>>748724143So what was the point of Engage?
>barely sold as many copies as flopgage
>>748725581To silence the less than 1% but extremely vocal portion of the fanbase who INSISTED that pure gameplay was superior to the 3H formula. They gave them a chance, and it proved them wrong.
>Saddam invents Guy Appreciation Day>Saddam: “Happy Guy Day!”>Guy: “What?”>Saddam: “Today we're celebrating Guy.”>Guy: “…Why?”>Saddam: “Because you're a great guy.”>Guy: “That's actually rather—”>Saddam: “Not you.”>Guy: “…”>Saddam: “Some other guy.”>Guy: “I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN.”
>>748727020>gameplayfags don't talk about Engage anymore, relays are typically done with games like FE7 or 12>CYL8, 9, and 10 didn't have any Engage winners, so the fanbase rejected Engage's castI would feel bad, if IS didn't spend 6 years on that game. Imagine if 3H had 6 years.
>>748727020Three Houses, Engage, and Fortune's Weave all have tedious hub worlds, they're all the same kind of game.

DLC when?
>>748727020It is superior but normies dont actually give a fuck about gameplay and never will
>>748725581I never played it. Personally I found the main character and the general art style repulsive. Summoning nostalgiabait was also not at all interesting to me.
>>748728124>nigga emblem but none of the women have nappy hair, just the men
>>748724143KEK
Pokemon scarlet and violet are better video games than the entire fire emblem franchise because it sold more copies than all fe games combined
>>748728475Consider more people agree with this statement than not.
I don't like hub worlds i want to go from mission to mission like in the old days
>I won't be denied!
>>748728124the entire bottom row is all baddies
What am I not seeing that others are? I Think Noctula is one of the ugliest fire emblem girls
>>748728663Rare Gambler mention.
>>745570573What did he see?
>>748724143Uhh chud bros...our new cope?
How long until AI becomes able to jailbreak the switch 2 so I can justify buying one? So far it only has one good exclusive, at least until the new Xenoblade comes out. Every other exclusive is over priced goy nip.

>>748728772Big boobs, chocolate, tomboy. In fact because she has no real character to start, she is saved from IS's classic tomboy character assassination writing.
Need more big sister type characters that sexually harass the little brother protagonist
>>748728772I don't see what you're seeing.
I think I'm only playing this series because I'm hoping something will capture the sheer aura of GBA era generals and nothing has so far. Between the satisfying metal clanking every time they move and the chain on the spear it's just absolute peak.
Mikaela is such a bad mother holy shit. How is your entire personality revolving around being motherly but you're a dogshit parent lmao.
>>748729238Yeah pretty big L
>>748729191the spear chain is too whimsical for troonFE
Just jumped into Leda's path, last of the 4. Olympia supporting with Goliath and Tobias speaks to me. Also Sirocco is much cooler than I had anticipated.
>>74872943660% str growth each. Doesn't lie
Leda is such a hateful bitch.
I don't think he's gay. He's just severely autistic
>>748724143NOOOOOOOOOOOO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>748729436Sirocco is the real hero of Leda’s route
>>748729876Same

>>748727020Except it didn't even have that.
>>748730107he got that gamer posture
>>748730107Does he ever give audiences? His face is still backed out for me even though I’m at lv 2 blessings
I still shan't buy.
>Leda almost level 60 in part 1.Maddening mode will have to be actual cock and ball torture for there to be any challenge.
>>748724143Cope of all copes
>>748729876He's autistic and wants Big Agarthan Cock up his ass.
>>748730307I genuinely dont understand how you faggots let this happen. Most of my units are around 35 by the end of part 1. Do you just endlessly grind one unit during your free time?
>>748725581To make a good video game.
>>748730334The number that scares the Engayger trannies
>>748725581Anniversary title that got delayed too long because of COVID
>>748725581It was supposed to be a celebration game to get 3H players to buy other Fire Emblem games, except at the time of Engage's release:>1, never came out in English>2, never came out in English>3, never came out in English>4, never came out in English>5, never came out in English>6, never came out in English>7, on gba, was on the 3ds eshop but they killed that, was not on the switch eshop>8, on gba, was on the 3ds eshop but they killed that, was not on the switch eshop>9, on the gamecube, notoriously few copies made, could only buy used>10, on the wii, even less real copies made than 9, could only buy used>11, on the ds, could only buy used>12, never came out in English>13, on the 3ds, they killed the eshop, could only buy used>14, on the 3ds, they killed the eshop, could only buy used, revelations never got a standalone physical release by the way so the only way to buy it is to find a special edition in the wild>15, on the 3ds, they killed the eshop, could only buy used>16 is three houses>17 is engageSo it was shilling games nobody in the west could buy. Not sure if they've re-released any of these since but at the time the only FE game you could buy if you somehow started with Engage and wanted to check out those cool characters was 3H.
