Here's hoping it doesn't play roulette on the videos. Thanks FireEmblemJP for the random delay.

So the Lamine house has 2 Hero's Relics.

According to FEH, Dietrich's sister is Elfrida, and Dietrich mistakens Mercedes for his sister, saying she reminds him of her .

Cai is talking to Donnel and Mozu here and Donnel is also supposed to be a teenager I think and Cai is 14/15. I think this is the first time Mozu's age has been discussed

Heroes also recently also alluded to Corrin's age in a similar fashion when talking to Byleth saying both their ages are similar in range confirming Corrin is a older teenager or young adult

Don't mind the 'Eat the Weeds' sticker. It was a bonus gift.

Nintendo Today (JP) and FireEmblemJP videos seem to be the same this time; the latter’s giving me upload issues so I’ve left it off this one.

This is only Hard mode, but I just love how much she can break the game. This evade crit goblin has easily become one of my favorite characters. Also I really like her character overall.

This is just my first playthrough of the game, but I wasn't expecting one of my all-time favorite characters in FE come from Engage, but here we are. Would definitely be tempted to do a solo Yunaka playthrough at some point haha.

I'd like to hear who your "meme units" or "bad units" are, speaking out of a general acceptance POV, but always just seem to be good or borderline run carries for you. Any game... any character. I just wanna hear people's different stories

(curtesy of u/WWWWWWRRRRRYYYYY/ for the links)

I'm so hype everything sounds so good ! I really love how every MC have a clear, disntinct leitmotiv and instruments across their personal soundtrack, while also sharing general structures.

It really feel like four different people walking the same path, and it give you a familiar feeling while still being plenty unique and gorgeous !

Upon hearing rumors of the Heroic Games, he traveled to Dagsion with his henchmen.
He possesses a cowardly nature, always targeting the weak first in battle.

JP Personal Skill description:

Zarcone shows no mercy even to weak opponents; when an enemy's HP drops below half, the "Cowardly" skill activates, increasing attack accuracy.

Goliath's character post says the following:

He is often cast as the villain in the arena

I get a very professional wrestling vibe from that, with storylines, heroes, villains, etc. and possibly predetermined results.

I’m a huge RPG fan, but somehow, in all those 40 years, I’ve never played a Fire Emblem game. After seeing all the great promotion for the upcoming Switch 2 game, I finally decided to give Fire Emblem a try on my Switch. I started with Engage.

I’m really enjoying the gameplay. The battles are fantastic, and the game really forces me to think carefully about my choices. My biggest problem, however, is the story. I find it so incredibly cringey and childish that I’m actually having a hard time enjoying the game. The sheer adoration of the awakened dragon is especially unbearable to me.

Is this something I’m going to find in all Fire Emblem games, or is it specifically an Engage thing? I'm not saying this is a bad game. But I find the story part real hard to go through.
