Lame, why no equalGUYS
Seems to imply there are multiple male options, even though it was true that females get more. But you can flirt with anyone? ashkfgashfgkacb
Yeah, it's unfortunate, but as the article said, having representation at all puts it above most games of this ilk, and it definitely seems like there's been progress compared to fates
YES! We just need explicit confirmation Claude is bi now for the fanbase to melt down. (In a good way)
WE 👏 NEED 👏 MORE 👏 HOT 👏 TAN 👏 STUDS 👏 IN 👏 GAMES
i hope the game does a good join in explaining all 3 houses and inform us enough to make a decision
Can you confirm there are indeed multiple male options, even if there are fewer than female options?
I disagree, if you are going to put an effort do it right, no reason why there are more female choices than males when there are equal number of male and female characters, that coupled with the female mc seemed to be designed to appeal to straight male crowd makes me believe they have put more female bi characters so they can pick fbyleth and still marry their waifu of choice.Yeah, it's unfortunate, but as the article said, having representation at all puts it above most games of this ilk, and it definitely seems like there's been progress compared to fates
I can only speak about up to a certain part as per NDA, but it's looking hopeful that there are more LGBT+ choices this time around than there were in, say, Fates
NDAs and time limitations prevent me from disclosing too much information about how romances work out, but from my initial experiments it seems female main characters have more same-sex options than male ones. But, in terms of representation, we'll take it: gay and bisexual characters are distressingly rare in games (and games of Japanese origin, specifically) so the care Nintendo has taken to include and do justice to these romances is noteworthy – even if the most 'action' you get is in the form of some intense blushing at a tea ceremony.
That intro cutscene...
I mean, I knew the leaks said that the game would be darker than Awakening and Fates, but I didn't expect it to be this dark.
Thanks for making the thread. That opening cutscene is insanely brutal. Way more than expected.
Keep these positive impressions coming.
Sounds like Derrick isn't far, and he's generally on the slower side when it comes to FE, but hearing he's spent 20ish hours just on the school part is exciting and scary since we know it's like a third of the story.
The gameplay sounds phenomenal and I can't wait to dig into it. I hope they've balanced the reclassing well enough and it does sound like it so far.
Hope the opening cutscene is up soon, looks great!
GUYS

So is it definitely possible to jump into this without having any prior knowledge of the series?

Romance after time skip, no kidsDo we know if this game will even have marriage? There's no kids and past Fire Emblem games have had S supports without them ending in marriage in-game. Usually the marriage would be in the ending credits or something.
I mean, I'd be shocked if there wasn't some kind of way to declare a "relationship", but I actually don't *know* if there's marriage at all.
Fire Emblem games are largely standalone, the only real exception is radiant dawn being a direct sequel to PoR and maybe Thracia (Haven't played it, but I do know it takes place during the middle of Genealogy with some of the same characters). Some FE games do take place in different parts of the same world (Gaiden/Echoes takes place on a different continent at around the same time as FE1/3, and Genealogy and Thracia are on yet another continent in that same world I believe), and in Awakening's case it takes place in the far future from the first FE game's world, but even then, most nods are pretty small.So is it definitely possible to jump into this without having any prior knowledge of the series?
Oh yeah, forgot about FE 6 and 7, but Given that 7 is a prequel to 6 (Roy's game) I'd argue even those can be played as standaloneYes! Most FE games are completely separate from the others. Save for some rare exceptions (Marth's, Roy's and Ike's games)
They've done much Darker before.The opening has me a bit concerned tbh. Really hope they don't go too dark with this game, I don't think the series has ever done dark moments well. Or if they do go dark it's handled better then the rest of the series.
