History of Fire Emblem's INSANELY High Effort Shitposting

What's your favorite April Fools timed post from FE and why?

At the rate the quality keeps going up we're going to get a straight up April Fools game eventually

Fafnir & Reginn is the best one because it’s a shitpost in its purest form. It’s like a Fortnite dance or Specialist meme but actually made by IntSys

That Valbar spin off had me reeling when they first announced it. Another fun little thing worth mentioning is the April Fools Cipher cards they made for the Cipher OCs with fun art and absolutely busted abilities, but with restrictions like "you can only play this card on April 1st of this year" or something

I like how the joke about the whole Edo Period FE thing comes from them "trying to modernize" the games. Its one of those subtle winks that usually April Fools jokes have.

I didn't think Battle of Revolution was THAT detailed. There was so much more to it.

Love the Valbar one so much to this day! Praying they get alts like that in a ninja banner one day But Kiran on the tambourine takes the cake for me. So much personality in him aaa

Honestly all I remember is that somebody’s mutton got poisoned, something about rage fest, and somebody getting smashed and going on a rampage with a fire tome. Fun times, honestly

If this continues, I have the feeling Intelligent Systems could create an entire game as an April fools celebration in the future.

Lonely Puppeteer’s remix lived rent free in my head for weeks after it released. The remix bops, the actual performance was entrancing and they successfully made me like Ash. She has so much personality in the video I had no choice lol. As it is, that is my favourite April Fools joke from IS. Made even better by the fact it was *late*

I like how the videos they made for April fools look better than the cutscenes in three houses

Starting off the journey by fighting some bandit in a village backyard, ended up fighting some demon god or sealed satan from another dimension or outer space. Every Fire Emblem games ever.

My favorite is the dance of because it just has such a specific unhinged energy, the models clearly not made for dances, the choreography clearly being impressive but seemingly just put on the models, the low effort rendering, that is kino. Compared to this year's, which is just a good music video for one of the remixes, is kind of too good for it's own purpose, especially since the characters playing instruments is much less surreal than them doing modern dances (which makes me wonder how surtr would look doing some form of dance)

I always end up constantly rewatching the Lonely Puppeteer Remix, it’s just so memorizing. And I don’t ever play FEH!

There literally 5 characters in the edo period joke, and they’re all existing FE characters and could easily be made as seasonal units in FEH

As fun and cool the recent FEH jokes have been, Feh being a summonable hero is still my fave. She can go up to any gods in Zenith and obliterate them, but Askr has her detained as a mere messenger owl to contain her power.

I'm surprised at how Battle of Revolution and Spring remix were the only one's of these I've heard of, the 8-bit styled Heros game was just super cute!

do the askr

IIRC the Legendary Hero Feh video actually teased the release of a Feh Channel 4 days later because her special cooldown showed 4 at 6:56; in every other battle clip the special cooldown remains at 100

You know, the other thing i love about these april fools jokes is that the are steadily giving the summoner personality.

While not officially made by the devs my favorite fe April fools joke was when someone made a fe heroes fighting game and it was accidentally the most hype thing I've ever wanted to become a reality

The 2017 Aprils fools game could make good rom-hack material

next april fools they´re gonna make a remake of FE3 and say "April fools, you´re actually getting FE3 and FE19!"

I think my favorite surprise with the 8-bit FEH announcement was the fact that they included the TMS lords too

Fire Emblem peaked with Kiran's tambourine solo and will never peak again :P

i have to say my most favorite of these is the feh legendary banner. its just so charming and even though we're not gonna ever get her as a unit, itd be so cool if they released official plushies of her and maybe like one or 2 random accessories to dress her with? like id buy that immiediately! also seeing the last two videos make me wish they continued to use that animation for the main fe games. like i genuinely believe fates and awakenings cutscenes look better than 3houses and these little prank videos just make me believe that more

Nothing warms my heart like a high effort shitpost.

just stumbled upon this vid, ratatoskr bout to go crazy with this year i bet

I wish I was a competent enough percussionist to mimic that Tambourine performance to a T

summoner on dj is so funny to me, so naturally i made mine wear the headphones in game and i laugh whenever i see it

The 2019 Video being delisted might be due to FEH changing the VA? Also personal shout out to the one Fake Promo for a 2D Fighting Game in the FEH style.

