It's a nintendo game so a price drop isn't a guarantee. My thoughts are
The story is pretty generic, the dialogue pretty one noted and the voice acting for certain characters pretty weighed down due to terrible localization by Treehouse.
Censorship of the romantic aspects of the game also may hender your experience
If you do not know who the previous Fire Emblem characters are the whole Emblem Ring concept may feel like an intrusive advert for previous titles
There is no new game plus despite the fact the game gives you so much to do you won't do it all on one playthrough
There's 3 waves of DLC confirmed with one confirmed to have a post script storyline
Maps range from doable to frustrating as hell without forward knowledge. Fuck fog of war in all ways
Character design may either make your horny or piss you off there are no inbetweens, through you could be the rare type who gets both
Music is alright but the opening theme is pure RWBY/Power Rangers cheese perhaps even Sonic or Kingdom Hearts level cheesy
Lot of clothing options but they are only for the base and can't be worn into battle.

If this were an original game and did not have the Fire Emblem name attached to it, I bet very well it would be an under the radar flop

How do I hide the text box over my units in combat telling me how much movement they have? I don't know how I managed to make it appear but I can't make it go away now.

On a side note: I'm really looking forward to when I can buy a new Switch (or whatever new system Nintendo puts out next) so I can finally mod my launch day Switch without fear of bans and do shit like this:

Based on some of the screenshots I've seen on /vg/, the mods for this game are going to be really fun and really stupid.

I see people online saying that it's best to promote early in this game. Apparently promoting doesn't slow down a character's experience gain (it slows down based on the number of times the character has leveled up in total) and promoted classes also give characters slightly better growths in addition to the immediate stat gains upon promotion.

My copy is arriving in a few days so I checked out how far some of the FE content creators are in the game. Mekkkah's at Chapter 3 Hard Mode with 3 1 hour videos while Excelblem's at Chapter 20 Maddening having 4 8 hour streams. Truly the GOAT FE tuber. I still love Mekkkah tho.

It doesn't matter when you promote. Promote ASAP for better base stats but nothing changes if you wait.

Only on chapter four but.. my god some of these character designs are awful. The prince for example. He looks.. goofy. Where's his armor??

And they did so far lean heavily into anime cringe. That's just my opinion, if you like it more power to you

Ugh.. I still never beat echoes, maybe I should go back to that. Or triangle strategy

Or give up on strategy RPGs for a while. The last few I've played after Three Houses have not been great, with triangle strategy just being the decent one. They even fucked up tactics ogre

I'll try it a while longer, but.. ugh

If you wanna do something dumb you can stick the emblem rings on underpowered/leveled or the wrong characters. Like I can't imagine Celica would be too helpful on someone like Louis who had something like 0 Mag. Although Warp Ragnarok would probably still be busted <_<

In unrelated news I'm slightly bothered that promoting Framme to Martial Master lowered her Res.

Why can't I see weapon weight on the inventory and store screen?

Do you earn more SP with higher tier bond rings or is it a base value for them?

Somehow, Framme is now my best character. I had her using Sigurd's ring for a while until she had enough skill points to inherit Canter (being able to heal and then move to safety sounded helpful) but then she also got Lance Proficiency and some godly level-ups along the way. Now she's a promoted Griffin Knight whose stats blow the rest of my army out of the water. She can attack, she can tank hits, she can heal, she can do it all.

It's really annoying you can't turn the camera all the way around. Even at minimum zoom it can be difficult to see some enemy's movement and attack range because of it.

Also the crit animations are deeply disappointing.

Sigurd is the most broken thing in the universe.

I just beat chapter 5, my initial impressions are that it's really hard to see the map as I'm playing and the menu for character stats feels so cluttered for some reason? I just have to get used to it but I like diving into the character pages of their stats and it feels kinda weird.

Also I wish Fire Emblem would stop the your parent gets killed almost immediately or they're already dead thing it's so exhausting

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I prefer the monastery to the somniel. At least once I've cleared the monastery I know everything is fine till the next month and I actually had real conversations with the characters there. Somniel is smaller and faster to run through, but it's such fluff of no value. You don't talk with the characters, you have a short one sentence piece of fluff dialogue. The visual imagery is extremely cloying and I feel its gonna end up burning my eyes. The music is annoying. It just feels like somewhere I don't want to spend my time.

Also why are "bond conversations" a thing that needed to happen? They're literally nothing.

...map design is great, though.

Who got the Divine Edition?
I did. My edition was already fucking opened, =/ (Both the top and bottom sticker was taken off by a knife).

As fas as I know every single item its supposed to come with is there, so I'm thinking someone gutted my copy to show off to coworkers or something. Yeah, it was a gamestop pick up, lol.

Also, they forgot to give me my tarot cards pre-order. (My brother had my back though. He picked his divine edition up and the dudes gave him 3 extra packs for whatever reason. Yeah, that location is a hot mess right now).

It seems like the enemies in the skirmishes are 1 lvl above your highest leveled unit (MC for me). I haven't had too much of an issue so far (only lvl 12 tho) but I also haven't really been moving out of the spawn area in the skirmishes I've done because they dont really give you an opportunity to. Just waiting for the enemies to come to me.
