Off the Deep End Episode 70: Fire Emblem Genealogy of the Holy War

Mar 5th, 2026 2:14 AM

With Borgmaster on assignment, it's up to Braden and Chris to discuss the fourth game in the Fire Emblem series, in a way that only two FE old heads with a lot of baggage are able to. You'll learn far more than you ever wanted to about Genealogy's mechanics, character pairing, story, and map size, with an added dose of random series gripes and deeply specific things that only people who've played too many of these games notice. You're welcome! We're not sorry!
