UK Charts: Fire Emblem Engage Tumbles Down To Seventh Place

So consumers are less engaged in it as of late?

Makes sense. Fire Emblem is still fairly niche so most people who wanted it already bought it.

How is Mario Kart 8 on the chart every week for 5 years? No wonder we can’t get another one soon.

I have yet to play a fire emblem game should I start with this or three houses ?

@dil_power I would personally. I enjoy it more than Engage.

Sadly, I'm not surprised. What captured people w/three houses were the deep characters (most of them at least) and their development over the course of the game against the backdrop of a deep story. Many people likely went in to Engage expecting the same, when in fact all those things have been turned down in favor of the combat (which to be fair, put fire emblem on the map back in the day, but doesn't have as broad appeal).

Without the deep characters/story, it's very easy to get battle burnout from the repetitiveness and have to take a step back from the game, something people may have shared with friends who were also thinking of getting the game.

Don't get me wrong, I like Engage, and I still plan to finish it, but it just doesn't capture the same level of magic that Three Houses did.

@Munchlax you joke, but the rumor is that Geanology of the Holy War is getting remade.

Good. Nintendo have gotten pretty lazy the past few years just churning out the same IPs and letting others rot.

Lose the fire emblem and Pokémon for a while and get me a punch-out, 3D Mario, pikmin, metroid prime or heavens forbid - something brand new!

@ElRoberico source? I’d kill for this. The absolute pinnacle of the franchise IMO. Why they never revisited the giant procedural map idea in subsequent instalments confuses me.

@dil_power
Three houses.

@Spookles I really can't agree on this. Not only this year will actually see the release of a new Pikmin and a new Metroid, but, while it's true lately we got too many Pokemon and Kirby (only one main Fire Emblem and a Warrior since 2019), Nintendo even realeased the last two years a new Xenoblade, Splatoon, Switch Sports, Famicom Detective Club, Game Builder Garage, Metroid, Warioware... lots of different IPs.

@Herna It depends on what your definition of niche is. Yes, some FE games have done really well, but compared to Mario, Zelda, Splatoon, Pokemon, not so much. That's not to say a million sales is bad, but compared to Nintendo's other AAA series ...

Makes sense to me. Three Houses is my favorite game on Switch and I'm skipping this one. I'm sure it's a good game, especially for longtime fans, but seems like they cut down on most of what I (along with many others) liked about Three Houses. Maybe I'll pick it up some day, but no rush.

Engage probably has the best gameplay in the series so far. Calling it a lazy sequel is definitely a reach. Three houses had good characters but the monastery was extremely tedious for a big part of the community. I get that many people dislike the fact that Engange is not 3H 2, but I really don't understand why they can't aknowledge the things that Engage gets right. Sales rarely tell the whole story. Echoes sold considerably less than fates and awakening. So what? It was a great game.

I still intend to pick it up, but waiting till I'm done my current backlog. I'm sure it's right up my alley but reviews seem pretty mid

@WiiWouldLikeToPlay Yeah, but then why are people yelling for nicher franchises (cough F-Zero cough cough)? Because sales don't equate quality

I'm not too shocked Engaged fell, but down to 7th?
And how did Forspoken take 4th?
Whatever, the Brits just love to buy terrible games, so why am I shocked?

I'm glad that the game focuses on the gameplay more than anything. 3 Houses was not only ugly but it was tedious, I couldn't get into 3 houses.

Debuted with 30% lower sales than Three Houses.
Tumbled down to seventh place in Week 2, whereas I believe Three Houses stayed at #1 on the top ten chart for its first two weeks on the market.

Unless it's way more popular in North America, I don't think this is outselling Three Houses.

At least it got its moment in the sun, though. This is Forspoken's debut week, right? And it's being outsold by God of War, lol.

@Spookles the same source that accurately leaked Engage last year mentioned it was coming. I don't know where the leak originated from outside of someone in China.

Is there really anyone left who doesn’t own Mario Kart 8 Deluxe?

TBF this is UK. Nintendo’s weakest area of influence. Even with a mammoth release of Pokémon S/V, Nintendo barely won the region in 2022.

That said noticed 3H did better in comparison both debut and legs wise so at least in UK there was no series growth for FE compared to prior mainline game.

@Ralizah does not surprise me as god of war ragnarok will sell between 20 and 30 million when it is all said and done..

