Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave - Overview Trailer#NintendoTodayhttps://nintendo.today/s/aGNQbICtThe overview trailer and final trailer for the Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave game is out! Wdyt? Are you excited for the Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave game for the Nintendo Switch™ 2 system?
I pre-ordered CE, so yeah I'm excited. Hopefully I'll be able to avoid spoilers for the first few days since it won't come on release day.
>>747630348
Why is this Switch 2 exclusive though??
>>747630348how do i watch the video on pc...
>>747631816Why would it not be? Switch 1 had trouble running Engage and 3H.
What are people saying that have the game already? I know it's got the sim stuff, like three houses. But are the maps/core gameplay at least Engage maddening level?I want good core gameplay too not just Persona emblem.
>>747632136They're saying it's a return to form and they're having a blast
>>747632136>Engage maddeningFW doesn't have Maddening yet, why compare it to Engage maddening?
>>747630842If you watched trailers, character splotlights or the direct, you already got spoiled anyway
>>747632254I guess not literally maddening, i just want good maps.
>>747631816the switch 1 only has 4 GB of shared memory. that's why it runs on utter potatoes when emulated
my first route will be Cai
>>747632254both games are made by ISIS unlike KT making 3H
>Ike and Soren are GAY! What's your evidence? >They have an ENDING! Marcus and Merlinus have an ending together, are they gay? >NO NO NO but...Soren is broken and lonely! He clings to Ike for acceptance! That's called friendship. Ike shows no interest in him. >But...but...but...YOU'RE JUST A BIGOT There is a literal direct descendant that looks like Ike, talks like Ike, runs a mercenary band like Ike, and has Ike's literal sword named Priam >NO THAT COULD BE MIST'S (despite not sharing one quality with her even though this game is fiction and we overly obsession about physical qualities that can be linked back to the parent) ...right
>>747631735that's a huge penis shadow
why is there never an option to let my units wear their class headgeargive them hats!
>page 10>16 postsFE is dead, FW killed it...
>>747635682>he doesn't know
>>747630348Thanks shill-kun!
>>747635682The hype... is gone.
Fodlanbros I don't feel at home here. The women all obsess over status and crests and your family's political power. I like board games, food and alcohol. Where can I go that I would feel more at home at?
>>747636820crestless post
>>747637053>go to dagda>the crestless boy has his crush stolen by the crest-owner with half-nabatean blood
A FIRE EMBLEM THREAD ?ON /V/ ????
>>747630348It’s like a compressed version of the direct, opening with the avatar portion first tho. Still crazy to me they haven’t announced DLC yet. I guess when comparing to newer stuff on Switch 2, they don’t do that anymore, only post release.
>>747630348JP site also got updatedhttps://www.nintendo.com/jp/games/switch2/aacsa/character/index.html
>>747637147SWEEP US, EMBLEM OF MODERATIONTHEODORA THE JANITOR
>>747637503
Is there a list of playable characters and route-locked characters yet?
When are the reviews out?
>>747632483This is an RPG emblem, not an SRPG emblem. Unless you purposefully gimp yourself during the world map section, the game is going to be extremely easy, even on the hardest difficulty. You cannot have both engaging strategy gameplay and engaging RPG gameplay.
>>747637457I wonder why Maria is in others, wasn't she part of Leda's team?
>>747630348Why make it so woke?
>>747640270Holy shit you retards are outdated

Thoughts on the popularity of FW characters based on Twitter likes?
>>747640391>the highest male characters are the fodlanchadslol
>*makes fragile brownoids froth*
>>747630348Disgusting
>>747640391Jasmine has too many likes for a hog
>>747640354>Also lost his boatPeople keep saying Persona, but this new FE sounds more like Ys.
>>747637147Better delete it
>>747639605They are making female characters ugly on purpose now
>>747640640To be fair, the male characters are somehow worse.
I am going to bench every single male black/brown character. Except for Goliath, he seems cool, but the rest are hitting the bench for the entire game.
