I can't fucking believe the title drop meme is real here. There's definitely someone out there who jokingly went "I AM the Fire Emblem!" and then got to this point and was like "WAIT, I WAS RIGHT??"
It was actually really well foreshadowed when you see Marth go from having blue to red hair 😅 So at least there is an in-universe explanation for Alear's hair colour
@@agromchung There is an in-universe explanation for Alear's hair colour, but that isn't it. Alear was originally had just red hair being a Fell Dragon. When Alear died 1000 years prior, Lumera had imparted her Divine Energy into Alear which turned them into a Divine Dragon thus in-turn changing her hair and eye colour to being half-blue.
Alear engages with.... HERSELF?? No... that's impossible. But this unbelievable power. It could only mean.... that she IS the fire emblem! My fellow emblems, it's time to ENGAAAGGGEEE???
FE 1, 3 (+ 11 and 12) and 13: The Fire Emblem is a shield used to seal away the Earth Dragons, prevent Degeneration of dragons, defeat Grima, and as a literal shield FE 4 and 5: The Fire Emblem is a mark of justice. IDK much about this one FE 6 and 7: The Fire Emblem is a seal to, well, seal Idunn. FE 8: The Fire Emblem is a stone (later split into two) with the spirit of the Demon King sealed inside it. FE 9 and 10: The Fire Emblem is a medallion with Yune sealed inside it. FE 14: The Fire Emblem is the final form of the Yato Blade. TMS: The Fire Emblem is a song performed to summon Tiki. FEW: The Fire Emblem is a shield again. This time sealing away Velezark. FE3H: The Fire Emblem is a Crest created from Sothis's corpse, and grants use of the Sword of The Creator (also made from Sothis's corpse) FE Engage: The Fire Emblem is **you**
Now I can't tell what's more OP. Byleth attaining Sothis' power and becoming a god practically, or Alear becoming a physical Emblem after dying three times
@@theonesithtorulethemall Yeah but even characters like Roy have the power to split the continent. I don't think Alear has much else going for them other than raw power. Being the fire emblem doesn't make you a god either since it's technically the same as any other item with divinity.
@@sarthakarora3212 Or destroy the world, but that one's more rare. Honestly, it's impressive seeing how they can find a way to incorporate the name of the series in the games. I think this was the best reveal of the Fire Emblem in the series because not only is it a cool moment that's been building since the beginning of the game, but the Fire Emblem theme also plays during it.
@@ryandunham1047 yep they include The final Sacred stone that seals Formiitus in Sacred stones gets named the Fire emblem. The original which was an shield with the 5 gemstones that made starlight which is in FE1-3 and awakening The Yato blade in Revalations final form is also called the Fire emblem. In Tellius it’s the name of the medallion that sealed Yune (or her powers) inside and also awakens Ashera if war breaks out too much And two of them are imperial seals, in genealogy/Thracia it’s the imperial seal of Velthomer (Arvis’s home) And in FE6/7 it’s the imperial seal of Bern Crest of flames for 3H/hopes The only game it doesn’t exist in is Gaiden which makes sense it’s on an different continent entirely shortly after FE1 This includes spin-offs as TMS it’s the Opera of light is called the Fire emblem and in Warriors it’s pretty much the exact same as FE1 3 and awakening where it’s an shield with 5 gemstones
lol Alear is literally Corrin 2.0 Good mom that dies early in the game, Dragon Avatar that everyone loves, Evil Dragon Dad who is the main villain, the female character that is important to the plot is related to you
Alear is also like Link from Breath of the Wild. Both are the main protagonist, both were sleeping for eons because they were badly injured, and they have amnesia
And also both having a death/near-death experience after being attacked by a baddie (Garon as a dragon in Birthright, Anankos Takumi in Conquest) before the endgame.
That why I said it fate route disappointed prefer veyle was her future child and they had child mechanic but nope even fates at least children also kind of dowmgrade
@@MementoDespair Regarding FE avatar protagonists, Byleth really got screwed over by not being allowed to have actual dialogue. It almost makes it painful to them actually speaking in Three Hopes because they should have been allowed to do so in Three Houses (I still like Byleth, but they were really done dirty in their own game). I'm glad that FE abandoned that model and allowed Alear to actually be a character.
It's a shame we never got to see Alear and Veyle's dragon form. Alear's dragonstone shattered as seen at 4:54, and in Veyle's wake up support, she said she buried her stone somewhere.
