It feels really great to be excited about a Fire Emblem game again!
I know, I'm beating a dead horse here, but... Back in 2022/2023, I was honestly pretty disappointed when FE Engage was announced, because it wasn’t the direction I wanted to see Fire Emblem take after Three Houses. For all the flaws you guys should be aware of by this point, I had fun with Engage, but I also found it underwhelming, and I was worried about the future of Fire Emblem and whether the series was still something for me. If you love Engage, that’s great! More power to you!
Fortune's Weave, on the other hand, feels much more like the direction I want the series to go in - with a focus on characters you actually want to learn more about, strong world-building focus, grounded character designs, and a small touch of dark fantasy. All the theories and speculations I've seen here in this sub make me even more excited.
I’d still be excited if the game were completely standalone, but the fact that the game even builds upon the rich world-building and lore of Three Houses makes it even better! It feels like the game wants to reward me for playing all of Three Houses/Hopes.
I’m absolutely going to be there on Day 1! <3
Are you guys excited as well? :)
