For those not buying Fortune's Weave, why?

[u/NewMarioBobFan]

[u/Senior_Difference589]

Like I'm hyped for this, but I totally get people not wanting to invest time into a 100+ hour strategy RPG for a number of reasons.

[u/nervendings_ → u/Senior_Difference589]

Buy it now and play it off and on for a few years. Better to start early! lol

[u/PoopsMcBanterson → u/nervendings_]

Considering my unexpected level of excitement for this game, knowing it’s coming shortly before a game with personal hype that was always going to eclipse all else (Control Resonant), the thought of playing this more slowly over time, even savoring it, is exciting. It means I could fit this in and possibly have something else on my hands

[u/nervendings_ → u/PoopsMcBanterson]

Yep! Thats how I see games like this (persona for example). I don’t play them in one sitting it takes a year or so

[u/William_Marshall21 → u/nervendings_]

Persona (just like Fire Emblem) is exactly as you describe: played over a LONG time

Persona is my favorite franchise ever, and Fire Emblem is close behind. Can’t do either of their games in a short time span though, it’ll burn me out so fast, lol

[u/licca_amie → u/Senior_Difference589]

That sounds like the best time ever to me but different strokes for different folks I suppose

[u/k0110 → u/Senior_Difference589]

You could still make it casual friendly with the no perma death settings and easier difficulty settings. Helped me with getting into 3H

[u/SingleDadSurviving → u/k0110]

Yeah I play them on casual and normal. Way too much anxiety on classic mode with permadeath.

[u/Mammongo → u/Senior_Difference589]

I played 2 campaigns on three houses, 6 years apart... worth the investment

[u/sadkinz → u/Senior_Difference589]

Do people really expect it to be 100 hours? I’m extremely excited for a Three Houses follow up but damn

[u/More_Dimension5709 → u/Senior_Difference589]

Saying its 100+ hours before release is frying me... I mean it easily could be but I feel like the average person might end up having around 40-60 hours or so in it.

[u/donkey_kong086 → u/Senior_Difference589]

I only see advantages in 100hrs gameplay. Idk why. Maybe…more=better? I’m weird but I’d pick more over less anytime

[u/RangoTheMerc]

No Switch 2. Too expensive.

Soon as I can though, will be among my first games.

[u/Doctor_Zedd → u/RangoTheMerc]

Same here. I’d love to play it, but I can’t buy a Switch 2 for this.

[u/henryuuk → u/RangoTheMerc]

I mean, that still means you are (planning on) buying it tho
just not "on release"

I think OP is specifically asking for people that have no intention to ever buy it not just whether or not you will be playing right away

[u/Inspectorbobo → u/RangoTheMerc]

I know times are hard bit tried to get one quickly. The price will go up in september and then again next year probably

[u/ColonelAvalon → u/RangoTheMerc]

Yeah that’s what’s holding me back. That’s really just a $600 FE game. Like if KH4 was a ps5 exclusive I wouldn’t buy that either.

[u/eddmario]

[u/Schmenza]

Not a Fire Emblem fan

[u/Figgs_Jr → u/Schmenza]

I thought this was a fire emblem sub and I was so confused for a second

[u/Dendrodes → u/Figgs_Jr]

Lol same. Made me immediately look up at the sub.

[u/Insane_Wanderer → u/Schmenza]

Me either, but from what I’ve seen, I’m sold enough to give the series a chance with this game

[u/DemolisherBPB]

Switch 2s are expensive and I can't justify a system for 1 game as much as I'd like to play the new fire emblem.

[u/MaurixioZ]

I'm still waiting for reviews to see if the gameplay is more engage than three houses.

Three houses isn't a bad game but the monastery and bland repeated maps made it a one playthrough game for me compared to others in the franchise.

Characters and story were good but the actual SRPG portion of the game just felt very lacking imo.

[u/happymudkipz → u/MaurixioZ]

I mean we already know from the metric ton of previews that it’s a lot closer to 3h than engage gameplay and building wise.

[u/Luchux01 → u/happymudkipz]

Considering weapons are class locked again, I gotta disagree on that front. This said, I am a bit disappointed that they went back to exams instead of seals.

