    The art style looks so bad 🤢🤮

  2. SoulOfGwyn

    The main character design is really not doing it for me.

  3. kinda_ok_guy

    The game doesn’t look bad. The art style isn’t bad either. But these two combined surely will lump this game alongside recent/current popular mobile gacha games like Genshin and Tower of Fantasy

  4. SableSix

    I wonder if this game will lose some sales due to the main character design alone. I can’t get past the awful hair.

    I miss older Fire Emblems on 3DS where I could at least make my MC look like early 30’s and a non anime teenbop hair style which helped go along with some of the more mature story lines a lot better then some young preteen BTS wannabe. I’m not a teenager anymore and I really don’t want to be forced to roleplay one

    aka… Fire Emblem Awakening

    Dog, they’ve GOT to do something about the main characters hair. Let us give them a hat or something Jesus Christ.

    New fire emblem art style being so anime is garbaggio

    Probably a hot take but fire emblem’s art direction has been pretty terrible following the GameCube and GBA games. I miss blazing blade and sacred stones and path of radiance.

  8. PrinsassyEvieMongse

    Glad I didn’t post this, ya’ll in the Comments so doggone annoying. Alear’s a cute Design and the visuals be stunnings. But go and make same uninspired Anime Hair joke.

  9. Larielia

    Can I change the main character’s hair? It looks so silly.

  10. CookiesFTA

    Lame. I was rather hoping there wouldn’t be all the unnecessary “run around town” stuff that the last game had.

  11. jackolater123

    If they allow us to change Toothpaste-Chan’s hair I might buy it. It’s just so ugly.

  12. RadJavox

    Three Houses had some classy character designs, which made it very appealing to a large audience imo. You know? Like, anime stuff but with restraint. The designs in this one are just way over the top.

  13. Althalos

    I just want more stuff like Echoes and Awakening, loved those two.

    Didn’t like Fates and 3H, not a lot of hope for this one either.

  14. IsaiahCrowell

    God just remake radiant dawn and path of radiance instead

  15. PiplupPeanut

    F!Alear’s color scheme still frustrates me but ever since I saw someone point it out, the fact that she has a necktie shoved between her boobs for some reason annoys me the most

    As a woman, that’s not how boobs even work

    What is the sex appeal here, and why do they sexualize the character that they expect mostly women to play as

  16. death1982

    Can’t wait to get this game don’t care about the tooth paste hair

  17. It’s funny, I have no problem with Shez’s and Alear’s hair colors and actually kind of like their designs. Meanwhile, I hated F!Byleth’s design to the point where I can’t play Three Houses with her as a playable character and yet everyone seems to love it.

    I don’t know, Alear designs are kinda dumb, but they’re not enough to make me unable to take the game’s story seriously.

    To everyone hating the protagonist’s design:

    Don’t worry. You’ll be loving it when the next game gets revealed

  19. “Do you want a blue haired protagonist this time or a red haired one?”

    “Yes.”

  20. ptometheus506

    Finally I think I can put to words what so far I have not liked: those castle looks to much like DisneyWorld, wouldn’t be surprised if those are done with papier mache

  21. negatrom

    why did character creation get dropped as a concept?

  22. Oh, like what was already shown in the Direct… but just 4 seconds of it.

    Also, what’s with all the hairstyle karma whoring? Is there really a need for everyone to say the same thing over and over again?

  23. I really hope this game isn’t a downgrade when compared to Three houses, that game is amazing!

  24. Marauding_Llama

    Lots of hate for the hair/design of the MC, but I like it.

  25. shadowolf64

    Damn I totally missed when this game was announced. I had no idea there was another mainline fire emblem coming out. That said: WHYYYY THE HAIR???

  26. CO_Fimbulvetr

    Truly a reddit bubble moment with this thread. Completely opposite reaction elsewhere and it’s setting pre order records for the series.

  27. DocPorkchop

    honestly I dont really care about the protags hair (it is pretty out there but whatever), what I do think though is that the environments/textures look very….. pokemon sword and shield in the worst way possible LOL. I’m tired of the switch hardware holding back these games from just *looking* good.

  28. wow, monastery 2.0 huh? pass, that shit was boring as fuck. I don’t want to run around some janky ass anime castle, i just want to play a tactics game bruh

    thank fuck tactics ogre is coming out soon

  29. sabersquirl

    3 houses looked so beautiful and artistically/stylistically cohesive. This feels like a step in the wrong direction, but I’m willing to give it a chance.

  30. TheOtherWhiteCastle

    It’s weird how despite having over 400 hours in Three Houses and loving that game to death, I have absolutely no interest in Engage. Something about it just seems off to me.

  31. AthearCaex

    Somniel? Like sleeping? Please tell me engage is just a dream all along?

  32. CrushnaCrai

    I know it’s for the switch but why does it look like these games keep getting worse. 3 houses looks better then this by a little. maybe im used to my 3090 and ps5 but come on, it’s 2022.

  33. DarknessInferno7

    >interact with your Emblems

    Dunno if it’s just me, but I really don’t care for what any of the summons have to say. They’ve had their own games, had their own development. Can’t see them changing from start to finish of this game.

    Said it before, saying it again: I really hope this isn’t intended as mainline title. Because I can see this dividing the fan base worse than even Awakening. It’s almost polar opposite to what Three Houses tried to be.

  34. acewing905

    I don’t know why I expected something more than 4 seconds

  35. HousingMedical2111

    This fe is really not doing it for me

  36. They look was so quick I thought the video was still loading.

  37. I realised recently that one of the things I miss the most about earlier Fire Emblem games is not having to walk around to do things. I loved the battle menu systems that was the norm up until Fates.
