5:36 She's actually wearing the generic female great knight design from Awakening. People looked through the Awakening art book and found it among the concept art. We never noticed it in game because we rarely see a female great knight off her horse.
So glad someone else brought up the Patrick Seitz as young hector thing. He is SUCH an incredible VA. Kinda underrated if you ask me, cause while I enjoy VAS who can convey emotion well, no one takes the time to aknowledge the VAS with so much range. I had to do a double take too when I first heard it because I was so use to EVERY younger version (male and female) just having their VA do the same voice slightly higher pitched for these alts, but Patrick Seitz DELIVERED. I’m so use to his deep voice, especially in roles like dark cacao cookie in cookie run kingdom where he gets really deep, it was such a pleasant surprise, truly a man who knows his craft.
And it's funny cause, Patrick Seitz is so easy to recognize outside of Hector, you would think man has no range at all but nah, he just proved otherwise and that is worth of respect
I honestly love videos like this; opinions almost completely different from mine but presented in way that it isn't obnoxious, but endearing even. Your love and passion for these artworks is so apparent.
One that I was really excited to see was Rearmed/Fallen Chrom, because not only is it a reference to his Risen King Cipher art, but just about everything else: the mark of Grima on his right hand mirroring Robin's, his sword the Arcane Devourer, the Brand of the Exalt on his shoulder that's partially concealed but becomes fully exposed in his damaged portrait, and the mixes of dark purple and red.
I decided to build up DoD Effie purely because of how pretty her outfit and artworks were! Even though she wasn't a character I was particularly interested in, I just had to build her!
By far my favourite this year is a very recent one: New Years Nerthuz. She's a bit of a hot topic much like all the other Book 7 characters, but I always found her design beautiful and unique, exactly what a Goddess should look like imo. I'm not even kidding when I say her New Years art made my jaw drop, she looks so amazing. I even saw some people that hated her original design say that her NY version looks amazing, the artist did such a fantastic job.
I'm one of them I didn't like her original design at all but new year nerthuz is so pretty and so nice looking and her voiclines are so funny! Sad we can't get her yet until banner releases next year next month at first lol
I think like all of the other Book 7 cast, Nerthuz' design itself is stunning. It's just held back by Yoshiku's bad habit of giving most of the female characters an identical big boobs/thick thigh/long legs physique.
Resplendant tiki was amazing I agree on everything you mentioned and also wity time I liked the subversion they did making her a nightmare dragon. I liked bridal too but like in singular that young tiki's face still can't be forgotten. I also like L!Robin's art a ton so it surprised me you disliked it but art is almost the most subjective thing ever so makes sense.
Palla’s resplendent was so good it made me +10 and max dragon flower her immediately I’m not even kidding xD But some others I really enjoyed were Legendary and Ascended Elincia, Veyle, and Arion. Arion was probably my favorite bc I’ve been waiting for him since launch and to finally get him and he looks great AND is a great unit? Just amazing.
Really cool video and I agree with most of them. I am also glad, that you put Spring Triandra and Rearmed Lucina into the "worst" category. Just out of my head those two are probably the two worst art pieces we got 2023 in FEH. BUT usually we got WAY more amazing/great art in FEH and we definitely had many of them in 2023 too. One of my absolute Favourite Artworks in FEH this year are probably Bridal Flavia (I was so stunned), Rearmed Sonya and Resplendent Surtr. But overall I think there were many, many great ones actually haha. :D
I find both Claudes we got this year to look absolutely immaculate. It's rare that I have not even a single nitpick with FEH artwork, and it's particulary special because he's like my second favourite FE character and one of my favourite fictional characters in general.
I have the Marth figure based off of Daisuke Izuka's art, and I still stare at it in awe despite seeing it every day. My favorite pieces this year are: 1. Teatime Sigurd: I love Sigurd, but for the artist to make him look super cute in a mullet is talent. His smile is everything, his subtle lean in his attack and special art is amazing, the tea pouring around him is unique, by far my favorite of this year. 2. Ascended Ced: An admittedly odd pick, but this art made me fall in love with the character. He's in basic poses, but he commands so much power that it's awe-inspiring. The magic at his fingertips in his damaged art is my favorite part, and his voice acting goes super hard for his crits if you take off Blazing Wind. 3. And finally, Fallen Chrom. A unit that I have been waiting for, I spent two hours after the trailer dropped trying to explain the splendor of his undead majesty to my best friends. The detail of the stab wound, the nod to his official art's pose, the pure aggression in his attack art, the cold stare in his crit, his voice acting--it's perfect. Tl;dr: Teatime Sigurd is cute, A!Ced is cool, and Fallen Chrom goes hard as heck
El arte que no se me olvida es precisamente el brave soren pero por que me dejo un sentimiento extraño xd por un lado, es kita senri dibujando a su personaje, asi que se ve muy bien, pero tambien se sintio horrible porque despues de luchar tanto por que consiguiera buen lugar en el cyl, nos dan un outfit que no es original ni representa nada especial para el personaje :c senti lo que sintieron los fans de tiki la verdad pero tambien llego elincia legendaria con un arte muy bonito asi que ya se redimieron xd
the lucina shield is so funny, man really phoned in the drawing on the face and shield. he said nah im cashing that christmas check yall gonna forget this banner anyway after the christmas one so may as well make that easy money.
