DAY 1 DLC & GACHA: Fire Emblem Engage News!
#FireEmblemEngage #fireemblem #FE17
You know Mangs is in a good mood when he actively trolls the Lyn fanboys throughout the video.
But lyn is a good character! As long as you feed her all the stat boosters and feed her all the kills and pray to rnGesus for good level... Wait that's any character in fire emblem. Lol
I wont deny shes subpar, but the same jokes again and again is a bit... beneath him. Unless thats your kind of humor I guess.
@@Heinrich_Hein based Ceasar pfp
I legit need to play that game again. It’s been a long time, but I’ve beaten it twice and both times my Lyn was a monster and my Eliwood ended up being the one I had to feed stat boosters to.
Now I just think I was blessed by RNGesus with her 😂😂😂 I don’t even care about her character that much, I just thought she was a good unit
I honestly think he just likes trolling the fanboys but at this point its feeling a bit stale. Especially since the Lyn fanboys are about half as crazy and numerous as most fanboys for three houses characters.
Lyn needs clones of herself! Think about it, doing 1 damage once = 1 damage, doing one damage 5 times equals 5! 🧠
Actually since we're talking about Lyn, 0 damage once = 0 damage. So 0 damage times 5 equals 0
If those attacks were any weaker she could raise the fucking dead with her attacks
@@kemix1006 LOL
@UberCow Lyn is pretty good though.
Why must you hurt me this way?
Lucina's skill obviously references awakening's pair up and dual strike mechanics
It reminds me of a certain attack from the Pokemon Series: Beat Up.
The silver card discount is 30% in everything that uses money and the stat boosters is basically one for every stat. They describe in more detail in the eshop description in the switch
That's still very strong, but not as broken as 50% I suppose.
30% Is pretty much around 33% extra gold, so It's Strong but nerfed. I don't think the Silver card will break the game but it Will probably allow for a much easier experience. At the very least it comfirms that This game has probably finite Gold but it may be as Finite as three houses, which Had finite gold but fishing can make it nearly Unlimited.
Back in my day Silver Cards were obtainable in game. Imagine paying real money to save fake money. This is why I despise DLC.
@@jlorence82 that would work if we weren't getting other things as well like the three house leaders and tiki and three more waves after this
@@ChillstoneBlakeBlast Not sure about the maths on that lol? If you're only paying 70% as much for everything you can buy 1/0.7 or 42% more than you could otherwise.
Pretty sure the Lyn clones are the developers attempt at refrencing Lyns animations while turning them into an actual gameplay mechanic, I doubt they actually forgot the original intent of the animation they are just doing something else with the concept. I assume they just had a hard time thinking of mechanics for Lyn to use.
i like to think its a joke on how legends get exagerated overtime, like saying Sigurd can move 15 tiles, or Corrin could release a torrent of water that destroyed everything on her path, or how Celica could teleport and nuke an entire squadron.
@@mauricesteel4995 imagine if Marth can one-shot dragons all the time.
Remember the day 1 dlc from 2010? And how everyone just loved...
to hate?
- Lyn's engage skill gives covert units +10 range not 10 hits
- engage skills are once per transformation like most people predicted so no 3 turns of Byleth spamming goddess dance
- The "teatime" section was the mess hall and it works like previous games giving temp stat boosts to the army
- the "skirmish maps" are more akin to challenge maps where you do a few small maps in a row to get rewards
- map builder that you can share online with others is shown, you can fight on other peoples map similar to My Castle invasions from fates/Aether Raids in FEH
- exercise gives a minor temp stat boosts (Alear gets +3 dex for getting a perfect)
- World map is back and monsters can roam around on it
- tonics are back
- the dog thing and wyvern minigame give bond fragments which are used for the ring gacha
This is mainly speculation on my part but the ring gacha looks more like your making "filler" rings to give to people who don't have one of the main 12 rings instead of enhancing your emblem rings, you combine the duplicates filler rings and spend bond fragments to upgrade their rarity
Also wish NoA would actually release the English version of these trailers along with the JP trailers so it's less of a headache trying to get info on these mechanics
If tiles refil your engage meter, they probably reload skill too
Well, the fishing and dinner things are obviously to please japanese gamers since dating sims are just really popular over there, and I think it's pretty obvious that the work-out minigame is either for fanservice, depending on, you know, the character or outfit, while using the excuse of saying things like "Oh yeah realistically you need to work out to become stronger IRL"
As for the gacha mechanic, it's pretty obvious that it looks like just an emulation of gacha games, of course it will just use a free ingame currency, considering the fact that it appears like early in the game you get bad, low ranked characters as shown in the trailer, while keeping the higher quality/higher rates gachas for later, as shown with the different glowing pedestals/altars being the ones that you unlocked in the gacha room, while most are still sealed (in the trailer atleast).