>>747640902>Except for Goliath, he seems cool
>>747640640She's an old hag. Old people aren't ever attractive.
>>747640902>>747641085He mogs.
>>747633249is it fun to argue with creations of your own mind?
>>747641245Reina existAlso just don't make her a hag
>>747640478>temporary recruit its over...
>>747641567Nyooooooooooooooooo!!!
>>747641567Similar with Castor in Cai's thing.

>leda was very literal when she said she was going to cut out bertrand's heart
>>747630348I've been ignoring most news on the game so I can go in somewhat blind, I just need to decide if I want to get it on release or wait to see if I can get a used copy for like $60.
i love leda!
was going to order a copy but why the fuck is it so expensive
>>747641840Olympia...
>>747641840>mu>"i could have been having ultand's chicken tendies with cai, tialla and peter right now"
>>747630348Goddamn, that looks fucking gay.
Really looks like too many systems and game modes for a Fire Emblem game.
>>747641840Mu continues her streak of looking concerned for her own safety in every cutscene she shows up in.
>>747640354DUDE STEALING
>>747640135>You cannot have both engaging strategy gameplay and engaging RPG gameplay.The shit you people say. What made you into such a zealot?
>>747641840I have 0 hopes for Leda as a character, she seems like she is just going to be a muh revenge focused character
>>747637147>A Metroid thread died for this threadWhat gives??
>>747641840>Such lust for revenge...
>>747642348The way her story is structured, I think it'll be less about her being interesting and more how everyone else around her reacts to her slowly going more and more insane with her revenge obsession. I don't care much for Leda either, but I sure am intrigued to see how Buccar and Mu deal with Leda's crazy ass.Also if Sirocco is going to be like her enabler, continuing to push her along her destructive path.
>>747641779I wonder if it's possible to get a satisfying ending while leaving her to die as a Balor puppet. All of her crew will go back to the future if possible, so we'll see.
>primrose>alucard>hood royTheodora is the only original character
>>747630348Can’t wait to not buy this for my Switch 2 and forget it even exists bc Fire Emblem is so fucking lame and brown now.
>>747640902>he doesnt try using every unit at least onceYou guys are boring
>japanese love ludiai thought they hated brown people...
>extremely advanced form of magic, powerful magic artillery, constantly burning flames, traversing within shadows, summoning and controlling crest beasts>THEO PUNCH>THEO BIG ROCK
>>747642332It's obvious anon. If you give players a robust map with many ways to empower, train and equip your unit's with powerful items, than your unit's will naturally become very powerful. And because it's open-ended, the developers need to account for sub-optimal play, some players will not be efficient and will waste their map turns.This means that the standard strategy elements will become fairly easy as a result. You either have compelling world map gameplay where you can make mistakes, which means you have to make maps easier, or alternatively you make the world map extremely forgiving (and superfluous) and make the maps difficult instead. It's extremely difficult to have both because the two compete. That said, if you optimize the maps for optimal world map gameplay than yes it's possible, but by it's nature it can soft-lock players very easily in that case.
>>747642932>pure girl>cute hair>tit windowLudia is a cute.
>>747642932Only if they have nog features
>>747642332They are diametrically opposed, the more you go in one direction the further you get away from the other
The portraits in this game are mostly very good and a big improvement over 3H, but a few genuinely need more shading. Kiroc's is one of them. His face looks very flat and strange because the shadows are not chunky and form-defining enough, basically just thin lines in a few places.
>>747643092Pure girls don't dress like that. She's used goods.
>>747642820>Theodora is the only original characterFE has toyed with the pissed off no-nonsense lord before, but it's nice to see them go all in with her. She actually does swing around her power/position, I'm guessing she makes retarded emotion driven choices in the moment and doesn't give a single fuck about who is in her way.An actually based Lord for FE and because of that she's going to be extremely unpopular with Japanese audiences.
