Why is it the only modern Fire Emblem respected by oldfags?

Because it's a remake of FE2?

>>717422413 (OP)
Is it good?
Im totally new to the series i played Awakening and the gba games and i really like them and want to get more into the series
Overall id say id enjoy Awakening more because of how much build variety there is with all the classes and pair up functions that make it really fun to replay and try out new stuff even if its a bit easy
The gba games where a lot more straightforward and i did like them but not as much as Awakening
Should i give it a try it costs 30 euros used

Great presentation, no waifu/eugenicshit.

These. Player insert unit is shit. Waifufaggotry is shit. Eugenics and kids are shit unless it makes sense in the story. The maps suck, but the rest of the game is great.

>>717423528
>Player insert unit is shit.
I don't like their impact on the story but I like being able to force the game to give me a good berserker or dark magic user.

Cutesythea!

It's not.

>>717423001
It's not but you'll probably like it.

>>717423001
>Is it good?
no, it's extremely anti-fun. First time I played it I dropped it when you start playing as Celica (pretty early on), a few months later I picked it up again and then dropped it again at a battle against a castle in the desert after you can choose to fight a merc or a sorcerer.
I would rather play any FE game over Echoes, I would easily take FE1 on NES over this dogshit.

what's your favorite OST in this game?

>>717422413 (OP)
It has the best presentation of any FE game.
It also has some of the worst maps in the series and is just generally unfun.

Respected by oldfags who only value style over substance maybe. Us oldfags who like good maps and good gameplay regard it as shit.

>>717423001
It's a very pretty game but the core gameplay hasn't aged very well and you can feel it compared to other FE titles.
Fates is basically just better Awakening if you can tolerate a wishy washy MU and a plot riddled with contrivances that exists solely to keep the story on its rails.

>>717423528
>>717423667
Player insert is based, IS just needs to stop acting as if players NEED their MU to be the main character. Awakening is 80% Chrom's story and Robinfags didn't implode in sheer impotency playing it.
>MUH WAIFU FAGGOTRY
You're either playing the wrong series or are a serious hypocrite if you're complaining about this.

>>717424458

>>717427471
Why do Awakeningfags think Robin isn't just as bad as the rest of the MUs? He usurps Chrom as the MC after the Plegia Arc, he comes up with retarded strategies yet everyone still sucks him off like he's a genius because they work out out of sheer dumb luck, he ends up being Dark Dragon Satan and the most important person in the universe which is no different than Corrin, Blyat, or Alear just as Satan instead of God.

>>717427671
It's just a misunderstood hidden gem like every NES sequel.
Just like Final Fantasy 2 and Zelda 2 and Castlevania 2

>>717427789
>He usurps Chrom as the MC after the Plegia Arc
Yeah, I remember how there were several chapters dedicated to powering Robin up for the Grima fight oh wait
>he comes up with retarded strategies
Sounds more like an issue you have with the writing quality rather than Robin, and I have a sneaking suspicion that you're specifically honing in on the boat kamikaze.
>he ends up being Dark Dragon Satan
Specifically a vessel for Satan to possess but whatever.

>>717428204
>Yeah, I remember how there were several chapters dedicated to powering Robin up for the Grima fight
Powering up the Falchion ended up being entirely fucking pointless because the game heavily hints at killing Grima with Robin being the "correct answer".
>you're specifically honing in on the boat kamikaze
That and leading your army into an active fucking volcano.

Ivy

>>717428398
Yeah, but chrom doesn't want you to step in and kill yourself so you have to trick him into thinking he's going to use the falchion before you can catch them both off guard at the last moment with the self sacrifice play.

It's a shining example of how to polish up an old game that no one really likes into a modern game, but then you look at the completely unchanged maps and realize exactly what it is you're still playing. I stull enjoyed it, but it's really hard to overlook maps like these and how IS thought it was acceptable to just import them directly from FE2.

>>717427471

>>717434571
It's him, Fernand, and 1 other dude actually. And they're not even hard, it's only difficult because you spawn with your army split up.

>>717432921
>Act 1
Deals primarily with Ylisse and Plegia's feud and the Ylisse royal family. Almost nothing relevant to Robin's personal story.
>Act 2
Deals with Ylisse being invaded by Valm and Lucina's future. Some Robin stuff is set up but it's primarily about Chrom and Lucina.
>Act 3
Reveals Robin's backstory/connection to Grima and delves deeper into the relationship between the Exalt's bloodline and Naga, big plot moments for both.

Pretending it's Robin's story is essentially ignoring two thirds of the game. I think you might be mistaking perspective character with main character, which to be fair is a common low iq mistake. Robin spends most of the plot as a supporting character, not the primary character that pushes the plot forward.

It's amazing they made nearly 0 changes to the map design but removed all of the fun tools to deal with them like infinite Warp range, that ring that gives like +10 movement, and the ability to revive dead characters onto the other route.
>>717434436

Yeah yeah, attack the character. How dare I attack your chinese cartoon series well past its prime.

That's exactly what the next game will be if IS takes the wrong lessons from the sales difference between 3H and Engage and also puts Komuro in charge of writing again.

It only has bad writing when you look deeper into it. Fates and Engage have bad writing right on the surface. That's the key difference between a story being accepted or not with broad audiences.

In Fates defense, BR and CQ are entirely unique and Rev only reuses a few maps while all TH routes share like 95% of maps between eachother.
The only completly route unique maps are the final map in VW and the second to last map in CF.

What a bargain. You pay 40$ for the game you actually want which is 20$ less than the average game, then you can decide whether you want to spend 20$ more on the other routes for either the average game price with or without DLC.

>>717439042

Congrats newbro - that means you've already played more games than 70% of gamewar/salesfags.
Echoes is based on Gaiden, which for some reason has 20-40 avoid tiles everywhere, and very little means to improve hit chance, being an early game. Echoes itself introduced a few methods for improving hit including support bonuses but, overall, it isn't enough and you will whiff constantly. That's why it also introduced turnwheel retardation which we're still dealing with today.

Engage DLC is actually fun and rewarding, though. Revelation is fucking trash.
I seriously hate that they made this game to this day, it wasn't even originally planned and it's obvious they bit off more than they could chew. If Fates had just been 2 games as initially conceived - Conquest and Birtright - with tighter writing as a result and more EFFORT put in BR maps, Fates would have been an overall stronger value with fewer weak points. Could have been a legendary duology, now it's a 9/10, a 5/10, and a 1/10 that several retards have stockholmed themselves into believing wasn't a scam because >muh content >muh mechanics.

But Kaga made both Gaiden and Genealogy.

>>717441112
I like how this post proves that Fates' story is good. Garon and his loyalists were completely right to treat Kamui as a traitor, and Kamui needed a really good reason to get the royal children to go along with his plan. If Garon was actually Garon when Kamui entered the throne room with the royal children, then Kamui would've been the one getting executed.

Rec is beautiful for someone who likes huge ass cast and reclassing units in classes only available to a marriage with Corrin with the right selected secondary class.
I liked to experiment with say Peg Knight Camilla, Wyvern Oboro, Diviner Ophelia or other assorted stuff.
Besides I'm pretty sure Fell Xenologue seems to be really hated and almost everyone skips it.
That doesn't happen with Rev.

Why the fuck can't they get obtaining skills right in this series?

>breather map means it has to be the most boring mind numbing shit ever
come on, even kaga learned his lesson in later games

There will never be another FE game

>>717442001
Revelation is easily the least popular route, so yeah it gets skipped a lot. The issue with the game is that half the cast is unusable without grinding or basically cheating in some form. So it's not actually "huge" in practice at all.

