I definitely predicted the Thracia banner in FEH

Absolutely insane timing. Literally like 2 days ago I was seeing if anyone had done a Thracia deathless challenge and couldn't find anything.

Evil Excelblem

These transition slides and editing are fantastic really clean. Completely capture that Persona 5 UI style excellently, the video is fantastic and a well earned like after such a daunting task.

Fun fact Eyvel can survive being stoned if Nanna gets enough con levels before you open the door. You rescue eyvel with Nanna and Eyvel won't be stoned. But you will only get Eyvel back in 21X if you escape without her

This has to be the most underrated SNES game ever made. I love that a challenge run like this is even a thing that can be considered. The mechanics of this game are so unique and fun to mess with.

Giving the AI berserk to get your own unit berserked to berserk the AI is a very funny move. It reminds me of FE6 berserked thieves being able to steal the firestone in how they break the normal rules of the game. I was expecting you to almost need to make the enemies grind staff EXP for a second because that's also a thing that can happen in FE5. Also pretty interesting how you needed to revert back to the original version to actually progress. Shame about Chapter 20 though, I think I actually saw the post you made on Serenes Forest about it.

The gustav reverse berserk gambit was insane oh my god. I love that the mechanics of this game are malleable enough to allow that. Great video and definitely subscribing : )

The editing and this video is amazing. Im so glad there's been a lot of Thracia content on KZfaq lately. I've stated this somewhere in the comment section, but i find the timing very ironic because I recently did a minimum recruitment run which is the exact opposite of this video lol.😅 Great video 👍

Damn, those animations are smooth! Also, nice run. I know next to nothing about Fire Emblem but this seems like a totally normal way of playing this game🤔

Excited for the video, pacifist challenges are always interesting

Bro, the editing is amazing! Also the ch18 and ch24 strats are insane! I just finished my Thracia 2nd playthrough not long ago after wathing Excelblem deranged Thracia ironman where he killed a lot of units and then this video pops out and this is crazy, the effort is insane and the edit slaps, love that Persona style edit! You got a new sub!

How have I never heard of you but you come in with transitions that are so clean!

Reverse heisting is one of my favourite mechanics in this game,truly the world is your oyster in this game

oh hey it's thracia

Yeah i was surprised when the enemy did that too but it was ch 8 for me. I robbed an enemy of his stuff, thought i could capture him next turn, then was shocked to see him just get another axe from the store. Also fun fact that I learned trying to do ch 18 double objective without killing soldiers or the 8 knights, if an enemy unit is left without weapons, but sees their ally has a spare to use (or is asleep while holding it) they borrow it to use as their own. Those cheeky pricks knew what I was trying to do and made it harder to clear.

God I love the funky big brained shit that Thracia lets you do. Excellent work dude, the amount of effort you put into this was staggering and it really shows. 👍

the gustav stats were absolutely DIABOLICAL i was blown away. i love your editing style too :)

Gosh, so glad to see this out. Posting it everywhere!

The P3R-style cut-in screens are sick, nice work

Holy crap the editing on this video is nuts

UI elements are fucking slick here Jesus Christ man

Love the persona like edits to show the stats and stuff good job 👍

Thracia is such an amazing game. It was the last Fire Emblem from the creator of Fire Emblem, Shouzou Kaga and he was known for putting a lot of interesting mechanics in the game like 11:30 . There's other interesting mechanics too like if bosses run out of weapon durability they'll take their soldier's weapons. I don't know if it's still true, but the enemy is very "chaotic" in this game and for some reason very tiny changes will change how the enemy AI works. If you play the GBA Fire Emblems this is not true, you can always force the enemies to attack certain characters because they have a priority, maybe something simple like they'll attack whoever has the lowest defense. But Thracia is really weird with enemy AI, something as simple as your inventory item order will change who the enemy AI chooses to attack. You have great editing as well, great video!

So basically play the game the way Corrin would want to

This video was great, both the in depth strats and the editing were great!!!

1:22 Oh woah that's really slick and cool

Damn, the editing is top notch, really cool style

I just found your video! Great work into how you presented the whole thing.

The editing goes so hard damnnnnn. Excellent video

This is excellent, great job dude

Excellent video, really glad to see a youtuber I like cover such a special game!

The editing for this is really nice and accompanies gameplay very well, fire emblem can be a gold mine for challenge runs and I'd love to see more of those !

Bravo 👏🏻! That’s Tremendously Awesome! Cheers!🥂❤️✨

Beautiful editing and a great video!

The editing is awesome!

