So this game really fucking sucked right? What happened with that?

Wait for the performance update
My dream: S2 version not only improvements but also adding the removed contents such as Felix vs Dimitri fight

Heh I liked it a lot.
My main issue is people have set this game as the gold standard and now we wont hear the end of it whenever an FE isn't literally 3 Houses 3 (2 if you dont count Hopes).
I didn't mind the replays because NG+ and I made sure to not recruit many units outside the house (Like 1 rep from each house including the church and the wolves) so each run was fresh somewhat.
The recycled maps did suck.
Fates was so great with it routes so I hate whiny bitches angry at it while sucking up 3H botched 3 route system.

wake up Shez we have a world to save

It gave us years of schizos, simps and shitposters yelling at eachother
That alone makes it a good game

It's the best Fire Emblem.

Highest grossing besides FEH
Engayge is where the sales fucking tanked because it's complete shit

repeating the monastery sections blew but the rest of it was okay

Mentioning Edelgard in any thread was guaranteed seething replies in bulk.
The Emblem that brought us all together

indeed, FEH and 3H are the best games in the series as proven by their stellar sales! incidentally my favorite movies of all time are Avenger's Endgame, Avatar, Avatar: the way of water, and Titanic

Both 3H and Engage sucked. We need to go back to the gba era.

we're never getting sprites back anon. focus groups are too fucking retarded to allow it.

It was nothing but shitposting, mental illness and rage bait but sometimes... I miss it.

Fire Emblem doesn't have a giant fanbase like Marvel

Fire Emblem didn't have the ridiculous marketing that Avatar did

Fire Emblem isn't a global meme like Titanic

FEH being a gacha is fucking obvious as to why it's their highest grossing

Awakening revived the series because it WAS a great game, conquest/birthright didn't do as well because it was fucking weird shit and brought the momentum down.
Three Houses didn't have any prior setup to make a failed game and financial success, it sold well because it was a great game.
Now go back to your tranny game with toothpaste retard that killed the franchise for good.

It gave us best girl and caused such levels of waifuism that her fans made an epilogue for her route.

fans made an epilogue for her route.

u wot m8

bro really doubling down on the "sales=quality" argument

sendo.itch.io/emerald-dawn
I don't see Edelgard getting this treatment.

whomst is this brown mamkute

Could have just not replied to let me know you've got nothing

That looks like porn

To settle this matter now and forever

Edelgard

5k results

Rhea

1k results

Gelbooru never lies

Quality over quantity.

I fucking love my grandmadaughter so fucking much she deserves octuplet correction, repeatedly

She's a minor side character from Atelier Ayesha (which has the same lead artist as FE: Echoes)

Why should i bother, you're entire argument is built on the faulty premise that only good things sell well. there's no real point in trying to reason with you.
Calling you a retarded faggot is a far more productive use of my time than trying to educate you.

She simply isn't as well liked.
Deal with it
Fairly sure Edelgards route is also the most played as well

STOOOPID DWAGON

I completed one route and thought that it was OK, which in terms of Fire Emblem makes it one of the better ones.
I have no idea how anyone had the will the complete all 3 routes, the monastery and teaching parts were such a fucking slog, just let me play the fucking game instead of all the other bullshit.

I hate how the first half and a few more post-timeskip chapters of the game are the same repetitive slogfest with a few minor deviations in dialogue and at best two different paralogues.

They should've just provided a feature similar to Branch of Fate where if you reach the chapter where Edelgard reveals the truth in the holy tomb that it will save your progress and difficulty but allows you to choose between the different houses.

you're entire argument is built on the faulty premise that only good things sell well

Your entire argument is built on the faulty premise that good things don't sell well
I clearly stated why Three Houses wasn't like anything you mentioned and the state of the franchise at its release explaining why Three Houses wouldn't have sold well if it was a bad game.
You are the retard repeating the same thing over and over again.

