When the biggest map outside of FE4 is part of an FE4 map

Me: “FE4 Endga-“ (Reads description) “Oh”

Faerghast: "Have you ever wondered what the biggest map in Fire Emblem is?" Me: "No."

The question that keeps me up at night

They always ask what’s the biggest map never how’s the biggest map

Don’t forget Fire Emblem Heroes where the Rival Domain Maps are at a whopping 80 tiles (8 x 10)

Largest FE map that isnt FE4 is actually that snippet of FE4 in FE5 lol

Honestly, the most interesting things about this, to me, are how A.) Radiant Dawn, despite having arguably the strongest sense of scale after FE4 ends up having relatively small maps overall and B.) how the dev team seems to have settled on a map size they are comfortable with in more recent years. From Awakening forward, they have never exceeded a 30x30 map size, sometimes treading the line, but never crossing it. That's gotta be a concious design choice, right?

Bro it's literally the FE3H's Garreg Mach Monastery overworld

It’s funny, FE6’s largest map is probably one of the most constricting and least open map in that entire game (maybe even the series)

What Fire Emblem game has the most dialogue. (Story, paralouge, support convos. Not weapon description, menus, map descriptions, etc.)

i love fe 5 chapter 19 to death. what i loved most about thracia was how unique its map objectives were, and how they narratively fit in, while still maintaining core mechanics of gameplay. chapter 19 stays true to that, splitting the player's army, and having to rescue chain npcs to the top end of the map, all the while saving villages from thieves and running from seemingly endless reinforcements and powerful enemies. the long stretch of road separating the lower squad and the escape tile, serving as a guide amidst the chaos, yet also a reminder that there isn't an easy way out. the road must be traveled, and so too must leif accept the sacrifices of his comrades. honestly ghast, if you're reading this, i'd love if you did a map analysis video, or multiple. not just the gameplay aspect, but also how a map's presentation enhances narrative. i feel like no one talks about how amazing some fe maps are and i think you're definitely the guy to shed light on them. no pressure though! i'm just one fan after all, and i wouldn't want any of your videos to be less passionate than you would

I never realized fe 5 chp 19 map was that big, most units just made a B-line to escape. Shows how well designed its maps are while also fitting the narrative.

My new goal in life is to create an FE with even bigger maps then FE4. Nobody can convince me otherwise.

Excelblem once compared a prologue chapter of new mystery of the emblem to a knife fight in a phone booth with 8 participants so I’m curious about the other way around what is the smallest fire emblem map ever?

Just another video of Ghast flexing/bragging about the Jugdral series.

I was thinking that FE6’s map had a lot of empty space and then when you said it couldn’t even be flown over that’s when I was fully decided that it’s not the largest map

I have a trivia idea that might be impossible: Who is the canonically strongest character in all of Fire Emblem? I was thinking more canonical feats of strength that could be compared like in Death Battle, but I don't know if there are that many, so calculating average strengths throughout the game could work too.

It's interesting that IntSys seem to have decided that 30x30 is their max limit for map size since FE11. They even made a few maps smaller in the remakes to accommodate for it.

As someone who hasn't played FE4: I knew the maps in that game were big, but I had no idea they were THAT big.

Before watching this video I thought to myself "I bet FE5's long boi map is a sleeper contender." Totally nailed it.

TIL: The game I played back in 1999 - 2000 college term on an emulator in Japanese, having no idea what was going on and a notepad with what the various Menu Options and Items were ... was Thracia 776. It had been years since I even thought about it. Lets just say I was in a bad place in school at the time and needed something to keep me occupied. Playing a game in which I barely understood the story or what was happening, but could just use the critical thinking part of my brain to do the fights was a godsend. I just didn't remember what the game was until I saw that HUGE map and it was like, "Wait, I know that map..."

tl;dw : FE4 devs were crazy

One of the first threads I made on Serenes back when I was a noob who'd only played Radiant Dawn was on this exact subject. It pretty much was "Genealogy, case closed". Though some people did note the Thracia and Path of Radiance ones.

This was really interesting to watch. Thinking about it, my instant answer would be something from FE4, but I hadn't ever really thought about the biggest omitting FE4. Very interesting to see!