>>717441878
You use the game mechanics to boost their stats, optimize their class and have them grant out bonuses, while using the usual strat of having them pick off weakened enemies.
>B-but they're underleveled
Underleveled units joining late are so common in FE that an entire archetype has been formed around them with Ests. I do wonder why Rev gets singled out for it when it's one of the few games where you can use them without obnoxious grinding.

>>717442030

how do you savescum the well (serious question)

>>717442105
I mean the grinding seems to be the point of the game.
You have such a huge cast that it would be a shame if the game ended up like Conquest where the dlc maps are the only way to keep building your units.
Comparatively the other games DLCs are just there as a way to add only a few new characters and classes.
Game is like a huge sandbox where your imagination can run free.

>>717442184
>I do wonder why Rev gets singled out for it when it's one of the few games where you can use them without obnoxious grinding.
You've got to be kidding me, anon. Very few games have balance as bad as Revelation. If we can't agree on this much, we likely can't agree on anything. So many units were clearly left at their native game's bases, despite joining *later* in a route with almost Awakening tier stat inflation.

You can do stupid retardo dumb-dumb shit like bending over backwards to collect early rallies to boost them, always pin them to Camilla/Elise for their aura, etc., but units like RV Nyx, Effie, Arthur are bad bad bad. They're genuinely some of the worst units in series history, like Fiona level bad. No one wants to go through the effort of scrimbloing a shitter that starts bad and doesn't even turn out notably good for the effort.

Ests are also the worst meme "archetype" in the series, so this isn't exactly a favorable comparison in the first place.

>>717442354
>gambling is fun

>>717422413 (OP)
Engagetroons hate it

The holy trinity of Fire Emblem

>>717441685
Fates has a strong core, the issue is that it's very obviously a massive script that had to be chopped into a fine paste and as such relies on very obvious contrivances to keep the ball rolling.

>>717442595
>They're genuinely some of the worst units in series history
Do you play the series? A good quarter to half the cast in most games is completely worthless even for chipping. Even easy ass SS has units like Amelia who need to abuse priests just to be able to do 1 damage to the average enemy sometimes. Meanwhile, Rev units can reclass, take advantage of pairup/attack stance, have tonics, can be buffed while enemies get debuffed, etc. Also, if you really don't want to put the slightest effort into them, they can be backpacks and be more beneficial than every single "replacement" unit in FE, nevermind the bad units.

>>717443269
I think the bigger problem is that it's very elaborate as a story and requires attentive knowledge of all three parts of Fates to truly understand why characters act the way they do. If it was in, say, a manga format, the information would be much easier to convey and there would be far less complaints imo.

>>717443298
You're cherrypicking the absolute worst meme units to make your argument, and it's still not even convincing on that level. I think I'd rather use Amelia than RV Odin, honestly. And CQ Odin is one of my favorite units.
The issue with Revelation isn't just that some units are inferior. That's normal in FE. It's that half, more than half of the cast are sub-functional. They're quite literally not prepared to offer basic utility and performance expected of an FE unit, beyond being stat-sticks. No, being a pairup slut isn't viability.

So unless you're a grindfag, the game has nothing for you. I'm not going to actually set up tens of last hits for Nyx so she can be slightly less useless. She functionally doesn't even exist. At least Neimi and Becca can do some chip when it counts, and if I decide to scrimblo them, it isn't such a constant pain in the ass to get a basic performance out of them. Like, they won't explode from the average enemy hitting them once.
That is the difference. Volume and depth of incompetence.

>>717443298

Silque

dogshit thread as usual

>>717443636

Nigger, the 3DS is where modern FE comes from.

>>717443892
Again, pair up slutting is not viability. I don't play these games to stick one unit up another unit's ass for extra stats. RV Odin is burning dogshit.

>ITT

>>717443672
Yes. If a unit who literally can't be used without grinding is acceptable by FE standards, then Rev units are fine since they can do much more than thaf by default.

>>717444383
>this thing unit can do to help me win does not count for their viability because I say so
lol

>>717443845
At least we're actually talking about the games

>>717444512
There is zero utility in Odin's pair-up bonuses. They aren't uniquely useful, a generic capture is about as good. I know you're in full shitpost damage control mode at this point, just wanted to let you know anyway.

Actual retard.

>>717444596
Apparently chipping with Neimi is viable, so every Rev unit passes with flying colours since they can do that and more.

>>717444458
Amelia isn't acceptable by FE standards.

Big fan of my favorite genre of dishonestposting
>my game sucks [for reason], but FE always sucked [for reason]
real big fan

>>717444769
Is she not? All those years of people acting like she's good or training her for fun must be all part of the largest false narrative in history, then

>>717444769
>>717445026
Amelia offers a very specific and unique experience and is technically one of a kind in what she can do.
Odin is just a bad Leo, especially in Rev.

>>717445026
Amelia is very much a meme.
But fucking nobody is training Revelation Nyx.

>>717445026
You'd have better luck arguing Ross but even he's not considered very good either, just barely usable.

Just grind in the games that allow it if you must.
People should accept that chapter by chapter with no grinding is dead in FE moving forward.

>>717445131
>especially in
Odin is actually fine in Conquest, good. He does some cool unique things and is worth investing in. That's the problem. Revelation screwed the pooch so hard that one of the most unique units is no longer worth bothering with at any conceptual level, beyond specifically grinding for him. At which point nothing you do matters anyway, might as well slap Aggressor on everyone.

Ross wants 9 levels to basically be worse or on par with base Garcia in everything except for Str and Luck. His one niche is the very situational ability to waterwalk in like three maps.

Should I play FE3 Book 2 or New Mystery?

I will train amelia and support her with franz and you can't stop me

>>717445232
It's not dead though. They made grinding in Engage Maddening nearly unfeasible because they know it detracts from the challenge people want on that difficulty.

>>717445393

>>717445318

but i like da big number and awesome crit animation

>>717445376
given the Trainee XP bonus it's closer to 4.5 levels
>>717445026
The problem is she arrives relatively late in FE8, so you have to actually *dedicate* grind time to get her up to speed instead of just passively using her like Ross/Ewan.
She's closer to a Nino than anything really.

fag offers a specific and unique niche for your cast and is good actually

>>717445513
Its still 9 levels, Ross just has an easier time getting there thanks to trainees requiring less effort through chip.

>>717444114
New Mystery and Revalation are very similar in that they both throw a shit ton of units at you and most of them are absolute dogshit past a certain point.

>>717445462
>one is bad
You wish, I just single out Amelia because she's a clear example of a 100% useless unit who necessitates grinding. If you want bad units, SS has a surprisingly large amount of them despite being so piss easy.

I like fire emblem

>>717422413 (OP)
Soon...

>>717445697
KYS

>>717445513
Amelia has better availability than Ewan since he functionally doesnt join until Ch13 on either route due to how late you get access to him in 12.
The est archetype is a dumb psyop because most of them dont even have that significant of a growth advantage over the other units in their game. People just convinced themselves that late joiner that requires a ton of effort must be good.

>>717445274
Odin is solidly "ok" in CQ, in that you don't really get a unit that does what he does until Leo. Odin suffers hard from trying to be a jack of all trades though and tends to struggle as both a player and enemy phase unit (even with his really solid passive), but he's also your best native Dark Mage so you either swap Corrin over to replace him in the role or deal with it.

>>717445657
There are more bad units in Revelation than there are UNITS TOTAL in Sacred Stones.
You literally cannot win this argument.

