I was hoping for another Echoes game so I was disappointed as well, but I'm not gonna let this taint how I feel about the series. I for one, would rather they take their time instead of rushing out new FE title just to meet demand only for it to have more problems than 3H did.Įven if you have no interest in this Warriors game, please do your best to have a more positive perspective and rest easy knowing that the next true FE game is gonna come later down the line and be better than Three Houses. The low-res textures, the occasional framerate issues, missing areas of the monastery (at launch), and general lack of map variety all slightly blemish what is otherwise a fantastic game.īut with this Warriors spin-off to hold everyone over, it's clear that Intelligent Systems is taking much more time with the next true Fire Emblem title to ensure that it'll be better at launch. I love Three Houses-in fact, it's my favorite RPG of all time-but even I can't ignore its glaring issues. Whenever I think about playing it, I usually just think I'd prefer chipping away at the original Hyrule Warriors a little more.įor all the people disappointed that we didn't get a true FE title, look at it this way: 3H Warriors is meant to hold fans over until the next major game which means "FE17" is going to be more polished and have better launch content than Three Houses did. I picked it up like a year ago when stimulus checks rolled out and have only put like 2 hours into it since then. It was just the worst of both worlds for me. Doesn't help that I thought BotW had a pretty cringe story (probably in large part because of the voice acting). Something fresh and different.Īs a Zelda fan, I loved Hyrule Warriors, but after playing it on Wii U, 3DS, and Switch and getting nowhere close to finishing it either time, I really had no interest in Age of Calamity. I think they should have at least targeted a different audience who isn't already suffering from Musou fatigue, like maybe Kirby or Xenoblade. I'm not a Fire Emblem fan, so maybe those people are really excited for this, but I just don't see the point. Each game takes hundreds of hours to beat, and the gameplay can get mind-numbingly repetitive, so it's easy to get really burned out on just one of them, let alone however many are on Switch now.
It's like they have a quota of one per year to meet. Nintendo really needs to chill with all the Warriors games.
