Fallen Edelgard (Heroes) // Edelgard (Three Houses) Analysis. [What Were FEH THINKING?!]

I see what you mean about FEH content, I think it's the divide not only between the FEH playerbase and mainline Fire Emblem, but also the divide between people who come here for heavily edited content (ie support science or videos about obscure FE moments) and those who want let's plays. I'd definitely enjoy more videos from this series because I think the way FEH can expand on existing lore through Forging Bonds and what-if units is one of the best contributions it will have to the FE series going forward. I'd love to hear your take on all the heroes who are given life again in Askr or are able to meet people they never could in their old lives (recently Legendary Sigurd was a really exciting what-if and I wonder how it could be connected to the secret event in Chapter 9) if you're looking for ideas.

As amazing as Mila was as a foil to Edelgard, I kinda wish that she had a conversation with Duma. It would have been cool to see a god who had the same goal as her and talk about the deconstruction of their goal as a result.

Alm may oppose the dragon gods but he actually respects the gods and believes that humans don't need them anymore because the gods have fallen/gone insane. Edelgard kinda believes that humanity never needed gods at all. While Alm and Celica thanked Duma and Mila for everything before Duma's defeat.

[@conspiracypanda1200]

Ashera, if she had been added, would have been a nice contrast as well. She's literally a God who attempted to erase all evidence of herself and left mortals to their own devices in the hopes they would improve, and what did they do? Continued to be murderous, elitist racists, that's what.

[@heavydonkeykong5190]

@@korinoriz True. Although it was probably just a potential concern that Mila had.

[@AlphaWolf-is8zg]

Edelgard did not mirror Duma. Duma was consumed by his hunger for souls and worship. Power. Edelgard is likewise corrupted by power but for entirely opposing reasons, she craves it to liberate all mankind from the power of Gods who abuse humanity like he did. She just resorts to any method needed to ensure quick victories because she feels she lives on borrowed time due to her twin crest situation. Mila was perfect as a foil for her because she had already seen what meddling too much or too little could do to mortals, and knew how both can bring ruin from experience. Edelgard did not.

[@hungryjack1923]

I've always liked it when FEH brings up OUR world since to it to most characters see it as a fantasy world

[@nicocchi]

It's super rare, but it's there. In Book 4 there's a scene where Alfonse (? might be misremembering) dreams up the Summoner's world, and in one of Miriel's forging bonds conversations (don't know if it existed at the time of this video's release when you left your comment, but it sure does now) where she's figuring out how falling objects works and doing experiments in Askr, she's advised to talk to the Summoner since they're super knowledgeable. In the next support conversation, she has an existential crisis because there exists a world where it's known that objects fall at an accelerating rate of 9.80665 meters per second (same as Midgar) and is common knowledge among many, many other things that she painstakingly went throught the trouble of verifying. Those glimpses of the Summoner's world being the real world and Kiran being just a dude with the weirdest fashion sense ever are super cool

[@korinoriz]

Which is why it's a shame she didn't talk to Arvis in her other Forging Bonds. Only adding to the fear when fe 4 remake rolls around people will think it rips off Three Houses. Forging Bonds is a glimpse at what feh could've been instead of having characters from the series bar what just Xander? Say 2 sentences in the main story.

[@benjamingreenwood7370]

Lena and Eir will always be my favorite one. The sense of tension from the through line of the plot combined with the typical "what is life/death" topics of Eir's usual FB supports was exactly what I had hoped for, and seeing Lena pull through in the face of Eir's morose-ness was genuinely heartwarming. Easily one of the best FB's out there. ...And that's not just because I'm one of 5 Lena fanboys out there.

[@CrestofGautier]

I definitely agree how FEH can be amazing for expanding on characters. I wish Forging Bonds had more supports or perhaps a new mode in the future for more interactions with other characters. I love how she talks with Mila, but I'd still love to see interactions with Duma, Alm, and others. Perhaps even with those faithful with their own god(s), discussing their opposite viewpoints. Alm in particular would be interesting because he wouldn't have worked with "Those Who Slither In The Dark," thinking it necessary or right to sacrifice so many in order to change the world. Part of the reason I love Claude is due to how he agrees with some of Edelgard is aiming for, but stands up against her for she had gone down the wrong road that leads to too much bloodshed when there are other ways to fix Fodlan.