Realistically training Ewan is one of the worst things you can invest into.
If you invest on a Rev unit you can get a decent unit, get good pair up bonuses and even transfer that investment on an offspring unit.

The clear shitters in 8 are Amelia, Ewan and Marisa. Lady Lel could have been relevant if she joined with C Staves instead of D with all else held the same thanks to Barrier/Restore blasting but since those don't exist, she gets memed on. Neimi is a gba archer, we dont need to say anything more about her.

>>717445893
There are more unusable units in SS than there are in Rev. You have yet to adress the fact that every unit in Rev has some use and can even be made good with little to no grinding, while you literally can't do shit about the shitters that most the games give you besides grinding in degenerate manners.

>>717434780
Wow 3 houses was so bad it retained less than half the people for the v-tuber vomit.

>>717445840
Odin's problem is that his bases are iffy. If you want to serioisly use him that its just a matter of timing when you want to seal over for Vantage and maybe Life and Death later on.

>>717445840
He's not even that similar to Leo. There have been arguments in recent years that he's overall the better or more valuable unit.
He gets you Ophelia's paralogue and Ophelia herself, for one thing. He also has the meta-defining Samurai line, which he can pass to other mages including Leo for one of the most broken builds in the game.
He also has and is the best early Nos user.
You could only conclude that he's flatly worse if you don't look beyond surface level stats. There's a significant nuance to it that RV destroys in favor of its royal stomp.

>>717446087

Yup, that's a whole lot of shitters.

>>717422413 (OP)
I feel like the probabilities were too unreliable in this game for me to enjoy it. The accuracy and crit chances felt lower than normal, as did the amount of stats you could get on Level Up.
I also didn't enjoy the setting as much. While I did criticize Fates' plot a lot, the contrast from Hoshido to Nohr was great specially when you are exposed to their inhabitants. Meanwhile for a game that emphasizes the differences between War and Peace, both of them did most of the same methods and shared beliefs in Echoes.

You're objectively wrong.

I have yet to see a real counterargument to rev units all being useable through game mechanics without grinding while SS has several units who require the grind to function. All I see is whining about having to use the game mechanics in Rev while excusing grinding in other FE games.

Literally not even worth grinding them. It's why people always made jokes about it just being royals-only, because it's not really a joke.

>>717446889
The counterargument is that NO ONE WANTS TO *USE* THEM, niggerbrain. If your whole argument is "this sucks, but you suck as bad as this garbage", maybe your garbage ISN'T good. Nobody thinks 3/4 of the Thracia 776 cast is dogshit.

In any other game, this would be considered horrible.
But if it's Revelations, it's apparently ok.

Huh? It's literally the same as Fates.
Nami did this two games in a row.

>>717447185
>NO ONE WANTS TO *USE* THEM
Ah, just like most of the cast in the average FE game. However, you clearly have a bias against rev, so you'll pretend that people are super excited about using units like Radd

>>717447435
Radd is literally fine in the original games. What will it take to get through your thick skull? A unit being mediocre is fine, desirable even. Not every unit should start out as a godstomper.
But I think you know what the problem is, that's why you're not defending it, only pointing the finger to what you believe will exonerate your shit taste.

>>717447196
Yeah the blame is entirely with IS, they're the ones that gave her nothing to work with and told her to just draw her normal style when she can do more grounded designs just fine. Her Marth looks great.

>>717439241
>fates is better

>>717447521
Just as predicted, it's fine when any game but Rev does it. You just prove my point with every post you make.

>>717447602
She's drawn several FE characters from other games, and they usually look good.
But the models in Engage are awful, and many of the armor and hair designs she did suck, too.

>>717439241
>Fates is still better in story

>>717447312
Everyone hates rev though

>>717447730
She even drew Marth here with a more pronounced nose similar to Kozaki's style yet IS scrubbed off most of those details on the models to make them look more moe.

>>717446749
kay want me to tell you why nosferatu sucks in fates at least in conquest?

Second you have to deal with high resistance units like those foxes and fliers

Why would you be using mages against the enemies that are designed to have decent resistance against? Also you're exaggerating how much of those enemies appear.

while on the subject of Seth, he feels like a mistake, like he wasn't meant to have growths that high but he got mistaken for like Franz or something in the coding.

Guess I'll do Book 2 first since I did Book 1 a few years ago then play Shadow Dragon+New Mystery down the line.

>>717448838
Eh, Tits is pretty retardedly strong too, at least in the English version. For that matter FE7 Marcus is almost as dumb as Seth. Starting with the FE7 and up to FE9, IS just lost their minds for a moment and forgot how to design Jagens and mounts. They've always been strong units, but you really see the mouthbreather-tier design in these games specifically, with their low quality enemies, strong prepromotes, strong throwables, and stingy exp curves that force growers to muck around in the dirt too long.

>>717448783
Hana having lower bases in Rev even tho she joins later feels like a massive coding error, there's no way that could've been intentional.
>>717448836
Setsuna joining later than Takumi in Rev by a noticeable degree feels more in line with old FE of "oh you lost the good archer? here's the shitty one as a replacement"
>>717449198
Titania's main issue is that her affinity/supports aren't great and that she can't solo her game like Seth can, FE7 Marcus I'd argue is better than Titania honestly and I don't see how she's better.

>>717448838
seth does fall off a little bit lategame, it's just that FE8 enemies aren't strong enough for the difference to be very significant
boss EXP being busted is honestly what really breaks seth in terms of letting him keep up with the rest for the whole game

Forget the bad base stats for units in Rev. Can we talk about how for the first two chapters, it's pretty likely the only decent combat unit you'll have is Corrin? Your only other units are going to be Gunter, Azura and your servant, and if you get Felicia, she'll likely only be able to do chip damage.

>>717449516
The game sucks. End of.

>>717449516
Rev in general has a very slow paced, boring start that doesn't really pick up as maps get bigger and filled with time wasting gimmicks that aren't challenging, just slow the game's pacing to a crawl.
sure other entries can be pretty long drawn out slogs but Rev is one from start to finish, something that I think I could only give to FE2 or FE4.

>>717449516
Rev is just shittily balanced. It's designed for you to use the Royals, and nobody else.

>>717449346
Titania is considered better because Maniac Mode being played is only a recent development. Titania doesn't fall off on any other difficulty.

>>717449516
Gunther is pretty okay early on, especially if you have Felicia as your meido. Also, Azura is a dancer who also has unga bunga str growths, how can you be mad about getting her so early?

>>717449891
That's fair, but like she still can't Solo her game so I can't put her above Seth and FE7 Marcus.
She is top/high tier tho no doubt.

>>717422413 (OP)
Because it was made by someone who actually had a love for the originals and poured their soul into recreating them.

>>717450014
When I played on Lunatic, Gunter wasn't able to do shit besides be a pair up bot for Corrin. That's also only assuming you grind out Azura before and aren't trying to low turn count. Also anything that Azura can do, Corrin can do better, so using her for combat instead of singing is an opportunity cost.

>>717450102
I think FE7 Marcus is actually weaker in raw power in relation to Titania, but he's still better in his own game because most units in FE7 are shitters and enemies don't scale enough to threathen him.

>>717449516
You can get Mozu quickly, no? You don't really have a better heart seal candidate and no real reason not to grind her up in her chapter.

Reginn was a Seth unit.

>>717450014
the complaint is more directed at how samey and limited the early game is than the units themselves.
>>717450258
Totally true, that's what I'm saying, Titania being better than Marcus doesn't change that Marcus is better in his own game than Titania is, If Titania was in FE7 she'd take his spot as best unit.