>>747643073>>747643149Fire Emblem is a JRPG, you guys need to wake up. Play Advance Wars if you want an Intelligent Systems game that has few or no RPG elements.But stats and skills have always been core to the experience. There's a reason for the jav cav meme. That shit would never work in a game like Advance Wars. Even the strongest tank in that game dies under a few turns of intense attrition.
>>747643292I want a strategy rpg like it used to be
>>747643212>decks Cai right in the faceI will now play your route.
I'm allergic to nigger, can i play this game?
>>747643212AAAAAAIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEETHEODORA-SAMA I KNEEL
>>747643375It still is. Now you just hunt a horse with extra movement instead of it being handed to you through promotion. More simulation but same ceiling more or less.It's not like you can make a unit more broken than Seth. That's the ceiling.
>>747643292Old Fire Emblems tied the RPG elements directly into the strategy elements. If you wanted to level a unit, you needed to throw them into combat on the map, with the obvious risk of death and lost items. If you wanted good items or gold, you needed to spend a unit's turns navigating to locations on the map. If you wanted to recruit someone, it often meant bringing a unit to the map and carrying them to the recruit.There was no separation between RPG and Strategy elements, they were directly tied to each other. That is what made FE the franchise that it is. Modern FE seems to be moving further and further away from this type of gameplay.
>>747642932brazilian immigrants cured their racism
>>747643512definitely no
>>747643212I support hurting that weenie fag Cai and his little turd hair.
>>747642348Still beats the shit out of Cai's "le generic Shonen MC" energy.
>>747642348This but with Dietrich. The other 3 still have interesting route story setups.
>>747633249I want some of the copium Ike/Soren shippers are on. Its insane how delusional they are
>>747643837>Old Fire Emblems tied the RPG elements directly into the strategy elements. I mean, to a point, yes. But I think it's possible to oversell the strengths of this approach. It is not actually very hard to scrimblo in old FE. That's why you get tons of very casual relay gooners doing it for hours, essentially risk-free.Side objectives are always good and hopefully those return in FW.And I do miss on-map recruits, but that's been a weakness of nu-FE for some time now.I'm just willing to give this new system a chance. Tying a lot of the unit progression to a limited resource economy full of tradeoffs could be an interesting take on the formula.
>>747643512No, you will have an aneurysm while playing it. This is in the top 5 brownest casts of the year behind sports games and GTA.
>>747644146Fujos and alphabet people are famous for being delusional
>>747641505>Also just don't make her a hagWhy not? There's all kinds of people in a story.
>>747643212She grew on me and is now my favorite by far. I never thought I'd say this because I usually hate female protagonists.
>>747644761Certain people fit certain roles. Hags should be witches like Niime, no gun kata martial artists. Same reason you don't make a guy like Goliath a mage.
Cutesythea
>>747644958nta but gun kata martial artist isn't her role, that's just how she fights, you can just reclass her if it bothers you that much. Given that Troy is basically Theodora's aunt who's been working with her family for generations, it would be weird if she wasn't an older character.
>>747630348But is the gameplay going to be good?
>>747642759They already said you can go to part 2 solo so yeah as long as you skip her route you can kill her off.
>>747644218>It is not actually very hard to scrimblo in old FEI'd disagree, the risk of death means any bad play can result in your scrimblo dying before they become good.>I'm just willing to give this new system a chanceSee, I don't think this is really a "new" system. It's just the natural evolution of the hub world elements that have become increasingly more prominent since Awakening. We already have a pretty good idea of what it's going to be like given it's just the monastery but bigger and with more systems.Having played many games like this, it's often very easy to break these types of systems. On a first play-through, they seem fine because you need to waste time exploring and trying things to get an idea of the cost/benefit of any action. However once you've identified the big ticket items, it becomes easy to route because you know going to X and Y results in huge benefits while Z is a waste of time.
>>747642759>>747645379I wonder if the devs put in unique dialogue for situations like if you were to recruit Peter in some other route and bring him to the future, but you never did Cai's route so now he has to fight an undead version of his bro.
