    Classic fire emblem with improved gameplay. Too bad the story is saturday morning cartoon level but if you embrace it, it's pretty decent. I wish they stop censoring/localized the english version. Surprisingly, you cant marry anyone under 18 even if the main character is 17 and the s support is also 17 which is wierd.

    Ironically Awakening did that far better. And Fates also prostituted itself out for "remember Marth/Ike/etc????" fanservice as well, but at least it was mainly in the form of DLC.
    I don't know why a story with a garbage story but leaning on the memorability of the protagonists of prior games should get any praise for that decision.
    Ironically this came directly after 3H which had the most praised story and characters of modern FE, and aside from one Anna inclusion it had zero self-fellating references to earlier games/characters.
    If anyone has an explanation for why IS pulled this bullshit that goes beyond "they are completely creatively bankrupt," then I'd love to hear it.

    > Terrible character designs
    Colgate-san is just the beginning. Majority of the designs are just super over the top or way too ridiculous. Just two examples, but what is up with Ivy and the stupid little hat thing on her head or her sister Hortensia looking like a shitty vtuber? They are fighting a war and they look like fricking clowns. So when a serious moment comes to with these characters and they look like clowns, it's hard to take them seriously.

    > Lazy/half-assed writing, dialogue and supports
    I genuinely got angry listening to these characters in supports, so much so that I just started skipping them. They all feel so unimportant. They don't add anything to the story. I didn't like TH, but I like that they actually tried to make the supports interesting and let us learn more about the characters. This game just feels like the characters are spamming their one gimmick over and over again. It gets tiring VERY fast.

    > Garbage-tier story
    It's just bad, end of story. Anybody that says they like it are either being paid, or are mentally ill.

    > Painfully mediocre soundtrack (not counting the remixes based off the older games. I quite like those though.)
    Only memorable one is the main theme with the sick guitar riff (this one https://youtu.be/zO1GYKor2Yo?si=PF2QVs14eHHr52w0&t=175 ). Other than that, everything is just painfully OK.

    > Unnecessary gacha-like mechanics
    Multiple currencies for upgrading different shit, literal gacha system in the game for pulling rings, next to pointless hub area for "interacting" with the other characters.

    I could go on and on about how much I hate Engage, but I'm tired literally and figuratively.

    Engage was not what the 3h newbies wanted, so they didnt bite. It's sales are thus far more or less in line with awakening and fates, which for a game that is very nuFE but entirely without eugenics is quite appropriate. The game also has legitimate problems which ISIS has no excuse for after how long they had to work on it. the localization censorship is a big deal here, but I doubt it really hurt sales much.

    Engage is a campy game that doesn't take the story too seriously and often throws winks and nods in with the tropes. Like there's a literal spotlight on Alear holding a dying Lumera in her arms, it's hilarious.

    Gameplay and maps were good but the game doesnt (even try to) leave an impression on you, and instead relies on hackneyed references to previous games for any sort of hook. For all it's faults (and there are a LOT) of them, Awakening, as a celebration of everything the series is, outside of gameplay and ignoring spotpass, outclasses it.