If Fire Emblem must have a dating sim element, I really wish they'd copy more of Sakura Wars homework.
Not just that, but in USA farm and life sims are popular
The work out thing also increase your stats it's has an other use then fan service
@@ultmewtwo litterally what I said, using an excuse such as stat boosting for fan service
*50 avoid plus*
*Still gets hit*
Alear: DIES
We also know the 3 Houses Leaders and Tiki's effects. The 3 Houses leaders give you a 120% boost to experience similar to the Paragon skill, and though it is only cosmetic you can choose who is in the lead. Tiki gives her wielder a boost to their growths, similar to the Aptitude skill.
So basically the grinding dlc
@@ShyRanger there's typically one dlc for grinding so I doubt that. We got the silver card for gold included and basically paragon and aptitude
Do the three house leaders have any way to separate themselves? Or like will it also be the three of them fusing with the character for a special attack?
@@PichuFan-lt5wj the character will use all 3 lord relic weapon in the special attack
@@hatorihorrus So it’s just their weapons shown in the attack and not the characters then?
I think the clip shown in 12:23 is not just a place to do skirmishes, but a stage builder. I think it says in the trailer that it is.
A stage builder? Like Advance Wars? That'd be sick.
Ok that could be pretty good
A stage builder does sound tempting
Up this, I'd like to hear what Mangs has to say about what we see when they announce the map builder!
@@OmegaMetroid93 Probably more like Fates mycastle
Remember not to sell the Silver Card, Mangs
Lmao but it's dlc so it's probably going to be locked in inventory but if not.. mangs would definitely sell it
The Silver card might be just a permanent 30% discount to avoid Mangs from selling it.
As a Lyn fan, I feel personally attacked lol
As a Lyn fan, one must acknowledge the shortcomings of one's waifu.
Same here
@@Dogedoge337 what sort comings.
If you do not start at Hector or eliwood story Lyn becomes much stronger since she keep her stat growths she gets in her own story
11:20
AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
A certain someone that Did not like FEH and said will only make one video about FEh talking about gambling is probably internally seething LMAO
@@ChillstoneBlakeBlast he is still gonna play it tho, because he has no principles.
TRUEEE
TFW you can't LTC a gacha game 😭😭😭😭
4:49 It really baffles me how heavy the Sol Katti is in FE7. Just... why?
Because a trained Lyn can reliably double the dragon, so she ends up dealing a lot more damage to it.
Increasing the weight of Sol Katti means she needs 28-30 speed to double the dragon.
@@Hone_mor2525 I understand the reasoning but she loses 8-9 effective speed when she uses it, it's ridiculous. She gets doubled by the morph bosses in the previous map if she equips it.
"Heavier than a silver axe, but weaker than a silver sword" a dutch snake
If you play Lyn story vs starting with the other lords story you get a good Lyn with good base speed stats witch means good avoid and crit rate when she comes back in Hector or Elwood story she keeps all the stat she gets doing her own story witch mean you get a Lyn with very good speed stat once she promote they had do do something other wise Lyn will be to OP and double a 🐉 and do good damaged since it has extra damaged vs 🐉 vs normal people the weapon base MT is good so if she can double easy she be to op
Considering the cards look very inconsequential (I mean, stat boosts for a game that already looks incredibly broken?) I'm pretty sure the gacha uses in game currency, but it further adds to my theory that this game is especially made to attract Heroes players
I can't wait until they implement an arena mode that determines our score based on ring enhancements that we can only get by using the gacha mechanics.
