tbh with the political situation of his "home" country in his games, he's seen the spectrum of men, women, princes, princesses, royalty and commoner bleed for their country. I can safely say he has met all the royals of his time and at minimum respects one… and a female one at that. He's also Ike's accountant so it kinda makes it funnier.

@@braxbro6674 You keep Boucheron's name out your dang mouth! He's not benchworthy, he's peak Warrior material that deletes hp like it's nobody's business! That and if he gets cornered he's got 66hp to work with and can't get doubled because of Lyn's speedtaker.
@@charlesg213 You can put speedtaker on anyone though and others make much better use of it. I benched him faster than I did Jagen... I had literally 4 straight level ups of just HP for him and on to the bench he went as soon as I had any other character to use.
@Orphim I know people make use of it better. I just got lucky and stubborn with Boucheron. My stat spread with Boucheron right now is probably cracked without stat manipulation items invested. 29 Str, 1 Mag, 29 Dex, 41 Spd (×2speed taker proc), 12 Lck, 21 Def, 18 Res, 19 Bld and 66 Hp. He's not gonna tank normally, but these stats on a switch hitting Warrior works for me.
@@Will_Parker i mean I'd like to hope this is partially what this game is for. Echoes did ok, but future remakes might do a lot better if people are curious about the characters.
@@DandDgamer Alm and Celica were no where near as popular as Ike was at the time and even today. Ike won the first FEH poll by a substantial amount, even if the votes were split between his two games.
I wouldn't say no to some Tellius remasters, but at least the games are perfectly playable in their current form (though you've got to emulate them). The games we desperately need remastered/reworked are Genealogy of the Holy War and Thracia 776. Well respected games simply savaged by the passage of time.
With the way the conversation was set up, “You’re not effected by my cuteness! What’s wrong with you?!” I was almost expecting him to say “I like men.” His vocal delivery is immaculate.
soren getting the meat recipe for ike lmao between clanne and jade's bond convos where he interacts with a book, the incorporeal stuff just seems like deflection
If I have to guess, probably someone from Genealogy of the holy war or Thracia 776. If not, then I have no idea who before the path of radiance made their debut
@Thélos Sensei you know what really sucks as a missed opportunity. Sewing learning that his father and mother were who they were. Grrr! Though knowing Soren he probably wouldn't care much.
Meh Ashnard was a real pos, I don't think he'd be impressed sadly. His mother does see him, but doesn't really go after him which was kinda... rude. Like she was all over Pelleas. So, take that how you will I guess. (I think Soren kind of knew because he never speaks to either character but probably doesn't care or want to know either)
@thelossenseishe sadly just kind of ignores him. If you do a bunch of quests she goes over because Pelleas told her too, and she's like "oh.... well thats my son." And leaves without saying anything lol.
Bluntness forged from over 5 years of having to work under and explain things to the Himbo king Ike and explain to him that the woman in pink robes might not have the best of intentions for him.
I have seen Soren's character in Path of Radiance, Radiant Dawn, Awakening and before these lines, only a SMIDGEON of Engage. He's a little different in Engage but oh my god, these make him even more glorious.
kyle mccarley does this character so well that i actually started liking him because of his performance here being a 9s fanboy does things to my brain chemistry though tbf
Inspirational speech, followed by ‘That’s what taxes pay for.’ Gotta love that bluntness lmao Also wanting the recipe is totally so he can make it for Ike, you cannot prove me wrong lol
Soren took a conversation about sexism and made it about taxes. What a chad
"Royals should bleed for the people regardless of gender" - based Soren

@@Fimbulvetr I think you misunderstood what he said. He basically explained how the mob works and that "royalty" is simply that - the mob.
Sigma Soren
Its not sexist moron
"It is the duty of all royalty to defend the people. That's what taxes pay for." The fact that he says that so matter-of-factly kills me
Wouldn't be soren otherwise
Soren does the budgeting. Of course he's going to care about where the money goes and how it's used
@@Ash_Wen-li You know, currently I've been using Anna and Soren to -rob people to- gain money for that Somniel funding. So yeah, can confirm he does have a hand in its budgeting.

