Fire Emblem GBA Series: Critical Hit Collection

Thanks to Pheonixmaster1 for the thumbnail!

As the disclaimer in the beginning says, please watch in a resolution that allows 60fps!
Otherwise you might miss some frames in some fast animations!

I truly cannot believe it.
It's finally done.

I poured my heart and soul into this.
I started this project way back in 2008 or 2009 I believe.
Yes it's been that long.
I wanted to remake this video because of how cringey my old video was.
(I think someone even reuploaded it and I don't like it lol)

I spent a lot of time crafting a scene around each clip through ROM and RAM hacking.
I timed the music so that it just felt right.

Some remenants of previous iterations that got scrapped might show through (like a ROM hacked battle frame for Hector).
But I really just didn't want to redo previous portions of the video as the music transition was already synced to certain clips.

I removed custom animations and most reference to ROM hacks unless they were really early in the video or would screw up some other clip/music timing.
If it has a custom battle frame, it's ROM hack footage.

Thank you for being on this decade+ long journey.
I hope you Fire Emblem fans enjoy.

Beta Animations included:
・Eliwood Durandal Beta 206 (Short Durandal)
・Eliwood Durandal Beta 219 (Long Durandal)
・Lyn Durandal
・Eirika
・Revenant
・Bonewalker

Note: Some sound effects have been fixed through video editing (some stuff is silent or breaks BGM)
That includes:
・FE6 Female Sage (FE6 didn't have sound for the crit. It was added in FE7.)
・FE6 Female Druid (Same as Female Sage)
・Promoted Eirika (unmounted)
・Revenant
・Bonewalker

Some items were also modified to have different ranges to showcase sword animations.
Such as Audhulma and Maltet to have ranged Ice Spell (Fimbulvetr) animations thematic to their item lore description about being ice legendary weapons.

Some animatons had to be modified:
・Promoted Eirika (Her crit used the normal hit effect, but worked properly)
・Sword General Ranged (No weapon glow)
・Sword Great Knight Ranged (No weapon glow)

Fully unique animations in FE7 for alternative classes are included.
...that being Hawkeye.
I tried to include some like Lloyd or Nino... but at some point I decided it wasn't worth showcasing something like two extra thief and assassin animations for something like Legault's hair or Linus's slightly changed hero sprite.
