>3H better than anything
story is great, you really get invested in the characters like no other FE by picking a side
I don't remember anyone arguing for years about hoshino or nohr being right
music is fantastic too, on par with fates
art is slightly worse than fates, but I warmed up to the style over time
>Story is great, you really get invested in the characters like no other FE by picking a side
>Be Edelgard
>The people you're allied with are the ones responsible for your suffering and actively doing crest experiments for nefarious purposes. They also have great political sway within the kingdom of Faerghus through Cornelia
>Chuch is weak and doesn't involve themselves in politics
>Edelgard does one speech and it's enough to destroy any faith within the empire
>Also Edelgard: "The church is obviously controlling Fodlan and is pushing the crests to be used at the expense of the people"
The story is bad mate. People are only liking it because many simps for Edelgard. Your character is a bland self-insert. Also, the gameplay is inferior to Conquest
edelgard did nothing wrong
rhea was a monster
>character has internal contradictions that makes him badly written *cinemasins ding noise*
you've never read a book in your entire life and you only watch marvel shit, I can tell from here
>Character is being moronic while being presented as smart by the story
>It's good story bro
>Too deep 4u
You're a fan of Code Geass and its protagonist Lelouch aren't you?
>Rhea is a monster for doing whatever it takes to stop someone from misusing the power of the goddess in service of those who destroy the word in the first place (Those who slithers in the darkness)
If you take a step back and stop simping for a sec you would realize Rhea's actions are only motivated by the greater good. She is trying to prevent the Slithers to destroy the world once more while you're helping because you just want to simp.
She destroys slitherers after using their help to unite the continent and deal with the illuminati dragon prostitute; no amount of cope on your part is gonna change that, buddy.
>She destroys the slithers after an unnecessary war that the lives of many
No amount of copium you're inhaling will ever make that good writing.
It was 100% necessary to unite the land, that was always the main objective.
In your favourite route she gets Rhea day 1 and still goes on to war, how the hell did you miss that?
So she lets them get away with their shit for far longer than anyone else?
Such an incredibly risky and moronic plan, teaming up with schemers known for scheming who may very well be diligently plotting your downfall once you stop being useful. Edeltard risks giving slithers a good chance for absolute power over the continent because she has a hate boner for Rhea and thinks she can handle everything in the end, such arrogance.
Why didn't she just do her Hopes plan from the beginning? Was Byleth being there to hold her hand REALLY that big of a limiter on her intellect to realise that hey, if you're committed to violent positive change already maybe even if you don't trust the Church of Seiros it's a better idea to make your enemies fight each other than trust in and rely on the people who tortured you?
Because the bandit hideout has been located much earlier in Hopes and Monica could be saved and named her captor.
>Character doesn't do everything perfectly that means she is moronic
I'm glad you gays will never be writers.
>Code Ass
never even seen it
>Character doesn't do everything perfectly which means she is moronic
Anon, I don't mind character having flaws. I think that makes them endearing in my eyes.
The problem with Edelgard is that no one really calls her out on her plan. Actually, it's worse, she is portrayed as smart by the game hence why the game doesn't have good writing.
>It was 100% necessary to unite the land, that was always the main objective
The land didn't need to be united to enact the reformations she desires. Her declaring war upon her neighbors is incredibly risky and could have threatened to undo any of her reformations.
My point is that it's a shit plan, nobody called her out on it and the game presents it as smart.
>She cute and I enjoyed her route, but her complete ignorance about the world and the 2 people who could've offered proper counterarguments to her position devolving into even bigger morons was unintentionally hilarious. And just how hard the plot bends over backwards for Byleth. Don't forget
Yeah, Edelgard isn't a well-written character in 3Houses.
Thank you. At least someone here isn't a blind Edelgard simp.
>Absolute worst gameplay in the series, "great" story somehow makes 3H better than other entries like conquest
Go read a fricking visual novel if you want a story with no real gameplay, you gays ruined fire emblem
>I don't remember anyone arguing for years about hoshino or nohr being right
because everyone agrees nohr was right
>story is great
They hated him because he spoke the truth
My thoughts exactly
>I don't remember anyone arguing for years about hoshino or nohr being right
Because people admited the story was shit, I don´t know why 3H babies are unable to do the same.
3H music is good over all, but I'd say its my least favorite out of the newer games by a wide margin.
The rain/thunder mixing is genuinely atrocious.
Compare:
The Thunder versions all songs are pretty much universally worse than the rain versions instead of being sidegrades.
T.edeltard
A pile of human shit better than anything starting with Awakening onward.
Awakening saved your trash series from the garbage bin of history.
The service should have died with dignity, instead of becoming soulless coombait
>died with dignity
>a dying series with no sales that other SRPGs routinely ate the lunch of
lmao zoomers are funny
>Saved it
>When it became an unrecognizable abortion and the only people that still care about are coomer trannies that only care about irrelevant shit like story and characters
Even the shittiest that emblem rom hacks are better than nu ce
Well, Its better than Gaiden for sure.
Better than Ike's games, better than fates, better than awakening.
Awakening = 3H > Fates > POR > Radiant > Engage.
>Fates/Awakening being better than anything
They are better in not having a homosexual protag, that's pretty great.
Fricking Ike man...
For me the top 5 is:
Three Houses > Radiant Dawn > Thracia > Geneaology > Conquest
im limiting it to only 3d mainline FEs
why do you like awakening so much? it's good but latter FEs improved on it bigly
radiant is better than POR in every single way, music, gfx, gameplay, story, widescreen, controls
Where's SoV?
SoV/Gaiden sucks ass and is the worst fe, map design is the worst in the series
Redpill me on the censorship, what did they change?
They changed the s supports so anyone under 18 is your best friend, even though you yourself are 17
That sucks ass. Guess it's Emulation+Uncensored patch time then.
>he thinks there will be a patch
The only people who have the know-how to make one are 100% okay with the censorship.
They already patched Samurai Maiden
Wait what needed to be patched with Maiden?
Translation omitting that they're underage. And adding stupid zoomer memes.
Is the Japanese version safe?
Probably. It was just localization dialogue.
Nothing important just changing Gen x/y terms to high school girl. The game is still censored garbage
The game is made in unity, modding it will be extremely easy.
Right, so I'm assuming that at least one of you knows Japanese and is willing to un-poz the translation then.
kek what a joke, stuff like this almost always gets uncensored patches
The game is made on the fricking Unity engine.
We learnt Unity in my college classes. It's not that complicated homie
Not every fricking translator is a fricking troony
i mean, maybe you should stop being a homosexual.
Eat shit, troon.
rent F R E E and probably mentally ill
Eat shit, troon
Dilate.
have a nice day troon
The uncensored modder only works for pc release or older gen. See Tokyo Mirage. Only wiiu patch and no switch.
they technically started doing this with 3H but nobody noticed because of the timeskip.
Because it didn't exist in 3H.
The two youngest characters at the end are both 20 years old, Lysithea and Cyril.
i cancelled my LE because of the censorship, so now i have more money to other things. thanks Racist NoA.
It's pretty bad from what I've seen. Not sure if Fates tier bad yet, but definitely up there. Cost them my sale at least.
It's barely anything. They just made some of the S-supports more vague and less explicitly romantic. That single endgame cutscene is the only difference you'll encounter. It does not even begin to compare to Fates frickery
Wait, which cutscene? I know that s rank dialogue changed but I didn't know that some cutscenes changed?
they replaced the word "lover" with the word "friend" for some supports, and people have been blowing it out of proportion due to some weird agendas. It's fricked up that the mentally ill localizers felt the need to change it, but ultimately it's not that big a deal.