>>748730216He doesn't appear until part 2
>>748730468This route specifically I'm just rushing through and doing a Leda solo. But even in the other routes Dietrich and Theo were like 47~.There's just insane amounts of exp. I've just been doing her performances so I unlock classes.
>>748727313>CYL>the fanbaseCYL doesn't represent the interests of the fanbase, because the majority of FE fans do not participate in CYL.>Imagine if 3H had 6 yearsMaybe then it wouldn't be total dogshit, but somehow, I doubt that.
>>748730618If they couldn't beat engage numbers with how hard they sold out to DEI and normalfaggots then its a certified flop
>>748727485>one slight similarity between them>this means they're the same thing
>>748730468How are they so low? You get to a teamwide average of 35 literally skipping every single objective and just auto leveling combat between chapters.
>>748724143>the Engage victory lap lasted literally one dayLMAOOOOOOOOO
>>748730948Engage victory lap will last until a new FE comes out.
>>748730905But they did beat Engayge numbers. And with a console with less circulation. Its over engagies. You should have never allowed a tranny character
>>748730948Cope >>748730334And even if it did, only TWO THOUSAND more? With riding off Three Houses name? And being one of the few games on the switch 2? What a colossal flop piece of shit
>>748731037>next FE game>more Sothisverse slop from Kusakihara>fantasy China>there are six half-assed routes now (from a planned 12).>the avatar gets whoever they S support stolen by the emperor to become his concubineThis is the future Japan wants it seems.

>>748731371>IT'S BROWNSLOP!!>mf probably has a whole folder dedicated to Fogado and Timerra
This game has to fail; not even joking.If it succeeds, it means that Nintendo got away with>charging a premium price for an unfinished game>padding out 50% of the game's runtime with worthless chores>shitting on the avatar, making them an actual cuck, and not letting them marry bitches/dudesFE is done if it doesn't flop.
>>748725581Why is thia bitch so useless on hard mode? Her atk stat is dogshit
I have given up on Cai's War Arc mission 4 and will resume it after clearing someone elses story for more boons.
>>748731596bro? your levin sword? your forged weapons?
>>748730657>Anniversary title which wanks each of the main series Lords.>Inherently panders to old men who have been following the series for 30 years, as a result.>Decide to try and make the game heavily approachable to newcomers/younger audiences.I will never understand this aspect of Engage, almost feels like a mandate from on high.
>>748731701Where do you even get Levin Swords?
>>748731591Even though OP's numbers are fake, the game sold perfectly fine at launch, even if it has no legs it isn't a failure.
>>748731591>shitting on the avatar, making them an actual cuck, and not letting them marry bitches/dudesAre you retards still repeating this? You fags have no shame?
>>748731752Vandal trading companyJester also comes with one
>>748731701Not like her mag is any better. So useless that levin is better on someone with a mag stat
>>748731116But it did sell more.
>>748731752I got one super early on Theo but I don't remember where. The rest you can buy one from the trading company like chapters 5 or 6
>3HRTs trying to claim FW's glory even though they don't like it and didn't buy itPathetic.
>>7487307051 was already on the Switch before Engage2 is the same shit as 14, in fact it uses 14 as a base6, 7, 9 and 10 were known thanks to SmashfaggotryCorrect on 3, 8, 11 and 12 but you cover 3/11 with 113, 14 and 15 were still available on the 3DS eShop (it died like 4 months later, remember Engage was supposed to be a 2021 game)
wife
>>748731814Kusakihara finally did it...he made me like Flavia.
>mfw giving Guzran the greatsword.Close enough to Guts
>>748731771>the game sold perfectly fine at launch>lowest launch in the series since RDYeah no that shit's a FLOP.
>>748732041I forgot which town sold it :(
>>748731973of Cai
>>748731771Worst opening in 20 years, no Chinese virus to boost its midlife sales. It's flopparoni and cheese.
>"The next FE is gonna be a Imperial China themed cap off to the Sothisverse trilogy!">"No, the next FE is gonna be a back to basics game, probably a remake!">the FE Shadows console release on September 17, 2028:
I've never seen so much hate within the same fandom. What causes this? Like the only comparison I have is how Persona fans treat SMT fans. But here is more rabid. And it's literally the same series, same games in the same consoles.
>>748728551His route almost made me quit the entire game. Fuck coal burners.
>>748732224Too many browns and autistics
>>748731784>no no it's fine because a few characters vaguely allude to liking the avatar in their S support/paired ending.>just ignore those same characters getting much more explicit romantic paired endings when paired with anyone besides the avatar>just ignore all the characters who get platonic best friends ending (only happened previously with some older or married characters)>just ignore the characters who flatout reject the avatar like Halvin>just ignore the heavily implications of who the avatar is and what that meansAvatarfags got FUCKED in FW; you can't deny this.
