I love this gaslighting that's been happening that FE was ever even close to a political drama. It's always been pretty anime people fighting dragons and the political themes were minor at best.

>>713095837 (OP)
>Engage gave them the ick
Well yeah, playing that game was like pulling teeth. I couldn't even finish it. Having said that I miss FE and I'll probably either go back to Shadow Dragon or start Thracia 776, once I'm done with my nephews blanket.

>Cross emoji
Does this worthless hole have any fucking idea how degenerate 3H fans are? There's a reason this type of person was attracted to the game.

>>713097415
Well I can't speak for Corrin. But Alear had a reasoning behind their characterization.

>Tei: Yes. When a protagonist is a royal, they are often associated with bravery, or thought to have a sense of mission to fight against fate and challenges, and I believe those are the traits that people generally associate with heroes. However, I thought such heroes are unlikely to resonate with people today. Let's say someone tells you one day, out of nowhere, that your mission is to save the world. My guess is that your response wouldn't be like, “OK! I'll do my best...”So, at the early stage of development, we had many moments where Alear fears the enemies and says unheroic things.

So Alear was intended to be more relatable than other Lords by being frightened at the idea of such an adventure

Engage had better combat than Three Houses, but overall Three Houses was better because of the story. She's right.

>>713097772
Story and Gameplay are not on the same tier for value.

>>713095837 (OP)
Based Engage

>>713097006
No, I mean tranny vocabulary. "biofemale" implies there a non-bio female. There isn't.

>>713095837 (OP)

She's absolutely right. 3H was actually a solid game and it gave you a reason to play it at least 3 times. Engage I found myself rushing through and it was the first FE game that I didn't care for the plot.

I thought I was just getting old but then I played SS again and enjoyed that so no it's just that it was a shitty, dumbed down game meant to appeal to "larger audiences"

>>713097809
Sure, but i feel like the only way i can finish a game with a shit story, is if the gameplay was incredible. Engage's gameplay did not make up for its story IMO.

>>713097506

Claude is black though and a main character not just a side so both the "newer" FE games are guilty of that if we keeping it real.

>>713097682
Melonie also goes on rants about how jews are just the coolest, dumb whore

I'm sorry but I threw out most of the FE fanbases opinions on story during Fates. There is plenty wrong with the storytelling in Fates but people kept pointing towards things that either actually made sense or are inconsequential in the grand scheme of things. It's the equivalent of people repeating cinemasins.

>>713098342
I thought Claude is supposed to be Arab?

>>713095837 (OP)
The funniest thing is that 3H is honestly also kinda ugly. Both it and Engage look horrendous compared to Echoes' art.

>>713097809


For these types of games they are pretty similar, also Three Houses was a Harry Potter simulator and you could go on dates with your students and the slutty big tittied professor which is Kino.

Engage's side quests and "main lounge" were terrible in comparison, and I only give it a small pass because it has Lyn, the best waifu.

>>713098505
Extremely high tier girl. Didn't expect that at all.

Nah Jaffar from Sacred Stones was Arab, Claude is lightskinned black.

>>713095837 (OP)
I never got why 3H gets fellated so much. Its written like a battle school harem anime with all the worst tropes constantly dragging down what little good writing there was, the designs are otome schlok mixed with vtuber design sensibilities, and the gameplay is Awakening levels of bad.

2nd worst FE I've played and pray that IS never makes another game like it.

The answer is literally inside your post. It's designed to practically be catnip to women and normies.

>>713100363


I got my GBA Fire Emblems mixed up, you are correct but yeah. For him I always saw him as Arab but Claude was black while in Engage they used darker skinned black people

Bold strategy.

>>713100554
Right, my other guess was that you were thinking of Joshua, but i guess i got it right the first time. With me, I always thought of Claude and Jaffar as Arab, and Dedue and Timerra as black, but i can see your perspective as well.

Engage is mechanically superior, but women don't have the brains to appreciate that as they always play everything on casual.