>heroes tranny
kill yourself

>>717446183
Fantastical cope.

Titania falls off hard on all difficulties. She can’t even damage the final boss lol

>>717450352
>no reason not to grind her up in her chapter
I mean, the main reason is that others would like the exp as well, as usual. But it's even worse now, as good training opportunities are scarcer. So even Mozu is made worse, because everything is worse. Of course no one really uses the early Hoshidan, but that's not because they inherently can't be fixed. They're some of the few "bad" units who CAN be fixed.

Would a revelation no royals run really be that hard? Might do it after conquest so these babies shut up

>>717450915
The issue has never been that it's hard. It's just not fun. Hayato isn't a royal and he's pretty good. You can grind up one of the other Hoshidans and they'll put in a bit of work. There are some other non-royals with strong bases, like Reina and Shura.
But why subject yourself to the cuck cage for a game like Pooplation?

>>717450750
>the main reason is that others would like the exp as well, as usual.
Who, exactly? You're starting with what is probably an overleveled Corrin, an overleveled Felicia/Jakob, a dancer and a bad Jagen. Nothing early enough to take advantage of the chapter needs the xp.

>>717423001
>Is it good?
No. It was the game that *most* needed a total gameplay overhaul from the original, yet they decided to be extremely faithful to the dogshit. It's good by SRPG standards as a whole because the rest of the genre is mostly varying degrees of sleep-inducing and/or terrible

>>717451114
The early joining Hoshidans. Kaze, Hana, Tsubaki, Rinkah, etc. They really struggle without Mozu paralogue and maybe an invasion.

>>717451306
Earlier, I was told that FE8 was bad because of scrimblos like Amelia.
Sorry, but Fates isn't FE now, since it has like 40 scrimblos.

>Scrimblo
Wtf is this lingo and where did it come from?

>>717451523
FE8 is bad because most of the maps are boring and enemies just stand there waiting for you to roll over them with your many overpowered characters.

>>717451612
seriously answer? it came from smash brothers where people would character roster faggot between "Edgy JRPG guy" vs "Scrimblo Bimbo" or something.

>>717451203
Outside of Kaze none of those units are particularly great.

>>717451612
Scrimblo bimblo. Twitter meme making fun of Smash rosterfaggotry mascot characters, e.g. Banjo-Kazooie.
It was adopted during the FE relays earlier this year to describe off-meta shitters like Amelia and Nino (or whoever you desire as the target of your shitposting at the moment), and has spread in that newer context to other FE communities, strangely.

>>717444138
do you know how old that system is

>>717451612
In FE terms, it has become "character who is bad or mid but I'll devote all my resources to because they're my waifu or a meme character"

>>717451612
It's Smash lingo for retarded 90s platformer mascots that only like 10 people care about. /feg/ started using it as slang for "unit I don't like" because its average user was dropped on their head multiple times as a child I guess.
It's good short hand for "I am a retard and my opinion does not matter".

>>717451815
>and has spread in that newer context to other FE communities
Examples? I don't watch any FEtubers other than occasionally Excelblem

>>717451718
Kaze is arguably one of the worst of them, dude has no bulk and the stats are actually pretty big now. Regardless, we're talking about Mozu here, not some demigod. All are candidates if she is.

If you got the means to emulate it, it's far from the worst experience. Though I'd say play it after you get other FEs under your belt if you still want more FE after that. It's fun to experience a relatively faithful remake that gives you a look into a pretty experimental entry in the series.

Yeah, get the fuck out. Even the most toxic gameplay thread is worth its weight in gold next to your disgusting ERP sessions and sales charts.

Only the last chapter of Fire Emblem 4 left, what a ride it has been.

I've been told Julius is extremely hard.

>>717452358
>I've been told Julius is extremely hard
Julia shits on him for free

>>717446394
Lel isnt even "bad", she's just annoying to use because she's a level 3 troub with d staves that joins halfway through the game.

>>717452312
Relays aren't gameplay discussion, they're circlejerks where shitty players with massive egos stroke their egos.

>>717452424
getting Julia is harder than fighting Julius with her.
Somehow failing to do that then your in for a slobberknocker of a mess.

>>717445318
>ecelebs are stealing scrimblo now

>>717452509
you die mad about it

I'm just starting FE 12 (new mystery of the emblem?) with a translated patch. Should I use the group 7 recruits or the SD veterans? It's just that group 7 is filled with cavaliers. Should I reclass some of them? Also Kris is a cavalier as well so it's Kris, not-Abel and not-Cain and Cecil lmao

>>717452358
OR I COULD USE THE BERSERK STAFF

>>717452358
A hyper-autistic autist might notice I've let Finn die btw.

>>717452358
>all those empty spaces
Holy RIP.

>>717452621
Luke and Caeda (and obviously Kris) are the best of the prologue squad. barring them, Draug is good for a little while if you reclass him. Luke and Cecil are fine to reclass into mercenary/myrmidon for a while but Draug should actually reclass into cavalier or fighter. the rest range from meh to bad, thee archers are good next chapter at least

>>717452804
Finn is the only death I've had.

The rest I just failed to recruit ... by killing them, which boils down to the same, I guess ...

>>717452902
Bro? Your valkyrie staff?

>>717452890
Caeda is a SD veteran and since she's a flier I was already using her. Is it just me or is Draug fast as fuck and would make a good hero?

>>717452890
Also, do the initial questions affect Kris' stats? I said I was a farmboy assuming that would give me good strength growths lol

>>717452935
Didnt pass it on. Yes I'm a filthy casual who doesnt optimise runs

>>717451612
meme from Smash about Scrimblo being someone's favorite childhood video game character which got used in relay threads to designate units that some relayers would dump all chapter ressources to make them as good as possible
so now it means giving a unit the Est treatment

fire emblem

>>717452298
Yeah came off out or nowhere.

>>717441112
it took a decade for players to realize that garon is a giga chad and corrin was the soijack. im happy the community is finally reading fire emblem instead of mashing start

>>717441112
This would've been great if Garon wasn't a gooey monster all along.
Also fuck Revelations for never giving us proper dialogue with him.

My SD Minerva would've solod that dummy Hardin. Kinda wish these games had something similar to path of radiance=>radiant dawn to import units

people saying fire emblem games are easy are either playing engage and other trash, or they follow guides

>>717452940
yeah Draug has a lot of base speed so he is actually one of your fastest guys if you get him out of knight. he's good staying as a dracoknight for a while after promotion to keep his lance rank, but if you don't have merged class sets then fighter is probably fine, he can double and kill stuff with an iron axe for some time
>>717453076
yes, they affect his initial stats and growths a little bit, although you can't pick more than 1 option that boosts the same stat out of the 3 questions, so it's really just about whether you want the extra bases or the extra growths

>>717451874

>>717454045
Engage isn't easy though, it filters Advance Wars veterans.

would've been even greater if we had any info about the war's history

I'm surprised there are still people who don't know what Scrimblo Bimblo means. It's been in parlance within the wider Nintendo sphere of gaming fanbases for a while now.

She being a prepromote fucks her so bad.
Michalis joins several chapters later but he is already on par with her barring atrocious luck.
Talking of him, I know he is only playable in FE12 but to what was his role in FE3.
Here he dies getting the tome needed to face Gharnef. Does he do that in FE3 too?

