Fire Emblem ALL Protagonists Tier List

fire emblem fire emblem fire emblem sometimes i wonder how i ended up so deep in this franchise you love me let's have some you deserve mix become like me i'm so easy to buy honestly the answer is pretty easy this is a series that gives me a lot of satisfaction from making great strategies and seeing my units grow to be stronger the fantasy setting is a huge appeal but i especially love how each unit is a character of its own with backstories dreams and personalities ranging from some of the most interesting writing i've seen in a game to the worst of the worst which is almost every single character in fire emblem fates this also applies to the main characters but unfortunately not all of them are winners and now that i have experienced the adventures of every single protagonist i'm going to rank all of them i'm considering their grinding their achievements their as a unit and my own personal bias and just so you know i'm going all out including spin-offs so welcome to my fire emblem protagonist fearless mart like pretty much every fire emblem fan i came to know more through super smash brothers melee i had no idea who he was and when i first saw him i thought ah he's probably a less cooler link why would i want to play as this guy he doesn't have a shield or bow or boomerang but quickly i warm up to him because he was so fun to use eventually becoming one of my most used characters in that game but most impressive is that i prefer marth over roy and i don't know why junger me will have said something like nah this guy is not manly like roy roy has a spiky hair a flame sword and isn't afraid of anything but still i prefer marth there must have been something about him that clicked with me more as for fire emblem well what can i say marth is the face of the series since he debuted as early as the nes era he is not the most complex of characters but he has qualities that back him up morth is humble idealistic and kind-hearted someone who fights for his homeland even after being betrayed twice a man who puts his people before his sound feelings and is incredibly loyal to his comrades even if said quality can backfire on him he dislikes violence but is willing to fight for the sake of what he believes is right for me his strongest asset is that he's so charismatic and not just through gameplay i mean in general marth doesn't need to be overly complex he's as simple as you can get but he's still a character who is appealing and likable he is the perfect embodiment of what fire emblem is all about gameplay wise he's a great unit every time i replay anything from arcanea he is nothing short of amazing fun fact even after the remakes he's still one of the few units who cannot promote in his games and he still remains one of the strongest characters that's a way to show up any potential disappointment something i always found funny about him is that he ends two wars and just like that he becomes the ruler of the whole continent because nobody else wanted to rule their territory anymore but hey credit greats do other games have confirmed he did a damn good job at that so yeah marth is the icon that represents the whole series and i wouldn't have it any other way he gets the a-tier chris is someone whose entire character i can describe in three words mars training and grandpa you see when you make a character that is supposed to represent the player they will usually have a very straightforward personality and that's fine but chris somehow boiled that down to those three words if they're not training they're talking about how their grandpa trained them if they're not talking about how their grandpa trained them they're slurping of morph if they're not slurping off marth they're training and that's their whole character i could only get glimpses of something more during the final support and the catarinas of plots which are things you optionally do but i think their biggest fault is that their existence actually makes marth a lesser character because some of mort's exploits are actually creases in the remake by the end of new mystery chris personally asks smart that nobody should know about their contributions to the war joe so marth can be known as a bigger hero and that's just lame overall chris is way too boring contributes nothing to the plot aside from the optional katarina stuff and actually harms the main character narratively they may be incredible units but so are pala ahma sirius do i need to go on no so i'll just put chris on deet here [Music] on or as some fans prefer to call him d oh he's such a great character his most notable traits are his naivete his strong sense of justice his sense of humor and the fact that he's left handed as a left-handed person myself i really appreciate the good representation remember the latin american representation videos i made i shall make one about left-handed characters jokes aside almost so likable because he's so expressive sensitive and genuine and i'm serious he's one of those characters you know it will be very easy to get along with if he was real he acknowledges his some weaknesses but always tries to make offer them and develops as a result his desire for a family plays an important role in the story and gives him emotional weight his constant jokes and puns make him so memorable and okay i know this isn't a privilege every fire emblem character has outset of heroes but his voice actor kyle mccarley [ __ ] killed a song shadows of valentia was one of those games where i never rushed through the dialogue because the boy's performances were spectacular unknown is easily one of the biggest highlights alm also holds the title for having one of the greatest