Fire Emblem Engage: Chapter 23 beated.
Also the Paralogues after 21/22. But those were really underwhelming IMO. Marth's at least had some surprisingly strong enemies but Alear's was just boring and simple. Got the Pact Ring and gave it to Lapis. Super close call between her and Veyle and I'm already second guessing myself and think I would regardless of choice. I watched both S-Rank scenes and while Veyle's feels the more canon and Veyle deserves all the happy things FE S-Ranks are generally reserved for romance and yeah while Veyle's wasn't... this *is* FE and I can totally see the paired ending saying something like "And after the battle, Alear and Veyle found a letter Sombron wrote stating that Alear was adopted and he was waiting for the right time to tell the two of them." Fates-style lol. At least the S-Rank art is *waaaaaay* better than Three Houses was, at least the two I saw. never forget that edelgard one.
Engage+ is nuts lol. I'm not even sure what the accepted strategy is here but I'm just not running Alear with an Emblem Ring any more (Veyle taking Byleth in his place) and just an S-Rank Bond Ring. If we're running 14 deployments now with 12 Rings + Alear it works out. I guess I could do the same for Lapis to free up that ring but since Seadall is just dancing people I have him as the other Bond Ring holder.
Anyway, my army is too strong so Chapter 23 wasn't a challenge but I suppose now is a good time to say the Four Hounds have been a super weak antagonist group. They basically show up out of nowhere and are pretty static and almost comic book villains. Which is why it's actually kind of frustrating that Zephia and Griss get like *all* the characterization in their literal dying cutscene. Where the hell was that all game? For the first time I was actually interested in them!
