>>41659764>People have, historically, complained that those moments get brushed aside for "lol lmao bandits". i can concede that being a preference thingPerhaps I'm not getting my point through. The problem isn't that it is trying to be serious, and it's trying to have a dramatic introduction; the problem is that it's trying and failing, and as a result the introduction comes across as trite rather than impactful. Games like FE1 and Langrisser 1 have a rapid introduction that serves the purpose of a simpler game with a simpler story, hell, even FE8 still has a rapid introduction with the whole first chapter taking all of five minutes; whereas Engage has a very slow introduction placing a lot of weight on the death of a character who has only just been introduced and who spends as much time dying as they did breathing on-screen beforehand. You can compare it to something like Xenogears or Xenoblade 1 which also start off with a character's death setting the protagonist's quest in motion, but those games actually give you a decent amount of time to get to know the characters and feel invested in them and the setting before killing them off and expecting you to care.
>The only one note character is celice because all she does is talk about teaYou forgot Etie and "dude muscles", Alfred and "dude water", Alcryst and "dude I suck", to think of a few. Sure, there are ones that aren't like that, and the older games definitely also had a problem with it at times, but the support writing in Engage is a huge step backwards from Three Houses, which is probably why it's as annoying as it is.
>>41659773>I'm not a very big fire emblem guy but I've heard that this game is more focused on the "gameplay" aspect rather than the social.Compared to the previous game that's definitely true. I could talk about balance issues but this isn't really the place for it, I guess I can say that the combat animations are the best they've ever been so that's something anyone playing it could appreciate.
