[@Mangs1337]

Reee Mangs, you are mispronouncing Sanaki and Begnion, reeee unsubbed disliked! There we go, I did it for you, now you can relax and enjoy the spotlight 😊

I loved Sanaki as a character. Her development in RD really made her shine. she's also a really unique character, the kind you don't really see in FE nowadays.

[@CatManThree]

Radiant Dawn battle animations man,just cant get enough of em.

[@cherry6968]

I really enjoy all the Spotlights you do and I share the same opinion on Sanaki as you; I think she is a very well written character which makes me like and use her even if she is considered mediocre/bad as a unit ! :3

[@Gnarfledarf]

And she's smol~

[@MineNAdventurer]

Cherry So in turn... WE LIKE IKE

[@emperorelucifer6527]

I love Sanaki I think this is my favorite spotlight great job mangs

[@ZephyrosStl]

Mangs, thank you for making more spotlights the past few months. They are really amazing and a blast to watch. You are doing a great job and i hope you keep this up!

[@icelerate8141]

Sanaki is definitely one of the best-written characters in Tellius. Some people argue that Micaiah being the true Apostle was dumb but it actually improves both Micaiah and Sanaki's character. Sanaki started having doubts about her legitimacy due to not hearing the voice of the goddess and started becoming jealous of Micaiah but she ended up overcoming those doubts and becoming a stronger character and ruler. Also, she eventually overcomes her jealousy and became an even more friendly person. This type of character development wouldn't have happened if Sanaki was the true apostle. As for Micaiah, she ends up turning down the offer to rule Begnion which goes to show that unlike other FE lords, she doesn't let her royalty/noble birth status define her identity. I'd argue Sanaki is a top 5 well-written character in Tellius with her only competition being Micaiah, Elincia, Soren, Jill and Kurthnaga.

[@talkingbtr-82a76]

The words well written and Micaiah don't belong together

[@icelerate8141]

@@talkingbtr-82a76 You're right. The words best written and Micaiah would be more suitable.

[@kingsaul754]

1:52 it was needed Mangs, the trolls at Serenes Forest deserved to burn

[@Mangs1337]

Just like the Begnion Senators, I too like blaming all my problems on Serenesforest.

[@michaelmagnimedia3331]

Welp thats an inside joke of how mangs doesnt have the best opinion of serenes forest well obviously nothing is perfect

[@smugmichiru3640]

You know who we need a spotlight of ... the beautiful man Oliver. XD

[@CatManThree]

Someone NEEDS to request him on patreon. Seriously. The beautiful man needs this!

[@Mangs1337]

A spotlight wouldn't be able to capture his beauty.

[@RosalinaLuma]

Its gonna be nice watching this after my sanaki put so much work in the amelia and tana bound hero battle. I really love her!

[@appi105]

I actually really grew a liking on Sanaki due to her character and due to the fact that she was One of the First five star Heroes i ever pulled in FEH so this is really interesting to me

[@Yeagerzard]

Spectacular! You amaze me Mangs. These character spotlights are always amazing.

[@LuzCeleste114]

I love sanaki. The Tellius games are my favorite to this day. Thanks for the spotlight

[@EmperorEmblem]

This pleases me! You pretty much covered everything that I can say about my favourite FE character (she's been my favourite ever since I first played PoR back when it first came out) without needing to best out my notes and get into hyper-specifics. Good spotlight!

[@NashTheChill]

Emperor explains ya picture XD

[@hazelcalderbank1556]

These videos are such high quality content, thanks for bringing us these so frequently, they must take ages to make

[@Mangs1337]

Around 8-12 hours of combined work usually spread out over 3-4 days. About half of it is research and writing, and I have a team og 3 people helping me with proofreading and a designer making the visuals, while I do the editing itself.

[@gregster1016]

Still surprised Sanaki was the first Tellius character to appear in Heroes, but she's cool so whatevs So anyway, since we're talking about Begnion, Oliver Spotlight when? :P

[@dryzalizer]

Excellent spotlight Mangs! The only thing I can think of that's missing was mention of the second mission she sent Ike and crew on, to the desert to learn about the laguz liberation army (Tormod and Muarim).

[@icelerate8141]

He mentionned the missions without going through the details but he forgot about Sanaki stopping Begnion's occupation of Daein.

I really like Sanaki! One of my favorite tellius characters! Thanks for a great spotlight Mangs!

[@BarelyDecentProduction]

one of the best characters in the series not stats wise but character wise

[@faragaroruga3229]

big forehead

[@nicolofuso909]

Hello Sanaki! This is one of my favourite characters in the Tellius saga, glad to see a spotlight about her!

[@xuanathan]

Roses are red Sanaki is a Mage Heroes didn't realise That's she's also underage

[@MiniBlackWaltz]

The Tellius series is such a wonderful series, the best in FE in my opinion. So many awesome and memorable characters and a great storyline. It is a gift to FE fans If only they were the games Nintendo and IS worshipped instead of Awakening and Fates

[@Celalec]

Still sad there was so little mention of base conversation in this video considering it's basically the support replacement in tellius. Still a great video though!

[@darkjammin79]

Though my Tellius experience isn't that deep(single playthroughs), Sanaki left a deep impression out of the cast and wasn't even deployed for most of Tellius. She was one of my favorites to use when she joined my army(was more excited than I should have been). Even out of red mages in Heroes she remains my favorite for being a little powerhouse that doesn't need to double and can handle mages. While aware of her many flaws in terms of gameplay, she is an amazing character that can draw in players despite there being better options. I'll admit looking back. One of the few things that probably helped her was Radiant Dawn's poor characterization for the playable cast, since she was relevant to story and not a new character.

