It just baffles me why nintendo wouldn't sell their older games on the nintendo eshop. Genealogy would sell like hotcakes, but instead, those who really want to play it will be playing it for free, elsewhere.

This title looks like one of those online game ads, lol. All jokes aside, this was a great video.

[@TyGuy9001]

This is a wonderful preliminary guide for the game. As someone who has finished this game with the best total rank on their first go, I gotta say, these fundamentals are some of the most important things to know. If anyone in the comments is putting off playing this game, I highly recommend giving it a shot, especially if you’ve never played a Fire Emblem game or just never played this one. What Chaz says here, and what he will likely go over in the second video, are basically all you need to get started. Don’t worry about missing something or not knowing about something honestly. Remember, you can save multiple times per chapter so you can always go back to fix mistakes if you want! Glad Chaz made this, and I’m personally looking forward to what he makes next!

[@rpgrunaway8321]

Wait, you got A in every category on your first try??

[@TyGuy9001]

[@rpgrunaway8321]

@@TyGuy9001 that's hype

[@user-un-known]

@@rpgrunaway8321 Yeah, single B in any rank with all others at A gets you to total A, and the turn count difference between A and B is quite big. Still, getting total A on first run? Wow. Must have realized the paragon arena is main source of exp. Average lvl of 27 gets you A in exp rank, but to have it on first run? That means Ardan was not left behind to guard castle for eternity. A hard thing to do on blind run, when game tells you to keep him on guard duty. I fell for that trap.

[@dryzalizer]

Chaz, in part 2 I demand you mention that roads cost 0.7 mov. Not because new players need to know it, but because experienced players need to know it too. Arden can take 7 steps along the road turn 1 because 0.7*7 = 4.9, which does not exceed his 5 mov. Figuring this out over areas with roads + plains is a bit trickier, it involves grade school decimal math.

[@TheDeathby2]

I thought it was 2/3 per road tile, like it costs 2 mov to move 3 tiles of road

[@dryzalizer]

@@TheDeathby2 Nope. If you check Terrain Data on serenes, roads are shown to take 0.7 mov per tile for everyone except flyers.

[@Kuma5655]

I feel like a localized FE4 would've been a cult classic. An Earthbound-esque situation where it's a little too niche to hit everyone but those in the know cherish it. Anyway, I just wanted to say that your previous FE4 video is one of my favorite videos on this platform. And although I already know how this game works, you bet I'm watching this anyway.

[@l.n.3372]

Arvis killed a bandit right in front of Sigurd on my first playthrough. Sigurd mourned the loss of free exp

[@tyloschsosas]

Arvis is the man

[@user-un-known]

Alvis could potentially solo Verdain, Augustria and Silesia😂 Maybe even Isaac, depending on whereabouts of that sword. Lenster and Thracia could probably stop him. With huge casualties, but still. Especially if they team up. I also find it neat that the only man in Augustria/Verdain combined, who has any chance of stopping Granvale invasion, lives right at the border of Augustria/Granvale.

[@Xvimpaler]

Your editing skills are through the roof, it's freaking me out Great content as always. Careful when using maths formulae though, it's not always the best introduction to newcomers.

[@mattthecompletionist2428]

I just want you to know that when I saw your "5 Reasons you should not play Genealogy" video back in June of 2019, I had no interest in the entire franchise. I wasn't even fully watching it, just listening to it when I was feeling really dazed one day. But it convinced me to give it a shot. Fast forward to January of this year when I finished the final chapter, not only has it become one of my favorite games ever created but I'm now going to play every FE game in order of release (excluding Thracia 776, I jumped into that because it's the only other Jugdral game. Currently on Chapter 6 and loving it.) It has such a good story to gameplay cohesion that I feel would be lost with animated cutscenes in a remake personally, like the NPC battles. I don't even think this game is that clunky, and I love the vast maps unique to this game apparently. This game with the systems it has in place is perfect for it specifically. I wouldn't change a thing. Oh, and shame on everyone who casually spoils THAT event. I'm happy you didn't as I experienced that blind. Easily one of the most legendary moments in any story for me. So thank you so much! I also want to point out that I've gotten 3 of my friends to start the game with one of them in the second to last chapter, all of which had either never played an FE game before or had just played Three Houses and Awakening. In other words, your videos have done justice in spreading the good name of FE4. Lastly, one of my favorite things for my playthrough that I did was not touch the game for 4 months after beating Chapter 5. It legitimately gave chapter 6 so much more impact for me. EDIT: ALSO, I totally think this game would be heavily censored even in Japan if it got a remake. There's some really surprisingly... adult things in the game that I cannot see even Nintendo of Japan keeping to give it a lower age rating there. Especially since FE4 was released before their age rating system existed.

I started this game because I've heard so many wonderful things about it. But I'm not enjoying my time. I've pushed myself to chapter 8 somehow.

