Get Sword of Convallaria here! bit.ly/4fnvScS Join the Sand-made Scales event and uncover a brand-new chapter in Spiral of Destinies! Team up with Acambe to build the Convallaria Trading Post and become a commerce master.
Great video Ghast! But small inaccuracy at 5:57 : Machuya isn't the first female axe-wielding unit. Lachesis can wield axes after promotion in FE4. Granted, there is absolutely no reason to ever do that in a game dominated by swords, but still.
I still find Houses makning the base game brawling classes gender locked pretty ridiculous. Even with War Cleric it always feels weird trying to use a character like Catherine as a Brawling unit outside of just using gauntlets with unintended classes. Oh and also welcome back, glad to hear the land lord boss battle was successful.
This discussion made me realize that Idunn was the first female dragon/Manakete to become a final boss. Until finally Rhea comes in and continues this long forgotten "archetype"
There is, I saw a playthrough where Warp Ragnarok was Lodestar Ush and is funny cuz the Teleport sequence plays but withou the camera angles so Celine just point blank tps and shoots
One notable difference in Gaiden and Echoes that wasn't mentioned is promotion levels. In general, melee classes can promote starting at level 7, then 10, then 10, and magic and flyer classes can promote starting at level 12. However, female mages are different. In Echoes, female mages can't promote until level 14, and in Gaiden they can't promote until all the way to level 20. This is, of course, unless you use some kind of patch (the Echoes remove gender lock class patch is really good).
Male Pegasus Knights actually exist in fe3, but only as enemies. They have a different sprite than the female ones and wear a helmet. This is notably a bit weird since there are no named characters at all that use it.
IIRC male Pegasus Knight can sometimes appear in skirmishes in Three Houses as well, using the generic mercenary class icon given the male units were never intended to use it (not unlike Hilda's female War Master replacement from Azure Moon).
I think the gender differences in Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes are also a pretty big thing to note as there are some pretty stark differences, though it is a spinoff and not mainline, and also the wikis SUCK for this, so I don't expect anyone to talk about it lol In terms of classes, the Pegasus Knight, Falcon Knight, and Gremory are locked to female units. While the Brawler, Grappler, War Master, Dark Mage, and Dark Bishop are all locked to male units. The unique classes of Saint (though it is just a female variant of Mortal Savant with unique skills), Armored Lord, and Emperor are exclusive to female characters. And the unique classes of Death Knight (A version of Dark Knight with enhanced abilities), High Lord, Great Lord, Wyvern Master and Barbarossa are exclusive to male characters Due to how the weapon ranks work in Three Hopes, you unlock a class as you unlock the next level of weapon rank depending on what weapon that class uses. (IE, an advanced class that uses axes will unlock B rank axes). However female classes don't learn any classes that wield gauntlets aside from the beginner Fighter class, so instead they will automatically be given A+ in gauntlets when unlocking Great Knight, Wyvern Lord or Bow Knight. This also means that the skills learned in these classes are gender exclusives: For Pegasus and Falcon Knight: Their class abilities of Alert Stance and Alert Stance+, and the learned skills of Pegasus Knight's Ploy, Pegasus Knight's Wisdom, Darting Blow, Harmonious Specials, Sol, Speed Catalyst, Tableturner, Muster and Item Expertise. However, the two lance combat arts learned exclusively by that class, Stormblade and Lance Jab, can be taught to any male character by Ingrid. For Gremory: Their class ability Bow Breaker 4 is exclusive purely to their class, and their learned skills of Flare, Magic Attack Range+, Defiant Magic, Ice Assist, Fire Assist, Dark Assist, Lightning Assist and Light Assist. For Dark Mage and Dark Bishop: Their class abilities of Miasma Δ, Impair, Cavalry Buster 3 & Lv 4 are exclusive, with Miasma Δ also being exclusive to male characters excluding Lysithea. Their learned skills are Dark Mage's Ploy, Dark Mage's Wisdom, Essence of Darkness, Poison Strike, Transmute, Lifetaker, Impossible Feat, Covenant, Absorb Strength, Absorb Magic, Absorb Dex, Absorb Speed, Absorb Luck, Absorb Defense, Absorb Resistance, and Absorb Charm. For Brawlers, Grapplers, and War Masters: Their class abilities of Tome Buster Lv 2, 3, & Lv 4, and Shatter are exclusive, and their learned skills Brawler's Ploy, Brawler's Wisdom, Brawling Prowess (All 3 levels), Concentration, Underdog, Apex Gauntlet, Rejuvenation, Boost Critical, Piercing