HELLO VIEWER😁. This video was a very exhausting (but very fun) video to write and edit and gather footage for. And I really hope you enjoyed had fun and learned something new! I sure did. Did you learn anything new, or find something super fascinating? Let me know down below. And if you haven't subscribed yet but you've seen my videos in your recommended tab, DO THE DEEEEEEEED. Enjoy the week! Deuces.

I love TH, but Rhea being cut from Silver Snow is a crime.

Honestly I feel like Rhea should been playable, not only I would have made sense if they made a her the lord for Silver snow route. Personally I think that route would have been better if the Silver snow route was changed to be more about tackling the slivering in the dark people, then later having to fight the 10 elites in groups, finally having rematch with Nemesis. They could have made it like they captured Flayn instead.

part of me wants to believe that the unused girl character in the ashen wolves DLC might have been either an early concept for Shez, or is most likely Monica but she was cut from the DLC as it would not match the story.

The idea that they might have made a second Clive just to give him 1 point of res is hilarious.

fe games: we had to remove them. Fe fates: don't care. capture them and force them to fight.

My Headcanon of Nichol and Candance are that were supposed to be retrainers for Prince Leo and Princess Camilla instead Odin and Selena.

WHY IS WHY DID YOU NOT ALLOWED US TO PLAY AS RHEA IN 3 HOUSES?! EVERYTHING is already there, her weapons, her spell list, her stats and growths her unique class, her combat arts, the models (with 2 actually unlike other church members) at least as a New Game+ only character :/

I also find it interesting how in early versions of FE8 Amelia was gonna be Frelia's princess while Tana was gonna be a General (Explaining the pairing of the two in that FE Heroes Bound Hero Battle) Also wonder if Nichol & Candace were gonna be Garon's former retainers.

The Fernand in the Echoes DLC has a completely different set of voice lines to the unused Fernand.

In FE6 Gale's placement in the code indicates that he was originally intended to be playable. Beyond that I've always speculated that the knight's triangle attack in FE6 was a retooling of a wyvern rider triangle attack between Melady, Zeiss, and Gale; but there's no solid evidence for that.

Sothis isn't completely unused in three houses. If you scan an amiibo Byleth will gain the ability to use Sothis's shield. When used it plays out like a healing animation with Sothis appearing to grant Byleth the shield then disappearing again. (Even post time skip.) Her voice lines outside of her grunts still go unused though.

Would not have guessed Count Galatea would have a character slot in three houses, learned a lot from this video

Ghast: consistently making the most interesting Fire Emblem content. Keep grinding man! We appreciate you!

In a way, all Fire Emblem characters before awakening are being cut from the franchise if you think about it

Berkut is my favourite FE character, having him be playable would’ve been a literal dream, but his story in echoes is also wonderful and perfect, and it wouldn’t play out if he was recruited

F for Fates' Matheus. Dude is the literal definition of cut character as he was removed entirely from Fates' script when IS did their thing with it. Also Count Galatea's situation is so weird in Three Hopes. Even though the dude is still nowhere to be seen like in 3Hs, the game bothered to give the guy an actual name now: Gunnar.

So, theory time: Given where the name is placed, it might be possible that Bella might have been the name they would have given Robin's mom. It's between Validar so you have that and given how Macedon would go on to be part of Plegia we can two possible options for why the Minerva is the other name the name Bella is in between. Option A is that she is from the area that used to be Macedon before the Schism which possibly leads to one of the characters mentioning the hero Minerva or Option B is that she might have possibly been a descendant of Minerva or was a Wyvern Rider described to have skilled matched by Minerva. This would also give credence as to why Future Past Female Morgan is a Wyvern Lord. You have Male Morgan as a Sorcerer but then you have Female Morgan as a Wyvern Lord using Hauteclere. At first glance this is really weird class for Female Morgan to be given Robin's whole thing with magic and tactics. Male Morgan is in an appropriate class but Female Morgan isn't unless the imagery is suppose to be Male Morgan being the class that his grandfather was while Female Morgan took the class that her grandmother had but also possible her ancestor had. On top of all this, Future Past is a world where the Future Children never went back in time because they managed to gather all the gemstones and the Fire Emblem in their world meaning this would be a world where Robin still had their memories (Unless I.S. wants to say the Robin of Lucina's Timeline/the Future Past Timeline also conveniently got amnesia and lost all their memories). This Robin would have memories of their mother and it's possible that it's because of this that caused the two Morgans to be given the class they get from Grima. Then again no idea how the coding for these games works and, unless they have a specific wording for Cherche's Wyvern, the naming of Minerva could just be a reference to the wyvern rather than the actual person.