Has anyone ran a magical Mu? I'm considering making her a priest with a salamander
>>748732224The games could not be more different. What the fuck does FW have in common with old FEs at this point?
>>748732224Black people are just disgusting, and this game is at least 60% black. It is still a good game but I would never blame anyone for not paying for it just because the nogs.
Engage is a great game
Shame that Catania fights for a roster spot with Guzran. He's superior.
>>748732224It's almost like we had a game come out that bought in an entirely new fanbase who never played any of the games before or after, nor did they want to, and they spent 3/4 a decade pissing on other fans and posting sales numbers while declaring superiority every goddamn day, or something.
>>748732224FE is a schizophrenic series that changes itself every few entries. 2 is nothing like 1-3, not only are 4-5 nothing like 1-2-3 but despite using the same engine and being part of the same story 4 and 5 are basically polar opposites gameplay wise.6-7-8 are all on the GBA but only 6 and 7 (lol) are really similar.9-10 are continuations of the same story but they're on different consoles and play very differently from each other.11-12 are sort of remakes of 1-3 but even then they have mechanical differences from each other.13-14 are both on the 3DS and have pair up and child units but implement them completely differently.15 is a remake of 2 and 2 is already a black sheep in the series. 16 is nothing like any of the other games.I would be more surprised if anyone out there actually liked all of FE. That would be the genuine mental illness here.
>>748731771>people call Engage a flop and a failure >FW sells less>"Erm actually it isn't a flop!" So many shills just because the game is brown
HOW CAN SHE SLAP
So glad this is a serious game without any anime shenannigans
This is unironically how it was before Engage: nobody wanted to play 3H so all we had was shitposting.
>19/20 local dancesFUCK I MISSED ONE
>>748732590This looks terrible, Jesus Christ. Is IS becoming Game Freak tier?
>>748732596big black axe (metaphor for her futa cock)
>>748732574You sound diseased (mentally)
>>748732572Don't forget that 16 and 18 introduce social sim stuffs, yet 17 somehow added personas
>>748732646I mean they're about to go below GF tier considering what their game looks like.Its really weird; did they think an important part of TH was looking and running like dogshit and tried to emulate it?
>>748732646You jest, this is actually better than 3H so IS is improving, whereas GF only gets worse with time.
>>748732572I like all of Fire Emblem, though I don't love all of it.
>>748732691He's a SEAnigger
Can enemies not crit in Fortune's Weave? All the enemies seem to have either 0 crit chance, or such a negligible chance that dodge cancels it out. Is this just a part 1 thing?
>>748732213>yuricuck game for troons
>>748732596Dyan is a much better example of anime shennanigans than that big axe. FW's setting has demigods with enhanced abilities and even distant descendents of these people are stronger, anyway.
Can we get an FE where the character artist draws lewd females? One thing I loved about Engage was so many women were all titcows. I demand bigger but made more lewd.
>>748733067only black and troons from now on
>>748733067this but with hebes
>>748724143The numbers should be higher. What else are people playing on their Switch 2? I didn’t buy FE and I haven’t turned my Switch 2 on in over a month.
>>748732572Most series are like this to an extent, the core gameplay remains but you get gimmicks. Unironically i do "like" all of FE but its sure as shit not evenly.>>748732805Except GF does unironically improve each game, just at a glacial pace until Wind/Waves. They're also get this; making a much harder to actually make game. This bedshit is attached to a game that is basically a theme park.Also TH wasn't even fully IS and you know what was? Engage which happened to look better than this on worse hardware.>>748732867The only person who seems cucked here is you frankly.
>>748732224No one here buys or even plays video games anymore. They just want to whine, shitpost and goon all day.
>>748733129FW flopped; we're going home.
>>748733183>unironically defending Gamefreak and the absolute state of pokemoncome on man you can choose literally any other developer or series to support your argument that IS are hacksGF is the only company that are bigger hacks aside from maybe Level-5
Purityfags insiting Dagda's shenanigans are not canon are funny, one of the villains of the game is Dagda's grandson who came from Dagda's human son impregnating Dagda's Nabatean wife.
>>748733318>Etie, we're leaving.
>>748732863>Can enemies not crit in Fortune's Weave?No, it's been well noted that they cannot. The dominant theory is that at one point during development they must have been able to, because there are so many crit-denying effects in the game like Emergis. So at some point they patched out enemy criticals...for some reason.
>>748729876Most people can't understand a love or beauty that transcends a bestial desire like sex.
>>748733390Buy the ability to be crit as DLC, only $29.99 plus tip!