They play FE because they like pairing the units, that's it.

Nothing wrong with it, but their opinion doesn't matter.

>>713101854

No casual wants to wade through gameplay that's challenging for them just to see more bad supports of ugly characters.
Even the good looking ones, like Chloe, are horribly written.

You shut your whore mouth. Engage has a fantastic cast and some really great supports.

>>713101854
Ecelebs told them to. They missed the memo that they're allowed to like Engage now.

>>713102208
You tell 'em, kid.
Talk about the one about llamas again!

>>713101854
unironically because they were expecting harry potter 2 and got fire emblem with vtubers instead

>>713096000
kek yep

Toothpaste girl isn't a bad design... it's just different from recent fire emblem stuff, and people don't like when things changes, even though fire emblem kept changing over the years

>>713102780
It is both different and a bad design. I warmed up to it, but her outfit is all over the place, and the vertical hair split would look stupid even in gacha games.
And it gets even worse when you promote her.

>>713095837 (OP)
I prefer fates desu

>>713102780
What about Toothpaste boi?

>>713102780
I still think it would have worked best as a horizontal fade from blue to red.

>>713102780
it's just her hair that weirds people out. It's too much. It really should've been one color or the other, not this dual-colored v-tuber shit

>>713095837 (OP)
Wasn't Engage technically completed before Three houses and Nintendo just refrained from releasing it before Three houses was done?

>>713103173
Even as just one color, the outfit is a little too complex.

>>713102952
She's actually ugly. It's the weirdly-shaped eyes.

>>713097574
Exactly, it has always been cringe visual novel/dating sim weebshit garbage.
>>713097402
Play FFT or Tactics Ogre if you want real tactical rpgs with decent storyline.

>>713103538
Eh, at least it's not Nomura BELTAN ZIPPERAN tier bad.

>>713097682
Some 3H characters are gay, some aren’t. It depends on player input.

Literally every single Engage character is canonically bisexual.

>>713103703
>Tactics Ogre
Does it have cute boys in it?

>>713103918
Sure, but people will remember Lulu longer than they'll remember Celine.

>>713104067
No they aren't, shut the fuck up already. The pact ring is a choice YOU make. You control the buttons you press. If YOU wanted your male avatar to be a fag, YOU picked a male pact ring partner. They aren't 'bisexual' because there are no other relationships in the canon of the run where you picked this faggot ending.

>>713098342
Claude is a very obvious Rajendra expy, and Rajendra is indian.

Some of you just fight because you enjoy having another person acknowledge you

>>713104282
Look man, I love Engage as much as the next guy, but everyone is indeed bisexual. Blame Fates for starting this mess and blame 3H for glorifying it. The one good thing Engage did about it was not even bringing it up, which infuriates the queers because they love to hear about themselves and Engage denied that.

>>713104282
>The pact ring is a choice YOU make. You control the buttons you press.
His point though is that everyone else still accepts it.
Alear is bisexual and you choose who they love, but everyone else always loves them back, no matter which sex you pick for Alear.
They're all bisexual. Even Sombron was bi.

>>713104067
>Some 3H characters are gay, some aren’t. It depends on player input.
Now that's just wrong. Did you forget about Edelgard's pairing with Petra, or how Shamir wants to gay marry Catherine? Better yet, there's Whorothea who you need to actively stop from being gay

>>713104684
that doesn't make them bi. it makes them playersexual

>>713104282
Correct: They are avatarsexual. They live and breathe for the Avatar because Engage is a piece of shit game, with shit characters that only exist to suck your dick.

Would you let Jesus fuck your ass?

>>713104585
>Blame Fates for starting this mess and blame 3H for glorifying it.
Even Fates stuck the gay options in the non canon routes and made Corrin canonically have a kid. Way less impactful than 3H imo

>>713104228
Nope. Only asshole-destroying big burly men.

>>713095837 (OP)

Still sounds pretty fucking gay, man.

