( I’m also reminded of last year’s Cult of the Lamb.)Īs lacking as Engage is on the social side, it soars in its turn-based battles. The overall loop actually feels more like Fire Emblem games used to, before Three Houses shook things up. If Three Houses drew inspiration from Persona’s calendar-focused and character-oriented gameplay loop, Engage feels more like a management sim in which you’re returning to base to perform menial chores and maintenance before the action kicks in again. So, no, you won’t spend your time at the Somniel getting to know a small cast of characters intimately - instead, you’ll be micromanaging your fighters’ skills, gathering cooking ingredients, doing pushups to gain buffs during the next skirmish, and adopting a veritable zoo of barnyard animals to grant you supplies. By the time Chapter 8 ended, I was already defaulting to the same dozen characters for most fights, consistently leaving the redundant eight or so in reserve.Įngage’s social elements are less Persona and more Cult of the Lamb Three Houses gave you a concrete group of students to instruct, train, and fall in love with throughout your campaign, while Engage returns to the traditional formula of recruiting new soldiers as you traverse the world map. Occasionally, the “support rank” between two characters has improved from a “C” rating to a “B,” promising proximity buffs in subsequent missions.Įngage’s intermittent social elements are cursory, less concerned with character development than in how these interactions will manifest in the next fight. I’ve dined with some teammates, exercised with others, and gifted my allies a variety of items I’ve found lying around our HQ. Throughout the first eight chapters (the chunk I’m allowed to talk about here), I’ve spent a great deal of time at the Somniel, this game’s base of operations. That’s not to say there aren’t any social elements in Engage. Whereas the 2019 epic dove headfirst into relationship simulation between turn-based battles, the upcoming Engage is almost entirely focused on the militaristic side of things. Yeah i'm kinda the devil advocate on this game but i think resetera is too hard on the Fire Emblem franchise.If Fire Emblem: Three Houses was a zig, Fire Emblem Engage is the resulting zag. Even on the map you can recognise "FE Heroes" icons. I knew since the announcement that this would go "awakening" territory. Even Ivy don't seem to be.like that.Īs for the story, it was supposed to be simple, just by the first trailer of september since it's apparently an "anniversary game" that was supposed to be out in 2021 for the 30th of the saga. the only character that feel like " camilla" (and i hate Camilla for FE Fates as you do, it's miles above xenoblade chronicles 2 cringe), there is only one villain from the game. I mean seriously i read the whole preview thread it was already like this and it will be the same for the next FE even if it's a remake of Genealogy of the holy war (as many are assuming, apparently there is some leaks).Ĭome on. "Every fire emblem game since 1991 is full of nudity and sexuality" This topic gonna go "fire emblem is bad, Nintendo need to stop with this licence forever and bring back F zero, it's because of IS if there is no new Fzero or kid icarus"
