"Aaaaaaaaaaah" - Gonzales _(the only crit quote)_

Man one underappreciated animation was Eliwood base crit. The sword twinkle is so good. Also, the sniper crit animation is really clean for a twirl crit, it makes the pullback of the bow seem devastating. Sage and Wyvern Lord should be A but that's just because I love those classes.

The only reason they stuck Eliwood in C tier was because they watched his immediately after putting Lyn in A and before watching any of the lackluster standard classes. Oh and Hector got put higher because everyone loves Hector regardless of the fact that most of his crit animations are the most minor changes compared to his normal ones.

Amelia's crit is an "oh god the enemy's coming this spear is heavy!--oh... my... it landed in their eye socket."

In my opinion, the regular Berserker is my favourite one, it starts slow, but in just a blink the Berserker already has his axe on your head, it's basically says that you're dead before you even know it, and I think that's cool af, it may not be flashy, but it's a testament to how deadly Berserkers are.

It's so satisfying with Astra to watch mjolnir let an entire storm down on some poor enemy.

couple subtle things i really like that i feel should be considered. the way warrior catches hand ax and holds the pose like a boss makes there hand ax stand out IMO AND warrior spins the BOW, not the arrow like every other archer, Warrior has alot of subtle unique's to there crits. and on Merc, they flip in unison with the sword throw, the percision of the spinning character + spinning sword is sweet.

This is your first video that I watched, absolutely love your humor, you've earned yourself a subscriber.

From what I remember, for Monk and Bishop, the visual effect of the attack hitting the enemy is flashier. Same goes for valkyrie, it's not just "two frames". Comparing the standard and ceit animations back to back would have been a better way to do this, but it would've taken nearly twice as much time.

Almost for got how sleek the GBA animations are. It's such eye candy

Dev 1: “Bro, we have to show that Zephiel’s crazy OP in this game, we got the crit animation ready I’m so hyped” Dev 2: “ok but who’s gonna be his target?” Cecilia:

There were clashing opinions here... Great Knight was done injustice and even worse got slammed down to D Tier later, I thought it's menacing look would make it higher. Knight's javelin crit was overlooked, it felt like a tank shot. Druid was bribed to A (which I don't mind) That's all there is to it, other than that I agree to this tier list

EYOOO that Persona 1 bopping soundtrack

If Paladin ran off the screen like the promoted Fliers or neighed before charging it would've been an easy S tier though. If it did both it would've been S+ tier.

How Lyn's does not get an automatic S is beyond me. It's far above A for sure.