Well, people I know really enjoyed the relationship stuff and they either cancelled their pre-orders or just decided not to buy the game. This kind of IS a big deal, people are sick and tired of the Muslim-Tier censorship.
Now I have to hear them b***h for the next however long it'll take for the next Fire Emblem to come out.
I still don't have an answer, are the other languages censored as well or is it an american thing only?
no idea, and I'm not factoring the censorship into my ranking, it just doesn't grab me like other FEs
it feels like it has less of a personality because it has to rely on characters from other games, like fire emblem echoes which isn't a real FE game
music is really average from what I've heard so far, no godtier tracks yet
>it feels like it has less of a personality because it has to rely on characters from other games, like fire emblem echoes which isn't a real FE game
I played the intro for a bit and I’m kind of cringing at these Marth cutscenes. Its like some gay Avengers End Game movie
Why does Engage have voice acting for the main character? Honestly its kind of annoying. I actually do miss Byleth even though I thought 3H was mediocre
I only ever played sacred stones but holy shit that is awful character design. Absolutely awful
>mindbroke /feg/, /feh/ and Ganker
how did she do it?
She cute and I enjoyed her route, but her complete ignorance about the world and the 2 people who could've offered proper counterarguments to her position devolving into even bigger morons was unintentionally hilarious. And just how hard the plot bends over backwards for Byleth. Don't forget
>With Byleth dead Edelgard becomes sad and just stays in her room doing paintings all day, losing the war
>The MOMENT Byleth is recovered she snaps out of it and cleans house faster than any campaign because Edelgard needs her Byleth teddy bear to crush armies like a big girl
Shit, even in Three Hopes thou MUST forgive Byleth to get the golden endings and if you didn't you only beat him because he was holding back.
So what's the deal with this game? A lot of idiots say "it's going to be the best,it doesn't matter the shitty vtuber artstyle trus meeeee!!!!" "nooo the gameplay is going to be the best ignore the rest aaaa" and now everyone b***hes for some reason,the frick happened?,is the censorship that bad?
from what I've read it's about the S rank dialogue where your character's relation with other minors is always platonic (Alear is 17 as well), but as far as I know it only concerns the english version not JP. I'll have to wait for French and Spanish
any info on the kraut version? i had it in school maybe it will be useful this time.
if the translation process is the same as the one for animal crossing then the other euro languages are probably safe. Unless they translate from the NoA translation like they did for Fates in which case we're fricked
this game was most likely meant to be an anniversary game
Krautbrothers.. if there ever was right time to believe in our superiority complex and the german dissatisfaction for northamerican sloppyness and prudish culture it is now.
We need to believe that they translated directly from our former allies
Isn't Alear like some 1700 year old dragon?
Played 3 chapters so far and it's fricking great. Objectively a better game than 3H and awakening so far
Maddening or hard for Engage ?
Maddening on 3H was too annoying but hard was too easy.
I'm in chapter 5 on Hard right now, it's been pretty easy so far, probably gets harder later
Im not a fe expert, but engage on hard is a lot harder than 3h on hard was for me.
I don't think you can meaningfully judge a Fire Emblem based on the first three chapters
>First impressions = best game evar!!!11!!!!!11!!!
This is why the majority of online discourse about games is meaningless noise
Yes. They now cannot read words on a screen that say "I love you >w<" for the 5000th time so game is bad.
Ganker never cares about gameplay.
>They now cannot read words on a screen that say "I love you >w<"
I'm not asking for much. You already took this away from me IRL. Why rob me of digital love?
Coomers got mindbroken because you can't marry a child
Engage is better than 3H because Engage is gameplay focused.
>b-b-b-b-ut MUH STORY!!!!
Gameplay is all the same shit though. Its an SRPG, so how is it that much better.
Map design
AI
Unit diversity and balance
Also, Kino Emblem is one of the few SRPG that actually have perma death. Doing a blind hard mode ironman and it's fricking great so far
Maps are still garbage.
Objectives are still 99% rout.
Gives you a bunch of broken abilities.
Even more braindead than 3H.
>b-but muh weapon triangle!
3H won.
>3h won on map design
>16 chapters of the exact same maps on each route
kek.
>Even more braindead than 3H.
Maybe play the game you're shitposting about first?
Ah so Fates Conquest is the best game in the series? Based
Any 60fps patch already?
Pray that the SEA version has a different English TL.
Reminder that the gay romance between Sylvain and Felix was also replaced with platonic friendship in Three Houses and Ganker didn't give a frick about it. In fact barely anyone knows about it, and if they did they'd call it based.
No one did Blue Lions besides gays, homos and women. Thats why
>no one did Blue Lions except FE install base
everyone in blue lions is gay, except ingrid and mercedes
Ingrid is homophobic and Mercedes comes from the empire which has the aids ridden house
she look pretty healthy to me, I dont think she has aids
Mercedes can marry female Byleth
female byleth is not canon, so neither is that, so not worried
There was no romance there you fricking fujo.
It's heavily implied, and at any rate they butchered the translation. Isn't that usually enough to make you weeaboos burst a vessel? I guess not if it's at the expense of the other political side.
Your moronation is heavily implied.
That's because they only care about censorship when it personally effects them. It's why they didn't give a shit about china censoring stuff about their genocide, because that didn't personally effect them
>Review embargo is up three days early
I’m feeling optimistic Colgatebros
I didn't and won't play any FE game made after the DS ones because the new anime art styles and character designs are fricking soulless and disgusting. Bring back the artists who did 6-8 or the Radiant duology and stop pandering to the lowlife weebs.
the best art was awakening and fates
>forgetting the actual best game of the 3D era of Fire Emblem
but it's a remake
if they remade any others in 3D, I would still leave them out of this group
I blame the fans
>
Sovl
finally, some good fricking food
these last few FE games design horrible boys I tell you
Echoes Chads are the best!
Echoes/gaiden were never good and echoes didn't even fix the atrocious map design with every battle being the same
"map design" is a meme and unecessary as proven by the success and overall opinion on 3h and echoes
Did you just fricking put success and echoes in the same sentence? Shit was fricking Tellius level bomb
Echoes of Valentia is objetively the best and most soulful fire emblem games and I can't give less of a frick about the rest of wrong opinions
the game and story in this are not anywhere near Echoes.
Anyone expecting this to be anywhere near as good as that game because of "haha it's not 3H :D" are going to be ASSBLASTED
you're thinking Fates. Shadows of Valentia got good reviews and good player reviews when it came out.
meant for
I don't give a frick
>what were even the complaints for echoes anyways?
the game was so soulful that it recreated the original too well, including its flaw of having shit maps, that was its biggest complaint
if you ask me that didn't matter to me really. I hope you enjoy it
post best girl
The one and only
It's a good remake even if they copied the bad map design from the original
...what were even the complaints for echoes anyways? I'm playing it for the first time and I'm having a blast with it currently I am aware the original game was so bad that even the developers admitted it and the remake was released in 3DS when it was basically dead but the gameplay, presentation, and story seem solid
>Celica shilling and fricking over alm
>Shit map design
>Shallow as frick gameplay compared to fateswakening
>Only good thing was the presentation
>No replayability
>Didn't even change the gameplay in a substantial way
ROMANCE SHIT RUINED FIRE EMBLEM
I STILL REMEMBER THE GOOD OLD DAYS WHEN THIS WAS ALL ABOUT STRATEGY
I USED TO LOVE FE4 BUT NOWADAYS I HATE IT BECAUSE THAT WAS THE BEGINNING OF THE END, NOW 90% OF ANY DISCUSSION RELATED TO FE IS ABOUT WHO FRICKS WHO AND IF IT IS POSSIBLE TO FRICK X
over 90% FE threads I've seen in the past few years had "le anime faec" as the op image
never a shot of gameplay or a map or weapon or even the game's cover or anything
always le kawaii uguu anime faec
tells you everything you need to know about nuFireEmblem
>never a shot of gameplay or a map or weapon or even the game's cover or anything
none of those would stand out in the catalog
disappointed in the music
the originals sounded better than the remixes
there was 1 good new song though
I never played it cause I dont care about musou games
It is so hard to keep following this series when the fanbase devolved into a horde of gamer morons.
