    For sure agree with the fixed class point being something I am looking forward to. While I did enjoy the customization in 3H it was just a bit much for me by the end since the characters basically had no identity game play wise and the optimal way to play that game was the wyvern lord squad.

    The class customization wasn't just a skin swap. It was a character's strengths and weaknesses, plus added growths from the class, and mixing matching skills and abilities. One of the many things that gives newer fire emblem games replay-ability and a unique experience.

    • @LinkKing7
      @LinkKing7  Год назад +6

      I found that the growths from the characters themselves ultimately didn't do very much to contribute to the end result, but maybe that's just me. I do agree that having a level of customizability is nice, maybe a limited reclass system similar to Shadow Dragon's?

      I hear you. Don't get me wrong, I don't think the class system is perfect. There is room for improvement, and some limitations are welcome. But I see the potential, they introduce so many amazing mechanics and I would live to see them improve and perfect them.

      Just breaking it open to be able to do everything honestly took away from it for me. I've replayed Awakening and Fates with their far more limited options far more than Three Houses, a game I played 3 times for each house route and then never really went back to. The game rosters are often big enough to provide varied replays anyway, I'll happily take character identity over a totally open class system.

      People DO project onto Corrin and Robin, but it's not as if there's some magical difference in how they're handled. They're still fixed characters with their own personalities, for better or worse. The writing isn't just going to automatically get better if they take away people's capacity to pick a hair colour.

    I agree with the 3H criticisms bc when 3H came out I invested so much time playing all the routes (only having played FE7 just before 3H’s release) and haven’t touched 3H in particular in years lmao
    I will say as a newer fan at the time the class system felt SUPER overwhelming and I really liked the more limited class systems in FE7 because it really made the characters’ personalities distinct (and most of the other games; I’ve since played FE1-FE10).

    • @LinkKing7
      @LinkKing7  Год назад +1

      Yeah, I put 3H down after I finished my last route and haven't gone back since, so I feel you. It was a LOT of time sunk for a lot of repetition in gameplay and micro management.

    *Here is a better Main Character concept and story design than Engage:*
    Instead of being an amnesiac, you as the MC get summoned from another world (earth, to justify the self insert and not knowing anything.)
    Called upon by a summoning ritual that was prophesied to bring about a hero who can change the tide of a war that has lasted 2 generations without end.
    However, somehow the other faction hears about this, and their best warriors break into the citadel where the summoning happens and try to convince you to leave with them instead.
    Before you decide (You pick which faction) your heroic power reveals itself chaotically which causes the citadel to start crumbling. With the faction you were going to pick being the ones who find you first in the rubble and escape.
    This begins your story in the war, with you fighting for the side you chose, and the other side conflicted by the idea you have been brainwashed by lies. Which presents an option half way through to switch sides, or join a third covert faction in the war that revealed itself once both sides are weakened.
    You can't tell me that isn't a much better premise than have the other self insert FE protagonists and plot lines.
    - Player Freedom
    - Faction Choice
    - Nuanced Plot
    - Conflicted Characters
    All that needs to happen is to create the reason for the war before the player arrived, the themes of each faction, and the character designs.

      It's not just that it makes the characters more distinct, it's that it fits within their own personality, but makes playthroughs a bit more unique, for me at least.

    While Three Houses reclassing had its fun, I do think the gameplay would benefit most if each character had either branching classes or a class that is multipurpose to make them feel more unique. The skill system should be more unit based than class based though.
    One thing I wish they kept from three houses has to be monsters, because the giant monsters are so much fun as bulky units that you have to gang up on to defeat. Idk if I’ll like emblems more than gambits, though I do wish there were more AoE attacks in general even if they aren’t the same category as combat arts and spells (but maybe a type of link attack to make supporting more relevant).

    I’m very pumped for Engage. It looks like it’ll take those really nice quality of life improvements from 3H but just tone back to a slightly simpler model, like the Tellius games. 3H was just too much with all of those combat arts and a million different abilities and skills and things.

  • @samwoodley1653
    @samwoodley1653 Год назад

    I really dislike silent protagonists. I used to like them growing up, as self inserting is a valid game "mechanic" to help the player feel empowered and more involved, even if it's a little childish. But as time has gone on I think the typical self insert characters we get now are either awkward or just a waste of what could have been an actually well written character.
    Robin and Corrin were both self inserts because you could customize them and for the most part were blank slates. But they still said things on their own and had their own values and opinions. Most of the time it was about friendship and doing the right thing and usually being cool in every situation, but when you compare these interactions to Byleth, they look very well done.
    Byleth is self insert done awkwardly. They stand around in conversations just staring into space, and it doesn't help that when I do get to give input, the choice doesn't matter aside from the very next sentence. I get that there is some lore explaining why Byleth is stone faced but as a vessel for the player it's just a waste.
    This isn't unique to FE as other games do the exact same thing. Persona games (most recently P5) did the same thing but actually better because while Joker doesn't have much input, canonically is quiet and doesn't give much away, and 99% of your dialogue options don't matter, he still has a personality and some quirks. Byleth just stands around, staring blankly, and only emotes when making a critical hit.
    I really hope that Alear is an actual character in Engage. How they are presented is a really interesting situation and I'd love to once again see such an important character have meaningful interactions with the rest of the cast, and not just give 2-3 generic lines via pointless dialogue options in a conversation while the other person talks to what is essentially a brick wall. All while saying "Wow you're so easy to talk to senpai!"

    • @LinkKing7
      @LinkKing7  Год назад

      Yeah, if my main character is going to be some unbeatable godlike figure, I need them to have a personality. THey can be blank if they're going to mostly be a side character in the main story details, like Link in the Zelda games for example.

    A thought on the visuals -
    I really like how the environments look so far (mainly the battle maps, haven't really seen the "overworld"), even if it seems they could've been ripped straight out of Genshin Impact. They look extremely polished compared to 3H's environments.
    The character designs on the other hand? Ugh. Sorry but toothpaste-kun's design especially is a dealbreaker, and will probably stop me from ever playing this. I am quite tolerant of anime styles but I simply can't take any game seriously if it expects me to accept that people are capable of sprouting such absurd hair.
