yeah I have never ever liked a fire emblem even once and I glanced at the previews they’re running for this one and went “oh!”

Just when there were no longer any Switch-exclusives that interested me, a good non-handheld Fire Emblem game might do it. The GameCube one was excellent, and the Wii one was pretty good as well. I have not played a tactical RPG in a long time.

Good thing this game’s features include fishing and cooking. That should be enough to keep me from becoming tempted.

wait no i was saving so much brainspace by hating fire emblem what did they change

I was reading the Nintendo page on the new fire emblem and

For the first time in series history, battalions of troops follow individual units to support them in battle

So it’s LANGRISSER???

Fuck yes.

(Note, I do not know if this means it’s actually langrisser)

they got rid of the gross animu stuff, are doing a military academy thing like valk 2 but then it skips ahead to wartime and you see Where They Are Now like starship troopers, they have more cross-class ability customization, they got rid of the rock paper scissors, they added limited rewinds from invisible inc, and they have same sex partnerships now

it sounds like what I would’ve done if they hired me to make fire emblem tbh

whoa

yeah I was reading a preview and going “OK … OK … whoa, OK …”

I think they might’ve hired someone who actually keeps up with tactics games to design it for the first time in god knows how long

IM IN

its like a real game now yayay

Previews have made it sound even more gross animu though, with raising you students and hooking them up in school and very dating sim, though apparently there is a way to minimize this as well, so idk.

Rock Paper Scissors is definitely still in place though.

This is a recent write up I saw that might temper some hype:

there’s still gross anime cuz you can romance the character who looks like a 12 year old

yeah i saw some at the “tree house” thing and it still looked very much gross animu

The rewind thing was already in the last Fire Emblem (remake of Gaiden on the 3DS) and it did make the game very breezy and enjoyable

It didn’t have gross animu though and tanked (as a result?)
I’m sure dating minors is back

looks like i have to write about fire emblem again

apparently I consume much different preview media than everyone else

oh well

having not cared or read about the game at all until now, I’m still interested what preview media you consumed!