You just use NG+ to buy all your progress back so you dont have to do any monastery shit unless you're using different units or changing it up you mong

Fire Emblem Three Houses

one major problem is that the maps suck. if the maps suck, in a video game (or table top RPG) like this, everything else suffers. the maps aren't the only problem. everything you interact with to play the game has problems:

the monastery takes too long to move around.

the loading times are too long because of underpowered hardware.

there are few things more tiresome than a game that actively wastes your time AND it's a poor game, or a flawed one, at the same time.

tactics are pigeon holed because of stat imbalance between the players units and the AI units, and the bad map design.

when there's an optimal way of play that the game ushers you into playing because of poor design, in a game in a subgenre like this, you have a big fucking problem. It completely kills any replay value at all except for the biggest fanboys or autists.

the game's story was a victim of feature creep. (and bad writing)

they had one story planned like many previous fire emblem games, then they went overboard and kept adding shit. Who fucking knows if the first story they planned to tell was any good?
Fates showed that the current IS, (even Awakening had a poor 3 act structure,) cannot handle telling multiple stories or designing maps in a single game, while maintaining high quality throughout the game.

Unfortunately, Intelligent Systems has been financially rewarded for their recent low quality video games. (Just like many undeserving game devs and other media producers in recent times.) Which in turn results in more low quality works of art because they know they don't have to try as hard as someone else facing real scrutiny might have to,

**Because the audience they've fostered has no or low standards.**

You still need to grind monastery shit for the different support conversations between the units.

unless you're using different units or changing it up you mong

Which if you're doing the three routes you definitely are?

you didn't explain anything, you just said "game that sells well is good, game that sells less well isn't good". Hell you weren't even right about the information you spread, considering Fates outsold awakening.

Personally I like Rhea more and that's the only thing that matters

bla bla bla bla
What's your deal mate? Indian? You sure argue like an indian.
Can't imagine anyone else being this fucking braindead and obnoxious.

I am just a mirror to your true self anon. I'm only responding to you with the same level of thought you put into your posts.

Based.

heavily pushed poster girl is more popular then a background character with a single support line and basically no screentime in part two outside of the one route where's conviently insane and evil

Hmm... I wonder why...

That's because contrarian posters are always a good engagement bait. Without them, most threads on Anon Babble die. It also works as filter to know who really played the game and who are larping.

No?
You recruit the units you like, in any route
At most you should have like 2 new units that need to catch up
If you go with a full team of freshlings you deserve to slave away for them, thats on you

Because she's clearly not as good.
Lysithea has twice as much as Rhea

based, fates is the best. I had 370 hours in it myself and it hurts we'll never get another game with gameplay as tight as conquest.

FUCK the ninja fort

three houses for switch 2 enhanced edition with special route where everyone is friends again and nothing bad happens

membef when people said fates was bad

Cutesythea

I just want a proper church route with Rhea as the lord instead of the absolute mess that is Silver Snow

the rape cave? I want to say I hate it, but looking back it was a fucking fun map.

when the fourth wave of reinforcements arrives

It's the only FE I've played. What makes it worse than other FEs?

Worst part is that I almost completed it multiple times only for a bullshit 1-2% crit to fucking land and it's back to the start
Absolute aids

Terrible map design for starters, that and the social sim elements with the monastery get old fast.

It's the only FE I HAVEN'T played, and apart from the allegedly awful gameplay, it looks like absolute ass and nothing like an FE game at all. Looking at screenshots of it gives me a serious 'wtf is this shit??' feeling.

Make the church route the only route where Jeralt survives the stabbing so that he becomes a divine beast at the final map for Byleth to slaughter. Making it a mandatory boss kill as well

Rhea being batshit insane and evil is the best part of Crimson Flower though. While i like her character and wish she got more to do in her own route, like actually being playable. Her going completely off the deep end in the way she does is what makes her interesting. Rhea works because she has a dark side.

Also her VA is really good at playing both kind pope Rhea and batshit insane vengeful dragon Rhea.

I want that + longer Crimson flower. Also Jeralt as a jagen.

the monastery is extremely tedious to go through in between maps. the actual gameplay of the series gets sidelined for 30 minutes - 2 hours on your first playthrough, every time you return to the monastery, if you actually try to engage with the game and it's setting.
it adds the skills you can choose to use at anytime from the remake of Gaiden. Why let your unit fight normally if you can spam a better skill?
bad maps.
a painfully obvious rushed story that, by the devs own admission, was split into four routes when they originally intended to tell only one story or one route. this was right after Fire Emblem Fates suffered from the exact same issue with it's story.