FE Gaiden remake was one of the best ones since a long time and it pretty much flopped because it didn't cater to the new fanbase.
It flopped because the 3DS was dead by then
>because it didn't cater to the new fanbase.
for me, it was the artstyle
one of the best characters ever
Nah, now 90% of any discussion related to FE is seething about Edelgard.
>Fates 2.0 will be forgotten within a month
FOUR MORE YEARS.
For me its 3 Hopes
The 3 Copes
I've enjoyed every Fire Emblem and will enjoy this one too, but it doesn't look like it will be nearly as engaging story-wise as 3H
actual canon tier. Engage will probably be in "good gameplay shit story" tier
>3H that high
>7
>good gameplay
7 is as braindead as they come until Hector Hard Mode. The game is literally "it gets good 3 playthroughs in"
>Having a shit gameplay tier while Echoes and Awakening that have the worst gameplay not in that tier
>echoes on shit gampley good story tier
map design is a youtube meme
>awakening on shit gameplay GOOD STORY tier
are you stupid?
On top of having shit map design which is literally level design, it had shit mechanics like speed threshold for doubling being only 1, dungeon exploring relying on randomly generated encounters in a fricking turn based strategy game, combat arts not being that good if you double anyways, items being limited to one at a time slot per character killing variety on the spot thinking and planning ahead, terrain boosting avoidance centralizing to just using magic.
I wasn't saying Awakening had a good story it still had shit gameplay.
>still haven't played Radiant Dawn
>played Path of Radiance when RE4 first came out
Tell me, anons. Does it emulate well on Dolphin?
Literally everything runs well on Dolphin and has for like ten years
Nice.
Yeah Radiant Dawn runs fine. Bit of a learning curve though, much different game than PoR.
Instead of one party through the entire game, you lead different factions starting with the dawn brigade.
im not playing because the mc looks dumb
Got to chapter 6. Gameplay and graphic wise, its really good, might be better than 3H. Shame about writing, character designs and music, they all range from mediocre to awful.
I didn't enjoy 3h all that much but I went edelguard route. Are the other routes more fun?
You picked the worst route
Might try church route next or blue, heard blue was best story. Haven't played 3h for years though, should I do NG+ or standard?
What did you dislike? The school portion? Because if so you won’t like the other routes either.
>call a homie who work at gamestop
>can I get FE engage early?
>you could, but I'm in vacation right now
Motherfricker, I trusted him
>trusting normalshitters
game is boring
For me
3H=RD>POR>Aw>Fates>Engage
the reason I put Aw/Fates above RD and POR is the art style, music and character dialogue
FE used to have really dull and dry dialog before awakening
My top 5:
1 - Genealogy
2 - Thracia 776
3 - Three Houses
4 - Radiant Dawn
5 - Path of Radiance
My top 5 is
>3H
Because I didn't play other FE and I'm starting Engage in 3 days
Bro? Your NES, SNES, GBA era Emblems?
Remember when Fates was the worst thing to ever come out? Remember when Awakening was the worst thing to come out?
Every new FE game causes everyone to shit talk the latest release it's very odd.
It's also really odd that people say the games have been shit for over 15 years while still talking about and playing them. Are other fandoms like this?
>Are other fandoms like this?
Kinda? FF and Pokemon are also like this but with FE especially there is a huge divide where a lot of fans don't have interest in playing every game in the series. Awakening and everything that comes after it has a significantly bigger playerbase than what came before.
>3H
>above anything
Opinion discarded, kys
I'm playing Engage right now and it's already better than 3H because there is no school bullshit, no monastery bullshit (the Somniel is closer to My Castle than to the Monastery) and most importantly, it doesn't waste your time with Persona-esque calendar and social links.
Oh and the cutscenes have more than 5fps, they look similar in quality to Awakening/Fates cutscenes which were top tier.
When I read posts like this, I always wonder if it's troll post by someone who never even saw 3H, or it's someone who played the game for 10 mins. What social link, you mongoloid? Have you not seen arena? Have you not noticed
>skip monastery and do auxiliary battles
option? Are you telling me that Three Houses is the only FE game with support conversation? For the love of fricking Christ, at least do some research before posting.
It's the only one you take your students to eat lasagna and sing at the church
>lmao just skip most of the content of the game
Then why include that shit mechanic at all? It just pads the game, plus if you do skip everything you'll miss on character skills and will be at a disadvantage because you don't want yo waste your time
>skip the content
I jsut told you you can do auxiliary battles INSTEAD. Three Houses is offering you few things to do, and you can pick what to do in your free time.
I get it. You want linearity and hand-holding.
>just do auxiliary battles
>pitiful experience from them gives your units barely anything
>because of how motivation works you can’t raise your weapon ranks efficiently, byleth will remain swordlocked and unable to reclass
>can’t recruit anyone since you never have the ability to raise your support rank with the students and byleth’s weapon ranks
You have to be delusional to believe that all the monastery shit was optional if you didn't want to gimp your units
Have you people actually played Awakening lately? Have you ever tried it on lunatic? It is really, really bad.
I only got half way through the game on lunatic before I felt burnt out. Before that I played through it rapidly. Lunatic felt like other lunatic settings. You have to play a certain way and halve your options so you can win.
3H was good.
Playing engage on maddening rn. Holy shit is the gameplay way better than 3H. It’s hard but fair. I’m really digging it.
To be fair Engage is such an unmitigated disaster even 3 Hopes would be considered a superior game.
glad I pirated it, the native switch resolution looks like shit
kek fake and gay
seethe, it's real, the game gets blurry as frick
you could say it makes her skin look a bit more pasty
>he thinks the pre-launch pirate copy is the final release
lmao, but good job at depriving yourself from a better experience by using poorly emulated shit
Thats some copium buddy. I’m running at 30fps stable
Terrible bait
Reminder that Gaiden, Awakening, Birthright, Echoes and 3H don't even qualify as fire emblem games.
>Fates > all Fire emblem games
Fixed.
if 3H didn't have edelgard, I would agree
Because Fates has Camilla, I agree.
>engage chapter 3
>"divine dragon" and "fell dragon" already mentioned almost 20 times
this is one of those games, isn't it?
Engage's plot is pure soul, homosexual
Collect the 12 MacGuffins to kill the evil dragon
best art is engage, trannies cant into mika pikazo
Engage art is troonycore
It's obnoxious that NoA is once again being homosexuals but it seems like the solution to one line of dialogue being changed is to just read the original dialogue for that part. I don't see how that can be a dealbreaker when it's so easy to work around.
Didn't know 3H caused this much seethe, rather strange as it is by far the best FE game ever released.
The flaws it has are minor, and the upgrades to the story are so overwhelming that it's pretty much in a league of its own.
Edelgard, Dimitri and Claude are all great, but flawed, character and are a lot of fun to interact with. Combine that with the ability to shape your own story and you've got a great, immersive, game.
Don't even get me started on the art, playing Engage for 30 minutes made me realize what we've lost. I mean, just look at pic related, absolutely horrible.