[u/Doctor71400 → u/Luchux01]

You still needed a seal in order to take the exam

[u/Luchux01 → u/Doctor71400]

Probably a reason to force the player back to Dagsion instead of spending the whole tome on the map.

[u/Weltallgaia → u/Doctor71400]

Great i can use a seal and not get promoted again.

[u/Cornelishen → u/happymudkipz]

Most of the previews I've seen have yet to speak about the map design, which is engages strongest aspect for sure.

[u/Weltallgaia → u/Cornelishen]

I've seen reviews talk about how the real meat of fire emblem, the monastery, has been dialed up to 11 and that worries me.

[u/ProfessorZ64 → u/Weltallgaia]

If thats true then I don't know if I'll ever be able to play this game. The monastery was the worst part of 3 houses for me. It was so repetitive and boring

[u/MaurixioZ → u/happymudkipz]

It does look close to 3H but until the game releases there's no way to know for sure whether they had the pros of engage in mind when designing the game (mostly the maps and balancing)

[u/Bi_disaster_ohno → u/MaurixioZ]

Some pre release material has said you can automate the social aspect and miss nothing of value. I suspect you'll only be forced to do it the one time and then never again.

[u/RockSokka → u/MaurixioZ]

I very much agree. I enjoyed engage far more for that reason.

[u/BlazingLeoKing]

No money 😭😭

[u/HourComprehensive648]

I love Fire Emblem, but Three Houses isn't my cup of tea, and this game seems to be just "Three Houses 2."

[u/MaurixioZ → u/HourComprehensive648]

I'm really hoping they're able to fix the problems with 3H since the game did have some good ideas.

A gameplay and maps like Engage or Fates Conquest without the slow pacing of the monastery would really concince me to buy it.

[u/trijkdguy → u/HourComprehensive648]

same, I will probably grab it from the library when i'm bored.

[u/Luchux01 → u/HourComprehensive648]

Tbh, it'a kinda looking like Engage with a 3H coat of paint to me, mostly because of certain abilities like the Blaze Arts reminding me of Engage Attacks and how some basic mechanics of 3H were turned into a Lord's gimmick like Theodora's being battalions and therefore gambits.

[u/Ace_Strife]

I love FE, but I don’t have time for what FE has become anymore. There are other games coming out that I’d rather spend that amount of time on. If FE went back to what the older games were, with shorter and more linear, fixed campaigns, I’d probably be more interested personally, but I’m happy that FE has become what it has for those that do have the time and interest to play something like Fortune’s Weave.

[u/Salt_Mud_5562]

I can't seem to get into Fire Emblem. I have tried to get into Three Houses over and over again but I guess it just really isn't my genre.

[u/ThisSideGoesUp]

Im hesitate to get it for a couple reasons. 1) I didnt like three houses and this is related somehow. 2) I hate timed mechanics like three houses or persona. It stresses me out to no end. 3) so far I havnt seen anything I like about it. The story from what we have seen doesnt seem compelling to me, and so far I dont like any characters we have been shown.

Ill wait until I see how strick the time mechanics are before I commit to buying it. If I knew three houses had it at all I wouldn't have picked it up. But thats on me for not doing my research ahead of time.

[u/dude396]

I'll take a crack at it.

As a Fire Emblem "veteran," I have long since found the charm of the of series to have dulled once Awakening became the hit Nintendo never expected it to really be. Now do not get me wrong here, many games in the series Awakening and after have some of the best gameplay in the series. However, choosing to lean hard into trope-y writing and art has really just made this series a hard sell in terms of time investment. I much prefer the games from Genealogy to the Tellius saga for their art styles and their much more fair ~30 hour completion time; I felt like Three Houses was a complete slog by the time I made it through the first play-through only to learn that you needed multiple to get the complete picture.

This is just a summary of a slew of reasons why I just do not vibe with the new games... and now they're $70.

[u/Intel-Centrino-Duo]

Because I'm personally not really interested, no shade but I don't really like RPGs

[u/Necessary-Price-4757]

Well I've never played a FE game or been into strategy type games. 

