This might be controversial due to the generic anime story and fanservice, which I wasn't all that fond of either, and the general hate surrounding this game, but I actually enjoyed my time with it, especially the soundtrack. It's so good.

Storywise, it's definitely not the best FE has to offer. The premise was good actually, but the execution failed pretty hard for me. Some characters were nothing but quirks, though this game also has some decent and likable characters who I came to enjoy. This, along with the fun gameplay, boosted my enjoyment. The poor localization and some of the fanservice were quite annoying sometimes, though.

Also, playing this with the Gay Fates patch made the experience definitely more fun for me

You gave Awakening 4 stars (and the other fate games) as well and you hated almost all of the earlier fire emblem series (even Genealogy), but Edelgards story in three houses seems to be the next coming of Christ. I never saw a fire emblem fan after it became mainstream more clearly than this. Not meant as a insult. Obviously of a younger generation values other things in gameplay and story presentation. Just funny how Awakening made such a diviide in the community, and how the newer fans vgalue different things from the franchise than older ones. More the anime tropes route i guess.