Notice how 3Hgays never mention gameplay because they know its awful, just muh stooory and characturs
gameplay was fine
Thats how i know 3H was your first FE game, no one who appreciated the older games would accept this game's mediocrity. Combat is the most dumbed down unga bunga shit ive ever seen almost as bad as the gacha shit but at least that one has the weapon triangle. Also, as discussed in this thread, the fact that the game punishes you for not engaging with their moronic persona school system is the piss icing on the shit cake.
my first FE was FE4/FE5
It's actually more like this :
3 Houses
>Good story
>Good Characters
>Normal combat
Engage
>Boring and uninspired story
>Horrendous characters and designs
>Slightly better than average combat
Is it really that hard to make a choice?
>normal combat
Stopped reading right there
So far engage has a pretty disappointing ost.
At least its quite a bit harder than 3H
>So far engage has a pretty disappointing ost.
very dissapointing
I'm halfway through all the songs and nothing really stands out
the best tracks are the original ones lifted from fates/3h because they sound grander than the synth style they chose for this, the remixes dont sound as good as the originals
>3 Houses
>>Good story
I don't really get the people that just give TH a free pass on the story. I thought TH's story was one of it's weak points. The three school paths are almost identical, making replaying the game a real slog, and every single faction's war phase has issues with bad decisions, rushed pacing, bad character motivations to move armies into place (like in Blue Lions route, there is no reason whatsoever for Claude to join the battle between the three armies other than the fact that they decided that had to be present in all of the routes.). The War phase was chock full of bad writing, but I guess everyone just conveniently forgets that because they spent most of the time just enjoying the school section?
I can't take any of the reviews seriously because every single review that claims Engage has a bad story is directly comparing it to Three Houses, instead of trying to judge it on it's own.
>Shitnatsu
>good
you could've made your shitpost less obvious but you had to add that last line
>nu-FE games
>better than anything pre-Awakening
have a nice day
>Ganker got mad at dating sim bullshit in Awakening
>Ganker got mad at dating sim bullshit in Fates
>Ganker got mad at the lack of dating sim bullshit in Shadow of Valentia
>Ganker got mad at dating sim bullshit in Three Houses
>Ganker got mad at the dating sim bullshit getting censored to western audience in Engage
I don’t really care about if there’s dating sim shit, I enjoy games with and without it, I just fricking hate censorship
>protagonist has mommy issues
he's just like me fr fr
Can someone tell me what we know about the supposed censorship in the localized version? Is it bad or is Ganker overreacting like always?
people claim some of the S supports were changed to be more implied than explicit but I haven't seen people posting the JP ones for comparison
it doesnt seem that bad. apparently, they changed the s-supports to be less explicit.
s-support is such a minor part of fe games and it doesnt have any real impact especially in a game that does not have child units.
Well, they drive the waifu aspect of the games, which has been big for a while.
get fricked wifugays
>a 17 year old isn't allowed to be in a relationship with another 17 year olds
>you can romance 45 year olds tho
textbook groomer stuff.
so there's an Evil route, right? only reason why I'm bothering with this storywise
yes
So, we could only romance older people? That's honestly my kind of stuff
Pic related is supposedly Camilla-tier of being obsessed with you
Can we yuri with her?
Apparently yes
>never use e-girl/shota characters
>relegate them to skirmish/dlc/tower duty only so they don't stink up the main story with their nonsensical bullshit
It's been a whole decade and awakening is still the worst game in the franchise
so now that the reviews are trickling in, it appears I was totally right
also I felt this way the moment the game was first shown, but I wanted to see more to be sure
my soul detector works
Did she win?
https://www.sankakucomplex.com/2023/01/17/fire-emblem-engages-western-release-allegedly-gutting-all-romance-with-minors/#comments
its already cencored to frick, hard pass
You could've just linked the thread that guy read instead
imagine caring this much about romance in an fe game lmao.
but the game looks like a mobile game and i fricking hate minigames and castle/monastery explorations so its also a pass for me as well.
The problem is censorship, judge the content however you want I don’t care, I don’t want the decision to be made for me about what should be acceptable, I just want the original creators vision
>I just want the original creators vision
even the jap writers go through their editors that changes the script. why dont you ask them for the unaltered, uneditorialized copy of the script.
Well for starters they were part of the original creative team and these games were always planned to be made by a team of people inputting their ideas, the localizer are in no way part of the creative team, their job is to translate what the original team made and make the game understandable for non-japanese speakers
>the localizer are in no way part of the creative team, their job is to translate what the original team made and make the game understandable for non-japanese speakers
localizer's job is to localize the game - translate and change the game make it more palatable for different cultures.
Dumb as shit, people who want games with western sensibilities should play western games, simple as that, no need to ruin other cultures’ games for people who actually enjoy them
normal people dont care about the changes made. fates did a similar thing and people didnt care.
only basement dwelling weebs like you cry about it.
>fates did a similar thing and people didnt care.
LMAO
LOL
Normal people wouldn’t care if they were faithful brought over so why not just do that and make everyone happy
normal people don't like groomers. engage encourages grooming of young children.
And yet there was still an original vision that was indeed gutted because apparently marriage with fantasy people OF THE SAME AGE is 'immoral'
Go frick yourself, smartass.
>minigames and castle/monastery explorations
it's optional like in the last game
>but the game looks like a mobile game
it looks hundreds of times better than 3H
Don't really keep up to date on Switch emulation, can I play this on Ryujinx or Yuzu without freeze-ups as it tries to load in shaders now??
Runs flawlessly on Ryujinx, no visual glitches whatsoever
thanks anon
>Don't really keep up to date on Switch emulation, can I play this on Ryujinx or Yuzu without freeze-ups as it tries to load in shaders now??
hit or miss,, dunno for this game yet
Radiant > 3H > Awakening > Engage > POR > Fates
Holy mother of shit taste
How did Koei write a better story than IS? LOL
I mean, I don't expect Fire Emblem to go as hard as a Matsuno game. Say what you want about most of them (sans Fates and Awakening) but they at least had a decent enough story to not check out of that part of the game.
This shit is just like some kid's anime like Yokai Watch or something.
>Game is not only pozzed but they also killed off all the hot characters
Ez pirate
>chapter 6
>darkness bullshit
I'm about to drop it. Characters suck, story feels generic, not sure if it gets any better, MC is a huge pussy but everyone keeps sucking his dick, and I'm not really feeling the gameplay.
yeah the chapter 4 obligatory Fire Emblem parent death felt hollow as shit because none of these characters are engaging (lmao) and we've been with them for all of one hour
Oh so now you’re spamming this shit in threads too huh
I NEED TO KNOW
IS THE OBJECTIVE AND MAP FOR EACH CHAPTER AT LEAST AS UNIQUE AS PATH OF RADIANCE?
I CAN"T FRICKING STAND ROUTE THE ENEMY ON AN OPEN MAP FOR THE 100TH TIME.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I'm six chapters in
and every mission so far was to kill all enemies. The maps themselves aren't that bad though.
characters in FE ever approaching Moetron in design
Sup bros, this is what a 45 year old looks like.
Why is he staring at the MCs crotch?
Game is made by groomers that want to encourage pedophilia.
Speak for yourself
Right now Engage looks like everything I want in an FE game and may even tie with FE6 as my favorite
In the Berenstein universe, FE ended and Advance Wars became a huge hit, prompting many different iterations, each with deeper and more elaborate tests of tactical skill.
In the Berenstain universe, FE Awakening "saved" the FE series and led Advance Wars to be neglected, leading to games where choosing waifus and watching hours of meaningless prattle became the order of the day.