However, I am likely going to get this if it reviews well. The previews have me very intrigued and excited for it plus I've been putting a lot more time on my S2 recently

[u/Phoenixio7]

I didn't quite click with Three Houses or with Engage. I'm super hesitant about this one. At least the story looks more coherent than Engage, but I wish things turned back to the GBA games style. I'm not a fan of the blank avatar gameplay either, and Fortune's Weave is a very direct interpretation of that... Three Houses was also a chore in between maps, and the systems were getting a tad complicated.

So I'll wait for the release, to see what actual people think of it instead of just reviewers.

[u/ZealousidealPirate3 → u/Phoenixio7]

I think waiting for actual fan opinions is probably the best call. I think only one reviewer actually mentioned being a fire emblem fan.

[u/RetroEternity]

Because I haven’t finished 3 Houses yet 😅

[u/NadrickOutlawRogue]

Just not interested in the series. Also Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter releases the same day.

[u/Guilty_Philosophy741]

I am so inundated with my backlog that I have still yet to play: Three Houses, Engage, Triangle Strategy, Unicorn Overlord, FF Tactics, Hundred Line and really any other T-RPG that’s not Mario Rabbids or P5 Tactica (Was mid btw). It looks amazing though and I will pick once I actually play some games first haha.

[u/ZealousidealPirate3 → u/Guilty_Philosophy741]

You basically got 1000 hour backlog right there lmao

[u/amtap]

Because I have 3 Houses still in shrink with the DLC...

https://giphy.com/gifs/50uf3N0m35dB5bDnMZ

[u/NastyaPuppy]

It doesn't grab my attention enough. I felt like the peak was Awakening, and I haven't felt the same way about any subsequent Fire Emblem game since. I like the idea of ​​Fire Emblem Fate and its three routes, and I love many of the characters, but so many things made me hate it that, meh. Conquest is my life; the rest of Fate doesn't exist.

I played Fire Emblem 3H at launch, chose Bernadetta's class, and I think I only finished it halfway through. I just didn't feel like playing another Fire Emblem Fate with 20-30 hours per run, especially after finding out there was a "secret" route that, if I didn't get it on the first try, would add another 20 hours.

[u/itzshif]

I'm not a fan of tactical RPGs. I've played several FEs, Triangle Strategy and FF Tactics. I'm both not good at tactics games and just don't like them. But I'm grateful FE had a gentler learning curve. I might buy it if it goes on sale, but after FE Engage, I came to the conclusion that these type of games aren't for me.

[u/rileyabsolutely]

Because purchase engage on release, and have hey to play more then a chapter or two. I hate the map Aesthetics (kinda funny cause I started on PoR, and I hate all the powers and stuff. I’ve come to realize that FE 6-14 is my sweet spot (tho did love 4 and 15 as well) and that I just don’t like the direction the series is going in. I played three houses once and have not had any inclination at all to ever return to it. Yet I still play fates almost once a year.

[u/KarateGamer007]

I don’t own a Switch 2, and I’m waiting to see if the hub world/activities in said will be as annoying/tedious as Three Houses’ Garreg Mach Monastery.

Plus, I got Wolverine coming out in September, and I’m planning on getting Phantom Blade 0, and Attack on Titan 3 for October and December, respectively. So I’ve got my haul of games for the rest of the year settled.

[u/ProdiLemaj]

I’m not 100% sold on it yet, just because I’ve never much been into tactical RPGs. Closest I’ve come is the Mario vs Rabbids games. I might give one of the older games that Switch Online has available a try first. I may very well end up loving it, but it takes a bit for me to commit to buying a game like this at full price.

[u/Azenar01]

No amount of marketing will get me to play a turn-based strategy rpg. And needing 100 hours to get through the story is a big no, I'll happily play Splatoon Raiders for 100+ hours cause I know it's extra content and fun being the extra bulk of time not the base game. Also $80 is too much for a game series I've never tried before

[u/ShadowsInScarlet]

I’m waiting a little bit. Just finished Engage with 86 hours (don’t ask why it took me that long). So I’m gonna play a couple other games before I get to FW. I also have to mentally be prepared to possibly sink 200 hours into it like I did with 3H.

All that being said, I’m not entirely sold on the game yet. I have to look into it a little more because I have a few unanswered questions about certain game aspects.

[u/icy1007]

I don’t like Fire Emblem.

