My perception probably got skewed by all the coomers on this board, but I am genuinely shocked that male Byleth managed to win the canon designation.Alear is 100% the next male protag to get axed though, he immediately got mogged badly by FemAlear.

I wouldn't reduce everything thar's happening to "culture war bullshit", but I do agree with your sentiment.

Malear is already the canon choice.
He debuted officially first, is the gender for the manga and in heroes Malear is often seen with Lumera, Veyle and he holds Liberation whike Femlear is the designated punching girl.
On the flipside she seems to be paired with Ivy the most.

Wont happen because next game is Fodlan slop so it will have a dry art direction plus the stink people threw at Engage for not having static 2D art but I'd like them to try full on 3D again.
No joke modding in Engage makes it my favorite FE yet given how many OCs you can make.
I think its safe to say Engage will remain king in this regard.
Also some Engage stuff that should become standard:
>Classes have set weapon ranks. No more grinding weapon rank with a shitty bronze weapon upon class change.
>Repackage Corrin dragon vein mechanic into a class. Maybe more limited but we need a terrain alteration class.
>Surge come back so we can BTFO dodgefags.
>Bring back class types. Chain guard, chain attack, ignore tile boosts, etc.
>Waifus are actual waifus and not sluts who fuck the entire male army.

Matchmaking that matters.
Like at the end of a short part 1 (like 2 chapters) you decide the bride/groom of your Lord (your avatar is some kind of a matchmaker theocracy priest) and depending on what you chose a different conflict erupts.
>picked the red empire waifu? War of conquest
>generic peasant waif? You have no allies on the continents so other nations band together to invade you
>exotic barbarian island prince? War of succession among the groom's nieces to be adopted as heir
>revolutionary atheist country president, you have married Napoleon, good luck
>secret route: avatar picks the lord for himself and it goes all esoteric and shit

The last time there was a partner showcase direct, there was that first Kirby Air Ride direct like two weeks later.
So maybe then? Three Houses did get a dedicated back before it came out, and maybe they'll give Fortune's Weave the same treatment since it's a sequel/prequel.Otherwise we're gonna have to wait until the Summer direct.

>spoiler
No chance. The game got revealed in fucking September last year, following that up with 10-11 months of dead silence ain't how Nintendo operates. Game is probably coming out before that summer direct, so we're either getting a dedicated FE direct or they're just going to randomly shadowdrop another trailer and start with the pre-release cycle stuff like weekly character reveals.

Who's to say it's not fun to push a game to its limits and see how well you can beat it? The screeching about "optimal" play in these threads is so stupid. It's like people can't imagine extracting enjoyment out of a game beyond the question of if it can be beaten in the first place.
>>
>>732282054
I also do not understand the mindset of "different automatically equals fun". I can do lots of bad things that will make my playthrough "different" like reclassing Xander to a mage, but I don't see how that makes the game more fun to play.
>>
>>
>>732282540
The difference here is that you only play the game one way and never diverge you never discover new strategies or near combos (not that you have the ability ti di so to begin with) so its easy to see whos actually having fun and who isn’t. Doing the exact same moves every playthrough with little variance is objectively not fun, its just monotonous. This isn’t a puzzle game.

>>732280998
The newest Hyrule Warriors game was in the July partner direct last year, so it's possible. There's a higher chance of FW showing up if Koei is working on it, but we haven't seen anything that indicates that they are.

>>
>>732283134
Because the "new strategies" are clearly worse than Canter. Anyone can look at the inherit list and immediately pick it out as being pound for pound way more valuable than anything else there. It's fun to experiment in a game like Conquest because the optimal strategies are not as obviously apparent. In Engage, you need to try to create the problems other skills would solve.

>>732283306
This is actually a case were it created the complete opposite issue instead. With the relays, the central objective WAS indeed seeing if they could be beaten at all. Grinding chip EXP on 5 scrimblos for 2000 turns so they get max stats is pretty much the equivalent on turning on a GameShark to cap out all your units and completely undermines the premise of the run. There is a very good reason why a significant amount of people were calling it gay and lame by the end and chapters were it was done were usually not upheld.
>>
I don't "enjoy" moving 2 less on everybody each turn. There is nothing "fun" enough to make up for this glaring deficiency. Anti-Canter contrarians are just crypto-armorfags. If you like playing like a slow hard, then enjoy yourself I guess.

