What I Want from a Binding Blade Remake 

Here we go again! Should Lyn be playable?

If they want to make Roy more interesting, then they should simply make Lilina a mage-lord (meaning a main character) so she can interact with Roy more.

Personally I think they should expand Eliwood's relationship with Roy in an FE6 remake. I'm not asking for playable Eliwood really, but something like Roy and his father penning letters to one another and Eliwood showing up to congratulate Roy after the events of Chapter 8 and having a moment with his son. FE kills off fathers so often it never really takes much time to develop this sort of dynamic within a main protagonist and I think it would be a great opportunity!

I think Lilina would be the most deserving of a bigger spotlight in the story. You could treat her like Seth where if she "dies", she pulls back but can still contribute to the story. I'd love to see a video about a Sacred Stones remake (that we'll probably never get)

How to handle Hector’s role in a FE6 remake: give him a geiden chapter of him fighting the rebellion single handedly, getting mortally wounded, and dying as he’s supposed to.

All I want is the binding blade to be unbreakable, so then the Idunn with 50 def can be the true final boss and killable

I don't even think Lyn needs to show up in an FE6 remake, but simply adding reference to her existence would be nice.

90% of this is "Don't change it, but update it to be better, but make sure you don't change anything about it, the game is already good but make sure you change it to be a better game"

"what I want from a shadows of valentia remake" is inevitably approaching us

C'mon! You know this is going to have a turnwheel mechanic... It'll be most likely called the "Cog of Destiny."

On the topic of eliwood and hectors role in the story, I think at the time binding blade was made they weren't really intended to be super important characters, but at this point they are just way to popular to leave as is. I don't want anything to change storywise but they need more screen time, first of all, maybe like a scene of hector battling all the Bern generals to show how much of a badass he is an then actually give him an emotional death instead of a whelp he's dead now. As for Eliwood once again, he just needs to show up more, idrc if he's playable or not

"What's stopping Guinivere from killing her way through the soldiers" Probably the fact that she never wanted to see her country's soldiers or Zephiel die for this conflict, and she doesn't participate in the game's combat because of it.

Oh boy, I cant wait for the “What I want in a Three Houses remake” video!!!

It would be cool if there were a bonus chapter where you played Hector defending the throne with regular soldiers and actual units for x amount of turns before he dies and the castle gets taken over. It could be dlc or something but it probably won't happen. I just think that it would be very cool.

> Roy's promotion. Either have it done manually with an item OR move it back to before the route split, right after Roy defeats Narcian and retrieves Aureola. > Make Lilina a Lord unit, mostly due to Hector's importance in FE7 > Make Thieves promote to Rogues or Assassins so they aren't trapped under a glass ceiling like Roy is.

Wasn't expecting this to appear out of nowhere, still glad it did Edit: Hell yeah, MangsExamples "Karla as a cameo-- wait, she's dead, that was a bad example"

"She could be like mama lyn" *NEURON ACTIVATION*

I just want Roy's promotion to be earlier. Ch16 or Ch16x.

I think one of the big things the Remake of FE7 can do is on the "route split" - For example , instead of having 24 Chapters , we would have 27 Chapters and 8 gaidens instead of 7 , making a total of 35 total chapters. You would go to Illia first , and then to Sacae , and then to invade Bern - Another thing they could do with the route split is to divide your army in two , one army with Roy , and the other army with ELIGOOD - Lastly , it could also be done like "which one you wanna do first" , and whoever you do second , would be harder. For example , you go to Sacae first , and due to that Illia would be harder.

What i wouldn't mind about Fe7 characters showing up is the fe7 Eliwood squad. Like I love how Project Embet added Lowen. It makes sense later on that he'd join in and help. Fe7 should be more danserive in a sense. Make the stories feel just slightly connected. Like let Marcus tell Roy of the tales of Eliwood. Maybe he's seen him as grown strong enough to know about what his father went through. Not make it a big connection to fe6 but a nice little reference to further Roy's resolve

Honestly, just improving the hit rate, make the support convos better, and make Roy a better unit, and that’s all you really need to make Binding Blade better.

About Hector and Eliwood, Eliwood doesn't need to be playable, he is like Roy but older so nah but they can do a Gaiden chapter for Hector (right before he dies, kinda like how FE08 5x featuring Ephraim) where you actually play the chapter he dies as him as your lord and expand a bit about his dialogue with Zephiel or Narcian

11:00 Would be cool to have a playable chapter where you command Hector in his last battle, and you get to see him going out like a Bad-Ass, mowing down dozens of enemies before finally succumbing to the hordes.

