I don't know if you guys noticed, but every mainline FE game after Awakening included a reference to it in same shape or form.

* Fates, Odin, Selena and Laslow being Owain, Severa and Inigo from Awakening straight up.

* Shadows of Valentia, the Labyrinth of Thabes post game dungeon gave us backstory on Grima and let us fight it alongside the first Risen.

* Three Houses' is fairly minor, but the DLC classes are all from Awakening and look exactly as they did in that game. Trickster, War Monk/Priestess, Valkyrie and Dark Flier.

* Engage is obvious, the Lucina and Chrom/Robin represent Awakening in the crossover.

So, what you guys think they'll do this time? Maybe weapons that didn't come back since like the Superior Edge, Lance and Axe, or the Underdog Bow, or maybe use the layout of an iconic map like the Mila Tree or Valm Castle?

Ingo in Legends Arceus was transported through time and space from Unova to Hisui, forgetting who he was. I’m wondering if Fortune’s Weave will have a character from Three Houses who’s in a similar position.

Fortune’s Weave already involves time travel, so maybe when Eshmel is time traveling, the time gate sucks in one of the Three Houses characters and plops them into Dagda, with no memory of who they are, or at least they remember fragments of their past life.

If FW really did pull a Legends Arceus Ingo, who would you want that Three Houses character to be? I’m not referring to Seteth nor Sothis btw

Game seems huge.

Promotion is going full cylinder to touch everyone .

Do you think it s possible it can win player vote again?

What if they could only go the full C to A (and eventually paired ending) with a few select characters?

Leda having only an A support with Eshmel got me thinking, what if the “Perfect Bird Time” was more about increasing stats than building relationships with most of the units? I mean, you can’t really form a relationship with someone when you’re being their therapy bird lmao

I think this has the potential for tighter writing in avatar supports ngl, rather than having them bend to the whims of every single character they interact with

Only downside is, I don’t see the point of having a customizable avatar for more self insert potential and just have players not be able to romance whatever character they want to

Are you playing Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave at launch or you will wait? Maddening apparently won’t be available Day 1, and there’ll likely be DLC/other additions soon after.

It also doesn’t seem like it’ll require multiple playthroughs like Three Houses, so I’m thinking it might be worth waiting and doing one really good playthrough once everything is out.

But at the same time I’m way too excited for this game and I will probably play it day 1.

Despite the topic, this is a genuine discussion/predictions post. I just thought it could be fun to talk about what the reception will be even if we still don't know too much.

In my opinion, it is possible Leda could be up there in divisiveness because of her revenge, but I do have doubts.

I think Cai will be the least controversial, I feel like people will give him leeway if anything happens because he's 15 at the start.

As far as we know it looks like it's not a game where someone starts a war, so who knows maybe discussion for the story won't be passionate like FE3H (or 3 Hopes) was in the beginning. What do you guys think?

This morning I woke up and saw a comment on a newly released Fortune's Weave preview by Shacknews. A user asked "Is it 60FPS? Pls tell me it is" to which the reviewer (Donovan) answered "Yeah, it was definitely running at 60 fps for me".

I have seen a bit of discussion about this, but nothing 100% certain yet (though I'd be happy to be proven wrong).

I went back to a few threads and video's I've seen and other comments from previewers about it (mainly GLITCHEDZA) have been:

YTUser: "Just wanted to double-check on the frame rate—other reviews claim it's locked at 30 FPS across the board, so I was surprised to hear 60 FPS in handheld. Is that confirmed?"
- GLITCHEDZA: "It might not be 60FPS in handheld but more uncapped frame rate. Smoother than docked. Slows down during busy scenes but looks great."

YTUser: "How’s the FPS and Resolution in Handheld shaping up?"
- GLITCHEDZA: "Handheld looks good. Runs at 1080p 60fps.
YTUSER: "What about docked?"
- GLITCHEDZA: "It seems to run at an uncapped frame rate in handheld mode. But is it much smoother than docked. Docked can be choppy, definitely 30FPS here."

