Brutal mogging. I knew it would be bad but I didn't think it would be THIS bad.

I mean he looks like Alucard, of course this is an instant win for him

Innes rocks. IS executed the “guy who acts like a prick but really does care about others” trope splendidly well with him. I replayed FE8 recently and modern IntSys would’ve had Vanessa basically turn into Bernadetta during her supports with him. Moulder, too, is great. I’m a sucker for the token old guy who has it figured out archetype. Guys like him, Haar, Seteth.

SS's character writing is, imo, leagues above Blazing Blade's.

the Elric of Melniboné archetype remains undefeated to this day, women want to fuck him, men want to be him.

New trailer, featuring the Queen of Nigeria and her simp squad

What's interesting is that the guy with the eyepatch is using magic, this time around

Guitar Bitch finally got her own trailer, featuring the signature backflip that they've been using for Snipers, lately

Well, it's nice to see that they've remixed "Together, We Ride" and that Theodora and her crew is fighting alongside her. I have a feeling that this will probably be just another easy game, so far. And not just because of the arena missions

Tranny fails to see the irony of calling anything misogynistic

The funny thing is even though Faye is a terrible character, she actually does pass the stupid Bechdel Test. See her A Support with Silque.

I don't know why people still bring that test up like it means anything when even the Alm Orbiter can pass it.

I wish the characters had unique dialogues expressing their views of what just happened instead of sucking off the DIVINE DRAGON SENPIE NOTICE ME PLEASE

That shit made me drop the game entirely. I know it was a FFX Tidus situation but they really should have stuck with Alear for a name instead of that cockgobbling bullshit.

It didn’t get as much direct story exposure because you’re following Eirika for the first half of the game either way but Ephraim trying to reconcile enjoying war and battle with needing to be the king is a well executed plot line. Forde basically says that he earns peoples’ loyalty easily because he’s brave and strong, but he’s kind of an adrenaline junkie.

Ephraim and Eirika are interesting because they really are two halves of a whole, and the game does manage to make both routes good. Though I do prefer Eirika route because it makes more sense how Lyon tricks her lategame.

SS has a lot that I love, like Innes being both incredibly determined, kind to those serving him, and a complete dickhead. Like when you first meet him in Erika's route, he's surrounded, and quite possibly about to die, and he fires Gerik and Tethys so they won't stay and die with him, only for them to stay anyway, pointing out that he can no longer order them to leave, or just how unwilling he is to give up, even when shit is completely fucked.

Innes is such a good character in that game that I'm legitimately mad that they made him the worst class in the game.

You know what’s fucked up? They got it right in Three Houses
People shit on the monastery constantly, but for anyone who played it for the first time that place felt alive. Characters did react to what happened
Sylvain was devastated when I had no choice but to kill his mutated brother, so was Ash.
That little shit who guilt tripped me with “if you came to Remier village sooner”
People who were legit sad for Byleth after his father death …. Except for that fucking shopping area who kept their silly soundtrack breaking up the immersion.

That’s why I can’t stand the Somniel
It’s bad enough being such a slog collecting everything every time you finish a map. Worse yet, the characters there are just there enjoying themselves as if they’re on vacation and absolutely have nothing of substance to say.
Maybe I am being extremely dramatic here, but it is the major reason why I couldn’t finish Engage to this day
Or Marth’s paralogue kicking my ass , fuck those multi HP bars, long ranged weapons wielding, point chocking fuckheads

Innes is such a good character in that game that I'm legitimately mad that they made him the worst class in the game.

I played the Reforged ROM hack and he’s an absolute monster in it. It adds character and class skills like a lot of other GBA FE hacks do, and iirc Neimi gets +1 range while Innes is remade into a crit monster. It’s also got infinite use weapons Fates style, with the caveat of money being extremely tight, so giving him e.g. the Silver Bow he starts with and a Killer Bow to make him into a player phase delete button is both feasible and a great strategy on Eirika’s path. Gilliam is actually good this time and a Provoke staff is added, which opens up a lot of strategic possibilities, in general not just for doing funny moves with your snipers and magicians. And there’s a Lunatic mode so these things aren’t entirely number go up brr

To be fair, it's kind of implied that Ash is mildly retarded. Or just optimistic about nearly everything.

Worse yet, the characters there are just there enjoying themselves as if they’re on vacation and absolutely have nothing of substance to say.

Yeah, the post-combat exploration is where the characters talk about real shit. The sky palace is just an anachronistic resort that just exists to appease the retarded portion of the fanbase

Despite the deluge of turd worldness, it doesn't look remotely unique or interesting aesthetically, just looks like every anime game out there. The new Xenoblade is the same way, they look completely interchangeable with any other modern animu fantasy slop. Bland environments, a dull often overly digital-looking U/I that doesn't jive with the old setting, and plastic looking character models that seemingly haven't improved since Awakening's cutscenes 13+ years ago. It's kindov funny how I'm nostalgic for the 3DS look now... They really had their own nice little style, with the 3D environments and effects paired with the eternally charming 2D sprites and character portraits. It's laughable that no matter how many people praised Valentia's aesthetics back in 2017, I.S. just can't take the hint that that's what they should be rolling with for FE.

Thracia, from over a generation ago, has a more pleasing style. Just one look at the more detailed maps from the game makes it easy to see where Awakening's HD2D visuals came from. The vision was there a long time ago.

 

[NerdShamer]

Bland environments,

Yeah ,a city with a million shitskins in it just magically stays spotless. Sure, it's not like London was the bastion of cleanliness during it's heyday. Between this and the lack of depth in most of the maps is something that's been plaguing 3H. Engage kind of got things right with their environments, but even that was too clean.

But SoV just felt like Awakening 2.0, in a good way. At least stuff wasn't unrealistically shiny in the 3DS games, the newer set of models just felt like having an pair of Barbie dolls stab each other

Awakening oozed passion. Even the chibi battle models with their stub feet had style. For as much as IS has kept trying and failing to recreate the lightning in a bottle that was Awakening's success, they don't seem to understand what actually made it successful.
