I don't understand. The game plays fine but it honestly isn't anything special. Why are there so many threads about it and why is it selling so well?
Why is it so popular?

its a switch exclusive and the switch has no games, so they have to pretend its good
same thing with octopath traveler, as soon as it went multiplat everyone started saying it was actually shit
Because people have opinions other than yours? It doesn't take a genius to figure it out.
No platform has good games by that logic.
edelgard is a great villain
>Octopath is shit
Did this actually happen? I have a switch incidentally but mostly utilize my ps4/pc; I thought Octopath was a stellar love-letter to CT and older jrpg classics. I had a great time with it and the OST is pretty great.
Did it actually eat reputation shit once it was put on Steam/etc? Hard to believe.
>Fire Emblem
one of the better things available on switch. Switch lacks really robust titles, so major releases get a little more 'default' attention, i think. No idea why everyone's so salty about that shit though. Just buy all consoles and play everything.
It’s not selling well, it sold less than Awakening and Fates in Japan.
It’s only selling relatively well in some western countries like the UK, but those countries’ sales were never that important in the big picture.
Because Edelgard is CUTE
What other game's came out recently? we might just be in a drought
>What other game's came out recently
Cadence of Hyrule
Mario Maker
Yoshi's Crafted World
Jackie Chan...Oh sh-
>Just buy all consoles and play everything.
this lmao i have a PC, PS4 and Switch and i can play any game i want except xbone exclusives which I don't have much interest in. I seriously don't understand the console war culture and never have.
died in a week
shit game
It might not be selling great in Japan but I've seen a lot of articles about it being the number 1 in USA markets and the best selling FE title like, ever.
same except i have an xbonex to play the console only stuff.
feels good not to have to worry about what platform a game is releasing on
Lots of replay value, lots of waifu's, first FE for zoomers.
sheer desperation. the switch is starved for anything that isn't an old port or indieshit, so literally anything that isn't that gets overhyped to the extreme.
because its a good game, despite what 80% of the shitposters above this post will say
There's literally nothing else to play on the Switch.
The RNG keeps it fresh, sometimes your Caspar is a crit God, others he is a puny slow manlet.
Sharing our bullshit runs keeps it fresh.
Also Bernie, kudos to that guy that made her a fortress knight and killed edelgard with her.
Hmm
Everybody wants to beat up Edelgard.
I hope we get numbers soon. I need to know how much more it sold than Fates.
fuck fates
There’s nothing to play on anything at the moment. Been going through my backlog since the summer started.
REEEEEE STOP LIKING AND TALKING ABOUT VIDEO GAMES!!
Monastery becomes a drag post timeskip. The Monastery should not be part of the game post timeskip. It's pointless, no quests, clashes with the story, wastes time,etc. You can see online statistics of people just using rest and seminar to get through faster.
fujoshi
>Why are there so many threads about it and why is it selling so well?
Switch exclusives sell well because Switch doesn't have big AAA games, so there's no competition for player's attention
>no quests
b-but my supply runs
I'm not to the timeskip yet, and i'm really tired of the whole monestary shtick, but i'm autistic and can't leave rooms unchecked every month.
So every month it's fully re-explore everything.
I like the dialogues, skits, etc and some of the things attached to it, but overall running around for a fucking half an hour or more every first week is just dumb as hell after 2 months.
Marketing mostly
Plus all the social stuff FE has become known for since Awakening is more polished here.
You're right that the game play isn't really stellar though, I hope Lunatic pushes me a little more.
I want encounters to force me to consider total weapon usage, support bonuses, batallion bonuses and equipped items way more.
I hope the DLC is filled with gimmicky encounters
>So every month it's fully re-explore everything.
Don't bother after the timeskip. Just talk to characters and use your activity points and leave.
That’s what happens when you throw a mediocre steak at a pack of starving wolves.
When was the last time PS4 had a decent exclusive?
nothing worth playing on switch
Imagine the boob jobs.
It tracking worse than Fates and awakening so far in Japan. Peoples excuse for it being lower are the digital voucher sales which don’t get tracked in Japan. It’s a little under 200K after two weeks of tracking
In the UK i think I remember hearing it sold 16x more than Radiant Dawn which literally means nothing because it sold like shit
We won’t get exact numbers until October when Nintendo reveals them in their financial press release
>I don't understand.
Someone forcing you to. Are you doing research? Don't understand why you bring this up. Unless you're saying you are just straight up retarded.
>The game plays fine but it honestly isn't anything special.
When does a game need to be "special" to be successful?
fps aren't anything special and they sell well. Sports games aren't anything special and they sell well. So again I don't understand why you bring this up.
>Why are there so many threads about it
Enjoyment, disccussion, tips, memes, etc. It's like you notice the threads but they just past by your head because you are to god dam lazy to even eye a couple of them.
>why is it selling so well?
Have you literally lost every ounce of brain cells at this point that you can't understand why things sell?
I feel bad for any cashier that has to deal with you.
Why do you do this?
>switch game will sell bad!
>switch game bombed because I say so
>later revealed switch game sold very well
I'm sure you will do this again for Animal Crossing.
>I don't understand. why is it selling so well?
Be me
Like Fire Emblem
Have switch
Fire Emblem game comes out for switch
Buy it

