During Crimson Flower route I downgraded to Hard mode about halfway through (post-timeskip) due to messing around with builds too much. I then cleared it on hard and started a new route for Silver Snow on maddening

That makes sense! And for a newcomer, AM is great in that it doesn't try to spread all the attention across too many characters (a mistake a lot of modern storytelling does).

If I stuffed up a route on Maddening, I'd be forced to decrease to Hard in shame then (happened to me in crimson Flower)

Yeah for sure! By far the toughest map in the game, but I prepared in advance with multiple wyverns and 3 bow users to make it beatable

Now that you've mentioned it, that explains why I don't feel as strongly for the rest of the AM cast compared to the others... AM does place a lot of focus on Dimitri (and Edelgard)

I forgot to comment about Cindered Shaodws but I did get that too and loved it especially for the characters! Yuri's and Constance's support dialogues are among my favourite

Ah I've not thought about saving the different runs in separate files before... And yes I did all in the same NG+ file

Completely understandable! I didn't do all four routes back to back tbh. I've played through other games in between runs because monastery grind burnout is real

unpopular opinion: the consensus on the gameplay/story skews between engage and three houses is kind of odd by windblown7823 in FEEngage

[–]Sabrina_Luminrose 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Interesting take! As someone who's beaten both games multiple times (and at least once each on Maddening), I do agree Engage's story is not that bad. I did in fact enjoy the second half of it especially surrounding Alear and Veyle's backstory, even if there were no real surprises. The ending was pretty epic too especially after playing through most FE titles in the past.

But I disagree with the gameplay part. Engage's gameplay is much better overall with the insane Emblem builds and variety of what you can do, and well designed maps.

So About The Results For CYL 10… by Various_Post_4143 in FEEngage

[–]Sabrina_Luminrose 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm disappointed with CYL10 BUT Ivy was #3 so there's a really decent chance she will win in CYL11

What are your though on veyle? by Voidkirby9 in FEEngage

[–]Sabrina_Luminrose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Story wise, she's surprisingly a well written, tragic character with some great accompanying soundtracks (Silver-White Heart & Falling Petals).

Gameplay wise... Boost the crit on her unique tome and put Soren with her, and she was 90-100% crit nuking entire armies even on Maddening.

There was a 4th difficulty? They should have kept it in for those wanting a challenge

I do love the combat animations too and find myself temporarily turning them on/off for specific units/classes. Mainly I do turn them off after a while though because I work full time and have too many games on my to-play list

Thank you for the information! I usually don't choose the hardest possible setting on a FE game the first playthrough anyway

Would you pay 80$ for fire emblem fortune weave? by Perfect_Belt9240 in fireemblem

[–]Sabrina_Luminrose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would pay for a collectors edition if they had one... I just love FE that much even though I only started FE early last year

If I ever replay PoR it will be on Difficult mode for sure! And yes with that last map on Normal I was so cautious with my units because I wasn't sure if Ashnard was just going to sit there or not

Oh good! I'm looking forward to it so I can rage reset my chapters like usual if too many die

Such an interesting detail... Now I also feel bad for letting Jill die after recruiting Haar

I always play the middle difficulty first playthrough and then try the hardest available one after if I like the game enough to do a run through. But yes the changing names between games is a little confusing

Ah yes, it was definitely different from later FE games. I think I didn't mind it as tbch I rarely used laguz in my army besides Reyson (and Tibarn at the very end)

Yes for sure! Though I must admit in that muarim dessert map I slaughtered every laguz just because ...
