Alandrage Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 The story was just painful to read, the characters were bland and tropey, the protagonist was a whining Mary Sue, and the gameplay just really felt unfun. I know it's just my opinion, but I at least know I won't be buying another Fire Emblem if things stay like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sentinel07 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 While opinions on story and characters vary, you are without a doubt the very first person I've seen around here (or anywhere else) criticize the gameplay. Even long time Fire Emblem fans admit that that Fates' overall gameplay ranks among the best in the franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Geek Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 If they do exist, I doubt you'll find people who share your opinion in the Fates subforum. What specifically about the gameplay made it feel less fun than other FE games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inference Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Uh, so are we going to wait for somebody to agree with this guy to help him feel better? I don't see anything else to talk about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alandrage Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 What specifically about the gameplay made it feel less fun than other FE games? I don't know. I just know that I wasn't enjoying it like I did the older games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thane Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 (edited) While opinions on story and characters vary, you are without a doubt the very first person I've seen around here (or anywhere else) criticize the gameplay. That's not true. While people praise Conquest's gameplay and rightly so, a lot of people, myself included, feel as if though Birthright was way too simple and Revelation's maps were for the most part pretty boring. Then there's the Revelation balance issues, Hidden Weapons being too good, etc, but those are more minor. I'm not trying to say it's bad by any means, but the criticism is there, and I think the game would've benefited greatly from having more Conquest-like maps, rather than trying to appeal to absolutely everyone. Keep in mind I'm not saying I want to exclude newcomers, just that there are better ways of introducing them to the game than to make an entire game as simple as possible. For instance, with both easy mode and phoenix mode, newcomers have more room for error than ever before in the franchise.

Ebony Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 You're probably not the only person. It's not a masterpiece. As I've said, the story isn't very good, a lot of the characters are meh, and Revelations was not worth shit. But for all the negativity and crap I give Fire Emblem Fates, can I say I dislike it? No. I still replay it a lot. And I probably will continue to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Validation. Are you going to delete this topic? Nope. I'm going to lock it, and leave it visible. This is the wrong way to look for validation, and I strongly suggest using your time to find things that you like, rather than seeking things you don't like. Or, find an appropriate DISCUSSION topic about this. Or, go make your own blog, then you get your own soapbox. Sorry everyone else, blame TC's motivations.