>>713104585
>blame 3H for glorifying it.
The fun part about 3H's gayness was that it was regional. All degenerates are from Adrestia.

>>713104720
Thanks for proving his point?

Dimitri will never be gay. No matter how many support points you cram into him, it doesn't happen. Claude not having a gay option got so bad that there was a Twitter meltdown dedicated to it. Alois has a wife. Gilbert has a wife. Ingrid is offended by Dorothea refusing to stop advancing on her even if after she asked.

What point are you trying to make?

No? Dimitri is explicitly dancing with a nameless female NPC. And he's not even selectable for the goddess tower if you're a male Byleth. And what gay ending are you talking about?

>>713105216
You're really just latching onto anything you think is gonna make me mad huh

>>713095837 (OP)
She's partially right, Engayge's aesthetics are so fucking bad it makes the game almost unbearable to play.
Three Houses is still a massive downgrade over what the series used to look like though, especially coming right after Echoes.

Good to know /v/ would drop a good game if some literal who from twitter said it was bad.

>>713105316
You think I'm trying to troll you?
I'm stating the fact that Diamant sucking a cock is gay. And Diamant factually sucks cocks.

Nah, I dropped the game because i was burned out.

>>713105340
Ah, it was Whorothea who has the pairing with Petra. I mixed it up with Edelgard since the whore also has a pairing with her.

>>713095837 (OP)
With the irony being that Engage is a much better game than 3H

>>713105224
What the fuck are you talking about? You can't argue that everyone in Engage isn't at least bi when you can gay fuck anyone. Just as you can't make the argument that everyone in 3H is gay when there are several characters in each house who will never fuck you if you're the wrong sex

>>713105319
Echoes was uniquely good though. I'll take 3h over the ds and 3ds games.

>>713105519
I understand. Dorothea really is a whore that forces people to be in a relationship with her.

Except for ONE...!

>>713104585
It started with thracia 776.

>>713105312
oic I lurked 3h threads and they kept saying he was gay but might be confused with the other dude

>>713097772
3H's story was garbage though

g-guys Engage is my favorite Switch game.
I dropped three houses at the beginning :/ but i finished Engage haha I loved the character design so much more.

>>713105386
I don't follow ecelebs. I looked at Engage and played it myself, and somehow I came to the same conclusion as everyone else.

>>713105652
Dimitri's gay to me...

>>713095837 (OP)
>Utter clown show
All those people cared about in 3H was high school gay fanfics and retarded shipping

>>713105652
Filthy fucking fujos ship Dimitri with Dedue, Felix, and sometimes Gilbert. They misunderstand that two men having a paired ending does not automatically mean they're sucking and fucking each other. Dimitri, like everyone in the Kingdom except for Mercedes (who's from the Empire natively), is heterosexual.

>>713105615
I know discussion about media literacy is kind of a meme but I truly understood that no one knows how to fucking read when I saw discourse about Ingrid. Because she apparently hates gay people because she won't let Dorothea fuck her even though Ingrid was willing to be friends with her

>>713105809
Don't ruin my fun, asshat

>>713105819
The actual popular discourse with Ingrid is that she's a deeply closeted lesbian, despite having zero (0) female paired endings.

>>713096000
Why? Did someone make her eat all the eggs?

Engage flopping is proof that shipper troons ruined Fire Emblem as a franchise.

3 houses hairstyles are so goddamn ugly that I honest to god think colgate hair is better.