I expected it, this game does not feels as "big" as three houses did, the same feeling echoes had actually. I think this was a mid-low bugdet game thought for a period where the switch is getting to its final years

@Ralizah I doubt Engage is gonna beat 3H unless NA super carries it. Even in Japan it barely sold around 1,000 more compared to 3H despite the much larger install base Engage had compared to 3H and remains to be see how well the legs will be.

Could be many reasons why: Metacritic reviews scaring buyers away [lower compared to 3H in both critic and user scores], people that got into FE to begin with because of the social content lost interest when the word was spread that it was gutted, or maybe could be people were that turned off by toothpaste hair color or thought Engage was “too anime” whatever that means.

@Broosh A 76% drop in the second week is completely normal. JRPGs often have even bigger drops.

I was very hesitant when it came to this game, especially because of the Colgate hero design, but to be fair now that I'm playing it I can't complain. The battles are burning away quickly and I'm enjoying them the most. It's true you don't feel as much attachment as in 3H, but at the same time I don't know if I want to invest as much time in a FE game. I completed the Golden Deer route and I never got to try and complete the other two (damn backlog, huh). So, to those of you who are still considering getting it, would I recommend it? Absolutely.

@Arawn93 toothpaste really was a weird choice... so off-putting. Colgate used to try and sell frozen lasagna, in terms of stupidity I think this could be par

@BTB20 Oh I wasn't making a real statement about the sales figures, just saw an opening for a silly "engage" joke 💀

@SilverM fair enough. Not going to argue the toss. I’ve been waiting for a pikmin game forever so that’s very welcome. I’ll believe prime 4 when I see it. I just feel like I’m bored to tears of the only big flagship titles being Pokémon and fire emblem.

It just feels a bit uninspiring to me. The last few years have lacked the Nintendo magic in my opinion. I’m probably just old.

I mean yeah, most anyone who is interested in Fire Emblem would be buying right away. There's not much of a casual fanbase for that series.

Where’s goldeneye 😱💔

@StAmbrosius There's woke in there? I didn't know about that? what was woke about it? I have yet to buy the game

That's actually still decent for an SRPG. Especially in the UK market where the charts are just dominated by evergreens

@Shiro28 there's nothing woke about it. It's all performative BS.

Or it's because there are non-white people in it, and OP is dog-whistling.

A drop like this for a game like Fire emblem is pretty normal, isn't it?

I'm just happy that new Fire Emblem games can manage to hit #1 on opening week, even in Nintendo's weakest market.

7th is actually better than I predicted. Still in the top 10 for a relatively niche game in It's second week. It's performed well.

Tbh, strategy games have always had a rough time reaching audiences in gaming so not surprised. I just hope Engage continues to do well at least.

@Spookles 1. Pokémon isn't Nintendo, but GameFreak. And FireEmblem was only the second FireEmblem game on the Switch.

With Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and who knows what (please, Nintendo, we need a Direct soon) else coming this year. I have strong faith Nintendo will be on top this year as well.

And yeah, I really didn't like Three Houses. And I'm already further in Engage than I ever got in that game.

@dil_power Three Houses is a great game but I don't know if I'd recomend it as someone's first FE since it does a lot things differently. I'd say Engage is probably the better alternative if what you want is the best iteration of the core Fire Emblem experience.

Granted, Three Houses is also a great game, so I'd say watch some reviews on both to get some different perspectives and see which appeal to you more.

@Broosh I've skipped the last three FE games (I can't be the only one). They really need to move on at this point.

I also feel like people are confused when the sales are based on physical copies sold. Fire Emblem Engage is still #1 on the EShop which seems like the digital side is having the most impact for the game. Digital purchases have started to become even more popular today with games finding better numbers in digital markets.

@StAmbrosius "Wokeness"? That seems like a weird critique to make.

I do agree with the other things you mentioned, although I don't think they're necessarily the reason for the drop on the UK charts. Engage's drop is pretty standard for a new game. That said, I really wish they would stop making DLC season passes so expensive. An extra 50% of the game's AAA price tends to be too costly for the content (especially when some of that content won't come out for at least a year).

@StAmbrosius “wokeness?” Can you give an example?

@Ryu_Niiyama don't feed the troll. He's dog-whistling his racism.

I bought mine digitally using the two for £84 vouchers, and I bet a lot of other people have done the same or just bought it digitally on its own as the eshop was offer bonus gold coins.

