Alear looks stupid and I dislike the engage mechanic being based in nostalgia. I am also worried about how strong the Break and Engage mechanics will be. Everything else looks cool. Rosado is cute, Hortensia is cute, Ivy is cool, the female armor knight whose name I cannot remember looks cool, and maybe armors will actually be good this game!

3 houses absolutely has a lot more nuance than most fire emblem games (or at least it does the nuance better than 'blood pacts' or 'but she loved him though' did) but I think making broad assumptions about the story is kind of premature.

Zore posted:I mean the game has functionally removed player avatars with Byleth (and from the previews it sounds like Alear is following in that tradition). There is absolutely nothing customizable or reflective of the player about either of them, functionally they're equivalent to an old school FE protag if they had a gender option and like 2 more choices to make per game. If Byleth wasn't intended to be a player avatar they would be voiced and have dialogue that isn't player chosen. The game will straight up give you dialogue 'choices' with one option if they want Byleth to say something. They're intended to be a player avatar, they just didn't allow you to customize them because they are in pre-rendered cutscenes and they didn't want to do the Fates thing of having them be in first person.

mycatscrimes posted:Honestly though, and I accept that I'm in the minority here, having full voice acting and animated cutscenes adds so little to the game for me that I'd definitely trade them away to get rid of the weird 'not a character but also can't really be an avatar' quasi compromise we seem to be stuck with. I mean Robin was from a game without full voice acting and all the animated cutscenes were in first person, so that wouldn't solve anything.

mycatscrimes posted:True, I was responding to the assertions that the presence of those things is why we can't have a customizable protagonist. We can't have a customizable protagonist because making pre-rendered cutscenes exclusively in first person was annoying.

mycatscrimes posted:Hence my original post where I would be happier just not having cutscenes. You don't have to agree with me, I was strictly stating a personal preference, not determining the future of the series. I thought you brought up Robin and first person cutscenes in response to that as an acceptable compromise or other alternative? Otherwise I'm very sorry, but I didn't really follow your point. I was saying that getting rid of cutscenes wouldn't stop the 'not really a character not really an avatar' situation, as evidenced by Robin, who was very much one of those situations and wasn't in a game with cutscenes that showed them.

Endorph posted:eh, meg can sort of contribute a little bit in her join chapter but getting long term use out of her requires some favoritism. if you do put that favoritism in she helps a lot in the dawn brigade's part 3 chapters, but she's still not amazing. those gamefaqs guides were basically right about them not being very good. Doesn't she get ORKO by the tigers?

The Dawn Brigade being tier 1 when everyone else (except Jill for reasons) is at least tier 2 does a decent enough job at making them the scrappy underdogs on it's own IMO.

It's not like not buying the game will make the next fire emblem come any faster.Delphisage posted:I just don't want to go though the same headaches I did playing FE14 and Xenoblade 2, where I keep wanting to throw my game out a window while people tell me I'm at fault for not liking it. Can't I play a style of anime that doesn't feel pandering? Since all anime is pandering to someone, no.

We've been having these issues since at least FFX over 22 years ago, you'd think people would have figured this out by now. Hell, you want people to be able to rename Byleth? Jeralt has a last name, just make everyone call them Professor Eisner instead of just 'Professor'. Give Alear a 'divine' name that everyone calls them by in voiced dialogue because that is what you are supposed to do with gods or whatever.

Three Houses wants to be a morally grey conflict and mostly succeeds but just cannot resist adding in a completely evil faction of ugly dudes (with one hot chick) that does all the real bad stuff.

Endorph posted:the golden deer route asked you to consider if the developers of dynasty tactics 2 were really up to the task of making a fire emblem game with four routes and if reusing the silver snow route almost completely was worth pretending claude was relevant I mostly like how they just gloss over Silver Snow entirely.

Season pass stuff makes more sense when it's a game you are expected to replay or the season pass is expansion stuff. Also not a fan of most of those DLC Emblems. Bleh.

Game is out for predownloaders. Also one day Fire Emblem will stop starting games with a flash-forward. Awakening had a reason to do it, guys! I dunno if this game has a reason to but Fates and Echoes certainly didn't.

Finished chapter 6. Game is good though it suffers from the same issue Fates does where there's this time critical event but you can still go back to your castle and do push ups or whatever, even if some people push you to do the next chapter now please. Anyway game is good I am already putting Marth on Céline because the fact she can use a melee weapon with that skirt is hilarious.

Endorph posted:frankly armor units being able to turn off one of the game's core features feels a touch much, though i never thought he like, literally broke the game, he just seems a touch centralizing, at least on hard. personally id have just made armors immune to the first break each turn. I have spent years with bad armors. I deserve overpowered armored units for at least one game.

On one hand, a lot of the Alear worship is annoying On the other hand I love Clanne and Framme being the founders, co-presidents, and only members of the Alear fan club. That is funny.