>implying advance wars wouldnt devolve into waifu shit as well after a few games
How would Advance Wars appeal to anyone in any alternate universe? There's zero hot girls
I wish I could get rid of these lower tier bond rings once I get an S-rank one so the inventory isn't so cluttered
>Gamestop ended up being 100% right
>Some of the best games in the series follow this narrative style, and Engage's presentation and narrative are more polished thanks to its focused design. But this approach also puts the story in a brighter spotlight and, unfortunately, the extra polish doesn't hide the predictable and meandering plot, which overall falls flat.
feels fricking bad, man
the only new thing I think the game does great is removing durability off of normal weapons. It's still there for staves.
Also, I like the support fighters. It makes shit like 'axe guy' way more useful if you can plan arround his positioning.
Outside of that though, it's the same shit as 3H except now with bad character design and story.
The new base SUCKS.
>in Jap, says he's very kakkoii
>says this in English
haha so it's one of THOSE games I see.
As long as they say daisuki and romance me, I don’t care what the text box says
FE having a shit localization is tradition
>Damn I hate when they add personality to characters, they should just leave them as the tired and overused sterotypes that they are in the japanese version
localizers are morons and should have no place in "adding" personality or anything. just translate you stupid homosexuals, the job is going to be killed by AI anyways.
Adoring the MC and saying they kakkoi for just standing around training is already a personality, no need to add anything.
Adoring the MC and saying they kakkoi is the most generic character trait possible and they apply to 1/3 of the entire cast of fates and probably engage too
I want to read what the people who made the game wrote not the fanfiction of some trannies, is that so hard to grasp?
Shiny can be used as a compliment, though it's usually said as shining to be less awkward.
ESL bro, she is saying he shines because of his sweat as in the actual meaning of the word, "giving out or reflecting bright light".
Not the secondary meaning, which is to be brilliant or excellent at something.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/shiny
>lustrous with natural secretions
Now frick off aggot.
ESL bro, you literally just agreed with me. Do you know what 'lustrous' means?
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/lustrous
>radiant in character or reputation
It's not hard to see Framme's saying the sweat makes Alear look radiant when the nip text is just saying they look cool. It's a roundabout way to localize it but it works.
Lot of people have been saying that the character me are lackluster, but they said the same thing about Awakening and I really liked that game’s characters so I’m honestly pretty optimistic
I’m an awakening baby and I’m not liking the story that much honestly. YMMV
it's because, and I say this a full card carrying weeb, the story is LITERALLY discount bin JRPG anime shlock.
If you told me this game was made by Compile Heart I would 100% believe you.
Its weird. I love Xenoblade 2 shounen anime story and this is even more generic than that if you can believe it.
Engage is a return to form and FE always had simple stories on par with engage pre 3DS era. Only 3H was different and that was because KT was writing the game
no pre-Awakening Fire Emblem had a moronic Compile Heart story. You should try playing them some time.
I don't get it, didn't the franchise always have pretty simple stories? Everyone kept saying the pre awakening games stories were pretty simple
oldgays will still argue with you saying that romance didn't save this dragon forsaken series
I AM an oldgay, though. There is no question. There is an Iwata Asks (RIP) where they outright say it. Awakening was to be the series' last hurrah.
At the end of the day, Fire Emblem Engage ends up being a rather middling experience that wasn’t afraid to try a few new things as far as combat is concerned, but couldn’t come close to the heights that its predecessors have set for the series.
Cope, the gameplay is the only that matters and this is the only nu emblem game that actually has good gameplay
>B-but muh story
If you want me deep story then read a book, video games are for GAMEPLAY only
>Cope, the gameplay is the only that matters
if that were true you would be playing Xcom over and over and over and never EVER Fire Emblem
frick off, moron
3H/Engage > Tellius > Fateswakening.
>almost all reviews complain how dull new characters are not to mention how bad support conversations are
Epic
Don't care, the gameplay is the only part of the game that matters and they knocked it out of the park
what a cope
>and they knocked it out of the park
no they didn't, you fricking moron lmao
it STILL has 3H tier map design
it STILL is 3H combat with the addition of 'muh engage' which is a buff you turn on and leave on and try to stand on puddles to keep on
moron
they why are you playing tactics for moronic children instead of something like JA2 1.13?
Frick you All for shitting on kids, now they are never going to implement it back.
Spending hours and hours on pairing for the purpose of eugenics and your supersoldier kids was the most fun i ever had with FE franchise.
Reddit is saying they are hyped because it's "not Three Houses" but those morons aren't playing it and I am. I am making screenshot compliations so when the game comes out in a week and a day or two after that seething starts I am ready
This entry is a complete fricking 6/10.
Return to form :^)
Sounds like a pathetic waste of time. Maybe you should just stay on reddit if you’re so obsessed with it
>Sounds like a pathetic waste of time.
See? Perfect example of a seether right here.
Yeah, that one will really make you fit in on Ganker dot com! You’ll get a ton of upv- I mean, (you)’s!
I can smell the grease on your keyboard from here lmao
>no, you’re pathetic! Not me, who spends time making screenshot compilations of reddit!
Ask me how I know you’re a disappointment to your family lol
because yours hates you and you're projecting hard? LMAO OWNED moron
>n-no u x2
Sasuga anon, enjoy scouring reddit and trying to avoid thinking about your lack of friends lmao
>lack of friends
bro I don't care about your sad life. Didn't ask. Don't care. Stay mad
It’s really funny how “no u” dependent you are. Add it to the long list of things in your life to feel ashamed about
>:’(
I'm playing it, haven't touched FE since Radiant Dawn but I'm loving it.
I can't tell if 3H/awakening actually fricked the series or if it's just fanbase being mixed with subhumans and tendie drone that act just like snoys. It's really starting to feel like the latter the more in forced to see this shit when I look for news on the game leading up to release
It’s more incompetence on IS than the fandom. Without IS guiding the production and creating the gages, there is no fandom. By allowing the existence of homosexuality in FE through Fates, the fandom never recovered.
>6/10
Return to form for Fire Emblem I guess
So I read there are S rank supports. Is it only between new characters and not returning ones?
Only grooming paths get romance options.
God bros, we really didn't know how good we had it with three houses, huh?
Fricking anime Black folk in my medieval fantasy game.
>visit /feg/
>its just constant assblast about supports in engage
>Censored shit
>Censored shit
>Censored shit
>Censored shit
Can I torrent it yet?
it's up on nyaa, or at least it was
Yeah its on nyaa
I got it from a filcher link last night
Did tactics ogre win?
Yes, because it has a killer story and god tier systems and gameplay and shows this moronic false dichotomy is because both 'muh story' and 'muh gameplay' Fire Emblem gays are moronic shit eaters.
I'm pretty sure those are just shitposters... Maybe.
>Zephia is not playable confirmed
automatically into the trash it goes
sorry everyone who was excited for her
literally me
how do you fricking waste that design
Killed my hype on the spot
>Zephia
She was a villainess. FE villainesses tend to have a very high mortality rate. She also killed Marni, so had to go.
Veyle killed Lumera and suffers 0 repercussions
lol
That's literally a schizo delusion dream Veyle has not reality
Veyle is your canon sisterwife and did nothing wrong.
>white dress Veyle for when she wants to bottom
>black dress Veyle for when she wants to top
Yeah, that’s weird. Normally when a character is a traitorous murderer, especially of someone your character loves, their redemption arch has to end in death or self sacrifice. How do you just forgive and even married someone that murdered your very own mother intentionally in by the name of evil?
Why is she so flat?
the character designs are so fricking bad in this game holy shit
They're distractingly bad. The 2 knight dudes are the only decent characters ive seen so far
Because it’s hot
CUTE MOSQUITO BITES
better question, why is her dress so fricking moronic?