If William is to follow the assumed "FE6 bosses are named after pro-wrestlers" pattern, he's likely named after William Regal. Much like the other wrestlers referenced, he worked with New Japan Pro-Wrestling for a time. Also Nichol content. Very nice. And thank you for bringing attention to Fates Matheus. A shame that they cut half of the Cheve representation like that.

As the local Galle fan, Galle was definitely intended to be playable. He is the only main story character who is not recruitable that has an affinity. Guinevere, Hector, and Eliwood all have affinities as well, but they lack the next crucial thing Galle has--a unique growth set. The former three have generic enemy growths, whilst Galle doesn't. Galle also has unique AI. His AI can be summed up as. 1. If Roy is rescued, attack/do whatever. 2. If Roy is not rescued, attack/approach Roy. Finally, Galle's internal ID is placed smack dab in the midst of every other playable character.

genuinely crying that candace could've had a bigger role in fates, she's my favorite capturable unit. intsys should port fates to the switch and make her a full character

Nichol actually has quite a few voice lines, there's a video of them up. hes also got a line you can hear in game, if he's to fall in battle he'll say "it was inevitable"

Glad they made Jeralt, Rhea, and Sothis playable in Three Hopes :)

I still wish that we could have gotten Sothis as a playable character in Three Houses. Would have been so cool :)

Hey, I was the one who put the Shizas image on TCRF, too many sources said it was impossible to load him, but it's easily done. Also, there's a case for ALL enemies being "cut" playable units, as SoV has all enemies in the data in the same file as players. Weird stuff at play.

It's also worth noting that fe64 actually used a bunch of names that were later used for fe6 & 9 but there were still a few unused names. or so I've heard, you can read about it on the wiki somewhere also with regards to spinoffs, barry maiko & tiki were intended to be playable in TMS, but were cut due to time, tiki & barry were relegated to encore attacks. (all three also got extra session attacks in the switch version which remedies this, maiko even uses her dancer outfit that she was intended to wear as her first game carnage form.) Then Roy & Ike were thought to be put into warriors 1 at some point but they decided to save them for the sequel. not sure if there were any other unused characters there, but I'm sure darios was intended at some point

That mystery girl from three houses. Still is quite haunting to me for some reason.

I just wish that it was possible to save Scarlet in Revelations

I still have a document that tells you how to unlock characters in PoR for the extra maps that say you can unlock Greil by beating the game 20 times on the hardest mode with no deaths hilarious.

In regards to Awakening I have come up with several theories. The file with the cut characters is a list of all the characters with dialogue which is why even ruffian is included on the list. To begin with, Libra doesn't appear on the list and Tharja, Nowi and Gregor are also in the incorrect on this list unlike every other character perhaps implying chapters 11 and 12 were the last to be finalised and also that Leopold was perhaps an early name for Libra. Andrea could have been an early name for Phila as she is the only significant character to not get a spotpass chapter despite having completed critical cut-ins. As for Bella and Minerva they are both located on the "miscellaneous" section list along with "Ruffian" which implies to me that these mounts were only on the list because the occasional mount dialogue featured in support conversations as with a majority of Cherche and Gerome's supports. Tracie is the only character I have no explanation for and is most likely simply cut.

I definitely had some experience with the Sacred Stones prototypes. Although I still don't think this counts as a cut character, since I think this was likely just a placeholder name, you might have noticed all the generic bosses in this prototype all have the name Ibiru (イビル), which using Japanese Katakana, literally translates as "evil". Ah yes, every boss is evil. That much makes a lot of sense.

