Fire Emblem : Critical Role - Curious Beginnings

[@frydfish4934]

I once heard someone say Molly is an 11 charisma with a 19 charisma attitude. Accurate summation of his character

[@jackdog06]

Molly: *the most charismatic person ever* “This is Yasha, she’s the charm”

[@icymoons]

and yet they have an 11 and 7 charisma, respectively

[@carnalrythm]

I love how stinky man has the most charisma

[@carnalrythm]

@Dylan Ellington OH HEA FJORD HAHHAHAH also fun fact abt fjord i keep pronouncing his name wrong i pronounce it as “fi-yord” cuz thats how the nordics say it

[@VirtuesOfSin]

I love Nptt's mask

[@VirtuesOfSin]

Now I want to see this play out entirely using FE, with fights using the fe combat grid and structure, ad well as these cut scenes. XD

[@ParokyaNiMarvin]

I busted out laughing when the music changed when Molly and Yasha walked in because it fit so well.

[@KuyalawVA]

And you used sound bites from the episode too! But also soundbites from each voice actor’s other work too! I noticed it with Fjord the most. Sounding like Roy Mustang

[@BenSmith-oi2xn]

his character is also modeled after the character he voiced in awakening

[@bacchianlout110]

Travis voiced Roy in both FMA and FMA:B

[@Samzikei]

Yupp I used voice clips of Lon'qu from FE:A

[@dantedrowson2511]

I loooooved his Roy Mustang in FullMetal Alchemist: Brotherhood... frigging LOVED him.

[@kabhes9040]

your saying fords sounds like a mustang?

[@nickroyer3893]

Using Ana as a model for Jester is genius, they both love money and the finger to her lip really fits Jester well.

[@15BubblesOrigami]

Although I did notice she still does have six fingers. XD

[@nickroyer3893]

15B lol I didn't even notice

[@TerminusVeil]

Jester’s art looks like they just stole a Fire Emblem sprite that already existed

[@ducksama8558]

glad im not the only pointing out the character models

[@TheOriginalTuhat]

And using Inigo’s model for Caleb is perfect too, considering Liam voiced that character in the game

[@KuyalawVA]

The character art is also extremely fitting and the way you give them each diverse expressions too is also extremely impressive

[@ZKEUS]

The expressions all come from FE:A based on the models Samazkma is using :P

[@unhackerthelaziestbastardo6083]

I would like to challenge you on Beau's and Yasha's art. But I get what you mean.

[@ducksama8558]

@@unhackerthelaziestbastardo6083 beau's character model came from FE: Fates. So you'd be right to contest

[@jime7001]

Something interesting, is that most of the cast has voiced characters in FE, Talesin being the odd one out.

[@Samzikei]

Actually Taliesin has voiced for fire emblem before! He was Navarre! It's Ashley who hasn't~

[@jime7001]

Well, I have learned something new, and I have remembered something else.

[@fantastic9361]

Taliesin also did Cain in FEH

[@deathbykonami5487]

@@Samzikei Yeah he was credited as "T.Axelrod", he also voiced Cain, Gangrel, and FEH Book 1 big bad Bruno.

[@ronanhiggz9364]

I never really thought about how similar Fire Emblem and Critical Role are to each other. Great work!

[@BenSmith-oi2xn]

well...3 of them voice characters in the games...

[@BenSmith-oi2xn]

and hell, even Fjords character model is designed after lon'que the very character that travis voiced in awakening.

[@zander6962]

All of them voiced a fire emblem character at some point (Except Ashley)

[@cjvs1604]

Ben Smith Five are in Awakening Matt: Chrom Laura: Lucina Liam: Inigo Travis: Lon'qu, Brady Sam: Donnel, Stahl If you want to count Orion, its six with Kellam and Gerome.

[@bluemage4070]

all of their roles from fire emblem are Matt: Chrom (FEA, FEH), Ryoma (FEF, FEH), Azama (FEF, FEH), Shigure (FEF, FEH) Laura: Lucina (FEA, FEH), Palla (FEH) Travis: Lon'qu (FEA, FEH), Ogma (FEH), Camus (FEH), Garon (FEF), Hans (FEF), Anankos (FEF), Lloyd (FEF) Taliesin: Bruno (FEH), Cain (FEH), Navarre (FEH), Messena (FESoV) Sam: Stahl (FEA, FEH), Donnel (FEA, FEH), Raigh (FEH) Marisha: Mikoto (FEF), Effie (FEF, FEH), Oboro (FEF, FEH, FEW) Liam: Inigo (FEA) I don't think ashley has had a role with a fire emblem character yet. FEA: Fire Emblem Awakening FEH: Fire Emblem Heroes FEF: Fire Emblem Fates FEW: Fire Emblem Warriors FESoV: Fire Emblem Shadows of Valentia

[@KuyalawVA]

Holy shit this is awesome!! It feel that this _Fire Emblem’s_ systems work well with DnD and especially for _Critical Role_

[@andyenglish4303]

I knew the WOO would have a soundbite and I was not disappointed.

