[@malcovich_games]

I probably could never speedrun a Fire Emblem game... considering most of the speedruns require killing off characters...

[@mr.random7616]

Pretty sure there are no death speed runs. Probably way longer but it sounds entertaining

[@vermasity2553]

Main reason i couldnt do it is because i have terrible RNG

[@kylewood4488-b9r]

Mabey if someone made a speedrun of the game without killing any of the recruitable characters of that route?

[@kachosuffer7]

and also this is a goddamn STRATEGY game. so much planning was put into this

[@Ephraim225]

They do? Three Houses is the only one AFAIK

[@tvftw1]

*Joe Zieja joins call* "And that's when the afternoon went from good to great"

[@lolzor96]

Geez. This game took me 80 hours for one playthrough. Just puts into perspective what you can do with enough planning and practice

[@austinknight5881]

Pretty much Joe's exact sentiment

[@averyjohnson6462]

and sacrificial pawns

[@SirCanuckelhead]

Well new game plus on normal is ez mode

[@seungkwanbot3203]

How did you spend that much time in one play through?

[@jonathanshirley4366]

Claris got to Byleth's Awakening in 50 minutes. By the time I got there which was two days ago I had 97 hours.

[@racg174]

the tea time was the most dramatic part of the run

[@Avengedtenfold]

Cool of Joe Zieja to drop buy, I'm glad he's treating the community well and vice versa.

[@Tsumi_]

Kind of devastating to see almost everyone die, but the runner and everyone on the couch made each chapter super engaging. It was nice to hear from Joe Zieja during the run, too. Fear the Deer!

[@Klaire_Fluffle]

The special guest comes on at 36:46.

[@Vikapediathat]

Killing off my Golden Deer children for the sake of speed, I’m upset but intrigued by how only having at most three units will get you through this game fast.

[@kiraina25]

Mostly the same reason that Pokemon speedruns only take 1 Pokemon to the endgame, plus one or two disposable support. Funnel all the XP into one place and let that one unit become as gods.

[@gabbyty7144]

pretty cool that the VA for claude is on commentary

[@ctrusz995]

Love how the speedrun strat is going out on one of your first missions and getting the whole class killed 😂

[@sqlace3577]

This run was the stepping stone for both me and many others into not just speedrunning this game, but speedrunning as a whole. Big thanks to Claris, Kirbymastah, and the whole speedrunning community!

[@adamkampen]

So Lysithea's utility really is just a warp mage

[@juicyjuustar121]

In the speedrun, yeah. In a normal playthrough she is one of the strongest offensive mages, if not the strongest

[@noisyfireknight]

@@juicyjuustar121 in a normal playthrough, she's both. why only warp or only delete when you can do both?

[@NaviPlayerPhase]

Coming to watch this after Byleth's Smash reveal.

[@pancake9306]

@@01devilsmilitia i agree they could have made other great choices, but smash isn't just for the west, fire emblem is one of the top franchises in japan

[@rubencantu710]

They could've had Dante dammit!

[@raikaria3090]

The fact Dimitri picked Dedue is even funnier if you hear Dedue's lines; he basically begs you to not do it.

[@OwnD1]

Great to see Joe, VA for claude included in this run

[@kylelacey1212]

This game looks as amazing as everyone said it was. I guess I am spending some of my first paycheck at my new job on it.

[@Crystalpet13]

Yo same! Treat yourself, pal!

[@thewannabemartialartist4613]

Kyle Lacey it’s absolutely worth every penny

[@Jhitch19]

If you've only seen the Golden deer route, I'd highly recommend the blue lions, honestly my favorite storyline of all the routes, enjoy the game!

[@Azulito]

Love this game and the speedrun was awesome. Great job!

[@TimeturnerJ]

Glad to see Claude getting the respect he deserves 🙏☺️

[@silviaeaber]

I was so happy when Joe arrived! He seems like a very nice person

[@tmgthemariogamer3676]

On my playthrough on hard, I did not prepare well and couldn’t defeat nemesis. By standing on the throne, I spent many turns waiting until his sword broke after hitting byleth over and over, hoping he didn’t crit. It ended up working after all thanks to Marianne using soul blade

[@xYamakaze]

Lowkey wanted Black Eagles so we could get another bidding war for Church or Empire route.

