Conclusion: changing the timeline will not affect JRPG release schedules.

Call me a dumbass or whatever but I genuinely do not see the issue. All it is is that apart from "love" not being explicitly mentioned, it isn't 1:1. And not being 1:1 is the least of my concerns.

Also, spoiler that.

Some lines feel ok, others feel like they wanted to heavily focus on something while downplaying the other thing for no reason at all. Like English version focuses much more on the jealousy thing, even when sometimes it isn't there in the jp version

It does still feel a bit romantic, even if less so, and the way they skirt around it is comedic more than anything tbh

Also, interestingly enough, they primarily use Female Protag in the English one, but the Male Protag in the Japanese one, but that could be random.

F-Zero comes back but it's social sim.

...F-Zero does have a large, underdeveloped zany cast. I am under no illusions that trying to flesh it more would make F-Zero seriously profitable, but it is an avenue it could take to expand it's mega-niche appeal to include a few casuals. -Just as one element of a package largely catering to the hardcore audience I would hope.

If only you could go up. I still don't know why they don't let you.

It would make a lick of sense if other players could see what the highest difficulty you've completed the game on is. Not allowing down-to-up would be an easy way of preventing someone from playing the game on a lower difficulty and then doing just the final battle on Classic Merciless Maddening Abyssal Lunatic+.

Although, an alternative solution would then be to make an a second version of the highest difficulty that is identical to the first, except locked-in no changing it ever.

apparently he knows it well that he died while leaving his child behind. he made the comment himself when "traditional FE tragedy" happen.

so at least for sigurd he basically is a ghost of already dead Sigurd.

Welcome back!😃

For me, I learned to stop "overfollowing" long ago. Super Smash Bros. Brawl actually, I followed the Smashdojo's(?) daily or weekly official updates, whatever they were, and visiting forums talking about them. I think I got kinda prematurely burned out of the game doing that, and it was an endeavor that I suppose I found tiring.

I don't truly remember how I felt, but I do know that I've since developed disinclination towards doing intense following of games prerelease. Incidental side glances are the most I usually get of major games of personal interest nowadays. Doing the -not true at all- ostrich behavior of sticking my head in the ground and avoiding all the headlines is too much effort, not clicking on any of those prerelease articles is easy enough though.

thanks.

it sure feels weird when i know i love FE series but somehow always seen 3H with discontent when trying to play it. because all the good things already known to me down to the plot and its twists, so the not-so-good stuff become more apparent instead

[GuardianSing]

Be more creative with your nicknames Dorothea, call him Bertie or something.

DO IT

Alright so here's a thought, and I thought about saving this for the end review but since it has little baring on how I actual feel about this game I might as well throw it in here.

In Fire Emblem, and in fantasy media in general, the class distinctions are incredibly simplified, it usually just presents Royals and Farmers with not much in between, the few in between being common soldiers and noble knights.

Fire Emblem Three Houses being the complicated game that it is expands on this a little by adding more nuance to the identities. Nobles are no longer just princes and princesses, they are nobles with their own purpose and place in the countries that they inhabit, Claude is not just the prince heir to the Leicester Kingdom, he's the grandson to the current Duke a part of the leading noble family in the Leicester Alliance. There's a lot more nuance and dynamics added to the noble class in Three Houses.

Realizing this I thought "Well it must go both ways, right?" And in a sense it sort of does, but something struck me as interesting. TH doesn't have many commoners but the few it does fit in very different situations from each other, Leonie is an impoverished subsistence peasant, Ignatz and Raphael are apart of two large merchant families, Dorothea is a performer.

Also Ashe and Mercedes exist but I don't know where they come from or what they do.

From the ones I've mentioned it feels a bit odd to throw them all under the term "commoner" giving how different standards of living are between the three. The merchants in particular make a living off of buying and selling the labor of other people so it feels odd to call them simple peasant commoners.

And that's another thing too, FE and the larger fantasy genre doesn't spend much of it's time looking at the working class of the time period. There aren't any urban city laborers in FE that come to mind and that got me thinking into a larger point about how we often look at certain settings and attribute certain things to them. Putting the idea of the broad fantasy genre into someone's head and they probably will think of things like nobles, knights, farmers, merchants, and so on.

This is the case and yet that is not because the medieval period lacked in more dynamic class distinctions. There were always carpenters, factory workers, engineers, and other local business people who gave certain services for a price.

Funnily enough, the closest we've ever gotten to this in FE is with the maids and butlers in Fates, though those characters were more about fulfilling a servant fantasy for players than looking into that line of work for the characters and how it affected them which...now that I type that makes me realize just how fucked up it is that they went for the former.

I understand why TH doesn't have as many commoners, with the context the game gave itself they pretty much have to have the cast be mostly nobles, but it makes me long for a game that gives much more nuance to the commoners and focuses on them for the narrative.

We'll likely never get to that point as FE has gone the way where it wants to tell stories about kingdom rivalries and royal heroes slaying dragons but I can always dream.

Anyways, what was I doing?

Petra against capitalism.

Sigh I really need to do a playthrough where I recruit these two against the Empire.

I might do something like that in a VW run in my off time.

As someone who frequents around many LGBTQ spaces, I can confirm that this is a very common sentiment.

What does charm even do on the battlefield?

The amount of time these idiots stand around and look at the chaos just so everyone can get a line in is killing me.

Imagine that, a group of able fighters observing the conflict instead of jumping into it.

Everytime something like this happens in an FE game I always just imagine

The tonal whiplash between the genuinely horrifying state of the village and the cartoonishly evil bad guy leading it is a big Three Houses moment.

So like, do you just carry an extra bag filled with the Flame Emperor costume wherever you go just in case?

Welcome back to another episode of "Why the hell are you going to give me the choice if you're just gonna choose for me anyway"

I feel like Hubert of all people would recognize Edelgard's voice.

You can't change what wasn't there in the first place.

The game feeling the need to tell me this is exactly the reason I don't believe it.

Sothis should've been the main character.

I will say tho, the RPG Sites review has me curious. They mention how you can battle save on Normal and Hard....but not Maddening. Radiant Dawn did this same thing but since New Mystery, battle saves whenever have been a Casual Mode thing only, yet the review doesn't mention that.

hard is hard. at least for me. and i play FE6 on hard. dunno if my skill get rusty or no. but it provide enough challenge as is for 1st playthru, IMO

you can also turn down the difficulty, but not turn it up. did not test on maddening yet, but you can lose a map, but retain its exp and levels you gain before retry... if this option also available in maddening (which i think it should imo, given how "hard" is enough to gang kill your units in early chapter) then it has potential abuse.

which makes you wonder why they dont try to remove Rewind feature. theres too many option for difficulty it should be fine without it

i can confirmed theres at least two version of the opening, but they play at random, regardless of voice dub you choose. If you boot the game and see male Alear first, then next time it play (from idling in Main menu or reset) it will show the one with Female Alear first. either way both videos feature both version