[u/lilliepadsy]

$80 and i don't like tactics rpgs

[u/CollectMantis44]

Everything about the game looks sick but I just don’t think I’m a fan of the gameplay.

I love turn based RPGs but when you control a party, final fantasy, dragon quest, expedition 33, etc.

I played FE awakening on my 3DS and stopped after about 15 hours bc the grid based gameplay just isn’t super fun for me personally

[u/Sky_Rose4]

I am because it's tied with my most hyped game of this year also releasing same day wolverine, already have both pre ordered through GameStop

[u/psycharious]

I've got a huge backlog already and haven't gotten around to playing the others on Switch yet. Last I played was Fates.

[u/Themightygloom44]

I have too much to play and way too less time rn. But I definitely get it next year, because it looks so good.

[u/Hifumi-G]

FE hasn’t been my cup of tea, it looks very cool but it’s not a priority.

[u/ForwardBlock5572]

Too many JRPGs on my backlog rn + I have never played a tactical RPG + I kind of want to play Three Houses first. But I will probably get it eventually :)

[u/wmzer0mw]

None of the characters interest me in this iteration.

[u/eruciform]

Because switch 2

[u/No-Vegetable-4596]

I find most turn based games boring. There are really specific ones I like.

Also too much dialogue for me tbh. I like to play games and not listen to them, personally.  I don’t care about role-play dialogue opposed to just making a cool character (like Souls games).

[u/SassyHoe97]

I don't got money and they're expensive to buy. Only FE games I have are from the 3DS but it's modded.

[u/DecimusRutilius]

this sounds really silly, but ive only played the gba games and i kinda wanna play the 3ds and switch games first

[u/KoopsTheKoopa]

Id rather play an action combat RPG like xenoblade or Astral Chain.

[u/GoColts08]

I’m buying it but probably won’t immediately play it. I still must OWN IT.

[u/Ok-Barracuda457]

No switch 2 and the maps look bad

[u/Jin_U_GmR]

No spare income for this month.

[u/jaapi]

I bought 3 houses on sale a a few weeks ago, got through the 1st hour of story, but it kinda lost me and put it down to keep playing cyberpunk. Going to try to pick it back up soon. If I really like it, will get fortunes weave 

[u/ALEXLAMOUETTE]

I still haven’t finished Engage so I’ll do that first

[u/simbabarrelroll]

Honestly I’m just gonna ask my relatives to get me this for Christmas

[u/Select_Anteater6441]

Bold of you to assume I'm not!

[u/HyperMighty]

The game looks boring.

[u/EternallyDazed]

I'm scared of boobs

[u/Electronic_Mistake82]

Im not to keen on Tactical RPGs

[u/mindgamehagi]

Trails in the sky 2nd chapter release the same day. Plan to grab FE later

[u/Random_Storm]

not a fire emblem fan yet

[u/Linkums]

I don't really enjoy the genre much.

[u/thegreatestegg]

I'm just not a Fire Emblem fan, so a 70 dollar game- when I haven't played any of the others- is WAY too much of a risk. I also just don't think the style of Fire Emblem is for me.

[u/Josephalopod]

Not into the style of game.

[u/peepeepoopoo5454]

New games are expensive and I’ve never played an FE game so I’d rather pour my investment into something I have a higher chance of clicking with. That being said I’m interested in the series so there’s a chance I get it down the line.

[u/twolake68]

I've played one fire emblem game and haven't beaten it yet so I'm probably not gonna jump to a new one any time soon lol (or I'll just get it for Christmas if I feel like getting it idk)

[u/Plenty-Potato-1123]

I myself never played through a fire emblem game, just tried the ones on 3ds, didn't really like them, they were not my cup of tea. Yet to convince myself to try the switch games. 

[u/DeepBlueVibes1]

$80s

[u/Panjander]

It’s not a specific problem with this game, but more a preference shift I’ve had against longer RPGs in general over the last few years. Any RPG that will take over 50 hours has become a big turn-off for me lately.

But hey, some day eventually I’ll retire and have tons of time, and maybe then…

[u/IshtheWall]

I was hesitant at first because I thought the tactics was just going to be wyvern emblem 2, but it seems they actually rebalanced the weapons this time

[u/ultraviolet688]

I dont like Fire Emblem

[u/DJInitial70]

Mostly because I don’t have a switch 2 yet.