[@chariiteee]

1:27:28 makes my year lmao, we stan Claude

[@ylissotato]

I took 89 hours to finish my three houses run lol, and it was crimson flower, the shortest route.

[@juicyjuustar121]

Huh. I thought that the average run of the game was like 40-50 hours. I thought my 60 hour GD run was really long

[@Nineball757]

The first route I did was the Silver Snow route. It took me about 75 hours to complete it.

[@seungkwanbot3203]

How did you manage that? My runs always end up around 35 and I'm really bad

[@moonkoto]

@@seungkwanbot3203 do you just skip everything?

[@fukunaga-kane]

@@seungkwanbot3203 don’t you roam the monastery twice a month ,do tea time and auxiliary battles on free days? That’s how you rake your play hours. And playing in normal can cut down the playtime by a lot.

[@scarl2t]

The couch is hilarious, I love the energy in the whole room.

[@spacebumpkin1565]

This is my personal GOTY of 2019

[@amirgarcia547]

SpaceBumpkin For me it’s RE2, but this’s definitely a *very* close secondz

[@Nineball757]

I wholeheartedly agree with you. Fire Emblem Three Houses was definitely Game Of The Year for me last year.

[@Shinigami528]

Lmao the cheer during Claude's tea time.

[@otuylatuyla6922]

Timestamp?

[@Ansytea]

This might've been years ago but for anyone curious it's 1:25:30

[@matthew44able]

So nice to see Joe Zieja pop in on the run to say hi, very cool.

[@icedxmatchalatte]

They finished the game in like one and a half hour, but It took me the same amount of time to finish the final boss

[@PixelNeoGamerPlays]

This is so quick, OMG! X-D

[@amirgarcia547]

Even if BE is my go-to house, this was still a great and entertaining run to see, and it was great to have Claude’s VA himself pop up as well!👌🏽

[@jumpiestaman100]

It's pretty cool that they got the VA of Claude to call in for the stream.

[@avelata2183]

this game took me 80 hours!!! *80!* i don't care if you're skipping everything or not, this is ridiculous

[@MNtoCali]

How did they manage to get the loading screens to load so quickly? All my screens are 10-30 seconds it’s annoying.

[@jasondjjcm1658]

Just curious, what was the thing Cathrine and Claude had that allowed other units to move an extra 5 spaces? I've never seen it before until now

[@Z_Cerulean]

Stride

[@isakts8576]

Probably stride It's a battalion skill

[@Enndorii]

It’s a gambit called Stride. Several battalions throughout the game use it

[@Ephraim225]

Stride Gambit, probably

[@spenc4808]

A gambit called Stride

[@EvyDevy]

A-Are you serious? In less than 2 hours!?!?

[@xYamakaze]

Hilda, Leonie, and Lysithea as your house battle choices? Good taste. I'm sure I'll be hearing later in the run how those three are absolute beasts and a definite upside to picking Golden Deer aaaaand nevermind they're dead... Well, they are playing on normal after all. Lysithea is kept for obvious reasons and Claude too because you have to. Sacrifices must be made in the name of speed... *sniff* Save the frames.

[@musiclazer3591]

Yeah the golden deer, best house ever

[@SnailBot]

why did some of the dead student still show up in cutscene?

[@jackgreen7053]

Some students don't die when they are killed and they just retreat like Hilda

[@DeElectricJudas]

The characters don't "Die" really, they end up saying something along the lines of "I can't let it end here" and then they basically retire from soldiering and find new work or focus on studies or whatever, but for the purpose of battle, they're done.

[@zephyfoxy]

Looking at how fast they leveled up Byleth in the first aux battle pisses me off because I'm currently doing a Maddening run and it takes an eternity to just get even one level lol

[@OleNesie]

Is there a way to move the Byleth on the loading screens without motion controls?

[@Narutokiiuby]

No. Of you play in portable mode, you have to move the while console to move Byleth. But there are no other way to move they.

[@aryasecretabsolu665]

I'm a Blue Lion, but Joe sure is awesome !

[@joeydaveyphoto2032]

Thank god you spared Petra

[@gremlin_ghost]

"Gauntlets are really weak" *me, who has felix as a brawler* : ● >-< ●

[@Halcryder]

It's kinda odd. I love the Golden Deer characters the most, but my single favourite character is in Blue Lions (Ingrid), and Black Eagles has the best plot (to a certain extent). Pretty much best game no matter which way you look at it.

