Is this game really as bad as I've heard?

youtube.com/watch?v=XinIZmfKhwQ

Decent gameplay gets shit on by Fates autists
Story starts really strong but kind of loses steam by endgame, still never anywhere near as bad as the last two games
Presentation of it all is 10/10 and carries the game, god-tier character design and full voice acting, one of the best dubs in the industry

Fates is amazing honestly. Sure the maps are trash but the story and presentation is 10/10 kino. There are full voice acted scenes for character deaths that most people will never even fucking see.

And the character design is so good. If Three Houses had Fates character design it would be the perfect Fire Emblem.

When it comes down to it, it's an impeccably polished NES game. The presentation, voice acting, writing, art, music, etc. are all phenomenal but the core tactics gameplay is still NES gameplay with a few tweaks, and Fire Emblem can do so much better than that. And I hate how it screwed up Three Houses by removing the weapon triangle.

gameplay is the same as fire emblem games usually go
story is alright, berkut has a cool battle
music is top tier

That's fine. She looks good in thigh highs and a garter belt.

10/10 presentation, music, art. Stayed way too faithful to the map design, 2/10 maps

Both of those are garbage youtube.com/watch?v=-cnvE3jB1UI

>I hate how it screwed up Three Houses by removing the weapon triangle.
It's pretty stupid to blame that on Echoes when Gaiden didn't have it when it came out thirty years ago either, and Echoes was by far the least popular of the 3DS games. Three Houses doesn't have the weapon triangle because that's the direction they want to take the series in. And it practically does anyway, weapon proficiency and Breaker skills start making a huge difference maybe 1/3rd of the way into the game.

Ehhh, Breaker skills are only really worth it on your Avo tanks, and practically none of the enemies get Breaker skills of their own. I think removing it was a mistake because it makes every class feel so samey. There's no downside to throwing all your physical units into Wyvern Lord because you'll never be in a situation where you really wish you had a Swordmaster instead.

no
some of the maps are shitty but its pretty good overall

What's the best 3ds game?

The maps cant possibly be worse then three houses squares with trees

Almost killed FE again after all that Awakening and Fates did to save the franchise. Pure garbage.

Easily.

It's not so much bad, more like the maps are just bland. A lot of flat, open terrain without much room for more nuanced strategy. It's faithful to the original in that sense, but I wish they had tweaked things to make it more interesting from a gameplay perspective. Everything else is pretty good, I especially love the new character art.

>Three Houses drops Fatesawakenings pair-up shit, custom avatar and eugenics
>keeps Echoes' combat arts, no weapon triangle, and Story And Character Writing Worth A Shit
>fastest selling FE yet
oh no no no

Lirerally the best 3ds fire emblem

I liked the eugenics though

Before the thread dies should I play Path of Radience or Radiant Dawn first

Path of Radiance obviously. Radiant Dawn is a sequel to PoR.

I just started playing this. Where do I buy better weapons. I have good weapons for Alm and Celica but the rest of my crew gets rusty garbage.

>Decent gameplay
its fucking shit
kill yourself

Every FE has the same gameplay.

kid icarus uprising

Best artstyle, best music, best early levels, a story that's very basic but doesn't have giant Fates-level holes in it.

Also it's incredibly piss easy and I soloed the final mission with just Faye.

Mixed bag; worth a playthrough.

After just finishing Three houses I miss this game even more now. such a small % of three houses is actually the game

>run around the church and listen to pointless one liners from literal whos for 50% of the game
>""""quests"""" are all braindead garbage
what were they thinking

TH is literally just Fates but worse. Easily the worst game in the series.

Fuck off retard.

It's objectively the shittiest FE game of all time. See

>has Mila's turnwheel
>Combat arts
>white/black spells, spell list, and way spells are learned
>encourages immediate promotion and base stats increase to class's minimum on promotion.
>the same awful combat menu that shows you taking damage even if you kill them in on hit with 100% hit
>easy, even on hard mode

3H really does feel like Echoes 2 in some weird ways.

Echoes is a good-amazing game in pretty much every aspect EXCEPT the gameplay, which is virtually a straight rip from the original game since the director of Echoes had a massive nostalgia boner for it and wanted it to be as faithful as possible.
Still liked Echoes more than Fates overall, for what it's worth. Honestly speaking though, 3DS FE is a complete shitshow.

It was fun early on but after reaching Rigel I started getting sick of the game, Celica maps and her dread fighter entourage were lame, Alm’s route was okay but still bland at times, Slade’s boss fight was one of the lowest points. Was worth it for the music and voice acting but I wouldn’t play it more than once. 6/10, I’d say, far from the worst but not great either

Maybe GBAfe romhacks are more your flavor?

I see the "game is good and popular so we have to hate it, anonymoose is legun XD" sentiment has already set in

Whenever you see “worst of the franchise” or “it’s most hated game just see >>random post” that’s your cue to ignore the post, it’s a Barry clone

Echoes was shat on from day one by fateswakening fans who where mad that they didn't get another waif-centered game.

That being said, the gameplay is pretty one note, so after one playthrough its hard to go back and give it another romp.

not those guys
I did finish two routes in about 80 hours and id say its a good game, but the game does have major flaws that drag the whole experience down.
Those stretch from the actual gameplay, the map design all over to the monastery and the fact that they somehow made the supports less lively in 3D than the old sprite based ones

Alm's route is a 9/10
Celica's route is a 2/10 and im being generous

Devil Survivor

>they somehow made the supports less lively in 3D than the old sprite based ones
I can understand complaints about the limited animations but the writing of the supports is almost universally better than in the older games

Well, after they ditched the "MUST GET MARRIED" shackles of Awakening supports they got fairly good, but you have to admit there was a lot of contrived or boring garbage in the support system of recent games. Three Houses so far is an immense improvement in that.