[@bob3294]

I thought Edelgard's conversation with Lissa was also really insightful and I'm sure she would have an even more interesting time with one of the crusaders' descendants from Jugdral. It would be great if they found a way to include more of these interactions eventually.

[@bzukaworks2294]

Not gonna lie, the title made me think this was going to be a rant video lol But in all seriousness, one of the parts of FEH I can appreciate the most is how it breathes new life into its characters beyond the scope of their games. It's nice to see people bring more attention to that, and I'm all for this style of video becoming its own series.

[@swhawk]

This is my take on how F!Edelgard's exlcusive effects in FEH can be mapped to traits she has in Three Houses: - The Slaying effect comes from the slightly increases Crit in Twin-Crests power - The extra action comes from the Twin Crests ability - Distant Counter comes from the Counterattack ability - Special Fighter (decrease opponent's cooldown charge while increasing her own) comes from the Vital Defense barrier ability, which prevents her from being crit'ed, while she herself retains a relatively high crit chance, especially when the Wrath ability is unlocked and active - The healing comes from the fact she is in a Throne tile, which heals her every turn - The damage reduction comes from the barrier ability as well. And it is once per phase, since she only has one tile of barriers, and as such she can get exposed after one hit (assuming the conditions for the battle in 3H allow the player's units to break her barrier in one hit instead of two) The ones that lack some clear mapping are: - The +2 Atk buff when transforming, as she is always transformed during the final fight. This is more of a universal mechanic for Beast units in FEH than something specific to Edelgard. Although you can see the change in stats between Edelgard's final form and the ones she has in her previous encounter as the source of this buff. - The Wary Fighter effect (preventing her own follow-ups while also preventing those of the opponent) does not exist in Three Houses. Some people say 3H Quick Riposte is like Wary Fighter, but it is actually more like an omni-Breaker FEH skill (prevents foe's follow-up while giving you a guarantee follow-up). MAYBE it is a balanced way to implement the Monster Effect-Null she has in Three Houses. (Having built-in immunity against Beast-effectiveness would be broken when she can equip immunity against Armor-effectiveness without sacrificing too much). - The in-combat debuffs she inflicts to her foe's Atk/Def. The only skills in Three Houses that debuff the foe's stats during combat are Heartseeker and similar abilities (which debuff Avoid), and the enemy-exclusive skills like Agarthan Technology, which essentially debuffs adjacent foe's Atk by 3. Hegemon Edelgard doesn't have any of these. So yeah, this may be the one skill that FEH added to make F!Edelgard fit in the meta, as this effect has become quite common in recent units that are designed to be tanky.

[@cl0k3]

I really think the conversation not being with duma was a missed opportunity for F! edelgard's forging bonds. Mila's cool and all, but I would've like to seen F!edelgard's "Humans are strong, ergo might makes right (and humans have no need of gods)" perspective. contrasted with duma's "Humans are weak, ergo might makes right (so that humans can maybe become stronger") perspective. I personally would've found that contrast more interesting, as its ironic how both figures believe in the same thing, but categorically look down on each other.

[@shizachan8421]

Edelgard does not believe in might makes right though. She enver indicates that much. What she opposes is a system in which might is distributed based on birthright and the mighty will always stay mighty and the weak will always kept weak, while she wants a world in which people can rise or fall based on their merits. In Edelgards ideal world, somebody like Dorothea would not need to whore herself out to gain any opportunity in life to rise to a better station while somebody like Dimitri would not enjoy the privelege of everything and everyone sacrificing themselves to protect him from failure and the consequences of his actions, just because the system is constructed for him to be allowed to fail his way upwards, just because he has the right crest.

[@Fishman465]

Definitely very nice and honesty I love these videos and if anyone deserves this, it's Edelgard as she's often misunderstood. And a nice nod to Orson as he's another interesting character (I do hope that there's a take on him before his wife died so we can see him before he got broken) It's interesting what FEH does some characters, often going in surprising directions (see the Grimas and how one ends up hooked on Candy and acting tsundere bout the holiday)

I found this video Great! You did an amazing job, definitely looking forward to the next one

[@tylerkelbaugh9213]

Awesome video Ghast. I've found FEH to be very underwhelming for a while now, but this deep dive has me thinking about catching up on what I've missed. I always want to jump back into FE after listening to you discuss it!