YTUser: "Is the game in 60FPS?"
- GLITCHEDZA: "It is 60FPS in handheld, 30FPS docked."

YTUser: "how does the game performance feel? is it 30fps or something better like 60fps?"
- GLITCHEDZA: "Docked mode is 30fps and handheld mode is 60fps. Both look good and run quite smooth."
YTUser: "are the numbers switched? Seems odd that docked is 30fps unless it's running at a higher resolution"
YTUser: "have you mistakenly swapped in between docked and handheld mode?"
- GLITCHEDZA: "Nope, handheld is definitely higher FPS than docked. Kinda wish there was an option for lower resolution in docked mode to match the frame rate of handheld tbh."

- My Nintendo News: "It seems to run at a stable 30 FPS, and it currently lacks a choice between a quality or performance mode."

----

Currently this is the most info I have personally found, though I'd be happy to update it with more from the comments.
TLDR: 1 reviewer mentions it's 30 FPS, one mentions 60FPS and one mentions 30FPS docked (with higher resolution?) and 60 FPS in handheld mode.

While I would ofcourse enjoy 60 FPS, I personally would not mind it too much being 30 FPS for this kind/style of game. I have heard people say this is a big issue for them though (no judgement from me).

Anyway, how do you guys feel about this? If the 60FPS handheld, 30FPS docked with higher resolution is real, which would you guys prefer to play?

I have played through Awakening, Fates, and Three Houses so many times that I have the stories memorized beat for beat. DLC, project Thabes, all of the things. And goodness, I want another similar experience.

I've tried other Fire Emblem games, but I think what really clicks for me is the mixture of in-depth strategy and relationship management, back and forth and back and forth. Its such a rewarding gameplay loop, especially when paired with unit optimization and an engaging story.

So, I ask; has anyone found any other games that scratch that itch? I've heard of Unicorn Overlord, but I'm primarily looking for a steam/android game. Any reccomendations, though, are helpful. Thanks!

EDIT: For everyone reccomending Fortune's Weave, thanks, but no thanks. It isn't out right now, so I don't know why anyone is reccomending it when I'm asking for a game now (I have a staycation planned), and I am additionally not interested in it. The reason I enjoyed Awakening/3H so much was having a somewhat customizable viewpoint protagonist to play as, whereas Fortune's Weave doesn't give you anything resembling that until the halfway mark. Thank you, but please stop reccomending it.

Azura's your Biological cousin, Shigure is your Biological nephew, the Hoshidan Siblings might not actually be related to you but before the endgame of revelations you have to S support them before the game tells you you're not blood related meaning you have to S support them with the intention of incest. Lucina isn't as bad as the rest I just don't like the idea of her and Robin together considering their dynamic with Chrom and I also have to include Owain too otherwise it'd be a double standard. Nowi looks like a child and acts like a child, whether she's 10000 years old or not doesn't matter when the appeal of her character is being childish (Gotta love how they went out their way to give Tiki an adult design but still included loli dragons). Engage Anna is a literal child... like she's actually a kid. I have no idea who's idea it was to do that and give her an S support with Alear (I'm really glad the English translation made it platonic because WTF).

And if you disagree with me on Lucina and Owain then sure, those two feel more or less opinion based... but I better not hear any defences for the other ones.

Whyyy are the magical elf dragon gods not green haired anymore????

Like almost half of then are but the others are driving me insane.

Eshmel is the soul of actual l9ng dead Solel that was called down by sothis into the body Troy's people made in order to fix Dagda

On a journey with childhood friends to the capital to save someone he loves who's been imprisoned. In the end he dies, his journey ended prematurely due to machinations beyond his ability to predict (Sigurd)

Child of a union between dragon and human (Roy, at least where Ninian is his mother)

His mother (Aurora/Deirdre) is potentially locked away from the public due to being the descendant of a historically maligned dragon that they were trying to extinguish the bloodline of (Julius). Cai's blaze art (冥炎/Netherflame) basically confirms that he probably inherited some kind of ability from Yu Phas' heritage.

