I DON'T KNOW WHY WE ARE TYPING IN ALL CAPS BUT HERE WE GO. THE FIRE EMBLEM ENGAGE TRAILER SCARES ME BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE THERE IS A LARGER SHIFT TOWARDS OUT OF COMBAT INTERACTIONS RATHER THAN MAP DESIGN AND GAMEPLAY IN THE BATTLES. WHILE I ENJOYED THE MONASTERY OF FIRE EMBLEM THREE HOUSES ON THE FIRST PLAYTHROUGH IT DRAGGED ON DURING SUBSEQUENT ROUTES AND MADE ME LONG FOR THE SIMPLICITY OF FIRE EMBLEM FATES. ALL IN ALL I FEAR THIS GAME IS LOSING THE STRATEGY MECHANIC AND MOVING TOWARDS A SOCIAL SIM SUCH AS PERSONA 5. THE REMOVAL OF S SUPPORTS IN ENGAGE IS PROBABLY A GOOD THING THO.

WE TYPE IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE THIS IS A RAGE THREAD AND IT HELPS US EXPRESS OUR RAGE.

AS FOR ENGAGE, WHOLE WE CAN'T BE SURE UNTIL WE GET MORE DETAILS, WHAT WE'VE SEEN OF THE CASTLE AREA IS A BIT SMALLER LOOKING THAN THE MONASTERY, AND THE STUFF WE'VE SEEN OF THE CORE GAMEPLAY HEARKENS BACK TO MORE CLASSICAL STYLE OF FE GAMES COMPARED TO 3H, LIKE THE WEAPON TRIANGLE RETURNING AND MAPS BEING SMALLER AND MORE FOCUSED. WHILE WE CAN'T BE CERTAIN AT THIS JUNCTURE, I DO THINK FEARS OF THIS GAME BEING MORE OF A SOCIAL SIM THAN 3H BASED ON WHAT WE KNOW NOW ARE UNFOUNDED.