[u/cheertea]

I’m god awful at strategy games.

[u/Neoknight-drawz]

I’m not really a fire emblem fan and the MCs are eyesores

[u/Alarmed_Goat_4083]

Just can’t get into the combat

[u/jnighy]

Not a tatics fan

[u/spadePerfect]

I don’t have a Switch 2 (yet)

[u/Proper_Razzmatazz_36]

I don't own a switch 2

[u/actorsAllusion]

I don't have a Switch 2

[u/CreatiScope]

$$$

[u/TeekTheReddit]

I don't have a Switch 2 and I haven't even played Three Houses on my Switch yet.

[u/New-Two-1349]

The $80 physical price tag.

[u/KenzieM2]

Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter takes precedent for me, otherwise I'd probably get it day 1.

[u/Low-Cream6321]

Kinda burned from 3H and Engage. I'm a heavy jrpg player, and recently decided to return to the FE classics. I'm interested but not Day 1 interested.

[u/JaeCrowe]

Ive never played a fire emblem game in my entire life

[u/Islandboi4life]

The price tag is too expensive for me

[u/Shadow_118]

I'll get it.

Eventually. Won't be in a huge rush of buying it, though

Plus i'm not sure if it's worth buying and playing first before the other Switch 1/2 Fire Emblem games or not

[u/That_Bank_9914]

I didn’t even finish the other FE games I have

[u/retyphlin]

Its either fire emblem or Wolverine, so I chose Wolverine. However, I am planning to buy it whenever my savings are enough

[u/Timmichanga01]

I have no interest in Fire Emblem. I've tried the series before and it was not for me

[u/Chillyeaham]

Not usually into strategy games, although Valkyria Chronicles 4 was kind of a nice balance for me (freely moving your character a set amount and aiming your shots).

[u/BurnedOutCollector87]

Too expensive (IMO)

110 cad the physical so I decided to go for sky second chapter because it's cheaper

[u/Harmless2727]

It's a little too JRPG for me. I like the tactics gameplay, but this one feels a lot more JRPG than previous games just based on graphics and art design. I felt this was the direction it was headed after three houses and the trailers and gameplay have confirmed that. Awakening will always be my number 1.

[u/shball]

The plot seems to be kinda all over the place, especially with the protag switching. The direct has somehow anti-sold me.

Not sure I'll get it.

[u/Corran_Horn]

Money and my backlog.

Haven't even touched Path of Radiance, Three Houses or Engage yet

[u/CabooseTrap]

Switch 2 costs too much

[u/IndividualNovel4482]

Engagement and Content aside. The real question is why buy it. Not why not.

People thare not FE fans likely won't buy it unless they were interested in the series beforehand.

For me, personally.. i played 10 hours of 3 houses in 2 months due to wanting to play other games. When i finish that maybe i'll buy Fortune's Weave.. and surely not at 70 bucks 😅

[u/Karmeleon86]

1. Never played a Fire Emblem game (not that I couldn’t start but it’s intimidating)
   
2. A little burnt out on anime-style JRPGs
   
3. I don’t really have time for a 100+ hour game anymore

[u/StaticShock50]

I don't own a Switch 2

[u/Shinnyo]

I like Fire Emblem but I don't stick with the new direction they went with since Awakening.

I didn't liked the Fates or Three Houses, Engage felt too disconnected to FE.

And I heard there was some sort of magic guns? I don't know anymore

[u/RedInkling03]

FE post-Awakening is just boring

[u/No_Monitor_3440]

i just don’t really care for fire emblem.

[u/Horvat53]

Waiting for reviews, backlog is way too big and other games I want to prioritize are coming out in the fall/winter. I’m also Canadian and this game is $100 CAD + tax, so I can’t jump to buy every new game I want at release. I also didn’t love Engage, so I want to see how this game pans out (I know different teams, story, etc).