glow ups in the entire series although i guess you can say that about the whole valentine cast gameplay-wise he's simply great he stands out as one of the strongest characters in the game even when his weaknesses start to show and the enemies get harder he still remains incredibly competent all you know the alm is a wonderful unit character and protagonist the a tier was a guarantee [Music] celica celica is a character who i really wanted to like she's kind friendly and her emotional flaws are understandable and can be a bit relatable but by mila she's so [ __ ] dumb she's a character that tries to do right or ends up causing a lot of the issues the heroes come across and at times she comes off as a hypocrite this is in a fate situation where the characters unplot a comedy to her stupidity but it's so frustrating how she never seems to learn i clearly remember the moment where saber chastises celica for trusting jeddah and that is a great moment for him but even after that celica learns nothing and [ __ ] follows jeddah next time she sees him get full once by obviously evil man who has the loki lucino pose that's understandable get full twice after your friends suffer help to make it hard for me to want to support you celica unless i talk about that shitty lashing atom after the reunion the better what did you mean you're solving this through alone after i came all the way here by killing pirates i can't believe you you're the worst again i really wish i could like celica but every time i remember the dumb [ __ ] she did in the story i cringe i don't hate her but she's way too dumb for her on goof so she's doing crazy some company on deep tier by the way does anybody remember celica's awakening dlc art she's just prototype pyra and i'm serious it's the same minorities from cinderelly chronicles 2. anyway let's move on [Music] sigurds papa sote i mean secret is a character that you look at and say so he's the embodiment of chivalry nobility and he's an incredible warrior someone who has this perfect aura around him but in truth is reckless short-tempered and even naive a weakness that led him to many unfortunate events and that's part of what makes siegert so unique he's a tragic character he suffers blow after blow and not exactly the good kind but still finds a way to get up and continue fighting something more depressing is the fact that while he continues to do what he believes is right these actions actually led to a bigger conflict in jockdraw and the fact that he dies in an incredibly horrible way no matter what the players do really segments the story of genealogy as a very memorable one something i recently found interesting about siegerth is that technically he didn't have a chance to develop throughout the game because he died but in fire emblem heroes he gets extra dialogue where he reflects on his actions and acknowledges his faults which made me like him a ton more i'm not saying a lot because i love him since the beginning and gameplay wise sigurd is an omnipotent force to be reckoned with he starts as a pre-promote mounted unit and that alone makes him unique from other fire emblem protagonists but that title isn't just for show siegert is sicily the best unit from the first generation in genealogy to the point where he can conquer most maps by himself and in fire emblem heroes his legendary alt was so absurdly powerful he single-handedly changed the metagame all in all sigurd is a great unit an interesting character and a very unique protagonist so to the eighth year he goes [Music] selif and liv i'm covering both of them at the same time cause quite frankly they have similar attributes they're both kids who grew up isolated and hid them from the worth lost their parents during the war and also suffer from an inferiority complex because they believe they will never live up to their names and titles they're caring and conquered people who still try to do their best despite their shortcomings but if i had to choose i'd say i prefer leaf more because his problems are so well expressed this dude doesn't have any self-worth and that is demonstrated even further throughout eurasia he understandably goes hard on himself and is incredibly self-conscious believing himself to be inferior because of his lack of major holy bluff and even lashes heart when he has to face his sound failures so seeing him overcome that is in my eyes all more impressive it really makes you root for him even more as for gameplay celib starts subrash but he becomes very competent with some investment in the racial leaf is alright useful but alright but in genealogy he becomes a powerhouse as he gets access to master knight easily the best class in the whole game because it lets him use every single weapon that is not character locked it's really hard to get him to that point but it's an effort well worth it i hope i don't get anyone to hate me for this but selif goes to b tier and leave to eight here hopefully those will be the most controversial placements of this video well maybe the next one will be more [Music] roy royce or boy woo hell yeah roy's or boy and that's honestly the best i can say the thing i like the most about roy is his portrayal in smash brothers and there's no doubt in my mind that's the main reason he's so popular because in binding blade he's bath search online for the word generic and roy will show up he's the shonen guy who cares for his friends and that's it and you could argue the same about marth but at least he has more unique qualities and his reason to fight is more personal but with roy i didn't feel any attachment other than he is the main protagonist and the only reason i find enjoyment in binding blade story is