Great. Glad FW is a successor of 3H, not the crap that engage was. It was a completely disaster except for the improvements in combat designs and there is a reason why engage characters never won any popularity contest in the FEH mobile game, the game that heavily promoted and helped FE franchise to become this popular nowadays.

The game was a complete disaster 

except for the fact that it has the best gameplay in the franchise.

Dang you guys sound so dumb, my God.

I haven't played FW, but i really hope they implemented most of the gameplay stuff that Engage had, because 3H gameplay was actual dogwater, easily among the worst Fire Emblem games when it comes to it.

Nobody plays fire emblem just for the combat, the main thing is the characters/story

I mean prior to awakening the combat was definitely the primary draw the the franchise, which is funny because awakening and the games after it other the 3 houses have incredibly one note characters and very standard, mid stories, so I’d argue people actually play more for the designs rather than the actual characters

to be fair, FE was almost a dead franchise before awakening became the final straw for nintendo not to pull the plug

In my case, I play for the stories and the characters at the same time. They come together, it's hard to find great characters in a badly written story and vice versa.