Jerk off
The same reason Overwatch sold well, people like cute girls, Sex sells is forever going to be true
Also the game is pretty fun
Chill bro

God I hope we get her as a het exclusive romance option in DLC.

This so much. Nintentoddlers have to defend their port station so any game above absolute mediocrity is treated like a masterpiece. This is done to protect the reputation of their "team".

it's the only good game on the Switch this year, and it's not even that good. the game is lazy as fuck with fanfiction tier writing.
>those who slither in the dark
cringe
You can't get it on BE
Why doesn't Japan like this game?
If I had to guess it'd be the art style which is pretty bad. 3DS was also more socially acceptable with girls maybe?
Sleeper hit, and copies damn near sold out since they didn't think anyone would buy it, then it releases and turns out great, Yea Forums hates that more than anything
Less waifushit than the previous 2 games.
THE márketing was THE perfect btfo for the shitposters shittng THE game since day one
Their dubs ended up being better than the subs.
waifushit
also a nintendo franchise
it was for a time, called it a boring as fuck jrpg and pretty much anything you can imagine, it always happens when it goes multiplat
$oy milk
So pretty much the Wii strategy?
Octopath Traveller proved without a doubt to me that Yea Forums is overrun with brain dead kids who actually watch, like and subscribe to youtube "personalities"
Fucking LOSERS
Japanese sales are uncertain because there's no data on digital sales and thanks to the vouchers this and SMM2 got a lot of digital sales the only hint about it is that it's ranking 1st on eShop. On retail it's on par with Awakening.
Kids can also use their voucher as part of a scheme Nintendo just recently ended.
Octopath is not a good game. If they focused down on the solo adventures and then had 1 big adventure where the come together at the midway point and they all interacted at that point it could have worked but the way it is now is that you pick one then you meet up with more then you have to do their solo things that last only a small amount of time. Even after these they hardly fucking talk so it may as well just be your character and no one else.
How much does it cost? Didn't Xenoblade 2 start selling like hotcakes when the price dropped?
Octopath is a good game. I am glad I didn't have to sit through endless meaningless irrelevant dialogue. I got a jrpg that was more like tabletop dnd and that was enjoyable.
Games have low standards nowadays. As long as it isn’t a glitchy mess and has nice graphics it’s a “good” game. Great even.
>not only a month into release and it's the second best selling game in the series
>not doing well
It's on its way to become the number one selling title in Fire Emblem, what are you on about?
This is Yea Forums, the nintendo central. Wait until sales figures are out. It will be the same fire emblem numbers, only that the same people bought it sooner instead of later.
I heard everyone gushing about octopath as the "love letter to classic jrpgs" everywhere but I found out it was made by the same people who made bravely default and history was literally repeating itself again with the whole "love letter to classic jrpgs" only to get the most monotonous repetitive garbage in the end.
So church and GD are good for it?
I imagine church would be easier since you keep the BE students from the start
Fuck Edelgard. Church 4 life
>its a switch exclusive and the switch has no games, so they have to pretend its good
nobody believes this and they are right to think that you're full of shit.
Shit art design and lack of difficulty appeals to Switch secondaries.
Or maybe people think it's a really fucking good and entertaining game?
Don’t worry OP, its OK to not understand why people like certain things as much as they do, it just means peoples tastes don’t conform to yours.
Only if Three Houses was their first Fire Emblem.
Already the case.
*yawn*

