papercup 03/22/24 12:12:02 PM #1:	Ive been a Fire Emblem fan ever since 7 released in the west, played almost all of them since then. Last one I played was Fates, which I found an extremely off putting game. From the weird, nonsensical story, overly sexualized characters, weird relationship mechanics, strangely dark and glossed over themes, poor map design, etc etc. I just didnt even bother after that. Awakening also had some of these problems, but that was just a more overall enjoyable game. Fates just took these problems to a level that killed my interest in the series for a long time. So are the switch games better, and actually emphasize strategy, or are they still designed for thirsty weebs first and foremost? --- Nintendo Network ID: papercups 3DS FC: 4124 5916 9925 <cite>papercup posted [p:979505206] in How are FE...

ReturnOfFa 03/22/24 12:50:32 PM #3:	You probably won't enjoy them based on your observations. I couldn't endure playing Three Houses because I don't care about all the school crap. I like the Support Conversations in older games but like...I don't play FE to walk around finding people to talk to. I'm passively enjoying Engage for the gameplay. It ditched all the school crap which I'm happy for, but the storyline is completely absurd and the characters are basically weeb avatars that don't seem realistic whatsoever. I mean, I know that characters had anime coloured hair in the GBA ones but at least they seemed like a squad of warriors... so if you can set aside all the goofy shit Engage is enjoyable for the gameplay. at least for me. honestly the graphics are very good but all the characters are absurd. --- girls like my fa <cite>ReturnOfFa posted [p:979505909] in How are FE...

CyborgSage00x0 03/22/24 6:26:22 PM #6:	Hard to say, especially if you were kinda meh about Awakening. The series could a hard evolutionary turn from then on out, so any resembling FE7 or FE8 is long-since dead and not coming back. They both have a similar "hub" mechanic that functions like X-Com (that series itself which functions a lot like FE) in between battles/missions, with Three Houses being the school/monastery, and Engage being it's own castle town thing. General agreement is TH has the much better story (with 3 different stories (well, technically 4) in one game that branch out, giving it good replayability), and good combat/mechanics, while Engage has a very generic story with few surprises, but the Engage battle mechanic puts a wildly different spin on the combat (and ditches the min-army mechanic thing from TH that no one liked). I.e., both are really well liked for their own reasons, but TH is generally considered the stronger entry. Be warned, the hub mechanics are a pretty big element of the game, and they do tend to drag on (although you can ignore and skip past the stuff that shouldn't ignore). --- PotD's resident Film Expert. <cite>CyborgSage00x0 posted [p:979511165] in How are FE...

agesboy 03/22/24 8:07:04 PM #8:	three houses is a very, very different kind of FE game. everyone can become anything, the weapon triangle basically doesn't matter, and there's tons of downtime between battles to tweak your army. for a lot of people, way too much time. the story starts out intriguing but completely loses steam by the halfway point. engage feels like a return to form pre-fates, character designs are wacky and the story is boring. but DAMN the gameplay is fire. battle animations are cool too- characters' attack strings will actually upgrade (visually) within their own class as they level up three hopes is a fun badass musou game, 10/10 i love shez. the story compounds on what you know from three houses pretty heavily even though you're starting from around the same point, though. the previous main character is your new main character's personal lu bu. it's amazing and it has a demo. --- https://imgur.com/LabbRyN raytan and Kana are on opposite ends of the Awesome Spectrum. <cite>agesboy posted [p:979512478] in How are FE...

SpeedDemon20 03/22/24 8:50:00 PM #9:	Awakening kinda influenced every game afterwards, so characters have like one gimmick and that's their entire personality. In terms of gameplay, 3H, you don't really recruit units like you do in regular games. You should plan to have a core of units and use them for the whole game. Engage is very similar to Awakening. It has the same leveling system with second seals and a world map with extra maps for grinding. You still want a set of core units because the extra maps scale with you, so once a unit gets left behind, it's very hard to catch up. 3H also has NG+ and you can buy skills and combat arts you've mastered before. Both games have the monastery stuff you do after a battle, kinda like Fates, but so much worse. I didn't like it I'm 3H and then Engage makes it worse. In Engage, they give stat bonuses, so you should probably do it, but it's so tedious. Between the two, I would recommend 3H. --- http://orig14.deviantart.net/59f8/f/2009/047/4/9/rylai_crestfall_by_eyue.jpg Crystal Maiden... gal could break your heart in a thousand pieces. -Rucks <cite>SpeedDemon20 posted [p:979513150] in How are FE...

SpeedDemon20 03/22/24 11:09:10 PM #12:	agesboy posted... you can outright ignore the base 95% of the time That's exactly what I do, in both games. Alfred wants you to do squats for some stats and you can cook for stats. But if you're gonna cook, you have to collect materials for it too, which are scattered around the map or you have to play a mini game for it. I don't feel that was as big an issue in 3H because a lot of the activities were useless and you can outright skip them, as long as you're maxing out your students' happiness. I'd rather not have any monastery stuff. It puts too long of a pause on the game and story. --- http://orig14.deviantart.net/59f8/f/2009/047/4/9/rylai_crestfall_by_eyue.jpg Crystal Maiden... gal could break your heart in a thousand pieces. -Rucks <cite>SpeedDemon20 posted [p:979515205] in How are FE...

So in the end, everybody can wind up as an enemy to everyone else. And most of the conflict could be solved in about 15 minutes if everyone would just sit down and talk about things. But everyone's the hero of their own story - and you really only start seeing the ways in which they're wrong is if you play the other paths as well.Though it's been pointed out that the color scheme itself can influence the perceptions of people who've played Fire Emblem games for a long time - the Kingdom is blue (the traditional color of the player's units), the Church is green (allied units), the Alliance is yellow (neutral units), and the Empire is red (enemy units). So more experienced players may be influenced into thinking Dmitri's path is the "good" one, the Church is your ally, the Alliance is mostly a distraction, and the Empire is the true enemy.But as has been said, Edelgard is obviously the real hero of the game.

From what I've picked up from Fire Emblem fans by osmosis, apparently Three Houses is one of the best in the franchise while Engage kind of sucks.

I hated the lack of a clear villain, and how they had to put TwSitSh to fit it...but ultimately those guys had NO role in the story. Three Hopes is pretty much the same, though depending on the path TwSitS are much more significant villains and you can oppose them more directly. The closest thing Hopes has to a clear villain is Byleth - and you can even subvert that if you choose to give up your quest for vengeance and refuse to kill them. Hopes has a more ambiguous ending, though. The war doesn't actually end, and it's implied things are going to keep happening even after the game ends. And your main character arguably has less influence on the lords you can side with (though it also avoids the time skip, so they also don't have some of the dramatic changes they go through in Houses). --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:979527156] in How are FE...