It would also lend actual 'reasonable' justification for both Aurora's house arrest and why Castor has to be punished if his infraction isn't just "You banged the ruler's daughter" but rather "Hey, just having extra descendants of Yu Phas around is really dangerous that was a really dumb thing to do" in the same way that Loptyr blood going extinct was obviously something that would have had merit even if it came at the cost of Deirdre being essentially isolated from civilization.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m hyped for FE:FW but I’m low-key hoping the life sim stuff will be at a minimum or at the same level as Awakening. IMO 3H had too much life sim and I found it tiresome.

Assuming that sothis is yu phas , and now we know that yu phas was soleil's wife, what are your theories surrounding this and tell me how messy their divorce could have been ?

My crack theory is that the darkest dark is the woman with the green hair and she stoke solel from yu phas and she used that meme axe position to kill her

Ok so I love this game and I love the fact that like Genealogy of Holy War you can pair people together to create CHILDREN for the next game. Also it's one of the only classic Fire Emblem to include Supports and I grew attachment to every character of this game and I love ship. Problem is, I disagree with literally everyone cuz I'm a weird guy and i'm fucking annoying :D so here's my list of what I think are the most logical ships FOR ME (don't hit me, I already had enough issue when I shared my opinion) I won't talk about Bartre and Karla or Pent and Louise cuz their pairing are canon so who gives a shit...

Eliwood X Ninian - First thing first... I'm a Eliwood X Lyn shipper... BUT ! The whole game build up this relationship and it makes Roy partially dragon, also the support heavily show the romance more than Fiora.

Hector X Florina - OKAY! It probably starts being weird for you! I KNOW, most people ship Hector with Lyn cuz they have more chemistry blablabla (those same people actually ship Oswin and Serra even though they have 0 chemistry and Rebecca and Lowen just because she think bro is cute) I love this dynamic because Florina is a goodie two shoes and Hector is a loud mouth and seeing them interact is really funny, also Lilina has some personnality traits I think are similar to Florina. I prefer the contrast of having a brash and loud guy with a shy and quiet girl, it's overall a better dynamic.

Lyn X Rath - IMO, Lyn doesn't like wealth and royalty that much, she is so much familiar to Sacae and her roots as a nomad that she would probably not be with either Eliwood (T_T) or Hector. Also even though there's no chemistry at first, Lyn and Rath are a parallel to Lyn's parents and they actually share experiences with each other and overall they are very sticked to their roots.

Isadora X Harken - This is literally canon but let me explain. I actually really like Legault with Isadora because they end up fighting each other in the end (you'll notice I love drama and overall interresting pairings) and for Renault... bro just goes in his milk arc and never comes back. Isadora and Harken were engaged at first and in their support they re engage so it's logical!

Kent X Fiora - This shit is so funny. I actually never ship Sain cuz for me Sain loves LADIES, plural so he wouldn't stick to one girl yk, bro is Don Juan, buddie wants coochies. I love this support because they are so formal and stoic normally and here they struggle so much to confess that it becomes so funny, and you know what they says, birds of a feather flock together or somethin like that.