What Fire Emblem game is the worst?

Hard mode: Pick something from GBA onwards.

I FORGIVE HER

your favourite game

Engage or Three Houses.

ANOOOOOOON STOP THINKING WITH YOUR SILVER LANCE AND START THINKING WITH YOUR WIS

Would Lys even be popular if she didn't have crest cancer pity arc?

Absolutely

RD

anon she's a tsun loli. of course she's going to be popular.

I like both

The completely sane answer
There's liking both, like one or the other and then there's needing to shit on one every time you mention the other.
Last category is mental illness

Revelations.
If that doesn't count, then FE6/3H

They are the same person, ironically.

Lysithea is a brat with a attitude, the overpowered mage unit who can abuse Nosferatu tanking, is the dedicated meme killer of the Black Knight through Dark Spikes T grinding, has a personal skill that makes the class and proficiency farming easier in a grinding game with monastery chores, a must-have for NG maddening playthroughs, Thyrsus doubles her efficiency in Magic shenanigans.

Also like the other anon said, she's a tsundere in a Nintendo-exclusive title, which sells like hotcake.

Sucked so hard that Engayge flopped massively because everyone was disgusted by Edelgard resulting in Engayge killing off the franchise for good.

nice bait desu

it's SHIT

try actually playing it

Babymaking sex with dragon hags

Being near Alm gives Faye a flat 20% buff in Hit and Crit rate

Enemies also get a 20% hit rate buff because she disregards her own safety

Why aren't they making more unique support bonuses that relate to the characters like that one?

this. all dragon hags should have at least a thousand children.

Louis gets buffed when two women are within 2 spaces of him

Chloe gets buffed when a man and a women are within two spaces of her

Framme, Clanne, and Vander all get buffs for being next to Alear

that's basically what Engage personal skills were. (and it sucked)

Dragons bad

Turning Rhea into a baby factory while Edelgard watches
She has to witness every single birth and lovemaking session

wait is engage actually good? I skipped it because 3H was shit

Gameplay is a huge step up, story is back to the standard FE fare and the character designs are middle of the road at best

story is back to the standard FE fare

Is it at least as good as 7 and 8?

Nah, it's more Awakening or maybe Birthright tier

if the gameplay is good then I'll play it, thanks downloading now

Awakening

So, like, half of the plot is filler.

Birthright

I never played fates. I should, frankly.

Birthrights story is the best of the bunch, but that's not saying much when both Conquest and Revelation are absolute trainwrecks

Honestly, I would say it's about on the same level as FE8 story wise. The problem isn't really that it's 'bad' per se, it's just not very fleshed out, and it has some awkward moments due to 3D environment that the writing used to not have to really deal with in games where the story presented in 2D. At the same time, it has some really good moments too, especially ones that tie into the gameplay on the map and make it extra enjoyable.

Adrestes Eunt Domus.

I quite liked 8 storywise, mostly because of Lyon being the only retread of Hardin that actually worked, as well as the general solid and fun cast. So, this is honestly a positive.

what are you talking about, a trainwreck is fun to watch, Birthright's story doesn't even have that going for it, it's so by the numbers and straightforward with nothing interesting about it. it's the literary equivalent of staring at a field.
Birthright's story is by far the worst of the three, made even worse by the fact that the Hoshido side of the cast are all really uninteresting compared to the Nohr side.

yeah, some of the scenes like Ivy talking to Diamant in her introduction are really awkward and would probably have been fine if it had been presented like the GBA games did similar scenes.

It was good.

Engage was dogshit.

almost 10 years since Fates

we still don't know who the mysterious dancer was

Which handled "Playing as the bad guy" better, Fates or Three Houses?

which fire emblem does faggots like to give fellatio?

Kinda sad that this wasn't a accessory option for her in fates. Looks infinitely better than the regular one.

I think it's a decent game carried by the story the writer's managed to write the game in a way that each side feels justified in their actions so it has enough depth that everyone who plays it will have a different opinion on who's "right"

They're both bad in their own right

Fates

just do what the baddie wants you to while whining about it

TH

make the dwagon go insane and evil to pretend your genocide crusade is good and righteous

Anankos on paper and in the DLC is actually pretty well portrayed. Edelgard's motivation was decent but her going fuck it in regards to morality and employing the beats despite knowing what they are made of undermines a lot of her characteristics. The melodrama speech after her defeat especially sucks ass.

