    Just wanted to publicly say thanks to Mekkah for giving me the opportunity to edit this video for him. This video became my personal passion project over the past several weeks and I had a ton of fun making it; and I'm glad to see it finally shared with the rest of the community.

      FE4 does have writing like Fates at times. You don't need to be hypocritical to bash Fates to acknowledge where FE4 is flawed
      Sigurd/Deirdre fall in love instantly, Romeo and Juliet style. No support conversations to build up, just instantly he sees her and loves her. And Manfroy isn't much better than Iago: even if Loptyr people were persecuted, there's no good Loptyr cult member in Genealogy to sympathize with and learn from. It's just Manfroy and the cult trying to end the world and feed children to a dark God.

      Iirc Summon is linked to Knoll and Ewan too, and only shows up if they're Summoners (or Necromancers). If you change Lyon's class to anything else besides Summoner, he won't be able to summon.

      @MrMarket1987 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Was that from personal testing? I used Codebreaker a while back on VBA and managed to get Knoll to Summon just fine as a Necromancer(because Lyon's sprite model looks similar to how Knoll looks overall with the purple hair and stuff to not make it look out of place, and by all accounts he should have similar skills in the Dark Arts as a Royal Mage, just not have Formortiis' soul). Never had issues with that as far as I can recall.

    Damn, I wish there was at least a minor quip about the Clerics from SoV's summon skills.
    Genny being able to summon like 5+ phantoms in 1 turn really early on is so broken that I'm not sure how people say Celica route is harder.
    Good video, Summoner class is awesome.

      First off you cannot control the mist soldiers. This makes them more difficult to use.
      Second SoV infantry units have very low mov being only 4 till they reach some of their final classes. Combine that with heavy terrain and narrow corridors they can sometimes clog up your other units.
      Lastly Celica maps are brimming with desert and swamps that kill your movement so Genny's invoke soldiers are tedious to use.
      Although Slique and Tatiana have more solid ground and summon pegs knights and dread fighters making them very good

      @@littleduck3686 You make some good points, but it's important to note that by far the most useful aspect of phantoms/mist soldiers are that they distract the enemy on enemy phase, protecting your weaker units while doing chip damage. You don't really want them to be all powerful, because then they're just stealing exp from other units

    In my FE8 Randomizer run I specifically never lost a unit in the Demon King fight because of summons, it was probably dumb luck but I'm glad someone showcases how useful these guys are.
    If you're wondering, my summoner was Garcia.

    First...
    This Video is beautiful. From the funny intro up to 7:10 every animation looks so good I don't know how I should express it otherwise. After a little while you always reach a milestone (about this kind of stuff) and I apreciate that. It is awesome to see that we went from Mekkah Quality to choopi choosy level by now. And while I'll always watch your content for your detailed and informative facts about this series it is always nice to look at something good at the same time.
    Second, yes. I wanted to try Phantoms out some time in the future but before the video I wasn't really sure about them. I haven't played FE8 as much (besides the first few chapters because of hacking lol) so there is a lot left to discover for me. And I think I will try out Ewan and Knoll the next time.

    Was going to say that at 1:26 you ERRORNIOUSLY say "Any successful attack will destroy a phantom" BUT if a phantom is stading on a gate or throne and an enemy with 0 str and a slim sword attacks the phantom will not be destroyed due to terrain bonuses (+3 defense). But phantoms are fliers which dont get terrain bonuses. So imma just post for the algo to pick up the vid. good vid

  • @rydenhope3602
    @rydenhope3602 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    When I got scared stones as a kid when it came out, I was eager to try the new classes and I ended up going the 2 summoner route you recommend. It was a lot of fun to have 2 phantoms on the field at all times, the only drawback at all was if they accidentally killed stuff with loot I couldn't trade it back, and I remember being frustrated as a kid when that would happen.
    Great video, and i really loved the editing, the guy you hired did a fantastic job playing around with the 2D Sprite work and I hope to see more of defritos work on your channel in the future!

    The phantom drop is based on a sequential scan of the map that starts in the top left corner and travels right along the grid, then resets to the farthest left point based on the grid overflow. So it seems like its prioritizing up-left-right-down, and in practice generally is, but you can game it a bit.

      @@vanjagalovic3621 Replicas share health with their original summoner so if 1 dies so does the other, besides they come rather late and on a class that's otherwise worse than it's counterparts. Invoke is a cool spell in echoes on the units that get it and it also breaks AI but then again it's Echoes and that game does a lot of weird things.