>>717451927
>kaze is arguably one of the worst of them
Let's look at his competition for exp of those early Hoshidans.
>hana
Not happening without going out of your way to grind skirmishes
>tsubaki
His strength comes from being your only flier, Reina shows up a few chapters later and is much better, and you get Camilla in the following chapter along with Beruka. You're not starving for fliers. When he's your only option, he's good, but he's bench material.
>rinkah
Primary use is a strength pair up in the early game, +4 is no joke. As a unit for combat though she's pretty bad and needs to promote in order to get access to magic since you aren't getting a bolt axe for a while. By the time she does get access to her magic Hayato has probably completely eclipsed whatever potential she has.

>>717454220
You mean
>filters AW """"""veterans""""""
Excelblem among others did just fine with Engage.

>>717454249
Holy shit this is next-level obsession. Get help.

>>717454289
Fates in general can be fixed just by expanding on stuff in it's background that's already there, which is more then what i can say about a few other games.
You honestly can't fix something like Engage's writing without removing the ambition from it.

>>717453728
Don't care, I want to have sex with Corrin not Garon

>>717454289
Fates had some actual lore once but they threw most of it out. I'm assuming the painting is one of the leftovers from that first draft where they actually would have gone into the old war and given us more context about Hoshido and Nohr's long rivalry.

>>717454393
>Engage's writing
>too hard to fix
Lmao.

>>717454350
Does your translation work well? My english patch is kinda wonky and unstable I'm fairly fluent in spanish having studied it in uni so if you're willing to share your rom (if it works properly) I'd appreciate it.

>>717454249
probably because we've been doing screenshot lp's for years and nobody wants to deal with that shit or your crippling autism.

>>717454289

>>717454512
well how would you fix it, or is it just impossible?

>>717454393
Can't really fix 3H either without completely axing Byleth and maybe axing the Mole People (or at least seriously rewriting them).

>>717454743
Yeah everything else about 3H works just fine but the fact that it all revolves around the Moles and Byleth to a lesser extent completely kills it's full potential, it's frustrating because i like all the other aspects to it but those really do bring down the entire package.

>>717454393
>fire emblem games just need MORE writing

>>717443845
Not enough Lapis

>>717454435

When can we get a protagonist to dress as slutty like Corrin, again?

>>717454829
To my point on Engage, Engage would unironically have better writing if there was less of it and if it was more of a generic, stereotypical FE.
so thanks for agreeing with me.

>>717454743
Byleth is fine, the moles I agree and you can tell that the writers had no fucking clue what to do with them.
I found it hilarious how we had another game set in Fodlan and they still managed to do nothing interesting with them, not even make them playable or have a route.

>>717454952

>>717454990
>jaegen0

>>717454602
Thats strange because the translation I was playing in english ages ago worked fine (Stopped on the Hardin fight chapter).
A few supports were in english but other than that good.
I got the spanish ones here.
https://retrogametalk.com/repository/nds-roms/fire-emblem-shin-monshou-english-patched/
You should try the english one first.
Note the spanish TL is divided into female kris and male Kris rom due to gender pronoun issues regarding language.
Anyways also wanted to point how dumb Gharnef is for having the Falchion with him instead of thowing it in the ocean or something.

>>717455142
Femleth was pretty slutty, but she could be sluttier and classier. Her Enlightened design is pretty good.
Hopefully if the art staff learns anything from the last few games, it's that people like it when the female avatar is a hot slut.

>>717454350
Yes, they just said "Fuck it, everyone is playable!" for NM.

>>717455351
Except Jagen....

>>717454730
Commit either to being a goofy spoof of Fire Emblem or a serious story with themes of family both found and born into.

>>717455303
Byleth looks too much like an actual whore, it's not attractive.

>>717455243
Thanks. It might be because the rom TL I'm using is missing the DSi binaries so twilight menu++ is kinda unstable as a result.
Also
>Gordin after a whole war and training with Jeorge is still shit tier
H O W ?

>>717454351
My point is, Kaze is not some shoo-in, no more than the rest. I don't know what magnetic force field Kaze possesses that causes people to overrate him. He has crap bulk and crap strength and uses the weakest weapon type on top of it. He's already borderline in Birthright but now the enemies actually have respectable stats.
Mozu has similar issues but can kind of grow into a player phase unit.
The broader point I'm making is, these units, despite their flaws, are some of the only salvageable ones in the route without a ton of grinding. They can be made into contributing units with some elbow grease, but people sorta just selectively shit on them based on their admittedly terrible join chapter.

>>717454952
she loves alcryst more than you retarded ass

>>717455184
>Byleth is fine
LMAO
Silver Snow being shit tells you everything about how much the game suffers accommodating that black hole of charisma.

>>717454350
Still kinda pisses me off that New Mystery didn't give multiple options to snap the brainwashed clerics on the final map. Having to force you to use Merric, Julian, Sirius, and Minerva on the final map to save everyone is restrictive. Marth easily should be able to save his own sister and that Michalis can't save Maria despite how much she loves both her siblings is crazy. Maybe any of the wolfguard, Nyna's guards, or Camus' old troop to help with Nyna.

>>717455509
It's a matter of perspective, really.

>>717454730
Lumera doesn't die right away, she dies a little later on (around Chapter 10)
Better pacing and presentation for a lot of cutscenes
Treehouse didnt localize the game
Better distribution of supports so a lot of the "samey" ones arent frontloaded.

>>717455509
She's not supposed to be a whore but a retarded autist who can't understand how not to be a whore.

>>717455479
>or a serious story with themes of family
I guess it is impossible to fix then because I'm fucking sick of stories about family, that's all Komuro knows how to fucking write.

blyat shitters they are laughing at your self insert again......

>>717455479
I can agree with that, Engage tried too hard to have it both ways and failed at it, in general Engage has serious committed issues with its entire design which is really funny to word like that, but it's the truth.
>>717455639
That would help out a lot but it also feels like it's asking for too much at this point, either way I approve of both of these replies.

avatars are cancer

>>717455619
You have to use those? Hope the deployment slots are actually expanded.

If you need convenient evil men to scrub all culpability from any other character (EDELGARD ISN'T BAD IT'S ALL THE MOLES) you probably have a shitty story.

>>717423001
its incredibly unique. I'm glad the series didn't keep a ton of what gaiden did but I liked gaiden for trying to experiment. fuck witches though I don't know what the fuck kaga was thinking with magic bitches that can warp in and oneshot your dudes with no res

>>717456023
Silver Snow is just Verdent Wind without a real main character to hold it together.

>>717456226
The funny thing is, the characters have every reason to hate each other, but they decided to add obvious evil to the story anyway.

>>717456032
But enough about Marth's games.

>take pairings out of the game
Huh? Roy literally has a harem of girls to choose to end up with

>>717456048
Cute pairing

bring back dancers technically being able to do combat, it was funny. also the dancer variations of the battle themes where kino, real "Oh shit lene/Laura/lalum is about to fucking die"

>>717456368
If they needed moles they should have at least killed them off Act 1 if they weren't going to do shit in Act 2

>>717456476

>>717456628
I think he means fight but not able to actually attack.

>>717455986
>Veyle
No.
>Somniel
That change is pointless

>>717456032
the final victory of gameplay over fluff

>>717456685
Dancers in 3/4/5 and 12+ can all fight and actively attack if you want them too. Hell the first one had access to rapiers and wasnt completely hopeless in a pinch.

>>717456032
FE6 unironically has one of the better FE stories and is miles ahead of FE7's shart.

FE6 shits are the lowest IQ fags ever.

>>717456896
He used examples from 6 specifically though.

