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.

Throw them for a curve and give them ghibli movies

Important Fire Emblem engage question

Is there a goth girl with a toxic personality?

 

[Z25]

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

Yeah, thats a pretty big late LATE game spoiler

Is there a goth girl with a toxic personality?

Kinda yes kinda no? Idk didn't recruit her yet

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

There is one but she isnt toxic
Shes also a sister to a frat boy priest that love to throw rager parties

 

[PeridotGX]

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.

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.

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.

There is one but she isnt toxic

If she doesn't abuse me then WHAT'S THE ****ING POINT?

 

[TheMightyP]

If she doesn't abuse me then WHAT'S THE ****ING POINT?

May be a hunch but I think Fire Emblem isn't the issue here.

This does nor give you the right to pull up my posts about wanting a racist FE girl

 

[Z25]

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.

[Roguewolf]

Luvdisc is one of those few Pokémon I actively hate and I legitimately hope it never gets an evolution out of spite

Yo but hear me out lovediscus

[Noipoi]

Luvdisc evolves into a giant, pink, hear-shaped eel.


That's Amoray

 

[TheMightyP]

Isn't Luvdisc a lyric of that Parappa Song?

You know:
Luv-disc
Love Punch
Love Chop

I really hope this was GF acknowledging people assuming Alomomola was a Luvdisc evo

Ngl, im high key glad the child system didnt come back in Engage

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

 

[Noipoi]

More paradoxes and more convergents in the DLC pls

 

[Jondolio]

More paradoxes and more convergents in the DLC pls

Also more cross-gen evolutions

Actually give me more Pokémon in general I don't wanna wait for the next gen for more pocket mans

 

[Pokelego999]

Honestly, I've been loving the amount of variety they've been giving to Pokemon in recent Gens. All the new ones may be getting a ton of random alternate forms, but at the same time, older mons are getting all these cool new alternate forms as well. It's really nice to see.

the hell was that Persona 4 intro? Felt like I turned into a sexy anime hippie