because every other character is way way more interesting than roy a friend of mine wants to describe him like this roy is a bag of words and honestly i can't put it any other way and if that was all at least i will put him on sit here but no roy is without a doubt the worst lord in the whole series gameplay-wise he starts with low base stats his growths are pretty decent but by the time he can do something remotely useful everyone else has already promoted leaving him behind roy actually becomes great until chapter 21 when he promotes but by then you're almost done with the game so before that it's all about babysitting him and that's it roy was a huge attractor to my binding blade experience he's way too generic for my liking and way too bad on the field and that's why i put him on deet here just like roy lin is easily one of the most popular characters in the whole series and one i don't think very highly of but don't worry it's not as bad for starters she has a great personality she's strong-willed energetic a believer of equality between genders and is quick to jump into action for her friends i'm especially fond of her dynamic with hector they're very entertaining together but her role as a main character always baffle me sure she has her own story but that's just a tutorial and after that she barely immerses her all in nellywood and hector's tale she doesn't even feel like marcus or osgoon who act as guides for their lords she's just there and in combat she's very myth i can't tell you how many times i played blazing blath maybe 7 playthroughs i think and i'll tell you from my experience at worst lynn is an awful unit and at best she's just okay while her title of main character can be debatable and she's not a very good unit i won't deny she has qualities i like so i think it's fair she gets the beat here allywood unlike his son roy i honestly really like galliwooth he shares so many qualities with marth aside from their voice actor jury lowenthal their polite charismatic pacifist and natural leaders who don't judge others for their looks and really care for their allies but what i also love about delhi good is that in some instances many characters point out how vulnerable and physically frail he is but he still insists on fighting because he believes it's a duty he must fulfill and more than that he's also pretty good at lending emotional support to his allies his support with fiora ninian and lane are great examples of that and can i just mention how much i love his friendship with hector cause i do but more on that later and through the story he is honestly a very good leaf and goes through a lot of growth and emotional pain seeing his father die unintentionally killing ninion blazingblade really has it against him but that's what makes me like him so much how he still finds a way to get up again gameplay-wise it's complicated elliewood has balanced stats that's the best way i can put it he's not incredible but he is not bad at all but once he promotes and gains a horse he becomes way better so yeah i think it's obvious i do love helly wolf so call me crazy but i'll put him on esteer now if you excuse me i have hector god i [ __ ] love hector he's actually one of my favorite videogame characters of all time and i'm that serious that mentality has not changed at all since i first beat his story actor is so unique among fire emblem protagonists he's bald straightforward reckless has a love for fighting and is not afraid to speak his mind but more than just being a bulky meathead he still proves to be a genuinely caring person in his own way which brings a lot of great dynamics his harsh care for sarah his hilary supports with florina his friendly rivalry with lynn how deeply he cares about his brother author and how his death hurts him but especially his friendship with allygood is so genuine i love it hector is a man who got involved with a whole conflict simply because he wanted to help his friends but this says khalid's even further when he gets our mats and i clearly remember the dialogue to desire strength then prepare yourself once you have gained such power your life will not end in a comfortable bath you will die on the battlefield in the savage garden of wards bloody the lions to ejector just replies i don't care i will help my friends that's why i've come this far our max your power lend it to me that was the moment that segmented hector as one of my favorite characters of all time not only was he incredible already but the fact that he willingly cursed himself to an early death to help his friend is what made me realize how much i love this character he simply has an undying loyalty that i deeply admire as for gameplay well hector is a powerhouse he's amazing when he begins and he stays us arguably one of the best units until the end sure you can bring up the shortcomings of armored units but after seven playthroughs i don't [ __ ] care hector is still a ridiculously good unit as for heroes every incarnation of hector has been top tier at some point you're gonna love it when your favorite character becomes meta defining and you bet i've gone through hell and back to get all of his souls that have released what else can i say the top of this tier list is ester but if i could i will put him on triple s tear i just [ __ ] adore this character like you can't imagine erika and ephraim i hope nobody hates me for this but i'm honestly not that big on the renee twins take in mind i don't hate them but for me they just exist i mean erika has the standard princess personality she's kind hates violence and is naive while ephraim is brash confident and has a calling for fighting that's totally fine but outside of that i really