[@maruisaiahnapa7381]

Two things I need to say here: 1) I hope this gets noticed by the crew at CritRole. I'd love to get their reactions to this, especially Matt's lol 2) I do hope you continue this as a full-fledge project. You have a subscriber in me- How could I not realize how well Critical Role and Fire Emblem fits together? 😮

[@mikegoldab9848]

I didn’t realize until this video but I am 100% in love with both Beau and Jester

[@invaderzam]

You should submit this to Talks Machina!

[@Samzikei]

Ah I've won for fanart for talks before I don't think I can submit again haha but ty!

[@Audiotrocious]

Samazkma you can still show them this amazing animation

[@drakkonusfrostburn4038]

You need to submit it to Talks Machina at once!

[@stuarturquhart7907]

You can always submit for GIF of the week. I bet they'd actually get more enjoyment out of seeing it move.

[@KalonOrdona2]

I love the rendering of Nott especially with her disguise and mask! Caleb maybe looks a little too clean and big-eyed, but it works. Everyone is amazing, especially Yasha, Molly and Jester. And I love that you based Fjord and Beau on the FE characters with the cotresponding voice actors. Great work! Love the other support videos, too! Subscribed!

[@Mackinz92]

I'd love to see your attempt at a combat scene in this style.

[@bcn1gh7h4wk]

7:40 Taliesin and his fetish of fancy names....... ¬¬

[@matthewcline2405]

Man, that was dope. I think I spent half the video geeking out over how awesome it was and the other half the episode trying to figure out the portraits without looking them up. Great work! Hope to see more!

[@petertilton7004]

Beauregard looks like the lovechild of Sokka from Avatar and Oboro.

[@afinchinthedark]

Marisha does voice Oboro so....

[@lukeedwards4928]

IIRC, Travis actually voiced Lon'qu from Awakening (who Fjords art is inspired by here)

[@taloscal]

And Marisha voices Oboro who Beau's art is inspired by. feel like it was intentional X)

[@cdnxman1326]

And Liam Voices Laslow.

[@Zesprit15]

Glad I wasn’t the only one to notice the similarities.

[@spikegilfer1997]

And just by-the-by, Lucina is voiced by Laura and Chrom is voiced by Matt.

[@dallasmeeker5577]

A lot of these poeple really got to bond over their time working as Voice actors for Awakening, i think that's partially why this homage was made

[@jakob5100]

Holy shit! This is absolutely amazing. I think it worked really well and I thought the models for each character was spot-on. This was super unique and something I would love seeing more of.

[@raphaelhemery152]

I must say, this breathtaking. I love what you did here with the art and how well you conveyed the feel of Fire Emblem Awakening. Those details like actual voicelines from the show, the button sounds and so much more are fantastic touches. This also underlines how amazing the player's roleplaying is. This is ,in my opinion, above fire emblem levels of dialogue writing and charm. And FE is game series I love for its character writing. And they do this improvised. I only discovered CR this year, and I am falling in love.

[@karldubois5821]

As a huge FE and CR fan, I loved this with all my heart

[@lucascronin9320]

How didn’t I discover this gem of a video sooner! This was very well done and I love the fire emblem theme. It works very well with the critical role setting. Would love to see more of these in the future some day as long as you are motivated to do so!

[@FortressoftheSea]

This is super clever! Amazing job! You absolutely captured the Fire Emblem conversation style, and the addition of the small sound bites from the show is sooo perfect!

[@Jack_Blackworth01]

This is absolutely great. Ive always wanted to watch this as an actual cutscene or comic. Outstanding work!

[@full-moongaming8224]

This was amazingly well done, as a fan of both [CritRole and Fire Emblem], I've already shared this among some of my friends and will be showing it during our next D&D game-night to the others as well.

[@Kritical_Blink]

As someone who spent a large amount of their preteen and onward lifetime playing fire emblem, this makes me super happy! I love the sound bites and artwork for each of the characters, and the backgrounds are super well done too! This is awesome.

[@judahosborne8868]

I love the use of Awakening music. That takes me back..

[@narcissusfullofhimselfsius5768]

this is absolutely fantastic please tell me more is on the way! :D havent slammed the sub button that hard in years

[@lordvaust5830]

This is actually fantastic! I love fire emblem, I love D&D, and Matt Mercer was in Fire Emblem. It’s absolutely perfect and this video was very well done. I especially love the art style. It blends the characters from critical role with the fire emblem character portraits very well. You wouldn’t be able to tell who they were based on if you hadn’t played the game excessively (like I have).

[@VillainousVillainessViridi]

[@Vegas242]

Holy crap I love that Jester has the same pose as Anna, it's so perfect!

[@jime7001]

I'm pretty sure all of them were modeled off characters in the games. Nott = Nowi (Awakening) Caleb = Leo (Fates), if I had to guess Jester = Anna (Fates) Fjord = Lon'qu (Awakening) (this one's fun, because Travis also voiced Lon'qu in the English version) Beau = Oboro (Fates) Yasha = Panne I honestly would have to take some time to figure out Molly. Time I don't want to take.

[@snakept69]

Same it really is a perfect fit.

[@aidunno1695]

Molly seems to be Gerome (Cherche's kid in Awakening) who is voiced by Orion Acaba Also, Jester's Anna is the 6-fingered Anna.