...How in the world are Radiant Dawn's maps that small? I remember them being sprawling and huge, and it has some of the lowest averages? That's gotta be some kind of mind-trick sorcery.

There's a japanese FE8 hack called Fire Emblem 2 Princesses that has an almost exact replica of FE5 chapter 19 lol, it's pretty crazy.

"I am dying on this hill" yeah I had a hard time outrunning them guys myself.

It would be funny if Nintendo (or specifically IS) released a Fire Emblem Maker game, thus throwing the question of largest map out the window. . .

Here’s an idea for a video: Which map in Fire Emblem has the most water tiles?

I'll die on this hill with you -- FE6 Ch. 24 didn't feel all that large. Also, I'm surprised how wrong my gut was -- I genuinely thought FE10 3-14 was huge

Calling it now it won't be from genealogy because that'll be too obvious.

That chapter is also really cool from a gameplay perspective, the spawns and objective are unique, the houses and recruitment are tricky and you can even get Leif like a dozen levels in the map with a simple trick

I wonder if part of the reason I love FE7 and RD is the small map size.

This is the kind of content I like to see!

Conclusion: Kaga did it first

Idk if this was a dream or not, but I swear I saw a thumbnail saying something like "The Smallest Maps in FE" and I keep looking for it even though it isn't a real video

To me it doesn't matter how big a map is but mainly what is the proportion of space/enemies , because some maps are not the biggest but the ones with the highest enemy army units, which made them overwhelming only by looking at them

Seems like IS has been keeping in mind the map sizes a lot ever since FE RD it seems All of the biggest maps in each of those games after FE PoR have less than 1k tiles it seems

Ghast: Notices how big is FE5 Ch 19 Map Me: -Vietnam flashbacks- The biggest map of FE is one of the most stressful ones in my life, OMG escaping and saving everyone is such a mess!

No one: Ghast: FE5's Ch19 IS THE SECOND BIGGEST FE MAP AND YOU CAN'T TELL ME OTHERWISE

poggers the number of likes is 776

Martholomew’s missing pants

This felt like an interesting shitpost that never got to the shitpost-y part, but i'm here for it

@ Ghast What is the biggest in Conquest and Birthright, since those 2 games weren't included via Reddit post? I've never played revelation so these 2 games are more familiar to me from Fates than the DLC

Ghast, what is your opinion on the injustices Mekkah is laying upon our boy Alm by keeping him in A+ tier and refusing to bump him up into S-tier?

Bringing up PoR's chapter 17 map makes me once again reaaaally want a Tellius remake (I think about it often). Is it too much to ask to skip over some games for now and remake 9 and 10 together next? Remaster? Anything? Please?

One topic I’m gonna suggest is which FE Lord would most likely win in a battle royale between all of the Lord’s of the series. This list would include both or all lords in games where there’s more than one, like Echoes and Sacred Stones. I’d say for the sake of balancing, we can disregard Divine Pulse and Mila’s Turnwheel since Alm, Celica and Byleth would be in a time travel stalemate and it’s just more fun to consider overall power and combat strength. What are your thoughts?

Omg I played this map and that was the best fire emblem moment I enjoyed in my life

What is the music at the start??? I would really like to know 😩

What's the music at 6:23 from? I swear I've heard it before but can't place it, and it doesn't really sound like FE music

Something about this video is myterious. Something of an older time. The atmosphere doesn't suit modern time. Which isn't a bad thing. It feels different... Maybe the combination of more black space as well as the music. It gives me the chills. Or maybe it's because I hate the subject Geography and it's uncanny for me to see it discussed about a thing I love... The conclusion. This video is a piece of art.

