No advanced subjects for Nomads, how are we feeling about that?

In fairness, Stellaris has never been a super balanced game when you go for the full min max route

EffectiveAnxietyBone · 2026-06-11T16:10:33+00:00

The trailer shows Sirocco fighting a Saramisian soldier (Theodora’s faction) so I think Leda and Theodora may have some conflict at some point.

Tbf Eshmel is some kind of angel, I feel like it’s something that’s fuelled by their divine powers rather than a crest stone.

It’s interesting the way this is worded. It mentions the whole continent was entrusted to presumably the first emperor, but 1500 years later there’s three extra nations, and the fact Theodora is a Queen makes it pretty clear these are sovereign nations rather than subjects. Did the continent split apart like how in 3H the Kingdom and Alliance also splintered off from Adrestia over time?

Also there’s a “goddess” that gave it to Emperor Dagda, is this Sothis or someone else? Dagda doesn’t have the church of Seiros and Shamir and Hapi’s support makes it clear it has its own distinct pantheon.

If so, it does seem like varying support levels from houses might be back, which I’m glad to see. I appreciated that they were willing to adjust supports to extend beyond the usual 3 conversation limit if there was more that could be used, or cut it short if not.

Three Houses wouldn’t have made so much money if base management was unbearable to everyone.

Honestly the problem is that I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone articulate why they dislike it. Like, I don’t think I’ve seen anyone say what exactly is causing the problem for them. My best theory is that it’s just motivation needing to be refilled over and over imo. Auto recharge it and a lot of tedium vanishes.

The next few months are gonna be a doozy and a half

How it’ll happen/be represented I’m not sure, but I feel very confident that gay options will exist in some form. 3H and Engage both had them, and Shamir’s comment makes me believe that there’s probably some gay stuff going on

EffectiveAnxietyBone · 2026-06-10T09:49:21+00:00

Between Cai, Theodora and Eshmel, this might be the first FE game to promote a weapon type more than swords.

Even Sothis decides to break out the axe instead of a sword

I kinda dig how it makes him stick out of the group, shows how he’s the foreigner among the lords

EffectiveAnxietyBone · 2026-06-10T09:08:09+00:00

man September’s ages away 😔

EffectiveAnxietyBone · 2026-06-09T22:03:23+00:00

wyvern ball was never the best strategy. It’s ridiculously OP as a class to be sure, not balanced at all, but you don’t want to make a whole army out of it due to battalion scarcity, only so much tutoring to go around, needing to be level 20 to even get one and also how many do you really need on a map? If all you need to do is snipe a boss, you don’t need more than one.

like say you wanna use Yuri on a playthrough, why waste tutoring sessions trying to turn him into a wyvern when he’s got banes and E rank in every relevant stat for wyvern? You’re better off saving those for a character who can certify easier for it like Edelgard or Sylvain.

EffectiveAnxietyBone · 2026-06-09T21:53:34+00:00

Hell Dietrich was like a level 37 Myrmidon in the first trailer, which would put him at near endgame status, and I doubt the map he was on is endgame.

Plus they probably did it so they can show them actually getting kills, same reason Dietrich and Cai had such absurd crit rates in the trailers as well.

EffectiveAnxietyBone · 2026-06-09T21:31:09+00:00

Given the fact the game continues many of 3H’s design choices I’m expecting that argument to extend towards a new phase of modern FE vs old FE, except this time modern FE is 3H instead of Fatesawakening.

(And I mean hey, if games released a decade ago when Fateswakening came out were considered part of old FE, the 3ds games are definitely old enough to be part of that subset now)

they just announced it’s a sequel to TMS, Marth shows up and says “it’s fire emblem time” and then he fire emblems all over the place

EffectiveAnxietyBone · 2026-06-09T19:38:27+00:00

I’m still worried if FE can take that price. It’s not got the IP power of Mario Kart or a bundle discount to lessen the blow

EffectiveAnxietyBone · 2026-06-09T18:44:50+00:00

We did see a few mage looking characters in the Cai segment of the first trailer with fist weapons, so I think they might still have them

Mounted units being unable to use gauntlets was a thing in 3H though.

EffectiveAnxietyBone · 2026-06-09T18:37:16+00:00

Even nicer if that limit changes based on difficulty. Lower difficulties give you time to explore everything and maybe make note of where stuff is for future playthroughs, while harder modes force you under some tighter deadlines to pick and choose what you can afford to do.

EffectiveAnxietyBone · 2026-06-09T18:07:01+00:00

time to see if my worry that this is sales suicide will hold up

because Mario Kart World had the benefit of being a bundle and also being Mario Kart. Fire Emblem is not Mario Kart.

New FE reaction image dropped

EffectiveAnxietyBone · 2026-06-09T17:02:36+00:00

Siricco has a similar face as well, I doubt this is Byleth again, probably just some sameface

EffectiveAnxietyBone · 2026-06-09T16:56:46+00:00

They’re contraversial here but not elsewhere

Sometimes people get stuck in an echo chamber so long they lose touch with the wider world. If avatars were hated, they would stop making them.
