Pretty good game.
Went WAAAAY beyond my initial expectations for it. Really broke that "it's just a silly musou spin-off" barrier at its best moments. The 3H cast is still excelent with some characters I'd argue being utilized even better in this game while others go into fresh and exciting new directions.
It's a bit too lenghty for my taste since I'd prefer a game with this kind of simple gameplay to aim for a shorter runtime but it was not obnoxious or anything and New Game + will def make the next routes shorter and more chill
Played Azure Gleam, honestly backfired to go with the Lions this time since from what I think about this route and what I hear of the others it seems to be the weakest one lmao. Wasn't bad at all tho just had a good amount of narrative gripes here and there so I ended up thinking the main plotline was far less interesting than the smaller character conflicts that stuff like the paralogues and supports explored. So yeah just like Three Houses the characters elevate a faulty script, some things don't change.
Some rapidfire things I liked: Shez and Arval are fucking awesome holy I cannot go back to a version of Fodlán without Shez bro they actually elevate this shit so hard, one of the most fun MCs in the series. Byleth being voiced is such music to my ears, all the characters that weren't playable in Houses like Rodrigue and Jeralt were also fun as hell to see, I barely even scratched the Eagles route but I love Monica, music was fire, the elements of base management from Three Houses returning was nice and well done
Plan to do Edelgard and Claude routes in due time (ain't trynna do a whole other 40h musou campaign rn lmao), pretty sure the score is going up once I add those to the full picture
