My first fire emblem and I'm happy to say I throughly enjoyed it.
This game is pretty good! I loved the gameplay, I liked the lore, character designs, voice acting was top notch, and the interactions between characters, however there is one huge drawback that kind of ruined the experience.
The story. It sucks. Its awful. It's bad. I liked some elements of it but overall it's cringe, messy, and just bad. Feels like a anime that went straight dvd and they stole the story off it. I feel if the story was stronger and the narrative this could be one of the best JRPGS ever. The gameplay is already so solid, so addictive and fun, so having that story merge in would be so nice. Sometimes the characters interact on the battlefield which is really cool. And some of the fights are so awesome. It actually feels like a war.
I liked how the characters from the old games came back, and they are kinda treated as legends so that was really cool, and the interactions with our modern characters were nice.
I loved how classes have different looks and you can build your characters the way you want, although it sucks you can't actually choose what they wear. I also think the weapon system and upgrade was good, however it felt a little limited and the weapons felt generic.
The graphics and performance are very good, one of the best looking switch games.
It was also disappointing how dragons are basically non-existent, you don't even use one or turn into one, the final boss is kinda a dragon so that was cool.
I really liked the social aspects, I wish they went more into them because you never really connect with any character, and this leads back to the story being weak of course.
The side quests or aka paralouges were alright, nothing special but adds more things to do and people to fight.
The arena mode was sick LOL. Seeing characters 1v1 and some close fights that are intense was awesome. They should make a fighting game. The somniel is not a bad addition, it could have felt more homie though.
But overall a fun experience, I wouldn't buy it at full price because the story is super bad or recommend it at full price but if you're looking to get into the series I feel this was a good introduction. Definitely a sale game.
