Great timing. Haven't beat the game yet myself, was hoping the Xenologue dropped before I did, nice.
Everything about this game is goofy as heck except for the classic gameplay which is amazing on Maddening. Loving the game so far even with all cheese.
Does this mean that Fire Emblem will make an appearance in the Mario movie!? 🤯🤯
no probably not.
Alright time to see how the new scenario plays out.
Well time to dust this game off
Hard to talk about this without spoilers, but man this Xenologue has been fun. Alcryst with his temperament has definitely been cool and intimidating. Nil and Nel are pretty interesting, especially given spoiler circumstances for Nel. New classes seem fun, can definitely see some cool implements for them strategy wise.
Is it me or is this the fastest DLC ever released? I feel like we got everything in 2 months or less. Isn’t usually spread out within the next 12 months?
@Tendogamerxxx It was pretty fast, but I suppose since most of the DLC is used in the main game including the lower level skirmishes that it makes more sense to release quickly than not.
@Tendogamerxxx There were tons of rumors this game had been done for a long time before they eventually released it. If that was indeed the case it makes sense they had a ton of time to work on the dlc before release which is the opposite of most games.
I like that the DLC came out all within three months. It's a nice change from the usual long waits between waves, and works very well for a tactical series like Fire Emblem.
I deleted the game as soon as I finished it. Maybe if the mood strikes me to replay the game down the line I'll get the DLC but for now quite glad I didn't decide to spring for it.
Worst FE game in a good long while. Mystified by this site’s 9/10 review (as well as the same rating for the mediocre Ryza 3)
@scoobdoo I agree. I thought the combat, music and characrer design was excellent. But everything else was mediocre at best, story, dialogue, side activities etc. I'm baffled by the fact there's no newgame+. I hope they add it in the future. To me this is a 6-7/10 tops. I bought the DLC at launch so I'll play through it but after that I'm done.
Its a 9, borderline 10 from me. The storyline in FE has always been lacklusture so that didnt bother me too much. 3 Houses made an effort, Engage not so much!
The combat here though? Best in entire series by far and i've damn near played all of them. When you have the spare time and patience (for maddening mode) and its all falling into place then its glorious.
It'll be a wave 4 evening tonight!
Haven’t played this in a few good weeks but I guess I’ll come back to it and mess around with the new dlc for a bit.
Will definitely be giving this a go later today, I loved the main game and I rate it above three houses, which seems an unpopular opinion. What is it that people didn't like? The story was great and actually had emotion, graphics were great and an improvement, the actual gameplay was much better with the rings adding more strategy options and degrading weapons finally gone. The character designs were much better more colourful unlike the dullness of three houses where everyone wore the same clothes. Only negatives were the smaller main hub area and social interaction.
@Tendogamerxxx Its probably down to nintendo having a lot to release this year, we already have Zelda and Pikmin coming, then there's the Xenoblade chronicles story DLC coming this year and two Pokémon DLC's, and then there's the second half of the year which for all we know they might have a few main releases planned. If they released the fire emblem DLC during all that then it probably would of been over looked.
is there a new game plus yet?
@Tendogamerxxx the game sat on a shelf for a while, like Advance Wars and Metroid Prime Remastered did. So the DLC has probably been done for a while
Looking forward to playing it as soon as I come back from watching the Mario movie!
Maybe this is a weird thing to be focusing on, but I cannot for the life of me find what the new class types are! I'm going to assume that they're character specific unless I can find evidence to suggest otherwise, which would be a bit of a bummer because I was really hoping they would add something akin to an assassin/ninja...
Play this game daily. Going to binge on the Xenologue and the Mario movie today.
@TheBigBlue I find that ironic since you have Soren as you’re profile pic, but fair enough.
@UltimateOtaku91 I like your take on the game. Three houses truly had a better story and i could take it seriously in comparison to this game. Engage story is decent but the gameplay and comedy in the writing make it stand out. I think it’s on par with 3H
@Hero-of-WiiU There no right or wrong opinion, people just like certain games over others. I still really liked Three Houses especially the social and school aspect but I wasn't a major fan on the character designs, but maybe that's because I'm also a big anime fan and like my anime tropes so naturally Engage appealed to me more. Same with Xenoblade chronicles 2 I preferred over 3 for the same reasons.
Yes! I didn’t realize the final wave was coming so soon. Can’t wIt to get back in there.
I still get stock notifications for the Divine Edition. I'll pick it up if it goes down to the $60-80 range.
Still hoping we eventually get Three Houses Part Two. I want to see how all of the characters look when they're Even More Grizzled.
Can anybody tell me if there is a good point in the game that I should start the Fell Xenologue? I haven’t finished the game yet. On chapter 13 or 14. I heard you have to finish the dlc before getting the new class so is it intended to be played before completing the base game?
@MonkeyNinja506 You have to finish the new story to unlock the new classes and no, as far as I know they're not character specific.
@Darthmoogle Personally I'm playing it before doing chapter 10 to unlock all the new stuff before THAT happens but yes, it's definitely intended to be played before completing the base game unless you're going to replay that immediately after.
Need to fire up this game again. I did also buy the DLC as opposed to some whom doesn't want it and that's their choice.
Great to see more content! I didn’t expect to enjoy this game as much previous entries but it’s become my favorite Fire Emblem game since Awakening. Some of the dialogue is legit LOL, 10/10!
@UltimateOtaku91 I think overall 3 houses was the better of the two. I didnt really care for the transformation stuff, or the more light hearted approach. The graphics were better, and alot of the gameplay was more polished.
But the characters, story, VA, multiple routes, time skip, and replay value from NG renown as well as a MUCH better skill set up in customization means 3 houses is, when all is taken into account, a far superior work of art.