Engage is mechanically and visually the best looking Fire Emblem. The story is trash but it's kind of innofensive. It's just that comic of every fire emblem ever taken literally. I would check it out, the battle animations seriously look like the GBA games in full 3D.

i started learning febuilder and first thing i did was make my self insert oc and give him a 20 mt brave unbreakable nosferatu tome
i am a master of game design

that blue hair..uses a lance..wait, is it OBORO??

professor let me suck your cock

3h has one of the worst garbage i read.
did a teenager wrote this shit?

calm down kaga

dont forget...

change classes at school

betray my country and kill my friends

kek

to pretend your genocide crusade is good and righteous

I am very tempted to make a Anon Babble joke here, but I'll stop myself.

Frankly, I can respect them just for not making Dmitri a obvious heel like he is during Silver Snow and Verdant Wind. Rhea going off the deep end is glorious to behold.

Edelgard's motivation was decent but her going fuck it in regards to morality and employing the beats despite knowing what they are made of undermines a lot of her characteristics.

The slithers, while not a inherently bad idea, are honestly kind of a mistake. It says something that two routes pretty much ignore their existence and are arguably stronger for it. If they could have worked it would have been as starter antagonist, basically the Dong Zhou of the story.

I want a remake of it in the future but with the ones who did 3hopes.

To be fair, the amount of the cast that are genuinly loyal to their country can be counted on one hand.

This. It parallels to Edelgards being batshit insane and evil in Azure Moon.
Seeing what both of hem are like going off the deep end is good.
It makes seeing them both as heroes in their respective routes even better.

3kek

lol. THATS EVEN WORST
WTF WERE THEY THINKING

so if you recruit lords of houses like sylvain or ferdinand do their holdings also come with

thinking on it, not many units have real loyalties to their countries. more so they're loyal to their families living in said countries. or in Leonie's case, they're loyal to who pays most since she's basically gunning to be a merc.

Listen, not every character has dev backing for not just the main game but the spin-off.
Maybe in the future they should just write for that character instead of pretending to write multiple routes when they clearly didn't want to.

3h is the worst thing fe writing. its even worst than engage and fates

went from "le funny upside down dude" to "let's kill the pope to see what happens lmao"

BACK IN MY DAY WE HIRED THE LOCAL RETARD WITH AN AXE FOR OUR ARMY AND WE LIKED IT

Remember the cut content from Azure Moon where Felix and Annette were able to defect if you cave in to Dimitri's demands of bloodlust?

This had so much more potential. I mean Edelgard's crusade alone has so much leeway to this type of gameplay.

wasn't that revealed to be Marth all along?

As long as the Agarthan fight is playable then it'd take it.
Being able to deploy Byleth, Rhea, Seteth, and Flayn in the moleman base would be sick.

Probably the only one I genuinly question is Ferdinand.

What I hated most in 3H was how many classes were gender locked, and most of the ones I wanted to use were female only

muh let me suck your cock professor even though im underage

Back in the day you sent the protags wife to seduce men into joining and everyone was okay with it.
These days you cant even have womanizers (Sylvain doesn't count. He hates women).

Edelgard's motivation was decent but her going fuck it in regards to morality and employing the beats despite knowing what they are made of undermines a lot of her characteristics

completely disagree. her "i need to change things, by any means necessary" is one of the better parts of her character. She's already resolved to carve a bloody path through Fodlan for her goal, her whinging about the morals of crest beasts would be really fucking weird at that point.

To be sure. Would be great if, say, killing Claude actually had some major consequences. They could even have a very organic system where causing certain people to become friends might cause them to defect.

I think the main reason why they generally didn't do that was because they expected players would get mad. Which, much though I hate to admit it, they were probably correct.

yeah he seems awfully patriotic. don't think Ferdinand should b able to defect, but he is. admittedly it's not easy to make him defect, as u can only build C support with him in pt 1 and most byleth builds dont favor the skills he wants.

Marth would have killed all 3 houses (and his own men) just to get the secret ending while Kris watches

Back in the day you sent the protags wife to seduce men into joining and everyone was okay with it.

