Fire Emblem Cipher Crits: Genealogy of the Holy War

Project Overview


FIRE EMBLEM CIPHER CRITS
GENEALOGY OF THE HOLY WAR - GENERATION I


This is the casting call for our FOURTH Cipher Crits video! The Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War anniversary is in May and just like the previous tribute videos Eecaruz and I made, this one will be created in celebration of that. We will be featuring the characters seen in generation 1 of the game. These critical lines are original and written by us exclusively for this project, with some quotes referencing canon dialogue. The video will be presented in a compilation format along with game footage and cut-in artwork from the Fire Emblem Cipher (TCG) series. The finished product will look and be presented in a similar way to how critical quotes are done in the 3DS Fire Emblem games. The video will be uploaded to YouTube on Fishy Emblem.


You can find our previous Cipher Crits videos here!

AUDITION INFORMATION
Please keep in mind that some character descriptions and lines contain spoilers!

Example of boss dialogue & Example of critical lines

▪ This is a non-paid, non-profit fan project created to celebrate the anniversary of FE4. Most characters will only have FOUR critical hit lines. Some more major characters will have boss dialogue as well.

▪ Audition lines are formatted where boss dialogue is to be read first should the character have it, followed by the four critical hit lines.

▪ Critical hit lines are like special attacks, meant to be delivered in a smug, condescending way, and/or shouted! Boss battles generally portray a scene where the character is facing a powerful adversary, exacting vengeance or fighting a loved one under dire circumstances. 

▪ Have reasonable audio -- no puffing, pops, or echoes! Minimal background noise is preferred. The audio will be edited and amplified to stand out from the music, so any imperfections in audio quality can become very apparent.

▪ Referencing the voice actors of Fire Emblem Heroes is NOT required. We’re absolutely open to, and would prefer, any original interpretations that reflect the personality of the character!

▪ Multiple takes of the critical hit lines are recommended -- for most characters, additional dialogue outside of the crit quotes are not needed so we often use the audition take in the final product. 

▪ Please have Discord! Should redos be necessary -- whether it be due to pronunciation, delivery, audio quality, etc -- instructions will be sent over Discord, after which actors will have a week to re-record.

▪ Since all voices will appear in the same video in quick succession, our goal is to avoid casting the same actors for more than one character. You are, however, allowed and encouraged to audition for as many roles as you're interested in!

▪ Deadline for auditions is April 20, 2020 - 11PM CST. No role will be cast before the deadline.

The final video is expected to release on May 14th, 2020. All the lines, footage, artwork and any additional assets will be fully prepared so production will begin immediately after casting! If there are any questions, please feel free to message me, Eecaruz or leave a comment on this page!

Role assigned to: PeeJ

The lord of Chalphy. An honorable man, Sigurd is well-loved by the vast majority of his subjects and inhabitants of the Jugdral continent. Sigurd fundamentally means well and legitimately wishes to help people, but is reckless and short-sighted.

Voice: Medium to low | Noble, passionate, righteous

In this boss scene, Sigurd faces his lifelong friend in combat, not out of spite, but because of their knightly obligations to two warring countries. He tries desperately to make peace with Eldigan before their battle.

Role assigned to: patmseymourva

The duke of Velthomer. Arvis is said to possess the "gift of Kings", a talent and toughness that he had even as a child.

Voice: Medium to low | Dignified, pragmatic, cunning

In this boss scene, Arvis is holding an elaborate ceremony to greet Sigurd. This is a disguise to hide Arvis's true intentions.

  • (Boss dialogue) "Sigurd of Chalphy, I hereby sentence you to death for your crimes of treason. His Majesty will not be seeing you, today or ever."