>>717456790
>That change is pointless
The Somniel is made of so many plotholes in and of itself.
>you can only teleport to it, but Lumera didn't teleport to it at the start
>it's not used to escape bad situations like chapter 10, 11, or 21
>it can move, but it's never used to circumvent needing boats, which you have to ride at least thrice, instead of using your floating island
Just get rid of it. Like the time crystal. Don't make it part of the fucking lore!

>>717456851
The gameplay is figuring out how not to miss attacks (using Rutger).

>>717456056
maddening is utterly miserable don't bother.

>>717457102
>Rutger dodges and kills everything that comes in front of him
>Milady flies across the map killing the rest
Good old FE6

>>717456032
Who's "people"? I still think it was a dumbed down overcolorful babby game, coming off the innovative heels of FE5. It's criminal how many cool new ideas they cut or simplified without adding much of substance. It's even worse that it became normative for a generation of FE fans, when FE had always been willing to experiment with interesting mechanics since the beginning.

>>717457224
that sucks, do you know how hard mode in 3h compares to engage? I wish there was an option in between

>>717457096
Its obvious that teleporting to the Somniel requires some sort of actual time/effort involved and so when you're running away from people that are trying to kill you, there's not enough time to pull off the ritual needed to transport an entire army.
Making it into a fort in Lythos creates the Garreg Mach problem.

>>717457096
>it's not used to escape bad situations like chapter 10, 11, or 21
Nah it makes sense in these chapters because of the situation the party is in. Notice that you don't get to look around the battlefield after these chapters as well, you don't have time to access the Somniel.

>>717456056
Not bad at all. People who whine about it, unironically suck at 3H.

We need an FE game in a different setting. The medieval era and dragons is just too played out at this point.

>>717457305
>Who's people
>It became normative for a generation of FE fans
I'd say that explains it. Fe6 wasn't bad, but it has a surprisingly good reputation all things considered.

>>717457415
That's like saying Dragon Quest needs a different setting. It's part of its identity. At most, they can play around with different medieval settings like Fates did or even go for Age of Exploration pirate emblem but changing too much just isn't FE and you might as well just make a new series.

>>717457346
>Its obvious that [headcanon]
You rush back to Firene Castle, but apparently had time to stop for whatever made-up ritual you just thought of.

>>717457403
>you don't have time to access the Somniel.
Again, this is just made up. This would also apply if the "Somniel" was just some base camp like in Hopes, but it's even worse because you just teleport to the Somniel in Engage.
It just shouldn't be part of the narrative. It's that simple. The fact that one of the first plot elements in the game is a sequence justifying the existence of the Somniel makes it worse.

How can Gordin even compare lmao? Lv 2 and out of the box is better than lv 5 Gord

>>717457409
>Not bad at all
Saying this to someone that never played 3H is really funny since you can literally softlock in chapter 13 if you don't know exactly what to expect and do, but yeah man people just suck lol

>>717457415
I'd be on board with a Roman, or Chinese like fe but the medieval setting can't become played out.

>>717457701
Alternatively they could lean harder into the magic fortress side of the somniel and make you a guerrilla type shock force that has to kill the target and flee when reinforcements arrive or something similar.

>>717457814
All you have to do with Chapter 13 is not neglect your in house units.

>>717456180

She crafted a boy to be her perfect man, and only realized it whens he was done.

That's what you're saying, brotha

>>717457415
FE without lords, sentai-colored paladins and wyvern riders is not a fire emblem

>>717457701
Yes, it is established that they teleport to Somniel but we dont know how long it takes or what Alear has to do to get the team to go there. You are the one that's applying the no limits fallacy to it.

>>717457981
Ah so you've never played the game on maddening, by bad

>>717457701
>Again, this is just made up
How so? During 11 you are running away from Sombron's forces. It would make sense that the party doesn't have time to access the Somniel. If you are claiming that the party not instantly teleporting to the Somniel is a plothole I don't get it because it's never shown to be used that way.

>>717457981
>>717458091
for some reason this seems to be an issue i've seen in a lot of people playing 3H of picking a house then going "you know what? I'm just going to recruit everyone and neglect my house units, wtf why am i soft locked?"
>>717458096
Why wouldn't you train the units you start off with? Surely you didn't pick Golden Deer JUST for Claude, right?

>>717450421
How so?
Outside of her being surprisingly useful in her base form for a long time, I dont see how.
She is cure, however.

>>717457415
Shut up IS, make me another game with blue haired lords fighting evil dragons already.

If Somniel was some random fortress on the ground in Lythos, then it either becomes a place that the cast can reasonably travel to or from on foot which makes the world feels smaller than it is (3H) or it becomes a place that you can quickly access via teleportation which changes nothing compared to the existing Somniel.

>>717458389
There's never been a Fire Emblem game where you softlock if you don't train specific units. I don't care that much, not like I'm going to play 3H anyway, I just thought it was a curious thing to say. The appeal of this series is in training whoever you want and making a strategy with your preferred team, so it's kinda dumb if you *actually* need to train specific units in order not to die in a fiery inferno.

>>717455709
I just went with the easiest way to fix the story. There's room for family themes since you have a bunch of siblings, some of whom have parents. Yunaka's backstory actually has a nice parallel to Alear's arc with her rejecting her father figure and forging an independent identity for herself. Problem is no one sees it unless they pursue her support with Citrinne.

>>717458149
>You are the one that's applying the no limits fallacy to it.
There is no stated cost to it. All you have to do is think about it.
To assume there is anything else (especially in a Komuro story) is silly.

>>717458369
Your post relies on assuming Komuro even remembered the Somniel was a thing. It's not ever mentioned again until the finale.

>>717458389
I picked golden deer because I thought I was going to get a unique route since the whole point of the game was 3 warring factions. Instead what I got was the first half of the game is copy pasted between the four routes. Why bother trying to use in house units when I can poach the entire school and use the units I actually want to?

>>717458391
>given right at the start
>solid unit her entire book, never falls off
>already extra good, because of Seidr Shell and her being the only Canto 3 unit at the time
Like the only unit in her book she didn't nuke was the invincible Fafnir. Even FEdel could be killed by her.

This is true though.

>>717458660
Once again, you are applying the no limits fallacy to Alear's ability to access the Somniel via teleportation.

>>717458893

Ok. Give the stated limits Nami wrote for it.
I'll wait.

>>717458660
>Your post relies on assuming Komuro even remembered the Somniel was a thing
No, it assumes that the gameplay team took away access to the Somniel to make the gameplay match the story (which I find it usually does really well despite the poor main plot).

>>717458389
Anon the biggest issue with chapter 13 is surviving the initial wave of overtuned snipers with poison strike and assassins with pass. The house units (except the lord) are literally worthless in this map since the biggest issue is the inital couple of turns. Please play maddening first before talking about it.

>games
>plural
giga retard as expected from a gayden fag

>>717457342
hard mode is very easy and may give you the occasional difficulty bump, but you can play the game as intended versus on maddening where half the investment options are a trap and the game will spawn in units with the pass skill behind you on enemy phase specifically to kill your backliners and make you burn a turnwheel use. if you know exactly what you're doing maddening isn't hard, the problem is knowing what you're doing means breaking and bending all of the incremental progression mechanics which means hours of your life spent on the stupid fishing minigame and a hundred at least tea parties. it feels like the entire campaign is a miserable grinding session, not a tactics game.

>>717458930
I do agree that removing access improves the game, but as I said before, it would make more sense if you were using a camp that had to be set up, rather than the "magical teleportation floating fortress that the enemy can never access."

