I just cannot get over that hair colour...
But its nice to see a fire Emblem game actually putting some effort into combat animations, it's almost as a point I would say "oh your getting close to what's expected from a turn based game"
Which is much better than prior games, but Vs...
It's getting there...
But the story the draw normally anyway, cool trailer for that... but that hair man...
Damn I don't get some people hate on character design... Why is it "bad"? It doesn't look bad to me, just not great but far from bad.Awakening, Fates and Three Houses were all great, so I'm going to have faith in this one. Even though if my first impressions with it aren't good. I really love the Fire Emblem series, and it's one of my favorite Srpgs. That said, I've been playing Tactics Ogre Reborn and it's making me realize how much I appreciated Srpgs that aren't very anime in their tone. The world needs Matsuno again.
Someone really should've told whoever designed that MC's hair to please stop.
Have you played Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance before? I personally don't think Fire Emblem used to be super anime until Awakening came and changed all that. PoR in particular had the best story in the series. It was mostly a grounded war story with competing interests amongst its cast.Awakening, Fates and Three Houses were all great, so I'm going to have faith in this one.

Here's the trailer in jap for those like me that can't stand anime with english dub:
I'm not native english speaker, so anime + english is a definitive NO from me, no concessions, I just won't enjoy it, it sounds bad to me no matter how good or bad it is... I've said this before, but I'll skip any masterpiece GOTG japanese anime game if my only option was to play it with english dub and won't regret the littlest.Anime with a great english dub are just harder to come by, and tend to be inferior to the japanese original, but I'm more than happy when a good English dub comes by. I love playing Xenoblade 1 and 3 in English. Xenoblade 2, I'm more on your side for that one. For Fire Emblem Engage, our English dub is just plain mediocre. The bad writing doesn't help either. The japanese trailer you posted definately sounds much better, natural, energized, and convincing.
It's the next mainline Fire Emblem SRPG in the series. So a "continuation of the series." Older Fire Emblem heroes appear in the game as spirits, or Emblems rather, that assist the main cast (which I think is stupid, but whatever).What a coincidence, I just spent the last few days playing Three Houses on my PC/Deck combo.
I've been collecting waifus like fucking Pokemons.
Still not sure what this is supposed to be, by the way, and the trailer doesn't tell much aside from some anime shit.
Is this a continuation of the series or another spin-off brawler like Three Hopes?
Just curious, but what's your native tongue?I'm not native english speaker, so anime + english is a definitive NO from me, no concessions, I just won't enjoy it, it sounds bad to me no matter how good or bad it is...

Maybe if I was from US or UK I couldn't care that much but it just feels wrong to me, like watching game of thrones or whatever with korean dub...
Latinamerican spanish, dubs in here are pretty high quality in general but even then I refuse to watch One Piece Red Film dubbed (have watched it in japanese for more than a decade now and dub is literally new here for that anime), anything else I'll watch in jap too but some things I can enjoy local dub like in Zelda BOTW.Just curious, but what's your native tongue?

You don't need to be "practical" all the time (whatever that means, they dye their hair just because they like it, leave it at it), something can have a lot of personality just for the sake of style.It's impractical and distracting. I'm sure there's a story reason why his hair is like that, but that doesn't change the fact it looks ridiculous. Some things are just visually repulsive and bothersome to look at. Fire Emblem used to be more serious in tone. That's not to say the last three games were bad, they were great, but fans have been concerned about the shift in tone to more lighthearted and anime, and Engage seems to be the culmination of that. Visually speaking they've officially crossed the line into full blown weeb territory. The main character looks like he should be wielding a Keyblade in some shitty Kingdom Hearts spinoff.

Now, you and some don't like that style, that's the only problem you have with the game, not that the games have something "bad" or are doing something "wrong" with their art style, a lot of us like them a lot... Hell, if anything, the switch in art style is something that has made the franchise be more profitable and survive.
Well, you pretty much have your answer inside the question.I really don't understand why they colored the MC's hair like the Switch joy-cons
I hate the art style of this game so much. It just looks so trashy to me. I miss the art style this series had for the GBA/GameCube/Wii games.
Yes that's the official artwork of the female main character and you can choose between her and the male one in the trailer.Is that the main character? can you choose the gender?

You get it.I demand a Hakos Baels crossover!
What about people who go permadeath but they restart the chapter when someone dies or use the obligatory Mila's Turnwheel/Divine pulse/Whatever it will be in this game?
2nd for me. That SMT game I still can’t get over the hair.This might be the first time a character's hair single-handedly keeps me from buying a game.

After Triangle Strategy, permadeath just seems archaic and actively detrimental to good game design. The battle difficulty should be balanced around death, but it's not.What about people who go permadeath but they restart the chapter when someone dies or use the obligatory Mila's Turnwheel/Divine pulse/Whatever it will be in this game?
For me it depends on the character, if it's someone like this dude then i throw him to the wolves and let him get killed without a second thoughtThey're a special kind of masochist.
I think it's meant to capitalize on the success of the mobile game. Especially the part about summoning heroes from past games.It looks like it may be more aimed at a younger demographic? In game the color palette seems brighter with thicker outlines help the characters pop more. The characters in the trailer also seemed more one dimensional. Overly optimistic/good or cartoonishly evil.
The last few entries at-least hid the big bad/demon lord characters until the end. Making villains more relatable and understanding the conflicts between houses or countries made things feel more grounded. This seems pretty cut and dry good vs evil which while not a bad thing, feels like a step back...
Nah, the character design is too stupid. My guess is you'll hit a road block and decide to be blue hair protagonist or red hair antagonist at some point in the game after some major reveal keeping with the themes of the last few entries.
Valid. Had no idea there even was a mobile game.I think it's meant to capitalize on the success of the mobile game. Especially the part about summoning heroes from past games.