So just because its dropped in the physical charts that doesn't mean its sold bad overall. I fully believe engage will outsell Three Houses within the year.

@ElRoberico I see. Yeah I didn't see anything woke about it and have not heard anything about that from people I know. And what do you mean non-white? I can clearly see white characters. Even thought it doesn't matter

@StAmbrosius And you think those are...bad things?

@Shiro28 basically whenever people say something's "woke," it's because they've taken something that is traditionally full of white men and made it more diverse to reflect what society actually is. In this case, having characters who are black. Having queer-coded characters. Using gender-neutral pronouns. Having same-sex couples. Trans characters. People who say things are "woke" are only saying it for that reason. Apparently, this makes FE:E "woke," even if there are a handful of minority characters.

Wonder how much the middling word of mouth on the game had an impact on that.

Like to be honest I loved Awakening and Three Houses, I have more good than bad to say about Fates, but I'm finding Engage an utter chore to get through. It's just so hard to care about its nothing cast and nothing story.

@PerishSong
What did he say?

@BaldBelper78 slowly raises hand

Wondering when Monolithsoft will be given the Fire Emblem IP to develop an ARPG epic.

It's possible they could scrap their in-house high fantasy IP and rework it into a Fire Emblem game.

@ElRoberico I think that's how society is now thanks to this "race war" going on. POC have been a part of Fire Emblem. Probably not all of them but I remember that character from Path of Radiance. And males dress as women or feminine men as well. This character pro-nouns are probably inserted by the translators because they love to do that, my guess anyway. Well , I'm just glad is "woke" per se. I'll buy it eventually when I'm done my other games

EDIT: Meant to say NOT "woke" per se

@Ulysses
I'm willing to bet Monolith Soft is already working with the FE devs on their games since they have their hand in most of Nintendo's major projects. But expecting them to abandon the Xeno series to focus solely on Fire Emblem? That's just crazy. And blasphemous.
TL;DR: I REALLY hope you're joking.

I am amazed that MK8 is STILL in the top 10. I think at this point, there are more copies out there than people on the planet earth.

@DDFawfulGuy Basically cited examples of "wokeness" in the game as being use of gender-neutral pronouns, same sex marriage, an increase in platonic relationships in the western release, and a tendency for "the church/patriarchy" to be villains.

Which seemed like an odd list of "negatives" to me. The first two felt like inclusive positives, if anything.

It’s always interesting when people use woke incorrectly ie catch all term “for this offends me/how dare the world not conform to my worldview” ah well. I will say for good or ill Engage is more of a successor to the 3DS games than 3H was. So YMMV. And I get it. The more story heavy FE before 3H didn’t always sale well. (And for some 3H was a palette cleanser after fates) Critical acclaim is worthless against low sales. And I’d wager IS didn’t expect 3H to sell as well as it did.

FE Engage is not a main/Marquee FE title. It's a calendar gap filler game. Not to say it's not a good game but it is what it is.

@Herna It's still pretty niche by modern standards. Nowadays hundreds of millions if not billions of people play video games, a couple million sales is very much niche.

@Bizzyb It absolutely is a main FE game, at least when it comes to the effort they put into it. Gap filler in what sense? It isn't something they churned out quickly to pad releases. Sure, it is an anniversary celebration so it's a little different and pays homage to prior titles, but it's totally a full release.

@Switch_Pro lower budgeted, lower scoped than something like Three Houses.
It's something to have to play on the system while everyone waits for Zelda.

It's a good game, a great game in many rights, but still a filler game.

While i do enjoy engage, it is a huge step down from 3H. I absolutely loved the freedom, and customization in that game. Also the character interaction is outstanding in 3H. Engage is honestly lazy with its characters, and i would be fine if the story was good, but its generic.

Id honestly still recommend Engage, but just for long time FE fans.

People still paying for FIFA 2016 is insane. I'd say my faith in humanity is lost due to stupidity, but that was gone ages ago.

@ElRoberico That rumor is getting old.

Not shocking,
FE is the kinda series where 80% of anyone that will buy it will do so week one, its still niche when compared to Nintendo's more evergreen series.