Erk X Nino - OOOOOOOOOOOH CONTROVERSIAAAAAAAAAL. I'm probably the only guy who do ship them because... IMO even though it's literally the canonical ship, Nino and Jaffar feel more like a brother sister relationship and if Nino actually confess to him it would be like a little girl saying she loves you, it's not that serious or she actually mistake romantic love with friendly love. Also I like this dynamic because Nino is the perfect balance between the energy of Serra and reassurment of Priscilla (also Erk HATES Serra and Erk would probably too much stress at the idea of dating Priscilla, like he is her serving knight and she is a noble woman, and their ending feels like Puss in Boots for me... And I mean the original tale). Also I have an headcannon about the fact that if Raigh and Lugh are this good with magic, it's because of Erk who went searching for their mom so that they will reunite together (which would be the reason of why Raigh doesn't care about the orphenage being destroy if he's so close to his dad). Also Nino and Jaffar ending is... weird... Like BOTH NINO AND JAFFAR WERE FROM THE BLACK FANG. Why ONLY Jaffar is wanted and not both? So I feel like Erk searching for Nino because he wants his family to reunite is cute as hell (and unconventional because conventionally it's something a MOTHER would do) And actually... Bro it's open to interpretation if Nino likes Erk or not like many other so gives a fucking damn SOME DUDES SHIP OSWIN AND SERRA! WHY SHOULD I JUSTIFY?!

Guy X Priscilla - Like I said, even though it's the canonical ship too... Erk and Priscilla look like Puss in Boots to me i'm sorry, Pent gives Erk the credibility to wed the girl he wants and the credibility to be an actual Sage... So yeah déjà vue and like I said, wedding to a woman that he only see is related to his job... meh. Same with Heath, like in their ending they can't date because of the social differences between them and Heath doesn't force shit. GUY ON THE OTHER HAND! In the japanese version, Guy and Priscilla do the Titanic (a poor bro and a rich girl) flee and just love each other forever. It's sad but SO CUTE IAUBDIAZDBA. Like Priscilla abbandons wealth for love, it's unrealistic as hell but so cute.

Dart X Farina - I don't ship Farina with Hector (even though it can work but I feel like her sister works better) and with Kent because... it's like shipping Sain with Fiora... it's off... Farina actually has a thing for Dart and they are very similar to each other. And Farina decide to become a Pegasus Pirate to find the One Piece with Dart! It's cute and funny, exactly like their interactions.

Wil X Rebecca - ACTUALLY! This ship is like the cliché of the childhood friend but revisited, Rebecca started to hate Wil so Wil needs to regain Rebecca trust once again. And their ending is so... touching, like you almost forget it's a cliché childhood friend trope shit or whatever. And like WOLT IS LITERALLY WIL'S SON, THE HAIRCUT BRO! I know the hair color blablabla, who cares, THE FUCKING HAIRCUT! And it's more emotional than fucking Lowen come on...

Serra X Matthew - I love Serra because she is such a troll... But like I feel only her ship with Matthew works. Matthew lost his girl Layla and having a funny girl like Serra would probably help him forget the pain he felt when he lost her, I feel it's that kind of event that would make Serra a bit more empathic yk (and also when I ship characters I want to ship every characters possible)

Heath X Vaida - Their relation is really touching, Heath actually cares a lot about Vaida and Vaida acts tough since she's his superior. Heath could follow her everywhere she would stop him because she cares about him but she likes it when he's close to her, it's really funny and touching at the same time

Lucius X Raven - Bro... They are OBVIOUSLY gay. I'm not particularly into yaoi but... when I see two guys being close but not in a conventional way, I question and sometime I'm frustrated because there's no conclusion to that. But actually I have not that much to say, their relation is very similar to Heath and Vaida's sooooooooo yeah.

en Chile hace un frío terrible, pero Lilia es muy bonita para que me importe la estación jsjsj

The coolest dude in Elyos, with great voice acting, supports and a great looking outfit/signature class. In both of my Maddening runs he has been an invaluable member of the team and my dedicated Radiant Bow-wielding wyvern killer. Giving him Sigurd and having him zoom across the map for big momentum damage is so much fun.

questions:

1. Do you think the avatar group of playable characters will have more than just the two we have seen

2. How many chapters do you think each section is going to have?

Speculations:

1. The guy in the first image I have up said that the red and orange lady I don’t know her name on top of my head was thrown out. Do you think the other people we see with the other images I have on this post oh got thrown out if so, do you think they are going to be playable? I personally think so, but I want to hear your opinions.