Just killed Hubert in the church route. Shit was so satisfying. He was immune to Marianne's silence so I just ran up on him with Bernie and she blew his brains out with an arrow. Feels good man. I cannot wait to kill that traitorous bitch Edelgard.
Yeah it's cool
But bravely default only gets its bad after 15+ hours of good.
do people consider awakening or fates the best FE games? or is it sacred stones
>Why doesn't Japan like this game?
They don't?
post wallpapers.
Best FEs are Path of Radiance, Conquest, Genealogy of the Holy War, and Blazing Blade.
I liked it better when you just posted cp.
cope
if does even decently in the us thats worth way more than japan
switch exclusives dont stop existing because you arent interested in them
This. Octopath was mediocre and probably so is this. It’s the same thing as VITA games getting ports and turning out mediocre basically. Hell same happened with Type-0
It's already off the charts, its popularity was at best short lived.
It's still #1 on charts on eshop retard. You fags are sad.
ITT: people actually responding to FIFA player.
What else would Nintendies be playing on their Wii?

Its a musou game so you know what you are getting.
Shame the roster is just shadow dragon, awakening, and fates

Are you implying that that matters for shit.

I'm directly stating that the online store that sells switch games that every single switch owner has access to matters, because it does.
fucking idiot
>game sells more than fates
>tracking worse than fates
youre fucking retarded
Marianne can be an hero if you wait until part 2 to recruit her
Well there's not a lot of good games around
Marriane doesn't appear in part 2 if you don't recruit her in part 1.
Because it has something for everyone.
Blue Lions for people who are based.
Black eagle for trannies.
and Golden Deer for soi boys.
Can I please have an FE game with Echoes-tier story and presentation and Conquest-tier gameplay? I mean the overall story and support quality in 3H is good excluding some shortcomings when it comes to specific routes/characters but it starts to feel kind of bloated when the core gameplay isn't as polished once the novelty wears off.
how is golden deer for soi boys when it has the most commoners AND Raphael?! Fuck you.

