Topic: Fire Emblem Engage for Nintendo Switch

I just watched this video from GameXplain showing a few scenes.

I really like the more lighthearted approach, and I'm already a fan of Framme and Clanne.

Also, is Framme's voice actress the same as Sothis from Three Houses? Sure sounds familiar.

edit
Where are all these Fire Emblem 1/7 scale statues coming from? Seriously, what the heck?

Roy from Binding Blade, son of Eliwood (FE6) note: Fire Emblem 7 on GBA, the first game to release in the west, was a prequel to Binding Blade, so the characters from this JP-only release are children of the characters we know from FE7

Lily from Binding Blade, daughter of Hector.

And some chick from Heroes I'm not familiar with. She actually looks really cool, but since I don't play mobile games I don't really care.

Chapter 7 Gameplay

Game is looking fire, my hype is in overdrive right now. It's been 4 years since the last Fire Emblem, and even longer since the last old-school gameplay focused entry. I'm thirsty for this. So so thirsty.

12 Days To Engage

This video deftly summarizes all the info revealed thus far. Of particular note are the various classes, skills unlocked in those classes and what they do.

I didn't realize it but, Pegasus knights aren't in this game. Instead there are "Griffin Knights" which serve as their replacement. Kind of a cool change of pace. I really dig their look.

@JaxonH all pretty much the same re Pegasus and gryffin. Can't wait! Guess I need to really start chipping away at Chained Echoes now to be in good shape for Engage. It felt like it was much longer away than 12 days!

I really can't/don't want to wait at this point. I've been thinking all morning that Friday is the day, only to realize that it's next week...

11 Days To Engage

@JaxonH I don't know about you, but it's going to be my driving force to survive that work day. It's going to be a great weekend!!

HEADS UP! There are spoilers in the wild. Please be cautious if you want to save as much as the experience for yourself.

Might actually consider buying this since it looks like a better experience than three houses. I still want to finish TH but that monastery exploration really is just a slog and I feel compelled to do it to get as much as possible out of the game, oof… so I’ll get my FE-fix with this instead, probably.

@ElRoberico Thanks for the heads up!

Can someone tell me who's got the best pre-order bonus? I canceled my Amazon copy since it was set to come in days after the 20th. So im looking to place a pre-order somewhere else. I do have a BB gift card which would be useful if they have anything going on.

@NintendoByNature I don't even know if anyone has any pre-order bonuses to be honest.

@ElRoberico well that stinks. Thanks for the reply.

8 Days To Engage

@NintendoByNature
Only Europe with a poster through the Nintendo Store. Aside from that, Gamestop has some art cards I think.

Ah man, I’m getting really excited for this one. I’m gonna be out of town when it launches unfortunately so I won’t be playing it day 1, but right when I get back I’m gonna be playing a ton.

@JaxonH guess ill be off to best buy to use up the gift card.

@NintendoByNature Yeah, GameStop does have a Tarot Card deck.

@Ulysses
Have you not played Fire Emblem before?

It's so good. Pin or not, join us in the depravity of our unbridled hype orgy! Very few games warrant excitement on this level. Monster Hunter, Metroid, Xenoblade, Zelda... and anytime we get a new Fire Emblem.

I'm tempted to take the 20th off. I need a mental day, and that seems like the best bet.

Ngl, I took the day off for it. Why the heck not, right? Heheheh.
