Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave players report mixed impressions after launch
Some Fortune's Weave from me other at @mothership.blog this morning! It's time to talk Dietrich and Fabio! I was surprised how much Dietrich's route was a kind of love story, one whose various peculiarities end up twisting and turning through questions of gender and expression.
"You are human and I love you!" One of my favorite cutscenes in all FE.
I've only finished part 1 of Dietrich so far, but oh man. I was already immensely enjoying the neurodivergence allegory going on with Dietrich but Fabio is one of the Fire Emblem characters of ALL time. Can't wait to see their A support once I finish all the paths and can proceed...
Man, the new Fire Emblem game is not hitting for me the way I wish it was.
That’s a shame. 😢 My partner and I have honestly been blown away by it, but that may be partly the route we picked to play first (I fear the others will be very underwhelming in comparison). We were commenting yesterday that it feels like this route could have basically been the whole game itself.
It genuinely took me about 20 hours before I was like "yeah I'm ba-da-ba-ba-ba lovin' it"
Which route did you try first? (I did Leda & I enjoyed it despite a lot of stuff. I think keeping track of the calendar & all the stuff to do in town is deeply confusing.)