can't say much about them nothing about erica really shines for me and in combat she's all right ephraim is a great unit though but as a character he just doesn't make it for me it may be hypocritical of me to say he's okay considering he shares many qualities i love with hector but something about him doesn't click the same way i think it's also because their tune relationship is not organic if that makes sense it's like erika and ephraim are siblings greeted by someone who doesn't have any siblings and at times it comes out as suckworth rather than genuine and it seems the fanbase thinks so too do you know there's clearly something wrong when the thing most people say about them is that haha they totally [ __ ] each other that joke was out of control they even referenced it in heroes and i'm that [ __ ] serious another reason as to why i barely think about them is because for me secret stones has other characters who stand out more gorma gines garrick tethy salvijo sabroso said thundercock lara shell oh especially lara shell so in comparison the renee twins are just there i'm very sorry but i'll put them on seat here [Music] ike do i even need to say it do you want me to chant we like ike and all that ike he's a [ __ ] incredible character brave passionate blunt jet kind a noble trait of him is how he's not of noble birth but his life as a mercenary help him to get a more mature view of the worth and thus he holds no prejudices against the lagoose and sees no difference between race gender or social status making it very easy for people to trust and respect him ike thinks little of the noble life one of my favorite moments from him is when he is in front of telusu's most powerful people and tells them how much they disgust him despite him not looking for any high social status he still accepts to become a novel in order to help elincia quickly giving up his title as soon as the war ends and even though he acquires fame and becomes known as a hero he still remains humble and true to his ideals his deeds are so incredible that even other games have acknowledged that heroes actually refers to him as the strongest hero in all the words and yeah no [ __ ] a good friend of mine juan said pinchai and you know he's not grown at all and i love how his strength and skill as a warrior is exemplified even more through gameplay ike starts a bit shaky in pub of radiance but quickly develops to be one of the best units thanks to his promotion and access to incredible skills in radiant dawn he is simply a juggernaut that barely has any weaknesses whose only real obstacle is the game's increased challenge a moment i will remember forever is that chapter where you play as a down brigade against the grail mercenaries i felt genuine fear when i show up on the map and started to move that speaks lengths of how imposing he is as an enemy what else can i say i kiss a character who sounds great on paper and is even better when you play his games so the s there was a given mikaya miki is a character that i didn't appreciate well the first time because i used to think oh god she's a marissa who can't think for herself she hates chat ike a lot and has the generic caring personality but over time i've come to appreciate her a whole lot more sure mikaya is caring and empathetic but also has a lot of bitter emotions due to the discrimination she endure as a branded and begnion's abuse of dane her selfless personality to put others above herself as such that it even manifests itself as a gameplay mechanic in the form of her sacrifice skill and i think that's so wrong i wasn't a big fan of her because during the first part of the game everyone was always flapping around her and she just [ __ ] hated ike and during the lagoosa alliance war she clearly knew something was wrong will continue to fight without trying anything and once psych showed up in the story he stole the spotlight but i realized i was a [ __ ] dumbass for thinking that she brings others close to her because she has charisma and greatly cares for her people she hated dyke because he was known as the hero of the mad king war and by winning that he'd left today in being abused by bagneon since mikhail never fought alongside dyke before that she couldn't know much outside of what south told her and during the lagoosa alliance war she goes through a lot of emotional hardships she deeply trusts peleas but she also knows that his orders are wrong so it beats her against her beliefs and her duty both sides leading to a loose loose situation and once it's finally revealed what was really going on she does her best to find a solution to the conflict something she eventually achieves as for ike still in the spotlight well i do believe that it's a genuine issue but that's not really mikhail's fault for gameplay she's a magic class canon but when i first played radeon down she wasn't very good she will always leave enemies good at least one point of hp she has to constantly be protected and that frustrated me so much i know she's actually a pretty good unit but back then i got so unlucky and that's also another factor as to why i wasn't a big fan of her but as years pass i've come to appreciate how different and unique mikaya is as a character so for that i'll leave her on the 8th here to not repeat myself chrome is a modern age cigarette and by default that makes me like him he's impulsive direct and an idealist virtues that are also flaws on him as a person a leader who has nothing but utmost trust in his allies and despite how hard he is on himself and how many times the game kicks him he always finds strength in his friends to keep going awakening is a game with themes about friendships and bonds so