Lore Behind The Bosses | Fire Emblem Fates

[@-memoria-2136]

Although it's definitely not without it's flaws, I still think Takumi being the final boss of Conquest was such a badass concept. The idea of both Corrin's decision and hyperfocus on redeeming Garon allowing Anankos to claim another victim - one much closer to Corrin - embodying the consequences of their actions. Shame it's been so spoiled by memes and FEH because it was insane to witness blind.

I want to use this to say this. First of all, well done, this video is an excellent analysis of the lore behind every boss, you left no stone unturned and you even coved the paralogs and DLC, though admittedly, I wished you mentioned hiers of fate during Anankos's section. But that's my only complaint. Well done. After watching this video, replaying Birthright, Conquest, and Revelation, and thinking about how I would improve the story (though do keep in mind that I am not a professional writer and I do genuinely enjoy all 3 paths, so don't take this as me bashing the game because I really do genuinely love it), it has all got me believing this. I think the issue with Fates writing in my opinion is that it feels for a lack of a better word, first drafty, like it feels like they wrote the very first draft for each path and put in what they had in mind but they didn't polished said draft. In addition, according to a video detailing the behind the scenes, thr original story draft was several watered down. Which definitely feels like it in the final story. Despite all of that, I still genuinely love this game so much. It's my 3rd favorite game in the series behind Sacred stones in 2nd and three houses in 1st. I know it's extremely unlikely to happen, if Fates gets a remaster, remake, or a Xenoblade chronicles style definitive edition, I hope they can really take the story to it's full potential. Apologies for the rambling, great video, you deserve so much more subs.

@@medoagamer9497 Thank you. I appreciate it.

Some of this lore is actually quite compelling and could have been really cool if focused on. Really wish Fates was a one route game from the get go

[@scanchannel3259]

Same and honestly if it was a one route game then the story should be like conquest after chapter 6 then after chapter 13 happens corrin changes their mind after the shit they have seen then goes to hoshido and convinces them to join her then at some point azura is like hey corrin I know a real way to end the war and corrin is like you do? Then azura is like yes but the bottomless canyon is our only way and then corrin and azura gather up all the royals and go to save valla after beating anankos the game ends just like how revelations ends.

[@schwany6703]

agreed, the art direction and setting is incredible. shame what the writing team and level designers did

[@gabrielbitencourt1879]

i disagree. as much of a mess the 3 routes are, i still preffer it. because if there was just one route the game could just made you join Hoshido, and as someone that hates Hoshido this would be a deal breaker for me. At least like this we have a choice

[@thesergalladaf6902]

I say the first two routes are playable at the start, with the last one ACTUALLY LOCKED until you play the other two.

[@mehrazkarim2243]

Awesome vid. always loved the bosses in fates and their character portraits

[@doggodingus3555]

Great video, love all the boss designs in Fates.

[@nobunagaoda9277]

I didn't even knew that you know my thoughts already betwwen Sumeragi and Mikoto, you actually corrected everything, wow! Great work, I am very impressed that you have an such positive knowledge about FE14 lore bosses!

[@IWish2500]

Halvey boss lore video? Oh baby

[@usvidragonslayer3091]

This is really neat!

[@fireembliam9090]

35:27 The Valla castle was built on top of that mountain cave.

[@joshmcgoo]

dope video

[@HeeCawRoo]

clicked on this cause i was curious what kind of "lore" this was referring to but this is essentially just the plot of fates said verbatim. most of this is seen on-screen. idk if id call that 'lore'. good summary though!

[@fireembliam9090]

33:11 We do not see Gunter child and Wife in Fates.

[@cooperross9495]

Good of you to make this, but there's one other boss who I really wish we knew the lore for - that woman from the Museum Melee DLC! She's a kinshi knight with some kind of divine shield, but she's also a lockpicker and has a wolfskin pal! There has GOT to be an interesting story, there!

[@everettwatsonrazorearcwolf6553]

Fun fact, try unscrambling the names of Caeldori, Asugi and Rhajat with Awakening cast in mind

[@S.B._Chalphy]

I'd be more concerned if someone didn't get those references.

[@thesergalladaf6902]

I don’t play Awakening. Fates is my only game. So please share me your answer.

[@Zekken_The_Lodestar]

​@@thesergalladaf6902Cordelia, Gaius, Tharja.

[@fireembliam9090]

You did not talk about the DLC the Heir of Fates one.

[@shadowdragun]

Wasnt it confirmed thst Arete being Mikoto's sister was a mistranslation?

[@fireembliam9090]

30:47 Did you called Arete Aratae.

[@cameronsifferman6484]

I don’t wanna sound dumb but where in game (guessing dlc) do you get all that awakening trio and Lilith stuff cuz I have legit NEVER seen that

[@halvey_]

Yes its from the hidden truths dlc

[@fireembliam9090]
