[Wii] Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn ♦ Opening

[@Heart_970]

Man, I'm getting all nostalgic. I remember never skipping this opening- it's so great.

[@moonwatcher99]

I remember the first time we booted up the game and watched the intro. Seeing the armies charging under Skrimir and Zelgius literally stopped me dead. No joke, my heart dropped, I was all like 'What happened? They were allies!!!"

[@Irongrim]

Same, my friend. Same.

[@jwil4286]

as soon as the ticking and the drums kick in, I can feel the tension.

[@bensee2]

1:57 Gets me every time, what a chills

[@dylzaster1374]

Dude, SSSAAAMMMMEEE!

[@jordanrogers9296]

Still the best opening of any Fire Emblem game to date. Those war drums and trumpets go hard.

[@thenerdasaurus3717]

Doctor: you have three minutes and forty seconds to live me: *watches this video*

[@KamiDesu7]

wow. the way the music syncs with the visuals from 1:00 - 1:35 is godlike

[@kareemhazou]

KamiDesu7 literally the part that gives me the chills

[@KratosAurionPlays]

Man I used to watch this opening a lot XD

[@reviandelumiel2833]

I used to think it was so cool 😭

[@KratosAurionPlays]

@@reviandelumiel2833 i need to watch it again it's been 9 years lol

[@octogamergirl7068]

Me and my brother got this game for our dad 2 months ago and have no regrets paying 80 dollars for it! It somehow rings nostalgic for my childhood and I love it! When it’s night and we want to play it me and my brother turn off all the light so all you see is the blue flames and cutscenes! Btw fav character is kurthnaga :) he is so pure and I’m hoping he will be in heroes soon!

[@Chook181]

Despite the awesome CG movie assets, it's the part from 2:40 onwards that always had me back at the title screen as a kid!

[@ThiefSakon]

100%

[@jg7813]

So much nostalgia... got the chills.

[@hikari.yaehime]

I'm in love with the Tellius saga, the story, the characters... Everything is so epic for me

[@tarnishedStruggler]

damn bruh, Ike looks even more like Guts now.

[@mohamedal-hammadi5243]

The rematch battle against Black Armour was so epic

[@ikemarthlinkrich]

Voice acting isnt the best of this game But I gotta admit, the cutscenes and in game animations are incredible

[@blacksheepsoftball]

Ahead of its time for sure

[@NadiaRayne]

FE10: Best videogame / 10 Haven spent about 2500 hours on this game yet and haven't regretted one single minute. -Can't get enough of this game.-

[@Dengres]

+Mister IceTeaPeach The Supports could be better though^^

[@NadiaRayne]

+DengresDan Umm yeah that's true... but on the other hand: How shall IS each support system make unique of the tens of thousands support possibilities? Gameplaywise it was a good system (prefer it over GBA and 9). It was the first support system at the time you could cancel it at any time without sacrificing an unit. Though it's better in 13 so much I hate it to say.

[@Dengres]

Ich antworte dir jetzt einfach normal :P Du hast natürlich bei allem recht. Gameplaywise ist es echt gut, nur supporte ich lieber für Charakterisierung und Character-Endings und die fehlen da einfach komplett (zumindest die große Auswahl an Character Endings^^) (._. )

[@Dengres]

Prince of Fate I would be ok with that, if there weren't be a bunch of new characters who need characterization. Base Convos did fill that a bit, but it's not enough honsetly

[@MapleHero120]

+Ayama Weirdo I should consider selling a kidney to get the game...

[@picklejuice7041]

The part where Ike faces the BK, with Eternal Bond playing in the background, always givea me goosebumps

[@Yokai_Yuri]

It's because of the significance of the fight This was tecnically the last huge personal challenge Ike had to overcome. His dad's murderer, his rival. Both men trained under one of the most powerful human in all Tellius.

[@KILLERMINELAYERS]

This intro is one of my favorite gaming moments. I had just finished a chapter and decided to take a break and backed out to the main menu. Instead of shutting the game off like normal, I just let the intro play while I sort of decompressed. Suddenly I realized that something new was happening and I look up and there is Ike! I was such a fan of Path of Radiance that having those three added sections to this intro to feature those characters just made me infinitely more excited and after watching it a couple times I just had to keep going!

