What went so right?

It's the heavy moral ambiguity. None of the Three Houses is "right." The plot is the good kind of slow burn, revealing bits of the mystery without disrespecting the player

It subverted our expectations.
The hype built around Fates quickly faded one we learned about the two games shit, no petting and shitty story and localization.
3H is not olny a fundamentaly better game than Fates (and arguably SoV) in every single field, but we were expecting so little of it that the fact it was good made for a particularly pleasing surprise.

>even though its completely lost all steam
There are still daily threads what the fuck are you talking about?

Adding some anti-aliasing doesn't turn a game into a movie but it does make it more pleasing to look at. I'm not saying the game is bad but it sure is butt fucking ugly.

Art design is an extension of graphics. Fire Emblem has a unique (somewhat) art design. Just so happens to look like liquid shit.
Those Warlock titties are something else though lemme tell you what.

>Why is this not on PC or PS4?
Because Fire Emblem is a Nintendo exclusive?

Nintendo owns Fire Emblem since you know

I want to give this game a chance, but WAY too many people are talking about the waifus. What kind of game has gameplay so terrible that people would rather talk about licking Tharja's armpits, or licking Lucina's feet? It's suspect.

This game can't come out on PS4 because it has sexy female characters and a lot of traditional family model/roles conversations/jokes, sorry Snoyboy.

Bringing forward the point that it has "sexy female characters" as a selling point of a game also proves my point. No one fucking cares and that has nothing to do with enjoying a game, you fucking cock sucker.

No because the game barely has anything to do with waifu shit, its extremely toned down when compared to fates/awakening, infact you only marry the partner you choose at the very end of the game and then the game ends.

all you have to do for people to start lore discussions is just say "Edelgard did nothing wrong" and lionskeks will flood the thread dumping lore just to try to prove you wrong

The fact that marriage shit is still in the game period is a really, REALLY bad sign. Also, look at how blatant the waifu pandering is with the female characters. They didn't even try to hide it.

it's always snoys, they still can't get over omega labirynth fiasco

The Switch created some weird cult of weirdos that use it as an identity piece. Literally any negativity on this board surrounding it is dismissed or they get extremely angry.

Ignoring the waifu pandering, it exists solely for stupid plot progression stuff, which is something you'd only see in a cinematic experience. This was Fire Emblem's second major problem: WAY too much story.

one of them is a march ring (+1 movement) and i think it's the chest at the very north, so if you can only get one get that one.

There's a ring that gives +1 movement, which is definitely worth it. Dark Seals are the only reason to fight the Death Knight and they're almost useless, so prioritize the chests and kill all enemies.

Haven't had issues (looks pretty sharp, but has lotsa jagggies) but it looks ugly as sin. I usually don't give a fuck though.

You know, as popular as this game is getting, you know we won't see a goddamn thing of it during the yearly videogame awards. It's all gonna be fucking Death Stranding and Doom Eternal.

The text can be hard to read. Definitely play it in docked mode if you can.

Or other Switch games for the honorary "Nintendo game that is nominated but never wins shit", like Luigi's Mansion 3. FE is not as much of a critic pleaser either.

I learned to stop caring about awards a long time ago.

It was also in FE6/7/8/9 you nigger

The graphics are fine. The biggest issues are the lag and bad animation blending.

Its probably the best FE to date.

I loved VC4 too, but three houses is a better game.

Frankly the VC games are too easy, I wanted a hard mode in Vc4 but it aint there.

The game is great. The story and characters are actually good and the gameplay and maps are solid.

No mods for VC4 yet like VC1 Gallian Crossfire? Or is it too hard with Denuvo?

Every FE is better than awakening

Three houses is pretty good, just waiting on those harder difficulties to say if its better than conquest for recent ones.

Better story/characters than 90% of Fire Emblem, but gameplay is mostly casual friendly and the difficulty curve is erratic on hard. Lunatic would probably be more consistent.

Overall, it's a step in the right direction, all they need to do for the next is really focus on map design and balance.

i'm sick of people using the "LE MOVIE GAME" buzzword as a "get out of criticism free" card for nintendo.
fire emblem's visuals are unacceptable for a $60 game in 2019, period. the lack of effort, quality control and attention to detail are glaring just from looking at any random screenshot of the game. the only way a game comes out looking like this is if the devs and the publisher just don't care. and let's get real for a minute - it's fire emblem, it's never going to wow anyone with gameplay to make up for it.
speaking of gameplay, you nintendofags call persona a "movie game" for having vn segments and cutscenes. now, you're praising fire emblem as goty for copying the same formula you criticize with persona. the hypocrisy is glaring.

I was on course when it came out so I got it on my switch.

So no ideas about mods.

>this pretty low effort entry
It's the best game since Path of Radiance.
VC4 didn't bomb.
Not when they reused 80% of the assets of the 1st game, budget games don't need to sell much to breakeven and VC is treated as such.