Your hill to die on, huh? 😄 For topic ideas, I'd love world building stuff. Like what kinds of food do they eat, what festivals do they celebrate, or how do their cultures sit on Hofstede's dimensions? Also I would love an analysis on which Fire Emblem king or queen would end up ruling the world if they were all alive on the same planet at the same time. My money's on Innes, personally. :-P

Oh boy gimme.more vids with Ghast's talking in my ear like this ;)

imo PoR chapter 17 should still count since the entire map is loaded in at all times, regardless of which part of the chapter you're on

This might be the biggest FE map but it's also the smallest FE soapbox

I have never asked this question And I’m honestly not too curious, but imma watch anyway

i always ask whats the biggest

Now do the biggest Fire Emblem Rubix Cube minigame

Silesia castle town theme is best song in fire emblem series

Interesting to say the least

“Where’s FE4?” Or “FE4” Someone who commented and either didn’t watch the video or read the description

Okay but that path of radiance map makes me want to die tbh, I dread it on every playthrough, not bc it's hard but bc I want to do it all in one sitting but I never can bc I get so bored

The largest map in the Fire Emblem series. (everyone turns to look at GotHW)

Fuck whats the song in the beginning, i don't remember and its bugging me

What Fire Emblem map has the most enemies at once?

I know it's a technicality, but aren't the empty tiles traversible by fliers?

I wonder which game has the smallest maps

Okay but. Wich map is the smalest?🤔

My guess would be all of Serenes Forest technically?

"Omit FE4" BOY BYE

Russia side map chapter for next Fire emblem

2:41 You're telling me that the inside of a castle is bigger than an entire fucking island (2:33)?

Bigger isn't always better some of the larger fire emblem maps i played are actually some if the worst it just gets so boring having to slog your units across a map for like 20 turns

topical

Fe5 Chapter 19 is the greatest fire emblem map of all time, change my mind.

Can't believe you didn't mention FEH smdh

FE4 is ONLY 64x64? Honestly, I thought it was more.

Without watching the video, i say its from Genalogy of the holy war EDIT: Easiest guess ever EDIT2: Hold up, FE4's maps are near to the same scale as the world map o_O

Ghast: The BIGGEST map in Fire Emblem Me: It's gotta be that piece of shit snow map in RD Part 4 Ghast: *Doesn't even mention it* ME: Well shit, guess I gotta play FE 5.

Ok, but is it worse than phantom ship.

Based

封印のマップって24章が一番デカいのか。足場少ないから大きい印象無かったなぁ。

Topical content? Or... topographical content?

This map size should be cut by three

It seems the overall approach to answer this questions, while valid, took the less interesting approach of merely considering the dimensions to the 'bounding box' of maps to determine their size. You almost got to what I would argue is the more interesting approach with the FE6 map by omitting tiles without terrain data, but stopped short by using that as a small fudge factor for that map's bounding box. I would be interested to see how the answer to this questions might change if only playable area were considered and how that might change based on the movement type considered. For example, having access to fliers would grant you access to most of the bounding box in most case, or at least nearly all titles with terrain data (with the occasional exception here or there like some of the hedges in the pre-endgame of FE8), but if you switch the consideration to mounted or armored units, then mountainous maps, for instance, become small even if they have large overall footprints in the game data. Obviously that would be a much harder thing to research/compile, so I'm not holding my breath to see such a video 🙃

commenting for the algorithm

You sound so tired. Get some rest!

@2:17 FE6 chapter 24 is not really 1536 tiles though. It's more like 250. 8 5x5 rooms with some walkways connecting them. Walkable/flyable tiles is what matters. Though that would have to be manually calculated and understandably much more effort. [Edit] You pointed it out at the end, but I still find it misleading to not say such things up front. Oh well, good work to everyone that calculated all of this and thanks for the cool video topic.

I would pose the counterpoint that with the FE6 map, it forces you to weave through the map, artificially making it seem bigger whereas the FE5 one is just a straight path. There’s also the matter of “likely to never traverse” tiles. FE6 has a lot of non-traversable tiles, but how different is that from tiles that’ll never be traversed and are just their for scenery like a set of mounts in the corner with nothing. HA! I’ve now set up an equally small hill for me to die on.

How ironic is this video's script?

성전의 계보네 ㅎㅎ

The FE5 map can have the win, the FE6 map doesn't even use all of its tiles (fliers can't even fly over what looks like empty space).

"that is cheating". Nah man, semantics are important. You asked for map, not chapter.

The FE 5 map is a straight line to the boss while the FE6 map has you zig-zag across the entire thing, so that way you could argue that the FE6 map is bigger.