"They dont really talk about Roy's feelings" I OFTEN GET DEPRESSED

I mean it also hurts Roy in that he won't be in charge of what's left of the leagues forces if Hector is still alive. Even if you make him too injured to be on the battlefield just his presence would eclipse Roy's as you have to remember that Roy it's still kind of considered a minor Lord. I mean Liliana isn't even too much of a presence even though she's Hector's daughter. Her presence does give him the legitimacy to lead. But even if she was killed off Roy is the only Noble with any forces left within the league that hasn't turncoat by the time you deal with all the traitors! Hector's death is exactly where it is and should be. The entire point of his mode in Blazing Sword that wasn't in binding blade was to give him the charactization beyond "The Big Good and your Childhood friend's father and your Godfather is dead, everything about him will be told from other people's accounts but that's that" even establish that he was LITERALLY doomed by canon when he used Armads (Hopefully unlike the Hero who wield it, he isn't stuck as a Spirit who starts CALLING HIMSELF THE SAME NAME AS HIS WEAPON)

What if there’s a special extra gaiden chapter where hector and a bunch of green units fight an impossible battle before Roy arrives, he manages to kill one, but he gets cecelia’d in a cutscene by zephiel

I think it's necessary include some Fire Emblem 7 improved mechanics in a FE7 remake. Things like Merlinus leveling up if he doesn't lose, enemy units being able to drop weapons or items, removing the limit in support points per map and you being able to know who has a support with who...

Project Ember: When everyone’s special Hahahaha… No one will be Syndrome:

imagine Guinivere going into battle Wielding Oreola the oreo tome and Zephiel is just getting pelted constantly by oreos that would be funny

Man, I want Wolt and Lilina to have bigger roles so that we sorta get a Mae/Boey like convos between them, and just have Roy to interact with his friends.

I recently started replaying FE6, and if there's one thing I really want from a remake it's smarter placement of promotion items. I think part of the reason why so many units in FE6 feel so mediocre is because not only are they inferior to certain others, but also because even if you wanted to use, for example, Lott or Ward, you'd effectively have to give up using Rutger or Dieck or Fir or Gonzales because you aren't going to get enough Hero's Crests in time to promote them all before the very end of the game. Knight's Crests in particular feel unbalanced, because the first one is in Chapter 8, and the second one isn't available until after Chapter 15 (technically Chapter 13, but getting it there is almost too difficult to be worth mentioning). Meanwhile, there are a full seven units that can use them, and it feels really bad to promote either Lance or Allen and then have to wait somewhere between 1 and 7 chapters to promote the other. Guiding Rings are also feel pretty bad, as the first one is again available in Chapter 8, but the second isn't until Chapter 14. There are seven characters competing for these at that point, with an eighth joining a few chapters later. The second Hero's Crest comes earlier than others, Chapter 11 at the latest, but there are still a whopping eight units competing for them. Granted, a few of them don't feel like characters that were meant to be used long-term (i.e. Lott and Ward), but it's still really imbalanced. On the other hand, there are three Elysian Whips available by the end of Chapter 11, but only two characters to actually use them on until Chapter 13. There's also two Orion's bolts before chapter 12, with only four characters to use them on. Two of those units are regarded as very bad, while the other two you rarely want to use together because they will inevitably lead you to the more difficult route through the game.

I've always hated the combination of permadeath and no saving/checkpoints/turn wheel. I understand that sometimes it can make situations more intense and whatnot, but most of the time what actually happens is that you make a small mistake and then you lose a unit and you have to restart the entire chapter all over again, which is super tedious and unreasonable for people that have responsibilities to attend to. And don't get me started on all those back to back chapters in Fates... So anyway, divine pulse in 3H is obviously busted, so they should refine the system, maybe make it cost gold or just limit its uses somehow, but it totally needs to be in any future FE game.

One possible fix for the design that resulted in your second failure would be a blacksmith option similar to 3H. Let weapons be kept as broken ones, and have a shop in base where you can repair them for gold. Probably won't help you the way you blow through gold, but it'll help those of us who don't veer so far away from the hoarding pitfall into the opposite one, lol

You are 100% right that FE6 being a world-driven plot is what makes its story great; it is not some intricate, convoluted bullshit that is impossible to believe, but a simple story that is actually quite compelling and gratifying when all is said and done.

My only complain about a lyn cameo, it's that it would basically deconfirm two ships, but it's understandable.