chrome is a great protagonist because he follows through them extremely well despite his capabilities as a ruler and his skill as a warrior he can also be a lovable idiot sometimes but that's part of the charm i think and since awakening has robin who is supposed to represent the player it gives them a stronger connection with chrome and i really love that as for combat he's great he's simply great there's no other way to describe him as the first lord i came to know in the series he left a very good impression on me so krom goes to the 8th here robin this pick is extremely biased i want to make that clear you see when awakening was close to release i was very interested in the game because the trailer seemed cool the fact that i loved to play as more than nike in smash made me want to try it but also because robin played a huge role in that when i first downloaded that awakening demo something about them resonated with me the designs were simple but very attractive their outfits honestly look like the comfy [ __ ] ever i want one of those and the fact that they were mostly magic users was a huge boon in my eyes because it's as much preference i have so once i finally had the game i found more reasons to like them they were incredible units were relevant in the story without making chrome less important their personalities were straightforward but not boring and for an avatar not everyone was unnecessarily circle jerking them and their supports were genuine that's honestly my favorite part there was a true dynamic between them and the shepherds robin didn't always have to be the center of attention said supports range from daily life occurrences to comical shenanigans insightful conversations or in some cases just straight up beautiful moments i'm serious rita supports with cordelia and the one sticky has with male robin those are incredibly good my only issue with them is that this is entirely subjective i'm aware but i don't like the fact that male robin rarely has great art in heroes i [ __ ] hate this soros same face syndrome when they tried to fix him the new artist also drew him with the same [ __ ] expression unfollowing robin has the just [ __ ] me up face female robin has it way better though i love they wanna phase one she usually looks cute but to be fair it has gotten better for male robin his halloween grimoth is great even though it's the same artist from this and the valentine's going with kron oof immaculate historians will look at this art and say oh my god they were roommates but you know what's my favorite part about robin do you ever see how some people look at ryan gosling and say wow he's just like me in some regard that's honestly how i feel with robin not in personality but because they're a character that i can easily put my shoes into and make me feel part of the game i can't tell you how many times i replayed awakening and how much i like its cast and robin is the medium that helped me to appreciate it and yeah you can imagine i lost my [ __ ] when they were announced in smash again this peak is extremely biased but i can't deny that for me robin is a nest here [Music] corrin where do i begin did you guys have a character whose side actively pisses you off someone you wish you could hit good or bad if they were real that's scoring for me i don't think i've ever despised a fictional character as much as them maybe camilla but that's a story for another time corinne is a character that has every possible trait i [ __ ] hate they have one of the stupidest designs i've ever seen they're idiotic they're boring and they're the most perfect example of a mary sue someone who likes any faults and is so perfect it's unreal a character that can overcome many obstacles without hardships and to top it off everything and i mean everything has to revolve around them every [ __ ] character in the game has to jerk them off for no reason everyone will become brain dead if it means scoring will look better and every single line of dialogue will always come back to focus on them and the worst part is they do not deserve any of that because every victory they get is not earned it's given the plot will always find a way to magically help corey achieve their goal i can give you many examples but this one is the one that always stuck with me in conquest you need the help of the rainbow sage so you find him he gives you power and iago shows up ordering corinth to kill the sash they start to [ __ ] cry and before any decision can be made they say shows up and tells them oh don't worry my sweet beautiful perfect child i was about to die anyway thank you cory you're a shining ray of light i'm the best [ __ ] person in the world holy [ __ ] you're the best here grab my house kiss and go [ __ ] my wife and even after he dies corinne still goes why why would garen do this it's so embarrassing what was the purpose of that scene am i supposed to feel sad am i supposed to admire cory in specific ways no i'm just hating this character and story more with each passing second even yahoo has the audacity to say ugh you and your loopholes cause yeah that's what it [ __ ] is and it's not just that scene that's how it is in all the games even in [ __ ] smash that's pretty much how korin got into the series i mean you can always use the excuse of oh of course they're naive and dumb they were sheltered their whole lives and i will give you that if there wasn't another shelter naive character who is actually really good elincia from telugu sees someone with a similar concept who actually grows and develops throughout the course of her games and is well greeted i've also always hated the [ __ ] argument of male coring is bad but female corny is really