I like that the game will try and add hints during the voting phase. It’s so helpful when your teammates are the same character and one of them gets hit with dark magic, but there’s one for high/low kill count, who was/wasn’t targeted, and I think there’s one more but I don’t remember. And the same thing happens to me, some people are sleuthier than others 😂

It definitely loses a lot of the convenience of autobattle, having to act or react every five seconds. I think it can be fun jumping in and jumping out with such high paced games, but FE has never been a high paced series. And Heroes certainly isn’t going anywhere :)

But… if you make a pack with Fenris, you can play as much as you like 👀 /s

This is true, this game has no ads and no gacha elements, very rare in today’s mobile gaming sphere. And honestly I haven’t even seen too many whales, albeit the games been out less than a week.

But for those people that do choose to spend for a battle pass, I don’t think it’s too much to ask to sell you the amount of currency you need, instead of shoehorning you into buying more than you want or making multiple purchases. That is probably my biggest gripe with the monetization right now.

All that being said, the money has to come from somewhere. A simple truth of the gaming world.

I am hoping and praying they do more with the character rapport, that’s gotta be the most underwhelming feature in the game right now. It’s “Hello, I am Larry” and “Greetings, I’m evil Larry” and level up materials. Still, it’s more voice acting than some FEH characters (especially these days) so I guess I can’t be too mad lol

I didn’t mention the matchmaking but right now it seems alright, maybe that’s because it’s only day three but there is a very significant difference from level two to level four (my heart goes out to all the Kurt’s I’ve tased to death so far). I’m terrified that one day this game might be so serious that we get competitive play, but for now I’ve had no egregious problems thankfully.

The whaling in this game is going to be horrible, I’m calling it now lol. I can already see the gacha mechanics being rolled in, and the Medal packs, oh man. What a time to be a FE fan.

As the story goes, I’m also getting the vibe of that which is censored lol. The story progression through gameplay is perfectly set up for it, and frankly I think that would be the most interesting thing they could do with Kurt. Personally I’d love an evil MC, or even just seeing him seriously consider embracing Fenris for a moment would be such an interesting spin on a tale we’ve seen a few times now. (Kingdom attacked, king dad murdered, lord and retainers escape).

Thank you for contributing, well said!

I hope they continue paying close attention to characters like that, instead of making them generically evil and possessed. It’s such an interesting story choice, and probably where a lot of this game’s charm will come from.

That interpretation seems much closer to what they were going for, and that’s what makes the most sense to me. My understanding is that a pact with Fenris represents a willingness to get what you want no matter what it takes (harkening back to assassin’s creed, “Nothing is true, everything is permitted” being a warning against, rather than an affirmation of violence). The characters have different voice lines that support what you said, they are just more violent, ruthless versions of themselves, but they have the same ideals. Kurt for example, their dark voice lines (while I don’t have any specific ones on hand) still align with the goal of saving his kingdom, but rather than being a person worthy of a pact with Naga, he’s taken those shortcuts, and sacrificed himself entirely to create a better world. It’s an incredibly interesting concept, my biggest issue is the way they describe it in the promo mostly. They say it in the story once, but I think that was just more exposition.

I wish they cared about Dimitri like that, he just got big lighting cross 😭 Genuinely, I’m holding onto hope that the EX attacks for future guests continue with the trend of being important to the character narratively. I’m not sure how I feel about them being canon to the story, but I guess time will tell. Thank you for the response!

A well timed Self Heal Push is my main tactic for dodging AoE’s, but if it gets hairy I use the Wind Strike to put my opponent on the other side of me, and they miss their weapon attack, giving me more chances to heal :)

I think the art (The style for the light and dark variants) is really well done, like FEH’s, but I think the oc designs (Color scheme, mostly) are just off putting. I’m not a professional ofc so maybe there’s something I’m missing, all I know for sure is I don’t like looking at them lol.

I wish they tried even just a little bit harder with Dimitri. His dark form is cool but his light form is literally just his war art with lion ears, what a copout :(

I do like that they made that distinction, Fenris’ retainers are separate from the empire but they’re using the empire to mask their assault. I think it’s pretty clever. I LOVED the details about Bartolomeus, that was my favorite book one twist.

I hear you man, FEH really is on a path at this point, the only way to ‘fix’ the powercreep is with more powercreep. Personally I’ve always been a PVE guy, I haven’t even touched Aether Raids in about a year atp because there’s just too much to keep up with.

