Happy birthday Binding Blade. I decided I had to put out a video talking about my favorite Fire Emblem game, though I got it out a little late (technically I suppose it’s still the 29th in America, so I guess I’m good?).

Anyway, here’s my 10 reasons for why I love Binding Blade. Enjoy!

1:59 #1: Roy’s Story is focused on the Continent, World Politics, Weapons
5:31 #2: The Game feels like a Journey
7:12 #3 Nation At War
8:48 #4 Hard Mode, challenging but beatable, and fun
11:44 #5 Some Units Are Sorta Bad
17:34 #6 Supports
20:40 #7 Map Design, Some Maps are Spectacular
22:22 #8 A small army grows quickly
24:05 #9 A HUGE Roster
26:43 #10 The True Ending is Fufilling

“Chapter 7 is not only one of the hardest chapters in Binding Blade, but in the entire game”

Ah, yes, the floor here is made up of floor.

We did it boys, Binding blade is legal now.

Mangs: Blames parents for not being born on the same day as his favourite FE game

Your mother just wanted to LTC the labour process.

I misread the title as "blinding bald" and was terribly intrigued at the prospect of seeing a little more details on the hack

“Wolt will never be a good unit”

This did not age well Mangs

#11 The story also happens DURING the missions. You witness important events while playing the game rather than experiencing gameplay and story separately. This greatly improves the pacing and adds to the storytelling.

Happy Birthday Binding Blade lets hope the possible future remake makes Roy good

I ended up playing binding blade recently with a group of friends and found myself enjoying it way more than I did on my first playthrough.
I resonate with the feeling that you have if you bring one of the scrub lord units in the beginning across the whole game. I ended up using fucking Bors of all people and not only did he have a surprising amount of dialogue I didn’t know existed, but he ended up being really fucking good and I watched this nerd turn into a monster who couldn’t die and had 15 move by the end of the game lmao.

Fun fact: Even Sakurai, the main developer behind Smash Bros, says that Roy is a bland protagonist. He said that he made the Smash Roy so mature and cool looking because that's the impression he got from him when they showed him the design but became disappointed when he played the game and realized he portrayed Roy wrong

I'm glad you acknowledged the scale that comes with facing Bern, it's one of the reasons why I think the villains of FE6 are the best in the series as they feel like the most threatening through gameplay

[Eliwood]

I love the Gaiden chapters needing certain requirements and the secret ending stuff too Paralogues in the modern games just dont have the same feel to them for some reason

[poisontango]

That first point is really interesting. I've always held the opposite to be true: If you have good, established, developed characters, the world doesn't need to be that interesting. That point also builds on something Mangs said forever ago that stuck in my mind for some reason about Fates, that you never get a feel for the world, what it looks like, where you are. The map annoyed Mangs, which was something I just never noticed but couldn't un-see after he pointed it out. The fact that that in particular annoyed him makes more sense in light of this.

FE6 makes Swordmasters and Snipers decent. They have their actual uses unlike many other FE games, so I like it :D

“Play perfectly every time.”

0:23 Think of it this way: Now you have a reason to party for 2 days straight.

Bloodthirsty Mango: "I like it when there's a war"

[PocketPepsi]

If you're really into world building, you absolutely have to play Xenoblade definitive edition when it comes out. The game has some really incredible lore, as well as some great characters

Mangs: BB is old enough to drink in some countries

US: *confused heavy breathing*