Cry, Piercing Gaze, Quick Reposte, and Tomebreaker. The combat arts learned by Raphael and Balthus, Draining Blow, Mystic Blow, Lightning Fist, Steady Stance, Frozen Fist, Fierce Iron Fist, Mighty Blow, and Flamewhorl Kick can be taught to any character. As well as the 3 combat arts, Rushing Blow, Dual Devastators, and Battle Trance can be learned by all characters. The combat art Whirlwind Kick is exclusive to male characters however. Leonie's Rivalry skill also is back, but instead of giving her damage and damage reduction, it will boost her Warrior Gauge fill rate when a male ally is nearby or her adjutaunt. Sylvain's Philanderer Skill (Renamed to Adept Flirt) is the same, accept it fills his Awakening Gauge. Hilda's Advocate skill now fills her Adjutant, aptly named Adjutant Gauge and increases the Adjutant follow up damage she does when paired with a male ally as their Adjutant back up support. Seteth's Gaurdian skill however has been changed and no longer has anything to do with the gender of the characters, instead healing other units nearby when picking up healing items regardless of their gender. I believe that's everything in Three Hopes. I have...Way too much time in this game but I might've missed something.
Slight correction about Fates' personal skills around 15:20. Siegbert's Gallant anf Forrest's Fierce Counter are also gender depemdant. Gallant requires a female as the lead Pair Up unit, and Fierce Counter requires a male enemy to initiate combat Can't say I blame the oversight since Fates' kids' petsonal skills are often overlooked, but I figured it should be pointed out since you remembered Sisterhood and Daydream.
Siegbert’s personal skill, “Gallant,” boosts a female ally’s damage by +2 when she is the leading unit in a pair with him (when Siegbert is backpacking).
I remember that Awakening also had the gender-locked DLC classes of Bride and Dread Fighter! Didn’t know dread fighters dropped being male-only in fates tbh. It was really cool to watch all the differences throughout the franchise!!
I AM BACK WITH A BIG TRIVIA VIDEO!! Thank you all so much for your support! What is YOUR favorite gender quirk/difference in Fire Emblem? Any of yours I didn't mention in the video itself? I hope you learned something fun!
In FE5, it's not that "male archers" have +1 mov, it's just ronan having a bonus of +1 mov at base, to make him a tad different. if you randomise the game, the male archers you get have 6 mov. And said randomiser also specifies that some units can roll with a +1 move, which is what some specific units have in the game.
Nope. It is class-based. If you turn Tanya into a male archer, she goes from 6 to 7 move. You might be mistaking Ronan's class with the enemy-only "bow soldiers" (also called Archers in the current translation patches), who have completely different bases, and actually only have 5 move themselves.
I like seeing the exclusive classes a lot and wish for more to see them branch off more often. Fates could have done more to give the royals their own special classes as sakura has mikotos outfit like Lissa to emmeryn and Leo Elise sakura could have been some cool units with their royal blood affecting their class. Xander easy conquerer Engage opposite since the lords had the skills and that just made things less fun to build arohnd. Do wish they added a second female villager in echoes to play off of Faye since she's the only girl of the group and nobody even acts like she is one. But she was very broken having extra stats and better growths than the other girls.
The problem with exclusive classes is that gender should not be the way they're locked. Its just ridiculous, weird and even sexist if we lock it by gender. Locking it by personality/culture on the other hand...
@@ramenbomberdeluxe4958 a guy can't be a priestess and a girl can't be a monk but it's basically the same thing. It's just a title nothing more so it's a non factor. Plus it's more accurate making the males physical growths higher while the females are more magic based. Plus Charlotte and rinkah exist so you already got your wish with a female fighter in Charlotte and some classes are both male and female based without any class distinction Only real problem is making females archers. Archery is seen as the weaker skill for those with less muscles compared to swords when that's completely wrong. Takumi should be way stronger for example as bows take more training to be able to shoot one off Region based is already a thing in a few ways. awakening Lissa can't be a dark mage. Tharja can't be a healer. Donnel is a diamond in the rough becoming a hero but his kids can get pegasus knight while vaike can have a daughter with the merc class. Meanwhile fates shares classes when you make a marriage or friendship so that system is sorta already there.
