I'm set on my house, but I'm still totally unsure which difficulty I'm gonna choose for my first run. Normally I'm not someone who really enjoys playing games at higher difficulty settings than the default one, but stuff like Awakening or Birthright have been so piss-easy on Normal that I basically had to choose Hard. On the other hand, Echoes was almost too tough on Hard, bordering on frustrating at times. I really hope they find a good balance this time, and that we get some decent impressions about the difficulty before launch (not holding my breath on that one, given the utter lack of skill most game journalists have).

lately they've been letting you go down in difficulty after the start, so just slap on hard if you're worried.

FE taking a while makes sense, it's a fairly slow game. Plus 3haus has the additional aspect of menuing forever even out of battle.

Unfortunately though just saying "oh yea a lot of hours" doesn't mean much, but if school phase is ~15 then it's probably pushing thirty chapters a story, which is fairly lengthy. That is all complete conjecture.

One thing I am lowkey kinda EH about is that if the school phase takes that long then effectively you're playing half the game over and over until you get to the route, and you can't just make an extra save as you're using different characters. That'll kinda blow.

I'll be honest I remember the generally negative opinions of the graphics and models following the Fire Emblem direct from a while ago but outside of the stockings I don't remember the specifics of what they were about at all. Other than that they looked not great.

the antagonists of the post-timeskip stuff will be the characters from the other houses tho

like i wouldnt be surprised if the villains of the pre-timeskip stuff are just those who slither in the dark but also i imagine they'll just be the catalyst for whatever pushes the three countries into conflict with each other

theyve literally talked about how you'll be killing the other house's students post-timeskip

yea but the war is set up by the evil cult gang to rez their evil dragon god and you tragically find out in the end that all this war was unnecessary and that the crests are to blame

you can do their hair color at the very least, though, so even that doesn't really make sense

if you can change the color of a texture you can also do light non-rigging changing model edits too

I think 3haus might be dad emblem as a theme, much more then awakening and fates which was both rather family centric in obvious ways

mc (and leonie) both have are tied closely to, you know, your dad/jeralt
annette has gilbert
seteth is his little sister's guardian
marianne is seemly characterized around her abusive? father
the protag trio aren't ruling during the school half, so there's that I guess

then all the other nobles list off who they're related to in their bios, though that's more for noble lineage admittedly.

that's a lot of dad

All the classes have been revealed. How do you avoid being outclassed by horse/flyer emblem in an FE game? In 3H, the answer is to make almost every final promoted class into a flyer or horse. Welcome to genealogy 2: the revenge of horse emblem.

catherine, shamir and alois all show up in this so I guess the teachers/supports might be recruitable too

Come to think of it, was it ever actually confirmed anywhere that Sothis and Rhea are the two spoilery wlw romance options mentioned by leaks/reviewers, or is that just speculation being repeated as fact?

no, and tbh I think the screenshot of the other romance options is fake at this point because otherwise a few more would've popped up to back it up, including, you know, the feminine other half...

I'm not sure about the leak being correct about that Black Eagles getting two routes because of the mention of four games in one, which would imply the fourth route isn't just a choice made in one point of Black Eagles routes. I'm betting the fourth route is with the church.

it can still split within the route to completely different scenarios

See, one of the numerous problems Fates had was that it totally glossed over worldbuilding for countries not named "Hoshido", "Nohr", or "Valla". They didn't even give a name to the continent it takes place on...

That said, there's those three, plus the island the Rainbow Sage lives on, and I think the place Izana came from was its own country also?

pretty much every character not directly within the nohrian and hoshido stable represents an individual country that "exists," usually for a single chapter

Yeah, actually;

Araxxor posted:

Well this turned my verdict from "wait and see" to "stay the gently caress away!"

In broadstrokes for a game that came out in the west, at least, three years ago that you probably played then, Fates didn't have a bad plot and it was comparatively fairly simple and straight forward, particularly if you compare it to Awakening in the same broadstroke. You have the Evil Empire is invading, the Emperor is possessed by demons go prove it and an evil background conspiracy is scheming to make countries fight. All three of these are probably[/b] the B-plot of a Final Fantasy game at the very least, the actual issue is the execution of it, not necessarily the plot itself.

Awakening, on the flip, [i]is
a bit weird as far as typical plots go; in the future the apocalypse happens so your kids come back in time to prevent the evil death cult from reaching it's goals and zombies keep showing up also the second act with Walhart rather indirectly follows this plot, go go. The comparison makes sense.


Ytlaya posted:

From my experience with Awakening/Fates, I'm finally gonna wise up this time and do Hard difficulty but without "units die permanently" on. Previously I did Normal difficulty with units dying permanently, and it totally sucked because my victory in stages was never in question, but I'd constantly have to restart them due to getting unlucky and having a unit get crit or something.

This has the same Mila's Turnwheel from Echoes, if you're familiar, so you can go back in tiiiiime a limited amount instead of outright resetting.

All but Hilda are what I expected. That has interesting story ramifications - the other two are thoroughly devoted to their leaders, whereas Hilda is the spoiled, lazy girl of the bunch - a very different person to be the one you can't sway away, and who presumably will have some more story presence. Could be cool!

She's also Claude's direct retainer, so.