Really great video btw I really like this series so fun and really overall cool! :)❤ But how is Patty bad art like the art is really good and pretty cute too it fits Patty and her age tbh! :') I know it's generic but patty design is simple not detailed but I can understand why u don't like it! And yeah I agree kippu Triandra is not it tbh like it's so so bad idk why they did that to her especially since she's a timid and not that kinda of girl tbh especially since she's not a fairy like Plumeria she's the the nightmare fairy so like?😭💀 But then attuned Triandra happened by Ichikawa halu too and I'm so glad attuned Triandra happened her art is so so good one of my favorites from this year!🥰💖 And tbh Kippu is really good and nice artist their art is so soft and cute like look at Marcia Eitr so pretty and cute but idk what happened to spring ....triandra. Also I agree Ichikawa halu art is so good definitely one of my favorite artists so pretty duo Ymir is so adorable!! Let's goo Kita senri apprection my favourite artist like c'mon look at Ninja Sanaki and Micaiach they're so creative and so cool like the ponytail hairstyle is so nice and really cool and both of their outfit suits each so so well like they really did such an amazing job she really gave it her all with them! :) and so cute they finally made them a duo they deserve it since they barely talked at the ending of radiant dawn and this duo is so precious and cute!ಡ ͜ ಡ
I was with you until the Ninian hate 😭 she was one of my highlights lol. And i don't mind a resplendent theme feeling familiar on a character or different - as long as it's an art improvement. (Ayra when) Big agree on Kita Senri, Wada Sachiko, Daisuke Izuka, and most of all Suzuki Rika‼️ Was gonna come to the comments specifically to mention Rearmed Sonya lol Love the voice/accent too - you sound like you'd make a good va 😅
IN MY DEFENSE, I still praised Ninian a lot, it's just me being petty asf that made me put her in the "Bad" arts, but nah overall it's a great art, that artist in general is very pleasant for the most part Also thank you! That's very kind of you to say, I'm very self-conscious about my accent so it makes me happy to hear that
Honestly, i feel like Khadein Byleth's art is reaply overhated, id Honestly call it my 2nd favourite of all of the Byleth arts, Behind Legendary (and maybe Fallen)
I've always wanted you to do more of these cuz your takes be having me like... like omg Felix looks so handsome. huh? It's his boring ass kit I don't like. Mid in the middle of god tier omnitanks
I typically don’t like getting pity broken when two units of the same color share a banner but I wouldn’t have minded if rearmed Sonya appeared in my barracks one day and my reason ain’t cause she has a good weapon.
I was so happy when Diamant was added to the game but...yeah, i imagined his art a little different, i don't dislike it tho, it's just that it could've been better? Other style would've suit him better? Same for Geoffrey, he deserved and art by Senri Kita😭 As for the christmas banner this year is one of the most beautiful banners ever, i love it sooooo much, Edelgard looks so pretty and happy🥺💖and it's nice to get a good art for male byleth
Coincido contigo en pensar que en un arte es malo basándome en las caras, sentí exactamente lo mismo que tú con Diamant y K!Byleth. Con R!Lucina por dios es justo lo que pensé 😂 no entendí el arte jajaja Excelente video como siempre, me encanta cuando hablas de FE se nota el cariño que le tienes a la franquicia 🫰🏽
This was a pretty decent year for Heroes art. Of the entire year, I’d say V!Effie and N!Reina were my personal favorites 😁. I’mma have to check out your ratings of previous years as well, it seems.
Harken, Isadora, attuned Nino, rearmed Tana and summer L'arachel were my favorites. The negatives were anything involving the terrible OCs of the last book and Cuboon ruining good characters. I really wish anyone else would've drawn the Karla duo.