@@dracotias "Gatrie, what have you been buying. You've been cutting into ikes meat fund and we both know that's not a good thing"
So a few details
1: Soren dosent give two shits about anything
2: unlike yoshi, soren pays his taxes
3: Soren is just sarcasm personified
Missed one. Soren doesn't give two shits about anything but Ike.
@@JoeJoel fair point
He is my new spirit animal
He's not sarcastic, though; just hilariously blunt.
@@sinisterdesign Said bluntness though directly leads to inadvertant deadpan snarking. Also are we going to leave out the fact Soren only gives a damn about meat so as to bribe ike?
I love how you can summarise Soren interactions with: "I'm doing my job, Do yours."
Soren sounds like he's about to get a restraining order against Bunet lmao
Understandably so, the man would cannibalize people not out of starvation but just idle curiosity.
being fair he is the guy that was fully ready to try eating a sword
based, I immediately permabenched bunet too
Why does Bunet sound like Whis from Dragon Ball? Am I the only one who noticed that?
@@twilimessSame voice actor, and the person did a very similar cadence for both cause it's a very similar type of character: an aloof gourmet who doesn't even try to sound normal.
A conversation that probably happened in the recording studio: “Ok, Kyle, we need you to not give a shit about literally anything for these voice lines.”
“Say no more.”
Except Ike
The idea of Alm, Gatekeeper and Soren sharing a voice actor will never fail to blow my mind
Wait, this is the same voice actor???!
@@DJhero5001 Yep, Kyle McCarley voices Alm, Gatekeeper and Soren.
So we're just not going to acknowledge that Bunet can _smell_ that Soren's not human. We're just moving on from that. Okay
Dude has a wild sense of smell. Kinda useful for his profession though.
Bunet is just built different
ordinary laguz can smell it, too
Thats a reference
@@SeiZ4G0 yeah Laguz, animal people.
Bunet is a boring normal human, how tf can he smell that
The subtle interest on meat is not his but for Ike. I see how it is Soren
One of the Gayest couple, second only to Chrom and Robin
Emblems can't even eat, I guess that's just coded into him at this point.
Heh subtle interest in MEAT heh meat yea Subtle
"That's what taxes pay for" sent me flying
well he isn't wrong about the taxes
its basically how the mob works. Pay your "taxes" and they "protect" you or else...
He's a Mii in my Tomodachi Life playthrough and he has to give donations at the fountain, which are basically taxes.
Even in the world of video games especially Fire Emblem Engage, no one escapes the IRS.
@@Natsu25100 eat the rich, emblem of taxes!
Still to this day, Soren is still a savage
As someone who’s never played the Tellius games, I get the Soren hype now
At first I wasn't convinced for soren as an emblem but after hearing him having based dialogues I think he is the best emblem now
Both he and Ike are based
Canonically, he'll only listen earnestly to Ike and Greil.
Engage makes that even more clear.
Glad both Ike and Soren kept the absolute snark
The bench on Bourcheron killed me XD
you mean bencheron?
@@braxbro6674 You keep Boucheron's name out your dang mouth! He's not benchworthy, he's peak Warrior material that deletes hp like it's nobody's business! That and if he gets cornered he's got 66hp to work with and can't get doubled because of Lyn's speedtaker.

soren being in engage still feels like a dream, i love this asshole so much
1:28 finally, evil "Go touch grass"
Don't worry Boucheron, Soren wouldn't be able to help with your problem anyway. He is, after all...
Always lost in his books.
What has Mia said about watching his back?
Oh no, it's now in my mind!
The most perfect Mia line read of all time
Soren really hit him with the "who asked?".
They captured the essence of Soren perfectly.
0:48 whoever wrote this exchange needs a raise. This is perfect and peak Soren
0:40
He's gay, Hortensia-
Didnt he get us a magic staff that one time by rizzing the shopkeeper
@@tl3033yeah
Ike and Soren in this game make me believe that the devs knew exactly how to channel the Radiance fanbase.
And it's amazing.
Now if only they'd give us HD remakes already
@@Will_Parker i mean I'd like to hope this is partially what this game is for. Echoes did ok, but future remakes might do a lot better if people are curious about the characters.

