Early players praise Fortune's Weave but debate its difficulty

gamingSep 20, 202643313

With Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave newly out, early players are celebrating its polished presentation and story while arguing about how the gameplay feels. Many praise the gorgeous cutscenes and the cast, noting diverse characters and name-checking recruits like Yang Jie, while others applaud the return of dumping many recruitable characters early, a move compared to Three Houses. Players split over difficulty, some saying combat feels too easy and others reporting brutal first matches, and debate centers on the pacing of the opening, the free time board-game map, and features like the Theatre mechanic that some miss from Suikoden 3. Threaded through the conversation are small human beats: one player finally meeting Yang Jie's recruitment requirements, another fretting over their Eshmel appearance, and running jokes about Sirocco and Fabio.

one thing I really like in fortunes weave that they brought over from 3h is just dumping all the characters on you very early on and letting you choose who to work towards recruiting it works so well still

As a guy who is LOVING Fortunes Weave, I do have just ONE non-spoiler criticism: The pacing at the start is rough and it takes a bit longer than I'd like to get to the meat of the game. Plus, once you do, SO MUCH info is dumped on you all at once. Other than that, this game is fantastic so far!

I chose Cai because I felt he was the perfect lord to ease myself into the world. 8 chapters in and I love my Ribiera trio 😭 If anything happens to these kids I’m killing everyone and then myself

I went with Cai, then after its Leda, Dietrich and then Theodora

trying to go from kcd2, a game that very much is about letting you learn as you go along and develop from your mistakes, to fortunes weave where i have been dying under an avalanche of tutorial and exposition for hours now, sure is an experience

one thing about fortune's weave (which i imagine will become less of an issue as i keep playing) is that there's a push and pull between having a lot of things to do, but not too many things to do which is maybe more important.

Probably won’t have any fully formed Fortune’s Weave thoughts for a while, but I’m starting to dig the idea that you’re managing an entire economy more than an army. Approaches a grand strategy kind of focus on resource harvesting. Honestly think they could push it even further.