>>
>>

>>
>>
>>732284079
I just thought of it as making runs retard proof. Now, choosing to grind a scrimblo specifically is just favoritism on the part of a specific player, because those units suck ass even when you feed them resources, but giving people an 18/1 Lyn mode Sain is just meant to be guardrails, which don't work anyway because the greatest enemy of these runs is some faggot throwing a shitfit and "accidentally" leaving a lord with single digit hp in front of multiple enemies.

Every time, I guess that's the one constant no matter what era of FE we're talking about. If someone wants to use Nino, let them use Nino. If someone wants to put Canter on everyone, let them put Canter on everyone.

>>732284780
I suppose capping out Seth in chapter 3 so you can beat the whole game with him does technically count as "retard-proof". My point is it makes it not fun to actually play relays when your victory is pretty much secured and it's basically impossible to lose. At least a Jagen-centric strategy actually requires some execution and has potential for failure when a less-experienced player takes the save.

Farina isn't even a bad unit on her own and Crazed Beast just has way too many enemies so you oftentimes get a bunch of levels without even trying for it. I don't get this guy's year-long shitfit over the anon who kept training her up.

Does that mean 'play poorly on purpose but without any clear rules for your playthrough'? I think that's really boring and unsatisfying. Fire Emblem is a lot more fun when you try to find the best strategies to accomplish a task. So I recommend setting specific restrictions like ironman, the best in-game turn rank, no dlc, etc. and then making your best attempt to win.

The game is such a monkey’s paw, the art style is great but it leaned too much into Awakening/Fates Slop
Engage is yet another monkey’s paw with it having every protagonist but having a shitty art style.
But hey every franchise has its monkey’s paw moments. Sonic comes to mind.

I do challenges, but Engage challenges are boring because the meta is obvious and simplistic. The problem with Engage is as the other anon said - the good stuff is so much better than the bad stuff, and everyone can access it for cheap.
Imagine if you could buy Galeforce or Pursuit in their corresponding game for a reasonable price. The discussion would correctly be dominated by how much those skills mog other options. Then there'd be a coping dumbass saying shit like "What, you can't by with Swordfaire and Acrobat :3? You NEED to double? You NEED a second action? git gud"

That's the fun part, the meta is decided by cliques who insist that they are the best at this single player video game. Back in the day it was grindfags, then they got replaced by LTCfags and now it's efficiencyfags. If you wonder what qualifies as "efficiency", it's their specific criterias they made up for a unit being theoretically good without backing from gameplay.

Short answer is they wanted you to be able to buy it. It's a band-aid for the retarded movement they balanced the game around by default. They realized it sucks ass moving 5-6 each turn on regular size maps, and Canter is the affordable fix.

Engage maps are smaller on average so 4-6 movement is an acceptable pace unless you have adhd. Canter being permanent boots for everyone is part of the reason why so many maps can be effortlessly crossed on foot in like 3 turns.

They're really not, mostly 25 tiles+ which is pretty standard in modern games. It kills me how Engage can get away with absolute murder just because it's not 3H. Every stupid design decision is defended vociferously by fanboys, while said fanboys would skewer 3Shits for doing the same thing.

What makes it good? It's funny that people keep saying it balanced mounts when it didn't even do that. The best general-purpose combat class in the game is a cavalry class, Mage Knight, and fliers are still better pound for pound than infantry counterparts. There's exactly one physical infantry class even worth using just because it has monster stats and other strong traits, but guess what, most games have infantry classes that are good. Engage literally did nothing new or innovative in class design, it essentially lopped off the top-end to be more like the shitty phone game for no rhyme or reason or gain.

As you should be. He only got in by a lucky coin flip. As much as I like the male version, Female Byleth is the more popular choice outside this hivemind contrarian board. Three Houses is the rare gem where both genders feel like separate characters and are both favorable on different occasions, unlike Corrin. It should have been Female Byleth in Engage. The goddess dance was obviously reserved for her. It was most likely a pride thing as they didnt want their most popular and famous Fire Emblem to be represent by a female.

