What went right?

So is this actually good or are Switch owners just starved for games?

when was the last time ps4 even got a game

It's really good. It needs a higher difficulty level though

It's legit really good.

It's really fun and it's the perfect game to discuss since depending on your choices, there are four different endings. The threads a shouting match about the best units and which main character did nothing wrong.

I bought it after reading what others said even though I fucking hate fantasy games and thought Awakening was trash.
I'm playing through this one and I'm absolutely hooked. It's real good.

not the question, nice try at deflecting.

so it has the problem that every game since awakening has, ill pass.

Just because it ain't that difficult doesn't mean it's not good.

le buzzwords

Serious question: can you play the US or European release with Japanese text if you set your Switch region to Japanese, or is it like Xenoblade Chronicles 2 that only has English text in the international versions?

I just hope they bring back Sranks for all units next time. I like being match maker

Me too, to be honest.

we're getting lunatic as a free update later on

was Bernie trans?

what do you think?

The graphics and visual style are what's turning me off most from it. I'm not a graphics whore but I have limits.

i used to play these games for the difficulty, no other games used to compare. Ike 2 was the last time any of them had proper challenge, save for maybe 1 or 2 maps in conquest

all that gacha money and they invested the bare minimum. i bet this was a 3ds game for 70 percent of the dev cycle, thats probably why it looks like shit

You can intentionally fucks up your build and the later maps would be pretty challenging.
Also this game takes in account that you can rewind time so there is a lot of bullshit going on in late game and RNG is no longer on your side. The final boss in its final stage literally always has 50% crit chance, for example. Could be difficult to make sure everyone survive that. I did though.

It needs 2 higher difficulties. Hard is just normal in this...

SOUL

Would this be a good first FE game?

No, go play 6, 7, or 8 first.

I'm not sure I really comprehend how you'd feel that way. For the most part, the hardest difficulty levels of earlier FE games are usually pretty fucking easy. The only real exceptions are FE11 and 12. Additionally, I think there's a pretty good case you can make for the highest difficulty levels of Awakening and Conquest being harder than the vast majority of the hardest difficulty modes in earlier FE games.

if you play an older one first you probably wont like the new ones. play the 3ds era first, then go back because those ones are all way better

Which systems would you say have the best FE games? GC and GBA?

Wii lets you play both Ike games, and im partial to shadow dragon even if it is very dated, but yeah GBA has the classics

To expand upon what the other two anons have said, the reason this may not be the best introduction to the series is that it adds a lot of new shit in terms of mechanics. Of particular note is that the rest of the games have zero life-sim esque mechanics in them.
FE7 is a decent introduction to the series. It'll probably be too easy for you if you've some experience with other TRPG franchises, though - FE6 is probably a better entry point if that is the case.

Xenoblade X2 doesn't have the best looks either.

>otaku and fujoishi
Fixed for you user

I assume the older entries don't have all the waifu relationship bait crap? That being said, I am interested in the Persona-esque system. As hypocritical as that sounds.

The older games have supports, including romantic ones, if that's what you mean.

FE4 (SNES) and then FE6-8 (GBA) and FE10 (Wii) give you the ability to play match-maker with the characters. There's no self-insert that can marry anyone in the cast, though, if that's your main worry.

>xenoblade 2
Monolith soft had to focus more dev time on BotW than on their own game at the time. The torna DLC however looks way better than the base game.though keep in mind xenoblade games are open world jrpgs, while fire emblem three houses is just a map and units. Idk how Isys and gamefreak are getting away with half ass games. But then again people will buy it for the namesake of the game since both franchises have die hard followings, like Disney does.

How many Switch games need to sell before the Switch stops being starved for games, because it's really feeling like every release sells because the Switch is starved for games.

Good considering MM2 is out

They do, it's just the aesthetic makes it feel like you're still playing a fantasy game. More of a neat feature than the focus of the game.
Except for 4.

waifus is the answer

Let's take the base concept behind Fates... and sell it as one game... and have a decebt writer in charge... whoa...

they have it but the games play good so it is forgiveable. the same cannot be said for awakening and onward

Looks a lot better than 3H and that's with a very small dev team. X was also the best looking game on the Wii U.

Tbh after a week or so this fire emblem game will fall off in sales drastically over time and other games sold at this time will gradually catch up and soon pass it.