>>747643212Holy based
>>747643212It even shows in gameplay in exploration/combat too. She's the only one with access to the upper section of the capital which houses royalty. And her route allows units to use Gambits with equipped Battalions.
>>747631816Replay Three Houses on Switch 1 then look at gameplay of this.
>>747630348Have they confirmed Eshmel can S Rank ending? Everything's a mess and it's hard to find any real info. I just want to play the Avatar character as much as possible and marry cute girls.
>>747645413It's different from previous systems in that it has a currency that is exchanged for power & resources - turns.Despite superficially being similar to 3H in some respects, 3H didn't have a turn- or action-sensitive global currency, which you could incrementally exchange for useful resources. It had a schedule instead. "Do this task this week because I said so."In FW, for the first time ever, you're "timed" on your pre-battle prep. And you can't accomplish everything you would like to - this creates tradeoffs.The big question is whether the tradeoffs are meaningful (balanced) at this point but it's pretty new for the series in and of itself.
>>747646141no avatar romance for FW
>>747646141>I just want to play the Avatar character as much as possible and marry cute girls.Nobody knows about the S-Rank situation except whichever journos have finished the game already, but with the amount of romance talk we've seen in the game already it would be weird if the system wasn't in place, Eshmel has an A-Rank support with everyone and I don't think they'd put that in if you couldn't S-Rank someone after that.Oh, and you're going to be spending most of the game (assuming you're not bee-lining it towards the future route at the game's start) as a fat little bird that doesn't fight with anyone or really communicate with them outside of dedicated cutscenes and PERFECT BIRD TIME.
>>747646567>as a fat little bird that doesn't fightI unironically love this.
>>747646567Eshmel doesn't have C or B supportsThey aren't going to have 1 support -> Romance
>>747646632>They aren't going to have 1 support -> RomanceI could see it happening.
Thoughts?
Hit the girl with the PERFECT BIRD TIME, in 5 years she will still be soaking wet
Can we expect the developer interview by around midnight in Murica? It'll be the 15th for the Japs then. Or maybe it's intended for the 16th for them, and the 15th was only intended for us.
>>747646682my only thought is that the JP popularity poll is going to make a lot of Americans very angry
>>747646632>They aren't going to have 1 support -> RomanceAnon they let you marry Sothis in 3H and that included a grand total of zero support levels, you just jumped straight to S. If the A-Rank supports with Eshmel are lengthy ones, you could justify a romance.Maybe not the best justification, but enough for it to happen and not piss off someone who spent the last 100+ hours planning to put on a ring on Olympia or whoever.
>>747646303>>747646567>>747646632If there's no romance for Eshmel I'm skipping this. Unbelievable decision. I'm already upset about Eshmel barely being in the game. I just can't understand what the devs are thinking and I hope they won't repeat this structure ever again. Awful.
>>747647013>If there's no romance for Eshmel I'm skipping this.Can't know for sure until it's released.
this whole no avatar romance shit really does feel like dei look at obsidian games they HATE the player being able to romance anyone and it's all asexual friendzoned "found family" bullshit lmao
>>747647065nta but once the review embargo is done, I'm sure some review will mention if that is in the game or not.
I prefer no romance over making everyone bisexual.
>if I can't S-rank my waifu for 3 extra text boxes of dialogue I will be vewy angy >:(>btw avatar shouldn't have been in the game at all if I can't jerk my dick harderI genuinely hate that the series has become this for so many and I'm not going to pretend anymore. Fuck all of you.
>>747647320No, fuck you.
Shame Pirate isn't a class anymore, would have enjoyed Kiroc a little more with it's return. But confirms that I'll have Dietrich recruit him.
>>747646632I would guess the reason that they didn't do C-A supports for Eshmel is because you wouldn't have enough time to do that with as many characters since you're really only going to have them interacting with Eshmel for a single future route. Trying to build that many supports in such a short time with one character would turn into a massive pain in the ass real fast.
>>747647320its simply the fate that all games that add dating sim mechanics share. it will help get people interested but once you cross that line you can never go back to what it was.