Someone really liked GoPri Precure
That someone is me
How well does Engage run on Yuzu?
that hair is so stupid I can't get over it. it's like something a child would draw.
Finally.
Yes, I feel like this is exactly the case. This game was made to be Babby's First Fire Emblem. It's the Mystic Quest of the series.
>4 kids opening
>shit character design
>shit supports
>shit story
holy frick, map design is literally the only thing this game has going for it. At least conquest had top tier character design and a few good supports
>4 kids opening
the whole beginning story feels like this. Unless there is some le ebin twist, I have no hope for the rest of the story. From the reviews, it does not seem like there is any and it's really as straightforward and anime by the numbers as it first appears.
FE always had straightforward stories, 3H was the exception, not the rule
no Fire Emblem has had a story as bland and mild as this. It's like someone asked an AI to write a Dragon Quest story.
Return to form and even at it's worse engage is still better than 3HRT and fateswakening
good one haha
80 on metacritic, the lowest FE in like 20 years. Completely deserved, too.
Calling it 3hrt is pretty funny considering it has way less gay shit than engage
its always gonna come back to "well its no 3H" from here on out isnt it?
3H seems to have mind broke this board, /feg/, and the entire western sphere of the internet so yes
i can assure you, even if it were like 3H, and even if it wasnt censored, people would still try to shit this game because its not on platforms outside nintendo...
>Implying it wouldn't just be the same
>FE is dead and pander weebs reeeeee
>This franchise is joke
>Persona emblem
>Would still get attacked by smashgays even though they go after other series too
>With the only difference being complaints about how they are rehashing 3H
But 3H was also censored in localization and no one got this butthurt.
Engage is pozzed way more than 3H LMAO
This game feels so bad coming off of Tactics Ogre Reborn. I think I'll call it and finish up Front Mission remake lmao
You guys tried Lost Eidolons?
I did, but it was heating up my pc like mad during cutscenes so i quit it. Seemed like a decent fire emblem clone, but i didnt get that far
Does it play better on Yuzu or Ryujinx?
no issues on RyujinX. Running 4x res at solid 30 even in the NOTmonastery.
Do you get some input lag on Ryujinx? I could barely do the push up mini game
Nope. That's almost always Vsync, though. Another thing to do is turn low latency mode for RyujinX to 'on' in the Nvidia control panel.
Works on my machine.
60 fps limit, Switch Pro controller.
>acting like story/writing isn't also important in fricking RPGs alongside gameplay
I genuinely cannot tell if it's shitposting or if people really believe in this "one or the other" bullshit
it's cope by people who don't want to call a spade a spade when an anticipated game is lacking
The problem is three houses had neither, so engage being potentially passable in one area already makes it better
Yes, yes, we get it contrarian-kun. Does not matter a fricking whit what you think though since most people DO think Three Houses had a decent narrative and characters.
3H had good characters in their design. Good setting with the whole hogwarts teacher thing that fit REALLY well. The writing in that game was abysmal though. NTA.
I've only played like 1 hour of engage yesterday before going to bed and today I'm too busy with college shit but from what I've played so far I was really bored. It's not exciting me as much as 3H did so far. Yeah I haven't played much but the beginning and premise is important.
It's not just you, it's really fricking boring. I don't care one bit about magical fairy tale land. The Emblems are shit, too. The bonds are like "I am glad I am here with you XD XD XD" and are obviously just here as "hey kids REMEMBER MARTH?!"
If you played TMS, the Emblems in this have less personality and matter less than the fricking wannabe stands they were in that game
let that sink in
>the only place that actually hates 3H is just /feg/
>Meanwhile a good portion Ganker and every other corner of the internet likes it
Why do people say that Conquest's gameplay is good? I felt like all Conquest does is gimp you unless your army is just Corrin+Royals paired up with shitty batteries, which doesn't make for a fun game
When people complain about every map being a rout map in Fire Emblem, it's not actually about the objective being "Rout the enemy" but more, "The strategy is to just deathball your army across the map and win." A lot of older Fire Emblem games had secondary objectives and things that could put pressure on the player. Things like bandits going to destroy villages or a thief going to take a chest that incentivize you to play faster and more dangerously. Surprise reinforcements that punish you for leaving your rear undefended, etc.
Conquest because of the Dragon Veins and just general map design had a lot of interesting and varied gameplay that made you approach maps differently. One map has you chasing someone fleeing so you have to try and rush through the enemies to catch up, but has openable shortcuts available to use. One map has a poison swamp and hidden enemies so you have to manage debuffs more actively. One map has villages in three different directions making you split up your forces if you want to get all of the objectives. These type of maps that avoid the "just deathball across the map" are typically viewed as good gameplay from the community as a whole, and Conquest has a lot of it.
3H, Fates, and Awakening simply are not Fire Emblem games.
Jury still out on Engage but it looks to not be a Fire Emblem game either.
When people say story doesn't matter for their Fire Emblem games, which is just cope from conquest cucks, they have to realize that every single Fire Emblem game pales in comparison to Final Fantasy Tactics in the map design, barring the end of chapter 3, the customization, the story, the characters, and the gameplay itself
I mean, I agree with you but it's not fair to compare FE to a Matsuno game. That is why the series was dying before Awakening. That game combined a decent TBS with waifu shit and the autism of breeding to make a game that had something for many types of players.
Ok, ponder why you’re in a fire emblem thread seething about the newest installment meanwhile tactics is dead and buried with no new entry, no discussion, no community discovering new ltc strats for old games, no rom hacking scene, and no real fans
I mean part of the reason for this is that Square Enix is dumb for not continuing to release SRPGs. Triangle Strategy wasn't liked as much for being too text-heavy, but Tactics Ogre has gotten plenty of conversation and threads recently.
lmao TO Reborn just got praised to high hell, tardbro. Matsuno kino is coming again to whoop your ass for the 4th time.
The fact that TO reborn has a rewind mechanic already puts it below every fire emblem that lacks it, consider the fact that you can grind with no penalty and it gets even worse
TO Reborn is harder than any Fie Emblem ever made. Sorry Black person, your game is literally no frills,no strategy, one kit KO or bust garbage.
It hasn't evolved since the days of Der Lang.
I'm not even talking about engage, because I have yet to play it. I'm bringing up a counterpoint in saying that a subpar soundtrack and passable gameplay cannot carry conquest, and that I'm using Final Fantasy Tactics as an example of a game that proves you don't need to sacrifice gameplay for a good story
Also part of why tactics died is because Tactics Advance was total dogshit and Advance 2 wasn't much better. Even the worst fire emblem games barring revelation blow those two out of the water
>Tactics Advance was total dogshit
reddit take. TA was fine. stop regurgitating opinions from other people when you've clearly never played the game yourself.
I HAVE played the game myself, on fricking release, on original hardware (not even an sp) that's the fricking problem. I don't mind the fantastical whimsy world, it doesn't need to be grim dark everything fricking sucks. I liked the general tone, and I liked the story itself but Holy frick is the gameplay dogshit Tactics Advance is a chore to play, bereft of challange, but not even a fun game to break like the original. The plot progression felt seemingly fricking random in how you progressed the main story until the end. I had probably fought well over 200 battles, with maybe 3 posing a threat. Laws are also an interesting idea on paper, but an objectively trash system in their implementation
Final Fantasy Tactics being good is the worst meme you gays have ever pushed
>shit story (hint boring =/= deep or good)
>characters have zero personality
>unecessary world map filled with random encounters to waste your time
>completely unbalanced class system
>brain dead difficulty 90% most of the time, except a ridiculous spike in 3 specific maps, then it goes back to baby easy mode
>once you unlock mathematician any hint of challange the game had disappears
this is the kind of person who likes Fates
lmao
absolute brainless tastelet
fates overall is just as bad as FFT but conquest has fun gameplay and good map design at the very least
bro you don't need to lash out at a 26 year old game because your newest Fire Emblem is Compile Hearts tier in story and character design. Actually, I take that back. Compile Heart has some good character designs.