Appeals to reddit (Harry Potter & Le Fantasy Soya) while managing to appeal to 4channel's respective boards: Yea Forums & Yea Forums (due to the massive ammount of lonely underachieving men here), seeing as 4channel and reddit are one of the most popular sites it's understandable why it's doing so well in west with constant promotion.
You're welcome user!
Really? Wait, is she... Post OP tranny?
>That feel when you can't tell anymore if someone is actually retarded or just making a joke
I hate what the internet has become
basically this
it's just poorfags masquerading as console fags, either way though they're all giant faggots
I don’t know user. Tried to play it but my MC one shots every enemy. And the monastery part is annoying. Dragon Quest XI, Xenoblade Chronicles and Nier Automata were great games. This one not really.
these type games has been called as "キャラゲー" in Japan, in the sense of character exploitative game. in other words, "characters over substances". I think kyara-ge is old concept for Japanese though it has even flourished due to gacha-shit craziness now, but it finally hit the west partly due to SNS. people has got to consume and talk about characters, not gameplay itself, especially for weeby people (that includes LGTBs)
Even ports like bayonetta 2 and dktf got shitposted. People got issues.
>The Monastery should not be part of the game post timeskip
this, but replace it with a sort of camp. that way your professor ranking doesn't become pointless post-timeskip. also make it where you can only A and S support teammates that were at B rank pre-timeskip. C-ranking people post-timeskip clashes with the tone and story too much imo
Wow, people talk about the characters in a rpg? Holy shit.
Am I really the only one who gets the joke
Octopath was the first Switch exclusive that didn't get over 90 in review scores and consolewarfags jumped on that. It didn't help that there was misinformation spread about the game by some idiot kotaku writer who couldn't see the top right corner of his screen. You know shitposters have reached a new low when they're quoting fucking kotaku of all places.
Is it related to other Fire Emblem games? Can i just give this a spin if I have never played any of them?
Related question: Where should I start if I want to get into Fire Emblem?
>Is it related to other Fire Emblem games? Can i just give this a spin if I have never played any of them?
Yes.
>Related question: Where should I start if I want to get into Fire Emblem?
Hm... Maybe Path of Radiance on Cube. Note: Titania is an upgraded unit. If possible, avoid using her at all! Earlier FE games, Path of Radiance included, didn't have free maps to grind your chaeacters. If you didn't grind them equally, you are fucked.
Oh fuck me, I meant: yes, you can play 3H without any knowledge about previous games. It is not related to earlier titles.
Thanks!
They are very thirsty for their Persona knock-off.
np, have fun!
Support conversation in FE games is older than Persona. But good try.
Everyone admitted it was shit after the first month. Still remember a bunch of retards unironically saying it was GotY.
>On switch
>Accessible gameplay
>Able to turn back time even in classic mode
>Wide range of characters split amongst different factions allowing for waifubait, shipping, fanfic, relatability, etc.
>Able to recruit students and faculty to your faction if you so please
>Multiple routes where none give the full story and all four routes together grasp the full scale of the story thus giving argument to canon and timeline
>Anime-esque characters that are anime enough to attract a similar crowd like Persona 5 did yet not too anime to drive some away
>All 3 main leads are pretty great characters and thorough in their depth
I wonder why...
if you've never played fe before, will you enjoy this one? is it worth the 60 bucks?
I'm convinced this is the character they designed assassin animations around because she seriously looks perfect. Too bad she gets like 5 minutes of screen time. That DLC better be a proper edgy route, not some save the world bullshit.
I say so, either this or Awakening are great for newcomers albeit this story is better and so are the characters.
just play it if it looks good to you, it's not that hard to get into
>There are people ITT who actually ruined the game for themselves by playing it before Lunatic comes out
Awakening really fucked up this fanbase, huh? Have you people 0 self-discipline?
Wait, she will be in DLC? Does that mean... Byleth uses Divine Pulse when Kronya says 'plese, help me', or is something else entirely?
Sorry if the question is stupid, I didn't inform myself about DLC / pass.
PC-fags tend to be much more critical of games than console-fags are; look at what happened with Yakuza threads after that started getting PC ports.
I'm gonna wait for lunatic for my second playthrough.
I wish there was some route where you side with techno slytherins.
Also one with Brigid Uprising
>Same flawed game but now it's harder.
PC fags mostly just bitch because they don't actually play games, they just bitch about them on the internet.
>Groundhog Day plot
>bad
It’s like you retards don’t enjoy world-building and character interaction.
It’s entirely because of the stupid quasi-nazi looking bitch, and this board being nothing but cumheads
>Game of Thrones got a really shit ending
>Fire Emblem Three Houses does the political intrigue and leaders going mad much better and more maturely than GoT shit.
Probably lots of GoT fans that got mad at the ending and found the higher quality alternative.
This gamw for me is nice suprise same as xenoblade 2 turned out, a lot of serious shit, then some more lighthearted moments, big, well rounded cast and nice combat
What's the point of having a $2,000 computer if you can't flex on poor people online?
People just bitched how kiwami 2 wasnt very well optimized
Pc-only morons do this, thats true. But if tou're and idort, you're golden
Remember how the Dark Souls community turned to complete shit as soon as it was released on Steam? PC-fags don't actually like games, they just like to meme and shitpost.
Idort is the true path.

