I am so torn on Fire Emblem Engage
some aspects of it look really cool but it just doesn’t feel like the Fire Emblem series I fell in love with
#don't mind me having a moment#something something changing gamer philosophies?#awakening onwards just haven’t felt right to me#aside from Fates Conquest and even that had some issues (beyond the obvious I mean)#maps have very little variety and events#resource management is a non issue now#and while it is nice that all characters are usable#it also feels a little bland#but also I’ve been heavily spoiled by Vestaria Saga#which has great map design and challenge#and finds ways to make every character shine even if not in stats#I also just miss having the entire focus be on clearing maps#do we really need these expansive bases?#with a bajillion mini games and dating sim elements?#no please put your focus into interesting map design and using maps to tell stories#the sad thing is when I think about what I liked in 3 houses I have to say the monastery or the supports#because it sure as hell wasn’t the maps!#I want a genealogy and Thracia remake so bad but I’m also terrified of how it would turn out under the current IS#from story design and gameplay perspectives#Shadow Dragon was an example of a terrible remake#they then got it right with New Mystery#Gaiden did a lot of things well but a lot of things… not so well…….#one of which being the plot and characterization changes#on another note really wish Tellius could be made available on modern consoles#that was peak FE and is remembered fondly for a reason#even RD with all its terrible plot decisions had very fun maps
