I only got to chapter 8 the first time I played this so I just started from the beginning. I just did the chapter whereDid your Switch screen dim before the scene was over?hot mom dies
Are you just playing the base game? Or do you have access to the DLC?I only have base game but I thought about getting the dlcs I'm not sure yet

I very heavily recommend against the DLC, for what it's worth.All of this. Engage has probably the only DLC I've ever regretted buying in my entire life. The Xenalogue sucks and the DLC Emblems just completely break the balance of the main game and make it trivial to steamroll.
It's pretty rare that I feel explicitly ripped off by buying something video game-related, but...I felt it with that DLC. The Xenologue is super unfun to play, the new content is implemented pretty poorly, and it's kind of hard to avoid just breaking the game with it. I'm a huge FE fan, but I sincerely just hated the DLC and regretted buying it.

My favorite always tends to be the thief/assassin characters because they become crit monsters. So in this game, my favorite was Yunaka.
You will likely gain like 10 levels just clearing Camilla's mapOh yeah, and also this. Even if you don't use the DLC Emblems, just playing the DLC maps will put your EXP into turbodrive.
Do you have a best girl yet?I like Chloe for two reasons. I also like Etie, I remember liking Lapis also.
Best girls are Citrinne and Goldmary.Nah the best girls are Citrinne and Yunaka.
I rescued the villager character for engage is he worth leveling?Uh... What's the name? I don't remember who that is lol
Uh... What's the name? I don't remember who that is lolI don't recall tbh he's some kid with the same class as Framme
I rescued the villager character for engage is he worth leveling?
Oh Jean. He didn't feel worth investing in, so I don't know how he does when fully leveled.
I rescued the villager character for engage is he worth leveling?Both the paralogue "trainee" units suffer from classic trainee issues. They take a ton of resources to ultimately get units that won't actually surpass their non-trainee counterparts until the very late game, assuming they do at all. And those same counterparts could use those same resources to give you a powerspike way earlier when it is more relevant.
Nah the best girls are Citrinne and Yunaka.Veyle, Yunaka and Panette
I think Jean's an interesting design for a trainee unit with how his personal skill works. I just don't think it synergizes well with how resource management works in Engage.Second Seals also come way too long after he joins.
Casual reminder that Vander falls off fucking fast, like his last useful outing is Firenne castle after that he's space filler til you get more units, Alear's two attendants somewhat fair much better but pickle boy will need a bit of a jump because of how fast you get better mages than him and Alear themselves can be a monster if you know what you're doing and who to keep them close to poor Vander tho but he's not alone Alfred starts falling off pretty quickly as well far quicker than his sister the walking teacup doesVander easily warrants roster spot throughout the whole of early game and will be putting in more work than most of the early game scrub squad. Framme is also an auto-deploy throughout the whole of the early game and a decent part of the midgame as she is your best staffer for a long time. Yes there are better units with staff access but almost all of them will probably want to be doing something else with their turn instead of staffing. She does eventually get outclassed by one specific unit but that takes quite awhile.
-snip-You should probably spoiler tag that. TC only got to chapter 8 in her first attempt at playing this game >_>
Casual reminder that Vander falls off fucking fastI feel like that's a staple of the franchise at this point. OP horseback unit that falls off super fast lol
Clanne's doing alright in my playthrough but I feel like Celine is gonna make him obsolete her level ups feel betterCeline actually doesn't grow very well as a combat unit, she has a strong start but her growths are pretty rubbish. The early game units are pretty poorly balanced. She's pretty good as a longterm utility unit but that takes knowing the game's mechanics to make the most of.
I feel like that's a staple of the franchise at this point. OP horseback unit that falls off super fast lolNo, the idea of a paladin falling off due to poor growths is severely overstated in this fanbase, to the point that they made a whole fake archetype of units to cope with how many of them don't do that.
Is this better than three houses?What are you looking for in an FE game?
I genuinely think Vander might be the most well-balanced Jegan since FE6 Marcus.He is really good. He does the job of tanking and setting up kills very well, and having 6 move keeps him relevant for a good while. I have a rough time imagining benching him before ch12.
He is really good. He does the job of tanking and setting up kills very well, and having 6 move keeps him relevant for a good while. I have a rough time imagining benching him before ch12.Same. I consider chapter 12 the start of mid game and that's really the first point where he struggles to justify a deployment slot.

Celine is strong at the beginning but falls off hard after a while. You'll get more reliable candidates for mages later.Celine pops off hard with a forged Levin Sword and
Is this better than three houses?
Celine pops off hard with a forged Levin Sword andLevin Sword Celine is a huge meme. Bolganone is a better weapon in every way unless you're going for a high investment build using a max-forge Levin Sword with Sword Power, in which case it's not that Celine is doing anything special and more that you just funneled a lot of resources into her.Bylethequipped. It's more Celica that falls off a cliff imo.
In terms of core gameplay, absolutely yes. In terms of story, absolutely not. Which of those you value more when playing a Fire Emblem game is up to you and will decide whether you like Engage or Three Houses more.well, I didn't really find the story that engaging in three houses, so maybe this game would be more my speed

Outside of the Bond rings, what is there really to NG+ carryover? Nation funding?
