Current Events > But real talk, Fire Emblem 3 Houses is a great game >_>

(+) Yeah! (+)

I kinda just bought it on a whim but I'm glad I did. I'm having a blast with this game! And they took out that dumb baby shit from the last 2 games!

If you like SRPGs, get this game! It's well worth it

It's real good.
---

I've been listening to the battle theme for ages. It's so good. Perfect fit for the best FE game out now.
---

Is it actually difficult or just "try the same strategy a dozen times till luck makes it work"?
Other than the story what else we got? We had Palace of the Dead in Tactics Ogre which is gonna be hard to top

More like Fire Emblem 3/10

It's very easy, at least on normal mode. If you're praying to the RNG gods, it's because you screwed up.

@Antifar I recall you posting a lot about Assassin's Creed Odyssey before it came out. Did you end up liking it?

I put like 100 hours into it, lol. Really enjoyed it.

Cool. I loved that game and based on what I've seen I'd like this game too. Especially since people with similar tastes seem to love it.

I'm playing on normal and it is kinda easy so far >_> I'm gonna do hard on another playthrough and see how that goes

There's a bump in difficulty around Chapter 12 or so, but it's still not too much trouble even after that.

Are the difficulty options "normal" "hard" and "lunatic?" that's been the scheme since Awakening.

And normal = easy :\

You're no longer pairing off characters who will have children together.

It's like the old games where you can only pair off certain people and no one fucks until after the story ends

Is the weapon triangle AND magic triangle still a thing? I know they were slowly removing this. I think the last game didnt have a magic triangle. I also think the last games triangles didnt really give strong advantages/disadvantages like other games
---

As far as I can tell, the weapon and magic triangles are completely gone. They only differences between weapons now are durability, hit rate, weight, and damage

Thats stupid! Where is the strategy?! Just how you place your troops?!

i'm really enjoying it and yes, it is really easy

i just recruited catherine and she's totally bangable
making a run at getting manuela on my team

Hard mode is slightly more challenging. The difficulty comes from the sheer number of enemy units on later maps. Its still easy but you have to pay attention to what youre doing. The paralogues are probably the hardest part of the game for me.

Weapon triangle is still there but its been dumbed down massively. Strategy comes from knowing when to go on the offensive or stay defensive. You also usually have around 10 units per map compared to the almost 30 enemy units at times so you have to determine who to split up effectively.

Its not a ton of strategy but thankfully, its not mindless.

Is it like FFT?

That feels dumbed down across the board. Thats just annoying. Ill probably still play it but still

Lunatic mode should be coming soon so I hope it's balanced well and difficult. I love the game but my biggest complaint is that it feels too easy even on Hard mode. I only restarted a map once but that paralogue felt like BS.

One addendum to this that if you get your swords/axes/lances skill to B or B+ you can get an ability that will improve your hit/avoid against the weapon type according to the triangle. So sword users can gain an advantage over axes, etc.

Additionally, it's possible for mages to gain an ability that gives them that advantage over bow users, and brawlers over magic users.

I'd also add that the addition of combat arts and gambits adds a bit of complexity where some might have been taken out with the weapons triangle.

I still haven't used gambits that much >_> I keep forgetting I have them