Day 39 of asking Mangs to play Pokémon Conquest. What I would want for an FE6 remake is for Roy's death scream to be ripped straight from Smash Bros Ultimate.

one thing i was thinking: if they wanted to add FE7 characters to it,couldnt they do it in one of those DLC campaigns that add extra characters? like the cipher characters in echoes or the ashen wolves in three houses,that way it wont take anything away from development,supports and that sort of stuff in the base game which is what people seem to be worried about alot when it comes to these remakes and adding new characters/old ones.

What they could do with FE7 characters: Pent and Louise: show up to talk about dragons at some point. Not playable Legault: He should def show up to talk to Lugh and Raigh. Not playable. Lyn: She’s dead, let it be depressing. Rebecca: Can be a base NPC to be a team mom for everyone. Any of the other Lycian knights: probably all dead with Hector.

I think you could add Princess Guinivere as a normal Playable Unit that you get instantly when she joins Roy in the Story. Because in a Remake she could just be like: "im retreating" when she gets killed, like Plot Relevant Characters in Three Houses.

Here is what I would want from a FE6 remake; The story + FE7's involvement with FE6's story- No matter how much Mangs despises FE7's story (though I still think it's a far less bland story than what FE6 has), it will remain canon to Elibe. They need to iron out some of the inconsistencies between the two games. I would not be surprised if they briefly mention the Black Fang, like Hector asking why Zephiel himself would attack him despite saving the dude's life back then. Make Roy somewhat less bland. Give some of the side characters their occasional moments in the story. For the most part, FE6's story feels like the Roy, Guinevere, and Merlinus show. I doubt most of the FE7 characters will show up; especially with Canas dying to a plot hole and Karla meeting her end with an illness. However, it would be neat to have cameo appearances with characters like Lyn and Oswin. Or maybe even side stories where you can play as these characters; like yes a pre-promoted nomadic trooper Lyn. Hector's death at times comes off as anti-climatic in FE6. I feel like they need to make his death more emotional. Narshen could be a tad bit more competent. Balance- I am surprised Mangs did not mention how broken paladins are in FE6 and FE7. Remove their ability to use axes and add in Great Knights. It would be nice for thieves to forgo lockpicks and be able to promote into assassins. Archers and snipers need to be more useful (especially with having them do 3x effective damage in all regions for FE7's remake). Fix the hit rates of axes and lances. Make Eclipse less useless. Nerf throne bonuses. Tone down the amount of HP walls have. Make the critical bonus for sword masters less ridiculous, but don't nerf as hard as what FE7 and FE8 did. Buff the usage of silver weapons, but make them less accurate. Nerf the high usage of iron weapons and add in training weapons (FE7 had the disc bonus known as the Emblem Sword. Make the training weapons have less might than both iron and emblem weapons (Emblem Sword had the same might as iron swords)). Weapon weight subtracts from ATK instead of CON (same for FE7 and FE8). Give Idunn (along with the fire dragon and Demon King in FE7 and E8) multi-layered HP to make it harder to cheese them. Bad units- I like that Project Ember buffed the bad units, but it did go too far at times (ironically like with Roy). An official remake need to be more careful about that. If they are really bad; like Barth, Wendy, and Sophia, it makes sense to buff their base stats. Difficulties- Three difficulties; Normal, Hard (the old normal), and Lunatic (the old hard mode). True ending- Have better hints of when there is a gaiden chapter coming up and stress the fact you need to get the divine weapons from the gaiden chapters to get the true ending. Other stuff- Rework Merlinus to be similar to how he works in FE7 and give him an armored supply carrier when he promotes. Be able to buy divine stones for Fae during post game. Secret conditions to make Gale playable (there are hints with his AI behavior that he was probably meant to be recruitable. Not to mention he was originally going to wield the dragon spear). Rework support conversations so that the two units only have to be on the same map and be fighting near each other. Improve the amount of items you can carry in the convoy from 100 to somewhere from 200 to 400 (same with FE7 and FE8). Allow the bosses to drop the spear and tomahawk.

What about having Hector dying on the battlefield as Durban says instead of having him dying in prison, something like a cutscene where he was in a half dead state on a mountain of wyvern corpses when Roy and Co. find him. Despite Lyn being one of my favorite FE characters, I prefere she not being in the game, it would be good if she and other characters from fe7 get simply mentioned, but not more than that, we had fe7 girls marring Eliwood or Hector, putting them in fe6 would mean make it canon a fe7 ending on who would/wouldn't end up with eliwood and Hector Also about Al and his group, it would be good if they join in garden chapters, and if doesn't unlock the Gaiden chapter, it doesn't influence too much the main story The real question is, is Tiera going to challenge Louise as Egg's main Fe waifu?