[@Eliwood29]

As he's been mentioned in this Oliver is next right?

[@PrinceofProveria]

This makes me want to play the Tellius games so bad.

[@rodrigoserranocendejas7069]

7.8/10 no gargantuan forehead jokes

[@royelibe4157]

Listening to this makes me realize just how in depth the stories of the Tellius games were. Sanaki played a false character to test Ike and the Greil Mercs to see if they were worthy of being hired and then she sends them instead of her own army in order for Ike to realize how cruel the Laguz slave trade was....

[@linkedheart5653]

I really love this spotlight since Sanaki is just a really good character in the two games. I would argue about her utility but she is really bad in availability and taking hits so her utility as two stars is pretty fair, tho I still train her since she's my favorite fire mage and I like to have a mage that can double s rank each magic at end game (Soren, Ilyana, Sanaki, and Micaiah are my go to mage team). Still, great video and I'm looking forward to the next one!

[@Swordsmaster]

Although, Sanaki is required to be taken to the endgame though from what I recall, so training her and even using her is a must.

[@Mekkkah]

You can undeploy Sanaki. She's more of a liability than a help.

[@GobaGNon]

P-p-p-pitfall

[@SilverDrive92]

I never got to play Path of Radiance or Radient Dawn but the moment I pulled Sanaki in Heroes made me love her. I just need to find a good team to put her on.

[@Gnarfledarf]

Ephraim or Eirika are good team mates for her, if you want to use Rauðrblade on Sanaki, since they can buff multiple stats at once.

[@SilverDrive92]

Gnarfledarf In that case I'll need to pull another Tharja and a better Eirika since mine has bad IVs. My Ephraim is good to go.

[@tommyblack6135]

You just did the false empress of Begnion...now is time for the false king of Daein, Pelleas.

[@curiousgerado197]

I couldn't possibly be more proud.

[@grandexalt777]

You don't relasise it yet, Mangs... we found you out. You say it was someone else who poisoned Dorcas' Mutton, but it seems the Internet has uncovered the truth. YOU are the one who poisoned Dorcas!

[@Ubersupersloth]

Ok, leaving a comment below as to what character I'd like to see. Considering you've done Inigi/Laslow and Severa/Selena, it's kind of weird how Owain/Odin Dank has been left out.

[@hatchumo6243]

It's very awesome and interesting how she wears clothes that are way too big for her. It's very symbolic of her entire situation actually. Whoever designed her character is a genius in more ways than one.

[@marcvandeven8266]

Hmmmm, Bless Bolting, sounds nice! Bolting in FE10: Disarm sage and steal in Ch 2 Part 3... Welp.

you should do Donnel, mangs. And really enjoyed this spotlight

[@DerpyAlusky]

Id loooove to see Tormod and or Muarim. I feel like they need a tandem spotlight

[@hozus.7330]

I disagree with giving her Discipline - starting with S rank in fire, she needs 80 WEXP to get to SS. But Cymbeline gives a massive 8 WEXP per use, so she only needs to attack 10 times (doubling counts for two for gaining WEXP). ie. once Cymbeline has 35 uses, she'll be at SS rank for fire.

[@Mangs1337]

But Discipline doubled this, so why not just put it on her to get that SS rank twice as fast and then take it off her?

[@Mercurius19]

Great job as always, and if you're going to stick with Tellius, you should do the god of Radiant Dawn: Haar.

[@tomefilho3902]

Character spotlight for Reyson.

[@wanderingluck6593]

When Sanaki said she couldn't hear the Goddess's voice, I was surprised. That means that after all this time, the most powerful country in Tellius was ruled by 10 year-old little girl who managed to secretly stop racism and slavery and all that is corrupted in the system like a badass. That's when Sanaki became my fav FE character, girl knows how to rule a kingdom!

[@demonicgamerazazel]

low key, probably in my top 5 favorite characters from Tellius. Not top 5 favorite *units*, mind you, but definitely top 5 favorite characters.

Jesus mangs. Mekka is right. You do refer to everyone with high growths as an est. Sanaki is not an Est. Pelleas is the Est. I swear to god if you call Linde an Est when you get her in the shadow dragon play through, I’m going to be upset.

[@Mekkkah]

"kliff is an est gray is a jeigan" - Mangs

[@Mangs1337]

Sanaki IS the definition of an Est tho -Joins late -Weak bases -Good growths All three qualifications of an Est right there.

[@Mekkkah]

Level-wise she's not nearly as far below average as Est/Nino though. And her growth rates don't seem to be much better than say, the Dawn Brigade's if any tbh.

[@SavageHoundDusk]

My favorite strategy is in fact to make one magic user of every element? Use a Siege tome blessed in order to safely and effectively use them. It allows my sages to use physic to heal and artillery to supplement damage without risk. Though some of your sages may need a bit of staff abuse to hit C rank for Physic. Sanaki is very skilled with magic and hits quite hard even if given Meteor over Bolting. I still like her despite her lack of utility and her lack of raw speed is somewhat helped because she hits like a train. Though...Mangs is right. She isn't that good of a unit in gameplay. However she isn't useless either.

i had to lol at your commentary for her as a unit, it kinda sounds like you used her as a front line unit. and it feels like if you lvled somebody up in this game they would hit their stat caps regardless. The rng in this game is funny and with how bonusxp worked with 3 ticks per lvl for every stat that got capped it got easier to cap others.