>>747646141>I just want to play the Avatar character as much as possible and marry cute girls.I hate you and everything you stand for
>>747645290That's retarded, she'll keep her default outfit on cutscenes.Again, you can make her old and not ugly like reina, or you can make her a witch. She's not just ugly, she looks ridiculous.
>>747647487Then maybe they shouldn't have structured the game in such a flawed way to begin with.
ANATOLIA MY WIFE
>>747647629You hate everything about someone being straight and playing video games? So you're one of those.
>>747647320>>747647629Why do you care so much about what one anon wants to do in a single player game?If you want you could just skip all the dialogue, supports and story for 100% pure asexual gameplay and that's just as rational a style of playing a FE game as the local /v/ waifufag that's only going to recruit girls and kill off all the men.
>>747641853Sam Altman and tarrifs.
>>747646567>>747646632>all those complaints from 3Hfags that Engage didn't have nearly as robust a relationship support system or meaningful romance in that game>only to get this in the 3H sequel>and they barely get to play as the avatar you actually get to customize againThe most apex of keks.
ive never played a fire emblem game before, should i play this? i like anime waifu sims. spoonfeed me pls
I might not like many of FW's decisions, but if they cut romance Im fucking buying it. I'm so tired of avatar and romance troons!
>>747643723Ryoma can carry harder than Seth because of his retarded weapon. Put some ninja tits on his back, give him vantage, and just put him in a field.
When will reviews for FW start coming out?
>>747647768If you buy Fire Emblem games to date cartoon women, you are unironically in the wrong series. That's the part I'm tired of dancing around. All these retards need to fuck off. It's been almost 15 years since Awakening dropped.
why has my copy not shipped yet, this is oppression
>>747642348>I have 0 hopes for Leda as a characterDid anyone ever seriously have any to begin with? To me the direction they were going with her seemed obvious and generic from the beginning, ever since the game's initial reveal. It seemed like people always only cared about her for her design and Icanfixher fetish potential.
>>747647013cry more waifuturd
>>747647940They're the same lolRaijinto is not any better than a GBA javelin or a tome within its own game. It's just a 1-2 range murderstick. We've seen it time and time again.
PLEASE IS NO ROMANCEIT'LL BE FUCKING FUNNY
>>747647013waifufags lost3HRT won
>>747647881Start with either the two US-released GBA games, Awakening, or Engage as jump-off points. First two are easy & most closest to the old games, middle is ass-packed with content and shares the relationship -> children system from FE4, last one's a big "greatest hits" intended to introduce new fans to the older games, and has very good maps and gameplay quirks.
>>747647825Funny thing is, the only "avatar" romance I cared about is my ship of M!Byleth and F!Shez. I just like getting commissioned art of that.I always loved paired endings, because it's part of the charm of showing the epilogues for the units you decided to play withBut for 3H I cared more about gameplay improvements which everything I've seen about FW is doing what I wanted.>Varying gameplay/mechanics in routes, actually design them to encourage playing through them>Part 2 in each route is allegedly back to back battles with a wartime focus>Actual variety with exploration, not just being locked to the Monastery.>Fix up how the classes are distributed/organized, don't have everythign become mounts labeled as "Master">Smaller "core" for each team, to incentivize picking up other units to fill in what you're missing. 3H gave you 8 students in each class which pretty much covered everything you needed.
>>747648029It's harder to park a tome user in enemy lines and expect them to live since you need to get them the right skills first and they might not get them. Ryoma just werks right out of the box.
>>747647881>should i play this?Do you like strategy games? If you don't then don't bother. As much as /v/ talks about Fire Emblem being a dating sim, it's about as accurate as the claims that Persona is a dating sim. The reality is that you're going to be spending triple digit hours in a turn-based JRPG/Strategy game hybrid and the "waifu sim" boils down to a single cutscene at the very end of the game that lasts maybe 2 minutes + some ending text that says what your avatar and their partner did together after the war. It's a cute little bonus, not something worth playing the game for over an actual dating sim.If you are fine with strategy games then FE is a good franchise in the genre that puts more emphasis in making your units more than faceless chess pieces unlike other strategy games. Difficulty tends to be on the easier side, but you can find some really hard games that will work your brain pretty well and the fictional fantasy worlds they create are cool.