Yes they did. You're stuck with a stagnant avatar. Changing the gender isn't creating the character.

>you're praising fire emblem as goty for copying the same formula you criticize with persona.
Huh?

Ah that's brutal then, a great part of VC1 was the mods that made it so much more fun gameplay wise so you didn't just aim for running to the flag with a scout all the time.

It failed because it had so many semen demons and literally just had a 2 CGsets.

Gameplaywise VC shits on FE.

I keep hearing its like Persona.

I only wish in Persona youre able to kill 2/3rds of the cast

That's a bit debatable on Nintendo's side. Playstation's game division tends to focus on more mature-themed games and do less games with bigger funding (Last of Us 2 being highly polished visually, for example), so they're more like prestige.

And it's a,good game.

not him, but i own a switch and will still never throw a birthday party for a consumer product in my life. that's cult-like behavior.

I loved VC4 , but playing it after the remaster I can say a lot of good things about it, but a lot of effort isn't it, as it's just the same game plus one new class, and three houses at least put some changes to the character's models, in VC it sucks all characters are the same model with a different face, height and all.

>Flayn playing Fruit Ninja with Felix

It's like persona in the sense it had character supports (which FE had before P3), and a calendar based system.

However, unlike P3/4/5, you can skip all the running around the school and even skip straight to the maps if you don't want to minmax. The supports are more than a vehicle for characters to fellate your MC, and being a military school, the story is actually based around the main characters sheepishly laughing every time they mention they might have international war.

Attached: 111.jpg (1095x680, 243K)

>Felix tells ingrid to have sex
This guy has the best supports in the game along with granny-fucker sylvain.

I'm about to play this. Should I play casual or classic? Never really played FE btw.

Classic hard, otherwise there's no pressure at all.

Normal = EZ
Hard = normal
Lunatic = hard

Just do hard classic. It should be an acceptable starting point.

They finally got good writers for the entire game and they actually changed up the mechanics again from Fates
While I enjoyed Fates’ new mechanics a lot on Conquest, half of the FE experience for me is the context of each encounter and the personality of the units I use
I love how they re-did how weapons are upgraded and you can most reasonably maintain the same weapon by wisely using resources.
I fucking loved the Monastery though I wish it had even more stuff to do, maybe more mini games
I also liked how they brought back personal skills from Fates, those are always nice.
I also really liked Beasts, I hope they keep this structure for boss-type entities in the future.
Overall, really good game and experience, the story actually had me engaged from chapter to chapter. I hope Lunatic mode has a lot of care put into it

Except pokemon. It went into the bog.

I really like battalions and gambits, I hope they keep it and improve on the mechanic in future FE games.

Classic forsure, Hard is still pretty easy but if its too daunting play normal first

More like choose your own campaign
Even more interesting is that tons of plot is revealed in support conversations

this, the beasts were the most interesting addition to the game

well, from a gameplay standpoint, you do need consistent models size in VC, since its an "aim"-based game/ XCOM can has differently sized models cause aside from bombs, you dont actually "aim"
well, in hindsight, varied models size with actually changed hitboxes would be interesting tho, since you can get the "smaller character - safer character", or "big, risky, but has great damage"

Not by nintendo.

Battalions would definitely benefit from having a Dragon Force style clash between yours and enemy battalions, since right now, whoever hits first and with higher % benefits from the debuffs.

FE isn't done by Nintendo either if you're going to argue like that.

At least our kids games have tits.

>It should be an acceptable starting point.
Is it actually? I heard the game handholds you hard but I don't know in what ways

>beast
everything i ever wanted in a trpg, really. Shame we dont get to control 1
like, what can be cooler than using a 4-space fucking dragon that is a destructive force of nature, and you actually have to space your units well enough to have room for it? TO's dragons were fun, but they were too small to be interesting and became sth more than a bigger stat-stick

Btw I keep hearing discordind opinion. By someone, it is the best game since the series went to 3ds, a good return to old standards, etc and by someone else is literally described as a kusoge.
For what I have seen the general art direction feel indeed a little "cheese" and the graphics are a punch in the eye, but is the game any good? What is it?

It is definitely choppy presentation wise, but I unironically think it has soul.

The biggest flaws are certainly difficulty curve, and reusing/some lackluster map designs. There's a few good ones post timeskip, but a lot are just forest choke points.

Definitely recruit a pegasus from another class (Petra or Ingrid) so that you don't try using Marianne as a flier, you need to keep her in a healing role. Felix is a cool unit for a first playthrough as well. Put Hilda on a Wyvern. Invest as much as you can in getting Lysithea to B reason as soon as possible.