@@postman6553 they didnt forget about it, players just forgot that alear gave their dragonstone to veyle and then it shattered when they died.

@@glitteringgabriel I guess I meant that they teased a dragon plotline with king morion asking about it, and alear wondering if she could, then resulting in nothing. To lock such a pivotal part of her character behind dlc would be tasteless.
We should put hero killer trope on Sombron’s folder given that he successfully killed Alear the main protagonist, making him the first main antagonist in fire emblem franchise to actually succeed in killing the main protagonist.
Well give him the award to get killed for nothing because he already said "i just want to search my soulmate, i wont destroy your world or other world, just lets be peace and part ways like a civil being" and still get killed 🤣
Hey guys? Maybe if you tried doing something besides standing around Alear wouldn’t have died and you wouldn’t have to worry about Veyle being turned evil again.
So... what exactly were they suppose to do? None of them are tanking a direct dark blast from an evil dragon, or even deflecting it. When a unit hits 0 hp, they can't be healed but they get some time to say final words. What could any of them have done? Seeing so few allies in the cutscenes is odd.
@@artken4901, Yep. Hakos Baelz of Hololive's Holocouncil. Heck, in fact, when Bae chose to do 'Fire Emblem Engage', Mika made artwork of her in Female Alear's attire!
I wouldn't mind if they made another game with this visuals of this one, with a tone similar to Three Houses. The combat felt really good because of the animations.
I’m sorry but this was the most funniest moment in fire emblem it’s like “ You are fire emblem no cap” and then you just crack up because it reminds you of kingdom hearts with friendship lasting forever
So Alear went from a Fell Dragon, to a half-dead Revenant (sock puppet of a spirit) of Lumera's will to see her alive, to a fully-undead Revenant of Veyle's will to see her alive, to (through the Emblems) a dubiously-dead Revenant of her own will to see herself alive. Like Byleth, but with extra steps, and making a bit more sense. xD
Veyle is the one antagonist who carries this game. She is to Engage what Edelgard was to Three Houses and what Dimitri was to Three Hopes. The central enemy who gets all the screen time, does all the work and is the coolest among the villains due to being the most fleshed out.
Not gonna lie, this was probably the best reveal for the Fire Emblem in any game. FE1, FE3, FE11, FE12, FE13: The Fire Emblem is known as the Binding Shield, which was forged by Naga to seal the Earth Dragons away as well as to prevent Manaketes from degenerating. It was stolen by the thief, Adrah, who sold its gemstones to found the Kingdom of Archanea, unknowingly wearing the seal. The shield itself became a royal treasure. It was later given to Marth who regained the Gemstones and used it in his fight against Medeus as well as to awaken Tiki. It was passed down through Marth’s descendants for thousands of years and along with the Falchion, it eventually became a royal treasure of Ylisse. Like the Falchion, it was broken at one point and reforged, but whatever changed isn’t really known. By the time Chrom comes around, the gemstones are distributed across Ylisse and Valm (formerly Valentia). FE2/FE15: There is no “Fire Emblem” in this game likely because the setting takes place very close to the Archanea games. The Valm arc of Awakening takes place on what used to be Valentia. FE4, FE5: The Fire Emblem is the crest of the House of Velthomer, home to the descendants of the Crusader Fjalar. Doesn’t serve any real purpose though. FE6, FE7: The Fire Emblem is the imperial seal of Bern. It’s needed for an heir to legally ascend to the throne of Bern. It is also used to enter the Shrine of Seals, which is where Roy gets the Binding Blade. FE8: The Fire Emblem is the Sacred Stone of Grado and contains the soul of the Demon King. All the Sacred Stones must be destroyed in order for the Demon King to return. FE9, FE10: The Fire Emblem is called Lehran’s Medallion. It contains the spirit of the “Dark God.” Later revealed to be Yune, Goddess of Chaos, who was sealed into it by Ashera, Goddess of Order. Touching the medallion can make someone go insane by amplifying their worst aspects. It ended up in the hands of a Daein priestess named Elena, but she was not affected by it because she had a perfect balance of order and chaos. It was later passed down to her daughter, Mist, who shared the same traits. FE14: The Fire Emblem is the Omega Yato, the final form of Corrin’s sword. FE16: The Fire Emblem is the Crest of Flames. One of the 22 Crests bestowed on by the Goddess of Fodlan. However, it hasn’t been seen for over a 1000 years since the death of Nemesis, its last bearer. At one point it was discovered that Byleth had a crest, but which crest it was unknown. It was later revealed to be the Crest of Flames after Byleth unleashed the power of the Sword of the Creator. FE17: The Fire Emblem is Alear. After dying, Alear is resurrected as a Corrupted. However, it didn’t last long and they died again. However this time, all twelve Emblems used their miracle and resurrected them as the 13th Emblem, the Fire Emblem. FEW: The Fire Emblem is the Shield of Flames. Basically a discount Binding Shield. It is needed to defeat the Chaos Dragon, Velezark. It requires five Gleamstones which are held within five heroes: Marth, Chrom, Corrin, Xander, and Ryoma. TMS: The Fire Emblem is the Opera of Light, used to summon the Divine Dragon, Naga. It is the counter to the Opera of Shadows, used to summon the Shadow Dragon, Medeus.