[@crimsoncutz8430]

Fire Emblem: Genealogy For Everyone is the 23rd game in the Fire Emblem series and is a remake of the fourth game, Genealogy of the Holy War. Released in 2026, it earned great critical acclaim for its efforts to fix several frustrating and tedious aspects while maintaining the overall feel that made the original so beloved, but has been the target of criticism in some corners for changing too much. Common points of contention are the adjustments to weapon balance resulting in swords no longer being overpowered, the addition of several new characters, some of whom get as many as four lines of dialogue, and a particularly controversial sequence in chapter 8 where the dragon knights of Thracia challenge the citizens of Manster to a dance competition.

[@fakesmile172]

Jesus dude, this editing is off the charts. Even though I had major events spoiled for me, I still cried a little. This is one of my favourite games. I think Kaga's best strength is making the story, gameplay, and music feel connected, and while I think this is more present in FE5, it is still done very well here. I don't think this is the best SNES game, which I believe to be Super Metroid, but both FE4 and FE4 are probably in the top 20, or even 10 (SNES has a lot of amazing games okay). I do think that this game is clunky, archaic, and needs quality of life improvements. Do I care? No.

[@pizzabagel3840]

I've never played Genealogy, but I will criticize Genealogy. The game is clunky and archaic. I don't know in what ways it's clunky and archaic, but other people that have also never played Genealogy have told me that it's clunky and archaic, and I believe, because I want to. Therefore, I'm waiting for a remake of this game where they'll fix the clunky and archaic mechanics. I don't know what those mechanics are, but once the remake comes out and I love it, I'll happily declare that the designers listened to me, because I'm smart, and fixed the clunky and archaic mechanics. I'll say this even if they don't change a thing, because I still don't know what the mechanics are that I'm talking about. But wait, why would I say that Genealogy is a clunky and archaic piece of trash (which it is) even though it's one of the most beloved games, not only in the Fire Emblem series, but in gaming as a whole? Well you see, it's simple, I have better tastes than older people. I love to go around saying that old games that I don't like, or haven't played, didn't age well. This allows me to say that my opinion about a game is objective fact, and it's not that people who like these games are wrong, they just aren't as smart as me and can't realize that games become less fun because new games exist. Take Mega Man 2 for example. Literally no one ever complained about having to open the menu over and over to change powers. Nope, no one. Not a soul. It definitely wasn't an issue pointed out by a lot of people playing it, but the game was still loved despite that. It wasn't until Mega Man 11 was released, and we could use the right stick to quickly change powers, where people realized that going to the menu was kind of annoying. Why did they fix this issue if no one even knew it was an issue to begin with? Shut up. Mega Man 2 is now literally unplayable because Mega Man 11 exists. What I'm trying to say is, don't disagree with my opinion or I will call you entitled, elitist, and blinded by nostalgia for poorly aged games, and because you can't prove me wrong (and because I obviously know what's going on inside of your head better than you do), I must be right. Anyway, good video, but I'm going to have to leave a dislike because you didn't get up to pee during any of it.

[@TyGuy9001]

This was hilarious, thanks pizza bagel

[@Mishimachine]

The satire hurts me. The term 'archaic' to describe game design is my biggest pet peeve, because it's an empty word that means nothing to describe why they don't like it, or any understanding of the context of the mechanics or how the interactions of them affect the player. Yet people accept such non-description at face value. Human emotion doesn't just change, so how archaic mechanics affect a tailored experience doesn't just become obsolete over a few decades. Demanding design to be homogeneous to only what they are familiar with in modern games takes away from a game's potential, only to reduce them as the most baseline form of immediate entertainment.

No waifus to be seen in the guide, no reddit threads, but most notably, the most visually impressive video I've seen from you so far.

I love this game. Played it for the first time ever summer 2019. I would love a translation available on the switch, or a remake. Pretty much anything really. It's my favorite FE game and has been since that summer. I definitely go back and forth about what flaws I would like to change for the potential remake. Part of me wants to keep the experience intact. Then a part of me remembers heavy fire tomes and axes compared to practically no weight swords and wind tomes, and then I remember what quality of life updates can do for an old game. I really hope that they take a lesson from Echoes and actually make better improvements where needed since FE4 is already better than base Gaiden. But even if nothing changes, fully voice acting, animated cutscenes like Echoes, and extended dialogue for support would be the dream. Great video and I love the picture for the video!

As a relative FE vet by this point, the comment about feeling how your units will preform seemed ludicrous to me for half a second until I remembered two things: My first playthrough of any FE game, Awakening Casual Normal, was basically this. By the time I realized what the numbers signified, there were too many bonuses I wasn't aware of to get a clear picture of how everything fit in place, like support and weapon rank bonuses. I ended up playing the game without ever doing math outside of the battle forecast. The other thing I remembered was a comment Kaga made (regarding FE1, maybe? I don't remember) about trying to keep the game user-friendly by trying his best to do exactly as you said, let players feel the strength of their characters without needed to work through all the numbers. Dunno where I was going with this, it just stuck out to me and I felt I should share.