>>748733323Its not a point about defending, its a point about how even the class clown is doing better than this.GF is slowly learning shit like avoiding tiling(this is real by the way, it takes until SVs DLC) while shitting the bed consistently. And the point about them choosing something way above their paygrade is also relevant.And WW is clearly a huge step up due to the hardware, rather than something that legitimately feels near identical to their switch 1 release. WW will likely still be bad, but that doesn't change that IS has completely undershot them.
>>748732863>>748733390what? lol is this true?
>no weapon triangle>no crits Not a fire emblem game
Please tell me Cai's path isn't just playing in the sewers like a dirt monkey.
>>748732224Fortune's Weave has a reason for the vitriol, it's the result of development in-fighting and the game trying to appeal to too different groups.The game was marketed as a Three Houses follow-up, but the director wanted to make an Echoes Shadows of Valentia sequel.Echoes and 3Houses are TWO VERY DIFFERENT AUDIENCES, in Echoes the game revolves around your lord and no one else is important, in 3Houses everyone has their own pasts and backstories that tie in with each other, their faction and country. In Echoes, women exist as playthings for a fixed love interest, while in 3Houses it's Awakening/Fates free form pairing.
>>748733605No, you just do it twice. Once to meet Aurora, and once to meet Castor.
>>748733717Woof, got scared there for a bit.
>>748733605Farming and raising mounts
>>748727020No, what killed Engage's sales was it looked like Vtuber vomit
Does this game have a panty collage yet like 3H did
>Dagda is a fat bastard that abuses amd rapes women, has a huge harem, tortures entire ethnic groups he dislikes, and cooks people>BEFORE HE GETS DRAGON MADNESS>Solel seriously wanted this guy to rule Dagsion againMaybe Solel deserved to be cucked to death and murdered.
All I can say is, the lack of fan art really speak the volume of character design
>>748734057The character designs are worse than engage by far. LOOK AT THIS
>>748734189Dadao is wierd because in-universe he is repulsive too to people.
>>748734189Only a select few are as bad. All of Engage's designs are terrible.
>>748733915This whole scene was kino. It's also too bad we never got to kick her ass.
>>748734308No?
>>748734057All the new fanart I see seems to be Ninae, Alexandra, Catania and other attractive characters.
>>748734029and he's also addicted to the flamma crack and throws millions of people into a cauldron to fuel his addiction
>>748734029>does nothing after seeing orchel's face>doesn't kill his daddy while he's down despite knowing he's a monstrous pissant drug addict>does nothing about the order of mithras until it's too late>gave the go ahead for arago to loot and pillage cydoniaSolel is comically retarded.
>Fodlan gets dragon Jesus and Edelgard complains>meanwhile Dagda gets the dragon equivalent of Nero Claudius
Can the game stop dickriding Bertrand for five fucking minutes?
>>748734563kyaaaa bertrand-sama so strong and skilled and handsome and regal!
>>748734563>>748734593Haha... that's our White Maned Demon!
If Bertrand's so great then how come his route got cut?Checkmate.
>Leda's story is supposed to transition to Talimun's storyWhy the fuck is Leda even needed then? Gilchris, Lechner and Bertrand were all just pawns of the Order of Mithras.
>>748734563haha...
>>748734740The cut routes were needed to fully understand the story.Literally unfinished; this piece of shit should flop for that alone.
>>748734726cut because they wanted the base game to have 2 male leads, 2 female leads, and they didn't want literally all of them to be brownLeda and Dietrich are actual side-character material compared to Bertrand and Orchel.
Embarrassing that Kusakihara tried to make a blatant Octopath ripoff and couldn't even succeed at it.
>>748734308>
>>748733595>>no critswhat did he mean by this
>>748734965He wanted Octopath SoV. Given that half the routes were cut and it flopped, he failed at both.Hope he gets Tanabe'd.
>>748734965Kusohara also saying an Avatar isn't needed for an interconnected-Octopath game is funny because OCTOPATH USES AN AVATAR FOR IT'S INTERCONNECTED OCTOPATH GAME. Octopath 1 and 2 are 8 seperate stories with "yeah the main villains were slightly involved in the backgrouns" to connect them, 0 connects it's plot all by using an Avatar.
>>748733390>they cannotDietrich crit me twice in the prologue for 0 damage.In Clash mode. I got hit by a 3% crit, used a vulnerary and got hit by the same 3% crit two turns in a row because the lead enemy didn't cycle.Noctula missed a 99% on Orchel's paralogue. The RNG is the same as it ever was.
Nuzzuo crit and one-shot my Guzran, is it because I'm playing on Hard?
>>748725581Engage feels like it should’ve been Japan Exclusive since it includes characters from games not localized worldwide. Unless you count those Japan memberberry characters in Heroes, but it’s just a Gacha and not a real game.
>>748735113>he's less competent than fucking SE devsFire his ass already dear god.