good no you [ __ ] no matter if you have [ __ ] or vagina you're still the same dumbass on the inside if this idiot is supposed to represent the player i'm offended i'm very offended you know it's bad when you don't care about the main character but it's even worse when you actually want to see them fail and fail they did on this list corey is one of the worst main characters i've ever seen in any video game and throw them into the dumpster fire i will eat here itsuki aoi i won't spend too much time on this you guys already know my feelings about tokyo cringe sessions so it will be natural to think i don't like kitsuki right well surprisingly no i mean i don't love him either but i'm alright with him he's honestly very generic and in some aspects he can be a bit of a mary sue like how he doesn't have any aspirations on his awkward but miraculously manages to be talented and a hit with women but something i appreciate about titsuki is that not everything has to be 100 about him when he hangs out with his friends it's to help them grow and be a support so they can solve their issues i like that itsuki is a perfectly average character that i have perfectly average feelings for but hey that's saying a whole lot more than other protagonists on this list so c-tier is pretty fair alphonse or poncho as we call him in spanish alphonse is someone who i did not like at first i thought he was too serious and boring for his son goof even if his reasons to do so were justified but you know i've spent 5 years seeing him almost every day in heroes when that happens you really warm up to certain people and to be fair since book 2 alphonse has gotten much better a ton of his strengths have shine in different chapters and forging ones and he has gone through a great deal of character development which i really appreciate but without a doubt the moment that segmented how much he liked coffons was on book 3 where he is face to face against hell the ruler of death who curses him to die in a few days but that's when he stands up and tells that itself i'm gonna kill you in the span of those days which causes hill to get enraged and lift the curves and if that wasn't good already he manages to kill her by the end of book 3. that's when me and my friends start calling him the balls of ascor because dude that's one of the ballsiest things any fire emblem protagonist has ever done and that's coming from a mobile game in conclusion alphonse didn't mean much for me at first but throughout the years he has proved his merit and achieved so much i may be crazy but that alone is enough to give him an a tier in my book sharina i have incredibly similar feelings for sharing as i do with cell phones at first i thought she was loud and annoying especially because of her scream on the title screen fire emblem but now sharina is just very friendly cheerful and energetic her interactions with other heroes are very adorable and when the situation gets tired she still tries to keep herself and others motivated but you spend five years constantly seeing her some of that optimism really rubs into you my only issue is that unlike alphonse sharina hasn't changed much and hasn't gone through an arc the sharina we know nowadays is the same one from when he was released they had something going on for her in book 4 but i don't think he delivered a satisfying conclusion but regardless sharina has gone through a similar path as her brother where i've come to appreciate them a whole lot more as time passed but the lack of any real character arc core development hurts her placement a bit but beats your ain't a bad placement when you consider that kitten kitten is literally asked the players where do i put him whatever my emotional state is at the moment so i'll play it safe and put me on seat here [Music] rowan and lyanna literally who the characters rowan and lyanna were i [ __ ] do not last second inclusions on this video because i forgot they exist but even then i honestly don't remember anything about them i mean rawan is a hot-headed kiff i've seen that a thousand times before also his design is a [ __ ] disaster lyanna i can't even spell her name properly because i always end up remembering either lilina or iliana she has the generic princess personality and i think she also had an inferiority complex i don't know and quite frankly i don't care and it seems intelligent systems doesn't care either the itolis twins are the only main characters who are not in fire emblem heroes and if you want more evidence every time we hold a choose your lanes event you cannot vote for any of the warriors or sis and that is probably because they have nothing notable about them their friend darius was far more interesting and that's not really saying a lot now thanks to them not being in heroes the tier list doesn't look aesthetically consistent anymore they couldn't even do that right so did here [Music] boy left let me be brief i like bileth character wise they're nothing and i mean it they're a plank of groove judo gets some small tidbits of growth and personality every now and then but overall the violets remain as neutral as possible i kinda get that cause they're technically communically that will [ __ ] up anyone honestly i have some attachment to them cause just like robin at times i find it easy to reflect myself on them and feel part of the game i often hear complaints that they suffer from the same core in issue where they are not necessarily liked by everyone but i don't mind that here because the context is different violet is a teacher naturally you will respect a figure like that by default wouldn't you agree and finally i like pilot because they easily became the most controversial