Those are fucking gimmicks, it didn't substantially change class dynamics for better OR worse. It just made the top-end bad for no reason. Armors still fucking BLOW, for all the gimmicks they stapled onto them. You still juggernaut with a tome class exactly like you did in the past few games.
It had some neat ideas regarding the emblems and boss design, but a lot of the player-side balance changes were just dumb as hell and accomplished nothing except making everybody feel worse to play.
If you want armors and shitters to be good, buff them - don't nerf everybody else.

I mean yes, it's full of gimmicks. If they had succeeded in making armors worth using, instead of introducing a gimmick system and turning it off for armors, then maybe armors would be good and we'd be praising Engage's balance changes.
As it stands, you just use Bonded Shield to turn it off on a tome cavalry and it's like you're back in Fates again.

Engage was on the right track with how to make armors good. Either introduce a mechanic they inherently beat (like Break) or increase HP and lower DEF across the board so having like 16 DEF actually means something (your Jagen should have like 8 and your scrubs should have 8 or less at that point).

>>
>>732289931
At the end of the day armors still have more advantages in engage compared to every other game they're in because at least they have an ability that no other unit type can have unlike in other games where they literally have nothing.
The bonded shield argument has been beaten to death but it's still a limited resource that requires a decent amount of set up. And that doesn't inherently make tome users juggernauts because the juggernauting ability comes from bonded shield itself, you can essentially do the same thing with a crit build.

What are the good gameplay points from 3Hs? Best I can think of are porting the postion skills from Heroes into mainline, batalions setting the groundwork for Emblem rings, and expanding the combat arts, but that's it. 3Hs meanwhile has bland boring maps that even has the audacity to recycle, dismount misses the point of how it was in the old games and makes fliers even more powerful, a lot of class progression and skill progression is tied with the monastery, all classes can use any physical weapon for some reason. Spells being infinite in general but finite per map I'm mixed on, it's a neat idea in theory, but it does mean you can warp spam more per map.
>>
>>
>>732291139
3H spells were a system i think could work with a bit more effort put into it. I kind of like the per map spell uses, although it does feel OP with stuff like warp.
Spell lists are bad, but i think they could fix them by making some way to teach spells to people who can't usually learn them so that you don't end up with mages who just fucking suck because they never learn a spell worth casting.

I don't see why tomes and staves should be reworked in the first place, how they already are in FE is an excellent implementation. In the case of staves, even Fates kept their mechanics pretty much intact from past appearances since they're so perfectly balanced by durability.

You say this like it's some small amount. In reality nothing is "effortless." Maps have ebb and flow. You can't move through shit like air, there are obstacles, terrain, dangerous enemies. Everyone being a piece of shit with armor knight movement is *felt*. That's why Canter is so essential in alleviating in getting the shit out of everyone's diaper.
My reference point here is like Conquest, which is blazing fast with pair up movement mechanics, Shelter, Lunge, early dancer, and normal-ass movement. Maps manage to feel big and open enough in that game, even though they're not much larger than Engage maps (if at all), and despite the ordinary movement stats.

As if support isn't important in Fates? Corrin wants support with units as much as possible for friendship reclasses or boosting other units' combat with Supportive. Through attack stance, Corrin can provide a huge +20 hit to literally any unit so long as they have at least a C support.

3H lets you trivialize movement with Warp, Rescue and Stride on top of movement tools like Shove etc.
Engage has Canter, 4 Tile Warp/Rescue, Reposition, a quad dance that can be used to make your main dancer act again etc.

Sure, I'm just wondering do we need the phone-game movement to go along with that? Obviously my viewpoint is losing out with FW continuing the trend of babydick movement, but I can't help but question this decision to Heroes-ify the mainline like they've been doing. Fates proved you can have insane movement power with normal movement ranges and maps are still not too small and trivial.
I guess my position on most things can be summed up as "Fates is a near mechanically perfect modern FE - this should be more like Fates."

Curious how Shadow Sigurd will break that game. Will he get turns twice as fast? Will he have a walking range of 5 instead of 3, but take those steps as fast as someone that moves 3, and thus make it harder to hit him? Will he give that buff to his allies in the Moon room?>Shadow Gullveig's potential buffs

Most likely Sigurd will just have an EX skill that raises Cav movement by 1 while raising their defense