This Lucina's art is propably first bad one (besides the resplendant), which is impressive for a character with so many alts. I don't know why they would want to reference female Great Knights (and cavs and armors) from Fates, they look as if some dog torn off their pants right before the battle. It looks silly and this Lucina's art is no different. One thing that bothers me about Kagero/Orochi art is that Kagero is VERY well endowed, while Orochi looks pretty much spot on. It just feels like this it's on this weird middle ground between fan service and lore accurate without committing to either. And maybe it's just me constantly having to look at Anna's picture while slowly translating Nohrian Festival of Bonds in Fates, but i really like harmonized double Anna.
A few art and non-art related things: - Rika Suzuki continues to prove that being overstimulated with glittery, goddess-level beauty is indeed a thing and it's lowkey scary. If she were to draw one of my huge favorites in FEH, I would probably disintegrate (Though she has drawn Brave Robin in some celebratory art so... That's the next best thing I suppose ^^;). - I agree on the Triandra art due to how it feels like art direction is trying too hard to be fanservicey... But I kinda disagree on Duo Kagero's art for the same reason. On that note I would also add Spring Karla, because imo it barely looks like Karla at all. - I'm conflicted by Rearmed Lucina not just due to the design, but also because I wanted to see her in her Exalted Queen attire from Cipher and now we probably never will ;v;... - MY BOI ROBIN HAS BEEN DONE JUSTICE INDEED! Now they just have to keep it up ;v; (Never give Grima a prf skill again unless it's somehow, beyond all scraps of logic, them, by themself, as a Mythic. That turned out JUST GREAT for FRobin as we can see ;m;...).
I love most Heroes art, even the "bad" ones it is just an thing i love about Heroes However i do not like the heroes that look like little children or have baby faces (12:14 for example). I do like the baby banner units art tho, and i do think young Hector is really good even. But i am not really into the theme of those kind of banners
About Triandra: if Yoshiku designs a character, almost no other artist can nail those characters as well as Yoshiku. Asatani Tomoyo: not JUST Eirika, but also vanilla Ayra and Larcei. The faces are the same... Summer Fjorm: not just great art, she is a FORCE. There must be a reason why IntSys chose Wada Sachiko-sensei to draw in ALL 7 CYLs so far. Even the great Kita Senri missed one.
I hate Rinkah's base art the bust size is so unnecessary, she's my favorite female character in the whole series and thankfully she got her alt but her old art needs a resplendent desperately
I actually like that art for the most part but year I know what you mean, that artist in particular can do some good stuff but sometimes they get overly-horny
@@eleonorepb4565 funnily enough. Roy wearing Nifl can be seen as a reference to his potential moms. Ninian: ice dragon Fiora: From Ilia (snowy country) Lyn: ... Also wears Nifl!
@@samuelflores2219in one comic we can see Roy admiring Lyn Resplendent Clothes so I guess that this is the explaination, he flashed on the outfit and finally got his own
I know sex sells well, but I’m getting so tired with all this “sexy” art in FEH, especially when it’s mostly only for the female characters. But somehow this year it felt better? Like most of the “sexy” female characters that got added or had an alt made got done so nicely and ACTUALLY looked attractive for once in not an oversexualized way? I’m glad tbh, like Effie’s alt alone got my little gay heart falling for her on SIGHT. (We will NOT talk about the OCs, I love Gullveig myself, but dear god was this OC lineup oversexualized to ridiculous extremes even for my taste)
I’m surprised Nerthuz wasn’t in worst, because tbh her design is absolutely offensive to the eyes. She has way too much going on with the colors, the weird floaty shit and the twin moons plastered on her chest. Might be a contender for worst design in all of FE imo.
Agreed tbh I blame the artist mostly I mean look at Gullveig too much over s**ulazation although her goat form is really cool! But new year nerthuz looks so much better tbh!
I heavily disagree, her design is one of my favourites. I love the colours that were used on her: purple, pink and black. This is besides topic but her transformed design is fantastic, never knew a dark goat could look so cool. Her design is cool and unique, fitting for a goddess in my opinion. Then again, I'm ultra biased for pink haired girls.
As for art, Hiadri delivered as always with that fallen byleth. Bringing them for brave Alm and celica was cool but the potential for them to come and draw some favs from other FE games would be so cool! I love bride tikis art she looks beautiful , mostly because you can tell even the artist did not wanna draw young tiki with how bad her face looks lol I would too. Outside of rearmed Lucina the only bad art was really any alt that felt too bland or unoriginal, which isn’t the the artist fault, some artists can make even bland designs look good but doesn’t make them any less bland to look at. The overly sexy designs to me not my fav either. I’m all in favor in having sexy male designs to balance out the women but IS could never but that doesn’t stop me from complaining that Lucina should have pants.