>>713105729
Everyone else likes Engage now. Even the bald fag changed his mind once popular opinion flipped

>>713105819
>I know discussion about media literacy is kind of a meme but I truly understood that no one knows how to fucking read when I saw X
I still hope people are just pretending to be retarded about it because I have those moments occasionally too and it blows my mind

>>713105819
Also this>>713105809. This anon is 100% correct. The problem isn't necessarily the game itself so much as it's extremely stupid fans that get out of control with their self inserting. So they interpret Dimitri as a gay possibility because of his very close relationship with Dedue, even though the have itself never says that. It's just "subtle." As if a game with explicit gay marriage needs to be subtle. They're the same dipshits that think Frodo and Sam were fucking because Frodo kissed Sam at the end of RotK, even though Sam has a fucking wife and several children

>>713106027
3H Anna is a personal candidate of mine for worst design in the franchise. She looks like an amateur mod character. Like her hair doesn't even seem to fit properly on her head

>>713106116
3H Anna screams rushed design to me. Like they weren't originally planning to have her appear in 3H but changed their minds and scrambled to make her in the 3H style.

>>713105919
Its because sylvix shippers don't want her to die alone, so they make her gay. I don't see Sylvain as gay, so i ship him with Ingrid.

If you're looking for a 3DS game, I'd go with Awakening. Its the first for the 3DS and introduces a lot of new mechanics. They get perfected in later games but you won't enjoy or appreciate Awakening as much if you start with other games.

>>713109785
It's not just that it's worse, it's that the Fates writing style feels openly insulting. It just stupidly lurches between what it thinks are big story moments without doing any basic worldbuilding or coherency to the point that it feels like they're jangling keys in your face

If it were just a bad story as in very basic like FE1 or FE6 it wouldn't feel half as shitty

Goddammit, I still remember how i felt when the game revealed those deeprealms: I thought it was the stupidest shit ever. Still had fun playing Conquest, though

>>713111181
>one of the worst localisations in a series
Fates never got all of their DLC in english because the localizers didn't want to do it. Engage isn't even close.

>>713110841
FE1 is honestly pretty chill. Main issue is just how limited space first.

You can tell because SD largely improves it without actually changing anything.

>>713098342
I like Three Houses so it doesn't bother me. I hate Engage so it's woke trash.

While there is so thruth in your comment, I want you to be aware that ALL characters from FE since 2010 have been avatar sexual, even 3H, which is to me also a shit game.
The world literally revolves around them.

I haven't played X, so I cannot care about Lulu I'm afraid.

>>713103703
>Play FFT or Tactics Ogre if you want real tactical rpgs with decent storyline.
FFT and TO are both terrible games. It was pure nostalgia that made me like them, after I got into FE and went back recently I realized how bad these games are.
FFT story is also nothing impressive. TO is technically an okay story, but it's entirely lacking in pathos. Nothing good ever happens. Not even the infamous Kachua scene in Act 4 made me feel anything.

I had teary eyes when Dimitri liberated Fhirdiad, so FE has better story than both.

>>713113402
Ugh, now i remember all of those characters that could only support Corrin or Robin. Fuck this series went down the shitter.

>>713113402
>ALL characters from FE since 2010 have been avatar sexual, even 3H
That's not true though. Paired endings in 3H aren't avatarsexual, they go by what sexual orientation the characters have. If they are straight, they don't become gay for Byleth.

>>713113594
sure retarded low IQ fujoshit

Avatarsexual means that a character can ONLY romance the avatar, this only happened in Engage

They are some of the only finished games around these days, and they don't need a day 1 patch to be functional.

I was talking about how everyone in these games's story loves saying how cool and badass the avatar is and that they wouldn' be able to do anything if not for them. That' what I dislike more than them being faggots for the same sex. I would also say that the developers where too lazy to make paired endings for everyone in Engage, so they just made everyone avatarsexual, which sucks.

Do I wish they didn't do it? Yes. But what else can be done now.

Not really. There's about the same amount of politics but it quickly becomes about the stones and ancient demons.

Three houses doesn't even have a weapon triangle and it's crazy that it took me multiple playthroughs to realize this. Engage has superior gameplay. The crests that were hyped up don't even matter all that much meanwhile Engage was very significant for Engage's gameplay.

One of the biggest complaints I see for FFT is about the shift from politics to the demon stuff in the latter part of the story. You don't see anyone complaining about a shift like that in FE because FE never had as big of a focus on it.