Honestly the Fafnir and Reginn one seems like a parody of MMD

FE: BoR is to Gaiden seems like it would've been the same as Pokemon Legends is to gen 4

I have been reccomended recently the lonly puppetier remix but never checked the date, it was fun and well done

"do the asta " "do the asta ""do the asta ""do the asta " 🎯

I think my favourite thing about that first april fools you mention, was that a lot of the character names are a reference to FE Gaiden/Echoes

I saw an April fools video about lost ark VR. I was legit dusting off my old quest 2 until my friend told me it was an April fools joke...

I didn’t even realize Lonely Puppeteer was supposed to be an April Fools joke until this video lol

Love the Lonely Puppeteer video and song! It’s sooooo good!

The lonely puppeteer remix video was so amazing it took me 3 days to realize it was an april fool

Honestly i would like to have Samouraï Valbar for the ninja banner, his design is really cool.

If they keep upping production quality they are gonna eventually just release a gag FE game instead of making a shitpost presentation on one

2025: IntelligentSystem put out free fire emblem game, “fire emblem walkway of ruinance”

My favorite April Fools video is Unshackled Gateways. Till this day I still want a FEH fighting game!

I gotta say, that fan-made FEH fighting game trailer did me in. THAT was easily my favourite April Fool's joke.

The Edo period game sounds like a Idea that i actually want We aleardy had a more Sengoku FE(Birthright) but a full edo period game would be a nice idea

Low-key, I wish we had more FE games that don't take place in medieval Europe settings for once. I am actually mad that Battle of Revolution was an April Fool's joke, cause I would buy an FE game like that in a heartbeat if it was legit. It looked so legit. That Reginn and Fafnir dance off and the Lonely Puppeteer music vid tho....those were actually masterpieces!

All these music and dance videos and they have yet to include… *Those who Rave in the Dark*

Lonely Puppeteer was an April Fools Prank!? I did not know that...though does it count as being fooled if you do not even know its prank?

They need to remake the mutton commercial with fe7 character models and voice acting

That first one reminds me of Ultima: Martian Dreams.

God I really *really* wish that edo period FE game was real. It sounds really cool.

I forgot about the Feh joke, it was a good self parody.

My favorite was feh in game by far, I love when April fool's jokes stretch the game mechanics to their breaking point. I'd love to see that actually in game for April fool's, even if it's limited to training tower or something like that.

Great vid! My favourite April fools joke has to be the fighting game. Shame it never became a thing.

The next step is really to make a April Fool game

April Fools 2023 is just going to be releasing an upscaled, properly localized 2-in-1 of Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn on the Switch for Free for 24 hours until it stops working

I want to play the Valbar game so badly. Please PLEASE someone make a rom hack of it, I NEED THIS

Wait for IS to release a full blown 1h30 movie as a joke.

Wow, they spent more time on these April Foolsday than Nintendo does on an entire Pokemon place.

I can not express just how hyped I would be if IS announced they were releasing an FE game that completely takes place in feudal Japan

IntSys in 2015: lmao let's make an illustration as a joke IntSys in 2022: lmao let's make fully animated high quality music video as a joke IntSys in ????: lmao let's make a GOTY worthy full game as a joke

Imagine tho that sengoku period fe tho

These are the reasons I dolphin this game.

One of the reasons IS is pretty cool

The amount of effort involved in memes from FE (especially FEH) is frustrating because they take time to invest in those things instead of actual payoff for both them and for fans.

Can we have a samurai Valbar in FEH plz?

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, making an April Fools’ joke about something people would unironically want is just not funny

Stop calling it high effort shitposting. If it's high effort it's not shitposting.

The best part about this year's April Fool's was for me that it cemented Ash as the most smashable OC by far. The animation just makes her so 😳🥵

!!!