[@BeamishGull191]

My first fe holy shit it's been so long since I've played this

[@jwil4286]

with all due respect, why didn't you play Path of Radiance first?

[@BeamishGull191]

@@jwil4286 too young to buy the game without a job and not knowing of it's existence. It wasn't until smash bros brawl was out that I took an interest into the series which was about the time Radiant Dawn was out

[@AkiyzaRose]

I get shivers every time I watch this.

[@pkmntrainertao9544]

The writing, the music, the scale... man I love RD. I wish later entries would've lived up to it.

[@tri1937]

the writing? i think that’s one of the worst parts of radiant dawn. The butchering of the Black Knights character, the existence of Blood Contracts, and more.

[@aceclover758]

How? Tellius series has good writing and story

[@theleftfootedsultan]

Butchering the BK’s character? That’s... actually a take I’ve never heard before. Now I’m actually curious what you’re perceiving as damaging to him.

[@IschmarVI]

@@tri1937 the writing IS good overall. It does have some questionable elements though, that is true (coughbloodpactcough)

[@Jaekization]

@@IschmarVII don’t think blood pact is bad. The only part in this whole game that’s bad writing wise other than stupid filler is Ranulf just like “oh I know who black knight is” when it should’ve been a helmet off moment

[@Mamodxx]

YOU ARE A GOD FOR UPLOADING THIS

[@yunseaweed]

*thinks about all of the Faia Emburem the Musicals and tries to decide whether or not to remind you of them but decides against it* but yes Enex is amazing for uploading this

[@reviandelumiel2833]

[@mattpodjeski4194]

Best part is 2:39 and on for me. My favorite game ever. Love the music and character artwork. Played it over ten years ago and still revisit it from time to time

[@tenzokenma5289]

Still enjoying this masterpiece in 2022 :)

[@Ragnell91]

2024 🎉

[@chrussublah4264]

THIS game. I love their take on gods, because before DnD became mainstream, most games and fantasy shows always equated lawful with good and chaotic with evil. To young me it was totally mind-blowing that the goddess of order, that all the humans on the continent pray to, almost became their demise and the goddess of chaos that all the humans hated became their ally. Choas isn't inherently bad and law is not inherently good. In many fantasy stories it's often very black and white. Being able to play on pretty much all fronts and seeing that the consequences of Path of Radiance weren't great for everyone, was really refreshing to see. Usually it's "the mad king is dead, everyone is happy" but seeing that the people of Daein were suffering under being pretty much conquered by Begnion, made it feel pretty realistic. I hope the Tellius Saga will get a remake, I would LOVE that. I was so sad that the laguz were pretty much Tellius specific and not a thing anymore in the newer games. Awakening had 1 laguz-like race (taguel?) that was literally completely wiped out (safe for one) and not even relevant for the story. Fates had the Kitsune and the Wolf people but... well fit was fates aka the worst fire emblem

[@kareemhazou]

Chrussu Blah totally agree! And yes Fates was the worst Fire Emblem

[@Mizunokage1]

I need to go back and replay this game. My first Fire Emblem game will always be the best imo.

[@crowsorel]

I want a remaster of this masterpiece :( The most epic Fire Emblem, especially the second half (Parts 3 and 4)

[@michaelschrieber6461]

3:27 badass Ike

[@Irongrim]

Only ever played FE9 and 10. Absolutely fell in love with the story and fighting style of the game. And I'm oddly not that much into anime. But this intro gives chills to this very day. So beautiful.

[@jwil4286]

fun fact: the scenes with Ike only show up after you complete Act 2.

[@Jaekization]

Peak Fire Emblem lets be real

[@elfsongtavern]

I use to dance to this and yell at my dad for watching.

[@MrSentinel07]

Best opening in the series.

[@drewhellriegel1336]

Compared this to three houses LMAOOOO. This was made in 2007 and is perfect.