For those who wanted a political fantasy VN with SRPG gameplay on top it's a good game.
For those who don't really care that much about the context/are mainly into FE for the gameplay or just outright enjoyed the whole of the 3DS entries more for a variety of reasons, it's a pretty mediocre and shallow entry that some keep thinking will improve with the addition of lunatic when it's just kinda loose from the core, especially in comparison to the best in the series.
Personally, coming from playing Fates/If in Japanese I can't hide my disappointment, though I do also have terrible taste. It's still an enjoyable experience, it's just kind of lacking in a pretty bad way.

the graphic is offensively bad, yeah, but its a joint venture between IS and Koei, where Koei actually had to do most of the engine. and you know they fucking suck at optimization and making anything other than the main characters models good-looking
everything else is great tho, esp story. gameplay can be harder, but there're maddening and lunatic coming in a free update, so people are waiting for it

>yfw MP4 is the only one that doesn't turn out to be a success

The game is too easy, and the maps are pretty mediocre, but those are my only real issues. So hardcore gameplay purists are pretty lukewarm on the game, but I think the complete package ended up being something definitely worth the money.

>you cant "accidentally" overgrind
I did all the paralogues as they poped up and ended up severly overleveled

nintendo publishes the games and co-owns the franchise. they share the blame with game freak and creatures.

Nope. You must mean FE Heroes which has them like that in some instances. That's not a real FE game though.

A quick check on Metacritic or
Opencritic says this is bullshit.

I thought in the Marianne paralogue she was going to use her crest to transform, and was a bit disappointed when she never did.

>and reusing/some lackluster map designs
Definitely the biggest flaw. Especially with how some maps are reused for paralogues. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't every character in Fates have a unique map for their paralogue?

It's a shame that their charge attacks have shit accuracy, and never feel like a real threat.

Yeah.
Slight missed opportunity given the first Black Beast we see to use the Crests in that way and transition into full Kaiju Emblem

B faith is better since she gets Warp. Get her reason up until she gets Luna and Dark Spikes, then put it on hold until she gets Warp.

Oh shit, I dumped all of my renown into statues

P5 and MHW aren't first-party titles. It's far from the same thing.

pretty much, but to be fair, the 3ds games' map are very lightweight and easy to create
3H maps, unless they are modular, are much more complex detail wise, and cost quite a bit of time (and disk space)
and the gba/ds games' are literally pngs

I think you always get reset to around 6000 renown at the start of each NG+. Each professor rank is only 500 renown so you may have to do a couple of battle quests to get enough.

is using the online features considered cheating?

Nothing looks good on Male Byleth because he's a punk bitch with an awful haircut.
Honestly the decision to have him/her be non-customizable was the fucking worst. 3H is still Awakening-tier Fire Emblem, except somehow with less strategy.
I mean Byleth doesn't even have a character. Like, at all. Robin? That was a character, sort of. Corrin, even more of a character, for all the good it fucking did.
Somehow it made sense in some chink's tiny skull that as you stray further from characterization, you should stray equally from personalization.
I mean fucking what?
This fucking game should've had alignments and branching dialogues and been a true RPG.
Fuck Japan and their four decades of faux-RPG bullshit that has ruined an industry.

I like the game but there's no excusing the shit visuals.

I love them both but I'd personally vouch for XB2 over FE. Realistically they'll both last you around the same amount of time unless you intend to play every route of FE.

You could search for Xenoblade 2 secondhand for 40 bucks, while you'll have to wait a while for any price drop on FE.

The timeskip fucked my dude hard.
He was so good pre timeskip, now even Gilbert does better.

both are pretty much 150h+ games, so you are dandy either way
well XC2 can be found used easier, so you might save quite a bit. and getting on the 3H discussion train timely is great too

Both are great games so tough choice.

Because Fire Emblem is owned by Nintendo?

To add to this
XB2 is 150 hours on a single campaign, it’s a lot more of an adventure JRPG with political and world building stuff that’s present but still focused on central narrative
On the other hand, 3H is more political for sure and has a more consistent dub quality. It’s also a matter of whether you prefer MMO-lite combat vs SRPG.
Both games have fishing mini games though and that’s what matters

>try auto battle

The AI is not very smart

I wish they gave us a make-your-own encounter tool where you could set up what objectives are had and the layout of the map with modular parts and tile sets and different unit priorities

Depends on what kind of RPG you like more, if you're leaning towards strategy side of things go for FE:TH, if you like more action-like RPGs go for XC2.

It's got almost no strategy and the RPG factor is exclusive to RNG numerals that you spend 80% of the time manipulating on menus, which could in theory be fine (albeit uninspired), but because of the aforementioned difficulty (or lack thereof) you're wasting 100% of your time just fucking about to watch the latest anime trope convention palette swaps talk about food.