I think one of the biggest ones would be to fix some of the story inconsistencies between 6 and 7 in eventual remakes, I would also like to see 7 come 1st and then 6 for to be more chronological and possibly be able to do some transfers and they mention whose parents are who etc

I want support endings for other character then Roy the Pimp. Also Hector decking whole Bern army on his own before Zephiel showing up.

I wouldn't mind if Lyn/Eliwood/Hector ended up in similar roles to Hector in FE6 where he was a reward character in the trial maps, but they have their FE7 promoted classes and animations instead...I feel like that would be a good balance

I had a fever dream about a prologue in etruria (maybe following klein and clarine) like the lyn story of FE6. maybe it could expand on some of the unrest happening there, potentially including more cameos from FE7. If it ends poorly for the gang it would clear up why they're not helping out more. Then the units who make it out could join with klein in the western isles.

Know what I think would be a cool idea? A Blazing Sword remake that leads into a Binding Blade remake with choices, impacting that game. Of course, the ability to play a base Binding Blade playthrough should be done as well.

7:50 you know what would be funny? Lyn making a gameplay appearance as a GREEN UNIT. Then everyone (read, no one)would be happy.

Mongs, I hope you're doing well. I think that keeping the game 2d makes it a hard sell for full price, if it doesn't do a full Echoes-like remake then the game probably shouldn't be remade. I think if they get the right engine they can have some really amazing animations, the 3ds didn't have enough power and they chose an engine that won't age well with 3 houses.

I liked that some fe7 characters would be mentioned, for example general lowen is on the alternative route, florina, farina and fiora are figthing in other side of the etrurian army, etc

one thing that i see happening in the eventual remake is that lilina is turn into a lord character.

Commenting before watching: I don't really want a remake of the Elibe games, but if they were to happen, I'd like to see the possibility of influencing Binding Blade depending on how you play Blazing Sword, like you do in Genealogy of the Holy War. If I pair Hector with Florina for example, could I get a Lilina with more speed? Maybe do the support between Will and Rebecca and get Wolt with more strength.

About buffing characters, I think it's really important considering How some characters outshine too much other characters. While some characters like dieck, melady and percival are pretty good, Barth and sophia feel like a waste of time

Personally, I think the sacred weapons should have something like "guardians", and FE7 characters could appear as those. Mulagir could be guarded by Lyn, or Maltet by Fiora. It could expand the world a bit more, and be a nice fanservice for older players. Also, I'd add a "true ending" where Roy and Lilina marry (they are like 99% canon, let's be honest). I'd love to see Hector's ghost alongside Eliwood and Lyn during their child's wedding, it would be such a beautiful ending.

I would love to a 2 in 1 game where we get little bonuses for the choices made in FE7 in the FE6 section. Like who ever you have marry Hector and Eliwood shows up in the story there. Like Lyn can have multiple entry spots depending where she ends in FE7 and if she is playable her supports change depending on where she spent the last 20 years. Also a Liliana upgrade to a lord class and couple side stories based around her before she is rescued by Roy with some of the Ostia characters/her mother and the rebels would be fun. Also cameos expanded in both games.

Binding Blade remake: I sleep New game based on Al's adventure: I woke No seriously, I kinda need it. It is just such an interessting untold story in the history of elibe and it sucks that we never get to see it. Instead we get to see the noncanon manga that is...not as exciting. Edit: Lyn would be 36 in FE6, unless they actually make her western age canon like what happened with TMS. She is 16 at the time of eliwood-mode.

In regards to having characters to work off Roys personality; They could give Wolt, Lance and Allen the Gray and Tobin treatment.

at this rate, I can't wait to see "what I want from a Revelation Remake"

If they remake FE:6, I’d absolutely love it to be in the graphical style of Octopath Traveler. 2D characters with detailed still pixelated 3D backgrounds.

I literally just bought the original game in box from Japan! I home and want a remake of this game, it’s basicly tied for my favorite fire emblem of all time