It will be peak Heroes experience.
you can see when you feed the dog, you get 100 of the currency used to pull.
So wait, it's like xenoblade 2...
This might prevent certain rings from getting shitty in the lategame tho
@@gsp6517 heroes arena. please no
The only things that scared my about this game is the player being so ridiculously broken that all the gameplay mechanics dont really matter, and you just "engage go brrrr" all the threats, then mop up, but cant know how its gonna be until it comes out i suppose
Yeah I'm not sure how well the emblems with be balanced, many of them seem broken but after my initial playthrough I may just see about not using them at all if its too easy
The game will probably "balance" them by just giving the enemies ridiculously high stats
Yeah like I would love to use the mechanics as intended but if it’s too easy I’ll look for ways to challenge myself, and I hope it isn’t just inflated stats and actually something that takes strategy
@@PeruvianPotato "cough cough" maddening 3 houses lol
I honestly don't like how many games have been doing the "day 1 DLC" trend, it just seems pretty sketchy when most of stuff in these DLC could just be part of the base game to begin with.
It's incredibly scummy and a total cash grab.
Welcome to modern gaming lol, lock in-game items behind a paywall that was always free and included in the base game in past titles like the silver card.
I'm not TOO worried about the Gatcha mechanic. It reminds me of the random My Castle stuff in Fates. It was cool that time I just was given so many Steel Lances I just made a +2 Steel Lance for Sophie to swing around. I like that you can shake up a run a little bit with random nice things. So if the ring power up system is like that, that's fine by me.
Also, I feel like this game is going to be the least Fire Emblem game in the series... with all the powers, extra range, etc... this feels more like Final Fantasy Tactics Advance than Fire Emblem. Which isn't a bad thing in and of itself, but for veterans who want to return to a world where range caps out at 3, and being able to kill more than one enemy per PP per unit is not allowed... will not be happy about this. For me, who only really got into the series with Three Houses, this is fine. And even if I decide I want more classic Fire Emblem gaming, well, I've only really played Birthright and Conquest Hard, so that's a LOT of games in the series I've never touched, or only played on easy mode 20 years ago. So I'll be fine.
I do hope that Geneology is being remade, though. Because fans of the classic style deserve that, not something that caters to FFTA fans.
As far as the DLC goes... while I'm not a huge fan of the pricing scheme, I don't regret picking up the 3H DLC. The Ashen Wolves and the Abyss classes were a great addition to the roster in a customization heavy game. And, more importantly, they didn't break the game. Balthus is very strong early game, but falls off, basically being a replacement Jeigan. And Valkyrie is a huge additional option for many Mages, but Mages were already in a rough spot in 3H, so the classes and characters don't dominate playthroughs with access to them. If the fourth wave gives something like that, them I'm okay with it. I've played Three Houses enough that I don't mind the extra $30 at all.
Overall, my cautious optimism has moved into confused hopefulness. The power of the Emblems is so insane by Fire Emblem standards that this may not play like Fire Emblem any more, and I have no idea what to expect. So it could be good, but it's getting hard to predict, because the game has gone completely off the rails, even by Fire Emblems standard of changing everything every game or two.
This game has fishing,
💫Game of the year 💫
I don't think I like when FE character designs have really modern elements, like Yukana's star stickers. It's like they ran out of ideas of how to design unique characters while keeping the high fantasy medieval style.
I think I got it. The Lyn cloning thing is a reference to that one Sacae map in FE6 where you fight multiples of the same boss.
Heh the outfits make the characters look better than their original and Alear with a ponytail is so cute
*turns a hit into a miss*
I sure do love turning my kills into non-kills!