>>717458970
and that's without accounting the 41 speed assassin's.

>>717457701
>>717458149

Gameplay-wise at least there are his blue portals to leave the area after the battle is over. I'd assume they exist story-wise too which is why it's not just a matter of thinking about it and leaving.

2-2-6-5-8
Huh Gordin is still better, lets see after some more levels.

>>717458929
That is literally my point. Just because they didnt clearly state any defined limits, it doesnt necessarily mean that Alear can teleport whenever he wants.
If that was the case then Chapters 11/22 would give you access to the Somniel.

>>717458572
Alright but hear me out, why not take full advantage of selecting 8 characters at the start of the game, and then using them? No matter the context it seems really silly to do.
>>717458757
Now that's more understandable, but on a second run you know what's coming up so surely you'll put in the bear minimum effort into those house units.
>>717458970
I'm not saying it's easy, it's not, but to be soft locked in that chapter requires more bad decisions than just not training the house units, but that's typically the biggest excuse i hear and not how retarded maddening is designed with it's Snipers and Assassins.
Fire Emblem honestly doesn't work with this level of difficulty in mind and I haven't seen proof that it does otherwise.

>>717458993

>>717458886
Only for Roy, it’s essentially proto-Engage

They should revisit the sci-fi emblem idea again.

>>717459187
>If that was the case then Chapters 11/22 would give you access to the Somniel.
Ask yourself: did Nami make that decision, or did the gameplay team?

>>717459196
because maddening's speed creep encourages you to level up quickly, which means immediately dropping whoever isn't good, pouring all of the exp into who is and leveling up the bench fodder with adjutants later so they can maybe survive a round of combat on ch 13 before getting back on the bench.

>>717459036
If it's a matter of preference or tone, sure, but I'm not seeing the plothole issues. The only thing I could kinda see being an issue is the Somniel being able to move but you could easily fix that with a line about it having poor travel speed and being inefficient or something else.

>>717459380
Bro, your Asgardr?

>>717459326
Right back at you.

>>717459428
10-11 and 21-22 were written in a way such that the cast would have no time to rest. This is represented in gameplay by you not being able to access the Somniel (their primary method of rest).

>>717459468
>but I'm not seeing the plothole issues.
There are back-to-back sequences in Engage where you "arrive too late" to save both Flora Port and the port town in Elusia.
Because you had to travel by boat.
This time is also used to brainwash Veyle using the helmet.

>>717459509
In a real FE game, not a decaying corpse infested with powercreep, featurecreep and yugioh effect text

>>717459306

>>717459591
>10-11 and 21-22 were written in a way such that the cast would have no time to rest.
So were 4-5, 8-9-10, and 13-14 but you get to rest there.
It's not consistent. It's just a plot hole.
Also, let's not forget Chapter 12:
>"We're wandering this desert, dying of heat and thirst. No enemies are pursuing us, but I guess we can't just go back to the Somniel for a drink at the cafe and a swim in the pool!"

>>717459596
Alear can't teleport to places that he hasnt visited physically.
The somniel is too slow compared to other methods of travel
Pick your poison

>>717459720
>and yugioh effect text
You wish. FEH is far far far worse.

>>717459817
>Alear can't teleport to places that he hasnt visited physically.
Literally untrue, because the first place you teleport is a part of Lythos that Alear never went to.

>>717459762
>8/9/10
>No time to rest
That is blatantly incorrect. As are your other "counterexamples"

Are anons actually arguing about the Somniel's absence from the story right now? It's clearly just an adult daycare for dumb idiots who like to collect gilded dog poop. The story doesn't care about it because the writers didn't even care about.

>retards talking about plot contrivances
(lol

>>717422413 (OP)
Cause it's a decent remake if anything I wish Nintendo would have went all out with it and just move production to the switch. We got 3H so I ain't that mad about it but it stings.

>>717459984
Alear when she sees her cock

>>717459984
I'm just saying it doesn't cause any plotholes. Hell, if what you say is true then that makes my point stronger because the main argument is about whether the Somniel led to plot contrivances.

>>717459942
>Lythos
There's a difference between a castle in Lythos spitting you out in a place right below it and one teleporting you halfway across the continent.

>>717459984
>The story doesn't care about it
It was the second piece of lore the game told you, right after "Lumera is your mom and the queen."
It should never have been mentioned at all. It being loredumped just makes plotholes.

>>717459979
>>No time to rest
Bro, there are multiple cutscenes of "Oh no, [x] is happening! We have to hurry!"
Shit like Ivy arriving, Morion deciding to go out to battle alone, and Morion's body being stolen so you have to chase it.
Also lmao at you ignoring the Chapter 12 stuff. When you ACTUALLY had time to rest, and the characters just chose to boil in the desert instead!

>>717459196
>requires more bad decisions than just not training the house units
A single lucky gambit and stray arrow can kill you even if you invested hard into dodgetanking, the assassins can breaze past your Byleth and kill your Lord, the vast majority of your house members are a liability that gets doubled, the chapter just fucking sucks and to argue that you need to make the worst possible desions to soft lock in it (whatever the fuck that means) is retarded.

>>717460174
>There's a difference between a castle in Lythos spitting you out in a place right below it
It's not in Lythos, and your argument was "a place Alear had been before." Alear had never been there, they went straight from Sombron's castle into the bed in the Somniel.
It's a plothole, and you're ignoring it because you know it means you lied before. Take it as a lesson for the next thread your slither out of the abortion bucket into.

>>717460216
To be fair if your house leader is weak that's entirely on you.

>>717460180
>>717460258
You are so fucking retarded.
Chapter 9 and 10 clearly had enough time between the events for the cast to rest considering they needed to traverse through large chunks of Elusia.
Compare this to 21 and 22 which start literally seconds apart from each other.

>>717459596
>There are back-to-back sequences in Engage where you "arrive too late" to save both Flora Port and the port town in Elusia.
I don't see the plothole here.

look at them wailing at their own self hatred

>>717460258
>It's not in Lythos
Somniel is a castle floating above Lythos. You also claimed that the first place they got sent to was a part of Lythos that Alear never went to.

are you guys seriously complaining that they didnt write MORE USELESS FILLER FLUFF ABOUT ALEAR TRAVELING THE CONTINENT BETWEEN CHAPTERS??
DEATH TO ALL STORYFAGS

>>717460409
Yes I'm sure Claude and Dimitri are capable of surviving those assassins, to say nothing of Seteth.

Dumb discussion

>>717460595
...are you being sarcastic? It's honestly hard to tell because you're just correct.

>>717460428
>Chapter 9 and 10 clearly had enough time between the events for the cast to rest considering they needed to traverse through large chunks of Elusia.
No, it was stated that they hurried, to chase the corpse in a fucking blizzard.
You're just lying again.

>>717460473

Very retarded fanbase

>>717460706

How do you know that it would be near-instant?

>>717460578
>Somniel is a castle floating above Lythos.
No, it moves.
>You also claimed that the first place they got sent to was a part of Lythos that Alear never went to.
Which is true. Very good. You can read, or at least are learning to.
Wait until you get to the part of Engage where Sombron's twelve red Emblems from other worlds can all speak, despite being red emblems and thus cannot speak.

>>717460701
Yeah you've never played maddening, enjoy the final (you) and feel free to get the final word in.

>>717460776
>How do you know that it would be near-instant?
Because Engage has time-of-day for its chapters, and the time doesn't change between many chapters. Like, chapters 7 and 8 are both at the same sunset. How long is a sunset? Not even an hour?

