After I'm done with all characters Part 2, idk which I'm gonna hate more:
30 FPS in games
Or
Elephants.
Going into surface level details on my thoughts here.
And I will put it more politely here since some of you get hurt easily:
If you played on Normal, I don't need your opinion. I want people who only played on Hard.
In Part 1 you are limited in all Part 1 to about maybe 6 to 9 units in every story map. Not to mention Maps and Dungeons you're limited to 6. But in Part 2 you're allowed 15 or 16 units. Which it seems they want you to fill because the amount of enemies thrown your way is kinda crazy. Now it does provide you with units if you can't fill that 15 or 16 BUT we all know custom units you recruited and leveled are going to be waaaay better than units the game gives you.
So now we back to Part 1 recruitment requirements and there are some characters that require less requirements to recruit but you still need to go and recruit the higher ones when you get higher renown and then level them but by the time you get that you have 2 or 3 chapters to go and a certain number of turns....
I got more thoughts but this is just off the top of my head.
3 chapters into Part 2 and it kinda does feel like normal FE. Or at least to the one I can compare it to-- Fates Conquest. Mind you, im using Theodora, the first character I completed Part 1 with and she has the least recruited characters, lowest levels, lowest skill levels, lowest blessings. Don't think the game did a good enough job preparing for this (On hard). It does give you options to help with levels. And you can go back replay a Part 1 if needed.
All in all I am having a lot more fun here.
Finished Dietruch's Part 1. And with that all Part 1s are done after 125 hours 😤. I now go to war! Part 2.
I get we want to have turn based back in Final Fantasy but is this really a fair comparison?
Rebirth released on PS5 first.
I would say Revelation would be a better comparison but even then you gotta play two other games to play it...

#14 Beat for 2026, Fire Emblem Fortunes Weave (Switch 2) Did 2 out of 4 Flame Lords part 1 and still clocking in over 130 hours. I don’t think a Fire Emblem game needs all this content and life sim elements but I still had a blast majority of my time. May return for DLC one day..
So I'll say being 100 hours in... I have not felt those hours.
I think it's because the gameplay is fun and the loop that everyone is split on is kinda simple. There are times I can auto activity for like 30 turns left but I like to get my "hands dirty" so to speak and use them all to train or grind some levels a bit.
It also helps that all four have different enough stories along with different antagonists to keep me interested. All four routes im always like "who the freak is this new character?" So I think that goes a long way.
Still super curious how Part 2 and 3 are handled.
Also after 100 hours I haven't felt the need to turn off battle animations entirely. I just have them on for only my turn.
That's a shame.
Mass Effect...
Sometimes you just gotta be glad it existed.... Along with releasing in the time period that it did.

In this latest #NIKKE lore, I discuss the most intense chapters of the story thus far! youtu.be/m1WNgaXn_9E
I love PC gaming but issues do arise. But I'm always going to choose to game on PC primarily unless I have no choice (ie. GTA6, Fire Emblem)
And there's not a day that goes by that fear turning on my PC and my SSD and Harddrives are corrupt (could happen on console too I guess)