We don't know what the Fire Emblem is in Heroes, but it's implied to be Breidablik - a mystical artifact that opens paths between worlds and can be combined with things from adjacent lands (the Rite of Frost, Angrboða's Heart) to give it new properties in much the same fashion as the Yato. It is also associated with five orbs of different colors, similar to the Binding Shield and its gemstones.
I mean to be fair, Heroes is far from over, so Alfonse couldn’t exactly join right away, heck Veronica is still book 2 Veronica with the visage of book 6. And for Warriors, well there’s not a whole lot to work with there, so maybe it’s doesn’t get a lot of recognition
Three Houses Fire Emblem's is Byleth's blood, so technically he is the Fire Emblem of sorts in that game. I dont think Alear being the "Fire Emblem" is really that revolutionary
@Kin as someone said, Byleth in 3 Houses has the Crest of Flames - aka the Fire Emblem. So they are also technically the Fire Emblem. But really…I think, deep down, we are ALL the Fire Emblem. (I’m really sorry the joke was RIGHT THERE)
Fire Emblem Lords that ended up dead (regardless of whether or not they got revived): -Celica in the Echoes remake of Gaiden (stabbed by Alm wielding the Valentian Falchion, but was revived shortly after by Mila’s soul) -Sigurd from Genealogy of the Holy War (he and his army got framed for war crimes and then got burned by Arvis and his forces) -Chrom from Awakening (in the original timeline, before Lucina’s time traveling shenanigans, by the Grima-possessed Avatar) -Corrin (kinda) in the Birthright and Conquest versions of Fates (after getting attacked by Garon’s dragon form in the former and Anankos Takumi in the latter, sending them into near death experiences seeing some of the dead characters) -Alear (first by being shot in the gut by Sombron 1000 years earlier before confirming whether or not he was completely dead - causing them to go into a millennium long revival nap, second by taking an attack for Veyle and dying from severe wounds before being eventually brought back as a revenant Corrupted, and then third by running out of juice after re-summoning the Emblems while being a revenant Corrupted, but was revived shortly after by the Emblem Heroes performing The Miracle, making Alear a living Emblem - The Fire Emblem).
"I'm The Fire Emblem?" "Actually, where I come from The Fire Emblem was this Ancient Shield used to seal the Rampaging Earth Dragons and I had to go on a quest to restore its power---" "SHUT UP, NERD."
I really enjoy the concept and the over all story that I've seen through youtube. But I feel it would be better if the dialogue didn't drag on like crazy.
If they made a script where they actually said Alear's name so much, they should not have made the name changeable, so the VAs can actually say the name. Or at least bother to replace the name with anything else in the script instead of letting it hang.
Fallout 4 had a good alternative. Some names where supported by voice over (only by one character though) and others where replaced with the more generic Sir/Madam.
I actually wouldn't mind if they called the character Alear in voice acting. I think removing the awkward *insert name here* pauses in voice acting outweighs the need to name your character "toothpaste chan" or "Alear1", especially since the character has a canonical name that will be referenced in future media. If they need a name for online services, they can use the nintendo account.
To each their own. I actually like how Alear's hair and eyes have a story reason for being different colors, and the significance of what it means when one color overtakes the other.
And Celica was brought back to life by Mila transferring her life into Celica in the Echoes remake of Gaiden after being stabbed by Alm wielding the Valentian Falchion which happened to have Mila’s soul in it.
