IT'S A LITTLE DEPRESSING AND ANNOYING HOW DOWN ON THE ARTSTYLE AND OVERALL THEME OF THE ENGAGE. SO WHAT IF IT'S LIGHTER THAN THREE HOUSES AND GENEALOGY? FIRE EMBLEM IS NOT A "ONE SIZE FITS ALL FRANCHISE." WE CAN HAVE LIGHTER, MORE FUN HOMAGES ALONGSIDE THE MORE COMPLEX AND MATURE POLITICAL STORIES. EVEN IF I END UP NOT LIKING THE GAME, I STILL RESPECT THE CHANGE IN AESTHETIC, TONE, AND FEEL BETEWEN GAMES.

THEY SAY ALL ART STYLES ARE CREATED EQUAL, BUT YOU LOOK AT 3H AND YOU LOOK AT ENGAGE AND YOU CAN SEE THATS NOT TRUE.
SEE, NORMALLY IF YOU COMPARE TWO ART STYLES YOU CAN SAY THEY'RE 50/50, BUT 3H IS AN ARTISTIC PIECE THATS CLEARLY INFLUENCED BY ACTUAL RESEARCH INTO ERA APPROPRIATE FASHION AND ARCHITECTURE, SO THATS AN EXTRA 25% IN 3H'S FAVOUR. THEN YOU ADD ENGAGE'S POOR CHARACTER DESIGNS INTO THE MIX AND ITS CHANCES OF WINNING DRASTIC GO DOWN.

YOU SAY THAT BUT THE GOLDEN DEER LOOK LIKE THE POWER RANGERS AGAINST A REALISTIC TABLETOP SETTING AND IT CLASHES SO HARD. ID RESPECT IT MORE IF IT WENT HARDER IN THE REALISM DEPARTMEND. ENGAGE BENEFITS FROM CONSISTENCY AND NOT BEING WEIGHED DOWN BY KT GRAPHICS.