@PerishSong
Oh. Well at least he didn't mention race like some people thought he meant.
That is weird though. Things like the church or some guy in power being the villain is a JRPG staple. In fact it's part of what makes games like Bravely Default and Three Houses more refreshing (although that's a matter of perspective sometimes).
Things like same-sex marriage have been in FE before too.
And I guess genderless pronouns are fine when the character in question literally has no gender, which isn't impossible in a fantasy series like FE.
There being more platonic endings in the localisation is a legitimate complaint I've been hearing on Twitter a lot, but that's more a NoA problem than a wokeness problem.
I was curious about what he considered to be woke, but I guess he was just trolling after all.
"Well at least he's not racist."

Are people going to ignore that there are a bunch of underage characters who probably shouldn't be in anything but a platonic thing with Alear? How is that a localization complaint?

@DDFawfulGuy I also think the gender-less pronouns are probably to make things easier for the localization team. That'd be a lot to do to basically have two transcripts where the difference is he/she. Same with voice acting, even if I think the NOA team needs better voice acting directors.

@RaphaBoss it leaked when Engage did. Of course it's old. Nintendo wouldn't have a reason to announce it any time soon.

Unless the main DLC expansion is the remake?

@Spookles You're dreaming if you believe Nintendo should "lose" Pokémon - the highest grossing franchise in the world.

Well, the end of last year was too crazy for most of us, our backlog is now HUGE, and in a few weeks Octopath Traveler 2 is coming...
I really want to get this game, I think I'll enjoy it a lot, but it'll have to wait a little longer.

@ElRoberico
You're not entirely wrong, but Alear is 17. In the same sense that Link is also "17" because he was asleep for 100 years and hasn't aged physically or mentally since.
So making a ton of platonic endings for characters around Alear's age in the localisation is an odd choice. And apparently they can have romantic endings with people much older than them. Not sure what they'd be 'underage' for, but I'm pretty sure teens being in a relationship or even getting engaged is legal.

Ah, so the genderless pronouns were for Alear? Yeah, makes sense. In Three Houses everyone just calls you Professor and your dad calls you 'kid' so I had a feeling it was due to limitations or something. It's not woke, but still bad though. Characters will say that you're a man or a woman or handsome etc. in certain dialogue, and in Fates you'd explicitly be called a prince or princess and he or she there so it does come across as laziness when they can't do it for the Switch titles, though I'm not sure who's at fault. And yeah, FE could certainly do with better voice directors. Three Houses is decent, but Fates had some really bad takes and from what I've seen of Engage I'd say it needed way better voice actors and direction in a lot of areas.

@rvcolem1 because it's a fun, solid, Masterpiece.
This isn't ea nor 2k where we need garbage every year. Nintendo just released new tracks for crying out loud. Why waste money and time on another one???

Sadly great gameplay wasn't enough to make this game soar, which get to an extent. FE has lately built the series on its characters and stories. To have such an engaging aspect toned down mustve been a turn off, especially to people who already had their fill on 3H

@Bizzyb It might have lower budget than Three Houses, but we have no way of knowing that. Either way, that doesn't make it filler, it very much is a proper sequel. I thought Three Houses had too much content, if anything, actually. I only played one route and that took me dozens of hours. Also, this game plays way better than Three Houses despite the smaller scope imo. I would prefer this format going forward.

@boxyguy Even if it had the best story in the universe (ok, slight exaggeration), it wouldn't sell like hotcakes. This is very much as much as a strategy RPG can realistically sell.

I’m not surprised by FE’s drop. Despite the popularity of its last few installments it’s still the sort that the primary fans get immediately and then it dies off. Especially with word of mouth on this one being less characterization, which means fewer people drawn in for home building aspect.

I expect Ragnarok will continue to be strong as PS5s are becoming more and more readily available. I wasn’t interested in Forspoken but still tried the demo with some hope and eh, it just couldn’t pull it together. Bummer but it happens. I look forward to FFXVI.

I never understand why this is "news", less do I understand, people coming to the comment section, saying they like three houses better, or this or that, like sales has anything to do with a quality of a game, like a games sells better depending on how good it is, how flawless the mechanics are, this is preposterous, you'll hardly ever find anything good or of value on a top sales chart, that belongs to sports and car sims and licensed games based on cartoons and movies... Fire Emblem engage is truly a "hardcore" game, not for the masses, it still blows my mind awakening did good and the franchise didn't die, its very complicated and hard chess we're talking about here people, off course you shouldn't judge it for the top sales chart, who cares about sales numbers anyway...