Golly if only there was an FE5 romhack in development that brought back most of its unused content... Wouldn't that be cool....

shout outs to neptune the completely scrapped fe 1 water dragon boss whose referenced in the valentian accordion and dagons

Ghast, Speeding and Excelblem are the 3 pillars holding up FE KZfaq for me. Always fun, interesting or both

I'll never forgive them for cutting Hamburg.

This is an amazing video that made me realize how many were cut! Interesting

I just noticed FEH used Sothis' unused crit quotes for her special quotes.

I really like these types of videos, probably the most unique ones were the Fates capturable bosses, because it (Maybe) implies there were plans to make them real characters that you had to capture instead of glorified generic units

So sad Fedor never made it into Three Houses. As a Portuguese speaker, his name sounds epic Fedor = stink in Portuguese

I really enjoy your content. I would also really like to see you pick up the plot review (this is what happens in FE...) videos again, especially for Three Houses or my personal favorites, the Tellius games, but whichever way you go I'm sure it'll be great.

FE4 has a few unused boss portraits, though they are not tied to any characters.

Funny how this was uploaded right after I finished watching castle conversations part 2

i wouldnt complain if you made a video about the sacred stones versions, that was my first one and i really care about that one

A playable rhea would have fixed so many things about fe3h. The other 3 routes get the lords who are broken units with broken battalions and broken personnel weapons while silver snow gets... Seteth, who is available on two of the other routes, doesn't get a battalion, and doesn't get a relic/sacred weapon for part 2. Playable rhea would have also helped differentiate the plot of silver snow from verdant wind and explain why you don't fight nemesis but rhea in the final chapter. Would have been interesting to see a radicalized and unhinged rhea come to terms with her actions and her negative effects on fodlan while coming to terms with what's best for fodlan's future.

Fire emblem lost treasures

Is the Gaiden Forsyth they mentioned the same Forsyth that is playable in Echoes? If so that's so cool that they made him a real character in the remake

I'm wondering if this unknown student character in 3 houses may have been Poe from Cipher 0? or Shez, maybe, planned for an integration in the base game too? But I feel like both of those options don't really make much sense, as the code must have been there before they'd plan anything like that, but at the same time the code did get updates, so maybe they kept working on this but cancelled because they thought it wouldn't be necessary, idk. I think Shez with a crest of flames would be weird, but maybe another that would have been common to FE3H and FEW3H's DLC, maybe? but again, the code is probably way older than the pre production of the musou spinoff.

I've poured over FE wikis and TCRF a lot but I never knew about Count Galatea in Three Houses, as well as that giant list of names in Three Houses, that's odd. They put a lot of effort into the world of Three Houses so I imagine most or all of those names belonged to characters they had at least some idea about at some point, but perhaps they were also just unused alternate names for secondary, minor or even major characters that got passed over in favor of other options. This is a solid compilation of information, good stuff. As a huge fan of the Marth games I'm really curious as to why they omitted Gotoh in New Mystery, as well as what the deal with Sabre might've been.

I love that grails default animation is Gmod crowbar lol

I love Rhea

Everybody gangsta til Schumacher shows up in Crimson Flower 🥶🥵😵‍💫😨

I just love every kind of cut content in fire emblem, even though I've done multiple researches on the topic, I hope there's something I don't know here. Forgot to write this, edit: I actually discovered something new here, I didn't know of fake Clive for example.

It seems like all of Sothis's lines are also her Special quotes in Heroes.

On the topic of Nichol and Candace, I've always felt that Capture was such a missed opportunity in Fates. There's potential to expand your army in each game by capturing playable characters from the other routes, but with all the interpersonal connections at play, I could see that being difficult. Maybe 3H could have had something similar post-timeskip?

Andrea is interesting since Robin's European name (Daraen) is an anagram of, well, Andrea

I’d have loved to see what the Radiance Heather would have been, especially since they would have been so different from the one I know

I can't believe we were robbed of a character named Hamburg :(

Pretty cool to learn that they put a cut character into the remaster with Forsyth

it's a shame that some of them weren't recruitable

isn't some of these the names of those weapons. The statue creatures that the rhea has which I think one was named mary.