[@JlBUNROCK]

​@@peterhanson3472what are you looking for? If you want story then three houses and echoes are the picks! If gameplay is what you're focused on then fates (conquest) and engage should the choices! Awakening a solid middle ground with a decent story and alright gameplay.

[@ValkeSaveUs]

Ohh the goosebumps @ 1:55 - 2:13

[@murarmight]

Tears come to my eyes at 1:57 . I don’t know what it is, but it’s so beautiful, the theme, and Ike vs BK again… so good

[@Mazzurka]

The goosebumps are real...

[@adventuresteamstudios242]

2:31-3:10 Me sing cause this theme really does slap: We ride together Fight together Bond together Survive together Together we ride The Awakening of a new adventure, with all my friends, by our sides (Together we ride) A new dawn, to the Path of Radiance The memories, we all share The bonds, we all share!!!

[@karmabrickcreations]

Bruh this opening is epic

[@2WarriorJay8]

This game's a masterpiece

[@whereaboutsunknown3822]

Here because I miss how Fire Emblem games used to be.

[@kareemhazou]

After watching this after all these years reminds me why the Tellius games will always be the best Fire Emblem games. Legit wish they would go back to making games of this caliber. Story line, music, art style. Three Houses can never compare. Let’s see FE4 through FE8 get remakes like this please IS

[@jwil4286]

what did you think of Echoes Shadows of Valentia?

[@kareemhazou]

@@jwil4286 it had potential to be as good but felt there were many key elements missing.

[@AmahiMio]

Best.Game.Ever! 200 hours put into this game alone as a kid xD

[@Rawr1752]

Ah this opening. If you pay attention to this movie, you learn things about the game that you shouldn't know until you play it. Like the identity of the Black Knight. I'm not going to tell you how that works, but if you pay really close attention, you'll figure it out. (Those who do find out or already know, try not to spoil anything for those who haven't played).

[@BeamishGull191]

Isn't it easy to tell after clearing the game once because extended opening (which this is?)

[@Rawr1752]

Is there an extended opening? I remember seeing this one when I opened the game right out the of the box. I could be wrong though, but that's what I remember.

[@BeamishGull191]

This one is the extended version the bk and ike and ile solo scenes weren't there until multiple play throughs

[@BeamishGull191]

*ike

[@Rawr1752]

Ah. (That would make sense because nobody knows that the Black Knight lives until the end of Micky's story) Then in that case, it's only possible to tell if you're up to chapter 1-9 and paid really, really, REALLY close attention to a certain scene in the movie.

[@TheZedFactory]

The best Fire Emblem. The only problem is support which is the worst of the serie. I love most of the character and especially Nephenie ( she is op !! )

[@Yokokazuo]

I wish I had gotten this game since it is one of my favourites. I eventually borrowed it from my cousin and beat it though. And I am now playing through Path of Radiance which I am also borrowing since I never got a GameCube (only recently got a memory card).

[@Yokokazuo]

Came back to watch this video again. I eventually did pick this game up for a fairly cheap price from Japan and a decent price in English too. PoR is of course expensive in English too, but I got a Japanese Wii and PoR for less than $90 CAD a few years back. I would love to see the Radiant games re-released sometime or remade too, would certainly be a great addition to the Switch library.

[@moonwatcher99]

@@Yokokazuo Seeing this on Switch would be epic. They should do a re-release like the Tales of Symphonia Chronicles. Seeing the price of some of the best GC and Wii titles now makes me really glad I invested in backing up most of my collection, Dolphin is a lifesaver lol.

[@superskyshaymin]

Please Nintendo remake the radiance games for the NX

[@superskyshaymin]

and traditional support conversations for radiant dawn... not that this will ever happen

[@xDeasyman]

Jack Taylor And a little sidestory about Tormods group in chapter 2. It would give them more screentime and it would strech ch.2 a litle. Maybe they encounter a bunch of Slavetraders who sells of Laguz.

[@goldenlotus3598]

And actual voices. I can understand PoR but I was disappointed RD didn't have voices for their fights