I suppose i disagree to a good extend. I'm fine with the focus on the Continent with the story, but generally, i find it endearting if we had both the story in general and then the reaction of the cast as well. I would love for Roy to have more conversation partners, especially Lilina or whoever is native to the area, maybe giving some small tipps to him so he can lead his army better. Generally, more inclusion of the cast. It doesn't have to devolve into Fates where everybody has to get their 2 cents in just to remind people that they still exist. Tied to the story, would be the fe7 part. I think this is the part where i disagree the most. I'd love to have The kids talk about their canonical parent. Like, Clarine could mention Louse and Pent at some points or Luke wondering where Nino is. They do not have to mention possible partners for their canonical parents. Eliwood, as example, can marry multiple girls and 'setting' one to be completely canon (more than Ninian is at that point) would be ill adviced. I don't want them to replace other notable characters but to add to the story. Maybe Eliwoods health gets seemingly better and he can take up some political work again to help roy. Maybe Lyn can help them otherwhise while they're in Sacae but is bound to maybe her own duties there, thus cannot join. One or two cameos would be nice, but nobody of the major cast. Maybe having Matthew join and act as an informant again would be pretty cool. Or help Lucius defend a couple of children until they're safe and he'll join your cause. I'd appreciate some ties and backstories to fe7 alot. I'm aware that including playable ones would be cathering, but as long it's that and not having bare arses and breasts cheaply stuffed in your face fates-style then i'm fine with some fan-service. But generally being mentioned or having smaller impacts would be nice. The main center should still be roy of course. For the difficulty. Some characters do need a buff desperately, because what i've seen from the game, unless the player specifically goes out of their way, you'll mostly end up with the same troup every single time. So giving some more decent characters would give the game alot more replayability and possibliities for the player to structure their team. A Casual mode is fine for players that just want to enjoy the story. For the hardcracks, they can still add another maniac mode to maniac all other maniacs there is if they still wanna be fe6-elitists. Shoehorning a turnwheel in woud throw me off as well though. I disagree on the gaiden chapter thing as well. I suppose i'm a bit old school as well, but usually you played through a game, got the mediovcre ending and then playing it again, to get the good one. I'd like to get a note at the end of the usual ending that the player has yet to find the 'proper' ending. What i would change is, that these holy weapons can't break compeltely. If they're used up, they just get reduced stats (and cannot be hammerned anymore) but still exist, so collecting them itslf is the task. For the gaiden chapters, it's fine to have them as secret objectives.

I can't wait to hear remixed music, mates. Hearing Zephiel's and Idoun's boss theme and whatever map theme plays in C. 10 remixed would be heavenly.

I’d really like a 6 and 7 remake. If we don’t get a radiant dawn or path of radiance game

I'd want a duology remake, Blazing Sword packaged with Binding Blade. Choices you make in Blazing could be reflected in Binding. If they wanted to keep it simple, small things like who are Roy and Lilina's mothers; or if they wanted to put more effort into it, maybe creating some optional content with the Bern royal family in Blazing that would influence the state of things in Binding. Mostly I'm thinking about the former, and how it's a natural opportunity to do some of the bloodline stuff FE likes to do (Genealogy, Awakening). Maybe if Lyn is Roy's mother his stats tend more toward Myrmidon-like and he gets bows on promotion, versus if Fiora is his mother he'd get lances instead and have his growths influenced by hers instead, etc. Not sure what having Ninian as his mother would do for him, though...

Personally, I want the Gaidens to not be missable, but to keep a smaller reward for achieving the old gaiden requirements. I think Gale makes sense as a recruitable late game character. Otherwise, the manga characters would be fun as added units. I want more difficulty settings with more nuance as well.

When I played Binding Blade, the only thing that massively bothered me was that Lilina wasn't a story relevant character at all. I was expecting her to play a role similar to say, Gray or Tobin from Echoes, i.e someone who actually has dialogue in the main story. So if FE6 were to be remade, I think the only big *change* I'd want want made to the story would be to give Lilina a role. The fact that she got a legendary alt. in Heroes just further serves to make me wish she had some level of importance.

I know it's unlikely but I'd love to see a FE8 Remake. It could expand upon the Original and make it better than before. I'm surprised you didn't talk about the Arena Multiplayer mode. I thought you would.

I think the "bad ending" is an anti-softlock measure. It makes sure you are equipped to deal with numerous dragons.

If you play on casual, why do you need a turnwheel? Here's a better one for you: If you play on classic, why do you need a turnwheel? Just go play casual if you can't accept losing your units.