Interesting video, but there are many corrections I can make. Firstly, the first game to make pegasus knights all explicitly female was FE4. In FE1, the sprite wears the same full armor as their unwinged cavalier counterpart. In FE2, the sprite's armor was changed but is still androgynous, despite there being no enemy pegasi and thus every pegasus knight in the game being truly female. It seems to me like there was the intention early on for pegasus knights to not necessarily be female. However by FE3 there is undeniable proof, with enemy pegasus knights being male with a different sprite to the playable female ones. This makes sense because, as was put, pegasus knights promoted into Wyvern Knights, and Michalis was a male Wyvern Knight. In fact, in FE11, there are unused male pegasus knight and female cavalier classes, which don't have sprites, but can be modded in as class change options which make the female class options perfectly mirror the first male class set. Of course the female cavalier did eventually make it in next game. Lachesis was the first female axe user, the only way Macha counts is as the first woman to ONLY gain axes on promotion. There are obviously playable fliers in FE4, I think you meant there were no playable MALE fliers. FE4 was notable for being the first time to have the same class, Paladin, be different depending on gender, with Female Paladins being able to use staves in addition to swords and lances. Most classes share the same data regardless of gender, merely coded to display different sprites depending on the character, with Paladin being the exception. Thus in randomizers you can have "male female paladins" able to use staves, although they are very bugged. FE5 in an attempt to make the female paladins not be strictly better than male ones, frustratingly removed their lance access, rather than give male paladins staff access. Apart from this, all of the Kaga games have all classes of the same name be statistically identical. FE6 was the first game to actually give distinctive slots for male and female class variants with different stat bases and caps.
If there’s one thing I didn’t get in Fates is why was the Grandmaster class Male only? I did a hack forever ago and tested it on several female units and some of the support skills worked really well with Elise and Camilla, and seeing Azura activate Ignis just looks aesthetically pleasing 😂😊👍
To be honest, I feel like Fire Emblem has always been fairly progressive about letting women be warriors in the series. While its handling of women has its flaws here and there, we've always had strong warrior women in the series, from FE1's showcase of Caeda, Minerva, the Pegasisters, Midia, to FE3's Cecile, Sheena, etc. There's so many women in this series that break those old conventions that, even though they were usually grace-based or mounted, it was a great step in the right direction for its time, and now with modern games breaking those roles entirely (with Three Houses being particularly weird about it notwithstanding), all I can say is that, hey, good on this series for being better than the usual trite we see in games and anime like this.
To add, I think one of the best examples of this role-breaking was Echidna, my favorite unit in FE6 and one of my favorites in the whole series. She's a Hero, and a Samson type one too, so its Axes first, Swords second with her!
It's ironic how the "definitive" dark mage class in 3H is objectively the worst male-locked blass and is just a stepping stone for Hubert to reach Dark Knight
With the thumbnail using sex and the title using gender, I am wondering whether the series has consistently based such class difference on either sex or gender, or gone back and forth on it. Edit: I wrote this comment before the video's 1 minute mark, the thought still stands.
I really hate that gender locked classes are STILL a thing even after Fates removed that restriction (mostly). What is the problem that IS has with men being pegasus knights or women being warriors???
It is especially annoying in 3 Houses where there is a woman with a brawling proficiency and multiple men with flying proficiencies but Catherine can't be a grappler and the fellas can't ride a flying horse.
A but of extra trivia eegarding the gba era: All enemy mounted units use the male Aid formula. So any rare enemy Pegasus/Falcoknight are for all intents and purposes male.
Counter isn't male only in Awakening... If you get Titania through Spotpass, she joins as a Great Knight with Dicipline, Outdoor Fighter, Luna and Counter... I don't remember if any other DLC/Spotpass characters break the rules like she does, but since they count as fully recruitable and playable characters, i think they should at least be included in the official roster.
"Project Triangle Strategy" was just the working title, not the official title of the game. Reasonable thing to have missed, but I feel like I keep hearing it still in various places.
I really want a shadows of Valentina type game where there are no avatar characters. I also want a female protagonist and a male protagonist. Depending on who you choose the story will be different. (Like perspective) female will use a lance and magic and the male will use the classic sword. Female will be the main/focus character tho.
Hey maybe don't use sex and gender interchangeably even if it's for money it's still shitty, censor sex in the title if you're that worried, you mixed them up throught the entire video