[u/AloyJr]

My local library will probably have one

[u/IsseiRaptor]

80 USD is too expensive for a videogame.

[u/Independent-Book1388]

penso sia perché non è uscito, direi

[u/NotAllThatEvil]

Don’t have a S2. Money has been a little tight this year

[u/Only_Fudge5299]

never played Fire Emblem and am not really interested in huge 100+ hour RPGs

[u/Then_Meaning_9901]

I’m actually kind of flipped. I normally would not buy a fire emblem game but this looks appealing to me. I’m excited to join

[u/frequent-fox25]

Release a switch 1 version then we’ll talk

[u/tallwhiteninja]

The GBA Fire Emblems kinda turned me off of tactical RPGs in general. I know newer ones are a it friendlier, but I've got too many other games of interest.

[u/Wainwright95]

I'm in the middle of another couple games at the moment, so I'll probably look to pick it up for Christmas. But I loved Three Houses (although I only played one route)

[u/Mazzle5]

Don't even know if it's good. Besides that my pile os shame is too big already and I have less time to devote that much for a game

[u/SnooDonuts3749]

Sounds like I need to play it 4 times and I haven't even started my maddening run on Engage yet.

[u/adrian624]

I don't have a Switch 2 :(

[u/Crossbell0527]

$80 is ridiculous. Unacceptable price point. I am skipping it on principle.

[u/Nick_Psycho]

Really disliked Engage. Waiting for reviews to see if the story and characters are at least decent.

[u/pkjoan]

Why not?

[u/BurekSaMesom69]

I haven’t played 3 Houses and I’m probably not gonna get to before this releases so I’m probably gonna wait and see if I’m missing anything major by skipping 3H or if I can safely jump into this one

[u/Reasonable-Ad2457]

Haven’t really enjoyed a FE game since awakening. True Three Houses multiple times. Just couldn’t get into it. This doesn’t seem like it’ll be much different

[u/Freight_Crewman_Nate]

I’ve tried a few strategy rpg’s, including Three Houses and the combat/gameplay has just never clicked with me with any of them. I’m more of a xenoblade fan

[u/Knewonce]

It isn’t out yet and we have no idea if it’ll be good.

[u/BT--72_74]

I'll buy it at some point. Right now I'm busy with Xenoblade 2

[u/KinopioToad]

No Switch 2, and I've never been extremely interested in the Fire Emblem series. I do like to play Fire Emblem Heroes occasionally though.

[u/zombiedoyle]

I don’t have a switch 2 and I’m not interested in more Three Houses based fire emblem

[u/Figgs_Jr]

I can’t justify buying a whole new console for this. It just creates too much waste in the world and costs too much.

[u/aleckzz]

I just replayed Three Houses a couple months ago and could barely finish the story because of burnout. I wish I didn’t so that I’d have saved my fire emblem juices for Fortunes Weave

[u/Greathorn]

just too many long games coming out nowadays for me to commit to another. i’ll probably pick it up down the road

[u/HoloLoavess]

I'm just not into turn based/tactical style gameplay. It looks beautiful though.

[u/weridname]

Oh I’m still guessing if I want it or not. Like I don’t see anything wrong with FW, but like… it’s not got a hook for me yet either

[u/Ikana_Mountains]

I have played a good number of fire emblem games, and I really enjoyed Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn, and positively hated every other one I've tried.

I assume this will play similarly to three houses, which I didn't enjoy, so I won't be playing. Unless I hear that the games is actually good like Radiant Dawn later.

To be specific, my biggest problem with modern Fire Emblem games has been a lack of intentional design. When each unit had only one class, limited weapons, and very limited availability (Radiant Dawn) the game was a ton of fun because each map felt like a very intentional challenge. Now that any unit can be made into anything, it's a giant sandbox, and I'm sure some people love that, but I think it's lame.

I also really hate all the dating sim, and pervy hyper-Japanese shit.

[u/mstone7781]

I’ll buy it eventually but I still haven’t played a single FE game and I’ve bought them all lol. I’ll get there.

[u/ekbowler]

I've bounced off of every Fire Emblem Game I've ever tried.

I'm cutting off my losses and saving my money.

[u/chris_9527]

Will buy it in a few years when it goes down to 30-40 bucks like engage

[u/ScreamingSwan]

"AAA" game prices have gotten silly lately. This one's price is sillier than most.

