RPG site did a podcast preview and he got annoyed at the embargo so he basically gave a more detailed review on a few things.

-The hangout castle is mostly skippable, the boosts you gain are incredibly minor to the point that it's more for fun than three houses-esque chores
-The non-Emblem rings and gacha and all that are mostly useless, you eventually field all 12 rings so no one is going to use a fake ring instead.
-There is technically marriage, but it's less involved than even three houses
-He had the game since mid december, so every major site's impression is probably given enough time in the oven

The literal simple answer why emgage is getting less notice than three houses is because the game was annoinced in september and releasing im january.

It was probably to much to hope for S ranks and reclassing to be destroyed in this game. But if previews are to be trusted S ranks at least are dead and buried. So hopefully then next game can remove reclassing and the gamer after can remove player avatars.

And then Fire Emblem will be perfect.

Alear being renamable is the worst poo poo, because Divine One is way worse.

People complained about Denem being a static name for Tactics Reborn, but that would've been so much worse alternatively for the voiced lines, and you can have your cake and rename him anyway after beating it once.

It baffles me to this day that someone made a quick and easy "get both Kanas as whichever Corrin you prefer" patch, but "get both Morgans" is still, last I looked, something you have to break out the editing tools yourself for.

Persona 5 modding scene has only the Switch version of the game with a working mod to get Violet playable earlier to the point that the PC versions are waiting on it to be finished.

Call me crazy but I think Silver Snow works better than Verdant Wind. Not a lot of the plot beats make sense from the perspective of the golden deer, and a lot of it makes sense for the Church with Byleth in the driver seat (kinda... Having to lean on Seteth)

You're crazy, nothing makes sense from the church's side either. Everything involving the former black eagles, and while Claude fighting nemesis as the final boss is weird, why are you fighting Rhea a *month* after the penultimate chapter in Church route??

I think birthright gets too much hate thrown at it by proxy of being a Fates game. The story's not mind inducing, the systems of fates are fun in a more relaxing way. The only real problem is that it's way too easy even I could beat Lunatic, but that's like a grave F-tier sin honestly given that most of the population play on normal in other games.

Also, having a namable protag literally doesn't make sense when your money maker, FEH, canon names the character anyway.

It is a baffling choice that makes absolute no sense, because it's also like *way* easier to just have Alear as the canon name because...well, one it is. And two, no seriously why are we still naming the protag.

I'm surprised by how many people dislike Three Houses. It's still my favorite fire emblem and I'm cautiously eager for Engage. It did a lot of things I enjoyed while playing on casual/normal difficulty. I look forward to another casual friendly game to sink way too many hours in.

130k people are on a sub reddit for fire emblem, if you assume every single one hates fe3h

4 million copies were sold for three houses

Small minority is an understatement

You can accelerate an Emblem to max via bond fragments, but the long run is probably better to just enhance weapons probably?

Maybe supe up a Javelin on Louis since as a Knight, he's the only one that can do old school enemy-phase hit everyone.

[Weren't there some characters in past titles who moved so slowly that by the time they reached their opponent, the other characters had already finished the battle? (Laughs)

Nakanishi: Yes, in that context, I think even Armor Knights will be able to battle up front in this game together with Emblem Sigurd, who increases mobility.]

Oh they knew. Louis is easily the best combat unit and making hard mode pretty easy to manage.

Anyone have a feel for the difficulties yet? Three Houses on Normal was a cakewalk.

Absolutely don't play on normal, hard mode will take a lot of resets at first but you'll get used to the flow. The biggest downgrade is no future forecast for combat and arrow telling which enemy hits which character, so if you relied on that, welp now it's gone.

I mean, it's quite built for it. Building back up engage mode isn't a rare thing. You're meant to use these tools often, and maps start you off with a lot of enemies nearby in a mode that no one outside of armor knights can handle 3 combat scenarios.

That's part of why Louis is so good with Sigurd, because he's one of the only units that can overextend, not die, and build back the Engage mode easier since each combat round is 1 pip of meter.

Second Seal options for obvious targets: Clanne/Anna, but otherwise it's kinda hard to justify using them? Even sword soldiers have value because they promote into heroes which have better passives than a sword peg.