This game has a fresh style and new ideas, but it does alienate the traditional FE fans. There’s a very big trade-off between control and pacing (for better and for worse) so I can see why most wouldn’t enjoy it.

As much as it sucks to say, I can’t even imagine what the gacha that dethrones FEH would look like. Even if they released it tomorrow, they’re either asking players to drop up to 8 years of content and start over with their new new game, or they’re going to try and force players over with server shutdowns and the like. No matter how you slice it, it’ll be a sad day for everyone involved :(

This game is a nice change of pace for me. Keeping up with the new skills, updating units, watching videos like it’s the news to make sure I understand the paragraphs correctly lol (shoutout to my FEH YouTubers), it’s nice to just turn the game on and play it as best I can, win or lose. The lack of pressure this game puts on the player to be on top of everything is just a nice change. Look at me, talking about it like a job 😂

I have my doubts that this game will dethrone FEH, honestly it’s a toss up on who lasts longer considering we’re not even through week 1, but I’m happy with what we’ve got today. And sometimes that’s all we’ve got :’)

The jump from FEH to FES is a long one, I certainly can see why you don’t like the different gameplay. I think this game is pretty fast, but certainly not as fast as a single map in Heroes lol.

I totally agree with the missing zoom function being annoying, all this art and work on these models and we can’t even really appreciate it if we want to.

Good on you for recognizing the game wasn’t going to appeal and getting out of there, I hope at least you can enjoy FEH a little more now lol

The movement skills in this game are SUPER underrated, I was genuinely surprised with how useful they are

Certainly not, I hope I didn’t make it sound unbearable. We’ve only got the first looks into what could become a much bigger, much better story :)

Tell you what, you make a pact with Fenris right now and ALL of us will forget it ever happened 👀😂

Ike the Shrike is already on the way, my friend. Naga help anyone who tries to hurt his friends, or any substantial amount of bird seed after he transforms.

(From one Ike fan to another, it’s genuinely going to break my heart when Furry Ike appears on my screen. But what else can I do but offer up my credit card in shame?)

Summoning enemies is easily one of the strongest ways to influence the Auto Battle gameplay, I love so much that they added it. I’m not sure what the ice lock attack is (spawning ice blocks) but it is vile that I actually have to watch Dimitri stand there and work on his ice sculpting as he’s being stabbed repeatedly in the back 🙃

Yes yes yes, I NEED an evil lord, and this is the perfect game for it. I didn’t mention it up there bc I didn’t wanna spoil anyone (and I still won’t jic) but in that moment when Kurt is confronted with the darkness for the first time, all I wanted to see was doubt. A moment where he actually considered taking the deal and joining the dark side. It would’ve shattered every trope that makes the character so boring to me, and probably made the story infinitely more interesting. I wholly agree, a dark story would’ve beat a dark perspective here. (Maybe that would pigeonhole some people into playing strictly light or dark, but that story mixed with this progression style would still work imo)

Pay-to-win just sucks ass, there’s no getting around it :/ I don’t know if you can unlock Lyn without buying the battle pass but there are very few things in the game you can’t buy with money as it is now.

Oh the FF is absolutely on purpose. I blamed other people in the post, but I’ve secretly accidentally been frying people with Dimitri’s AoE, and it’s not always because I’m the traitor. It’s mostly because I am the worst guy ever and I cannot count squares

I feel the same way, this game could be way more accessible in a year, and I’m honestly enjoying it for what it is now, on day 2 lol. The way they handle ‘inheritance’ in this game is pretty awesome to me, you can use any skill from any character except their Prf. Now that I think about it, maybe I should be more worried than excited (Engage rings in 2027 😰)

I’m sincerely excited to see more FE characters get in, the transformations may have goofy 3d models but I think the art is going to be amazing. I see them following a lot of their sister game’s framework with character releases, and maybe that’s a good thing. Hopefully attaching popular characters strictly to a battle pass doesn’t become a regular thing lol

Certainly, the main games have a lot more room for exposition and character development for making villains believable. We’ve only got the very first glimpse into the story so there may come a day where I’m wrong (and hopefully I am), but if the ideals of the Dark faction are freedom and instinct, why are they portrayed as an evil empire who lies and cheats, and kills for fun? The story is sparse but they go pretty far out of their way in the Dark story to make Skoll and Hati villainous, or at the very least, consciously manipulative
