    Wish they'd make some mappainting gaem(something like sengoku rance but with fe battles) instead of going full on gacha vtuber shit

      Battles need to be quick and snappy if you're doing map painting. If someone invaded the same province over and over again and you had to do the same long FE battle over and over again, it'd probably get pretty tedious. I think the games work the best with well made missions.

        Yet people enjoy total war map painting just fine
        You're doing 100+ missions anyway might as well paint the map along with it

          One of the biggest complaints is having to do the same settlement battles over and over again and people repeatedly auto resolve battles after a certain point in their campaigns, sometimes taking losses they shouldn't just because they can't be bothered.

            Add some sort of improved autoresolve, keep "manual" only for decisive battles (to not trigger autistic minmaxers)
            Better than just doing the same old "missions" with endless cringe drama bloat in-between them

              But I like cringe anime drama in my tactics games. I'm sure you could make your idea work though, if you know what you're doing you can make most video game ideas work.

                I played some of the older FE games, then later I played FE:Awakening and Sengoku Rance.
                FE:Awakening's not everyone cup of tea. The plot's stakes feel less relevant because you get at least a dozen or so paralogues (extra battles to get extra characters) and repeatable skirmishes. Plus the bonus maps that you can grind for loot/special items for class changes.
                The point is that a plot's stakes die down once you add replayability and tone down the sense of urgency that was in older FE. You jump between battles with some downtime to use class change items, share weapons/vulneraries between the lucky few that will fight the next battle, and go onwards.
                Either you write a plot that allows you to experiment with "more battles" and "map painting", or you add map painting as a window dressing (your army's progress is shown on a map after each battle, to give you a sense of scale and geographical position).
                I do have an idea on how to give a sense of urgency while also giving you more options, characters and battles, and also "paint the map the color of your country" in such a way that works with FE, and I might write about it here once I get home.

            And?
            Just because they produce stale shit year after year doesn't mean people didn't like any of their games before
            I don't like any of their games and just used it as an example anyway

      Is it actually better than the reboot? Ive only played one from the late 90s and the reboots

        Modded OpenXcom is absolutely better than XCOM, but actual X-COM is... well I suppose it could be better if it resonates with you well enough.

        Much better than the mobashit they turned the series into. The reboots are a joke.

        Despite being similar in concept, the reboots are just different in scope and goal. If you haven't played the og before, I would try xenonauts instead, as it's basically a modern UI for the original.

    I got super into the series during the pandemic. I beat Genealogy, binding blade, blazing blade, sacred stones, path of radiance, shadow dragon, new mystery, awakening, conquest, shadow of valentia, and 3 houses. within the span of two years. Burned myself out a bit with the series by the time engage came out, was enjoying what i played but stopped half way through.

      She can use Nosferatu in a game with buyable Nosferatu and has pretty good magic, speed and defence growths. I don't like her character or aesthetics, but as a stat blob she's good.

    I played Three Houses during covid and enjoyed it a lot, then tried a bunch of the other ones and proceed to not really like any of them, and then a new one came out and the art style was so bad I didn't bother.

      I fricking loved 3 houses. Having permadeath threaten characters you like was a great way to make a mid game high tier.
      Engage completely lost that with the shittiest dialogue since the first Resident Evil. You made the right call, it was laughably bad.
      Sadly I hear the other games are all like engage.

        I played through two routes of Fates, like half of Sacred Stones, and a bit of Echoes and while I did not particularly like any of them, it was as much for gameplay as story reasons

    As someone who likes both old and new Fire Emblem games (My overall favorite has to be Path of Radiance) I think Engage has to be the worst one I ever played along with the Shadow Dragon remake (I never played Revelations in case you're wondering)