inclusion in the smash brothers franchise and you know i love that sometimes you just want to watch the world burn and pilot a chip that with flying colors so beat here they go edelgart oh my i wonder where the guy who owns a needle girl figma is going to play saddle esteer yeah it's no secret to anyone that datelgarth just like hector is one of my favorite characters of all time and that is because she left an incredibly strong impact on me when i first met her she was already setting herself apart from other protagonists with her personality and actions every time she spoke to bileth a lot of her words will always rest on it with me as the game progressed more layers of depth and complexity were added which made me more fascinated with her to the point that when they reveal she is the flame emperor that struck me hard because at that time i felt so attached to her that said plotus gave me an emotional shock but joining her in crimson flower was a decision that let me learn more about her on the surface saddle guard is ruthless and cunning someone who is willing to sacrifice anything to achieve her goals even if that includes former comrades but deep down lies a girl wishing for company someone who genuinely deserves peace and equality a world where a person's worth is valued by their merits and not by social prestige due to her tragic past title girl believes that in order to achieve her goals as fast as possible she must take whatever means she deems necessary to do so even if she's aware that actions can hurt others and i think this is the most important part to reflect on because i always see people going no edelgard did nothing wrong no thomas you completely missed the point idlegarth did gronk even if she has good intentions even if she makes a better world in her out that doesn't change the fact that so many people suffer because of her but there's nothing wrong in liking characters like that edelgard is morally gray and for me that's a huge appeal she impacted me as a player that's the best summary i can give on why i love fatal guard as much as i do cause if i were to go all out we will be here all day and quite frankly i don't like arguing about tree houses anymore i'd just rather go hell yeah she killed innocents try it it saves you a lot of time and stress but at least i hope that lets you know better why there's a lot of people out there who truly admire this character so just like hector we don't have a triple s tier here so i'll settle with the s tier [Music] dimitri dmitry holds a similar candle to railguarding how they surprised me at first he is nothing more than a chivalrous prince but as the game progressed i was able to learn more about his past and hidden emotions making him all more interesting when you see him again after the time skip you were witness to what is perhaps the lowest any fire emblem protagonist has ever been he is an obsessive blood thirsty beast consumed by hatred who sees his allies as nothing more than puns this is even reflected in gameplay by the fact that dimitri is unable to have supports for a few chapters because of that so it's wonderful how'd you eventually see dimitri learn to live with his grief and then rise to be a king beloved by his people it really makes you respect him but i gotta say for as much as i like dimitri not all of his ideals click with me and his redemption happens way too [ __ ] fast roderick dies because the plots demanded it guys it's okay i'm fine now regardless dimitri is another good example of the themes three houses goes for so the eighth here is where he goes cloud cloud is one of the easiest characters to like he's easy going immensely charismatic and very funny a master strategist who always keeps an ear of mystery around him and on top of that has a lot of appealing ideals cloth is perfect and you know what that's my only issue with them if there's ever an obstacle in the way cloud will always find a way to push through without any issues as i said already three houses is a game with a lot of grey moral themes and for a protagonist cloud doesn't do a good job in following them you know his dreams are incredible and you know his mad hoods to do so are fine there's never a point in burden wind where you stop to consider if what you're doing is good because you know it is it's for that reason why cloud didn't leave any impact on me the same way edelgard and dmitry did and to make matters worse jury from cinder shadows is basically a better version of him a cunning tactician who took any means necessary to survive and goes as far as to trick his own allies in order to achieve victory in fact if yuri had his sound full route where he is the main protagonist there is no doubt in my mind he will be a nest here i'm very sorry if it sounds some [ __ ] on cloud because no i still think he's incredibly interesting likable and charismatic in his some way i'm beating his route left me very satisfied but he still falls a bit short just a bit just a bit that's why he goes to the good old 8th year and at long last the tier list is complete i wonder if i made new enemies because of this video ah maybe not but if you did that's part of the job i guess so anyway thank you so much for watching my fire emblem protagonist tier list i've been meaning to do this video for almost three years so seeing it become a reality it feels very nice if there's any placements you'd like to put differently let me know in the comments and as usual i hope you enjoy yourself and i hope you consider supporting the channel because i'm trying to make a living out of this after all so anyway once again thank you for your time have a wonderful day and take care i'll see you next time [Music] you