Egg moment
Depending on how strong nosferatu is in Engage, I can only imagine how disgusting a tanky mage with Ike's engage + nosferatu could be
I have a feeling Engage is gonna be an entry that’s HUGE amongst newer Fire Emblem players, but lukewarm with old school fans.
I love how EVERY unit changes when fused with different emblems. Im very happy they didnt just give this ability to the main cast!
7:02 False. FE4 (Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy war) AI does not have the enemy wielder to swap to the best weapon for their situation. It Did allow the enemy to Counterattack with a different weapon if their base weapon did not have the proper Range for it (For example, if a Boss has a Silver axe equipped but you attack at range and they have a Hand Axe, The boss will use the Hand axe but still have the Silver axe equipped, HOWEVER, if the boss attacks with a Hand axe on their turn, They will only counter with the Hand axe as their weapon of choice in the player's turn since it counts as their equipped weapon. I mention this specific example because The Prologue's main boss has this exact arsenal).
It's still a neat reference, but not as simple as "They always have WTA".
Honestly, I imagine lyn’s clone thing is still extreme speed but just taken to another level.
A mechanic where someone is so frickin fast that they can literally fight entire armors at once sounds over the top anime
Gacha games be like:
"Do you have a gambling addiction?"
"No."
"Do you want one?"
Oh boy, man-made microtransactions to our comprehension
Fire Emblem DLC is so bad. And announcing it before the game is even out just rubs me the wrong way. I'm not even against DLC inherently, it's just that it's not substantial enough. Doesn't feel worth the money.
I'm not too worried about the "gacha" so long as it's not paid pulls. Randomized rolls are kind of expected in rpgs, just don't make us pay money to roll the dice. Or in this case, draw the cards. As long as they don't do something scummy like that, they're golden.
People need to stop throwing a panic attack every time they see a little rng in an rpg anymore, remember the roots of these games, and remember every single rpg has some form of random "diceroll" somewhere. Whether it's hit chance, crit rates, level up stat increases, randomized loot in many games, that's all "gacha" too.
People think they won’t balance this game completely broken
But I definitely think on hard difficulty you’ll need to use the engage rings carefully and will be weak as hell without it
That what I was thinking could happen where the harder difficulties are a lot harder than in previous games making players think harder about strategy. It’s still a 50/50 percent chance at this point.🤷♂️
I think that It will feel like Maddening but with the Emblems being able to make the game more fair
Considering the piss poor balance of the last, 5 games in the series. We are probably gonna get a cakewalk easy and normal mode, a hard mode which should be normal, and a maddening or lunatic mode which adds bullshit that just makes the game a pain in the ass. Not to mention a bunch of casual friendly mechanics like turn-wheel, casual mode, and/pay to win characters/abilities (thanks gatcha for polluting the gaming industry).
This is gonna be good it's so much news, and I'm excited!
Starting at 12: 28 YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN MAPS and UPLOAD THEM ONLINE!!! I translated this and I can confirm this! I share more by request, but just know that's happening. And, you get to make defense maps and think of this like aether raid or one of those game modes from FEH. To add, you can only make one map from nintendo account. While this is a bummer, at least it makes you want keep improving and making better maps. You can also view replays of the map when someone has played on it and you can view the result or just see the battle replay. This is so cool! You have a battle ID (as seen on the top right corner on 12:30 and this includes your ranking too, which is above it)
OK that's good.
I just wonder if its going to be like the my castle invasion/defense or full on advance wars map making. Either is great as I really enjoyed making a good defense in the my castle in fates but damn it would be cool if they go just full advance wars with it.
That's great thanks man do you know if we can wear the costumes in battle ?
I'll compliment Engage for one thing: The secondary engage weapons are, in many cases, nice nods to gameplay rather than just plot. Stuff like Roy's wyrmslayer (very critical with how the game spams Wyvern ememies) and Ike's Hammer (as mentioned, trivializing the Black Knight fight) is neat.