I found out about the enemies buying new weapons from the shop whilst dicking around in chapter 10 and wondering where these red units were going. Such a sick detail. Those transitions are so cool.

Absolutely amazing effort. I am in awe.

Great editing, subbed

God, I love your video editing!!!

The transitions in this video are amazing man, keep up the good work 👍

Honestly, if one unit in all of thracia has to be killed I’m satisfied that it’s Bharat. Screw him for having ambush spawn meteor mages and ballistas in his army on a DEFEND map. That takes a special kind of evil.

The production value is incredible, and the creativity displayed in this run is inspiring. I was almost certain the answer would be no from the onset because I thought most bosses would be uncapturable, but only one required kill is still impressive.

This was such a fun run to watch. The berserk getting that boss off of the throne had me in awe

This is unrelated but the video being about FE5 got me thinking about it's bosses. There's lots of escape maps, a defend map, and many bosses who are susceptible to effective weaponry. Even if thrones give 10 defense, since crits double atk and not triple damage and this game has Follow up crits, wrath, and +10 crit from supports the only real bosses I think are actually hard to kill (not capture, and for the sake of the argument assume no magic users) are Gomez, Gustav, and maybe a few field bosses just cause they move so your options may be limited. But I just finised playing chapter 8 of Binding blade on NORMAL and Legance has 17 defence, 9 speed, and 10 res. The only magic users in Lilina and Lugh are gonna do 3-4 damage with chances to hit in the 60%'s so they can't outdamage his throne healing alone, the only weapons that even do more than low single digit are the armor effective but he uses lances and hammer is garbage in FE6. Promoted Dieck or a trained Rutger can double with Hammer or Armorslayer but even then Dieck is facing hit chances in the 20%'s for both hits and while Rutger is getting 50%. The third strongest option is Zelot with an armor slayer who is gonna be doubling with about 41% and tanking 2 hits. Outside of these three nobody can be expected to dent Legance without running the risk of wasting all the Armorslayer uses to throne heal. What upsets me about this is the fact that the rest of normal mode (non bosses) is so saddingly easy you could probably win with an autobattle feature as Rutger, Dieck, and the Jagen's would still prevail. It reminds me of how unbalanced FE6's cast is and how the lack of mechanics that add complexity to the combat make bosses boil down to facing terrible hit rates and slogging through dozens of turns.

This is the cleanest thracia video I've seen on KZfaq

Personal looking transitions

Editing is insaneee GJ

The little animation name card things look really slick

Amazing video, I've always wondered if a run like this was possible, or more specifically how many kills it would actually take. I knew Bharat would need to die for sure but I hadn't considered that crazy Gustav situation, amazing work with that! Shame about Bharat but otherwise this highlights one of my favourite things about Thracia: you *can* save basically everyone, but you're not going to. There's therefore this constant air of moral greyness, where you always have the ability to spare people, but rarely actually have the option. This video proves it. This is also why I think Karin and Xavier, and to an extent Gomez, are so perfect in this game. They're all sympathetic enemies that can obviously be recruited (or spared), but at the same time their recruitment (or sparing) methods are so obscure that fresh players won't be able to, and therefore have to kill them even though there was no specific state blocking them from being saved, just mechanical quirks and the unforgiving gameplay in general.

dude the editing of all the info boxes and the general aesthetic of the whole video is tickling that little visual design side of my brain and I love it, cant wait to see what you do in the future

I've never played Thracua before but wow you can do some absolutely insane strategies. This game has so many interesting mechanics

certified ansel g moment

The editing on this video makes me want a Thracia remake. This is super clean

Enemies being able to use shops is hilarious. I never knew that.

Id argue shadow dragon hard 5 is considerably more difficult, but thracia is definitely one of the harder ones

Awesome video with excellent presentation! Would love to see the specifics of how u used ur resources, like where the hammerne uses went!

Essentially, you're going for big boss rank

You really have to love this game

Excelblem: KILL Ansel G: Live

Oh its a fire emblem game! I was wondering what it was.

Holy shit that's the most insane FE challenge run I've ever seen. I don't even like playing Thracia normally and you did the the hardest possible challenge imaginable. Legendary

Really creative run. Was not expecting all those berserk strats.

