gamingOct 2, 202622191

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave just received an 8/10 review in Cubed3, and players are deep in the moment of parsing its long opening and dense systems. Conversations concentrate on specific beats: Cai's strong intro, Sothis's merciless moments, and Aswan and Leda's route for its undercurrent addressing sexual violence and state power. At the same time players are split over pacing and bloat, with some calling it a likely game of the year while others say the sheer volume of side content feels overwhelming. A concrete gameplay controversy has emerged, with a widely shared method to cheese support points by eating at the inn and restarting chapters, which many expect will be patched.
