What went so wrong?

Not talking about the story or the characters. Which are pretty mediocre either way. Why is the gameplay so boring and mindless?

because it's a fire emblem game you fucking idiot, what did you expect

normal difficulty is literal braindead mode, hard atleast requires some thought

I'm actually really enjoying Three Houses way more than I expected, maybe it's because I skipped Fates so haven't played FE since Awakening but playing hard mode classic is great, it's not retardedly hard but enemies will punish you if you move units carelessly.

I liked the story (blue lions) but I kinda disliked the MC and the setting.
Exploring the monastery was more of a chore than fun. As were all the minigames and VN elements.
Also the game was way too easy, and I missed recruiting units in the midst of battle by talking to them. Imho that's way more hype than spamming flowers on someone until they join you.

The only good part gameplay wise was the class system.

On my second playthrough right now but I'm bored doing part 1 again. They really should have given each house their own unique missions from the very beginning.

Not with the red lines showing who get the aggro, no

every game since the new artsyle has been the same though?

AAAAH I fucking hate the busywork in the monastery. Can I just skip most of it without having to worry?

I only hate Byleth

He looks so fucking ugly. Black dark armor with that teal hair. He looks so out of place compared to the other characters. I made him a Dark Bishop just go go with it, because the story class wants me to use holy magic while looking like a Nohr Dark Knight for some retarded reason.

It's unironically worse than Trails of Cold Steel in every regard. Think about that. If Trails of Cold fucking Steel was a Nindy franchise if would be as popular as this.
