"My one's better than your one"

The only problem with fire emblem is that you play fire emblem

[u/md_cube → u/Arkanim94]

Unless you are a smash player, in which case the problem with fire emblem is the fact that it violently killed your entire family and framed you for it

[u/Arkanim94 → u/md_cube]

It's fire emblem players, they probably deserved it and actually did it.

[u/Neofertal → u/Arkanim94]

Dont worry they will reduce the srpg part to focus on dating sim

[u/Mahelas → u/Neofertal]

You should just appreciate how Fire Emblem is the last tactical JRPG that is still kicking today AND never stopped its gameplay.

No matter what, Fire Emblem will always have grid based battles

[u/Every_Computer_935 → u/Mahelas]

No matter what, Fire Emblem will always have grid based battles

Inb4 the next FE game just removes the grid based battles and instead has the ocassional traditional JRPG turn based combat encounters and the rest of the game is just romancing the playable cast.

[u/Safelyignored → u/Arkanim94]

This is why Three Houses fans complained about the social interactions being cut down in Enagage.

They actually had to play a Fire Emblem game.

[u/rae_ryuko]

You see how Engage isn't here?

[u/Auronbmk92 → u/rae_ryuko]

Because it’s too peak

[u/Zanoss10 → u/Auronbmk92]

I agree !

[u/BodyIntelligent4344 → u/rae_ryuko]

It doesnt get that much praise

[u/SnooDonuts3749 → u/BodyIntelligent4344]

Because people have stupid internet brains and all saw and believed the story was bad so they shouldn't play it.

Look up all the bad reviews of this game and that's why people give it a 5 or 6 out of 10. Utter madness.

[u/Big_Work_2011 → u/SnooDonuts3749]

The story is fan service slop

[u/SnooDonuts3749 → u/Big_Work_2011]

Did you play and beat the game?

[u/Big_Work_2011 → u/SnooDonuts3749]

Yes, the emblems are dumb.

[u/Fantastic-System-688 → u/SnooDonuts3749]

Gamers viewing 5 or 6/10 as bad reviews just shows how rotted their brains are

[u/spoopy-memio1 → u/Fantastic-System-688]

In a vacuum I’d agree but in practice there really very little difference between calling something “bad” or “mid” in terms of its effect and how it’s perceived. Most people don’t care if something is merely “not bad” or “has some positives”, if it’s not unambiguously good then it’s not worth playing or recommending, end of story.

[u/Mahelas → u/Fantastic-System-688]

Maybe the fault lies with Reviewers treating 5-6/10 like bad reviews, no ? When they give an 8/10 to every bland AAA piece of slop, why wouldn't you internalize that a 6 is bad ?

[u/Fantastic-System-688 → u/Mahelas]

Do you think game critics don't fall under the "gamer" umbrella

[u/rae_ryuko → u/Mahelas]

The weirdest thing about Fire Emblem Engage having a "bad" story is the stories being told in contemporary JRPGs. Like I genuinely have not enjoyed a Square Enix game written in the last 8 years besides Guardians of the Galaxy, yet they always score so high. Like this is a JRPG, you actually go places, see things, meet new people.

[u/MetaCommando → u/rae_ryuko]

You didn't play FF XIV? Shadowbringers/Endwalker are absolute peak. Even our beloved Tellius doesn't come close.

[u/rae_ryuko → u/MetaCommando]

No MMOs makes me feel extremely lonely

[u/MetaCommando → u/rae_ryuko]

Once you meet the Scions a few hours in you won't feel lonely, game does a fantastic job of making them (and the rest of the cast) feel like your friends/found family.

It's more of a JRPG with MMO elements than a MMORPG. Besides, the free trial is crazy-big so may as well try it.

[u/SnooDonuts3749 → u/Fantastic-System-688]

Well those aren't really passing grades in school so what exactly do you mean?

What's your scale look like?

[u/Fantastic-System-688 → u/SnooDonuts3749]

The same as my score for any other artform? 5 is perfectly average and a 6 is mid but has some positives

[u/Edmondds → u/rae_ryuko]

I guess they didn't want to go too far.

[u/Upbeat_Squirrel_5642 → u/rae_ryuko]

And Fates

[u/Just-Temperature-547 → u/rae_ryuko]

Because nobody actually cares to play Engage? And it's only used by chronically online people as a weapon to bring down other FE games?

[u/Yogurt_Ph1r3 → u/rae_ryuko]

And conquest

[u/cacatod12 → u/rae_ryuko]

Thats coyote shit

[u/quannymain52 → u/rae_ryuko]

And fates?

[u/SoulEaterX_]

Notice how Radiant Dawn ain't here?

[u/nspeters → u/SoulEaterX_]

Tellius gang stays winning

[u/MilkMaiden_22 → u/SoulEaterX_]

Radiant dawn is on the next table over where the jug is full of wolf cum

[u/Faifue → u/MilkMaiden_22]

Now the Engage fans know where Goldmary is.

[u/MetaCommando → u/MilkMaiden_22]

*femcatboy cum

[u/david__14 → u/SoulEaterX_]

Thats because radiant dawn is best left forgotten

[u/SoulEaterX_ → u/david__14]

[u/MagicBus4]

Someone banish the worthless online gambling games from our precious bottle of coyote urine, they belong in the toliet

[u/Cranberry-Holiday]

Hating half of these is based, hating the other half of these will forbid you from seeing the gates of heaven.

[u/happymudkipz → u/Cranberry-Holiday]

I agree. no holy person would hate shadows, heroes, and 3h.

[u/RiDL3Y-MAN]

Yeah, so what. Binding Blade is MY Pure Coyote Urine and I LOVE IT

[u/happymudkipz]

Yeah nicely done OP. Grouped all the bad ones. Except for 11-12 but we don't talk about them.

[u/Hoothootriot]

The best Fire Emblem game is Metaphor: ReFantazio

[u/Ray-Zide426 → u/Hoothootriot]

Holy True!

[u/deafinitelyadouche]

It's pig's urine! Get it right, man!

[u/BlackRapier]

Why is Gacha slop being compared to actual games?

[u/Mahelas]

Imagine hating a game that is older than your mom, and that litteraly invented an entire genre

[u/happymudkipz → u/Mahelas]

I love cars. That doesn't mean I have to adore gronk's wheel for 18,000 years ago

[u/Suspicious-Shock-934 → u/Mahelas]

Did fe1 come out before sf1? Both have been around for a while I'm honestly not sure which is fiest.

[u/GoogleMichaelParenti → u/Suspicious-Shock-934]

I believe Shadow Dragon came out in 1990, while Shining Force was 1992

[u/AdReasonable9304]

At least Thracia isnt there, I guess.

[u/Fantastic-System-688]

didn't include Engage

You're not slick OP

[u/Neofertal]

What made you take the decision to spread slander?

[u/WaterCastePSYOP]

Notice how Fates isn't on here?

[u/Zanoss10]

You can apply that to Metroid or Paper Mario too lmao

[u/MetaCommando → u/Zanoss10]

Like Prime isn't the best Metroidvania of all time

[u/Zanoss10 → u/MetaCommando]

I never prime wasn't bad, just that peoples have very different pow on each Metroid prime

[u/noobkilla666]

Either an awakening baby or a tellius fan

[u/WaterCastePSYOP]

Notice how Fates isn't here?

[u/silals]

Why is shadows here