And I'm not talking about dumbass Bioware sex scenes, I mean romantic dialogue, you know, fucking characters that have emotions and react like human beings instead of robots with tits and bad haircuts.
How about the ol' slit-eyes learn to feel instead of leaning on their crutch of honorifics and act human for once instead of needing to be trained like wild dogs. Maybe they'll give the next Fire Emblem a Pulitzer if it can manage to have a single memorable line of dialogue in its 20-odd hours of fucking cutscenes despite proclaiming to be a video game.
Fucking forty hours for emotional devoid dialogues and shit-for-brains gameplay. That'll be $60 + tip, see you next year for the same fucking game, or better yet there'll probably be three or four more of this same creatively bankrupt type production released before the end of the year.

You really have to baby him with the experience gem for a bit. Missing out on all of those maps leading up to the bridge chapter is murder on him. Gilbert is pretty based too though and I'm sad I benched him for all of BL.

What does the assassin's stealth ability do? Does it just prevent the enemy from attacking it while another valid target is in range? If so, would that make squishy mage assassins with levin swords viable?

They were just too lazy to do separate portraits for a few battles.

It's not railroaded. They also make it easy to be a brawler.

This is pretty spot on. I'm enjoying the game, but I know that's only because developers have fucking given up on releasing anything this year worth playing, and my desperation to get out of this terrible drought is driving me to continue playing it.

Well that's weak as fuck, no pun intended.
Like really? You couldn't even recolor 'em, or make them talk closer to how Doodoo talks?
Maybe give them unique armaments because they're hardcore and wouldn't want to be associated with Kingdom steel.
I really don't get why details like this are allowed to slide in video games. It just shows that ISIS doesn't give a shit about the game or its lore, which makes sense cause holy fuck is it next level generic. Right down to the color-coded borders.

Move bulky units forward with torches. I remember there only being two fog maps in the game and one has melee units slowed by trees(and Catherine bulldozing everything) and the other is so monster infested you should know better than to do anything but move bulky units forward first with torches.

There's 4 I've seen. I think the user was referencing Leonie/Lindhart's paralogue that has fog and wyverns. I think wyverns have a larger mov than the torch radius.

From what little I know about old-FE, some of it seemed cooler but I haven't properly played them (just emulated about 20 minutes of one of the gba games) so idk.

Well, not referring to anything particularly, but I was spooked by Wyverns at least once (I think it was an early quest against pirates) and in Ashe/Rhea/Catherine paralogue you have Pegasuses coming from fog, including at least one that jumps over a lake and comes directly at Rhea or anything near her.

Can a Blue Lions fag remind me the bridge part?
I vaguely remember that they pushed to the east because the enemy part of the kingdom was blocking the western part.
Was it Claude that gave them the ability to push in?
It's been hard to run a second run and not be a bit bored with hard mode.

Okay Felix

One of the most developed, definitely. Anything pre-Awakening has the same potential, but they just didn't have nearly enough text to fill as many gaps. Jugral and Tellius come close.

If you're a turbo weeb get 3 houses, if you want an actual good story get XB2.

I mean the game tells you what unit an enemy is going to attack, and you can size up a crit chance by looking at their stats/gear.
Do you DP when you get a 1% crit on an enemy?

Yknow I just realized
FE did better what Mass Effect failed to do
And ME was a far bigger franchise than FE

Petra is also literally sent out as a gift.
In game her starting class is Commoner even though she's actually a heir to the throne of Brigid.

Yes, the western side is blocked off by mountains, so they needed to take the eastern route. An arrangement was done with Claude to keep the pro-Empire faction within the Alliance busy, allowing us to capture the bridge.

>XB2
>Anything but pure shit
XBC is the only good xeno game don't (You) me

>What went so right?

Nothing. Fire Emblem is in a sad state. There's minimal strategy in this game anymore now that the weapon triangle/counters are out.

All the missions are piss easy especially since any modicum of time dedicated to training, doing quest battles, and Paralogues overgears your team.

The social lnking/school shit is only fun the first few times till you then see how shitty and shallow it is.

Character progression is fucking terrible. Each class should have natural progression routes. MASTER classes should be exactly that and feel great, but it just pigeonholes other classes routes that weren't relevant to past tiers of classes. i.e. Swordmaster/Assassin having no worthy Master class, same with female warrior, all casters can be a gremory or well.. nothing besides one of the dumb ass mounted knights which makes up the bulk of what your units will become if you opt to Master. It's abundantly clear they left holes so they can sell DLC classes.

Overall the game is pretty average and below average as a Fire Emblem. The only notably good part is the branching stories (even if 1 of the 3 is totally retarded).

The detailed history of houses (families) and their interconnections really satisfied my lore autism

Ok so it's exactly the same as in the church route.
And if I remember right, JUST Dimitri recovers and decides to take back the Kingdom.
I haven't played in a couple days because of work and low motivation. Thanks user.

Brawl needs every str boost it can get. You should at least do the monk's mastery for mages since draw back is technically +1 mov if you can pull it off.

