himself as an extension of dimitri, and he makes sure others know it. in routes where dimitri dies and he lives, he makes dimitris goal his own (killing edelgard), and should he survive the battle, he is left with no purpose in life
      though to be honest, writing a character with the intention of being a strong character is a pitfall in itself. i write characters myself, and "strong" is never on my checklist of character traits. writers should just write the character the way they envisioned, then let the audience decide for themselves whether the character is strong or not

Given the amount of contribution he's given to the progression of FE4/5, his recognition is quite disproportional than what he deserves

    I'm glad that you highlighted Dedue. I think he's not only one of the best examples of a knight/retainer in the series. But he's also a great example of a character who suffered prejudice, and his struggle is handled realistically. We see on screen how he's treated, and how he feels like he deserves it and resolves to turn the other cheek. But deep down, he hates Faerghus for legitimate reasons, and it's only his love and loyalty for Dimitri that keeps him allied with the Kingdom. Through the game, both Dedue and the Blue Lions are able to become familiar with each other, and I think Dedue had numerous support conversation that demonstrate the growing bond between him and the other Lions over time.
    Small nitpick but he returned in AM chapter 16 not 18. He returned on the Great Bridge of Myrrdin chapter. Chapter 18 is the Fhirdiad chapter with Cornelia.

    FE7 Wallace was a serious badass for me despite the fact he's just an okay unit most of the time. He's a badass not just because he's a strong fighter, but he's also a truly compassionate man who isn't just some brute who's all brawn
    First: Hausen sent this guy to stop Madelyn and Hassar from eloping. He heard them out and let them go out of respect when he saw how much they truly loved each other despite knowing he'd get punished.
    Then consider his reputation years later when Lyn comes around: He was called out of retirement by the Lundgren to face off Lyn's group...alone. At this point in the story, Lyn's group has been wiping the floor with bandits, the Black Fang, and Caelin troops loyal to Lundgren. Lundgren is well aware of how serious of a threat Lyn's group is
    And he called in Wallace convinced that he could take out Lyn's group by himself. That should tell you something about his reputation for fighting.
    Fast forward a bit: This guy single-handedly wiped out all of the Taliver bandits who slaughtered Lyn's tribe all because he was loyal to Lyn and wanted her to not be consumed by her vendetta.
    Furthermore, when he shows back up in the middle of a foggy battlefield, he basically yells "COME AT ME BRO" to all the Black Fang in the area and then joins the heroes again upon learning they need some help
    This guy is a badass who is both ridiculously strong (story-wise at least) and a compassionate man and I feel that he's pretty underrated because he's ultimately a worse unit than Oswin and many prefer to pick up Geitz over him

    Really surprised Hector or lucina(or any awakening kids really) arent on here. Hector goes through so much personal and sacrifices half his life away to help his friend and lumina sees her dad die, comes back in time, helps him in the war all while doubting that she can really change anything (this also goes for most of the kids. Special mention to the kids that appear in fates).

      Eh, I hope you're not talking about the Fates Kids in the base game. They were so lame. I'm glad they were kinda redeemed by Heirs of Fate. I still don't think they should exist, but Shigure was 10x the character Azura could ever be in that DLC. I was also surprised by how much I ended up liking Ryoma's kid in that DLC too. What a total chad.

    I really like this! I would like to see more videos on characters such as Titania, Oswin, etc.

    Well, I'm an Eyvel fan now.
    Also, I'd love to see a part 2 at some point, maybe going over some of the badasses that are often overlooked as characters.

    Jagen telling Lang to square up is one of my favorite moments and a moment that really sticks out in my memory from playing New Mystery.

    First off, thank you so much for putting into words exactly why Dedue is one of my favorite characters (as well as my first husbando of Three Houses).
    Second, in regards to Miss Eyvel. When I summoned her by accident in Heroes, I thought she was quite intriguing, but sadly had no use for her, and ended up foddering her off for her Guard Sword+.
    After seeing this. . .my stars, what a fool I was. A renewed and fully bolstered respect for the leader of the Fianna Freeblades. I only hope I'll have a chance to summon her again.

    Yes, more Eyvel love. This is why I want a Genealogy/Thracia remake.

    Eyevel is a top ten character for me. Legit one of the greatest women in gaming.

    Dedue is a really cool guy. His dedication to Dimitri is quite admirable

    While my comprehension isn’t the best, if there’s one thing I can understand, I have gained a whole new understanding of what truly makes a badass than what it can be commonly misused and seen in pop culture