This reminded me of the time I used the master emerald to power up the chaos emeralds to turn them into the super emeralds and I became hyper sonic to defeat Yaldebout
I wonder why Sombron didn’t just smash Alear into ludicrous gibs or incinerate her to reduce her to a pile of ash after she died so that there would literally be no body that can either be resurrected or zombiefied, especially since Veyle is a necromancer. And on top of that, after Alear died, since he already declared Veyle a defect, why didn’t Sombron kill Veyle, too? Also, why does Veyle’s “Huh?” at 5:11 sound so cute?
if sombron did what you said then the heroes wood lose and die witch wood end the game right then and there and that cant be down mybe in paralle world it can
@@ssjgotenks2009 I mean, the first generation in Genealogy of the Holy War (which Sigurd was originally from) all ended up dying and Arvis (the bad guy) won. And unlike Awakening’s first generation, who only died in a bad future timeline, there was no time travel for the Genealogy of the Holy War second gen. I mean, shouldn’t a Fire Emblem game change up the formula by actually having the villain winning?
I think of Engage’s writing as “glimmers of potential brilliance for a darker, more complex story that get utterly wasted in the story we ended up getting.” Like…die protecting little sister, who then ends up RESURRECTING YOU AS A RENEVANT WITH FELL DRAGON POWER IN DESPERATION, and then you end up dying AGAIN anyway. It’s so twisted and creepy and…ends up not being so. I REALLY wanted it to be creepy and disturbing and sad.
11:46 “I guess Fell Dragons have to die in the end, but I wanted to be a good Dragon” I physically cringed when I heard this line for the first time. This may be some of the worst dialogue I’ve ever heard. And this entire sequence of events is an asspull by the writers that makes absolutely no sense.
Why does this remind me of Nia's stituation in Xenoblade 2 started as a traitor, is a party member, and late in their games turns out to be a weapon manifestation
The fact that Alear turning into Emblem being a special, one time only deal made it feels... Meh to me. Like, I'd like it better if becoming an Emblem does not require being the chosen one and all you need to do is just revive a dead hero with necromancy and binding them into rings. Imagine Veyle and Alear both freaking out because they expected a mindless zombie but instead got a full blown heroic spirit because Veyle unknowingly perfected her necromancy. And then the other Emblems just out and said "Well yeah duh, that's how you make an Emblem Ring. How do you think we were created?" That'd be a huge "Damn when you put it that way it makes perfect sense" moment for me.
Even though the other Emblems make it explicitly clear multiple times that they aren't the original heroes and instead are representations of their heroic spirits? Becoming an Emblem doesn't require being the chosen one, or else Ike wouldn't be one. Instead it seems to require having had such a profound effect on their world of origin that their spirit is immortalized as a hero that other worlds can draw upon for hope and inspiration.
Plus, Alear didn't become an emblem because they were the chosen one They became an emblem because the other emblems wished it so. They have that ability and they could've used it on anyone, but they used it on Alear for what they had done up to this point, and what they meant to the world and to them

FE4, FE5: The Fire Emblem is the crest of the House of Velthomer, home to the descendants of the Crusader Fjalar. Doesn’t serve any real purpose though.
FE6, FE7: The Fire Emblem is the imperial seal of Bern. It’s needed for an heir to legally ascend to the throne of Bern. It is also used to enter the Shrine of Seals, which is where Roy gets the Binding Blade.
FE8: The Fire Emblem is the Sacred Stone of Grado and contains the soul of the Demon King. All the Sacred Stones must be destroyed in order for the Demon King to return.
FE9, FE10: The Fire Emblem is called Lehran’s Medallion. It contains the spirit of the “Dark God.” Later revealed to be Yune, Goddess of Chaos, who was sealed into it by Ashera, Goddess of Order. Touching the medallion can make someone go insane by amplifying their worst aspects. It ended up in the hands of a Daein priestess named Elena, but she was not affected by it because she had a perfect balance of order and chaos. It was later passed down to her daughter, Mist, who shared the same traits.
FE14: The Fire Emblem is the Omega Yato, the final form of Corrin’s sword.
FE16: The Fire Emblem is the Crest of Flames. One of the 22 Crests bestowed on by the Goddess of Fodlan. However, it hasn’t been seen for over a 1000 years since the death of Nemesis, its last bearer. At one point it was discovered that Byleth had a crest, but which crest it was unknown. It was later revealed to be the Crest of Flames after Byleth unleashed the power of the Sword of the Creator.
FE17: The Fire Emblem is Alear. After dying, Alear is resurrected as a Corrupted. However, it didn’t last long and they died again. However this time, all twelve Emblems used their miracle and resurrected them as the 13th Emblem, the Fire Emblem.