Yeah male mages look like fucking ass in this game. A shame because I tend to roll magic classes.

I'm BL and She looked cute and i liked her design but her low strength is killing me. I'm 4 chapters in and i'm tired of babying her. Thinking about replacing her with Petra and making her a Pegasus.

You shouldn't be using male mages/priests without a way to class them out of their 4 mov, whether it's mortal savant, holy knight, dark knight, or dancer.

Nobody finds out about your divine takebacks

I think dark mage is pretty decent looking.

female mages don't suffer from that then? what the fuck

Get this game. Xenoblade 2 has less variety in nearly anything it gives compared to this game.

>Previous games weren't that interesting for me since they were all chibi themed
the only game that i think that can be considered a chibi Fire Emblem game is Heroes, and that is a mobile spinoff

Can you romance characters recruited from other houses? For example, you're in GD and recruit Petra, can she still be romanced?

They get Gremory which brings them to a whopping 5 mov.

Yes

No argument? After going through half of your first fucking point you actually get to first criticism of the game and it amounts to “its worse than tv”. What the fuck do you respond to that? No you? Why is it worse than what’s on tv? You then say it’s a shitty strategy game but then say nothing why. See the second half of this post? he details why he dislikes an aspect of the game. There’s a million things you could’ve said as to why it was a weak strategy game and you chose to say nothing. Unmounting, massive avoid boosts, magic being incredibly powerful in general, gambits being free aoe damage and stuns, etc. The thing is I agree with you on some of your points. The monestary was just repeating aspects from earlier fire emblems but requiring like 200 times the amount of time. Not having lunatic on launch was just shitty of them I don’t have enough faith in them to make it an actually good mode. But whatever, I read what little of substance you actually wrote.

>Nintendo has been renewing every major IP with great success.
Hoping Luigi's Mansion turns up to be as good as the first.

Thanks babes, now to choose GD and then decide between Petra and Bernadetta.

Promotion base stats might help her. Some advanced classes will bring her up to 17 str

The only ones that can get by without master rank are swordmaster, sniper, paladin, and arguably sniper or grappler if you want to use their combat arts. The mages, fliers, and knights definitely need their master rank.

There was a reason you didn't have a house leader with swords user

Petra. You should avoid Bernie on a deer or lions playthrough the first time.

Quick question
I just completed the bridge mission on BL route, Ferdinand and Lorenz died like pigs when they thought they could charge Punished Dimitri with Horsekiller equipped, is there a way to save units or do all who did not joined me before the timeskip dead meat?

for the most part master classes aren't better than advanced stat wise, but it's hard to ignore the massive move bonus mages can get. Female mages at least have gremory as an option for double magic casts.

cause your game is shit

Why does most of the Master classes feel more like downgrades and aren't worth it on most characters

She actually grew 5 cm

>It also gives you a lot more information on who enemies plan to attack on their turn.

Yeah, master classes are not inherently better than advanced classes. They are equal in power, but usually can do the things of two classes. Calvary+Bow, Black and White Magic, Swords and Black Magic, ect.
That mortal savant won't be and better than a Swordmaster or Warlock. In fact if you just want sword or just want black magic they are slightly weaker. They just do both.

I keep asking people whats so great about this game and all I get is ironic meme answers or people begrudgingly admitting its shit. The impression I get is that this is a milquetoast tactical game where the main focus is making super powered characters (within a very shallow character building system I might add), not tactics, with light VN elements.

There's a beast in the top left corner with a +2 def stat booster, so it's a good idea to kill them all. I just had huburt use banshee or bernie use encloser on the boss every turn so it couldn't move, giving me all of the time in the world to kill everything

It's a game that's improved on the issues in the last released game in its series in every way.

I just did what other people said to do and did not move Marianne at all during the battle. The boss only enrages if you get to around 2 tiles outside his attack range.

Haven’t played bl yet but I bet she can’t cook for shit since this is a Japanese game, so 300 on kitchen catastrophes

Why don't you play a fire emblem game and find out

Bow Knight

It should be sword or axe or something, lances are oversatuated as is.

If you've played any of the good Fire Emblem games and happen to like classroom simulators you'll like this game. What a strange way to phrase a question. The game isn't the savior of mankind or anything but it's fun, has good characters, and you get to see the work you put in pay off.

The game expects you to make her a bowknight. Avoid putting her on a cavalry unit until you're ready to fully commit to bowknight. Maybe give her brigand > archer > sniper (don't master) > bow knight

Except the maps are all mediocre at best compared to Conquest. At least, that's how it's been up until the time skip. Do the maps get any better?

>a lot of people are just happy they’re back to attempting storytelling
If the gameplay sucks, shouldn't they be focusing on improving that? I don't see what storytelling through text boxes has to do with video games. Don't pretend like this game is a war story on par with the Iliad or something.

most of the good maps are in the Golden deer route

Those terms are way too general to argue against. It would be best if you could name some strategy games you actually like for the sake of drawing comparisons. I wasn't going to buy this game but someone ended up buying it for me, and I've already sunk a ton of hours into it myself.