I love Lyn (and proudly admit to being a bit of a fanboy, as well as that she was one of my 2D crushes since I first played it, if not first ever one), but I gotta agree with Mangs - I don't want to see Lyn as a playable character in a FE6 remake, as her story has been told already, and would feel like cheap fanservice at that point. I would still love to see a combination of FE6 and FE7 in one game cartridge, where while not necessary to do so, you can choose a completed FE7 save file when starting FE6, and if you do, some dialogue and/or side-characters may be added into it. Examples of this could include references to Ninian if Eliwood got married to her, and maybe slight references to Roy being a half-dragon when they reach Arcadia (Maybe Sophia mentioning that he's just like her in that instance), or if Hector + Eliwood got together with their pegasus sisters options, Roy and Lilina would be cousins - able to A support, but in that instance they would not get together, unlike Corrin + Azura pairings in a Fates - Revelations playthrough (though to be fair on that, they didn't learn that their mothers were sisters untl like the last almost the last chapters of that run, and most likely would've already had Kanna and Shigure by that point already. OOPS~)

I actually would like a single remake that would unite FE6 and 7

So here's a point of view of a casual player: To me, turnwheel helps with mistakes caused by mis-clicks or inattention. I don't mind living with my mistakes that are caused by me not being good at strategy, but the first case causes the kind of frustration which makes it difficult to like/finish a game (because I play to relax, not get frustrated). Casual mode is more of a failsafe. If I'm playing a story mission, I will restart a battle when I lose a unit. But if I'm grinding exp... I really don't want to deal with permadeath OR waste my turnwheel on it. Plus, playing with permadeath on adds unnecessary pressure, even if my playstyle will be 100% identical to playing casual. Hope that explains things a bit!

What I want from a Binding Blade remake: Playable Guinevere,not in trial maps. Roy talking to more people besides Merlinus. Buffing up Hugh and turning him into a level one sage to justify his high asking price. More Narcian. More Zephiel. Turn the route split into the player's choice, instead of arbitrarily leveling up pegs or nomads. Make Lilina more relevant after her gaiden chapter. Buff axe hit rates. Looks like we agree on a few points.

I think Fe7's inclusion in the story of Fe6 would only make sense if Nintendo and Intelligent Systems decided to remake both games and advertise Fe6 remake as a sequel to Fe7 remake rather than the other way around with Fe7 remake being advertised as a prequel. Because at that point, if a new player were to play Fe7 remake first then they would want some references to the game in Fe6 remake. That is the only way it would work, and I sort of understand if Nintendo took this route with a hypothetical Fe6 and Fe7 remake plan. Since Fe7 was released in the west and most people know about it, regardless of Roy being in Smash, most likely they would want Fe6 to have some fan service reference of Fe7 to help selling the whole "sequel" notion of the game. I can understand Mangs's uncertainty towards having a lot of Fe7 references taking the spotlight away from Fe6, but they most likely want Fe6 to sell as much as possible if they were to sell a remake.

I'll be honest, I wouldn't bother buying your version of FE6 remake over just emulating the original. I'll take a remake that goes off the rails any day over one that just goes 1-1 on the original. I want both games to be worth playing on their own merits.

This is the second time in a row I looked at a notification and thought: Didn't Mangs make this video already? Is youtube showing me old stuff again? First I conflated the genealogy video with path of radiance, now binding blade with genealogy.

I feel like I'd like an fe 6 remake but I'd like fe 7 first. Imagine a generation of new players being able to see Hector being awesome and then dying in a later remake would be more impactful. But eh that's just me.

Make Lilina a lord so Roy could have someone to talk to and please make Lilina actually be traumatized by Hector's death.

"Kill her way through her nations army" *Except thats not in her character whatsoever, theres a big difference in sending someone to do it and doing it yourself.* That aside, I'd like extra playable characters, I agree.

Although Binding Blade is criticised for its bland story, I think it has the outlining and the potential to be great. Tweaking the story and adding more flavour to it through a remake could go a long way in making Fire Emblem 6's story stand out a lot more. The Binding Blade is a story about the duality of humankind, best represented by the opposing ideologies of the main antagonist Zephiel, who seeks to cleanse the world of the immorality of humans, and the protagonist Roy who believes in the goodness of humans. Idunn also plays into this theme well, given her backstory of being exploited by the dragons, and regaining her soul and good-nature in the epilogue with Fae. There are plenty of other characters who play into this duality, like Gonzales, Raigh, or Rutger, but you get my point. The reason most of this goes unnoticed is because The Binding Blade's characterisation is relatively bland, and dialogue within the main story is kind of stilted. The general presentation of the story makes it seem almost directionless and is kind of ambiguous about its themes. This is why I think Fire Emblem 6 would benefit so much from a remake, given that they touch up the story a bit and focus more on its characters and interactions, because it really does have the qualities of a great story. You did say that you like Binding Blade for its focus on its world, but while I do think that there needs to be more attention to characterisation in a potential remake, I also believe that this can be done without taking some of that focus away from its world. Given that some adjustments are made to the worldbuilding so that it plays into the story better, Binding Blade could retain its unique aspect. That's just my two cents on what should be done in a Binding Blade remake. Nice video, Mangs. It's always fun to hear what you have to say.

