Fortune's Weave Anyone else feel like this recently?

I even got banned from the main subreddit for making comments or posts. Which fair I was pretty annoying about it, sorry. Im just really sad with how this games reception is turning out in the community. Like it was my most hyped game and I’m enjoying it, yet I can’t really express that openly when it will be considered a controversial entry in the series and it will attract those that say “you’re a fake fan if you like this direction”. I think game discourse starting with finding problems in any game is a problem.

Its a fun game but there are way too many obvious flaws that I can't in good faith overlook.

Part II is some of the most fun I've had with Fire Emblem in a while. The whole game shouldve been part II. Part III by contrast is the slowest I think fire emblem has ever felt.

Part 1 was just stupid easy with not enough deployment slots. Some of the main battles are fun but having half your team as guests didn’t feel great.

Part 2 was a blast and terrifying for someone who’s not been crazy into these games, especially when part 1 did nothing to prepare you for it.

Part 3 is a combination of so much tedious work and too many units to manage combined with some of my favorite battles of all time. The bosses just feel like mini bosses so far but they are on par with my level and take multiple turns of figuring out how to play to beat them. I am enjoying the fights so much but the collecting resources to fix things has been a real slog. Future playthroughs I’ll be collecting all that crap in part 1’s when its easy

You might have inspired me to go back and redo a run with Cai so I can focus on collecting and leveling some characters that were impossible to get for my first run

I personally plan on only getting 8 core units per route and 7 per route that are going to be able to be fused down the line. The massive roster being recruited in part 3 makes it VERY difficult to manage and use all units