Caede is honestly one of my favorite girls because of that. Women is fucking shameless.

If I remember correctly, Three Hopes actually agrees since he's exclusive to the Empire route.

she's just willing to do "anything" to help Marth win the war, if that's not true love, what is?

Kill Claude

Get access to funds and the Route-exclusive relics, no assistance from Almyra in form of ally units, different paralogue

Spare Claude

Get ally units as fodder, increased funds.

It's that simple really.

Adding a risk to benefit ratio that complements story-related reasons is something that the average player isn't get mad for. I mean Shadow Dragon gave you a choice between recruiting one unit while the other gets decimated, pointedly ignoring the playable prologue in which you were forced to sacrifice a unit for Marth's escape to underline the severity of the situation.

Even Fates had such a minor deviation choice where you could either cave in to Corrin's peace driven methods and recruit Shura or slaughter him once for his family's safety and getting them boots.

Or what about the "Unit turns Enemy" instances in Radiant Dawn because of Family Reasons? While they might not be favored, they are good additions in light of the characters.

fact: it was better then Engage

EVERYBODY'S HERE

Alear Flayn is the most cursed shit

Then let's say, make her route the bloodiest one. Mandatory unit sacrifices. Remember the 2nd battle at gronder fields where if you don't recruit Bernadetta she ends up in a tower that Edelgards sets aflame for tactical benefits? Let the player do it.

Obviously shit changes if you get affected by it.

BOOO WE WANT MARK

Adding a risk to benefit ratio that complements story-related reasons is something that the average player isn't get mad for.

I want to believe you are correct. Though I also have a pretty low expectation of your average player.

I mean Shadow Dragon gave you a choice between recruiting one unit while the other gets decimated, pointedly ignoring the playable prologue in which you were forced to sacrifice a unit for Marth's escape to underline the severity of the situation.

To be fair, wasn't that really hated?

Honestly that just made fighting her even more worth it.
She was deadset on claiming there was no other option and she made sure to remove any other option from the table.
She wanted a fight and got it!

Then let's say, make her route the bloodiest one

Isn't it already the bloodiest one? Especially if you don't recruit much.

This is the Fire Emblem Warriors I want

As in let the players kill off their own units for story reasons.

It's my favorite map in the game. I like it more than ch 10, even

I forget Bernie gets cordially invited to Edelgard's bbq in that chapter if she goes unrecruited. doesn't she have some screechy dialogue about it too?

Didn't mean to quote this. Whatever I just like ch 17

it was my wife

Bernadetta: Wish I could've at least died at home...not in this big, stupid field...

Edelgard: Bernadetta, thank you. I'll make sure your life was not lost in vain.

They tried to get the persona audience with a steaming pile of half-baked and unbalanced social sim mechanics, and since the persona audience has no standards whatsoever as long as they get to feel like they're in school and have friends, this was successful

troongard

troonadetta

i am troon von aeger

whoreothea

why are BLACKED eagle have the worst shitters?

The gameplay genuinely sucks compared to Engage. That's one thing Engage has over Three Houses.

axe gives you multiple action in 1 turn

whats the logic here?

It's a magic evil murderaxe fed by the blood of your enemies, forged by ancient evil molepeople
Makes perfect sense for the red emperor to have, really

no, the Bernie-cue is pure fan headcanon. Bernie has to die before the fire even starts, and the tile Bernie is on can't even catch fire.

*first fire emblem was awakening*

burnie troons

so if i were to surround bernie with 4 units, leave her alive but kill everything else there, the fire never happens? lame.

the tile Bernie is on can't even catch fire.

woah, there's a raging firestorm all around me!

thanfully this one tile I barely fit on is inflammable! I am saved!

Please do not burn my berniebean

You can insult those, but leave Caspar out of this

Making her a mom a thousand times over!

The monastery being a slog is the number 1 reason I didn't do a second playthrough

I mean they could've unlocked an option to increase the EXP gain during monastery battles or deliver a new exp orb per NG+ cycle but fuck man, once you did the Renown Repurchases it's the only thing worth gunning for.

thanfully this one tile I barely fit on is inflammable! I am saved!

yes, that's actually how it works. the "one tile i barely fit on" is large enough for Bernie and her entire battalion after all, if you can fit like 10+ troops there its probably pretty big.

how do we stop big flier agendas?

make ingame pantyshots mandatory, the devs won't be able to put any more pegasluts in the games.