It's just fujos being fujos. They couldn't handle the fact that each FE is typically aimed at a different demographic. They love shit like FE4 and 3H, but can't handle the young teenage boy focused entries like 6 or Engage. They'll be satisfied with the FE4 remake at least.

It's also hilarious that they'd cry about the artstyle, given the hideous Awakening/Fates designs that older fans had to tolerate and accept. Now they're on the other side of the equation.

You're delusional. They're simple stories aimed at young boys who like shounen. The character designs and structure reflect that. FE6 was designed to get young people (the intended audience.of GBA) interested in the series. The connections to the prior settings was dropped, the story was simplified, the mechanics were made much more simple than 5 as well. Roy is a very typical shounen protag with a large roster of cute girls to associate and pair with. It was also intended to be the first global FE release until it was decided 7 would do that.

Engage is similar in that respect. A much simpler story, and character designs clearly aimed at younger players. Tons of hot girls for pubescent boys to FAP to. It was clearly meant to get a younger audience to become semi-knowledgeable on older FE protags as an introduction. The similarities I mention are specifically in regards to demographic.

Oh, you mean like every FE? 3H's aesthetic, characters, story and monastery are clearly aimed at women - which it accomplished triumphantly (even if I myself dislike it).

Mechanically you can certainly argue they're similar, sure - I'm not going to get into that nitty gritty shit. That's not what enraged 3H fans are arguing about though. They almost entire focus on the story and character designs.

What the fuck does ick mean?

My ninja, is you subzerious right nyaow? Engage gave EVERYONE the ick, my home skillet. The game has a toothpaste vtuber as the mascot. All the characters look uncanny and the writing is hella madgay plus turbo. This post is less cringe than Fire Emblem Engage, and that's saying a lot considering this post just dealt you 500 points of psychic damage out of 10. Reply to this post or your mom will die in her sleep tonight.

>>713123265
>They're simple stories aimed at young boys who like shounen.
No young boy has played Engage. Young boys like to have their medieval fiction be kinda edgy so they feel more mature.

Engage is made by japanese boomers and a japanese boomer woman who is completly out of touch with what's cool among the youth.

>>713123554
Before this generation, ick(y) was just a similar word to "yuck". Now it means, it makes a woman's pussy dry.

Fun fact, in the same game he uses Sreng minorities as cannon fodder.

>>713123465
>FE? 3H's aesthetic, characters, story and monastery are clearly aimed at women
Your schizo delusion at SRPGs being aimed at women(who don't play these games) needs more than the voices in your head to back it up.

>>713123668
Well yeah, Alear and the rest of Engage's girls are designed for 13 year old boys to lose copious amounts of protein to. Nothing wrong with that. Meanwhile, 3H's women are designed so that female players don't feel threatened by being hotter than them. That's why it's all about the pretty boys in 3H

>>713123554
Usually it means the dealbreaking attribute a man has, that completely tanks a woman's opinion of him forever.
Usually it has overlap with incel-core ideologies.

>>713123741
Maybe in NA, but it's absolutely clear that was the intention. Go read some Corocoro or Jump. It's completely in line with what their popular shounen is. You're insane if you think Engage is aimed at millenials

god these 3h models are fucking ugly.

>>713096000
the divorce really did a number on her

Twitter simping for nazis and facists in Attack on Titan and Three Houses always makes me laugh. Edelgard's first act as Emperor is to pardon her father from all the wanton slaughter he comitted, which includes executing women and children. Later on, Hubert founds the Gestapo. Edelgard wants to carry out a racial purge and enact a genocide because she's slightly unhappy about a race of people.

>>713124097
Edelgard's a communist, however...

>>713123857
FE is famously known as a female oriented series in Japan. It's like how female fans were the people who brought Gundam back from the verge of death after it was cancelled. Fujos have a fuckton of spending money. Do some research. FE4, an entry people think is "manly" by the global FE community, has an incredibly strong fujo audience who worshipped Arvis. The Archanea games had a large female audience as well. They make tons of fanfiction and buy tons merch.