No your Lysithea just got horribly screwed, because that's pretty average looking. She probably got a seraphic robe though.

>losing 30% speed growth rate.
That is a pretty big ask.

She’s basically made to be a bow knight, just build her in those skills

She's custom made for Archer > Sniper > Bow knight

But you could reliably turn her into another type of cavalry or into a pegasus. In my playtrough i went Bandit > Pegasus into Falcoknight. The trouble here are that she needs swords for Falco and she is bad at it, but you can work around it with statue bonus + knowledge gems.

Sadly her strenght can be shaky but her crest is top tier so she works fine unless she get really screwed.

I didn’t mention the gameplay of previous games because awakening had shit gameplay and conquest fixed it.

Alright you're all saying bow knight but why wouldn't you master sniper?

>my Flayn has higher mag than Lysithea
It doesn't really matter since Lorenz is now the big dick mage of the team as a dark knight.

No passive, only a combat art locked to sniper

>what does she excel as?
Kindling.

I've played several of the FE games, including all of the old ones everyone jerks off. I'm trying to understand why a grown man would play this. If I'm an adult, which I assume everyone on this 18+ board is, what is the appeal of a "classroom simulator" with shit gameplay? If I want to play a weeb sim, stuff like Princess Maker 2 and Recettear are far better, if I want to play a tactical game there are hundreds of games that I'd play through first before even considering this. If I want the best of both worlds I'd play X-piratez. I'm just wandering if this is going to be like Octopath where for the first 2 weeks everyone pretends its the second coming of Christ and then immediately after it becomes one of the worst games ever made. $60 is an awfully hefty price to pay for a pile of shit.

>war story on par with the Illiad.
user wtf is up with your expectations? Go read a book if that's what you're looking for. You're not going to get a war story on par with the Illiad from any game and you're dumber than a box of rocks despite your pretensions, if you're serious. You're obviously not.

Which FEs did you play and what did you think of them?

Very casual friendly gameplay + pandering to the west. It's the same reason 7 and 8 where so popular in the west. Not that any of that's necessarily a bad thing.

I like small details like this.

Wait for a week after the difficulty update to see if it’s worth your time.

If you can't understand then I don't see the need for you to try so hard to do so. It obviously doesn't appeal to you and it doesn't have to. I thought it would be a shit game but it continues to entertain me, perhaps it's just not up your alley and you're best playing something else. As for me I have one and a half routes left to finish, and will be coming back for Lunatic after.

Significantly worse. We're back to Horse Emblem with open fields and easy baiting.

They also have unique lines for no rank.

>What went so right?
Nothing, unless you are a storyfag, this is the worst FE since Tellius.

This. But I do think there should be a limit of 1 divine pulse per battle. Maybe 2 at the max.

Shit, now i wanna see similar stuff like Dimitri + felix and whatnot.

Exactly what I did and the difficulty was welcomed as I was snoozing through hard till this point, but I knew that shit was too much of a difficulty spike to have been what they wanted you to do and I probably triggered some shit early.

>saying this when echoes and revelation exists

>support rank matters more than horse/pegasus skill for weekly tasks
>because of it never have it change between the first two assigned units
These details are cute, but at the exact same time they hurt.

It looks worse than FE9 imo
In FE9 you could easily read the map and distinguish units, while in FE16 it's indistinguishable mush unless you turn on the little diamond portraits

6/10 fe game

In all Fire Emblem games there's a point where you sadly have to turn off the combat animations because, despite how good they are, you just want things to hurry up a bit. This game, more than any other Fire Emblem, took longest to reach that point, and even now I still turn them on sometimes. It was great how quick the transitions were.

Could also be base stats. If a unit stats are lower than the class ''base'' you get the stats for free. I suspect there's gonna be cheese for it in harder difficulty, like levelling slow units to assassin for the bossted speed, or getting frail unit to fortress knight for the defense boost. Fuck, just getting lysithea to Warlock gives her like 6 def eveytime because she NEVER reach the 12 def that Warlock starts with.

Nice trips. I agree. At the end it gets dumb. You completely lose the feeling of risk. It is nice to not have to reload all the time but they took it a tad too far.

You do have a point with Echoes, but revelations isn´t that bad.

Although your post reminded me that Birtright exists (whenever I think about Fates, my mind goes straight to Conquest), so yeah, 3H is at least better than Echoes and BIrtright.

Tellius is terrible in every conceivable way, and the only reason why is popular is becuase of Smashfags latching onto Ike.

Not even gay but I would fucking destroy Lindhardts boi pucci. It fucking hurts that I will never be able to dominate him in the bedroom.

