@CyberXilophone @TheRedVoyager @Wentelteefje06 @CursedCatTruffa ive found that this is a feeling that is very hard to explain to people who don’t inherently have it (i agree with you completely)
when a game is strategically solved it cheapens the difficulty of the obstacles even without actually using the optimal strategy

[ニョルンプ @Aro_op]

@pik3rob01 @fe_paint exactly! i think a sandboxy class system is good if the game really requires you to work for it

[ニョルンプ @Aro_op]

@Aionia_Official @marxeru @PlusMin03340269 @worst_egirl but you argued that they’re more distinct than any other fire emblem game

[ニョルンプ @Aro_op]

@ceracymmetry i think spiribirds are kind of a difficulty balancing mechanic, newer or less skilled players could take the detour, while players who don’t need it get to fight the monster sooner. trade time + boring effort for a slightly easier fight
kind of good design with this in mind imo

[ニョルンプ @Aro_op]

@trigger_crono @gaiaerith i agree that they are too vague about cait sith in general but it’s not a crazy assumption to come down to, reeve can’t inhabit him 24/7 and his little speech before the sacrifice is fully nonsensical without this fact

[ニョルンプ @Aro_op]

@trigger_crono @gaiaerith i also found it silly at first but i think the intended effect they were going for is that he’s an ai periodically controlled by reeve (reeve doesn’t have an accent)

in this moment the ai, who has realized his love for the party, is going against orders and self-sacrificing :’(

@Bitey0Gator @RobinPoedev that’s more of an issue with these players’ interpretation than the actual narrative though

[ニョルンプ @Aro_op]

@UltraSpicyBoi @olivecider776 fire emblem struggles with this so much tbh, they run out of narrative to justify actual gameplay levels so they just include some extra padding for the pure sake of more chapters (which i won’t fully complain about bc i love having chapters but it’s quite awkward sometimes)

@salkkop1994 @lunaromancia dude please please learn how to read

[ニョルンプ @Aro_op]

@RaiBread776 the take itself is fine but i don’t really understand what there is to single out about fates and engage fans here honestly, story-focused FE fans are equally willing to ignore gameplay flaws in favor of stronger world-building, narrative etc

[ニョルンプ @Aro_op]

@meli_sketch @nayuunii genuinely the number one track in all of fire emblem imo, seriously a masterpiece

[ニョルンプ @Aro_op]

@B1irl @fetwtconfession and 3h fans can only talk about 3h lmao

[ニョルンプ @Aro_op]

@NazyGramer @meltytime2 sounds like an extremely slim definition that is randomly strict for fire emblem. there are very few games that fulfill these requirements and even though fire emblem actually does it’s just “not enough” lmao

[ニョルンプ @Aro_op]

@NazyGramer @meltytime2 what actually makes a game an rpg in your opinion?

[ニョルンプ @Aro_op]

@NazyGramer @manwhaaat dude i think you might just be completely insane

[ニョルンプ @Aro_op]

@SneedChuck01 @arcadiaofsorrow not dorkass 😭💔

[ニョルンプ @Aro_op]

@SEN_yurine_art AIに作られてない？

[ニョルンプ @Aro_op]

@RecallMyName @Pacifist_Elk I am fully in the same boat with you, I prefer Pokopia but thats just because I'm more mechanics-focused in general. I still played ACNH for a surprisingly long time which just goes to show how far pure style and polish can take a game haha

@GleekedSigurd how could anyone forget the GOAT