"Does that mean you shouldn't use unmounted units? Hell no" I can already sense a certain section of the fanbase foaming at the mouth in rage.

*angry Mekkah noises *

[@Mekkkah]

Day 500, still waiting for someone to tell me when I hated on anyone for not using mounted units.

[@shanner]

@@Mekkkah more like angry mekkah fanbase noises but honestly idk why everyone thinks you're obsessed with playing efficiently

[@mrbilter83]

@@Mekkkah we all know you didn't but playing like Mekkah = playing optimally = using horses more it's just a joke in the fanbase

[@GobaGNon]

Mekkah It’s just a gag, nobody actually thinks you shun people for it

[@tonymack]

Omg GREAT video Chaz. This is so useful and needed since we dont have an english release in the west.

Finally hit 100k views, totally well deserved 🥰

My wife’s baby was born to this video, thanks chaz

[@AverageTreyVG]

love the editing and frosted flakes theme-song parodies as always, bro

[@dorcasmutton6335]

Man I started playing Genealogy for a while and then I just... Stopped. I don't know why, it's already my favorite game ever made just based on the 2.5 chapters I played (including the prologue). I know I lost a lot of progress because I forgot to save, but idk why that would make me *this* reluctant to go back. Anyways, rewatching this video has given me the determination to go back and play that game. Thank you, you beautiful man.

[@michaelevelti8536]

Started out with sacred stones back in the day, and although I've played all the other games released in the US to date, I think genealogy is my favorite so far. Looking forward to finishing it then starting 776. Keep up the good work!

[@PrimalDirective]

Thanks Chaz, this guide got me laid.

[@776Mine]

I’m... really gonna miss your vids if you ever gonna stop... videos like these are just so amazing and am going to miss your godlike editing

[@OwnD1]

Wow, I just started FE4 for the first time yesterday and this beast of a video drops??? I’m more excited for this than the Animal Crossing Direct annoucement

[@OwnD1]

I will say though, Chapter 2 was a slogfest with my foot units

[@Phonix463]

I was unknowingly playing a hack for FE4 that made it much harder than usual and was planning on quitting until I found out it was a hack from watching gameplay footage of mang’s walkthrough. Can’t wait to try this game again under much better circumstances.

[@mattgreen7692]

Can we just appreciate that Chaz has some of the best editing on KZbin?

[@leanthegreen]

Had been putting it off for a long time, but finally beat Genealogy for the first time! Super fun experience. This video really gave me the push to start it a few months ago, so I appreciate it. Now, on to Thracia!

[@Choops6969]

sick and congrats

[@MarcomixToons]

This is genuinely entertaining, informative and snappy. Thank you!

[@qkrtodl]

As someone who's fallen into the fiery pits of FE in 2013 and stayed there since, thank you for making this video. Makes me wish I could play Genealogy of the Holy War for the first time again 😭

[@kentshrock947]

I've been wanting to ppl ay this game, but didn't know emulation (basically reason one), but then I look up "genealogy of the holy war flash" and found it in about 3 minutes. I'm captured the first castle in chapter one and loving the game so far. thank you for this guide!

[@awesomeradicalbro]

As someone who first got into FE with the 3DS games and is now going back through the older games, I'm grateful for you and other FE youtubers for selling me on the older/more obscure games in the series. I'm probably gonna give Genealogy a try after I finish my current playthrough of Blazing Blade.

[@mattward1581]

This is probably the most concise and straightforward way of describing how to play my favorite fire emblem. What I like about this game is the love system, future titles really neuter the player if they don’t make pairings but this title offers sub characters to accommodate for anyone’s play style

[@PowerUpHeros]

Would very much love a play through where, after giving thorough analysis on each ring in the game and who would most benefit from it, you followed it with “I’m gonna give it to Arden.”

[@pokegreen1123]

Amazing editing, great entertainment, and really helpful advice. Yep this is most definitely another good chaz video.

[@FinhBezahl]

It is excellent new player advice when you show & explain that you should be giving XP to your other units. This wasn't clear to me at all during my first playthrough and I just threw Sigurd at everything. 5 chapters later with approximately 95% of my other units dead, I had to restart the whole game because I could not get past a duo of mages with sleep staves

[@ashkuhlmann7432]

Yesss Chrono Cross music! It’s been so long... 4:00

[@MLESoup]

Checking in to say thank you so so much for this, and your "part 2"! I was very intimidated and confused by the systems of this game, and it put me off for many years. Now, I'm on Chapter 10 and am enjoying one of the best games in the series. I don't think I could have made the plunge without you!

[@Choops6969]

that's amazing. "part 3" of my guide will be how to cope with the enivitable depression once the game ends.

[@MLESoup]

@@Choops6969 Gonna need that ASAP 😩👌

[@laprayprey]

Nice, Mekkah's FE4 beginner guide now in video form, with funny edits, jabs, and soundboard.

[@Choops6969]

Minus the section spoiling items that are "too good to miss".
