​

With the latest entry to the Fire Emblem series, Fortune's Weave, set to launch in September, Nintendo have today announced a new Nintendo Direct to put it soundly in the spotlight. Featuring 20 minutes of new information about the game, it'll hopefully get people suitably excited for the upcoming release.

The Direct is set to go live at 3pm tomorrow, and will be available via the usual channels. If you're wanting a direct link, you can find the UK stream linked above, and the US stream linked as the source below.

Yep, and to be fair not every Fire Emblem game is a banger, but people choose to hate something before even being able to judge it on its own merits. With no nuance and for no reason.

I couldn't really get in to Engage. The story pacing felt so off.

Oh the story is ass. It's a fanservice game to celebrate an anniversary. Peak gameplay, Fates-tier story. I genuinely feel bad for people who had it as their first title, as much as I love it lol

Fire Emblem is definitely among those Nintendo franchises I'm the least interested in so I couldn't care less.

It's not very clear to be fair. Given the format of using the goddess powers to travel back in time to change the fate of the heroes though, it wouldn't make sense for you to have played as them beforehand. In my mind the game starts with the downfall, and you go back in time through each route to bolster forces as you choose (or avoid this entirely, which is an interesting choice in itself).

I guess we'll find out on release heh. Still, very interesting to see more in the Three Houses world.

Engage's story was... fun fer what it was. I love it fer the gameplay though, the Engage mechanic was interesting!

The thing that always bothered me was the opening scene was akin to Awakening, but... said opening scene doesn't happen at all during the game. That definitely felt very out of place IMO.

Looks really solid. I get the franchise decided to go in a slightly different direction from what it was in the first decade of this century, not even mentioning what it was even before, but regardless of that change of style, I still find these game to be really enjoyable and making them more accessible also contributes to bring in more people into the franchise.

It's a game I very much describe as Fates 2. Some series high gameplay, but some series low storytelling.

I know Switch 1 is EoL, but this is another game that could've been cross gen. Wasn't a fan of the last game, so I might skip this one. Three Houses was great though.

I think Fates was better than Engage, IMO.
Because Engage just didnt have much story wise goin' fer it.. But Fates tried. It just was over ambition, having to try to make/sell 3 games worth of content lol.