FEW: The Fire Emblem is the Shield of Flames. Basically a discount Binding Shield. It is needed to defeat the Chaos Dragon, Velezark. It requires five Gleamstones which are held within five heroes: Marth, Chrom, Corrin, Xander, and Ryoma.
TMS: The Fire Emblem is the Opera of Light, used to summon the Divine Dragon, Naga. It is the counter to the Opera of Shadows, used to summon the Shadow Dragon, Medeus.
We don't know what the Fire Emblem is in Heroes, but it's implied to be Breidablik - a mystical artifact that opens paths between worlds and can be combined with things from adjacent lands (the Rite of Frost, Angrboða's Heart) to give it new properties in much the same fashion as the Yato. It is also associated with five orbs of different colors, similar to the Binding Shield and its gemstones.
I HATE how every protagonist was going in release order and then Byleth messed it up
I mean to be fair, Heroes is far from over, so Alfonse couldn’t exactly join right away, heck Veronica is still book 2 Veronica with the visage of book 6. And for Warriors, well there’s not a whole lot to work with there, so maybe it’s doesn’t get a lot of recognition
typical byleth smh
Now she can say "fire emblem, engage" literally
I must engage the emblems!
No Alear, you are the emblems
And then Alear was an emblem
This scene still gives me chills
Metroid Dread - Samus be a Metroid
Fire Emblem Engage - Alear be an Emblem
What next? Link finally gonna be Zelda?
Why the named it legend of zelda when it's link who did the heavy lifting
@@haroldnecmann7040 Yeah like did we even get a game that features zelda alone and the character that you'll be playing as, like Super Princess Peach?
@@haroldnecmann7040 Because the Legend of Link doesn't sound nearly as good.
@@zimonzieclown1633 but adventure of link
@@ArjunTheRageGuy well...
Does this make Alear the new face of FE? Think about it, Alear is THE Fire Emblem even amongst all the other protagonists, damn
Keep in mind that if Awakening didn’t succeed, this game would have never been a thing. So this could mean a new age for Fire Emblem.
Three Houses Fire Emblem's is Byleth's blood, so technically he is the Fire Emblem of sorts in that game. I dont think Alear being the "Fire Emblem" is really that revolutionary
@@insertenombreoriginal5897 so is Edelgard. Every game has their own version of the Fire Emblem.
Edelgard is kinda like Kamen Rider Decade or Zio in nutshell.
They use power of past protagonist and bring limelight of it
@Kin as someone said, Byleth in 3 Houses has the Crest of Flames - aka the Fire Emblem. So they are also technically the Fire Emblem.
But really…I think, deep down, we are ALL the Fire Emblem.
(I’m really sorry the joke was RIGHT THERE)
Yay Alear becomes the Blue hair anime Emblem too!!!
Imagine someone going through the game and tried to name Alear John Emblem or something and then finally getting to this part of the game.
Fire Emblem Lords that ended up dead (regardless of whether or not they got revived):
-Celica in the Echoes remake of Gaiden (stabbed by Alm wielding the Valentian Falchion, but was revived shortly after by Mila’s soul)
-Sigurd from Genealogy of the Holy War (he and his army got framed for war crimes and then got burned by Arvis and his forces)
-Chrom from Awakening (in the original timeline, before Lucina’s time traveling shenanigans, by the Grima-possessed Avatar)
-Corrin (kinda) in the Birthright and Conquest versions of Fates (after getting attacked by Garon’s dragon form in the former and Anankos Takumi in the latter, sending them into near death experiences seeing some of the dead characters)
-Alear (first by being shot in the gut by Sombron 1000 years earlier before confirming whether or not he was completely dead - causing them to go into a millennium long revival nap, second by taking an attack for Veyle and dying from severe wounds before being eventually brought back as a revenant Corrupted, and then third by running out of juice after re-summoning the Emblems while being a revenant Corrupted, but was revived shortly after by the Emblem Heroes performing The Miracle, making Alear a living Emblem - The Fire Emblem).

...
STOP POSTING ABOUT AMONGOS!!!
AMOGOS-
Alear with big "I am all the Jedi" energy.
So in the end we were truly Fire Emblem Engage™ all along?
Sombron really should've asked for more HP and a 100% hit rate instead.