If you look into the interviews for 3H it seems pretty clear that the game was developed by a skeleton crew on ISIS' end with a lot of the heavy lifting being done by KOEI. Also, for what it's worth, it's clear that outside the atrocious graphic design and fidelity they did indeed put a considerable amount of effort into the game. By all accounts it's pretty fucking ambitious.

It's so fucking good
Never had so much fun since i played the GBA games. I want Edelgard to peg me, to bad i don't open for crazy.

3H is ambitious in everything but graphics so people are more forgiving I guess. Gamefreak are constantly rushed to make yearly releases so they half ass a lot of things. The Pokedex thing seems to be a breaking point in fans willingness to suck them off.

>Running though the monastery
>Frame rate is all over the place
>Game force me to slow down to load areas
Other then that it's a good game

why is the music so awful

The base assets and art direction is good, the problem is that the resolution drops to below 400p in open areas. I unironically hooked my Switch up to a 12 year old 720p native TV to make the resolution drop look a bit less hideous. In handheld it was practically unplayable. I'd take 20 fps over such a low resolution on a 720p handheld screen.

Monolithsoft is Nintendos best dev by far. I'd say in general they're more talented than EAD. I'm hoping we get some more info on their next game soon.

Both

Does ISIS have other projects? If their main Switch game wasn't actively developed by them, what are the rest doing?

It's good, but I don't know if I should get it, or even enjoy it. I can't into positioning, does the game teach you that? The enemy target lines seem to trigger hardcore FEfags

>Raphael Model looks way better then both of his portraits
I really hate this shit, a lot of characters have this problem. Either the same or reverse of the problem, also it's so jarring to see some of the S rank portraits. Some look so off

Sad that this is effort they put in graphically for a AAA console game in a main franchise. And that it's only gonna get worse with the Handheld only switch.

>game looks like a fucking 3DS port
I'm pretty sure it started out as one and then it got moved over to switch with minor enhancements

>when graphics are more important than gameplay

fire emblem has neither.

So I guess that Fire Emblem Warriors game was good for something...

They aren't but the whole package matters when it's a $60 game. Graphics, music, art direction, and presentation should all be at least decent quality.

they arent in almost all cases, but this game is unacceptable, and supporting this means you are ok with the bare minimum being put forth

Ironically; not being a FE made by IS for what it seems the most part.

>so it has the problem that every game since awakening has, ill pass
That makes no sense, everyone sucks off Ike's games and they are among the easiest in the franchise.

Anime games sell in japan? No kidding.
How is this news again?

>retards still seething about graphics
smashfags are a funny bunch

It's not even about wanting the game to look like a sony movie game, it's more about the lack of anti-alias and poor textures in many areas. It's one of those games that would heavily benefit if it were actually designed for PC instead like how Sims 4 / Valkyria Chronicles 1 + 4 are mostly toaster friendly but look a lot better thanks to PCs being able to adjust shit.

As it is right now, you can find phone games with better anti-alias and 3D models/textures than 3 Houses. That simply shouldn't happen, but it does and even a porn game like Koikatsu looks 5 years ahead despite being an older game.

Otomestacies unrionically are saving Fire Emblem

It's easy for retards like you.

Now we just need the isekai DLC where a 'new' player transmigrates into Cornelia and tries to avoid all the death flags on every route.

The school setting. unironically.

Too bad said game was also a literal glorified visual novel that could be beaten without a lick of effort.

>fanboys still blindly eating nintendo's shit
what else is new?
for those of us with actual standards, the level of quality control and attention to detail on display in the new fire emblem is unacceptable for a $60 game in 2019.

Attached: 1556300755380.jpg (1920x1080, 494K)

Nothing, FE is dead it has been replaced with a shitty high school dating sim for lonely weebs.

As an idort I think it's worth full price considering it's one of the few games I actually look forward to playing after work

Blame Switch hardware if anything

>t. incessant need to belong to some oldfag group, refused to buy fire emblem games and let it die, mad that other people now like it

How do you know which class/weapon is good against which unit? I'm at part 2, and I still don't understand and I'm getting tired of simply guessing.

Sometimes Ferdinand, who I specced as a paladin with lances, deal 100% damage against some melee units, while others he deals like 40-50% damage. Same with Setesh, or whatever the wyvern rider is named.