3:19 I actually thought you said fucked and I had to play the last ten seconds again. Then I realized you said fought

I think you missed the prototype Red Kyle and readjusted/Beta Forde, as well as Lute, Neimi, Ewan, Tethys, Tana, Eirika, Ephraim and Seth for Sacred Stones. If the above, Kyle's is notable because he changes drastically and looks nothing like his final iteration. Maybe it's because that iteration is supposed to be Nate and not Kyle like it's been assumed? Edit: Neimi is also kind of notable because she's using Tethys's colors and clothes. I think she was slated to be the dancer of FE8 originally. I only mention a few of these in detail simply because a few of these initial designs implied a completely different intended end result than what we got.

ERIKAS OLD ANIMATION IN FE8 WAS SO GOOD

6:30 Those animation looks great.

I forgot where I heard it but three houses had a second generation planned before they scrapped it. Maybe those are the names between the playables and major NPCs

You forgot to mention that Forsyth is playable in Echoes, Gaiden's Remake. I was hoping you'd mention that. I had no idea he was unused in Gaiden.

So sothis' quotes ended up being used in heroes thats cool

15:33 Those quotes are use in Fire Emblem Heroes.

A different sword cav named Heather? I can only imagine she'd be 1000 times better then the sword cav we got

Sanaki Black might be a evil version of the original cause it's a common naming convention in Japan And for Berkut I think it's said somewhere that he was meant to be recruitable but that was changed because they didn't want to recruit every villain. And I can see them putting Fernand out as a guest temporary unit during one of the chapters before he defects.

Babe, wake up! New Fearghast video!

The crest of flames chick from three houses I’m so curious about her

Terminology: • “Unused” refers to characters who can only be found in the game’s data. • “Cut” refers to characters who are absent from the final retail product of their game. • “Relegated” refers to characters who have internal information implying that they were intended to be playable at some point in the game, but are only used as NPCs or as enemies. • “Dummied” refers to unique name strings only found in the game’s data.

Where’s Anthony from fates. He has a human for with stats and character description (a stranger to war). Also ghost Azura too. She even has lines in the castle.

From what I know sophisticated is actually not unused, there is an item called shield of sophis and when using this sophis casts a spell on everyone and from what I know that's why spohis has character data so she can show up there and the voiceless are just a fail safe

Doesn't Phila have critical quotes in Awakening and Lilith in Awakening?

4:14 *WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY!?!*

wish echoes made the amiboo characters like fates. awakening pre amiboo was good having special class lodestar Marth. then fates was the closest to perfection with actually having 4 popular characters as well as giving Marth and Ike new styles for current games. then echoes went completely backwards making it pointless to use the amiboo as they are set to default and can't even be raised. I would have loved a playthrough of robin lucina Marth Ike corrin twins Roy to fight the enemies.

Huh, useless trivia but Rhea has Makoto and Sothis has Morgana voice actors from Persona 5 and both FE characters ended up unplayable

I like that beta Erika animation.

There are not unused but very rare death quotes for characters if you beat the game after a certain number of times Cana's and Hawkeyes quotes mention Niime and Igrene though Hawkeye calls Igrene his sister.

17:20 There is Helda but IS put in Hilda instead.

Uther would be cool to have in FEH

Wish we could have recruited Galle.

I noticed BSFE wasn't mentioned. Was there nothing cut in that of note?

6:00 That is a phone.

echoes wish berkut was playable as his voice lines just sound like he is dissing alm and his leadership skills. Fernand no thanks I rather have genetic paladin guy from the dlc than him. Fe fates the capture system was a nice way of still letting the already made characters be playable in some way same as the hidden class lancer when you capture an enemy soldier. it makes it feel special when you raise one to the max guess it's lucky feh exists to give npc units spotlight or enemy units playability

18:35 you are 700 subscribers away.

Crimson Flower has Jeritza. Azure Moon has Gilbert. Silver Snow should have had Rhea. Verdant Wind should have had Judith.

Would have been so cool to have Berkut and Fernand playable, whether by some late game missable bonus unlock (i.e. you have to fulfill certain conditions to save them) or a NG+ bonus (perhaps they simply don't die on NG+).

Lol so the devs working on sacred stones saw demo eirika and were like "how can we make this as boring and generic as possible"

4:17 Did he said a inappropriate word.
