      GalaxiaKnightX I said this in a different comment, but the whole point of April Fools is to make a Prank for a day that is ok for everybody since it doesn't hurt anybody. Thats why April Fools Day is such a Perfect Day for Pranks and Jokes. You can finally do a prank, and no one will complain, generally speaking. Making a Video on April Fools Day thats not a Joke Video would ruin the fun of what is April Fools Day. It would just be an April Video.

      Achenar. Mass murderer to the point of genocide. Then he and his brother Sirrus unknowingly trap themselves on prison Ages. While trapped, his conscience wakes up. Then Sirrus breaks out, and ends up springing Achenar as well while capturing their sister Yeesha. Sirrus takes over Yeesha's body through black magic. In the good ending, Achenar sacrifices himself to give the Stranger the chance to rescue Yeesha. Sirrus is (for all practical purposes) dragged off to Hell, but Achenar dies reassuring Yeesha that she's safe now.

      @@absollum That is the ultimate tragedy of the game, maybe if the end of Azure Moon Dimitri and the end of Crimson Flower Edelgard coexisted the might have been able to get along. But both of them only get to that point because Byleth helped them out. Byleth helps Dimitri overcome his obsession with vengeance. Otherwise, which it would consume him. And with the professor's help Edelgard learns the value of relying on other people.
      Edelgard's traumatic past has led her to be very distrustful of others, she never thought anyone would support her in reforming the crest system. But this isn't actually true, both Claude and Dimitri ultimately agrees that status are being linked to crests has brought a lot of misery to fodlan. But as she never confided in them about her concerns, she assumed everyone would be against her and therefore assumed war would be inevitable.
      Also, Edelgard wasn't really trying to kill Dimitri in that final scene in Azure Moon, more like she was trying to force his hand in killing her. Tragically, Edelgard do not wish to be spared and do beg for Byleth to kill her after her loss in verdant wind and silver snow. She believes that if her cause is lost, her death will bring a quick grant to the war, Dimitri at this point would not kill her unless she attacked him first, so she willingly dies because she believes her death would serve the greater good.

    If there’s something Zuko from ATLA taught me, it’s that everyone loves a good redemption arc. And these’re definitely no exception.👌🏽
    Also, small correction about the Dimitri portion: Edelgard doesn’t throw her dagger at Dimitri in an attempt to kill him, as several peeps think, but it’s *much* more subtle than that. When Dimitri gave the dagger back to her, he told her to “cut her own path for herself,” or something along those lines. And so after her defeat, instead of taking Dimitri’s hand, Edelgard threw the dagger in order to return the dagger to him and allow him to cut a new path for himself instead: that being a world where Dimitri was the victor and she would die with her empire. It’s entirely sad, really, since it shows that despite the both of them having noble goals and aspirations, their largely different ideals made it so they could never reach a consensus...

      Or to generalize it could be top ten fallen heroes. Not necessarily the protagonist.
      For example, Sepulchure from the Artix Entertainment games. Once a good man and the most powerful Knight in Greenguard but he faced a foe too powerful for even him to beat. He put on the DoomKnight armour and wielded the Necrotic Blade of Doom sacrificing his humanity and the guardians who served him in life to save the woman he loved. After that woman died, the only shred of humanity he has left is his love for his Daughter. Other than that, he was cruel and ruthless, laying waste to the world because he was promised his beloved back. He would stop at literally nothing for it.

    13:35 This part is actually pretty sad to me, because I have the theory that Edelgard didn't go for the kill, I mean, she throws the knife to his shoulder, a non-lethal point, so, I believe that she actually aimed there to force Dimitri to kill her, because she couldn't stand the idea that all she had sacrificed had been for nothing.(Spoilers)
    She couldn't destroy the crest system, she had to live with the fact that she had two crests not by birth, but by experimentation, an experimentation done to her when she was just a child and that caused the death of her brothers and sisters, and having helped those who slither in the dark, the ones that did those abhorrent experiments on her, was done for nothing, since the only reason why she did was because she wanted to betray them after destroying the church of Seiros.
    Due to this, I think that was an act of suicide by herself. She prefered to die rather than to live in a world where she had to deal with her failure, and the consequences of that failure (aka the deaths of the black eagle students, or at least the ones that you didn't recruit)

    • @amirgarcia547
      @amirgarcia547 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I actually believe the same thing as well. If Edelgard truly wanted to kill Dimitri, I feel like she could’ve done far more than just throw a dagger at him. But instead I see it more as an act of choosing to fall along with her empire and give Dimitri a chance to change the world, instead of remaining in it after her defeat.