[@Frozenflame14]

Really enjoyed the video, and I love the liberties that FEH took to expand on Hegemon Edelgard. I think the FEH content is great, and you know how to be selective with what works! Keep it up!

[@FEH]

Absolutely loved this video. Thanks for posting!

[@zorritoMk]

I liked it so much, I do think its a good reflection of Edelgard! That "tall buildings and ... Functioning societies" Was it on purpose or a recording issue? It fits so well. After all the world that Edelgard wants to create is a world similar to the summoner's but we all know that the summoner's world has been built on conflict and bloodshed where unlike most the fire emblem worlds where you know that you are the good guy because you are you follow the good god and they are the evil guy because they are following the god bent on destruction (Except for Tellius) In the summoner world everyone believes that they are fighting for the right cause and the future generations are the ones tasked to cast a biased judgment on all bands in hindsight

[@herespedro4451]

Good stuff, boss. That look into the Mila and Edelgard was absolutely nuts! Ngl, I kinda sleep FEH supports and that was a very engaging read.

[@BlazingBlueSwords]

Would not mind to see more Feh Content on your Channel Faerghast, would love to see more of What were FEH thinking series. How about doing one for Dimitri next on What were FEH Thinking series?

[@Yanninho78]

I love this concept and I hope you'll do more, that's very interesting.

[@EldrickJag]

I would love to see more breakdowns/comparisons of characters from their base game and their FEH versions.

[@harrisonwhaley7872]

I just saw the Claude episode and now this one. I love this new series! Please keep it up if you get the desired views

[@unclerichardssmokedetector9769]

this video concept/format is, so cool

[@SpringDragonfly15]

I hope this does well, this is really good analysis.

[@gustavo555tani]

I think its a great way to show how heroes SOMETIMES tries, keep it up ghast

[@theantisocialtaco3468]

I like in depth looks at characters and all that so you got me subscribed. If the series continues do the Morgans

[@Trikzilla]

Great vid Ghast! Looking forward to what’s next.

[@luxionotfound438]

This is super cool!! I hope you do similar analysis videos for the other new fallen characters!

[@Kingdramana]

Pretty interesting, thanks for the analysis. Pretty fun!

[@Superluigi881]

I think Dimitri and Mila hit the nail on the head. Edelgard would more than likely become the very thing she set out to destroy had she won in that state. In CF she has a lot of people rallying behind her, they keep her from losing heart and allow her to realize she doesn't have to shoulder the burden alone. It also means she can rest in peace when her shortened life span comes to an end as her ideals will live on in other people, and possibly her children if she marries. With this version in AM's endgame she's got nothing left. Most of her allies are dead, she's been taking loss after loss since Byleth joined the enemy's side and her gambit to boost her forces with those who sliver in the dark hasn't paid off, and they'll still be around free to do as they please if she falls. A drive to fight for the future she believes in is all that's holding her together but like her appearance it's become warped. Had she turned the tables and won like this she would have likely gone to great lengths to seize as much control as possible and break down and silence any and all opposition to prevent the possibility of coming so close to losing it all ever again, while probably still claiming she has all of humanity's best interests in mind but really only believing in herself to get things done. Basically very similar to what Rhea was doing at her lowest.

[@shizachan8421]

There is also the aspect that Edelgard is only ever going that far in Azure Moon. So it isn't really just Byleth joining the enemies side that pushes her to this, as her social situation in Silver Snow is even worse, considering that all of her friends but Hubert and Jeritza abandon her there. The difference actually seems to be Dimitri. She seems to be able to consider Byleth and Claude both to be worthy challengers over who decides the future of Fodlan. In Both routes, she stays human to the end and accepts her defeat, only being melancholic that she didn't got the opportunity to walk with Byleth but otherwise dying peacefully. Its Dimitri who seems to fail to pass her judgement, so she rather sacrifices her humanity and becomes the Hegemon Husk than see him becoming the ruler of Fodlan. It is something I think people misrepresent because they want to glorify Dimitri as the main character and fail in the trappings of the routes narrative flaws, when the narrative very clearly even in his own route shows the trappings and flaws of the system they live in and which Dimitri preserves, namely that it is specifically build to protect Dimitri from failure and have everyone and everything around him sacrifice their innocence, morality and convictions just for him and him only to succeed. He can't rise up on his own, he has to be dragged up at the expense of others. So I think the Hegemon Husk isn't really a show that Edelgard is willing to do everything to archieve her goals, otherwise she would have done exactly the same in Verdant Wind and Silver Snow, but that Dimitri so much represents everything she hates, even more than Rhea does, to the extent that she feels the need to sacrifice herself to protect the world from a future dictated by him.

