I'm one of those that bought 3 Houses but not Engage. The idea of classic FE gameplay does sound appealing, but a lot of the stuff I heard about returning characters from other FE games doesn't appeal at all. I did 2 complete playthroughs of 3H to beat two of the routes, and it took a long time. If I want more FE, I could probably just do Fates anyway (I bought all the routes while I still could before 3DS shutdown, but only played far enough to unlock online stuff).

Also, 3 houses did not feel like a waifu/husbando game at all. Aside from choosing a spouse for Byleth, I didn't try to match characters together. Whatever pairings the game wants to give me at end game is what's going to happen. I mean, there's a lot of building relationships with the students, but that feels a lot different than pairing up characters in Awakening.
