Did anyone else notice that Gilbert's design is a clear nod to Ramza from Final Fantasy Tactics (PSX / PSP)? Hopefully these references will make people more familiar with Yasumi Matsuno's work. Not to mention that the music for the mission to recapture the coliseum is also a homage to the "Accretion Disk" theme from the Ogre series.
For the question at 1:35 . When you execute or refuse a character, the game then gives you either items, gold(war funds), or divine shards to "compensate". The rewards depend on the characters, and range from absolutely trash compared to the characters you are losing . For Sharon and Ochlys you trade a cleric and a feathersword in Cornia for a hallowed mace... that you can buy for 5000 gold in the same town. But if you imprison gammel and execute Mandrin you get a bunch of divine shards, enough to quick start a trinity rain team with the trinity scepter and a white cat hood.
You choose Dinah cause she is an amazing unit and good character I chose her because she reminds me to Krystal from Starfox Adventures We are not the same
Travis, Berengaria, and Selvie made up the core of my primary execution squad with the remaining two slots being flexible. I think ultimately, an elf archer and a mercenary would complete the team. Virginia was a hard carry for another squad, and Alain proved to be more than competent. And I'm honestly impressed by how much the fight happy arena chick did for additional world building with her few supports.
I still wish Amalia had gotten more conversations, the final characters you get barely get anything, especially sad cause I feel Bryce, Fodoquia and Amalia are cool, they just needed a bit more
I added Bruno to that Squad (cause it made sense) and later Tatiana. Simply to get pesky stuns out of the way and to have a use for the only staff that allows Clerics to attack.^^
@@TheGameShelf Amalia is best girl. Managed to get her clearing the arena with a team in the mid twenties. It was a lot of work setting up the team. Evasion Tank Berengaria is just a MENACE and Railanor is brutal. Then there is Yahna giving the right buffs for the right occassion and Scarlett's Curtain Call healing with Alain being Alain through out the fights.
You'll miss Gilbert by starting from the south gate only if you start the mission without having met him at the north fort first. If you do that, then you can start the mission from the south gate and still recruit him afterwards. This is an important distinction.
I saw someone mention before that Renault's fake name was an anagram, and the first thing I thought was "neutral". Dunno if that was intentional with his character or not tho lol Edit: I'm still on my first playthrough, but I ended up marrying Melisandre in this one as she quickly became one of my top few characters
So the reason why you can execute characters seems to be a remnant from earlier scripts where there were party members who were mutually exclusive, but due to how long the game promised to be Vanillaware made it so you could get everyone.
Finally, someone else who likes Gammel. He's easily one of my top three favorite characters in the game. Most people I see who mention Gammel all say they would never spare him and never give him so much as a chance.
I won't deny I used to be like that, but when he returns in the Celeste mission as a villain and then I found out he's actually recruitable I couldn't help but want to see him as an ally, AND DUDE I'm so glad I did
For me this is a great game that hit the FE itch. Also I really loved Engage, granted the characters weren't as deep as other game but they were still enjoyable and satisfying to use imo. As for my favorite units in UO, Hilda was a beast gameplay wise, Virginia of course is best girl, just the cousin thing, I really liked Yahna, Rosalinde, Eltolinde, Chloe, Nina, Clive, Travis, Berengaria, and Ochlys too.Oh and we can't forget Amalia either.
He's missable if you fail to get Aramis, refuse to talk about Aramis secret, or attack soldraga without coordinating with him after the defense chapter. The front gate is fine to use as long as you have the side gate mission unlocked.
