I was just not feeling this one. I didn't finish a map, even though the map is one of the better ones I've seen so far. This game just really drains me when I play it, it's dumb worthless plot and its dumb fire emblem meme jokes and its boring combat that has just too many critical hits in it just drains me of any joy I had been feeling before starting it. I'm probably just gonna give up on it soon.

This map was so awful. The left side of it was well designed, but the right side just had too many enemies that weren't staggered apart enough. Elias died from it. Which means he didn't die, he just got wounded, which decreased his hp by 4. Maren is now my highest level character, and i gave her the artifact that increases hit rate. She is now unstoppable.

Overall so far this game's plot reads like fe7 2, and not fe6 which is the actual fe7 2, but like that rom hack. I think it's called Elibian Nights or something like that. Just the most boring nothing story with the most boring nothing characters. You know people shit on Awakening and Fates characters for being one-note, but even at their worst they are better characters than anyone in this game.

This map was pretty bad. The ai was not doing its best work and the plot is supposed to be picking up with like three new points of intrigue but I couldn't even pretend to care about them if you had a gun to my head. The game is still horribly broken and Now Maren is an inquisitor or whatever and her power weapon has been upgraded 6 times out of probably 8. Its chapter 5, and I think this game has about the same number of chapters as your average fe game lul. Anyway this game still sucks and I kinda want to stop playing.

This map wasn't as good as the last one, but it was better than the first two. The ranger you get this chapter seems like a fun character at least. I like the ferret. This chapter ends with you getting 3 units instead of two, which is how the last three maps have worked, which was getting annoying and felt very awkwardly paced imo. Maren is still a beast and Irving died. Or, well, what this game has instead of units dying, which seems to be that their stats get permanently lowered. That's interesting, but his luck got lowered by one, which seems weird, but maybe that's just the penalty for your first defeated unit, idk. The weapon system still sucks. There really isn't any reason to diversify your upgrades, you'll just be diverting resources from making one of them super powerful. They aren't unique enough and the situations in the game aren't diverse enough to where you need your units to be versatile. Also I still don't know how the advantage/disadvantage system works in this game yet. I think it was explained to me but I forget every line of dialogue in this game the moment after it's read. It doesn't matter as the game is still super easy, which is certainly different from fire emblem, where the game starts off really hard and then gets easier as it goes along. I also got Lincoln to level 10 this chapter, and the 3 new characters you get at the end are all level 10 so I got to promote them, and I think I like the promotion system. That's yet to be fully seen, but I think it gives you some fun customization options at least. I still think that srpgs are past class systems at this point, but whatever.

Got access to the base this chapter and it helped out a lot. The game is horribly balanced and the support convos are just as bad as they are in most fire emblem games, but I pumped 80% of my resources into upgrading maren and having her one shot most enemies on the map was very funny. I can see liking this game by the end, but that godawful writing is really holding it back. The two main characters are literally just Eliwood and Hector, which is a problem bc Eliwood and Hector suck and aren't good characters. They just say "cool guy" lines at each other until the scene ends, they don't have that sort of fun energy or weird charisma a lot of fire emblem characters have. Some of the art looks great, some of it looks real bad, and the map design has been pretty meh so far.

I started playing this game a couple months ago bc i like fe and heard that the game was like a revival of fire emblem after fates and three houses happened and were really bad. I could only get past the first map bc this game is one of the worst pieces of shit I've ever played. Genuinely this is the most joyless experience I've had playing a game. Anyways, I've decided to take this game one chapter at a time and eventually get through all of it so I can write a big long review of it once I'm done. So I just finished the second chapter and it really isn't getting any better. This game is so bad, man