>>713124147
unironically the same thing

>>713123973

Same thing with a different name, though the Nazi part I meant Attack on Titan because they have a literal Nazi faction.

It really feels like Engage killed any momentum the series had at the time.

>>713095837 (OP)
I think 3H's narrative was a good change of pace for the series but I've never really gotten why some consider it a masterpiece.
Its mostly just watered down Chinese history for normies. I think its interesting how it uses its fantasy setting to exaggerate classism via the whole crest system, but its nothing groundbreaking.

It isn't. You're taking one interview from Kaga, a man known for not knowing much about his market, and taking it as the Gospel.

>>713124180
This
Especially in the Japanese economy, fujos are borderline as significant a market to tap as furries are here. They have ludicrous quantities of disposable income, because they're often making a salary, that they aren't otherwise participating in the economy enough to use.
Especially since the modern Japanese youth is a fickle creature that can be hard to predict, fujos are the largest, safest market to tap

3H was butt ass ugly in all aspects and it kills me it somehow garnered a fanbase likely just because of the persona shit it has. no class.

>>713124368
100%
It's probably more accurate to say that 3 Houses was an outlier of success that IS was wholly unprepared to replicate.
I have every suspicion that everything about 3 Houses that worked commercially was the doing of Koei, and the fucking car accident that was Engage was mostly the new 3 Houses fans learning 3 Houses was, in fact, not the norm, and being violently introduced to what "normal" for this franchise looks like.

>>713124564
You can like whoever you want.
Just don't try to use liking them as the crux of your argument for why she isn't retarded and evil.

>>713124709
The characters are good, fun things happen in the story, the timeskip is kino, the music is excellent. The monastery is time wasting micro-managment and it's not Persona, which is a harem game. Persona doesn't even have supports between the characters, it's all centered around avatarfagging. It's worse than any FE game in that respect.

edelgard was right about everything, especially being a raging lesbian

>>713108547
That's because those were the main audience of 3H

>>713125003

Based. Edelgard is at her best when she's staring someone down with that "I will reshape the world with fire and blood if I have to" energy. Heroes who smile while burning down history are way more compelling than another bland paragon. Let her be evil—just makes her more iconic.

>>713095837 (OP)

>>713097402
Just look at how cool the logos used to be until Awakening

>>713126223
The one positive thing about the modern logo is that it at least gives a clear and objective indication of when old FE died and nu-FE took it's place.

>>713097402
And holy fuck the “Monkey See Monkey Do” art style

At least Dragon Quest has the iconic Toriyama style and Final Fantasy has the Nomura style which are both distinct and stand out on their own

>>713098140
>3H was actually a solid game and it gave you a reason to play it at least 3 times
the fuck awful monastery, map design, and slew of various other questionable at best design choices beg to differ

>>713095837 (OP)
Which one should I get?
I haven't played the Switch FEs but I can only get one for now and falling back into playing FEH gave me the itch I used to scratch with Cipher.
I don't mind terrible plots and my standards for gameplay are also low, so I guarantee whichever one it is, I will enjoy it.
I like the art of Engage significantly more than 3H because I've seen the timeskip portraits and they're all super ugly.
I like the music I've heard from 3H way more than Engage's in general.
I was spoiled on some of the plot for both games and my only comment on it is that I would never side with Edelgard.
Main things I don't know about either one is which one is longer (i.e. more content) and what's less irritating about DLC (the less paid small DLC the better, expansions are fine).
My favorite ones are RD and SoV because RD was my first one and SoV had dungeons.
Biggest issue with each game I've seen is 3H's hideous looks vs Engage's profoundly retarded Engage Ring concept.
Which one is better for me?

>>713126363
The FF design was for a long time more Yoshitaka Amano than Nomura

>>713104263
Lulu list popularity because anyone who got to ride with her in X got cucked by X-2.