Holy shit the editing is really good

That sounds like hell... Mostly from having to play Thracia

Wat a classic game. Bet it long game lol. Suprise how good game look. Keep it up.

now that's a lot of effort

I tried going kill less my first playthrough , but only with bosses (because of unique dialogues). It was fun in a certain way, but I have no desire to try it again or even play Thracia

Is your editing style inspired by Persona 5? Looks super similar (in a really good way)

I had also set myself the goal of finishing fe5 while only capturing, so I know how difficult it it (I was in elite mode because it was my first time playing the game so I'm not sure if that counts). I stopped the "challenge" somewhere around chapter 9 because Macha got RNG blessed by killing enemies (enemy phase) and I didn't want to lost two points of movement. I'm surprised by the fact that someone actually finished the whole game by just capturing (Bharat not included 🙃) I haven't thought about the ennemies berserking Raydrik so he can just leave the throne 😂 But seriously congrats man 👏

You should try this with the Fe 8 randomizer (it has a thracha 776 mode) and yes you can put the randomizer on 0 which means as long as you include 776 in your name you are good

Man you're really developing your own unique style

Bro wtf is this editting? I hope you make it big cuz goddamn does this editting show you should be

Your absolutely cracked units by chapter 5 is hilarious. Max movement

Awsome

looks like Corrin has some competition

The edition and the commitment to the challenge are nothing short of incredible, you're amazing, dude! If you ever feel like making another fire emblem challenge, try out fire emblem 4 without attacking, it would be really interesting to see the "sigurd takes over half a continent in self defense" meme actually become real, as you would ACTUALLY do everything in self-defense.

I don't know much about Thracia's code so this is only a guess, but I think Gustaf moved only in the JP version because Little Manster makes it so that stationary enemies don't show their movement when you click over them, which was not the case in the original version.

Great video. Here's hoping it does numbers. I'm wondering about your process for Bharat - as in, what you tried and why it didn't work. Maybe an enterprising FE5 lover will appear in the comments with a solution.

The persona-like transitions were really clean. But the berserk staff sheneigians were the highlight of the video. Only 1 guy is required to die in this game which is just insane because all the new fire emblem games are just route the enemy. Leif really is the sage lord because being able to go almost deathless in one of the hardest fire emblem games is big-brain worthy.

I assume you had to restart at 16:32 when Shiva retaliation killed that bandit in 4K.

Haha enemies using the shops too is hilarious 😂

Cool challenge, and amazing graphics and animation! If I may ask you, what programs did you use/how did you put those together?

The biggest brain plays

Bravo.

Enemies can train their weapon rank in thracia btw, so you could have made the sorcerers train their staff rank

This video kicks ass, good work. Did you make the P5 screens with Thracia characters yourself? And if so, is there any chance I could use them?

Niiiiice. A bit of feedback here: The title and thumbnail don't make it clear from a casual glance that this isn't just a full recruitment/green unit survival run; maybe they should be changed to something that outright states that enemies will be saved too? Maybe use the word "spare" instead of "save"?

What was this at 16:31 ?? Was that a bandit...getting killed?? Love the editing by the way. Its flashy but doesnt overstay its welcome

HAHA! Finally somebody has BSed Thracia 776 while making Thracia 776 unable to say that it BSes the player instead of the other way around. Oh, and they make a minimal deaths run, but I'm sure that's less important. Also good sign that we aren't seeing a certain scummy person involved in this video.

Oh hey, coming back 2 months after to say that there's now a hackrom made from thracia fans for thracia fans called "Fire emblem Thracia 776: Forseti edition" It makes a bunch of small changes with the intent of making the game feel more complete without removing what makes thracia so unique, one of those changes is making every horseback unit be counted as having 21 Con, soooo yeah! In a way you can now 100% do that in that version!

ENEMIES CAN USE THE SHOP?

I've never even heard of this

Is it possible to get to the units surrounding Bharat, capture them, and surround Bharat so that he can’t be reached, then capture the throne?

Damn, insane giga brain strats. Unfortunately the deathless/pacifist challenge is impossible but still really impressive that you could basically beat the game besides one chapter without killing anyone. Also does anyone know the list of songs used?

Hilarious how the mechanics of Thracia make things so that it's possible for Leif to commit the fewest warcrimes in Fire Emblem history, despite his army largely consisting of thugs, peasants, ex-war criminals, and rebel scum. What's Kaga trying to tell us, here?

With regards to berserked Gustav not moving in the English patch… When you were trying to get him to move, did you happen to have the hidden data option set on 2 or 3?

Seems hard but bet possible. Never play this series much so idk. This on pc right? Good video anyways.

ah yes UNDERTALE 776

Hold on... You were playing a translation patch this whole time, right? So wouldn't that mean the overall game is unchanged outside of a translated script? Cause if so, why does Gustav LEAVE his throne in the original Japanese version of the game, but not in any of the patches? That doesn't make any sense