>>747648243It's really not. Just put any character in Oni Chieftain, equip them with horse spirit, and give them a Dark Knight or a General pairup. They won't die and you'll beat the game only occasionally using a vulnerary.
>>7476461653H did have turn limits. They just didn't matter at all (Which is what I suspect FW will be like).You literally have X action points with professor levels. You can spend them on raising weapon proficiency, fishing, gardening, arena, etc. In addition you have to choose whether to spend time on skirmishes or paralogues which you are also limited on.They could make an extremely tight and tactical world map gameplay. However it's highly unlikely they would do this. There are a few reasons.1. People want to mess around and explore. Not deal with the stress of figuring out an optimal map route to follow before spending turns.2. Normalfags hate difficulty, especially difficulty that could soft-lock you or lose hours of gameplay (imagine spending 200 turns and realizing on turn 180 that you fucked up).3. Deciding between story and gameplay sucks.Now maddening (if they add it) may implement that kind of challenge, but let's be real, once you know the route, the world map will never be interesting again. You already mostly know the optimal path for a challenge run.Reminds me a lot of persona gameplay, where the "world map" section of the game has only gotten easier and easier over time, inadvertently making the turn based dungeons a total joke.
>>747648219>M!Byleth and F!ShezExample of the art I like to commission. I love em so much.>>747648371On that note about "soft locking" I think that's why they have chapter select for each route unlocked from the getgo.
>>747642920theres like a billion units im not doing that
It's weird how with Eshmael they both went back on Avatar focus (one support, mostly silly bird) while still making them uber important to the plot
>>747642332If you ever touched feh it's not hard to come to that conclusion.
>>747647725I hate waifufags and every new fire emblem jerking off a player self insert character protagonist, fates bends over backwards so corrin can do no wrong, byleth is a fucking soulless automotan with no character, all the fake choice shit in awakening, TEA TIME i'm sick of it.
>>747647912>If it doesn't have the features I don't like I'm not buying it because I don't enjoy it>If it doesn't have the features I don't like I'll buy it to own the enemies in my headThese are not the same thing. You are mentally ill.
>>747647825it's funny how awakening expanded the "romance" stuff and expanded the supports specifically because they brought back eugenics from genealogy. both of those got carried over to fates, 3h scaled it back because no eugenics, engage scaled it back more because the ring system was intended to be eugenics streamlined, now fw has old men, divorced and widowed characters because it presumably won't have a gentoo. maybe the redditors will figure out IS only cares about that stuff in the context of the game mechanics.
>>747648371>persona gameplay, where the "world map" section of the game has only gotten easier and easier over timeOptimally playing the life sim stuff still fucks with people. It's not hard to finish the SLs you're interested in and max out certain ranks, but you do need to do some weird shit if you want a perfect run and I always see anons (cowards) talk about using guides for that part of the game.I think that's where FW will be, where you won't have an issue building a strong army with the free time, but if you want the STRONGEST army then you'll need to activate autist mode and figure out the optimal route for every chapter.
>>747647881Easiest way to find out if the gameplay is for you or not is to emulate Fire Emblem for GBA, it has a tutorial made specifically to introduce first time players to FE gameplay, and it features a cute girl who is many people's favorite waifu to this day.
>>747648642I've already been brainstorming off little we know. For example, Ursula in Dietrich's route will be fun, because with the upgrading/acquiring combat arts, and she has Convoy access, she can burn through weapons and keep on swapping in new ones.Seems like Hit Rate is a big deal with a lot of folks' personals. Looking forward to getting the full picture, because as I mentioned, seems like their intent is having you fill in what you need/want, instead of giving you a full cast of 8+ units from the getgo.