I wish they weren't so blatantly obvious with who was going to be a villain. I actually expected them to reveal that mask guy wasn't actually the Death Knight, but I didn't recruit Mercedes during the BE route, so he just disappeared forever right before the time skip.
You can have all consoles and you'll still be called a tendie or basedfag depending on which games you criticize. There are simply too many poor brown people here.
Im 90% sure the people calling Octopath shit are the steamfags and not the switch owners
No because everyone agrees that Bloodborne is top 5 this gen and pcfags portbeg for it constantly.
Agree with this though even though I'm only interested in MM2. I think it's the fact that so few games on the Switch stand out due to having the same exact bland anime aesthetic.
What are you talking about? There is hardly any Switch only games with a bland anime aesthetic
>Why are there so many threads about it and why is it selling so well?
For a single reason, and single reason alone. It's better than Fateswakening, and it isn't a remake.
The Fire Emblem fanbase has been so beaten down by the normalfag/shit-taste weeb boom those games caused (and reinforced by the Mobileshit game Heroes), that anything with even slightly more substance and originality, even the littlest, would be hailed as the next coming of Jesus.
So in other words... people who get their games cheaper and are able to judge them fairly instead of using them for justification in their console purchase?
>Octopath is not a good game. If they focused down on the solo adventures and then had 1 big adventure where the come together at the midway point and they all interacted at that point it could have worked but the way
Fucking this. I think the biggest let-down players have is when they finish their starting character's first chapter and realise their character has become a soulless mute until their next chapter.
All they had to do was make you play everyone's chapter 1 first ending with all eight converging on one location and agreeing to join forces (like how Wild Arm 3 starts), then they could have gone ahead with the knowledge that every character was present so they could have some fucking real dialogue going on at all times during the rest of the game.
Which house has the best lesbo romances?
Xenoblade, Astral Chain, Octopath, Travis Strikes Back, DXM, Fire Emblem
Xenoblade, fire emblem and Tracis specifically all look like they run on the same engine
Eagles has 2 of the lesbos right off the bat, with a third being pretty easy to recruit, but if you side with Edelgard you'll be locked out of the pseudo incest lesbo.
Then your previous statement still doesn't make sense because Xenoblade 2 + Torna was a hit, Octopath very slightly had an anime art style due to the graphic style and the anime portraits rarely shown and even then was a hit, Fire emblem 3H is a hit. And I have heard a lot of people looking forward to Astral chain, DXM and Travis strikes again did well enough to warrant the proper sequel.
The worst part about that is that the first 2 games did not run great on 360, at least for me.
>pseudo incest lesbo
Tell me more.
The Suicide House.
so a pretty faithful love letter then
No? Steamfags aren't typically JRPG fans, so why would they give a fair review. They are going to compare it with a MOBA, instead of the genre itself.
I dont get it either.
Gameplay is piss easy and boring
Only like 5 good girls to date
Music is mediocre
Dating sim elements are non existant and it's just 4 events
Story is above average but that's about it.
>pc players only play mobas so they're UNFAIR and BIASED
>but not switch owners who only play jrpgs and indies
>Bloodborne
No one is talking about it besides Sonyfags at this point.
Rhea is very mommy-like while also being vaguely related to the MC, but she's only available in the church route.
>Most mages in this game mostly NosTank to be able to handle one or two enemies because of their relative frailty and the fact that they only restore 50%
>Lorenz is so bulky compared to the most of them that he's borderline unkillable with it
SOUL Emblem
the only thing preventing me from buying this game is its ugly art
Oh, well. I thought about going Church for her but i'm not that into mommy gf stuff. Who's the best outcast weirdo lesbo?
Fucking reddit always talking shit about best girl Sothis.
I'm having trouble identifying all the men
The lack of detail compared to the Females is annoying
Gilbert and Alois on the couch, Linhardt is passed out.
Theres no such thing as a steamfag who gives an accurate unbiased review
Its either all 0s are all 10s
Every time.
Who is the long neck in the right corner. Is that flayn opening the door? Linhardt is gay?