When the developers based lyn off Fire Emblem Heroes vs the actual game she debut from LOL
The DLC is a really weird one, like eh the extra characters I get on some level. But the Silver Card of all things? Weeeeeeird
Pay to win
@@Posby95 not pay to win you can get everything just fine without it
Remember when we had to actually play the game to get the Silver Card? Me neither!
Love how you still talk shit about Lyn, but know how she carried your ass in your HHM run :D
Silver card as DLC could actually be a benefit to Egg here.
Now you can justify not buying it because you know at some point you will sell it in the shop for in-game gold and content.
8:54 Wait, Griffon riders are back? Neat, I hope they do something interesting with them this time.
Gacha system is just a reskin of planting in three houses
The minigame stuff cements my thought that IS is aping Persona in order to achieve a wider audience. Where it's less about running an *army* so much as living the life of a badass with a badass crew of friends. That's what the daily activities mechanics in Three Houses (especially tea time and fishing) were focused on, and it's what all of this working out and shooting minigame stuff is about too.
100% agree with you Mangs. Refreshing to see a content creator that isn't afraid to call certain features or DLC schemes bad. Even if nothing changes, cause honestly it probably never will, it just feels good to feel like I'm not going crazy and that there are folks out there that agree this shit is getting crazy lol.
Ah well. Still, all said, excited for the game. Wont get the DLC until the story and class update if they seem worth it. Lot I don't like about Engage but can still see gameplay wise it should still be fun to play. We'll just hold our noses a bit at the shittier design choices haha
Is it too much to ask for a new FE game with a darker serious tone like fe8, FE is getting too big for its own good
Yes, I'm quite sure people get along with Yunaka due to her openly-displayed pair of... friendship skills 😂
Intelligent Systems really thinks Lyn was the main lord for fe7, don't they? They shoehorn her in any opportunity they get. Unless I missed something, I haven't seen any mention of Eliwood or Hector. Lol
the power of waifus eclipses that of husbandos(sadly)
She's the most popular but you can bet they are going to add Hector in the dlc
Also she's a female "for diversity" when basically every game the main hero is a male lord you hype up the girls in the games that have them to provide balance. Doesn't hurt that it also activates waifu power too
Japanese gamers are the greatest incels, so I suppose they're doing it for them.
I personally dont like DLC being announced before the actual game is released.
Kinda makes me think like this: "we need more money. Cut the game in pieces and sell them as DLC!"
Wait, but Ike was always faster than more defensive... _Smash_ really warped the perception of him, huh?
Dragon veins were at there more interesting when the enemies used them against you in Conquest.
Somehow missed the map maker.
Silver card = -30% of purchasable items.
This was a Good video, very informative.
I find it odd that they didn't use hero's art and just use the classic art
We never know, they could blind side us but either way I’m alright with it.
@@ZaxFSO8083 true but they didn't do it with Smash Bros either
As far as I’m aware, games should be more expensive in general nowadays, but they never kept up with inflation. To cover production costs and make a good enough profit to continue development for the next games, I heard that today’s games should really be costing around $80-$90. With that in mind, I don’t mind DLC as long as it’s only a single-time purchase. If there are multiple different packs of DLC, that’s a little frustrating. When it’s just a one-time thing, it just feels like I’m paying how much I should be if it’s around 80-90 dollars altogether, but it’s actually nice that I have the option to get a cheaper version of the game if I can’t afford it.
Also, DLC that comes out as a result of continued development doesn’t bother me at all, like Splatoon’s midway DLC. I wouldn’t mind if they continued to make more content later and sold it after completing it.
The only DLC that I dislike is DLC that feels like it should have been in the base game that also goes above the 80-90 dollar threshold.
the one part about how lyn was good on an eliwood normal playthrough hit me hard man. I always said that she was my best unit when i played through that game, but I was like... 8 years old, so i don't blame myself for the Bias.
but fuck you mangs stop calling me out!