As someone who's never played fire emblem, is this game hard to get into? I managed to get through xenoblade 2's complicated bs so how will I fare here?

You can really see how the Koei influence worsened the game. Instead of getting a smooth menu and easily distinguished units on the map you get a clunky UI, battalions because they felt the one-on-one's looked weird, and the god awful maps.

The game would've been better if IS alone worked on the game.

is it possible to completely ignore the monastery shit in this game like you could ignore the world map shit in awakening and the my castle shit in fates

(i actually didn't really mind my castle since it's almost entirely deterministic if you just don't talk to people, it added a bit of customization with different orders of new buildings/upgrades and it didn't take much time, but from what I've heard the monastery takes aeons and has much more random elements)

t. thinks fe8 is good

>not leaving Byleth at level 1 until they get their unique class for massive base stats and growths

All the handheld ones, the snes ones, and the gamecube one. Dunno if there are others but I thought they weren't very impressive.
>Go read a book if that's what you're looking for.
Yes user, why would I play a VN when I can read a book?
Just explain the appeal. I don't see the point of making super powered characters if there is no genuine challenge to overcome and very limited customization. In other games where character building is the main draw, you can make your characters do super fucking crazy highly specific and unique things, and being that much stronger is extremely helpful if not outright necessary.
In the last game I played lunatic difficulty on you were just locked into one very specific set of moves for the first few encounters then you buttfucked everything. What are the odds this will be any different?

Fucking weebs I swear to god.

>but revelations isn´t that bad.
I think you need to replay Revelation if you sincerely think it's not one of the worst stories in FE, if not the worst excusing Conquest.

Is one of the most braindead titles in the franchise, you will be fine.

Assassin or Sniper for my Byleth?

The world would be better if you committed suicide and took your shit taste with you.

You'll have enough time to do both.

You can't seriously be telling me you had problems with chapter 1.
8 was boring and Ephraim is shit, but I did like 7.

You're kids will gain shit motivation at the mercy of resting or if lectures give any of it, and there are a few quests which will give you reown for statue passives to learn better. If you really wanted to though I guess you could just warp around and just feed the kids the special free meal and have other teachers teach Byleth but you'll be lacking teach levels having less options to learn or do anything.

Swordmaster since assassin reduces agro and Byleth is meant to be one of your tanks.

Sorry i meant part 1, it wasnt about difficulty it was about every single one of them being absolute garbage and 0 reason to use them when you can just use sothe micaiah and nolan to some extent.

As I have established earlier, I don´t give a shit about the story, I am 60% about gamplay, 30% about presentation (which englobes art and music) and 10% about characters (and by that I mean whether or not characters are entertaining, not if they are "deep" or "realistic")

All the more reason to hate Revelations and enjoy RD.

I'm afraid I don't have the words you're looking for. Besides you seem to have a halfway decent understanding already as someone who has previously played Fire Emblem games in the past. It's not so drastically different aside from some quality of life improvements, new abilities, classes, etc. It's just not for you. Don't force it and go play one of the other games you mentioned. It is sixty dollars after all. It's better not to take the chance if you have so many doubts.

I still can't get over how Flayn's Seminar is about the lore of Saint Cethleann. How narcissistic is this girl?

What about that brown haired kid who becomes a swordmaster? He was an absolute beast if I remember correctly.

how do i S rank Rhea? I had it lit up in blue before time skip but never got any kind of prompt.

WHy is Ignatz such a thick headed moron in his Support with Flayn

Imagine being so much of a faggot that you spend hundreds of hours playing a glorified matchmaking VN padded out with extremely shitty combat. I even see people ranking this as the best switch game. How the fuck does this even happen? This is embarrassing. Delete this thread immediately.

Who knows. The optimistic part of me is saying they’re using this time to look at the issues with the game and will adjust lunatic in a way that makes it genuinely more difficult without being unfair. The other part is saying they’ll just inflate enemy numbers and they just delayed lunatic to look generous. Like capcom and their mh dlc/event quests. From what I’ve heard conquest lunatic is difficult and fair but I’ve never played it because I can’t imagine the last chapter being more bullshit than it already is.

edward? he requires immense amounts of shit to be something good, at that point just spend it on other units, its not like nephenee in PoR who just needed levels or astrid, he needs actual stat buffs.
the dawn brigade part of the game is easily the worst part in the entire game and its the fucking starting point

Ignatz seems like a pretty thickheaded guy in general.

The game should push you to focus on recruiting other classmates more in the first half. In the second half I only had two of the other classes' guys on my team (Felix and Ingrid). The game gives you the impression that you're free to sort of do what you want, no pressure. But unless you are ramping up MC's stats like a madman and neglecting battles and seminars, you can't recruit many people at all.

Do you get any special scenes if Flayn dies? Please tell me Seteth pulls you aside and beats the shit out of you or something.

Shamir later tells you that she was lying to herself and just didn't want to admit she was attracted to you.