I wish smash would portray Fire Emblem characters like this. They’re all not just “anime swordies” if you hear the backstory
Exactly. Smash had so much more potential but they always favored DLC so much more.
The emblem's really said "one of us, one of us" lol
Wow. The voice acting for the English dub is pretty solid!
"It's you Alear! You're the Fire Emblem Engage!"
29:18 okay am i not the only one who heard the Mario galaxy title theme right?
Doesn’t Sombron’s dragon form kind of remind anyone of Jafar’s cobra form from Disney’s Aladdin?
Iago dragon coming soon
Now that you mention it... it kinda does look like that, doesn't it?
Also, look at his tail. It can grip and has “fingers” and a “thumb”.
The cheese, you can spread it on thick. And oh, such cheese it is.
Alear became the Fire Emblem!
Dang, I thought they could do the Miracle again, but with thirteen needing to agree instead of twelve...
When she said I’m the fire emblem I immediately thought, “roll credits” 😂
"I'm The Fire Emblem?"
"Actually, where I come from The Fire Emblem was this Ancient Shield used to seal the Rampaging Earth Dragons and I had to go on a quest to restore its power---"
"SHUT UP, NERD."
I really enjoy the concept and the over all story that I've seen through youtube.
But I feel it would be better if the dialogue didn't drag on like crazy.
mfw I realised all the characters at the title screen were not saying "Fire Emblem: Engage" but rather, "Fire Emblem, Engage!"
If they made a script where they actually said Alear's name so much, they should not have made the name changeable, so the VAs can actually say the name.
Or at least bother to replace the name with anything else in the script instead of letting it hang.
The name changes depending in what you choose. Everyone chooses to name the character Alear.
Fallout 4 had a good alternative.
Some names where supported by voice over (only by one character though) and others where replaced with the more generic Sir/Madam.
It would have been a nice touch if anyone who named the Avatar "Alear" (me) would get the name voiced.
@@HimboImpulse please tell me you're not so dumb that you didn't understand what i said.
I actually wouldn't mind if they called the character Alear in voice acting. I think removing the awkward *insert name here* pauses in voice acting outweighs the need to name your character "toothpaste chan" or "Alear1", especially since the character has a canonical name that will be referenced in future media. If they need a name for online services, they can use the nintendo account.
Man I wish Alear had purely blue or red hair because it's objectively better than what we got
Facts.
Yep,at least she is now blue lord haired chan and not toothpaste chan
To each their own. I actually like how Alear's hair and eyes have a story reason for being different colors, and the significance of what it means when one color overtakes the other.
I like blue and red together more than the traditional blue haired lord for this one tbh
I also like the red and blue hair and eyes. I mix of good and bad
IMO, Alear should've stayed fully blue-haired from now on, at least outside of the bad ending.
And that's how Toothpaste chan got engaged
FIRE EMBLEM ENGAGED
That explains the Colgate hair...
The title looks like a meme, but it is really what happened, and it was hype! 🔥🔥
Now that's an emotional soundtrack!
14:53
Pokemon scarlet and violet with no voice acting be like:I gonna pretend i didnt see this 🤫
Pokemon masters porfs voice acting works with pokemon
Sorry to argue with you Marth Robin came back from death after defeating grima and awakening
And Celica was brought back to life by Mila transferring her life into Celica in the Echoes remake of Gaiden after being stabbed by Alm wielding the Valentian Falchion which happened to have Mila’s soul in it.
This.... this is the absolute campiest thing I've ever seen... why do I love it? WHY DO I LOVE IT?!
Because comedy is the highest form of art
This is so cheesy, I love it
This reminded me of the time I used the master emerald to power up the chaos emeralds to turn them into the super emeralds and I became hyper sonic to defeat Yaldebout
the magical moment she became full blue 🥲
While the other 12 are fire emblems, Alear became the true Fire Emblem.
Son : Mom i want emblem Marth!
Mom : No son we have emblem at home.
Emblem at home : 😳
I wonder why Sombron didn’t just smash Alear into ludicrous gibs or incinerate her to reduce her to a pile of ash after she died so that there would literally be no body that can either be resurrected or zombiefied, especially since Veyle is a necromancer. And on top of that, after Alear died, since he already declared Veyle a defect, why didn’t Sombron kill Veyle, too?