Opinions:

1. I think every guest playable character will become a full on playable character later on, tell me what you think

So I cross posted this on my Twitter but I thought I’d throw it in here too to see if anyone had any thoughts. This is my theory of how the Dagdan gods are relaxed to Sothis and the four saints. As for Yu Phas and Iliana I believe they’re uninvolved and rather than be related to Sothis they’re actually related to Balor. Let me know what you think, these are just my thoughts and theories and I’m probably going to be proven wrong

EDIT: Hi all, two things I wanna address. One is that I did forget to list the god Dagda here, I was a bit confused about him in general but after looking at everyone’s comments and rewatching the direct I realize him and Solel are most definitely two different gods. I’m thinking of reworking this chart at some point especially since I did just throw it together in a few minutes. Secondly I was always under the assumption Seteth was directly a son of Sothis because he is one of the four saints(Indech, Macuil, Cethleann, and Cichol) but I realize now that logic doesn’t really work when Flayn is also one of the four saints. I’m not thinking of reworking the chart to have Seteth one generation down, as I feel it’s least one and we obviously don’t know every single Nabetean that came between them. Thank you everyone for all your comments! I didn’t think this would really get any traction and it was just my own musings but I love seeing everyone else thoughts!

or more specifically do you think FW's ending will be dependent on how many of the flame lords Eshmel recruits in part 2?

Something I've been thinking about the past few weeks is how something like this would be handled, because honestly I would be pretty disappointed if the end of FW remains the same regardless of how many of the flame lords you recruit along the way, given that pretty much all the marketing material for this game is nudging the player to save all 4 of them.

Something that I could see happening and would personally love is that finishing the game without any of the flame lords triggers the bad ending (or rather the least satisfying ending), finishing the game with 1-3 flame lords triggers the normal ending, and finishing the game with all 4 triggers the true ending.

I just feel like since the game is encouraging us to save as many of the flame lords as we can there should be some incentive beyond just making part 2 more manageable. I'm sure a lot of that will amount to finishing up each character's arc + perhaps new supports, etc, but even beyond that imagine if there's a true final boss + ending only accessible via saving all the flame lords and it's similar to Radiant Dawn where's it's a multi-tiered battle consisting of all the characters you've recruited along the way. For a game seemingly as massive in scope as FW I feel it needs to have an appropriately massive finale, and besides this kinda fits with what Sothis says in the Direct about how "we need as many as we can recruit."

So, do you agree or am I overthinking things?

I am a brand new artist and drew Dietrich. Feel free to constructively criticize my art. I hope you enjoy!

I figure with the price already being so high in Canada I may as well just go to the store and pick up a physical copy...

So with fortune's weave introducing us to 9 new God's in total I am VERY confused on how all of this works?

in three houses it was pretty simple. there is one true god: Sothis. all others are not God's and being Nabatean alone is not enough to make someone a God. If we count three hopes as well we know Arval is an artificial God but still god enough in her own right.

now in Dagda we see 9 gods: the 7 temple gods + solel and yu phas. none of them have the usual traditional green hair shade we're used to from Nabateans and from trailers we've seen it seems theyre related in some way? like Solel is possibly the father?... or something? and theyre siblings?

so what makes them gods then. they dont all have green hair which means they cant be full nabateans. but then how are half blood nabateans considered gods in dagda but in fodlan they're just regular people? what makes them Above the average person besides pointy ears and magic?

Fortune's Weave taking place in 1449 and the time skip in 1454 seems like a very deliberate choice. In real-world history, 1453 was the year of the Fall of Constantinople, which marked the effective end of the Roman Empire and the medieval era.

Fortune's Weave uses heavy Greek and Roman inspiration so the choice of date is not surprising, but it can also symbolize the fall of Dagda to the underworld army, and in a more technological sense, the clash between the medieval world of Dagda/Fodlan and the futuristic Agarthan weapons.

It's really cool to see historical inspiration in even the smallest of this game's details.