You really shouldnt recruit more than two units from other classes, unless you're looking to replace yours altogether.

The Timeskip stuff is too short, the micromanaging is a slog in the beginning and irrelevant later on. Every Lord and Rhea being retarded unless you play their route to wrangle them is bad writing. Grondor 2.0 was forced and made no sense.

The game is alright but far from the 2nd coming of christ you pretend it is.

Why not? I was under the impression that you could recruit lots of them if you had focused on raising the MC's stats enough.

Ingrid was like 13-14 dude.

Is grumbling about other people having fun not also pretty faggy user? Don't you have anything better to do?
It's actually better to just

Could you imagine fembyleth with even bigger tits?

Ingrid wasnt in love with him, she just respected him and was put into an arraged marriage and when he died she put him into a pedestal to cope with the death of a friend, Felix calls her out on it, and i think she confeses to Sylvain that she wasnt sure if she even loved him but she sure respected him as knight

Unless you recruited Leonie or Hilda you don't have anyone else to really fit there.

I've been having nothing but pure enjoyment with the game so far, what a comeback considering Fates killed all love I had for the series. 3H brought it back

Idk, it's already fucking ridiculous to have women as thin as toothpicks taking on fully grown men, which is fine except it's usually balanced with fanservice. These girls are ok at best and show so little skin it's ridiculous.

Please don't start with this bullshit. Just fuck off to reddit if you can't handle criticism of your waifu simulator.

There's 0 reason to use him either way.

The P5 portbegging has been mostly one falseflagging autist for months now though. MHW was legit though no one cares anymore.

well, obviously not that part. I fucking loved P5

Anyone else avoid recruiting from other houses for maximum drama? Trying a BEagle only route now

>well, obviously not that part. I fucking loved P5
Oof

Are you leaving Manuela, Hanneman, Alois, and Shamir behind so that it's your 9 against the world?

Trudeau is fatter and uglier though. All they share is that soulless clueless deer in the lights stare.

I’m trying to recruit as many people as I can on be and after this experience I’m probably just going to poach Caspar, Lorenz and lysithea at this point. It’s only a few minutes to dine and shit but that’s time I could be using to rest the month away. And it’s not like the teachers and students you get by default are shit.

try offering actual criticisms instead of memes people spouted before the game even came out then lol

Keep outing yourself further, based boy

I did, Sylvain got dabbed on. Sethet knows.

Debating it, I already have my bases covered with the normal class desu. I found it was the same in my BL playthrough, I really didn't need anyone else, I just wanted them.

Do you have to manually recruit them? Because if so then it's my nine versus the world. not that user but another guy

He’s good for a few chapters until you get zihark

yes. Actually you might be able to recruit lisythea but that's it.

What new stuff does this game bring to the table? I've played like four other FE games so I'm not a series newcomer, but I haven't felt the need to drop a full 60 on this yet.

I know it's in a school and you pick between the three stories, but other than that is it just the standard FE experience?

Persona gameplay

Those are the best kind of supports. Lys with Potter-kun is great too.

Dawn Brigade wasn't so bad once i learned that i needed to use the tank like Arran, Nolan and Volug. Trying to raise Edward is a pain, and Leonardo is a fucking waste, jesus

You get a lot of customization and punching people is fun. Other than that it’s not too different from older entries.

Ignatz ggot some seriously greath supports. I liked how he got completely flabbergasted by Lorenz wanting to hire him as a Knight... who paints.

I left Manuela behind on my playthrough but she didn't appear again. That makes her a safe recruit. Also, Marianne who never appears.

Solid customisation, good cast. Lots of smale convo and lore hidden around which is pretty nice.

Also replay value, especially those little gotcha you might have missed on the first because you had incomplete info.

How the hell do you just fail to recruit one of the teachers?

Zihark straight outdo whatever Eddie can do.

I did it on purpose. Alois became a boss and Shamir should too. I don't know about Hanneman. I feel good about leaving Cyril behind on my current deers run.

Attached: beagles alois.jpg (1280x2117, 403K)

How are you suppose to recruit them? I think I missed everyone on my BL playthrough.

Pretty sure Marianne kills herself if you don't recruit her before the timeskip.

Shamir leaving the church with you makes too much sense for me to not recruit her and make her my waifu.

I think Manuela and Hanneman are free after the battle of lion and deer, Catherine and Shamir after you save Flayn, Cyril and Alois after you get enlightened one.

Just talk to them. Teachers join easily and Manuela basically goes “please recruit me professor, oh god please bring me along” signaling her and hannemon will join. Shamir joins way before that if you’re level 15 or something.

I personally think it's better for Alois to be the one to kill all the Knights of Seiros, including Shamir.

All the knights and teachers are level 15 needed

Cyril is even lower. They don't get to join the battle of eagle and lion, obviously.
