Tbh I think some of the “No one’s talking about Engage anymore” claims boil down to people not looking outside their bubbles. I’m one of the few who loves both 3H and Engage so I look into both their communities a lot and I will say you see little talk of Engage in 3H circles unless to criticize it so if you only hang out in those circles of course you’ll get the “No one talks about Engage” impression. And while Engage does overall get less fan works every day than 3H, it still receives a lot more daily than the “Engage Fell Off” crowd would have you believe (they make it sound like its tags only get filled monthly). If you look at the accounts who make these claims, you’ll notice they primarily follow people who dislike or don’t care for Engage. I’ve seen dead fandoms and Engage isn’t one of them. So for some the answer to “Why is no one talking about Engage anymore?” is “because you only interact with people who don’t care for Engage”.

Hello anon ! I am glad you enjoyed both games !

And honestly I think you pretty much well explained the situation. As to whether ot not Engage receives more fancontent then 3H every day, I can't really tell since I don't try to compare the two but I agree Engage's fandom isn't a dead one at all, and if people searched for Engage related content, then they would see that for a game this short it does received more fancontent they believe it does.

What is actually weird about this is that... why does it matter whether or not Engage is being talked less then 3 H ? That's not really an indicator of it's quality.

Just to give an example, I am in 2 fandom : Vanitas no Carte and Fire emblem. Vanitas no carte is by miles better written then Engage or any Fire emblem game story and it receives little fan content. I just checked. It received like 2 fan content this day, while Engage already had 8 of them. What I am saying is that it doesn't matter if Engage isn't as popular as 3H because it's not an indicator of it's quality and if the people who keeps saying no one talked about it tried just for a second to look, they would actually see the fandom is still active. But of course if some people didn't like it, why would they want to talk about it ?

what's more is that everytime someone bring that topic up it turns into a Engage hating thing where people will trash on the story, the characters even the GAMEPLAY and GRAPHICS and FREAKING MUSIC to say "Yeah look 3H is better at those", just to remove the game of any redeeming quality... you think that's not going to make fans not want to look at Engage ? or not discourage fans ? It is, it will obviously depress fans to see people trashing a thing they love, so they'll move on to another plateform where they can see some Engage appreciation, which obviously to the people who stay in their own bubble will give them the impression those fans don't talk about Engage anymore when in reality they still do, just elsewhere.

Another argument I saw was that people return to play other FE games... which is the point ? Engage was suppose to encourage player to give a look to previous game or replay previous game... if anything you are proving Engage worked !! But let's not kid ourselves, 3H is much longer to complete then Engage and when I finished it, I never picked it up again and replayed Awakening instead. Like of course once you finished a game, you might not replay it right away let alone replay it at all. And it's not like everyone stop playing Engage.

BigKlingy replayed it recently and made comments on how it feels different to replay the game while already knowing the story, that's how you feel that there were some though put into the writing.

Anyway I would'nt think too much about that weird discourse because I don't even understand what they are trying to infer. I remember that in January -March there was so much Engage content I though no one was talking again about 3H and even saw some 3H fans complain about that ! It's really just a question of perspective at this point.

hi, a lot of you need a perspective reset

the average human lifespan globally is 70+ years

taking the threshold of adulthood as 18, you are likely to spend at least 52 years as a fully grown adult

at the age of 30 you have lived less than one quarter of your adult life (12/52 years)

'middle age' is typically considered to be between 45-65

it is extremely common to switch careers, start new relationships, emigrate, go to college for the first or second time, or make other life-changing decisions in middle age

it's wild that I even have to spell it out, but older adults (60+) still have social lives and hobbies and interests.

you can still date when you get old. you can still fuck. you can still learn new skills, be fashionable, be competitive. you can still gossip, you can still travel, you can still read. you can still transition. you can still come out.

young doesn't mean peaked. you're inexperienced in your 20s! you're still learning and practicing! you're developing social skills and muscle memory that will last decades!

there are a million things to do in the world, and they don't vanish overnight because an imaginary number gets too big

i don’t know about you guys but the main reason i am still on tumblr in 2024 is BECAUSE it is the most cloutless least influential social media app out there and that is the experience i am after. absolutely none of this will ever translate into significant attention or real success in my life and that is so beautiful.

Said it a year ago and I’ll say it again.

Pirate all your favorite shows, movies and games while you still have the chance.

Oh, and never stop supporting physical media.

To reduce my screen time, I have weaponised my overactive and entirely impractical levels of empathy for inanimate objects. Wym you’re picking it up again? While it was sleeping? You complete and utter monster, let it rest!!

And it works. It works like a CHARM. Silly problems require silly solutions!