I must say that the Somniel reveal really upped my expectations of the game. The only thing I am a bit sad about is the part where you have to find those "glimmery" things again and give them to people. On hard modes it kind of forces you to walk around the entire base every single time to see if you missed something :(
4:19 More like mental state of one egg, who managed to fuck up his Iron man so bad, Lyn was the one who saved it.
Shhh
So this turned from a tactical turn base rpg to Animal Crossing... IS THIS SOME KIND TWISTED JOKE!?
Just don't play the minigames
I honestly am so excited for this game and yet it’s so sad that this comes out the day AFTER my birthday
You can still get it as a late birthday present. Or they can send you money.
You can also pre order it and play midnight
Sometimes Amazon pre orders for example arrive earlier than the game's launch too
@@bcoz7264 yeah I know I could, just the timing was annoying
I think Sigurd's reaction to someone cleaning the ring is funny.
And I was thinking, what if you get those wierd points after like, taking care of the ring? Like "Yay yo made Sigurd happy" +200 points ?
These points are under ring' stats and skills. I assume SP is EXP of a ring. The more you use ring and kill stuff with it, the more SP you can get.
My Lyn did really well on my first playthrough when I gave her an undue amount of kills and got lucky with her stats
She's a good character Mangs, you don't know shit man
All the waifu stuff, and the fanservice, and the gacha all make sense. Heroes has made over a Billion in revenue, it is by far the most profitable thing Fire Emblem has ever done. We got to this place because people voted with their wallets, so Engage will probably sell well. Maybe it'll be a great game or maybe not, but it's a very commercially safe bet.
Waifus? Lmao Engage has trash waifus. It's just over designed vtuber slock and not actually well designed waifus like Three Houses or Persona. Some vtubers gave good designs don't get me wrong, but that "asthetic" does not fit Fire Emblem AT ALL. Give us a mature artstyle like something like Vagrant Story and it will be perfect. Three Houses copied Persona when it came to character design and color palate which was fine, but a more gritty paint-like artstyle (like Vagrant Story or Bravely Default) would have fit the dark story a lot better than Persona graphics. I know for a fact Engage will be the most divisive game in the series even more than fates and will ignite the FE fandom wars all over again just after Three Houses united everyone in the fanbase again due to being so good.
Because of Byleths ability there will probably be no Milas Divine Turnwheel/Divine Puls. I liked that feature even though the implementation was not ideal. In my opinion the best implementation I can think of:
When you start a new game you also have the option to activate or deactivate Milas Turnwheel lile you can change the difficulty or casual mode. So if you dont want it at all you can just turn if off.
The times you can use it are way less then in 3h or echoes. On the lowest difficulty you have 3 uses at the start. On the middle difficulty you have 2 uses and on hard you have 1 use. And in your playthrough you can obtain up to 3 more. On the highest difficulty you get 1 or 2 uses so you have 3 uses max in the lategame. In medium you get 2 or 3 uses more and on low you get 3 uses more. That way you really only use it if you messed up and not for every little inconvinience like you can use it in 3h or echoes.
I think it's funny that Ike (the guy with the earth affinity which gives strictly avoid) has 0 avoid always, which might be a reference to the tellius sleep mechanics and how it gives the opponent 100 hit aginst the sleeping target.
I just hope fire emblem fates gets some good DLC in that pass. Looking forward to engage all the same! 🔥 💍
They describee Yunaka as friendly and sociable, but her voice tone in combat tells me otherwise, she might be twofaced like Charlotte.
Lyn after after-images acting like weak clones feels like an appropriate use of the idea for as anime a game as modern fire emblem. They take hits like pokemon's double team, but they still work as extra attacks; she's just that fast. That tracks, at least in my mind.
I'm fine with the whole summoning thing as long as they don't place any of the rings you can Engage with in that summoning pool. Also, the map-building thing at 12:20 kinda looks like the Aether Raid builder from Heroes.
