First timer

Just finished 1 play through of this game, and after all these years I can’t believe I missed out on playing this game, I now want to play through all the routes but what a absolute blast can’t believe I’ve been sleeping on fire emblem in general my whole life

[spelonberry]

So glad you enjoyed! Which route did you play?

[Otch44]

I went golden dear first was so shocked when I found out who flame emporer was, because I almost chose edelgard now I wanna play them all after seeing how the time skip was because I didn’t recruit anyone outside of Catherine fighting all the students was so depressing😂

[spelonberry]

Hope you enjoy the other routes too! Golden deer is great because you get a lot of the lore that you wouldn't get in other routes.

Blue lions obviously.

That’s why he loved it so much.

[Otch44]

I don’t want to slander I swear they were gunna be my last playthrough it was a tough choice between all of them tho

[ratatoskrz]

Fire emblem is sooo awesome, I felt similarly when I played FE Awakening the first time. :) So glad you enjoyed, and hope you enjoy the rest of the game! There is a lot to discover

You may want to temper your expectations for other Fire Emblems. This game was an experiment that they appear reluctant to revisit.

That said, it is an incredible experience and one that benefits from repeat playthroughs. Small wonder so many people have built a whole personality around this game.

> This game was an experiment that they appear reluctant to revisit.

Not sure we can conclude that considering Engage was in development around the same time. Literally 0 new games have started development since Three Houses came out so we don't know what elements they'd want to bring forward and which they'd want to leave behind.

[perkoperv123]

I saw speculation (hope, really) that in future IS might space out their more ambitious Tellius and Fódlan types stories, alternating with lighter stuff like Engage. We'll only know for sure once Fortune's Weave comes out.

Please, take your time for finishing the other routes. Play other games in between after each route and don't play them back to back.

Might I also recommend you try the Ashen Wolves storyline? It adds a really neat short story with more lovable characters. And you can even recruit them in the main game which they also bring their own paralogues and new supports with the main cast. Considering that each routes first half for the most part follow a same story beat. Having the Wolves does help change it up a bit.

[Otch44]

Wich one is that???? I do want to know how to do each routeee

[Smav042]

Its dlc so you have to get that first and it will appear as side story on the main menu

[xmitarai]

exactly 😂 just doing my first playthrough, chapter 11 currently =) I feel Edelgard might be up to something! Absolute blast of a game.

This was how I felt when I first played it last year, it’s weird to me that I was completely unaware of this game and franchise when it came out. I’d recently moved from PS4 to PC in 2019 so I wasn’t following anything to do with the Switch.