Making a character feel special by making the entire cast feel like hot garbage isn't a very creative way to show how great a character is. Its probably a huge reason why personal skills exist in modern fire emblem because its harder to say why an orange is better than an apple than its is to which number is bigger. Though i wish fire emblem would be more wild with its growth rates to show different character power levels like give one of the slow cavaliers a 100 resist growth and 0 def and the other 100 defense and 0 resist as an extreme example. And roy should remain hot garbage for most of the campaign because that was a good thing about the adv games, it punished "hes the main character so he must be good lets spam him" which is common in jrpgs.

I’d be cool with a bundled FE6 and FE7 if it’s treated like FE3 having book 1 and book 2 as separate tales that don’t impact one another. Accept for maybe trial maps or something of that nature. Also I want them to bring an online versus mode against other people like Shadow Dragon had, which took many things from FE6 specifically such as stats. Speaking of stats, I personally did not like how stat caps were allocated. I’d love to keep the 30 caps, but it has to make sense. Why have a Berserker with 24 Res cap when his growth is 5%?

if they made a remake i would want them to have a retro mode toggle that turns the sound and visuals to be exactly like the gba (like how Soul Silver Heart Gold has a sound toggle when you complete the game)

I feel that there SHOULD be some fe7 characters in fe6, but only ones that made sense to be included. It's implied that Matthew remained a spy for Ostia after the end of fe7, and he has a lot of plot significance in Hector's route, so it'd be a no-brainer for him to try and help Lilina during the Ostian rebellion. However, I can't see him occupying any other niche besides that of Astolfo, who I wouldn't want to shaft seeing as he's a REALLY good character. Maybe have Matthew show up as a prepromoted Assassin during Chapter 8x? Either way, I don't feel that he'd draw much attention away from Roy past the Ostia chapters, considering the focus is sort of on Lilina and her subjects during them.

As for the Story of Binding Blade...the main problem is that you could take so many of the cast...and nothing would change which is a bad thing. Like Tearring Saga and Berwick Saga have shown us that you can fit in both. These two games have really good world-building and good characters. So it is possible...heck Berwick Saga didn't even have supports and instead had events around the characters. As for Balance...once again...Berwick Saga solves this by using the skill system. For example...yes I am doing it again, two cavalier Adel and Leon. Both of them are mounted, use the same weapon and nearly the same stat with Adel being faster and Leon being more tougher...so how does the game make them unique? Simple, the skills...Adel has Vantage while Leon Death match. This might seem minor but overall, it makes them play a lot different than the rest of the mounted cast and makes them unique without well...making them shit. As for meme material...we have 150 who became a joke within the Berwick Saga community due to his bad movement but even so, he has his uses within the game which is saying a lot. In terms of Legendary weapon. Berwick Saga did a good job in terms of balancing them as the only 'legendary' weapons are magic...and the mages that get these orbs either appear late, pretty weak overall or just need a promotion. Alongside how limited their uses are. Heck, the legendary weapons that appear within the game are often given to character due to story, event or are needed for a good reason like Reese...a Lord with a unique gimmick as..he can't even join in the event mission or side missions and is restricted to main chapter missions and these weapons help him so much!

I played and enjoyed both of the GBA FE games that released in the US, but I honestly don't think I would've picked up any of the others due to how much of a heavy grind the game turns into when you're trying to keep your people alive in the middle and late game. Awakening's Casual mode was the greatest thing ever in my opinion because having to repeat an hour long map three or four times is not my idea of fun.

I would like an extra cutscene at the start start of the game that’s like a castle cutscene like Fe8, where we see how Marcus tells Roy there is a problem, how Roy got his squad together, maybe a new chapter before the first chapter just Roy, Wolt and Marcus. Edit 2, the real game I want is a part 2 of Sacred Stones, I’ve wanted this for a while, I want to see a story of Eirikas and Ephraims children go on a quest (they marry other people no incest please) they can have 4 main characters for banter dialogue, 2 kids from Eirika and 2 from Ephraim and they can later on do a route split like in fe8 Edit 3: Buff Sophia so she isn’t useless, make her bad of course, but not useless Edit 4:Yes no turn wheel pls, I don’t enjoy playing Casual, but they need to make it easy to reset, none of this close the system bullshit, keep permadeath but make it easier to reset Final Edit: I hate chapter 5, change it, also they should make a character recruitable there, Gant would work perfectly

I think the "Bad Units" part of FE6 is alright, but we might need to slightly tweak what the "Good Units" are in that game, because there are PLENTY of characters that SHOULD be powerful, but just aren't. It makes sense if your random armorknight recruit, some green kid thief, or maybe a sleepy cavalier can't do much in a large-scale war (Bors Barth, Gwendolyn, Cath, Treck, etc.), but what about a half-dragon with foresight, the most renowned Generals in a nation, or son to (arguably) one of the most powerful druids to have walked Elibe (Sophia, Douglass/Cecilia, Hugh, etc.) I don't want them to get RID of there being overpowered units, but changing which units are overpowered to better match their canonical strength would be nice, what do you think?