@NintendoEternity I wasn’t being negative I just find it very impressive. Plus I’ve been trying the 1082.5 new tracks they are releasing haha

@Shiro28 Just googled it was easy enough to find. The character Rosado looks like a girl but is actually a boy.

That's kinda what happens when you go from characters so well written you feel like you should be able to just check in on how they're doing occasionally....to characters who make hentai performers seem low key and undramatic.

What if the next Fire Emblem game is a waifu simulator with no combat 😄

Good, Fire Emblem is so oversaturated. It gets the same release schedule as Mario, Zelda, or Pokemon but sells like Metroid. Give Fire Emblem a rest, clearly not enough people care about Fire Emblem to justify it being a yearly (or at least near-yearly) IP.

It is bizarre and a little bittersweet to see how many releases a franchise as enjoyable but perennially niche as Fire Emblem has seen in the past ten years, and I like Fire Emblem.

Donkey Kong is set to feature in the first Nintendo animated film of its kind not long from now, and the last Donkey Kong title was released nearly one decade ago. Soon-to-be two mainline Legend of Zelda console games with full development cycles have been released in the time since the last first-party StarFox title, which released in handicapped form via a crippling hardware/gameplay gimmick on a console with less than 14M in lifetime hardware sales as of December 2019 (meaning it was played by very few and liked by fewer). Even many longtime Fire Emblem fans seem to have taken an indifferent view of the latest game in the series.

A re-balance of the first and second party development cycles is long over-due.

@Arawn93 “Too anime” from my point of view is the idea that anime is drawing from nothing else other than…well…anime. Look back at older anime (especially the 90’s and below) and see they had more variety of styles & influences. Yes, they had trends & tropes too, yet Anime back then wasn’t afraid to have to go in either a “wacky” or “gritty” look, depending on the story. Sharper edges, thicker lines, variety of body types and bizarre looking characters that could be considered important (it was at least more frequent than today). Basically, there was more variety - more experimental.

Engage, like many other mainstream shows & games in Japan are adopting the “moe” aesthetic for everything. This wouldn’t be so bad if it wasn’t everywhere lately. Same faces, same body types, unnecessary “fan service” shots that feel highly forced as if to engage our attention spans and an art style that feels waay too polished and clean - overly saturated colours. To sum it up, it all feels highly inbred - it has the look & feel of a typical Isakei. That’s what I think of when I say it’s “too anime” - it’s just looks so inbred.

We have the same problem in the west too, as it feels like everything wants to be Adventure Time in North America, everything wants to be Sword Art Online in Japan.

Well, opinions have been pretty split on this entry so I am not surprised that it's at least somewhat struggling saleswise.
I hope it sells enough for Nintendo to keep going with the series.

@Kogorn733 the people buying it didn't know that, did they, so to predict chart performance on your opinion of the gam might be a bit opportunistic..

for me personally i like this return to form, I just want to play some battles, already played more engage than i did houses..

@Thief I never said they should lose it. I’d just like to see them put some focus on some of the older franchises that have been dead in the water. Having Intelligent Systems only work on fire emblem games is also disappointing. What about a new advance wars (not the remake by WayForward, but a proper new entry in the series) or something new entirely? Or force them at gunpoint to make a really good paper Mario game.

Like someone else mentioned, F-Zero. There’s a game that needs to be brought back.

@Broosh It did give me a chuckle.

Well deserved because Engage is one of the worst FE tittel I’ve played.

@rvcolem1 I know, I'm just saying..

@MetalMan Ah, that makes sense. Thanks

@DDFawfulGuy Wait a second, I never said Monolithsoft should drop everything else and focus solely on FE. But they do contain multiple teams that all work on different things, so instead of a spinoff or some other project, one of the B teams could work on an ARPG for one of Nintendo's other fantasy IP, like FE.

Or, imagine Monolith making a Star Fox game that resembles Xenoblade X. Palette swap the Xenoblade mechs and ships for Star Fox, and you've got yourself an amazing Star Fox ARPG.

One of Monolith's teams could literally take any of Nintendo's franchises and make an amazing spinoff from that brand. I'm sad to see that they still haven't done anything like this yet.