Also, why does Veyle’s “Huh?” at 5:11 sound so cute?
if sombron did what you said then the heroes wood lose and die witch wood end the game right then and there and that cant be down mybe in paralle world it can
@@ssjgotenks2009 I mean, the first generation in Genealogy of the Holy War (which Sigurd was originally from) all ended up dying and Arvis (the bad guy) won. And unlike Awakening’s first generation, who only died in a bad future timeline, there was no time travel for the Genealogy of the Holy War second gen.
I mean, shouldn’t a Fire Emblem game change up the formula by actually having the villain winning?
@@TMX1138 Just play Warhammer 40k if you want grimdark stuff.
@@TMX1138no it wood kill the game and fe heroes have to win Japan won't like vsllind winning
@@leosnyder5264Japan doesn’t like villains winning?
I think of Engage’s writing as “glimmers of potential brilliance for a darker, more complex story that get utterly wasted in the story we ended up getting.” Like…die protecting little sister, who then ends up RESURRECTING YOU AS A RENEVANT WITH FELL DRAGON POWER IN DESPERATION, and then you end up dying AGAIN anyway. It’s so twisted and creepy and…ends up not being so. I REALLY wanted it to be creepy and disturbing and sad.
There's 13 emblems now, I wonder if someone would use alear in a new FE game, maybe even add more emblems?
how tf has no one gone:
THE FIRE EMBLEM!!!!!
THE FIRE EMBLEM IS REAL!!!!!
imagine fire emblem heroes where we get alear legendary fire emblem form
Unite us! ...... Fire Emblem of Engage!!!
I'm still sad we can't get this dress for playable Veyle.
Maybe in Heroes.
@@zimonzieclown1633 if that’s the case, probably on the fallen banner next year
THE FIRE EMBLEM
THE FIRE EMBLEM IS REALLLL
she said the word! roll the credit!
WAIT BYLETH IS IN THIS GAME? HOLY FUCK
29:56 near the end of this part I said out loud “Rhea be like” and then 30:06
We can’t say I am the Fire Emblem anymore as joke guys
"It's funny because it's true" is a thing.
11:46 “I guess Fell Dragons have to die in the end, but I wanted to be a good Dragon”
I physically cringed when I heard this line for the first time. This may be some of the worst dialogue I’ve ever heard. And this entire sequence of events is an asspull by the writers that makes absolutely no sense.
it doses make secne she was ocn eivl but want be good it make sernce
Mfs when the Emotionally Stunt Character is Emotional Stunt: 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
@@AzureAreadbhar Fire Emblem dick riders when terrible writing gets criticised: 😭😭😭
Aww, Alear and Veyle in Hell is so tragic! >
It's more limbo than hell, though.
31:05 he said the word
She says guys, she says the thing!
Y’know something Alear, all things considered, you could really say this was the Fire Emblem Engage.
And I thought it was corny when Three Houses' Fire Emblem turned out to be Byleth's heart
Wait, so... um... if there were another Dragon who could use Emblems, could they just infinitely resurrect Alear?
There are no more Dragons capable of doing that, though.
Engage's story isn't great but I'll be damned if hearing the main theme in this scene wasn't hype as fuck.
Why does this remind me of Nia's stituation in Xenoblade 2
started as a traitor, is a party member, and late in their games turns out to be a weapon manifestation
She looks a lot better in all blue.
As lame as some of the story was in engage. I did like the parallel of Lumera and Alear's death
anybody know the name of the ost at 16:12 ?
The hair turn into blue
The fact that Alear turning into Emblem being a special, one time only deal made it feels... Meh to me. Like, I'd like it better if becoming an Emblem does not require being the chosen one and all you need to do is just revive a dead hero with necromancy and binding them into rings.
Imagine Veyle and Alear both freaking out because they expected a mindless zombie but instead got a full blown heroic spirit because Veyle unknowingly perfected her necromancy. And then the other Emblems just out and said "Well yeah duh, that's how you make an Emblem Ring. How do you think we were created?" That'd be a huge "Damn when you put it that way it makes perfect sense" moment for me.
Even though the other Emblems make it explicitly clear multiple times that they aren't the original heroes and instead are representations of their heroic spirits?
Becoming an Emblem doesn't require being the chosen one, or else Ike wouldn't be one. Instead it seems to require having had such a profound effect on their world of origin that their spirit is immortalized as a hero that other worlds can draw upon for hope and inspiration.
Plus, Alear didn't become an emblem because they were the chosen one
They became an emblem because the other emblems wished it so. They have that ability and they could've used it on anyone, but they used it on Alear for what they had done up to this point, and what they meant to the world and to them