Lesbians, that's all
Wonder if Byleth divine pulses all his satisfying farts.
>Who is the long neck in the right corner.
Claude
>Is that flayn opening the door?
Anette. Gilbert is her father
the one in the right corner is Claude, Annette is opening the door since you can fuck her dad (Gilbert) and yes Linhardt is bi, well all "gay" characters in FE3H are "playersexual"
There's a few that are Dorotheasexual as well.
Because it's Nintendo's Persona
>Annette is opening the door since you can fuck her dad
Oh shit i learned something today. Ive never done anything with Gilbert
Tokyo mirage sessions #FE is a thing
Okay, a GOOD nintendo persona
Seems like the series is really going down that route, huh
It has good looking and well developed/fleshed out characters both Male and Female. It is liked by wide range of people because of that.
>its a switch exclusive and the switch has no games,
Just how many times will this lie just be repeated? It's embarrassing at this point.
its a good game, its not mystery
Waifufags, and it’s hilarious watching them shit on Awakening and Fates in an attempt to pretend otherwise.
Fire emblem is consistently good. goddamnit I'm so upset by your post I could vomit.. Shut up, just SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm OCD and want to read ALL text in this game. How many playthroughs do I need?
23 picks my house.
Blue Lions
For the same reason Mario Level Editor 2 is selling gangbusters.
It's good. I agree.
Switch has many, MANY of the hottest PC games of 2013!!
Christ the Seethe is hilarious. How fucking jealous can you be? lmao
Cope. It's mentioned every single "top x" thread and I don't even have a PS4.
Switch has good exclusives but FE isn't one of them.
Black Eagles
Question, anons. If I don't recruit stuff in GD and BL run, how many teachers who teach Sword and Reason will I have in post timeskip?
Thanks for beta testing, user.
Not weeb enough
No really. Compare the character designs and the difference is clear an day
What about the church guys?
IS doesnt like to learn what works/doesnt when they make new entries, so probably not, just got to hope they somehow manage to hit all the marks by complete chance every following game
>ad nausium
Am*rican edukashiun lmao
There was always criticism of Octopath Traveler. FE:3H has less flaws of basic principle, at the very least, even if it looks like garbage.
>switch has no games
>gets more games
>" yeah but it has no games now, I swear"
There's a reason the PS3 nogaems meme was taken seriously unlike those posts
I tried to play it and lost interest. The game is too easy and the monastery part is boring waifu shit.
Clearly not as exciting as Dragon Quest XI or Nier Automata.
That'll be nice when the Switch gets the definitive edition of DQXI next month.
>Decent Game
>Appealing Characters
>Good advertisement
>Game Drought
Its literally Awakening all over again.
Except there is a playerbase on the console this time.
Because it's a great and I also love my wife Bernie, sorry you have shit taste, OP.
Sour grapes as fuck there, lad.
this is why
You dont fuck him tho, its a broship. Same with Alois. If you S him as a guy he finds you a wife. Homos btfo
Supports were a thing in Fire Emblem before Social Links in Persona.
How the hell is Switch in a drought? Its getting one big eclusive release each month at minimum until the end of the year.
>Why doesn't Japan like this game?
Gotta a source of that claim?
I have it on PS4 and PC. Not sure if they will get the new content.
