Remember when Fire Emblem was about, like, war and politics. It even had commentary on human suffering and religion and discrimination and so on and so forth. Fire Emblem used to be good. It used to mean something.
(For a more serious review:
I'm not totally opposed to the idea of a trashy fanservice game that only exists as an anniversary title, but if that was the goal of this game then why waste their time with the brand new world and characters that no one seems to care about. Why not make it a series-wide crossover and include several characters from each game instead of only 1 character. I've seen a couple people say that maybe this game was only made so that they could sell more swimsuit alts in the gacha game and honestly that idea makes me a bit depressed. The idea of a series like Fire Emblem going the route of pokemon where new games are primarily made to sell merchandise is pretty disheartening. I'm not actually that pessimistic about the future of FE though. We know an FE4 remake is coming and I'm currently praying that the team that made 3H is working on that.)