My favorite FE related April Fool's post was not from IS themselves but I think it was from the Serenes Forest forums. It claimed to be translating a Sakurai Kotaku or whatever magazine interview that claimed he believed that Smash was so lacking in Fire Emblem characters that he was announcing a new Smash game with only Fire Emblem characters, with a roster of around 70 playable characters. I found it to be really funny

As a joke, Legendary Feh takes my favourite. The sheer absurdity of how powerful Feh was, not to mention instantly taking the top spot for alts was goofy. It was far from serious. But it was goofy and great at the same time. Overall though, the Lonely Puppeteer remix takes my favourite. While I love the others, there is no doubt that the production quality has improved a lot over time especially compared to its main comparison with the book 5 dance off. Both the video and music of the Lonely Puppeteer remix is wonderful overall and I'm sure many can agree it is thoroughly enjoyable even disregarding April Fools.

"What's next?" An April Fool's joke that no one takes seriously, but it turns out that IS wasn't just making another shitpost.

Both this year and Valentia's April Fool jokes went way too far even though they didn't really need to, and I'll always appreciate them for that.

The lonely puppeteer definitely caught me off guard with it's quality. I would have likely fallen for the Valbar spinoff too if I had noticed it at the time.

I personally love Lonely Puppeteer, it’s so highly quality and upbeat, an absolutely incredible video 🎻🎸

Man why does Battle of Revolution have to be a joke, it genuinely sounds so sick I would love to play it

I love FE shitposts... You never know what you're gonna get, but it's always gonna be a fun time!

My uncle works at Nintendo, next year they're going to have a special event where your phone sucks you inside upon loading the game and you have to live in the game for the rest of your life as the Summoner.

Moove with Askr was the best, and even though it just came out of nowhere, you got a special map to face for the accessory plus a boatload of stamina potions. Oh my goodness. The king shitpost.

Man, if this video was made today, we would be laughing again at Askr's fitness workout. That one is simply just too good as a joke.

I'm convinced that Legendary Feh was a sort of revenge against all the players sharing sprite art of the fire mages in Feh cooking the owl.

There are these April Fools-pranks that aren't funny but rather ranging from disappointing to actively maddening that they aren't real. Battle of Revolution is very much in the disappointing-camp. Not only because the game sounds sick on its own, but also because we also would have gotten a switchversion if it was real...which the actual game that released(Echoes) did not. Even tho Echoes is my favorite FE to date, I think we probably live in the universe that got the lesser product unironically.(Though tbf, that release might have been botched, one never knows)

My favorite has to be Lonely Puppeteer. In the latest chapter at the time, we had: - Veronica getting executed in ten days - Ash slowly losing feeling in her body - Alfonse telling Letizia that he killed his father (which is technically true, but he's lying about the context), and that he'll kill her too And the followup managed to be _that._ The timing still sends me. lol

I haven't played FE Heroes in years but I'll still watch the youtube videos on it. I watched Lonely Pupeteers and it didn't even register as an April Fool's joke. I just sat there thinking it was a total flex and "Man this app makes money!"

next year they will get the VA's (both english and japanese) of several main characters to recreate famous supports of the series in character and cheap cosplay

Wasn't Mars the poorly dubbed name for Marth as well

Feh's announcement as a playable character in FEH was the only April Fool's video I'd watched from them, and it wasn't believable by any means, but still, it was hilarious to see her just demolishing everything, haha. Battle of Revolution's page was very well done, though, I like how much they fleshed it out.

This year's april fools video showed me how hard someone can go on a tambourine. The other two musicians were amazing as well.

I love the Lonely Puppeteer Spring Remix, it's a banger, i didn't even know it was supposed to be an april fools thing.

Battle of Revolution was awesome. I fell for it too.

2023's AF joke was funny. Not as hype as Lonely Puppeteer was, but funny indeed. And the sad point is that 2024 had nothing at all :(

FAFNIR REGINN DANCE OUTSHINES ALL

The dancing clips played as my sister was watching the baby shark song, it was perfect, I have basically seen Fire Emblem characters dancing to baby shark

I would actually love a Fire Emblem game that plays in the current time. And no I don't mean stuff like FE encore, that had barely any fire emblem in it.

Nothing will ever eclipse the dumb art of Chrom in space.

These are the only April Fool's jokes I look forward to each year

I don't know how, but i missed al of these so thanks for sharing!

So that's why Valbar is on the Gaiden box art
