Players debate Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave menus and balance after launch

gamingSep 26, 202627233

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave just launched and players are torn between delight and frustration: many praise the soft, colorful art and the smooth opening cutscenes while others complain the game drags with long menus and slow pacing. A recurring thread centers on Leda's route, with one player saying they spent 60 hours and still have not finished it, and some players wishing the game had fewer routes so supports could feel tighter. Criticism also focuses on late-game balance and systems choices, notably that wyverns are locked to certain characters and that weapon restrictions limit customization. Amid the gripes, several posts single out how endearing the core lords are, naming Cai, Dietrich, Theodora, and Leda as standout characters, and players are already picking cosplays and spinning up original characters inspired by the game.

it feels SO GOOD to be playing and enjoying a new fire emblem with other fans. like we all joke about how the community is a tar pit but playing fortune's weave and discovering it's actually good with 10-year fire emblem mutuals feels like this

so is fortunes weave like.... 200 hours long I'm at 60 hours and I haven't finished leda's route yet and there are three more routes after that and presumably some kind of final act after that

I think Fortunes Weave is very ambitious, but I'd rather have less routes if it means the story is more refined, and tighter supports between fewer characters rather than lot of characters that are just, there. Core cast of Leda's route is fun, but geez where's everyone with their supports

fortune's weave feels like the first fire emblem game in ages where intsys really realized they need to balance speed more

The funniest part of the Fortunes Weave cast is that there’s at least 3-4 characters who are 40 years old but act like this whenever they get a bad level or anything happens to them

fortunes weave locking wyverns behind certain characters OR the late game is a little upsetting because im normal about wyverns. also upsetting that you can't use whatever weapon on many classes i feel like that was one of the fun quirks of 3 houses