It's weird. People always go on about how they're sick of "overly important" protagonists and want "new things", but then when they get it they just say they're bland and boring. Sure, execution is a part of it, but I've seen this way too often. Then people wonder why the game industry plays it safe. Similarly, people love ludonarrative, but then harp on fe for having "useless and weak" units. Sometimes it makes sense characters are bad or average. Not everyone is a god general. Like fe 4 where Holy Blood is hyped up to be insane, and thus most of the Holy Blood characters are insane in gameplay too. Sure, again, execution matters, but like Mangs said "when everyone's special. no one is". It also allows for "challenge/meme" runs where you use bad units (which Mangs mentions as I type this lol).

God DAMN mnags you're just PUMPING OUT the good content! Keep it up, you're doing a great job!

They should make it so that anyone who uses the armads has their ending in the epilogue changed to them dying in battle. For continuity’s sake

Roy should promote before getting the binding blade, either when Guinivere gives him the fire emblem, or when they retake the western isles, or when the retake aquileia. Playable Lyn could happen in two ways. If you take the Sacae route, if you visit the village in chapter 23 with Fir or Bartre, you get Karel as usual, or if you visit it with Roy, Sue or Sin you get Lyn, weaker than Karel, but can use bows and comes with the sol katti which is effective against the dragons in the next chapter. Or, there's an unlockable or DLC side story campaign that takes place after the main game with a few chapters, maybe 5 or 10, that's meant to tie all loose ends with fe7 where Lyn joins you along with Eliwood and is dedicated to fe7 fan service, like archsage pent, etc. The legendary weapon thing can be solved by making it so when they break, they lose the stat bonuses and some might, but are still available to use and be restored by the hammerne and still count towards the good ending regardless.

Lyn would actually be 36 in binding blade as in the OG japanese release of FE7, lyn is 15 (16 during eliwood/hector's tale). Disagree with Noah as I usually support him with fir and it is pretty fast to build and he's fairly reasonable as he is pretty accurate (less meaningful in an ironman as iron weapons with very few exceptions are the most accurate weapons) as well as being fairly bulky for a non Percival paladin, with that said I understand your point of view and how you developed it. I like the inclusion of the Hasha no Tsuguri characters as it would be a nice reference to both the manga and Ankoku no Miko, the fire emblem 64 DD game that was scrapped with most of binding blade's plot, but scrapped due to Nintendo scrapping the N64 DD, Binding Blade is my favorite Fire Emblem too and awesome video.

What I want from an FE6 remake: > A remake

I wonder if you could buff Geese just by buffing the brave axes hit rate. His damage with a brave axe is decent as far as I remember, but his hitrate is garbage.

Honestly with hectors part in the story, I would like to see him be defeated during the map, like how it happens to quan and ethlyn for example.

"The manga is weird" First of all the manga is amazing, and second you forgot Kilmar! Best boy who deserved better.

I would say to do videos for Thracia 776 (like what kind of transfer content would there be if it detects a save file with Genealogy and how to make the final boss more interesting; considering there was an unused idea for Veld to turn into a dragon), Radiant Dawn (like how certain stuff about the story could be tightened up and for them to include story material from the Japan only extended script), Lyn mode from FE7 (it's basically one extended tutorial. Like how would both normal and hard mode for Lyn mode be handled in a remake), and a what-if for Book 1 (even if unlikely to ever happen (it at times felt like a trimmed down version of the original; especially with the first three bosses being rather nerfed). Shadow Dragon; even if my least favorite modern Fire Emblem, makes the idea redundant).

I actually agree with your lyn statement I like her but a lot of fe 7 characters should be left on the sidelines. I think negreal should be mentioned or the black fang at least one. But it should be stressed that eliwood told Roy about the dragons, and how they manged to fight one.

Binding Blade is my all-time favourite!

To shoehorn more of Hector I would have the first chapter Hector teaching Roy. I would give Hector the classic dead father trope however with his role on FE7 I feel it wouldn't make him redundant.