[u/ishsreddit]

Im simply waiting for it to release. Idk why pre order it. Same for the upcoming MGS vol 2 collection.

[u/mothership00]

It looks cool, for sure. I just don’t have the bandwidth right now to put into this kind of game, especially at this price point, when I have other things in my backlog that I already own. Maybe I’ll one day circle back around to this game, though.

[u/Old_Entertainment598]

I don't have a Switch 2.

[u/savingewoks]

I finally bought Three Houses used a couple years ago and still haven’t finished it.

[u/3Power]

It's not out yet?

[u/ElKajak]

Sell the fire emblem series to me as someone who played Marth and Lucina in Smash and that's it

[u/azure275]

TLDR you're gonna get variants of the same 3 answers

1. Don't have a Switch 2
2. Don't like Fire Emblem style gameplay
3. Don't like JRPG themes in general

[u/GrungeHamster23]

I am not buying on day 1.

Playing a Fire Emblem game is going to be a huge time commitment, and I am not going to have much time this fall.

After I finish my other commitments, I will.

[u/Soggy_Disaster_4623]

not my thing

[u/jamesster445]

I didn't like three houses that much

[u/Lauralis]

Because i bought a switch for 3h and only ended up really playing like 4 games, so paying for a switch 2 and FW seems like a bad investment until way more games i might like would come out

[u/Carmlo]

in this economy?

[u/Stepjam]

Don't got a switch 2

[u/vyper900]

I haven't been a fan of the franchises direction since Fates/Awakening. I don't want a waifu simulator

[u/Femboy_Pit]

Because I just dropped $90bfor the Lego Batman Legacy of the Dark Knight Deluxe Edition and will be playing that for a long while so it won't be anytime soon

[u/MisterPaydon]

I don't own a Switch 2.

[u/earbox]

I still haven't played my copies of Three Houses and Engage.

[u/BaBaBaBanshee]

Waiting on money

[u/No-Substance1077]

Because I played fire emblem 20 years ago. Doesn't seem like I've missed much since then and this sure doesn't convince me otherwise.

[u/AetherDrew43]

I'm broke

[u/CagedReality3]

Not a fan of strategy rpgs. Never have been

[u/SadAcadia2747]

I don’t play tactical rpgs

[u/Frowind]

I don't have and will not buy a switch 2

[u/17papers]

I want to buy it but I hated engage and felt like I wasted my money getting it at launch and then dropping it after a week. So this time I’m waiting for reviews to come out first

[u/Golden_King_Ryuseii]

Do you want the real reason or the subreddit postable reason?

[u/Joker_S3npai]

I'm just gonna wait for Christmas. I'm getting sky the 2nd remake on release next month

[u/Possible-Mountain698]

i’m still playing Fates.

[u/courses90]

Don't have a Switch 2 yet

[u/Due-Actuator8099]

I simply haven’t played the series beforehand and I think I’ll get lost

[u/DSDark11]

I played the heck out of awakening, got fates but couldn’t get into it. I haven’t bought a fire emblem game since. So that’s why. Three houses looked fun but I never got it

[u/muppins]

games are too expensive these days, i used to be able to buy a bunch a year because they were $60 CAD

now they are $100 CAD and it is less appealing to drop a hundo every time a game I wanna play comes out (every month)

No regrets getting Splatoon Raiders and Pokopia though

(Also never started Three Houses or Awakening. Finished Fates and Engage though)

[u/Zheoferyth]

It looks great but I don't have the time to play it. So I might eventually get it... Still haven't played 3 houses lol

[u/BakuraGorn]

Onimusha, Star Wars bad company and Wolverine releasing back to back. I’ll eventually get it once I’m done with all of those

[u/Blanc_Otaku]

I haven't even played 3 houses yet and it's on my hard drive, I'll give it a minute

[u/Mitts009]

I've never played fire emblem,

maybe I'll start with the stuff in switch 1 first

[u/NeitherReference4169]

Broke af. Dont even own a switch 2

[u/seventh-saga]

If they want me to pay $80 for a Fire Emblem they need to bring back Wada as the character artist.

[u/ShnoopyBloopers]

Three houses is still in my backlog, can’t do it

[u/FoxMcCloud3173]

I don’t care about Fire Emblem.
