>>1752154 I was thinking Awakening levels of time passed as well. It's why I was so confused people were so sure there would be obvious plot references and there simply don't have to bare. Dagda was barely talked about outside Shamir's supports and even the stuff she says was pretty vague. It would be easy as fuck to not confirm anything from the previous game.

>>1749387 >the MC seems to be a guy with dreads named Cai They should've just made not Alucard the main character lol. Is Cai meant to be an MU? If so IS should just give up on adding avatar characters to FE games or just make the MU a random silent mute with barely any relevance to the plot like Mark from FE7. >maybe we will see that remake of FE4 I hope so, even if I mainly want one just for more Brigid content

>>1752781 It's still possible you pick an MC. If they're trying to ape Three Houses and get that audience doing routes would be a part of that. Maybe instead of an Avatar you pick one of the MCs to start as.

I just realized I have to care about the Switch 2 now. Or, more accurately, Switch 2 emulation. Son of a bitch.

>>1753025 I ignored everything with the Switch 2 launch because the only things that would get me to buy a new system would be a new FE or Xenoblade, so I'm in a similar boat.

>>1753036 I wouldn't even go that far. I got a Switch for Three Houses and BotW, but by the time Engage came out I just emulated it and had a way better time than using the damn thing. That was what, 300 bucks for 2 games? Fuck that. My console-buying days are over. If a Switch 2 emulator comes along then great, let's play Four Houses or whatever it's called a year or two from now. If not? Oh well, sucks to suck. That's not even mentioning how insanely expensive modern consoles and their games are getting. Or how expensive modern everything is getting. >>1753038 I guess we'll see. The emulation scene is kinda suspect lately.

>>1753025 >Switch 2 emulation I'm afraid you'll be waiting a while. Switch 1 emulation happened so fast because of a hardware vulnerability in the launch models. There's nothing like that for Switch 2. >>1753038 >It's still about a year away so there's time. Do you mean this game or emulation? I would be shocked if we had stable Switch 2 emulation of any sort within a year. Pleasantly shocked, but shocked. If you mean the game itself I could see it being out by summer. Maybe coming out in July just like 3H did.

>>1752154 >>1752572 I must be retarded, because I always forget that Awakening and FE1 are connected for some reason. Makes a lot more sense thinking about it like that. >>1753082 Same reason I never bought a (new) Switch. I thought about it after the 3H release, but there wasn't anything else I wanted to play so I couldn't justify it. Still considering a used one for both Engage and 3H, but only if I can find a good deal. If not, I'll just sit on my emulator and game files and wait until I eventually build a new PC that can run it. >had a way better time than using the damn thing How was it better? Would you recommend just skipping the real thing entirely?

>>1749387 Was engage that bad saleswise? I remember it getting wrapped up in localization bullshittery (and avoided it myself due to that and censorship related BS) but I don't remember hearing about sales being THAT bad, just below 3 houses levels, which is expected for such a dramatic shift in tone.

>>1755317 Pretty sure it was fairly significantly below Three Houses and the community reaction was more much polarized.

Oh, shit, did I do something wrong? >>1755317 >>1755376 It's a shame. I liked Engage. It wasn't anything like Three Houses, but it also wasn't trying to be and you could tell that at a glance.

>>1755317 As far as sales went it did average, especially once you consider 3H did have the covid boost long term before engage came out.

>>1763494 Of course the only time this thread gets any activity at all is when 4chan fucking dies.

>>1763554 we can talk about engage girls if you want

Does Namschizo know about this place?

>>1763554 i always keep a tab for 8chan >>1763628 i dont know about schizos

>>1763571 Sure why not.

>>1763882 i just love how odd yet pleasing to look at alear and hortensia theyre definitely my girls

Late to the party but I'm pretty let down it's another game set in 3h. Although what no one is considering is that maybe they'll follow a route from hopes... I just don't want this stupid smelly merc to be actually gone

>>1776935 My personal feeling is it will connect to TH about as much as Awakening did to FE1. Maybe slightly more. But it's probably not going to feel that much like a sequel.

>>1776935 I still have no idea the fuck were they thinking when they made shez canonically stinky. For what fucking purpose?

It hasn't been mentioned here yet, so I guess I'll take up the mantle. Not sure how many people here haven't heard already, but... Out of nowhere, about 6 hours ago, Nintendo just announced and released "Fire Emblem Shadows". Yeah, not only was it just announced, it's also immediately downloadable too. Here's a series of relevant links. Website: https://shadows.nintendo.com/en-US/index.html News Release Article: https://www.nintendo.co.jp/corporate/release/en/2025/250925.html Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hqMRXKUNwo I haven't gleaned too much info because I am lazy but from what I can tell, it's a mobile game that features social deduction elements. Apparently it's something like you do a campaign of 3 people and 1 of them is a traitor. The characters have shadow forms which are animalistic in nature. Also images of Lyn and Dimitri from the game have been making some waves. Specifically, they feature Horsegirl Lyn and Lion Dimitri along with their shadow forms. First pic is from the news article and the next 5 are from the app stores. The rest are from 4 and reddit . Very cool that 8chan allows multiple images. Hopefully all the images get through.

>>1786977 It seems that there's a image limit of 5? Here's the rest of them

>>1786985 Last one. Some of the new characters. From here: https://www.nintendo.com/jp/topics/article/ce4be779-7cf7-4de4-bfd2-e844eb03efc1

>>1786977 just why

>>1786977 Considering how good people are with photoshop and digital art, if someone presented this game as some kind of April Fools joke, I would totally believe it was one. >Very cool that 8chan allows multiple images. Hopefully all the images get through. As you saw, 8moe allows for up to 5 attachments, and the total upload limit is a whopping 50MB (though a single file can't be more than 30MB or something thereabouts). You can also upload both .mp4 and .webm files, and they can have sound too. >>1786985 >>1787041 It feels like the suits got together and thought about what degen groups they hadn't pandered to yet. They have the fujos, the homos, the anime addicts, and the gacha obsessed. And now they're trying to get the attention of the furries. <first pic Is Kurt secretly female? I translated the caption text under that pic on the website and it does describe Kurt as a prince. But in that monster form, it seems like there are noticeable mounds under the chest bindings, which look less like pectorals and more like boobs. The waist looks kind of feminine too, though that could be explained away as Kurt having a more feminine body shape because of his presumed character archetype.

>>1789051 王子 can be used for females in fantasy, but it carries the implication the character is a very boyish girl that young ladies have the hots for (or she's actively pretending to be male, but that doesn't count).

>>1786977 what the fuck

>>1583133 Don't play Engage, that's the N-Word of the series. Plus the character designs are hideous. At least Three Houses gives you a solid Fire Emblem experience with decent replay value. Engage does not.

i cant believe it. they actually made engage more appealing now

>>1789684 I thought that was supposed to be Fates. You are free to say nigger, faggot, kike, tranny as much as you want, in this place.

>>1789051 >spoiler Yeah, she is.

>>1786977 DoA the game. >>1789051 >>1789272 She is. She's also a /u/ protag.