[@rollingtony5007]

The moment I saw the banner I was amazed at the attention to detail she has, from her quotes, art and skills. I love how IS represented her in Heroes. Great vid as always, keep up the good work!

[@tormont101]

I really really enjoyed this video. I love Edelgard myself, and how interesting she is as a character. She has so much depth, but at the end of the day, is truly flawed in her way of thinking. The forging bonds convos are really cool, and provide a narrow minded individual like Edelgard a chance to have her motives questioned by people in the positions of power she despises. I'd love to see more stuff like this in the future.

[@LunarSniperWifle]

I really enjoyed this video! Im a big edie fan so that drew me in but ive been getting back into FEH and FE youtube content in general lately. I really like how they presented her and everything you brought up. Its nice and i really look forward to more FEH things like this, and to keep watching your vids. I think you were the first FE tuber i watched lol so its nice to see you doing well and making amazing vids as always!

[@dominiquesnijders2655]

This was a great video Ghast! I would love to see more of these!

[@Silvericefox1]

I really don't like Edelgard but i still watched the video cuz i know you do make good well-thought out analysis

[@ScoopsMayCry]

I love this type of content and see more especially some of the resplendent characters like Reinhardt

[@Sonofkratos13]

I have no clue what I clicked that lead me to this video as I was just watching FGO vids But now I'm subbed this was a great video to watch and listen to

[@Lumanosity]

I really love this idea of a dissection of FEH characters. It's fun to have someone break down all the references for those of us who haven't gotten to play this game. I hope you do continue this series I would love to see you do more of this!

[@sethfam130]

This is a super cool series, can't wait to see more!

[@homesteadhero]

This was genuinely intriguing to me! As someone who doesn't have the time or money to get into Fire Emblem Heroes, but loves the series as a whole, I feel like I could glean a lot from this new series of yours. I'm sorry that this sort of content hasn't fared well in the past, but I hope it opens up more possibilities for you soon!

[@loptr9581]

I love this video concept! I’d really like to see more about conversations like the two Lyons from their forging bonds. Fallen heroes are just so interesting to explore

[@MasamuneSanadaFan]

I really loved the support between Edelgard and Mila because I felt that - finally - Edelgard is gonna have to properly TALK to someone on the opposing side of her conquest (AKA a god/dragon). That being said, I saw on Twitter that someone mentioned that they think the support would've been more interesting if they'd thrown Grima at her instead of Mila and I kind of agree. A human who despises gods and a god that despises humans would have interesting banter, I think - especially when you consider that Edelgard turned herself into something inhuman to accomplish her goals and by possessing Robin, Grima technically became human to accomplish his. (Now I haven't played Awakening yet - so correct me if I'm wrong, I just went to read on Grima briefly after seeing that comment. I'm a fairly new Fire Emblem player, started with Three Houses and am making my way backwards so I don't know most of the lore outside 3H and am trying to avoid too many spoilers. LMAO.) As for the video, I think it's a FANTASTIC concept and you should keep doing them! For the most part, the only time I see anyone talking about FEH is either to talk stats or to bash on it for the art or the info screen dialogue or the forging bonds or the game modes, ect. It really seems like the majority of people who play the game, hate it and it gets me kind down because I think there's great content to be had in FEH and people just aren't giving it a chance because they write it off as a "cheap cash grab" so it makes me happy to hear that someone actually enjoyed the content like I do and I'd like to see more, but that's just me!

[@Saber_234]

I’d love to see more FEH on the channel. I think that there’s a lot of interesting characterization and references that often go overlooked just because it’s in a mobile game.

[@digi-stranger0234]

I'm so looking forward to this Series where I can learn more about these characters and finding out that feh does its homework sometimes and I love it

[@dark74c7ics]

This seems like good content, has potential even one would say