@Ulysses Then what's this "in-house high fantasy IP" that Monolith is apparently working on that you want them to "scrap" if not Xenoblade? Monolith helps on a lot of titles but I don't think they've focused on their own IPs other than the Xenoblade series for quite some time now.
I know Monolith Soft helps with a lot of Nintendo games, but I think it'd take more than those teams to make a whole game. If they had that much personel to spare then perhaps they would make a spin-off, probably of their own series before doing other IPs.
I mean, everyone's entitled to their own opinion, and maybe Monolith could make some great RPG spin-offs of otherwise, but personally I think it'd be in bad taste. Especially if they're just reskinning previous games. It's clear from poorly optimised games like ACNH that some of Nintendo's divisions need Monolith Soft's expertise in world design and they were lucky enough to have Nintendo's full support in creating their own JRPGs in their vision with a massive budget and dev time which let to major titles with tons of content like XC2 and XC3. To take away some of the time, talent and money for spin-offs of other titles would be insulting. And trying to make a spin-off with staff that were working on other Nintendo games might work, or lead to something sub-par whilst other Nintendo games suffer. It just wouldn't be worth it.
At least that's what I think. If they could continue focusing on the Xeno series like they always have whilst making a quality spin-off RPG of their own IP or one of Nintendo's then I'd love that too. God knows Mario & Luigi needs a comeback. And the fact that Zelda still hasn't gotten a RPG spin-off is criminal.

@DDFawfulGuy I said they could scrap it, not that I wanted them to. Information is extremely flimsy about it, but someone once claimed that it was scrapped a few years ago already. Assuming this was true, I was only saying they could retool that work into another project, like FE.

With that said, I personally am holding out hope that Monolithsoft is still working on that high fantasy IP, and will reveal it within a year or two. It's supposed to be an ARPG, real-time combat, online co-op, and most importantly, it was supposed to have Xenoblade X's flying mechanic, except with dragons instead of mechs! It sounds amazing, and I really hope they still are making it.

@Switch_Pro 😂 sales and reviews would say otherwise but hey, if that's your opinion and makes you happy then great for you. 👍

This is a transition year. It will be the year of filler games, bottom of the barrel ports and Zelda (and a few good AAs). The sooner you guys accept it the better

@Herna Doesn't matter. They can't buy the DLC without buying the base game, and the base games are only selling 2-4 million. That's much closer to Metroid (1-3 million) than the likes of Mario, Zelda, Pokemon, etc. (which all have games that have sold 10+ million). The Metroid comparison is accurate until we get a Fire Emblem game that sells in the 5-10 million range.

The reviews really messed up the game. They placed so much expectation that the game was supposed to be 50% Persona that they basically gave a 5 or a 7 to one of the best tactical rpgs of the last decade just because it wasn't a waifu simulator. You know there is some bias when a game without much story or social sim in Mario Rabbids is scoring higher from the same outlets. It's obvious that these are purely protest votes. As a reviewer, you're supposed to review the game based on the goals the developers were trying to deliver and not what you would have made in their place. It's not like they were trying to make Three Houses again and failed - they deliberately chose not to and focus most of their attention on gameplay. In this, they 100% succeeded.

I don't like it when fans are happy with a game but casual journalists get so much influence over the direction of the series. Journalists are not that important to gamers and haven't been for years now. If you're a fan of the series, do you really care what these journalists think? I know I don't. The last good journalists to work in the field were people like Greg Kasavin or Jeff Gerstmann back in the early 2000's. Now most of them are ex-Hollywood actors that didn't make it and have extreme leftwing agendas. I frankly don't care what they think. I pray to god that Nintendo and Intelligent Systems doesn't either.

@Shiro28 I have beaten Engage twice. There is nothing woke in it. It has dark-skinned people who live in a hot desert - not exactly what I would call unrealistic, unexplainable or forced. Seems modeled after Eqypt sort of.

It has a small number of masculine female characters and feminine male characters - something the series has had now for ages before wokeness was even a thing. In past games, feminine males were Lucius, Libra, Forest, and now Rosado. Lucius goes back to 2003. Rosado is actually a likeable character - not seeing any fan hate at all. They don't talk about being persecuted or anything. People just accept him. It's wholesome. Probably the way such characters should be represented in media to be honest.

Nothing in the game is political. There is no anti-male or anti-white messages. No race politics. There is no left-wing gender or identity agendas of any kind. Nothing of the sort. Buy with confidence.

@egervari Thanks man. I have no issues with male characters looking and acting feminine and vice-versa, specially with Fire Emblem tittles, they are not strangers when it comes to that. Getting it after I beat GOD, Bayo3 and SMT5, catching up to my backlog a step at a time