With the way the conversation was set up, “You’re not effected by my cuteness! What’s wrong with you?!” I was almost expecting him to say “I like men.” His vocal delivery is immaculate.
Cut to Ike's quote: "I eat meat."
Men is a broad statement for just ike. That mf hates everyone
He doesn’t like “men.” He likes 1 man. Ike.
@@jonahj9519 And Ike's too busy studying the blade to notice.
Soren doesn't like men he likes Ike. He is ikesexual
Omg he wants to learn how to cook for Ike, that's so sweet 😭😭
Oh man Soren's sass is really entertaining
the last one in the end oof lol
I mean, bunet isn't technically wrong considering his bloodline
Taxes quote killed me.
Soren is so based.
soren getting the meat recipe for ike lmao
between clanne and jade's bond convos where he interacts with a book, the incorporeal stuff just seems like deflection
That section with Boucheron destroyed me. Soren is the best.
Soren interested in that meat recipe cause Ike likes meat
I thought I'd hate soren. Then as he kept talking I realized he talks just like I would
i think thats part of the reason so many people like him, he says what everyone is thinking lol
He just like me fr fr
The dialogue in this game is crazy lol
Best money I ever spent
0:21 Emblem Soren: Hold IT. You got my attention.
I CAN'T THE FLIPPING TAXES
Dude honestly Soren is a blessing in this game that I never knew I needed man
''That's what taxes pay for.''
What a chad.
DAMN that burn in the end.... 🤣
Pretty sure Soren is my new favorite Fire Emblem character.
Soren is just up and saying what everyone else is thinking. What a chad.
His dialogue in this Dlc motivated me to download an emulator and rom for Path of Radiance so I could see what’s up!!!
Honestly same. 😂
Between his and Ike's bond quotes I have a pretty compelling reason to figure out how to play the tellius games now
that last one and the joke you made were so good lol
1:29 yes hello i'd like to report a murder
they nailed Sorens personality, and its hilarious
Emblem Oliver when?
*Power Hungry Fool intensifies*
Originally I wasn’t sure if I cared at all about Soren. Now I realise he’s the best thing to happen to Fire Emblem.
there's been a massacre at the somniel
I used to hate Soren... but now he is pretty funny
It's the voice acting. First time soren has been fully voiced
@@blitz4779 Ah yeah good point. His delivery does really sell it
For me it was the more you get older the more you understand
Sorens always been the goat.
@@projectmessiah I just wish he would be a little more open to others instead of solely Ike
OOOOOFFF poor boucheron is gonna cry over that for weeks
0:42 "there's nothing wrong with being gay now leave me alone"😂
0:14 It’s for dadd- I mean Ike. Just. Ike.
Something tells me that the only reason why Soren wanted to hear Clanne out was because he was thinking of cooking for Ike
Soren just does not give a shit lmao
Hortensia Homophobia Arc
1:31 Sadly Soren that doesn't stop some people. Masaki from Super Robot wars got lost on a guided tour and ended up in Another Century Episode R
Bunet can smell branded, I just cant-
Giga Chad Soren on the loose
Love the last bit, have you considering not going outside? 🤣😂
So this is what money pays for... one sassy boi
Lmaooooo Soren is definitely my favorite emblem I love him
Noice!
Soren researching meat for ike, awww
Damn Soren and Linheart I feel would just be sitting at a table just talking smack about everyone they see.
0:39 Goddammit, Hortensia!
1:23 soren’s response legit killed me
Soren was the first gigachad in the series, is he not?
... probably not, tbh. The series has quite a few characters under it's belt. I'm sure one of them qualifies
If I have to guess, probably someone from Genealogy of the holy war or Thracia 776. If not, then I have no idea who before the path of radiance made their debut
@@Zyaire286 Not sure what exactly the definition of a gigachad is, but I think Finn from the Jugdral games counts as one of them.
THE FIRST 10 SECONDS OH MY LORD
that cutoff at the start was immaculate
Wow, that last one was kind if savage
Bro became Bencheron.😂
I love how Bunet's support hints at the secret bonus paralogue Soren has in Radiant Dawn
This video singlehandedly convinced me to buy this game.
I'm convinced we need a 3rd Ike game.
Just so I can have more Soren snark.
He’s acting exactly how someone put into this bizarre situation would react, and I’m so here for it. 😂
I wonder what king Ashnard
and the king of dragons sister feels about their son being so sassy.
@Thélos Sensei you know what really sucks as a missed opportunity. Sewing learning that his father and mother were who they were. Grrr! Though knowing Soren he probably wouldn't care much.

engage is an advertisement for path of radiance and radiant dawn i swear
I feel like soren and i would get along great
Based Soren

"You will not survive this"
Cut to LTG-style lightning backdrop
I ACTUALLY MET THE SOREN VA HE WORKS AT STAPLES😭😭😭😭
Bunet over here serving microaggressions
This almost made me want to play engage. Almost.
Not the subtitles saying Sauron-

What the fuck why is he literally built different
