Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn: Critical Hit and Mastery Skill Collection Part 1

[@Roze_aye]

for max damage. spin your weapon before you sttack

[@taynaramelo1130]

Anamalgam lol so true!

[@DiegoG2004]

Type-Jay Or, if you have a tome: Create a circle in the ground and spin into it.

[@soronexle2681]

Yeah, that's basically it. Maybe there's some hidden technique behind it, but it seems to do triple damage every time.

[@tyrantravealpha]

Makes sense for a Wii game

[@rasdan1192]

When we talk about physics, extra swing adds momentum. But it's realistically impractical.

Wow, my old comment from three years ago. Ah, I remember being bullied by the video creator twice, back then. Good times.

[@RDA000]

13:45 first Haar crit I've ever seen that wasn't a one shot

[@HeroKings]

Haar is so OP in radiant dawn. Which is funny because in PoR he‘s actually not the greatest. Kind of like Brom, changing his weapon to axe did wonders.

[@aki_arie]

Omgg the magic in RD looks so fuckin amazing

[@Busterman64]

Flashy and beautiful crits are flashy and beautiful! Also, never saw the mages's non-killing crit! It's make me feel all sorts of nostalgia! Also, recently realized Awakening's crits aren't that flashy (and beautiful...well, minus a few like the Pegasus riders'), which saddens me honestly. I guess having stubby feet can do that to you! ;3

[@lovesickgirlsoty7218]

Oh my god. Ive had this game for over ten years, seen this video since it came out, and only NOW do i realize the second animations are non-killing! You wont even believe how often I wondered why i never got to see the cooler animations 😩

[@astracrits4633]

@@lovesickgirlsoty7218 FE9 does the same thing, actually. It's kind of a shame, since you'll likely never see some of FE9's cooler crits (for instance, the only way I've ever seen Ike's *awesome* promoted non-killing crit is through that one scripted cutscene in the third BK encounter, and that one isn't even satisfying since it does no damage.) Seriously, why did they make the non-killing ones 10 times cooler?

[@lovesickgirlsoty7218]

Fighting Thunder unfortunately I’ve yet to play the prequel (one of my regrets, im sure playing PoR before RD would have made me appreciate the tellius story even more.) Wish I could find a compilation on yt but there doesnt seem to be any :(

[@astracrits4633]

@@lovesickgirlsoty7218 Yeah, I've been looking for an FE9 crit compilation too. There doesn't seem to be a single one out there, which is just...*dumbfounding.* It wouldn't even be hard to make one, either! With the 255 Crit glitch in the Japanese version, you can get guaranteed crits ridiculously easy for most classes without even having to hack. (Also, the FE9 Character Editor/Randomizer would help substantially with the non-guaranteed classes, since you can just boost a unit's Skill to max.) Maybe I'll just take it upon myself to make one since everyone else is too lazy too, lmao Also, *play FE9.* I don't care if you have to pirate it to play it. Just. Do it.

[@HeroKings]

@@astracrits4633 make it, I‘ll watch.

[@killmaster5038]

Hey...at least all the characters in this FE game have feet...lol

[@MrSentinel07]

I consider Radiant Dawn to still be the gold standard when it comes to critical and skill animations. I'd love to see what they could achieve once the NX comes.

[@thecrystalphoenix867]

Omg same. An FE remake would be nice tbh

[@DouglasStewart99]

Wish Granted...

[@SilentEagle3]

I find the Radiant Dawn animations to be rather stiff looking. Compared to the 3DS games, it trades flow for weight.

[@AnTran147]

stefanfr13 Awakening was far below this in quality.

[@ApexGale]

I'd say physical classes looked cooler on GBA, while mage classes skill animation looked better in RD. I love when someone procs Flare or Corona, or just a straight up crit.

[@diortememirp]

I love how most characters get knocked backwards when they get criticaled. Nice touch.

[@floris1111]

I love how the axe cavaliers don't leap away after striking like the other cavaliers because axe users are typically more aggressive, like kieran

Mist killing Tormod with her staff was absolutely hilarious.

[@slowpokefriedrice]

[@Tonsoszaliron]

The staff crit animations aren't completely accurate! They're missing the "plink" sound! :V

[@MuteLung]

I've always appreciated that the flying units had slightly different crit animations depending on whether they were engaging a ground unit or another flying unit. Really nice touch. Have you ever thought about redoing this collection, or maybe doing the Path of Radiance crits/mastery skills too?

[@david-je4zx]

If the 3DS is more powerful than the gamecube why isn't awakening even close to being as good looking as this game?

[@kimerson777]

Where'd you hear that? 3DS is more powerful than the N64, sure, but it's roughly a little less powerful than the gamecube, if i recall correctly.

[@david-je4zx]

kimerson777 I just kinda google:d it and there is a lot of people saying the 3ds has more powerful hardware.

[@AnTran147]

3DS is about similar level to Gamecube, just with better shaders. That's just about it.

[@Nedoxu]

you forget that this game was on the Wii. :P

[@david-je4zx]

Nedoxu sure did, but there isn't much of a difference anyway.

