god this would be SO cool and my dream game if it wasn't for all those pointless filler units mucking it up. I really hope there's a way to shut them off. As it is, it's just too busy

Man, I couldn't disagree more. I think it'd look so weird in that action view without the filler units, since then you'd just have random people standing about at varying distances for no reason.

I'm now reading that the Black Eagles are a bunch of sassy, snarky shit talkers to each other and it's just making my initial house decision that much harder.

Oh here's the video that gif was taken from. Seems to be taken from a NG+ run since all the character models are in their post-skip forms but it's at the beginning of the game with pre-skip profiles. So I guess don't watch if you don't want to see the Golden Deer post-skip designs.

I've seen basically nothing of this game except the leaders' pre and post time skip appearances and that alone is enough to tell me Blue Lions is the right choice.

Just a heads-up, apparently someone got a hold of a copy of the game and has been posting images of their playthrough as they go. So spoilers are/probably will be starting to pop-up in the immediate future.

Sounds like the game's been datamined and the entire script is out there. So be careful with YouTube/Twitter/Facebook.

That said I just looked at the portraits of all the students post-skip and wow some of them are so good.

Soundless cutscenes have shown up on YouTube, so use caution.

Really, if you care about not being spoiled, now would be a good time to go into social media blackout.

Bernadetta loses her messy hair too.

How could the character designers screw up this badly between her and the above post

Edit: Also not a fan of Ingrid and Mercedes designs

The rest are pretty good-to-great though.

Now to stay away from the FE fandom for awhile

Also Lunatic isn't in the base game but will be coming sometime soon as a free update.

Though I thought I read there were already two harder difficulties unlocked after beating the game once. I saw the names Maddening and Infernal used.

The more stuff like this I see and hear the more I start thinking this has a real shot at actually being the best Fire Emblem. Crazy, considering just a month ago I couldn't give a toss about the game!

The big turnaround was the E3 trailer that revealed that there would be a timeskip and that it would be some real intense shit. Made it way more interesting than just a Hogwarts wannabe it seemed like initially. The favorable previews have only helped the hype.

I'm in the same boat as you, this game was such an afterthought for me that I didn't even register the delay into July. Now I'm all in.

same lol, went from not paying much attention to the news about the game to buying a Switch for it (as opposed to my initial plan of getting it for gen8 pokemon when that's out)

planning on playing it together with my parents since we did that for multiple playthroughs of PoR/RD back in the day; they haven't been keeping up with prerelease info afaik so it oughta be fun seeing reactions to the timeskip!

So would you guys buy this game if you were me?

I've always loved Fire Emblem, starting in 7 through to Radiant Dawn. I got Awakening but played on whatever the highest difficulty to start with is and eventually gave up because i hate same turn acting reinforcements and started a new playthorugh on easy mode that I'm part way through on, but never got through. I still put a bit of time into my playthrough a little every now and then but it's at the back of my mind at this point.

I bought Conquest but haven't touched it. I figured I'd get to it after Awakening.

I don't know anything about this game other than I heard there's a school and that you change classes and stuff and grow your characters a lot more than in other games.

Personally, I love growing characters up. I love taking like a Donnel or an Amelia and saying "come here little one, I will make you a god" and then training them up. I've always been super into any game where I develope characters, like Dragon Warrior Monsters, FFT etc.

But I think stuff like the marrying in awakening is dumb as hell. You pair them up based on some chart of information you would never actually know about from playing the game to get your children the best abilities like Galeforce or whatever the fuck. That shit is dumb as hell and I aint got time for that shit. I'm just going to ship the pairs I want because Gaius and Cordelia look cute together.

Should I buy Three Houses and play it now?

The inspiration for Three Houses most strongly comes from older Fire Emblems so you're probably good in this regard. Not sure about same turn reinforcements here but there's a mechanic that lets you "rewind" turns that I imagine would help deal with them... and again I don't even know if they're in this to begin with!

You're in luck. That's not here. No children. Romance seems to be more like the GBA games where it's support/paired ending based as far as I can tell.

Dissapointing to hear that the game basically sidesteps around the M/M pairings and they aren't legit, or at least that seems to be the case for one of them.

Only an 87? Boy what a mega stinker bomb. Worse than Fates LOL. I kid, but I actually was expecting a higher number given the almost unanimous positivity. I wonder if perhaps the 3DS games scored better because people just have lower expectations for handheld titles compared to a home console. Even the people who loved the game were still calling out the graphics and resolution and that stuff.

Despite the lower score though, the reviewers are still really upbeat about it. Even the snippet from the 6/10 review says veterans will like it, but it's just not as casual friendly as they'd have liked.

I assume he means spoilers about the timeskip, not the timeskip itself.