""""bro"""" engage being a disappointment is completely unrelated to a mid game like FFT being pushed as "kino" just because you played when you were 10 and now have nostalgia for it despite being complete and utter shit
>mid
Ahhh, see it's a zoomer. No wonder it's lashing out. It wasn't born when the game in question came out. It probably hasn't even played it because the PSP translation filtered it on the first scene.
have zero personality
So like fire emblem?
>unecessary world map filled with random encounters to waste your time
Like modern fire emblem
dead difficulty 90% most of the time, except a ridiculous spike in 3 specific maps, then it goes back to baby easy
Describes Fire Emblems 7, 8, 9, 10, Birthright, Revelations, 3H
>once you unlock mathematician any hint of challange the game had disappears
So don't use it? In every game with a turn wheel mechanic there is 0 tension if you choose to use it
You are unironically being filtered by player agency to make the game as challenging or as braindead as you want. Try a minimum battles run with no needless actions
>noarguments beyond "f-f-fire emblem does it too sometimes..." and "l-l-lol I win b-b-because you are a *buzzword*"
damn. FFTgays can't even argue
why would I argue with a brain dead moron who's championing a series that was dead until waifus saved it because the gameplay sure as frick didn't
lmao
when have I "championed" fire emblem? the only thing I said is that FFT is shit. Fire Emblem being just as bad or worse is completly unrelated to all my points.
FE gameplay is always barebone and the story is always generic template trash.
but this one game is extra trash because it heavily relies on nostalgia clapgays with all the past games cameos. too scared to stand on its own. yikes.
point is, the game is just not memorable. Nobody is going to remember the name of the land in this game that I already forgot. Nobody is going to remember these characters at all.
That's why having a decent story, or at the very least, decent characters, is important.
I honestly can't wait until AI replaces all these shit translators
I just want human translators who actually care about producing an accurate translation regardless of their personal thoughts or feelings
>game being marketed as My First Fire Emblem
>has a babby tier narrative and characters
>people are shocked when it's simple and censored
Based Treehouse preventing coolers from ruining the franchise.
The only real problem is how fricking boring these supports are going to be (in any language).
How much of a distraction those callback "stands" are?
Gives me an unpleasant TMS vibes mixed with cheap gacha flavor.
I'm having hard time seeing past the tone deaf fanservice to the point it being the first FE I did not preorder in a long while.
Am I missing something here?
I remarked on them here.
they are literal MEMBERBERRIES with no plot, no characterization besides the occasional one off line, and as you say, distracting as frick.
I think they were done BETTER in TMS as a matter of fact.
Why can IS simply not make a game with gameplay, good story, AND good characters? Why does it feel like every single game is missing atleast one if not two of those?
The dragon race isn't gonna repopulate itself.
The correct rankings (of the games I have played)
POR > 3Houses = RD > Genealogy > SOV > Blazing Blade > Fates > Sacred Stones > 3Hopes > Engage > Awakening > Shadow Dragon > FE Warriors
I included the musous since Hopes is basically a side-quel to 3 Houses. Warriors is more of a spinoff but included for completeness.Is Thracia worth playing?
Not bad at all. I’d place 3H a little lower but it’s not nearly as bad as people say. If it’s story was more focused I’d easily place it in the top 3.
in no way is Engage better than Awakening
fricking LOL
Decent taste.
Mating press.
Damn rat…
I’m embarrassed to be a westerner rn
You will never be Japanese or white, tranime weeb
OOTL
People liked 3H but hate engage
Why’s that? What did they change?
I don't hate Engage but the story is really very bad. I would much prefer something like King Arhur to this, where the story is kinda there in the background instead of anime kids cartoon homosexualry.
>simple story bad!
Cope, not every story has to be some cringe le deepest lore like 3hrt, simple stories are best
"anime kids cartoon homosexualry" =/= "simple story". Please learn how to read.
too bad simple and bad don't mean the same thing, moronic ass homosexual
>start game
>now, let engage
who wrote this shit? Name a single title drop in the hole story of videogames that isn't agrbage
>playing an anime game
>expecting jot to have cringe shit in it
Dumb trannie
nta and I'm a fricking megaweeb. This shit is super fricking cringe and I play shit like Persona with no shame.
Never played a Fire Emblem game before is Three Houses a good place to start?
Yeah but it's not really like the other ones, so be aware.
Awakening or Three Houses. Take your pick.
>the only really positive people can say about engage outside of the gameplay is "atleast it's not 3H"
Really now? Recency/last game boas aside this is still fricking moronic
This ((coomunnity)) is stupid as hell
>>dev interview says they deliberately toned down the focus on story and made it simpler
Did people really hate 3H stories and screeched muh persona emblem too much or is this IS being dumb as usual
So fricking stupid. 3H’s problem was the story was stretched too thin across too many routes. But it was a decent story besides with good characters. Just cuz people had issues with it doesn’t mean they should just pull the rug out and throw an evil dragon god in there again.
Rhea was an evil dragon god :^)
That’s exactly what I mean! It has most of the traditional elements of an FE story but twists them in a new, interesting way. Tellius was somewhat similar.
the later
IS being dumb as usual. KT should just take over from now on.
ewww frick no keep Kusoei away from FE you moronic mutt
>seething over musouCHADs
KT does war story shit better than IS lmao, even when they do decide to not do RoTK
3 copes flopped so dilate
Koei isn't at all involved in this and it tanked.
>it tanked
Source?
Why do people put Awakening as good or as a game better other games?
>It has one of the worst gameplay in the series with its unbalanced game mechanics with pair up relying on rng and stat boosting exacerbating juggernauting. It has utter garbage map design. Lunatic + is an unbalanced piece of shit that screams fake difficulty.
>Story isn't even that good with characters making contrived mistakes. Nowhere as good as something like PoR.
>Visually and graphically it has not aged well at all (I mean the game's graphics itself, no disrespect to Kozaki's artstyle.)
>It has the blandest and most mediocre map themes none of them as good as the bangers you'd hear in Fates, PoR, Sacred Stones, 3Hs, etc.
Only thing I liked were some of the characters.
Mouth tasted so shit after Fates that Awakening was bumped up a point two I’d say. You’re right though in that it’s an aggressively mediocre game overall that has the ‘bonus’ of really kicking off the romance/animeism that has now infected the franchise.
Nah I'd argue Fates or at least Conquest was better than Awakening. It had a bad story but it at least improved the gameplay like making the map design more tactical and improving on mechanics like pair up no longer being rng and nerfing the stat buffs and had a killer soundtrack.
I’d say that as well but the immediate reaction to Fates was that the story was atrocious and most people played Birthright first (you know, since the game was split into multiple different games you had to buy lol) which unlike Conquest didn’t even have terribly good gameplay to back it up.
You’re logic is so contrived and back-ass-ward that it literally makes no sense. You’re saying Awakening is better than Fates because the mechanics being utter broken (as in unintentionally exploitable to the point of ruining any semblance of challenge the game might of had) makes it more fun and because the story was at least decent compared to Fates and then you name Birthright which has an equally mediocre story? Just admit you played Awakening first when it was still being hype to the moon and back and jumped of the Fates hate bandwagon due to the translation fiasco because even you have to concede that you sound incredibly stupid and biased right now
My guy chill out I was agreeing with you. Just trying to explain why some people might rate Awakening so highly when it’s really not that good. Maybe I was not explaining it well but I agree that Fates (conquest atleast) is a superior game. But many people to date, as you accuse me of, jump hard on Fates and that may make Awakening seem better than it was despite being boring, trite, and ultimately forgettable we’re it not for the whole saving the franchise from death thing.
