FE sis and bros, are you ready for the next wild ride? I could put another 60 hours into Three Houses by playing the routes I didn't see but fuck it I'm ready for the next thing. I think this will be a good game. Certainly looks prettier even if the MC has a...loud design

I wasn't hyped at all for 3 Houses and loved it.

Actually, Three Houses flew under my radar until it was already out and I've played like half the series

So I'm ambivalent towards this. I'll play it but I'm going in fairly blind and no expectations beyond "more fire Emblem yo"

I don't like any of the designs outside of the Kingdom of Brodia and even then I find the art direction toward face designs off-putting. Also not loving all the non-SRPG gameplay. Which I hope is at least reduced from 3H monastery.

That said, it's still Fire Emblem, it's still a day one purchase for me, even if it's the least hyped I've been for a release since Shadow Dragon.

It would be interesting if instead of the MC being just 1 person of which you choose the gender.....

It is set as fact that they both exist. Maybe brother and sister. The one you don't play as, could be your enemy you have to kill in the final battle. Imagine being forced to slay your twin sibling as the games climax

Right now I'm just happy that the Lord doesn't seem to be a customizable audience stand in, and has an actual distinct, fully-voiced personality. Is the character design terrible, absolutely. But I'll take everything else if it keeps us from getting another Byleth.

Fuck Byleth. Terrible "character". The only worse Fire Emblem character is Corrin and that's only because having no character is better than being Corrin.

Byleth is far closer to Corrin than Robin. Robin might be overly customizable and broken, but they are still an actual fixed character that doesn't suck, isn't relentlessly praised by everyone and isn't even the main character of the game.

I would prefer the game not become any more like Genshin Impact than it already has.

Anyways, I like Byleth much more than Corrin, from a story perspective at least. Corrin practically just meanders aimlessly as the grand chosen one while other people push and pull them along the plot. They're honestly a decent example of all the flaws with a customizable unit, and they weren't done any favors by the game's shit writing.

Byleth is given a good reason for their stoicism, and the bonds you forge actually makes sense given the school setting. It's at least more interesting and wholesome than fate's face petting game. It's kind of cool how everyone treats you as this mysterious, creepy wall of murder until you slowly earn their trust and begin learning to open up yourself. Corrin just gets three different flavors of Incest.

I do like Corrin's design the best of the three though. Robin was Allright, and Byleth I got used to, but Corrin works well for me.

Unfortunately Engage has not shown me anything I'm interested in so far. Unless it reviews well I likely will be skipping it.

Getting the Engage Divine Edition Day 1, but the designs for most of the characters in this game are bad, and for some it isn't just the way they look in 3D. Definitely going with fem Alear because some of the details on male Alear's costume make him look like more of a mess, even though I heard you can somewhat change character appearance. Am mostly looking forward to the seemingly classic FE gameplay and interactions and references between the classic FE characters, "Emblems", and the new cast.

The character designs on the whole are drawn more neotenous than I remember them being from previous FE games. If you like the more generic moe stylings that you see in your average harem anime you'll probably find most of the characters attractive. Personally, that's part of the reason I'm not interested in the game. It looks more like a generic anime mobile game wearing the skin of a strategy game more than it looks like a strategy game that just happens to use anime aesthetics.

And then there's the weird Jojo Stands mechanic, I dunno. Nothing about this grabs at me.

I don't even give a shit about Emblem rings as DLC. (Honestly the nostalgia-wank that is the Emblem rings does nothing for me) but making the Silver Card DLC is straight bullshit. Like that's always been item you obtain through gameplay and is one of the best rewards in the game. Making it DLC is absolutely pay2win bullshit.

This and Hades II are the only games i'm excited for in 2023.

I played 3H a few months ago in anticipation - close to 500 total hours on that game.

I'm ready. My body is ready.

You could individually buy maps in Awakening and Fates so if you didn't want grinding maps, you could skip them but also get DLC you did want.

Engage has an "all or nothing" season pass style DLC. You literally can't pick and choose what you want. You have to get the full pass even if you don't even know what it will entail.

And the Silver Card has always been an in-game reward. Which means you didn't have to pay for it and the developers could balance around it and the players had to strategize around it.

I mean I had my complaints about the Awakening designs too, especially Awakening's armored designs. Fates were generally an improvement outside of the sheer amount of battle panties.

Three Houses had design philosophies closer to the pre-Awakening games, factor in the excellent designs from Echos and it felt like the series was normalizing itself.

So Engage's designs are a really stark contrast. They are operating under a completely different design philosophy more in-line with high-fantasy anime than anything the series had messed with before. The Kingdom of Brodia seems to be the exception here where most of the designs are more like classic Fire Emblem designs. I mean Citrine is basically Nanna.

This game is a main entry. It's supposed to be treated as a celebration of the entire history of Fire Emblem. They are celebrating I think the 30th anniversary of the first game.

This is why characters from every game ever, are showing up in this