Liza is one of my best characters! She's heading up an all archer squad and is my go to flier and high evasion breaker groups. Between Rolfs follow ups, Yunifi nuking, and the extra healing and support that Chloe and Ridiel bring, it's a solid team! Plus her personality is really good. Since her brother was a fuck up and got himself mind controlled, it's up to her to lead the group he left behind, and is understandably a little hesitant to believe Magellan that he turned over so quickly. She's rad. Also a really big fan of all the desert gang in general. Magellan, Gloucester, and Aubin are all really cool and fun characters. Gloucester especially with them Dark Flames ripping into people with help from Berengaria and Selvie.
Oh good, my first impression of Gloucester's class was so bad, it wasn't until I decided to put him in a team for shits and giggles and he absolutely tore everyone apart And I agree! The entire desert gang are such good and fun characters, I think Drakenhold is my favorite part in the whole game
2:09 correction, you miss him if you dont talk to him before the mission, which side you start at is irrelevant, though he will always be standing at the east gate so in order to talk to him you need to go there first (you dont have to start the mission)
I really love Chloe too, she has a very cute friendship with Ridiel and overall she's a very sweet person, I also think she has a better "childhood friend" dynamic with Alain than Scarlett As I said in the video Clive is also very cool, and Monica is likable too DEFINITELY love Sharon and Ochlys, really cute"omg they were roommates" relationship they had going on Rosalinde is very fun and she almost made it to the list too I like Nina as a unit and her relationship with the Rock Rats The entire desert gang are so damn cool I could honestly keep going lmao, almost all the characters in the game have something I like, I think the only playable character I dislike is Sanatio lmao
Pair Selvie with Travis and Berengaria (i threw in Sharon and Bruno to round things out). Guard Seal is an affliction, so Selvie Def Curses frontrow, Travis blinds backrow, Berengaria and Bruno clean house. Literally bullying with afflictions. My vote for most broken unit is Yunifi. Even without Glacial Rain, built in Magical Conferral, free damage (Sonic Shaft), a 1 PP TRIPLE COUNTER with high evasion, and Freeze follow-up is stupid. Opponent literally cant do anything because the moment an attack defrosts them, they are instant frozen again.
Funny enough given the Witch hip-swing animation I genuinely thought Yahna was gonna be the "iconic" character everyone was gonna talk about when bringing up this game, I think I've seen more people talk about Virginia, Berengaria and Amalia But yeah Yahna is great, very fun character
@@TheGameShelf controversial opinion but I'd put her above Berengaria and Amalia, maybe not Virginia but she's high up for me for sure! especially personality and dialogue, she's just funny but without being total comedic relief, really badass
Josef may not be a good supporter but he will support your goals and be with you all the way Best Dad Also one thing how come his the only one who got his hair turned old like everyone else still have young hair does Zenoria have something to stop aging?
@@HectorT52 Not really because two of the queen allies in the prologue joined Zenoria because one wanted Alian grandpa D and the other one lost faith in his kingdom
That Daigo Kiwami 2-esque jacket looks so fucking good on you 😭😭 Adorable as always. Also the video is great! (Again, as always) Maybe I should play the game finally 🤭
She always makes me think of Billy Joel's song Only The Good Die Young. "Come out, Virginia, don't let me wait; you Catholic girls start much too late..."
It is weird that this game gives you 2 of the most irredimable units at the start of the game, also it seemed like it was a question of getting orchyst and sharon or the hunter guy so I thought I had to kill him.
BIG TIDDY DARK ELF?
SAY NO MORE, I'M SOLD
every single one of my friends who enjoyed FE have been RAVING about this game and I get why. It seems incredible! Great work on the vid!
Yesss it's so good! I really hope you can play it soon, and thanks for the comment, it always helps!

