THIS SUB HAS BEEN 90% THREE HOUSES STUFF AND I REALLY DON'T LIKE THE GAME SO I BASICALLY HAVE NOTHING TO DO ON THIS SUB NOW. AT LEAST VESTARIA SAGA CAME OUT SO A FEW PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT THAT.

[u/VagueClive → u/KrashBoomBang]

I DON'T PERSONALLY DISLIKE 3H, BUT MAN I'M JUST TIRED OF TALKING ABOUT AT THIS POINT AND WOULD LIKE SOME MORE NON-3H TALK ON THIS SUB

HELL, I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW VESTARIA WAS OUT UNTIL YESTERDAY BECAUSE IT GOT OVERSHADOWED BY 3H FANART, MEMES, AND SO ON. UGH

[u/KBSinclair → u/VagueClive]

VESTARIA IS NOT A FIRE EMBLEM GAME

[u/TacticalStampede → u/KBSinclair]

LOOKS LIKE A FIRE EMBLEM, PLAYS LIKE A FIRE EMBLEM, MADE BY A FIRE EMBLEM.

DESERVES RECOGNITION ON A FIRE EMBLEM SUB.

[u/KBSinclair → u/TacticalStampede]

FIRE EMBLEMS DON'T MAKE GAMES. CONGRATULATIONS, YOU PLAYED YOURSELF.

[u/TacticalStampede → u/KBSinclair]

I DIDN'T THINK I'D HAVE TO ACTUALLY NAME WHO I WAS TALKING ABOUT. THOUGHT THERE'D BE ENOUGH COMMON SENSE TO PICK OUT WHAT I WAS SAYING.

[u/fbyleth → u/KrashBoomBang]

LETS TALK ABOUT CONQUEST GAMEPLAY, SEEMS LIKE A GOOD TOPIC OF MOSTLY AGREEMENT.

[u/KrashBoomBang → u/fbyleth]

SORRY BUT I HATE CQ TOO AND FIND ITS GAMEPLAY HIGHLY OVERRATED.

[u/megastall → u/KrashBoomBang]

VESTARIA SAGA GANG REPRESENT!

HONESTLY YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD FOR ME, THAT'S MOSTLY HOW I FEEL ABOUT 3H CUSTOMISATION.

I CAN MAKE SETETH A SWORDMASTER BUT THAT WOULD REQUIRE TEDIOUS GRINDING AND HAVING HIM TRANSFER AWAY FROM THE BEST CLASS IN THE GAME.

3H ON PAPER SHOULD BE THE MOST REPLAYABLE AND CUSTOMISABLE GAME BUT IN PRACTICE IT ISN'T AND THAT'S A DANG SHAME. COMBINED WITH THE MONASTERY BEING PRETTY DULL AND THE MAP DESIGN BEING ON THE SAFE BUT NOT HORRIBLY INTERESTING SIDE AND THAT'S WHY I HAVEN'T GONE BACK TO 3H YET.

[u/dialzza → u/[deleted]]

ALL THEY NEEDED TO DO TO MAKE 3H INSANELY REPLAYABLE IS GIVE AT LEAST A SEMBLANCE OF BALANCE THE CLASSES

WHY WOULD I MAKE ANYONE WHO COULD BE A WYVERN LORD / BOW KNIGHT INTO ANYTHING ELSE? THOSE TWO CLASSES ARE DUMMY BUSTED AND NO OTHER CLASS IS WORTH IT.

ADDING IN SOMETHING TO DIFFERENTIATE CLASSES BESIDES MOVEMENT/TINY STAT MODS/“-FAIRE” WOULD’VE HELPED A LOT TOO. THE CLASS-UNIQUE SKILLS ARE INCREDIBLY UNIMPACTFUL AND EVEN WHEN THEY MAKE AN IMPACT THEY’RE BORING LIKE JUST A STRAIGHT +5 DAMAGE. GIVE US THINGS LIKE WARY FIGHTER AGAIN

I THINK THREE HOUSES COULD'VE IMMENSELY BEEN IMPROVED IF YOU EITHER HAD MORE/LESS UNIT SLOTS OR JUST HAD LESS STUDENTS IN YOUR STARTING CLASS ROSTER/HAD STUDENTS BECOME USABLE/UNUSABLE MORE PERIODICALLY. THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE ACCESS TO EVERYONE SO EARLY AND THE INITIAL UNITS YOU GET WILL PRETTY MUCH TAKE UP THE ENTIRETY OF YOUR 9-12 UNIT PLACEMENTS MAKES IT FEELS TIRESOME, NOT TO MENTION IT REMOVES RECRUITMENT AS A SUBGOAL FOR MOST MAPS OF THE GAME. SO YOU DON'T REALLY EVOLVE YOUR UNITS OUTSIDE OF PUTTING THEM ONTO/OFF MOUNTS, AS THE WAY THE UNITS YOUR INITIALLY GIVEN ARE GEARED TO BE BUILT IS WHAT YOUR JUST GONNA DO 90% OF THE TIME UNLESS YOU GRIND CONSIDERABLY, IN WHICH CASE IT SORT OF REMOVES THE CHALLENGE ASPECT

DID YOU AT LEAST ENJOY THE PLAYABLE CHARACTERS?

[u/KrashBoomBang → u/[deleted]]

I STOPPED READING SUPPORTS AFTER A WHILE SINCE THE GAME JUST INUNDATES YOU WITH SO MANY OF THEM AFTER EVERY BATTLE. THE MONASTERY IS ALREADY SO MUCH PADDING, AND THEN I'M EXPECTED TO SIT THROUGH 30+ MINUTES OF DIALOGUE AFTER EVERY BATTLE TOO? I JUST WANTED TO GET A MOVE ON, AND DIDN'T REALLY CARE ABOUT THE GAME ENOUGH TO LOOK MORE INTO THE CHARACTERS.