>>717460813
>spoiler
Honestly fine with them breaking that rule because it was for fanservice. Would have been perfect if they actually modeled the Dark Emblems though.

>>717460820
I did, I specifically did my Silver Snow run on Maddening. It's not a free map because Seteth is mediocre but he's also weaker that the house leaders should be.

>>717450547
most characters can't damage ashnard

>>717460985
Then you should know Seteth is incapable of surviving, post clear.

Ivy: The ritual will take place at Destinea Cathedral. You must hurry. And do be careful. Since the Fell Dragon's return, Father has not been himself.
Alear: I see...
Ivy: That is the extent of what I know. Come, Zelkov, Kagetsu. Let us leave this place.
Alear: What are you going to do?
Ivy: Whatever I can. Without taking sides. If we meet again, Divine Dragon... I pray it is not as enemies.
Alear: Let's head to Elusia.
Diamant: Yes, we have to hurry!

>>717460896
No, I mean how do you know using the Somniel to travel like you said would be near-instant? We only see the Somniel move at the end of the game with no mention about its travel speed.

>>717461092
Alear: The deeper we venture into Elusia, the worse this blizzard gets. Is this the way to Destinea Cathedral?
Alfred: I don't know. In this snow, it's hard to tell where we're going.
Diamant: Gah... We don't have time to get lost! Hold on. I see someone up ahead.
Veyle: Hm? Is that you, Alear?
Alear: Veyle!
Diamant: You know her?
Alear: She's a friend. Veyle, how did you get here?
Veyle: I... I don't know.
Alear: You don't know how you crossed the border into another country?
Veyle: Well, how about you? You look worried. Is something the matter?
Alear: We're trying to reach Destinea Cathedral, but we got lost in the snow.
Veyle: If it's the cathedral you're looking for, head that way.
Alear: You know where it is?
Veyle: Uh-huh. You're close. See the really tall tree over there? Use that as a landmark.

>Chapters 9 and 10 took place back to back bro

>>717461072
I don't recall, I beat SS and then sold my copy of 3H because it's a bad game.

>>717461092
No, man. They all stood around for two hours to do an incantation to summon a wormhole to the Somniel.
They said "hurry" only metaphorically.

>>717461129
Again: how did I forge my weapons between chapters 7 and 8, and it's still sunset outside, if it wasn't near-instant?
If you wanna say "Oh, it doesn't line up with story, it's just a gameplay thing" that can be fine. The issue though is that you're claiming it's NOT a plothole.

>>717461194
So you didn't bother to beat any other route and just shitposted for the sake of it?
>sold my copy of 3H because it's a bad game
Based, all is forgiven anon

Of all the things to complain about with Engage's writing the logistics of the Spaceship Alear is not what anyone's priority should be. Who fucking cares how the Somniel works when it's already incredibly stupid to begin with.

>>717461313
I beat every route, that's how I knew it was a bad game before selling it.

>>717461387
I don't know why we can't just have a war camp like in Awakening.

>>717461237
Chapters 7/8/9 took place im Brodia. They then took some unspecified amount of time to cross Elusia on foot, got lost, found Veyle and got to the Cathedral. There is more than enough time for them to access the Somniel to rest and prep for battle.
Compare this to Chapter 11 which starts with you running away from Veyle and the Hounds as you try to escape the Cathedral.

>>717461387
It's involved in so many plotholes, it should be derided.

>>717461480
Hopes brought it back, and it was cool for it. It even had different sky boxes based on where the story was at the moment.

>>717461480
No War Camp in 3H and Engage because muh recognizable memorable hub

>>717459016
thanks for the info anon, I definitely am not going to bother with that. I'll stick to hard

>>717459596
To be fair, the only time we see the Somniel moving it's to a portal that opened right above it. There's nothing indicating it's actually fast.

>>717461237
>Again: how did I forge my weapons between chapters 7 and 8, and it's still sunset outside, if it wasn't near-instant?
>If you wanna say "Oh, it doesn't line up with story, it's just a gameplay thing" that can be fine. The issue though is that you're claiming it's NOT a plothole.
How are you claiming using the Somniel to move from place to place would be near instant? For it to be a plothole it would have to be mentioned somewhere that it could be used to move from place to place quickly. That would make it a problem because the party moves on the overview map instead of using the Somniel. If there is no showing of the Somniel being used for this purpose, there is no plothole.

>>717461489
>Chapters 7/8/9 took place im Brodia.
Yep. In one evening.
>They then took some unspecified amount of time to cross Elusia on foot
And there's no indication they ever stopped. They even stated they were hurrying.
Everything you're saying to PRAY that it's not a plothole is just headcanon. You have to actively deny the game's own writing to make your argument. It's pathetic.
Nami sucks at writing. Get over it. We already had this in Fates, too.

>>717461532
You have yet to prove why turning it into some random fortress in Lythos would be better for the writing.

>>717461480
having the post-map exploration be the "hubs" would've been the coolest
just paste some tents on your pre-existing map models, add some merchants that follow your army and you're good

>>717461532
>It even had different sky boxes based on where the story was at the moment.
Man, one of the things I hated most about Garrag Mach was how static it was. Literally two modes, you never see it get repaired.

I think engage is the first game I've ever played where I actually skipped the story and dialogue
not counting re-plays or mmo's obviously

>>717461579
>How are you claiming using the Somniel to move from place to place would be near instant?
Again: Chapter 7 takes place at sunset. A sunset is only a few minutes long. Chapter 8 takes place during THE SAME SUNSET. So if you forged your weapons, it means that Chapters 7, 8, and the time at the Somniel were all only maybe a span of 10 minutes.
How is that NOT instant?

>>717461627
>In one evening
How can you prove that they all took place in one evening? Where in the narrative did they ever imply this?

>>717461703
Bro actually sat through Fates' 3 shitty stories.

>>717461643
That's actually a really cool idea, can't work for every map but most would work fine.

>>717461731
>How can you prove that they all took place in one evening?
Engage actually has a steady day/night cycle for the main story. Go check the chapters. The whole game is genuinely only like four days long.

>>717461387
FE (or Nintendo) fans' priorities are always very weird

>>717459942
Alfred's group had been there though.

>>717461632
Simply not having a floating magic sky fortress is better than having one.

>>717461742
I only just started revelation but I might skip those too desu

>>717461801
That makes no sense unless you're going to imply that they fought Hortensia on the bridge, travelled to Brodia castle fought Ivy and then travelled to the border and fought Ivy again all in a couple of hours.

>>717461852
Yes, the scene explains that royals come and go. The magic works on a whitelist.
It's the first fucking chapter. How did you not play the FIRST chapter?!

>>717461729
I'm talking about using the Somniel to travel because the original discussion was about whether the party arriving too late to Flora Port or Elusia was a plothole. If it is, show me what the party could have done with the Somniel instead that shows said plothole.

>>717461920
They unironically did. The game is dumb, but it's what happened.
One day in Lythos, one in Firene, one in Brodia that also delves into Elusia and ends in the escape, two days in Solm, sailing to and from Firene and ending up at Castle Elusia, Lythos again, and then the final chapter.
All of those are each one day, except Solm which is two.

Engage’s story is retarded and bad and the only people still arguing about it in 2025 are bad faith actors who just want to drive down thread quality by arguing for the sake of arguing.

>>717461973
>show me what the party could have done with the Somniel instead that shows said plothole.
The Somniel moves, as part of the plot.
Just fly the Somniel, then teleport down. The intro of the game shows there's no restrictions where it drops you, just that it's below the island.

>>717459734
Thank you