>>713105319
Echoes was shit though.
There is a reason why no one but Celica has anything resemblaling acknowledgement from that game.

>>713127180
Paine was cool. Fuck you

i really dont get the appeal of three houses.

the gameplay is like xcom except absolutely zero depth and the shittiest map "design" ive ever experienced in my life, then the social stuff (even the art) is just persona except nobody is likeable and everything you do at the monastery is SO FUCKING BORING AND TEDIOUS only to then do be forced into battle """"gameplay""""" which puts you fully into sleep.

the fact that it came out the same year as persona 5 royal is an absolute kek too, why would you ever play three houses over that?

>>713125581
Not reading the image fully because twitter but I feel like Fates actually got a ton more merchandise than any game bar Awakening. It's difficult to find nowadays but a lot of people want the Elise nendo to the point where it's one of the most expensive normal ones out of the nearly 3000-strong catalog of them, and the others like Sakura are close too.
Camilla alone dragged along tons of merch behind her and it feels like ever since Cipher died, FE merch has utterly dried up. No more nendos, rarely do scales come out if at all, I think 3 PuPs were announced this year and that's basically it. It's frustrating.

>>713127334

>>713126886
>Main things I don't know about either one is which one is longer (i.e. more content) and what's less irritating about DLC (the less paid small DLC the better, expansions are fine).
3 houses is significantly longer than engage, even before considering multiple playthroughs being sorta viable through the different houses.
Both have a season pass full of shit tier dlc, and one "expansion" tier side story.
3 Houses' is meh, skippable, Engage's is unironically one of the most disgraceful pieces of software you will ever purchase.
Honestly, both are better without buying the dlc, because the dlc gives you a bunch of op shit that upsets the balance of the game.
The plot for 3 houses is palatable if bleh, Engage I genuinely would advise skipping the cutscenes, they actively bring the experience down, they are that bad.
If the rings in Engage sound like a bad fit for for you, avoid. They ARE the core mechanic of the game, full stop, and the rings often actually matter more than who they are equipped to.
Engage flows a bit more like a traditional FE game, while 3 Houses is a bit more its own thing, in case that matters to you.

I would reccomend 3 Houses over Engage in general, but, with the considerations you're making, I'd say almost full stop, Engage will probably just annoy you. Unless 3 Houses really looks that bad, I guess, but, I've never been someone who felt really compelled one way or another by the way a game looks, so can't comment on that.

>>713127532
Hmm, so 3H is bigger, both have bad DLC in spades, Engage has an expectedly silly story (I actually haven't much of an idea what it's about because again, primary exposure to Engage was minimal yet I enjoyed seeing Dimitri run Edelgard through). I unironically was fine with Conquest AND Revelation plotwise so that's not a big deal.
Mika Pikazo is one of my favorite artists so that is at least a draw for me, but I also have tolerated absolutely hideous shit and played through Aquaman on Xbox fine so 3H art being tremendously ugly isn't a huge dealbreaker either.
The Engage Rings are also not a dealbreaker per se, it just feels... unnatural. As if it's FEH summoning but stuck into a regular FE, plus the Emblem units in FEH are extremely fun but their dialogue is stilted and unsettling, like I'm reading a hypnosis doujin where someone's common sense has been removed and they're accepting that they're basically objects to be used and abused. It makes me uncomfortable seeing a character like Celica speak like she's a table decoration. Though I do find the endings for some supports I've seen for 3H difficult to stomach as well (particularly again, Edelgard's, where she can't publicly commit to Byleth due to her duties, that one is quite sour).
All this aside, thank you anon, I'll ask around a bit but you are immensely more helpful than /feg/, who I also asked.

>>713101995
The only reason I beat it, really. The story was such dogshit and the characters so boring that I stopped doing side content about halfway through.

>>713109001
How are you supposed to live a round against him in the vigilante map to get the exclusive Mist dialogue? I don't think even giving Ike every kill would up to that point would be wnough.

