the map design is non-existent. The weapon skill system is kinda neat but everything else feels like...well it feels like it came out of a FE game on the SNES

given that it's a fairly faithful remake of an NES game, that sounds right on the mark

I'm not that far in but I was jonesing for a normal fire emblem so this is neat

I'm real sick of the time travel/waifu/pandering garbage that the series has become. gently caress anime for real, for every cool thing it does, it does 10 weird or lovely things that starkly remind me "oh you are not the target audience for this, friendo"

People always describe their favorite animes with compliments such as "it doesn't take itself too seriously" but my hot take is that storytelling that takes itself seriously is cool and good, and actually requires skill to pull off. That's why we all made ironic art/song lyrics/comics/whatever as kids or young adults, being "funny" and ironic is a nice podium you can stand behind and hide your insecurities in.

Wow this post got away from me. In conclusion someone point me to good animes that take themselves seriously and aren't 10000 episodes long

Also lol @ the "why do games have to be political maaan" whenever a developer dares target mainstream white American culture. Try stepping out of of your own head every now and then geeze

Truth.

Every Call of Duty game is ideological and political, it just happens to be the dominant ideology of the United States so it appears invisible to most people like fish in water


Persona 5 is an explicitly political game

This game is very specifically centered around domestic us politics as a backdrop, which makes the political chat worse.

Half of the maps are solved by the incredible tactic of "shoot them from across the map with arrows until they die" and the other half are solved by doing that with magic instead. Mobile units are pointless because they get murdered by archers and there's sometimes 20 or 30 of them, and melee units are pointless because archery doesn't have a minimum range anymore and they almost all have poo poo resistance too. Have fun!!!

I actually don't like the time traveling children either but the lack of Support Dialogue is like, #14 on why Echoes kind of blows. And I've been in love wth the series since the GBA game was first brought over to the west, I've seen some ups and downs, and I think this is the worst FE game they've ever localized. I'm sure the old rear end games are probably worse but they have a pass bc I never played them and they're Old.

Oh yeah I'm not saying people are claiming it's bad because it's missing x, y, or z. I'm adding my own impression of the game and stating that personally, I like being on generic Fire Emblem territory after the mess that was Fates. It wasn't a direct response to anyone in this thread.

The melee units are also stupid because there's no weapon triangle so there's no difference at all between anybody who attacks at close range. Just their defense stat

tbh romance stuff in games is usually implemented in such minor/lazy ways that I don't get people getting pissy or obsessive about it. In p5 it changes a few lines of dialogue and a few interchangeable scenes and that's it

spears and axes have higher damage but lower accuracy. the game never tells you this and there's no way to capitalize on it

Yeah, even if I thought the conceit of the FE kids was bizarre and completely wack in Fates in particular, it's mechanically fun to craft perfect stats babies by pairing parents up properly like Pokémon

Ironically, the whole marrying off your protagonists to get the right future babies thing is one of the oldest Fire Emblem mechanics and cannot be blamed on the dreaded Modern Anime at all. It was in Geneology of the Holy War, on the SNES!

I'm going to pretend that you didn't say the last part and recommend Hunter x Hunter and Legend of the Galactic Heroes. They're both a little over 100 episodes each, but they take themselves very seriously and are well worth a watch.

100 episodes each seems fairly tolerable, I'll check em out! An old college roommate absolutely ruined anime for me (he would watch the cringiest poo poo at full blast even when we had company over, why is a college aged adult male obsessed with a cartoon about japanese high school boys who get into awkward, sexually-charged situations, wtfffff jerry you weirdo and I thought your MLP phase was bad) but I've always been a fan of older 80's and 90's style anime.

Hmm on that note I never did finish reading Berserk, kinda felt like the story was going nowhere on that one.