[@blindedfire90]

Super impressive! What surprises me though is everyone says it to the 60-80 hours for each campaign. It took pretty much exactly 45 hours each for all four routes for me. Not sure if it's because I skipped animations a lot or what but nonetheless, great speedrun!

[@cicron10]

Some battles can last for hours, so reducing them would make the game go quickly.

[@MAJJASTAK]

21:43 wait isn't hilda supposed to be dead ? (i have played the game and finished routees but i never got an unit killed so idk if that's normal)

[@TrueForm]

Units only really 'die' in the second half of the game. In the first half they dont really die, but they retreat and can never be used again, so they might as well be dead.

[@juicyjuustar121]

Well they dont really die, its more like they get wounded so bad that they cant fight anymore

[@kiraina25]

Hilda is the "lieutenant" of Golden Deer. She has an important role in several cutscenes, so if she's killed, she'll actually just retreat and be too badly wounded to participate further. The same goes for Dedue and Hubert.

[@tigerwarrior1787]

YES! I CALLED IT!!!

Timestamp for Claude's tea time?

[@ahuman6901]

Fear the deer!

[@mas8705]

I don't know why, but hearing them casually say "We are going to kill off a good majority of the Golden Deer" almost makes it sound like Byleth is an incompetent teacher. Not that it is entirely her fault that her students die off if the important ones are still there, but that is still like. "Hey teach! We did it! A shame no one else is here to celebrate our victory..."

How did Flayne survive chp 19? I'm trying to recreate the run but she keeps getting killed by the Paladins in the area.

I heard non-fans enjoy the game, is this true that its that good? I’m curious about buying it but afraid i might regret not being my type of game. I’m into games with strong lore/story.

[@amirgarcia547]

alphy nova This game has *very* strong story lore, so I’d recommend it for that alone. If you like strategy games or RPGs though, you’d enjoy it even more, even without having played any previous FE game.

[@dr.perplexed6291]

What were the signs that the people in the back kept holding up?

[@starduster2829]

I think some of them have the name of stats on. Hoping they can will the RNG into their favour.

[@willsword8100]

Best way to save every possible student, play causal and normal mode. Side with blue lions, and you can recruit everyone aside from Hubert Edelgard and Claude.

[@rickysanchez5030]

Sooo each house has a different ending or did I miss something ? :/

[@LilyWong64]

Yes, each house has a different route in Part 2 (one of the houses actually has two possible routes)

[@boopergoober]

If anyone is interested in running this game, just remember that he is Ferdinand Von Aegir.

[@thedreambirds]

80 hours? only took me about 60-65 hours for the two routes ive done so far (Verdant Wind and Silver Snow) We'll see how long Azure Moon takes me probably longer since I went from Hard to Maddening ... and maddening is HARD

[@wisp1609]

Man blue lions got way less money than the other houses. Shame, since they get the best story out of all the houses.

[@alchemistvash9090]

I disagree, I feel like they might have the longest, but I still like the Black Eagles story more. I found Blue lions to have a fairly generic story and I'm sad it got more detail then the other lines.

[@kellyjohana516]

The maps in Blue Lions are kinda long and Nemesis is a easy boss I think. It's the only one that doesn't have more than one HP bar.

[@FireEmblemForceman81]

I love the pronouns on screen!

[@Hijijiriri]

adgq is nice for including pronouns! the addition of pronouns is optional and whether each runner/commentator wants to include their pronouns so it's especially cool to see a lot of the runners and commentators choosing to list their own pronouns :)

[@josephabdilla7716]

Ngl, played through this game casually and thought it was the only bad/disappointing Fire Emblem I ever played. But this was a fun run, good runner, couch and crowd :) Speedrunning let's you get a better experience out of games sometimes.

[@andrewmurphy8234]

i wanna play fire emblem but that battle system is terribly uninteresting to me. I would rather a turn based RPG kind of battling to choose from.

[@Dragonboy55564]

Speed runs are generally not indicative of a normal gameplay experience. This one turned off all animations and skipped almost everything. It's kinda like an anime chess RPG with permanent death.