    Man, I was just thinking the other day about how good Kratos' redemption is! He went from one of my most hated video game protagonists to one of my most loved in a completely natural journey that doesn't jarringly detach him from who he used to be. Massive respect for him and his actor.
    John's journey is even better when you pick up all the hints in RDR2 that he didn't want to be a father and his initial reaction to possibly having a real family was to run from it. Even at the start of the game, he's hesitant around them, gets into arguments and is a mess of commitment issues. I love that even in that prequel we see a soft journey for him as he realises how much his wife and son mean to him and he becomes committed to being there for them no matter what, something that helps him realise how doomed and damned the outlaw life is. I think I probably prefer Arthur's redemption arc, personally, but I love John with all my heart.

Becoming jealous of Sora making new friends without him and allowing Ansem to possess him to surpass Sora, ultimately resulting in Sora's brief "death" and losing control of his own body, having to spend CoM and II atoning for his actions and ultimately becoming redeemed and made Keyblade Master.

Boy if THAT doesn't humble him up right quick and force him to face himself head-on! EASILY makes the "Tales of the Abyss" my all-time favorite Tales of game [thus far.]

    About the Undertale rep, I’d rather go with Undyne because of the differences of the two routes. She actually gets two different redemptions. She is willing to befriend you and help you out with getting Alphys happy by asking you to give her the love letter.
    And in Genocide? After she takes the hit for Monster Kid, she realizes that if the player gets past her, then it wouldn’t just be the monsters that would die. If she fails, even the humans aren’t safe. Upon this realization, she turns into her Undying form. She won’t stop until you stop, but that also means that, even if you do, the Determination she exudes would’ve eventually turned her into a puddle like with the Amalgamates.

And because of him I was able to work on some of those issues. I still want a canon redemption plot for him (he's gotten one in two manga series!) so I'm waiting for those remakes with baited breath. Here's hoping that he can get the help he needs.

      Several times has proven a love towards her little sister that manages to survive death and descent to madness.
      Even now, her only goal is achieve something similar to justice, even if under lies and extortion of an evil God.
      Face it, if half the shit happening to her happened to anyone of you, you'd go berserk.

    Nice to see Cecil at least made honorable mentions. His redemption arc was largely in the early portion of FFIV, so I get why there might not have been enough content to justify him in the top ten, but he did turn against his king and kingdom because his morals wouldn't let him stay quiet, faced and conquered his inner darkness at his lowest point, and received validation from his king and adopted father's spirit. The acknowledgement for that, however brief, is appreciated

    I really loved Dimitri's story in Three Houses. Azure Moon was my first route and it makes me sad that Dimitri basically dies in every other route. Azure Moon is the only way he can live on. But despite his crazed perspective and manic aggression, he has his reasons for feeling the way he did. It goes to show that not only his redemption arc, but his entire character arc, are vital to the Azure Moon story. But they're also important on other routes, as you get to see the beginnings of his downward spiral no matter what route you choose. Dimitri is always present when you find out that Edelgard is the Flame Emperor. Knowing that Dimitri dies on all other routes except Azure Moon, it gives players the incentive to go back and play through his route if they really want to know what could've happened to Dimitri.

    You know, your intro to the Yuri segment makes me want to hear about your top ten personal moments like what you described. Assuming you didn’t already do that; at this point, you’ve made so much content that even a diehard fan like me can’t keep track of it all.
    If I were to make a list like that myself, though, I have an odd inclusion: the battle of Glaivend Basin in Tales of Zestiria. I call it weird because most people would call that moment a flop, a failed attempt to show the horrors of war. Looking back, I can see its failures...yet the message hit home for me. A battle so bloody and pointless, sacrificing countless lives for nothing in a struggle that only breeds hatred and malevolence. The basin, an utter wasteland at the border of two nations with strained relationships, is closed off by this event, as the only thing this bloodshed achieved is a worsening of those tensions. And the music, the somber, depressing music that plays here, really conveys just how pointless the violence was, especially as it still plays for the area should you take the few steps into it you’re allowed after the battle.

