To be fair, I guess, he did say "first to -start- without using swords". I haven't played most of these FE games so I'm not expert on the topic at all but at the very least I'm going by what was in the video, so I guess that's still possible to be off.

@@phantasmstg6125 he does tho. Like he starts with a steal sword and iron lance and on the very first chapter, gets a silver sword that youll basically exclusively use for the entire game. He's not a lance lord, he's a sword Lord that has the option to use a lance if you really want to

While it is true that Sigurd is definitely encouraged to use swords over lances, I think you're understating the value of his B lance rank--You receive the Brave Lance in Chapter 2, right when you start encountering enemies that actually don't just get effortlessly one-rounded by base Sigurd using the Silver Sword, and while the game is clearly encouraging you to keep it on Finn and finally have another unit start one-rounding people, the fact of the matter is that Sigurd is the strongest Brave Lance user in the generation and letting him use it to oneround even promoted armor units is a straight up strong strategy. If it weren't for the fact that Seliph won't be able to inherit it and use it to carry his poor base combat through the Chapter 6 grind, it would probably be one of his most widely used builds.

Huh, I didn’t know that, interesting!

@@NagapediaFE they also have dialogue together in a paralogue of their New Years alt in FEH but who the fuck cares about it?

Yeey, now we truly have one fact about every Lord!

And Eliwood! And he uses is right too. Roy is okay with it...

@@craigyeah1052 Does Eliwood start with one? Or can he use it? Because, if its the latter, then I would say that he's an exception for the sake of gameplay.

@@toumabyakuya yeah eliwood and roy both start with the rapier

@@craigyeah1052 Oh, okay.

I agree saying she wouldn’t be a Lord is premature on my part, but do we know for certain she was meant to be a Lord? Her role during development sounds too antagonistic for me to be a Lord. It reminds me of Byleth in Three Hopes and I wouldn’t consider them a Lord in that game

@@NagapediaFEhi gonna throw my two sense into this, CF was never supposed to actually be a route but they added it very late in development because they were told to do so

@@NagapediaFEto be fair, you said she wasn’t intended to be a house leader. That doesn’t mean she wasn’t intended to be a lord character, since Byleth is also not a house leader but IS a lord.

I agree with this sentiment, and will try to come up with a fact for each of them. *Xander, despite being known for being a nearly unstoppable unit in battle in terms of lore, is weaker when you fight him in chapter 26 of Birthright. This is because he wants to be killed after accidentally killing Elise. *Camilla is nearly swayed into believing Corrin during chapter 13 of Birthright (if memory serves), and is only kept from being convinced because of Leo's words. *Speaking of Leo, he is the only Nohrian royal to not have the wyvern rider line as part of his normal class set; he instead has to obtain it via an S support with Beruka. *Elise is the only royal that you are not forced to fight if you play the route she doesn't join, and she even accompanies the party for a few chapters, albeit not as a playable character. *Despite Ryoma being associated with lobsters due to the design of his armor, he's actually supposed to have a lion motif: his hair resembles a lion's mane, and the mask he wears, when given to another character as an accessory, is called a lion mask. *Hinoka was the last royal to be added to the game, and as such has less story significance than the other royals do. *Despite not having the class as part of his normal class set, Takami originally trained to be a samurai -- this is referenced in his supports with Hana, of whom was an old sparring partner of his (and it's partly implied that he gave up on swordmanship because she beat him badly after becoming Sakura's retainer), and Hinata's supports with Corrin bring this up as well, being Hinata's motivation to train with a sword. Additionally, Takami is the only character to have a unique model for a class that isn't a part of his normal class set, with his swordmaster model being based off of Sumeragi. *Sakura is the only royal to have a starting weapon rank of E, other than Corrin and Azura. This is likely because she's playable before the route split for more than one chapter, being the only royal from Hoshido or Nohr to have this distinction

It’s been a good while since I played FE4, so his portrayal in both Engage and Heroes definitely made me misremember. You’re completely right though!

@@NagapediaFE​​⁠​⁠But Sigurd has never used a lance in Heroes, and he’s almost always shown wielding Tyrfing in Engage.

Elincia absolutely is a lord. She's a major character through almost all of Path of Radiance, she has a unique class and game-over if she dies, and in Radiant Dawn, she gets a fresh new unique class and is the second tier 3 unit to be playable (the first being the Black Knight). She's even the protagonist for part 2, although the perspective does bounce around a little, so she's only playable for the prologue and endgame.

the first lord to only appear in late game

Dank je!

Kiran isn't a lord. Same as Robin, Mark, Kris...

I considered Kiran the same as Mark, but I did include Robin, so I understand lines are blurry there. I’d say Robin is more of a main character than those other two though

Huh, you might be right. I’ve always pronounced it as I do in the video, but come to think of it, the parakeet way makes sense

I mean, it's a japanese based word, I think it's fair pronouncing it as it's written, not as the english language would pronounce it.

She was the Jagen of SOV the whole time.

It's often overlooked, I wish it got more love. One of my favourite games ever made, hope to see a sequel someday with more FE canons other than just Archanea/Ylisse represented

Ike literally killed a goddess(of course he took help from yune but still), the strongest enemy Dimitri had to fight was Thales(which i doubt is even canon but even then not even close to a goddess level).

he did die in the main timeline
