I tried to get into it two times and always drop it, it feels like I'm wasting time.Boring story, shit anime dialogues so it's just attacking red dots on a map for no reason. And I didn't even unlock the datingbreedingslop which I know I would hate.I've finished Shadow Dragon and Shin Monsho no Nazo over a decade ago and I remember kind of enjoying them. Did I just not realise how shallow this series is or is awakening just this bad.
Take a load off buddy, relax Guy!
The 3DS fills me with nostalgia it transports me back to the 2010s its hard to believe but in 2032 this game will be 20 years old
>>740653246Awakening and Engage are by far the worst in my book. Any other one is decent.
>>740653246>Did I just not realise how shallow this series is or is awakening just this bad.well, it's fire emblem.every story is the same ("evil empire secretly controlled by even more evil guys").among all trpg, fire emblem has the simplest combat.awakening is famous on 4chan for having "good story" but honestly it's only good compared to other FE. most of the fans just like the characters.i'd advise you to stay away from the series, it's not really for people who expect much
>>740653246Pair up is a dogshit mechanic that makes rescue even more busted, the map design is pathetic, the visual aesthetic reads like some shitty sword art online knockoff seasonal isekai and the supports are all about nothing because nothing seems to have happened culturally in a thousand years on this depressingly vacant version of Archanea's future. It had a marketing budget and was one of like 10 early 3ds games that was actually a video game and not some ridiculous attempt to emulate an iphone app through a nintendo license. Its over hyped beyond belief as the savior of the franchise, but the truth is that its slop that made enough nostalgia bait and fan service dlc to be considered innovative, and the only thing that saved the franchise was Nintendo not bending over backwards to fuck over the release of a fire emblem game with terrible decision making for the first time since sacred stones released
Awakening is by far my least favorite fire emblem because of the gameplay mechanics and level design, but it sounds like your complaints are broader than that. I doubt you'd like any games in the series.
>>740654238>Pair up is a dogshit mechanicOP here I first dropped the game after unlocking it. It just seems not fun to have a character relegated to just... existing somewhere but not actually using it. And it makes the unit underleveled so you have to do busywork and switch. Honestly the whole exp system in this series is dogshit, instead of thinking about the tactics it turns into "hmm I can ohko this enemy with unit X but it's high level so it's better if I use unit Y to damage it and then Z to kill it so they both get exp". I had way more fun with Hard West recently where there's no exp and barely any stats that can be increased so it's just all about tactics instead of combat being dependant on how many boring side stories you did to level up.

>>740653246>so it's just attacking red dots on a map for no reason. I think having a world map where you can grind and choose where to go/what to do next is legitmately making it worse for FE The old structure of moving from stages to stages gave each turn and each movement an importance, a purpose, like you're building towards something. So when that limiter is taken off each turn is just another turn, they're meaningless, cause you can easily replace it with another turn in the map battles
>>740654571>picking the self insert as best girlI get Robin's better than everything that came after but still. It's not hard to beat a blank wall or a generic good guy. Corrin for all their faults at least wasn't a generic bitch
>>740653246Play the game on lunatic/lunatic+ and don't reroll. Take time planning turns. You will enjoy it
>>740653246>Anime dialogueAwakening is effectively untranslated. It's American dialouge.