    9. You know, I was playing Dragon Age just last night. Happy to see it show up here.
    8. Never been fond of CoD but I find the story attached to the campaigns to be interesting.
    7. Still haven't done Azure Moon. First route was Crimson Flower and I tried to recruit as many people as I could because I don't like killing those I fought alongside.
    6. I liked Varok Saurfang up until Battle For Azeroth where he became discount Grommash Hellscream redeeming the Horde again though under even more dubious circumstances this time.
    5. Still need to play this game. It's been taunting me.
    4. Riku had to be on here. According to the handful of comments near the top, nobody was surprised. I'd watch/read that rewriting KH editorial.
    3. "I am your monster no longer." Kratos did very well (with some help) on redeeming himself through teaching his son to be better than he was.
    2. Still have no interest in Red Dead Redemption but respect the heroic sacrifice of John.
    H.M. Gamma was interesting. I respect that half of Team Plasma and agree with them to a point. I really need to finish FF4 one of these days. I keep forgetting the Detroit Become Human exists. Redemption through Death is very common I've noticed. # VIII was cool; Too bad that giving him a keyblade made him less effective in a fight.

    Food for thought about Asriel's death, it was really more on Chara. Her death (yes, I refer to Chara as a girl) was pre-planned, so Asriel could absorb her soul and pass the barrier. However, in that absorption, Chara was able to share control of Asriel's body, and by that, she carried her own body to the village, knowing that the humans would attack Asriel. Her hope was that he'd fight back, to get 6 more human souls to break the barrier, and to convince Asriel that other humans aren't worth saving. However, Asriel resisted fighting back, and that's what led to his death.
    To whoever wonders how I know all that, you get that info from Asriel himself at the end of the pacifist run, if you go all the way back to where the game started, where he'd be spending his last few moments before turning back to a flower.

    I will agree with a lot of the list. But Velvet Crowe from tales of berseria should have been mentioned. She started as just a carefree village girl living with her little brother laphicet and brother-in-law arthur after her older sister and unborn child were killed by daemons, only to be transformed into one after her brother was sacrificed to awaken an old God and make Arthur a "hero" as the first Shepard of humanity. She escaped with the help of her sisters reincarnation only to have to devour her to escape, and she killed many, many innocents in her path for revenge, and went mad after killing someone who she promised his sister to spare. Afterwards her own brother was revealed to have become a vessel for the god, and was tormenting her, bringing her to despair to fulfill the requirements for innominats power to reach its max and suppress all of humanity's emotion completely. That is until phi brought velvet back from despair, made her realize that yes, she did wrong but she isn't without redemption, and she has people who care, and that even with all the death she's caused, she can stop the death of all of humanity by them basically losing emotion and wanting to kill themselves for the greater good, and sealing innominat and herself away, allowing phi to become the new God to replace innomonat and allow humanity to be purified... (With the exception of a select few like roukurou who were to greatly filled with malevolence that they couldn't become human again)

She is then kidnapped from that friend and forcibly experimented on in the brothel Paradise, where she is driven... more than a little insane. She is saved from the brothel by Joshua and Loewe and joins Ouroboros with them, whereupon she is given the title of Enforcer XIV, the Angel of Slaughter, and becomes the cutest little murderess you've ever seen. Not remembering the truth of her situation, she blamed her parents for putting her in Paradise and while she doesn't kill them, she does hate them and find a replacement parent in the form of Pater Mater, a giant robot. Come the events of the games, and Renne meets and bonds with Estelle while pretending to be a normal child, before revealing to Estelle that she was just playing around with her and trying to kill her. But Estelle sees beyond this and recognizes Renne for what she is, just a scared little girl, and makes it her mission to save her. After being defeated on the Aureole and having her worldview challenged, Renne runs away to do a journey for self discovery, and Estelle promises she'll chase her. Come the Crossbell games, after saving her little brother from a monster, she learns the truth of her family and true to her word, Estelle catches up to her, whereupon Renne becomes a member of the Bright family and completes her redemption, helping Estelle and the Bracer Guild when she thinks it important and fighting against Ouroboros.

    Speaking of Pokémon, what about Pokémon Mystery Dungeon? In Explorers of Time Darkness or Sky, the Drowzee the team you play as arrested early in the story because he was a wanted outlaw becomes that helpful much later, when your team wants to explore Azurill's nightmare, a dungeon in its own right. But perhaps a better example is during the special bonus episode starring Grovyle, after he explains his motive for snatching the Time Gears to your team, who would then go on to send Dusknoir and his Sableye lackeys through the wormhole that leads to a post-apocalyptic future. This is their redemption arc, especially Dusknoir's.