The summon is just extra rings just in case all of your 12 lord rings are being use by some one and u really want to use that person in a fight
I think the clone move is a bit of both like Pikatchu’s Double Team or something. When you move so fast you make temporary clones. That would be a interesting idea however i am not familiar to Fire Emblem except Three houses.
the wavern flying minigame actually looks kinda neat
DLC day 1 always struck me as we completed the game and then took away from it to charge you more for the same content you used to get for free. At least looks like they are going to be putting alot of stuff into it so won't be as bad as some even if i hate the concept of it, The horde of new activities to me seems like them trying to combine with the more mobile friendly elements to try to appeal to more but at what cost. Seems like they are going to alienate some of the diehards of the series with all the nonsense, especially if they make some of those activities required to max out your characters.
Honestly, I'm ok if either there is a pity system so by endgame you are guaranteed to have at least 1 copy of each ring, or if the rings stick with a simple low stat boost/simple and weak "good to have" skills.
Also, There are clips of the dancer and the Ivy retainers already
Joke's on you. My Lyn had capped Str and S Rank Bows on Hard. It was not worth it, but she killed a dragon with Rienfleche! XD
I don't mind DLC when it comes out months after the release of the main game, but to already have some before the game is even out yet seems like a scummy way to milk money from your fans. If it's already done just include it with the main game.
Luckily the My Castle seems to be pretty unnecessary for standard play in this game. The minigames seem to only provide the currency for gacha and working out only provides a tonic like buff, neither being necessary activities. There also appears to be an awakening style world map with enemies so you can skip the arena and extra battles too if you want to grind without the my castle.
I hope that whatever story DLC they add is on par with what Xenoblade Chronicles 2 got with Torna and is an entirely new game onto itself. While I enjoyed the Ashen Wolves and the extra tidbits of plot they added with Cindered Shadows it felt stunted by only being four chapters long with nothing to really tie it back into the main game.
Cindered Shadows was garbage literally the only good things we got from it were the new music and lore about Byleth's mom. Those events didn't even matter since that entire story is non-canon. However, the Ashen Wolves in the main game + the new activities and mechanics in Abyss we're a 10/10 and easily worth the $20 alone.
Edit: Also Cindered Shadows was actually 6 chapters, not 4 with 8 maps. (some chapters had multiple maps) However, there WERE only 4 break periods between maps since a lot of the later chapters are back-to-back in CS.
"it turns a hit into a miss"? am i high
I might wait until the end of next year then, given all the content coming out in throughout 2023. Nonetheless, am still looking forward to Engage!!
If this has gacha for real money i am curious how Belgium and the Netherlands will handle this game as they banned all lootboxes for real money and such no nintendo/squenix mobile games
Okay, didn't know about the Japanese side of things. All I knew was the DLC. Lol
So, in terms of the Gacha Mechanic, just don't let there be Microtransactions like in Heroes. If that is what Renown does, great. However it further upsets me that these characters are just rings and not playable individually. I was really hoping for a Bonus Box 2 from Awakening. At least it seems that the Lords seem story locked and can't be summoned.
Seeing the confirmation that Ephraim is not DLC is fantastic and we are able to interchange them is fine, just like with the Three Houses leaders.
The minigames in the My Castle look like dumb fun, which as long as it doesn't control poorly, it's all good. Plus actually flying on a Wyvern does sound fun.
Overall, I'm still positive on the game. It looks like there's a lot to do and hopefully has a lot of ways to replay the game. It sucks that there's a Gacha Mechanic and the rings aren't individually playable, but the game does look fun.
Edit: In the summoning room there appears to be 11 pedestals, but if you look at how they're balanced, there is 1 off screen. Just like the 12 rings. Here's a theory. What if you can summon certain characters from the game of your choosing? That would be better than having all extra characters pooled together.
Even further is that some appear to be glowing, I don't have a good idea why they are but we'll probably find out soon.
That gacha thing is only so you can give extra rings to people if all of your 12 rings are in use by someone else
It probably doesn't have any relevance beyond keeping with the game's story that there are just 12 rings, but the DLC characters will be summoned via bracelets instead.