I DID. FFT is my favorite game and Ramza is one of my favorite characters.
I only used him for that reason :😋

Berengaria is my queen! A badass, fun, and strong unit, with a banging design
You choose Dinah cause she is an amazing unit and good character
I chose her because she reminds me to Krystal from Starfox Adventures
We are not the same

Ok I finished it now, AWESOME VIDEO DUDE, this game genuinely looks incredible
13:33 No don't worry dude, I completely understand
Agree
Nice list. Main squad for me is Alain, Berengaria or Railanor and Amalia in the front with Yahna and Scarlett in the back.
So the reason why you can execute characters seems to be a remnant from earlier scripts where there were party members who were mutually exclusive, but due to how long the game promised to be Vanillaware made it so you could get everyone.

Props for avoiding the alabama allegations.
The what??
@@greatrulo watch his number 1 pick, he explains well enough.
?!
I mean, Virginia is good as a unit. But as a waifu, eh... Would, but not marry
@@greatrulopsst, Virginia, psst
Idk how the heck you pump out quality videos so fast 😂. It’s inspiring
Well to be fair, my other job is very inconsistent, so whenever I don't have a shift there I go full steam on my videos
@@TheGameShelf I need that motivation lol. When I have a day off, working is like the last thing on my mind.
Awesome video!
Just lack of my Queen... The other Beren .. ❤
If anything, she was in the team with Gilbert and was amazing at her role, she's very cool

Opinions on any other units? I'd like to see More Top 10 Unicorn Overlord Characters.
I really love Chloe too, she has a very cute friendship with Ridiel and overall she's a very sweet person, I also think she has a better "childhood friend" dynamic with Alain than Scarlett
As I said in the video Clive is also very cool, and Monica is likable too
DEFINITELY love Sharon and Ochlys, really cute"omg they were roommates" relationship they had going on
Rosalinde is very fun and she almost made it to the list too
I like Nina as a unit and her relationship with the Rock Rats
The entire desert gang are so damn cool
I could honestly keep going lmao, almost all the characters in the game have something I like, I think the only playable character I dislike is Sanatio lmao
I wish your videos got more views, you are such a likeable and chill dude
I wish so too really haha, it's really rough out there
But I genuinely appreciate your support and comments like these, they help me keep motivated!
The Game has Legolas, Galadriel, Leia, some Hochentias snd other references (queens blade and such)
I haven't played this yet, but I love Fire Emblem and now I want to play this!!!
Oh trust me when you get to it it's gonna be so worth it! Genuinely incredible game, let me know when you play it!
Pair Selvie with Travis and Berengaria (i threw in Sharon and Bruno to round things out). Guard Seal is an affliction, so Selvie Def Curses frontrow, Travis blinds backrow, Berengaria and Bruno clean house. Literally bullying with afflictions.

All hail Virginia, your cousin that acts like your sister and looks like your mom.
Spoilers for #1:
Me
LOL, I lost my shit when you talked about romancing the number one pick. Of all things to copy from Fire Emblem...
Fun fact, Virginia shares voice actress with Saeko from Like a Dragon, she has such a cool voice
Yahna is criminally underrated and belongs on lists like this more often IMHO
Funny enough given the Witch hip-swing animation I genuinely thought Yahna was gonna be the "iconic" character everyone was gonna talk about when bringing up this game, I think I've seen more people talk about Virginia, Berengaria and Amalia
But yeah Yahna is great, very fun character
@@TheGameShelf controversial opinion but I'd put her above Berengaria and Amalia, maybe not Virginia but she's high up for me for sure! especially personality and dialogue, she's just funny but without being total comedic relief, really badass
Dont have the game yet but planning on getting it, someday!
You will not regret it, it's so good
Josef may not be a good supporter but he will support your goals and be with you all the way
Best Dad
Also one thing how come his the only one who got his hair turned old like everyone else still have young hair does Zenoria have something to stop aging?
He is the only one that got to deal with the stress since he was not possesed and in the resistance
@@HectorT52 Not really because two of the queen allies in the prologue joined Zenoria because one wanted Alian grandpa D and the other one lost faith in his kingdom
@@fakenamezenkil2232 Yeah, that is why I said not possesed and in the resistance
Alain, my son. It is time to pick a wife to be queen of Cornia. You can choose:
Your childhood friend
Elf twins
Or a doggy that hates humans.
Alain: 🦊
"Nooo you don't getting Joseph, she's a really good unit, I'm only doing it for the stats boosts haha"
That Daigo Kiwami 2-esque jacket looks so fucking good on you 😭😭 Adorable as always.
Also the video is great! (Again, as always) Maybe I should play the game finally 🤭
Thanks a lot dude, really appreciate it
And yeah I love my jacket a lot lol, I'm so happy I got it at a discount
hilda the dragon rider are cool and intimidating at the same time
Pretty sure I gor Gilbert and went through the main gate instead of his one.
I think the requirement is actually the scene with Ludwig instead.
ngl pretty much neuron activation for me too when I first beheld Railanor 😂
*Sees Railanor as first wife*
HE JUST LIKE ME FR
We are simple men with simple tastes
Whenever I think of the name Virginia I also imagine frieza saying it like that!
She always makes me think of Billy Joel's song Only The Good Die Young. "Come out, Virginia, don't let me wait; you Catholic girls start much too late..."
You mean I missed Gilbert? What!?
I laugh a lot, neuron activation when i saw verga, digo berengaria