>>713128410
>If you don't play a game exclusively for the gameplay, you MUST like a game that is just reading and no gameplay
What's with troons and not having any concept of holistic game design? A game with 7/10 in all aspects is better than a 10/10 story but 0/10 gameplay and music, or 10/10 gameplay and 0/10 in all the rest.

So how did Engage actually do in the end?
I figured it did similarly to how most games on ninty handhelds do for long running series modern entries, where the second main entry sells a lot less than the first (even Pokemon always falls into this with one exception, SV, though PLA is officially mainline and also fell into this trend of lower sales).
But I never actually looked at numbers for this and just saw that it of course sold less than 3H.
Only asking because the thread is close to bump, normally I avoid anything asking about sales.

I have completed the Thabes Labyrinth over 50 times

>>713129297
Sold something like 1.6 million to Three Houses over 4M+.

The only official numbers we have are from the first 5 months after release. Without anything official to tell, it's impossible to say what its current total is up to.

>>713129543

>>713129763
do keep in mind that these numbers have also not been updated in 2 years. It probably reached between 1.8m - 2m by now.
people from /feg/ especially like to exaggerate how much the game "flopped" because all the remaining posters are kids who started with 3Houses.

What were the sales of RD and Echoes again? I think those were the actual flops of the entire franchise

>>713127597
sis she wants a open relationship ....

>>713129763
It’s 700k less than Awakening. Its sales are closer to SoV actually, it’s a massive flop for what was supposed to be the new Awakening.

>>713129860
I mean yeah but that's to be expected, like I said the launch ones tend to explode with few exceptions. I don't have any disdain for either game, I just wanted to sate my curiousity and assure myself the series wasn't dying from it.

>>713129297
I think it overperformed a bit compared to what it was recieved as.
It got a bunch of sales because it came after 3 Houses, from people that wound up hating it. I think that's where most of the vitriol against it comes from.
That and the DLC being so ass.
It seems about even between people that think the story being as atrocious as it is, being a dealbreaker vs a non-issue.
I can't say what exactly the expectations for it were, but I think it's safe to say it didn't meet them the same way 3 houses did, with how 3 Houses tried weird shit like voice actor skits and shit. I wouldn't be shocked if it got a warriors spinoff, but I also don't think it's likely.

I don't think it's really THAT bad, I think mostly, the reception just got a lot of back splash from people who got into 3 houses, and didn't realize 3 houses was the weird outlier of the series, compared to the much more orthodox Engage.
Then again, while I don't really follow anyone in particular, during 3 Houses time, I'd see pretty much anyone making fire emblem content doing SOMETHING 3 houses related most of the time, compared to Engage which dropped off really fast, leading to a lot of playing older games, or even branching off into other franchises, like I saw one I used to see doing Oblivion content nowadays a week or two ago. I don't follow any of these closely enough to actually know what any of these shifts look like on an individual or over time basis, but I would think the utter lack of anyone really using Engage to make a living is probably a sour indicator of its lasting perception. They would play it if it made them money, and if they aren't playing it, it probably isn't.

>>713129860
It's not unusual for a franchise to have 1 outstanding game in terms of sales
For example, RE2 remake sold 15m copies. RE3 and RE4 remakes sold 10m each.

>>713130034
Echoes did sub-1mil but IS themselves said it was considered a financial success and met expectations. It was a late in life 3DS game, what'd you expect it to do? Most of their budget probably went to Hidari and the sound team.

Only faggota care more for story over gameplay. What's with fuckers only liking tactical strategy when there's a story and enjoying games for overcoming challenges?

10/10 gameplay will always be more fun than playing 7/10 gameplay all around. Into the Breach is my all time favorite tactics game since it's than and a puzzle game in one. Yet it has no fucking story. And something like that is not as good as a complete all-round mid game? Video Games are fucking GAMES. Why not care for the most important part?

If I mainly care for the story of a game over any gameplay, what's stopping me from just watching a playthrough on YouTube?
