I definitely think that it’s status as a good RPG in the early days of the 3DS helped. That, along with friends being excited for new FE, caused me to buy Awakening, even though I had never played an FE game before and didn’t really know what it was. (Awakening didn’t grab me enough to make me an FE fan or even finish the game, but that’s a different story.)

It’s easy to forget now how dire the 3DS’s library was now that it’s so expansive, especially for JRPG fans. But in the early years of the 3DS, there were so few releases. I primarily played DS games on my 3DS for a good half a year myself.

I imagine another downside, in addition to the fact Byleth has to get skills for them and you don’t have time for everything, is that they’ll have limited support options. Probably just Byleth and whoever they share a support with naturally that you pilfered/joined after the time skip.

I was gonna pull out that quote about Genealogy too! I like that it's an explicit inspiration (and obviously adds to my hope of an eventual remake if they're thinking about that game a lot).

It makes sense too. It seems a lot of the mechanics are refinements of Genealogy’s.

Dancers are interesting. I wonder what the best class path for them will be, with the focus on sword and authority with some magic. Since they are a master class, it seems you kinda need to plan in advance who’s going to get there.

All these magic classes make me hopeful.

Gay male options confirmed, or at least a couple more. Very minor recruitment spoilers.

One of them has already be stated to be married in prerelease materials, so I kinda doubt this leak.

It also doesn't make sense that two of mByleth's three gay options are teachers when three of dByleth's five gay options are students.

The more ??? thing to me is why there isn’t an even number of gay options with a similar divide between number of student and teacher options.

SyntheticPolygon posted:

I swear that leak mentioned Mercedes as an option and that Linhardt was the only gay option for guys they knew about but there could be more. But maybe I am getting leaks confused.

Also, I thought the person who posted about how 2 of the gay options for Female Byleth were spoilers and the person who posted the options for Male Byleth were different people and so I just assumed the former didn't want to reveal the teachers were recruitable or something. That's my bad if those were both from the same person though, I wasn't intending to spread misinformation. Even if posting about leaks of not 100% accuracy is basically that.


They definitely said that Linhardt was the only one they knew of but that they had been told there was more.

Dude I’m literally a wlw too you don’t need to rant at me.

We don’t even know that those other two even ARE the other options, the previous leak mentioned Manuela as an option who IS an older woman.

Yeah there's a few really solid beats like that. Annette has an axe proficiency too.

I am HERE for axe mage.

But seriously, considering the limited charges mages have (I think a saw a screenshot where Thunder had 8) it might be very useful for magic users to be able to use melee weapons as well, depending on how long the maps are.

Endorph posted:

Personally I'd prefer if there was no self-insert protagonist at all, but. Like obviously a game needs a main character and I don't mind the option to pick their gender/rename them but you can just, make them a normal character in the plot, not an extension of the player.

This is me tbh. I know people like to self insert and roleplay, but it always feels really awkward to me. Like, I named Mark after myself in my first FE7 playthrough and felt super awkward every time a character would turn to the screen and address me by name. Every time I S-support someone with Robin I turn away from the screen because characters looking me in the eye and telling me they’re in romantic love with me gives me severe secondhand embarrassment.

And that’s me being a dork but still. It also makes it so that the Avatar can never be acknowledged to have screwed up so that the game doesn’t insult the player, which leads to a boring MC who never fucks up and has everyone kissing their rear end constantly.

Which I know happens with other FE protags as well. As much as I love him and PoR, Ike gets out of way too many social faux pax by the power of being the protagonist. But it feels worse with Corrin because the narrative isn’t just kissing their rear end, it’s kissing your rear end as the player.

SyntheticPolygon posted:

Awakening especially has several cool or interesting relationships but you have no idea which ones they are because you've got so much choice. And by volume I think most are kinda plain with S Ranks being super awkward.

Yeah, the supports and especially the S supports were hampered by the fact that every support has to be both platonic, in case the characters are already married to other people or the player doesn’t choose to pair them, and romantic.

Which means in practice they’re platonic supports with a sudden proposal at the end.

It means that when I do my Black Eagle run I can't go FULL MAGE, which is the most important part of any FE game.

It also makes it harder to recruit Black Eagle students into other houses. :(

(Hi, yes, I'm the person who always makes sure to bring Soren and Pelleas to the tower in RD so I can field four (4) mages in the game that nerfs the poo poo out of them.)

No leaker please tell me about the spoiler! What if I get 32 hours in but I can’t do a thing because I’m not at B charm. I need to know if I have to obsess.

Please I have anxiety I can’t handle video game decisions blind.

Famitsu reviews are translated, apparently you can just submit scores without finishing a game because most of them are still in pre-time skip.

Charm doesn't have skill ranks, it's just part of your stats like STR. Are you thinking of Authority? Because I don't think we've got a clear idea what leveling that skill actually does yet, other than something to do with access to battalions and being required for some classes.

And yeah, Famitsu reviews are mostly a joke - case in point, Fates got a 36/40.

Oh god that's worse. What if I get RNG screwed.

They might, just might, have a single line in a cutscene. Aside from that, expect nothing but grunts and battle quotes.

I know one person on Reddit who says they’ve played the game said that Byleth basically spends the game nodding like a Persona MC.

Which will really make their supports boring if true.

If no one in this game references Shanty Pete it’s a 0/10.

20 hours is about the length of most FE games before this so I’m fine with that.

Also because there are like. Five other routes to do.

Nov 28, 2014



I mean keep in mind you can still equip any weapon you want regardless of class, with the only exception being that you can’t use magic outside a magic class.

So there’s no sword focused Master rank classes, but you can still use your A rank sword and mastery skills from lower tier sword classes.