Birthright's story wasn't bad. It's only bad when you consider all the paths stories together. Rev and Conquest are where the egregiously bad writing comes in. Birthright basically has awakening tier gameplay and gba tier story
>Birthright's story wasn't bad
Birthright's story wasn't a thing. It was worse than bad it was null.
>Bad Kingdom attacks Good Kingdom
>Good kingdom fights back
>Good kingdom leader finds magic sword
>Good kingdom wins
that isn't even enough to count as having a story.
Yeah by the book, inoffensive, Fire Emblem story. I didn't say it was good just not significantly bad to be a detriment when compared to many other entries in the series.
>Gee Corrin it sure sucks that you haven't upgraded your sword yet

Why does something have to be "balanced" to be good? Awakening offers enough customization to do bat shit builds and that made it fun to replay. I'd take that over a more structured Fire Emblem like PoR anyday. It's like comparing Marvel vs Capcom and Street Fighter II.
Because it encourages juggernauting which kills the variety of strategy. And don't kid yourself Awakening doesn't offer customization, if you haven't reached level 10 as a second tier class, reclassing DEMOTES you to the first tier one, so you're crippling yourself. And there's how getting skills is dependent on leveling up. It deliberately encourages grinding in skirmishes if you want skills outside of your base class and promotion. At least with 3Hs reclassing doesn't potentially cripple you like that and won't eat up exp just to learn a skill.
For me it's the unit building. I basically spent a long time building the perfect units and then didn't bother finishing the game for months because they steamrolled everything.
So while that was fun it's still in my bottom third . Not sure why else you'd put it higher.
Even then other games do the unit building better. Fates has it so that you don't demote or go back to level 1 after reclassing if you want to learn new skills on top of buddy seals and partner seals offering more options of reclassing. 3Hs has skill learning behind weapon or class experience rather than levels. Tellius had skills scrolls or taking skills from certain characters and putting them on another for a skill learning system that's based on getting reward drops from levels and recruiting units.
3H was my first FE and I absolutely loved it
when engage first got leaked I was baffled to see the main character design but I was willing to ignore it as long as it looked good in other areas.
then they reveal the ring mechanic, which I thought it was very cool especially since I'm a newbie to the series so meeting all the old protagonists sounded amazing
then the other character designs began to drop, each worse than the last, and finally the leaks confirming this was more gameplay focused (to each their own, the reason why I liked 3H so much was due to the charisma of the group you were with, shit like dedue's fake out death or dimitri becoming more and more savage and finally breaking down after the time skip were very compeling story bits)
sad to say I now feel like skipping this entirely. the MC design is still fricking garbage and god damn I will not be able to take this game seriously with that clown as my character the entire time.
end of blog post and a genuine opinion from someone new
You’re legit missing out. The character interactions are just as comfy as 3H.
>hahahaha
>whats funny divine dragon
>hahahaha idk you're so funny
>well if it makes you laugh guess its ok 🙂
Yeah, truly riveting
For what it's worth the opinions on the character writing seem very mixed for Engage. Some say it's very one-dimensional not as engaging as the 3H cast while others say they were charmed by a number of characters and felt attached to them by their roles in the gameplay
I think it will be like Awakening where you may love some of the cast but there will be a lot of one-note tropey duds and the story probably won't be anything to write home about and Alear themselves will probably be one of the most forgettable protagonists.
maybe I'm just being petty since characters like dimitri are right up my alley so I doubt engage can top BL. I still think the MC is a goddamn eyesore though. Like what the frick were they thinking.
One route no choice games make picking who to use kind of flat, though.
For example, is anyone here NOT going to use the princess mage who gets a map wide teleport + attack as a basic Engage move?
I didn't think so.
That's why you play permadeath
permadeath just means restarting more often. why would you feel the need to remove part of the game seeing as how these characters arent unnamed henchmen?
>why would you feel the need to remove part of the game
It makes you suffer the consequences of irresponsible gameplay and it makes every playthrough unique
I am on classic, though? Why the frick would you not be? There is ZERO strategy if you're not because you can just zerg the enemy down without worry
You can give that anyone else, you don't have to use her.
the Shinryu-sama looks stupid and is kind of a pussy.
>SoV
>map design
If they actual
Messed the map design would they have people b***hing that they should have made a a different game instead of a gaiden remake?
so far it's like yet another Fates Conquest, terrible story but good gameplay and charming characters, love that most of your teammates are actually useful
The gameplay is fine but not amazing so far. I WILL say at least the map design with the forts and the need to hold certain areas make it seems like I will FINALLY be able to use Heavy Knights for fricking once.
If Nintendo wants to damage their brand, who cares? Frick 'em.
Literally only westerners are seething about engage, nips dont give a shit and itll just sell like hotcakes regardless
The romances weren't censored in Japan. Shocking.
>Nips are actually soulless
Tell me something I don't already know.
Ywnbaw
Don't have a Switch, so I'm never going to play it.
But I want to frick that blue and red titty chick.
Just buy a thing of toothpaste and you're all set.
They don't have big boobs.
so how does the evil/good morality system work? none of the reviews even mention it
there is not morality system (lol
are you kidding me? thank god I held out. I thought that was the unique sell. seems like it offers nothing new beside a pretty color palette and mobilesim garbage.
You cannot win against pro-localization homosexuals
This guy deserves a broken nose, he comes off as a pompous prick.
>Twitter
Go back there and stay there.
We have the power. We are in control. We won. Get over it, incel.
NoA of probably fills with these types, I wish Nintendo (japan) would tell them to stop fricking with their games or frick off, there needs to be a serious deep cleaning of the western side or we’re gonna be in playstation situation before long
Really wish more companies would do the same thing wayforward did, give us both literal and localized translation. Im not a fricking child i can decide for myself whats offensive and whats not
I wouldn’t mind that although I personally think doing a localized version is just a waste of resources
>A rando game journalist and a literal troony
Why do you guys go out to find these kinds of people?
>Enemies have 3 range tomes by chapter 5
I hate it. This is such bullshit. I obviously have to play defensively because the enemy spawns a wave of 20 units but I can't because no matter the chokepoint they just assrape anyone with their quasi-siege tomes.
I just finished rescuing the big milkers queen and i didnt encounter any 3 range units. Are you perhaps on lunatic?
Of course, and it's called maddening.
>complaining about the hardest difficulty being hard
moron
You understand so little. Go play Lunatic+ Awakening and then Conquest Lunatic, tell me there's not a difference. moron.
pls play geneology
I would as well as Thracia but I have adhd where I'm all over the place playing different games.
This is a good list but I am a storygay so I have to put conquest in B. The ninja rape forest was one of the best maps ever but it cannot was the taste of shit out of my mouth after that story.
Nobody cares, moronic storyBlack person
>samegay
*rape cave
Guess it's not that memorable, samegay. Gotta put it in C tier now.
Yeah go watch Mang or Mekka's playthroughs again, because you clearly never played the game yourself.
To his credit there is a ninja forest map in Birthright and Revelations, but its no where near difficult enough to be called another "Ninja Rape" map.
He’s still a moron
There's no ninja rape forest, you worthless poser.
If you're talking about chapter 17 then I'm geniunely surprised as most people dislike that map. I mean I kind of liked the more unpopular maps in Conquest including that one tbf.
hopefully in a couple years time we get decent ai localization
