I'm sorry if I seem cynical of Engage. I do think it's a good game. The gameplay is fun, the characters are thankfully likeable, and I don't totally hate all of the designs. And as critical as I am of them relying on the star power of old characters, I'm still happy to see my girl Eirika get rep.

But it's also just not the direction I want Fire Emblem to be going in. Oh well. Shrug.

I'm really starting to get tired of our family movie nights. All my parents want to watch for them are Oscar nominees and award-bait movies get boring fast after a while.
Not the case here. We usually watch indie horror films in addition to the occasional new big hit films. Have you tried to convince them to try watching slightly lesser known films, or at least non-Oscar nominees?

On that note, the number of indie films on streaming platforms is almost astonishing. Less surprising is the fact that many are them are done in the Found Footage style.

That's the thing, a lot of long time fans were actually really disappointed in Awakening's story at the time.

Then Fates happened and the story was 1,000x worse so everyone forgot.

I don't think Awakening nor Engage have the worst stories in the world, but I also don't blame people for wishing for a little more.
Which is weird because I remember a lot of longtime fans still enjoying awakening. The biggest problem being they didn’t like the child mechanic.

Fates was definitely bad.Conquest is like the only sort of passable one.

I would also wager there’s probably more fans who joined with awakening then there are long time fans before that. The sales for the game were huge and a lot of it was new players.

Granted it’s easy enough to play the older games so maybe their thoughts have changed.

Either way engage is pretty fun.

Also I gotta say, as someone whose been like meh on any of the protags in recent games( dimitri and Claude are my favorites of recent games), I actually really like Alear.

Their line delivery and acting is perfectly. Really makes their dialog work. Out of the gate they feel more invested in the story then robin or the corrins did tbh.

Might be one of my favorite protags right. Which is the only reason I haven’t sacrificed my female one in heroes for fodder lol

On the plus side, FE4 remake with support conversations should be godlike. SoV's presentation is so good, I genuinely can't go back to older games cause of it setting such a high standard

My parents are on the complete opposite side of that spectrum. All they watch are cop shows, Hallmark movies, and occasionally "ghosts are real" shows.

Similarly important Fire Emblem question

Is there a tomboy?
I would say yeah kinda of. Lapis gives me Tom boy vibes even though she still looks feminine
Yeah, thats a pretty big late LATE game spoiler

Male Alear is my avatar in this. Brandon Mcinnes did a great job this game. Hope he finally got his special edition.
No woman who will mistreat me and make me feel terrible about myself, no buy.
But there’s Chloe who wants to love and protect you. Seems like the better option if you ask me.

Also speaking of Chloe:

She kicked Tiki’s ass in her map. Tiki with 3 health bars was wild, but Chloe with the 3 houses ring goes pretty crazy on most maps. Her flier range allows her to come into any fight and pull off a variety of effects. Really fun play style to make use of. Plus with Shareena’s Lance she can reduce some of the damage she takes.

I saw an Altaria one that's a rabbit. Don't have it on me right now but it was so good and I don't even like Altaria
I haven't seen that one but I like this convergent Swablu line

because when I first saw Swablu's menu sprite I thought it was like a fish spitting water or something