I legit havent seen a single article or any of the trailers for this game
Im hyped but I didnt even know it was coming so soon
The Day 1 DLC is not a Day 1 buy for me. I at least want to see what the vanilla experience is like before I break the difficulty.
Dammit really a gatcha mechanic in a console main game? This reminds me of the blade summoning from xenoblade 2. People dislike it so much that they removed it in Xenoblade 3 and nobody complained.
Can't wait to do press ups with Alear while waiting for my bank to approve buying more emblem gems for the gacha. At least the actual gameplay looks very promising
You do know that the so called gacha that your complaining about is just stat boost and nothing that uses real money 🤨
@@Ntwinzz I mean I'm mostly joking, I hope you're right
@@Speedwinghere I mean xenoblade 2 had an in game gacha that was annoying but didn’t actually cost real money, I get gacha is a plague on the industry but not in a main title
The "training two units in a duel" system reminds me of... uh... Queens Blade Spiral Chaos haha. A surprisingly creative SRPG, horniness aside.
Lol, now that’s a throwback.👍
Alway try to break all the armor part
It’s really sad that the FE series has become another game that MUST have DLC that exploits nostalgia. Wish we could get the Three Houses Lords by doing a quest or something meaningful during the main game.
Start asking for more money before the game is even out and having waves of new stuff, feels sad from such a great series.
But you know what they say “Mo Emblems, Mo Money”
You know, on the subject of FE games featuring past characters... Can we finally stop with the Avatar crap? They all have canon names, they're always REFERRED to as those names when they reappear in later games, they have canon _appearances,_ you couldn't even adjust Byleth's appearance at all, and from the sound of things, you don't even get to _name_ Alear. So can we PLEASE stop?
I could see Lyns "clones" in Engage still being after images technically. It would just be a very anime thing to do to make a character move so fast that the after images are, for all intents and purpposes, clones that can do different things.
This game is making fire emblem awakening look like classic fire emblem and that is saying something.
I love how he keeps digging at Lyn fans lmfao
I really fucking hate that they've slapped the bow on Lyn... SHE'S A FUCKING "BLADE" LORD FOR GOD'S SAKE. BLAAAAAADE LOOOOOOORD. I was already sick of seeing all her alts being nothing but bow units in FEH, now they're doing it to her in a mainline game?
Roy: Plus Ultra!!!
Ike: Come at me you little b17ch.
Lucina's skills are probably based off the Pair Up feature of her game.
Emblem Abilities remind me a lot of Overloads from Disgaea 5, Overloads were special abilities that are activated when the character revenge gauge fills (fills similar to CO powers in AW), when the Overload is used, the character activate its effects, like, Turning Giant, Gaining 3 turns, Convert all units within a radius to your side for 1 turn, Unleashing a Global Range attack to all enemies. said game also had a lot of characters from previous games, some which also had Overload skills (to have an Overload, a character had to be a Overlord, or Powerful enough to be one).
Of all those Overloads, that included the skill Lyn has in this game, the Overload of Zeroken, Subliminal Wolf. and did the same thing, made 4 clones of Zeroken (but they were green units.)
i like these kind of table turning powers, but i hope the game throws the same kind of bullshit against you, Disgaea 5 also had enemies with Overload abilities.
Thank you, I was trying to think of what the emblem abilities reminded me of and it was the overload skills from Disgaea. I had gotten deja vu since the beginning.
um actually when I played hector mode and lyn was 20/20 she was good
Hahaha. I called Fogato! well, didn't realize he was gonna be a horse archer, but called he was an archer of some kind.
Three Houses is to Intelligent Systems as Persona 5 is to ATLUS it seems 🥛
"Erika/Ephraim's ring allows you to form S-supports with the siblings of whomever has it equipped."
...
So anyway, can we all agree that Vestaria Saga is the new FE now?
Good, kthx.
Yep, the possibility of buying in-game currency using real world money. Now hopefully we can grind said in-game currency through gameplay or this is true taint.