[@Aghaene]

I don't know why, but I find it just awesome how Brom does a shield bash on his non-killing crit.

[@lametrain9667]

This is my first time seeing these animation in a while as I haven't played RD in a while and DAMN these looks brutal.

[@zachm9256]

Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn should be re-released so more people can play them. Not remakes. Literally the exact same games built for different systems. That way they won't turn into dating simulators and "lol phoenix mode"

[@astracrits4633]

Zach Meinecke Yes. Edit: Actually, maybe not exact. Somebody better replace the voice actors with...uh...I dunno, Morgan Freeman or something. And actually properly translate the difficulty modes for once.

[@mochico88]

I just finished this game, so when does Micaiah fight the Black Knight? I always remember him helping her out...

[@browncoatkevin]

The only way for the two to fight would be for her to use a Purge tome on him in 4-E-2 if the game even allows that due to the barrier... the way it happened in this video was clearly hacking the game (lots of red vs. red battles being here also help prove that).

[@shadowofchaos725]

@MrRangerike The "item values" are pointers to the location of the item in memory. If you look on Geckocodes the values are there. For example: 80B5FDE0 - Bronze Sword, is the first one on the list. That is the location of the Bronze Sword on the table and its attributes are there. Since it's the first one on the list, I assume that's where it starts.

[@shadowofchaos725]

@TheSekusen I'm blaming my Dazzle at the time. But I'll be redoing this... eventually. Like the GBA Critical Collection.

[@riastarthay]

Thank you. I've missed a lot of those "non-kill" crits. They look really cool *___*

[@shadowofchaos725]

@OnionMovies You can do that in two chapters in Part 3. As for the other times in the video, it's because I hacked them :P

[@Busterman64]

Having someone kill someone (or crit someone) with a staff is still hilarious to me whenever I see it! I try to do that whenever I can (especially endgame with Elincia who has beautiful strength at that point)!

[@theleftfootedsultan]

The sheer power behind the wyvern crits against grounded enemies is incredible. I wonder what those things weigh. Given how much speed they have when they slam into a target, the force behind those hits must be getting close to a decent car crash. It’s a dark horse candidate for my favorite animation in the series, that’s for sure.

[@Sagerronan]

Oh, Rey. You have outdone yourself yet again.

[@syndixel9857]

I can imagine the enemies going like "TRAITOR" when you used their allies against them.

[@SusanRavenwolf]

Knight? She looks like a pegasus or a Heron but without the utility hahaha

[@nileriver216]

+Blue Fire A knight with those stats? Bad defense and Strength but better Luck and Speed. She sounds like a Myrmidon or even Archer in disguise! Aran the Soldier/Halberdier with his high Strength, HP, and Defense is more of a knight then her! 🤣 The Creators of the game could have given Meg the Myrmidon or Archer class or just buffed her stats up more to be a knight. They could have gaven Aran the Knight class since his stats are closer to them then soldier class. It's wishful thinking. Meg could have been alot better when you get her. I also wished they made Leonardo and Fiona better units to.

[@hecatia666]

Never saw staff dealing critical hits before

[@cgk1276]

Damn Radiant Dawn is cool

[@soronexle2681]

Now that I look at these tome animations, they kind of look like the spells in the Persona games. More specifically the wind ones. Wind isn't anything similar, but the others are in comparison with P5. Elwind looks like Garu, Arcwind looks like Garula, Tornado looks like Garudyne, and Rexcalibur looks like Vacuum Wave or Panta Rhei in P3 and P4.

[@Marshal_Lepus]

*these animations looks similar from [game]* so... wind spells doing wind things.....

[@soronexle2681]

@@Marshal_Lepus Yeah. Just wind things. I mean, wind blades and tornados were used in the previous games so its nothing new, but these wind animations seems so comparable to the Garu spells.

[@TheCoolerDrilis]

Have I really never seen a spell critical in all the times I've played this game?

[@kakashi0909]

speaking of fire emblem and its awesome tank knights, i still remember how awesome the knights when their shield was part of their armor like in the GBA games. to think that on that thick armor, they can get even thicker with the shield. as slow as they are, its okay with me considering i love using the diagonal shield tactic.

[@yuuotosaka2834]

Why does soldier unit swing lances????

[@justcallmexen]

There is a lot I could say, like how there is no Fiona even though she is a lance knight, but really the biggest takeaway I got was... who's idea was it to have bow knights fire arrows to the right side of their body? Astrid here has to turn so far that her right that her right arm is over her left leg. That is perhaps the worst way to try and use a bow, just turn the horse to the right instead and fire left!

[@MaxxyBee]

if that happened to me from 5:32 to 5:48, i would throw my wiimote at the screen

Kevin Smith Assuming the same level and both units having average stats, I think Mist might actually win if she had one of the magic swords (ie Storm Sword, Runesword, etc.) Weapons triangle advantage combined with Boyd's relatively low Res and Mist having a high enough STR to wield a magic sword without being slowed down make for some classic wtfraep.