Do I have to be at least 25 to save this image to my computer?

it is oddly addicting and I like how everything ties into the format of the game

you are a professor so it makes sense that you groom your team and make them focus on shit, you give advice etc.

move cursor over an enemy unit. Press X. This brings up their stats page. Press X again, now you can look over each of their stats and see what each stat does. Underneath the stat page is a bunch of icons. These are the enemy skills. Some skills do things like "increase evasion by 20 when attacked by a sword" or something similar.

So, did anyone do nothing wrong? From what I understood in the threads Dimitri and Edelgard are genocidal maniacs, and nothing else.

Edelgard is a fascist and genocidal maniac.
Dimitri is mentally unstable and becomes a genocidal, deranged lunatic, but he gets better and recovers over the course of the story- but still keeps his wits and murders those he deems necessary- his arc is literally what everyone wanted Big Boss to be in Phantom Pain.
Claude is the most morally sound and just of the three, but even he is involved in playing dirty politics and manipulating and masterplanning stuff, but at least he doesn't participate in any type of genocide or mass atrocities.
The fourth "hidden" route is the church, the church is "good" in the sense that it keeps the peace, but it is essentially a lie and the "holy" powers it touts are actually demonic and riddled with ancient secrets and covered up, rewritten history to justify it's own existence.

Just finished chapter 9. What the FUCK.

Edelgard = Lawful Evil
Dimitri = Chaotic Nuetral that develops into Chaotic Evil that develops into Chaotic Good
Claude = Chaotic Neutral
Church = Lawful Neutral

>are Switch owners just starved for games?
How many millions of new games, hundreds of indies and ports, probably equally as many new releases have to come out and destroy the sales charts before this meme dies? With PS3 and Wii U it made sense, here it fucking doesn't.

Why does Seteth's JP VA sound like he was too close to the mic during Flayn's supports

I love the game, but no.

indies get shit out on every platform since the ps3 era, nobody buys them so they dont mean anything. this meme was true from when smash came out until like a week ago

You're never going to find a game with one billion dialogue scenes between tons of different characters like this one where 95% of them aren't executed exactly like this game does. It's just not feasible in terms of development time and money to make real cutscenes for them, and everyone with a brain accepts that.

They went all-in on the weebs.

I mean the series has improved from an absolute technical standpoint, but yes that marketing really is what sells it. Shame we'll probably never get Wars back thanks to it, and if we do it'll be pretty shameless.

Last September.

I'll take Advance Wars with a self-insert CO and relationship values if it means having the series back.

My money's on the next new FE to copy langrisser and start adding army deployments

yikes

This is the best FE to come out in years

Hidari is so fucking based

the next fire emblem will be a supreme commander clone with cute anime girls

I just wanna take my troops and do strategy and stuff, not relationship nonsense. Total turn off.

Just skip actions on Sundays or pick battles

>I know the game, I have read a twit about it, who cares about what's programmed and what people play, it's fake!
Imagine that level of dellusion.

I love how people can't find literally anything else to complain about and are latching onto the graphics.

So all the comments about how most maps are rather simplistic in design and objectives and hard difficulty is about as challenging as Path of Radiance was escaped your notice?

everything besides the artstyle. best FE since PoR.

best in years means literally nothing when the only game that didnt blow completely was a remake

Right now, gameplay wise, not really. The ideas behind most of the mechanics are good, but with a few exceptions (most of them revolving around reinforcements), you just plow through every fucking things. Map design and objectives do not help mitigate that either. It's not like Valentia, but most maps are barely a step above Awakening

Damn, you got me invested now.

i just want the old games that never got translated to come over seas, but the shitters who play it nowadays wont like it because it isnt a fucking life sim waifu shitfest. this thread also reminded me that my asshole brother has my copy of shadow dragon and i want it back

Is it weird that I know it looks like shit but it reminds me of late Gamecube graphics so I can forgive it?

nintendo never actually got past gamecube graphics, that is something every nintendo fan has to forgive by default. they always do software > hardware

in a forest = +30AVO
Other than that, in previous games it was
LANCE > SWORD > AXE > LANCE
and different units now however get the "breaker" skills which emulates this.

dunno, odyssey and mario kart 8 look pretty damn good to me. but you're sorta right

It's got that same "no lighting style". Honestly the graphics themselves aren't even that bad, the lighting is just non-existent.

GBA and SNES

it's fucking good. reminds me a lot of persona 5.
easily one of the best switch exclusives, enjoying it more than botw desu

it took all of the boring life sim shit from persona 3/4/5 and tacked it onto piss easy gameplay. it really is the switch version of P5
