Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave previews praise scale and ambition

gamingAug 13, 2026571,131

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave has arrived in previews and hands-on pieces after 20 hours of play, and posts are homing in on how massive, complex, and ambitious the Switch 2 release feels. Many highlights mention Leda and a tiny bird that triggers surprise during support conversations, a moment players call out as delightfully strange. Other threads zero in on Guzran, with several comparing him to Amari and riffing on his look, while Theodora's gray appearance and the game's visible POC representation have become a frequent talking point. Queer viewers are also naming the title as one likely to resonate strongly with their community, and some writers note the Heroic Games framing as shaping the multiple character paths.

The title of Eurogamer's Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave preview pretty much sums it up... "20 hours in, I cannot believe the scale, complexity, and ambition of Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave" Intelligent Systems is taking their shot at having one of the best Switch 2 RPGs.

I have had to step away from social media just to spend all my free time playing this game. It's just delightful so far.

Oh shit the Free Time system takes more from Devil Survivor than Persona, sick Not that it really matters for a SRPG but I'm curious, was the game 30 or 60FPS? The Direct was encoded in 60 but I know Nintendo can sometimes just upload 30-capped footage for no reason

Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave calling that tiny birb a fucking raven is a microdose of ragebait to me personally #fefw #kyleeart #fireemblem

this has got to be best rep possible for azure moon. I hope intsys commits to the bit

close-up of a character from fire emblem fortune's weave who was featured with hong hua. a tall man with tan skin, very pale teal eyes, and light blue-grey hair done up in a bun, wearing blue earrings, and a halter-style dark blue and silver grey outfit that shows a lot of skin. he has a very serious expression.

Its so funny seeing the disparity between the Fire Emblem previews and the Wolverine previews The Fire Emblem previews are praising the game to kingdom come and excited for its scale and ambition. The Wolverine previews are like "yeah this is a Sony game alright"

Nintendo is by no means a perfect company, but it’s always funny when they just easily do something other companies struggle with for years.

Insomniac stuck making marvel games is just abysmal man. Maybe i am really old and the only thing i care about is dusting off Ratchet and clank PS2 games for a replay

They still can't kill my hype for wolverine though, I've waited too long since the reveal to jump ship now

I wonder if there will be a legit Anti Sabertooth suit

the wolverine combat just looks so sauceless bro, like insomniac gave spider man a launcher why cant wolverine fuckin have one? let alone a jump button. In general its like way less visceral, freeing, and fast as I feel it should be. Thats the main thing that turns me off.

Not mad at all that there are other outlets that Nintendo let play Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave early for previews. Nope, not at all...
