An Analysis Of Travant, King Of Ambition: As Told By MS Paint

[@LonerofGaming]

Travant is basically almost exactly what I wanted Garon to be, like if Fates didn't do the whole "the real Garon is dead and replaced by an imposter" thing, Travant is basically how'd I'd imagine him to be like.

[@inari3217]

Another point I really like about Travant (anda few other first gen crusader descendants) is that they almost seem to be cursed by their lineage, and can't help themselves but stick to conflicts and ideals that seem to be inherited from their ancestors. Sigurd ultimately died because he was too busy being a righteous knight doing righteous things to notice he was being manipulated. Eldigan died because he was too hung up on being loyal to Agustria's ruling family branch. Travant and Quan died fighting each other's family branch, continuing the conflict that started with their respective crusaders.

Can I just express how happy I am that there's someone out here actually making videos about these characters that isn't a wiki recap?

[@NynaSunner]

And that isn't 70% unit usability analysis

[@noishfanboy1141]

Something I wanted to add since the fe4 oosawa manga finished the translation of what correlates to fe4 chapter 9 and this travants arc: It plays out mostly the same but the main thing they added is that travant loved ethlyn as well which is mostly important for an emotional gut punch when altena realizes travant was reffering to her birth mother the whole time. My favorite addition is that before he goes on his suicide charge he tells arion to tell altena that he was only using her as a pawn or only valued her for her holy blood to make it easier for her to leave him and join her real family. This is just really sad man like we never actually find out travants true motives for taking altena whether he wanted a gae bolg soldier or whether he wanted it to be the start of a unified thracian nobility. In fact his whole character is somewhat vague except for that he loves his children. And hell they even do the cliche thing where after travant dies he sees a young altena telling him there's so many flowers in heaven. But like it also works because the flower is meant to represent thracias future so that the mountains will bloom with nature leading to prosperity and like goddamit manga travant almost made me cry he's so we'll written.

Same

[@QueenAleenaFan]

The best villain and fe4 is definitely the pawn shop owner.

[@yukithesnowman314]

IDGAF if he murdered Quan and Ethlyn and did a lot of messed up crap, he's still my favorite Fire Emblem character of all time all given he is willing to destroy his reputation with non-Thracia citizens if it means HIS people are protected, and provided for. I never been in a poverty state, but I've seen what has it done to people, so I sympathize with Travant's actions.

[@valtinryu8147]

Travant is the pinnacle of "He was the best guy around!" "What about the people he murdered?" "What murdaaaaaaah?"

[@eleonorepb4565]

10:27 technically they are distant cousin since their ancestors were sibling

[@BAIGAMING]

I'm glad you covered Travant! My memory was bad, I swore Travant had more scenes in FE5, I'm surprised he only had that one scene but you're right. I'm happy the ending was very pro-Leif, one of the more underrated protagonists!

[@absoul112]

14:00 You can argue I'm splitting hairs, but the more accurate word is xenophobia. Yes, it's still bigotry, but I think it's better to not misuse words. Travant is one of the reasons I hope a remake of FE4 is willing to expand upon what's there, like SOV (only maybe they change some of Thracia's section to better reflect it's state).

[@Lilmont789]

I will say the Trav-ant did get me. (Besides obviously being so eager for more fe4 videos)

[@paulrubens776]

3:55 painfully accurate meme

[@roxisultimate8152]

For me Travant always epytome of fe4 message "to not hate people but hate only their evils" Arvis for me far epytome from this even the game potrayed him to that way but the sin of past he had done to Sigurd is too big to receive a simply mercy.

[@joeyjose727]

I’m obsessed with your vids, these characters I’ve never heard of and games I’ve never played… so interesting, FE has such a long history

[@aleelrecopilador702]

Travant is a dark grey character

[@davidgoldammer348]

Now that i'm on the last chapter of Thracia 776, gotta say, even though Travant didn't do anything, he got a nice new portrait from that game at least! Banger video for a banger character. Also go play Thracia 776

[@shytendeakatamanoir9740]

And the updated version of his theme is also great!

[@davidgoldammer348]

@@shytendeakatamanoir9740 Oh I totally agree with that too.

[@Mapleknight12]

I'm glad that you closed out on my Discord meme, great video!

[@jimmyfe6746]

Travant is super awesome and one of my favorite characters. I love how developed his reasoning is for what he does, even if the stuff he does is terrible from our view.

[@Finnland278]

Man nothing like a good old analysis on Fe4 with memes mixed in to keep people's attention span. *Now that's strategy*

[@QueenAleenaFan]

While I was sympathetic to travant, I always wondered Why he never just entered vassalhood with Leonstar

[@GeaForce]

I mean, if he wanted to restore Thracia's economy he could have started a wyvern postal service... Or better yet, an Uber Eats

[@unknownpitfall6135]

I just realized: the death of every fire emblem parent started with Fe4. not sure how I feel about that.

[@bigarcana5553]

That part where you went on about Travant being an absolute scumfuck bastard then cutting in with the Veggietales clip was peak

[@Dingbatman420]

I still remember the first time I saw Travant ambush Quan and Ethlyn and I started panicking because I thought that I coul save them and reset multiple times to try and save them and after like six times I just sat there and started tearing up.

[@mr.sandstorm]

Travant is easily one of the best villains in all of Fire Emblem

[@unknownpitfall6135]

15:05 I am the only person on planet earth who thinks Greatsheild was a good idea in Fe4, and well executed.

[@quietuptown78]

I'm afraid it's possible that you are.

LETS FUCKING GOOOO

[@unknownpitfall6135]

one more comment for the algorthim: oh shit you did an Anna spotlight? I gotta check that out, time to scroll for ages.

[@piplup2884]

I just watched a 16 min video because of trav-ant

[@nevrikx]

Despite being beaten down Travant would eventually rise to the top. He dies in the story? I know I was talking about how many times he lost the character Poll

[@unknownpitfall6135]

I liked the video, then when you reminded me to like, I forgot I had liked already unliked, and felt stupid and liked again. thanks MS. by the way, are you going to do a Fe5 randomizer?

[@usvidragonslayer3091]

Nice
