Got two thirds of the way through Fire Emblem Engage this month without engaging with anything in the hub world because I assumed it was going to be side diversions for people who want to smooch their pretty boys or whatever. Finally hit a brick wall in terms of progression and discovered I was wrong. There are actually a ton of ways to upgrade and train your units over there, but they aren’t explained to you until you walk up to the prompt and press the A button. There are so many incremental boosts and resources I missed out on throughout the first two thirds of the game that I can’t make up for now and it just feels awful, and I don’t know how I should allocate the few resources I do have or if that would even salvage this run. The first two thirds of the game were a lot of fun, but I’m calling it here for now.