This. I loved both of these scenes with seeing her crazy side come out. Made me want to fuck her so bad.

Make them nopan, double their stats, and then make all the females able to relace into them!

There was something wild about seeing Edelgard turn into the hegemon husk and then declare she wants to rule the world.
It made the fight that much better.

god imagine if they had somehow made a CF Rhea ending possible where you drive her crazy and then fuck her.

Petra, my favorite Eagle. I take her with me on every route.

kind of weird Petra can defect at all, isn't she like, a political hostage of the empire?

For me its Ignatz and Raphael

Add an ending in AM where you can fuck the crazy hegemon Edelgard and i'm in.

instead of suicide by boar she impales herself on the professor's divine cock instead

Dimitri would be so pissed.

Yes but it's not clear on how much power the empire actually has over Brigid.

In a good timeline this would have happened. Cutting through the empire and the dubstep molemen with her would have been cool as hell.
Would have made the S-Rank afterwards better as well.

3H needed a route where you side with the real human beans to drive the dragons and their mongrel dogs from the face of the world

What vanilla+ mods for Engage?

Its a female Skeledirge. It becomes obvious when you realize she sings. The skeledirge probably just painted its flames blue somehow

I'd take it if it ends with everyone blowing up. It's would be funny as hell.
Both mongrels underground and aboveground wiped out in one glorious explosion.

don’t use armor knights

I will still use Draug
I will still use Valbar
I will still use Arden
I will sitll use Hannibal
I will still use Xavier
I will still use Bors or Barth
I will 100% of the time on every playthrough still use Oswin and he will still remain one of the best units of FE7
I will 100% of the time on every playthrough still use Gilliam and he will still remain one of the best units of FE8
I will 100% of the time on every playthrough still use Gatrie and he will still remain one of the best units of FE9
I will 100% of the time on every playthrough still use Gatrie and he will still remain as the best unit of FE10
I will use Benny over Effie every single time because the latter is a fake armor knight
I will turn Dedue into an Armor Knight every single time
I will never use Louis
Its that simple

There is the Playable Bosses and NPC mod isn't there?
Did they ever get far on make new Emblems?

I absolutely couldn’t stand the framerate and loading screens for the monastery sections
Is it a safe bet we’ll get a performance boost or should I just suck it up

Unless they explicitly confirm a upgraded version, just bite the emulation pill.

trans emblem

I miss the classic armor knights and General class.
The chain axe animation was cool

put dedue into armour knight in hopes

two +spd ups in a row

Maddening is fucking miserable even on NG+, I'm guessing you're supposed to spend your excess gold on pumping levels into your dudes. You just don't do any damage even with triangle advantage, stun gauge breaking and warrior specials.

Goldmary sex mod when

Everything would've been improved if the Agarthans weren't just evil psychos but legitimately anti-dragon racists who wanted to make a great human empire. Edelgard could actually be fully working with them as their modern piece, bringing them back into the open, instead of being just a violent retard who's being manipulated by evil mole people.

After the Lumera sex mod

Now I don't support paid mods, but if you were to ask me for a donation to a Celine sex mod...

she just like me frfr

Mmf

Celine is just female chudmitri

And the lumera preggo belly rub mod with hd rumble

Do you think the carpet matches the drapes?
As in, her cock is as big as her tits

PRINCESS HORT SEX DANCE!!!

Considering how she justifies herself, and how the game desperately wants to do so, it would have been funny if they tried to do the same with the Agarthans.
It would be a funnier manipulation.

all these modded images

i am honestly repulsed beyond words. The series should die a horrible death to destroy this putrid dogshit fanbase. You are all subhuman as fuck.

But are you a bad enough dude to use armor knight Robin, Corrin and Byleth?

That comes later but I like the idea!
Damn they really stepped up

Only if you use Armor Sword Alear as well.

Eh I don't agree. Dimitri's problem is that he feels way too much for his position. While Celine makes an active decision to feel nothing at all.

Armor knight is so incredibly bad in Fates.
