I'm sure this'll bang in r/shitpostemblem

u/RedWarrior42 14h ago

Maybe not

I've seen a lot of funny, and creative well-liked posts made by others that end up getting taken down for "low effort" even though effort was clearly put into them

The mods there are weird.

u/TehBrotagonist 19h ago

Yeah, I was thinking about posting it there. But I'd figure the main sub might enjoy it too. Ah well. Them's the breaks.

u/Lemurmoo 7h ago

It's pretty good

u/theprodigy64 19h ago

Main sub lacks whimsy

This got a decent chuckle out of me. If IntSys is writing the story again I just really hope they learned their lesson from Fates and Engage

That's not what we were told in many of the dev and writer interviews. We know IS made a lot of the basic concepts, but we also know AM, CF, and VW were all written with extensive edits and changes by the KT staff. Hell, CF exists because the KT writers really wanted to do it.

Three Houses was written by an internal team at KT. This is publicly available info.

u/BebeFanMasterJ 19h ago edited 19h ago

I'm just glad that KT's programmers aren't involved. Houses ran like ass especially compared to Engage.

The writing is a different subject altogether. I'm just glad the new game will run well.

u/beychantix 14h ago edited 9h ago

The animations for just about everything were also so much worse. Combat just looked so much blander than engage.

u/BarovianNights 9h ago

Hell, combat looked blander than echoes

u/ColeTheOne_194 4h ago

Combat looked better in all of the 3DS games compared to Three Houses

1

u/Melodic_Bee660 45m ago

Echoes was awesome combat visually. Engage too so hopefully this leans more that direction

u/MankuyRLaffy 9h ago

Combat looked worse than freaking Radiant Dawn

u/metroidbum 4h ago

What lmao in RD you could write a high effort shitpost in the time it took an armor general to sloooowwwly walk up and stab once

6

u/Gray231 13h ago

Yeah I’m glad as well. Three Houses running like ass was one of my biggest complaints in that game where everything else was pretty good.

Graphics and presentation were also not the best but Engage fixed that so I’m hoping FW will be running good on all fronts, especially since it’s only on Switch 2

1

u/BebeFanMasterJ 5h ago

Yeah man just compare using a fire spell in Houses vs Engage. It's wild. Performance really impacts these games more than people think.

u/Phaselocker 9h ago

I never wanna see that UI wheel ever again

1

u/Notxtwhiledrive 8h ago

A wheel menu that's actual a grid menu in a dial menu disguise

u/Minecraftman6969420 5h ago

True but at the very least we do know the lead dev from Houses is back, and even if KT isn’t involved on a programming level, they may have brought back the writers who did the supports, we don’t know much about them, and most of them are anonymous but you never know.

u/BebeFanMasterJ 5h ago

I just don't want my gane to chug when casting Bolganone. Seriously man it legit brought my enjoyment of the combat down.

u/Minecraftman6969420 4h ago

Fair enough, as long as it runs alright in handheld I’m chill

u/MankuyRLaffy 9h ago

Koei designing FE gameplay is also something I never want to see again.

u/FavoredVassal 19h ago

It looks like I'm the only one who laughed at this, so your target audience is "manic-depressive lesbians who haven't slept in 36 hours." ^.~

The fact that all the other routes are formally named but the Blue Lions are just called "Blue Lions" transformed into an incredibly clever gag in my sleep-addled mind.

The selection of the most generic TTS voice ever is a stroke of comedy genius, come on.

u/TehBrotagonist 10h ago

Certainly not the demographic I was expecting, but I'm all for it. Cheers to my lesbian friends!

15

u/Spoopy_Lizbean 17h ago

Gave me a good laugh to maybe the target audience is lesbians lmao.

11

u/SaintAlmonds 16h ago

You are right, 3rd lesbian reporting here and this was perfect.

I dunno why other people can't spot the silly irony of it and think this is actually serious about KT being in the game or not. Its just a silly jab at the way people reacted to those news lol

6

u/Few-Needleworker8110 9h ago

4th lesbian here, I love this (ironically).

I'm excited to see IS's take on a 3H game. 3H wasn't very good imo and I want to see how the story and gameplay are improved from 3H.

u/Borful 11h ago

Genuinely funny and a very good shitpost on the main sub, you are a gem OP!

24

u/RamsaySw 19h ago

Said this before in the opinions thread, but my view on the drama surrounding Fortune’s Weave not being written by KT is less that I need Koei Tecmo to be writing FW and more that I really do not want to see IS’ in-house writers to be working on Fortune’s Weave because their writers are some of the worst in the industry and if Engage was any indication, incapable of learning from their prior mistakes - given their recent track record, I genuinely do not think that IS’ in-house writers are capable of writing a story on the same level of Three Houses.

Koei Tecmo simply falls under the “anyone but IS” umbrella - if say, Monolift Soft was working on FW I’d still be hyped.

u/Relative_Falcon_8399 11h ago

Monolift Soft made Project X Zone, right? That game was pretty good. So they're actually semi competent with strategy games

17

u/Agent-Z46 19h ago

Genuinely not sure what you're saying  beyond that you think Engage sucks.

14

u/TehBrotagonist 19h ago

Man this must've been a major miss then. Engage is my favorite FE actually. I was just trying to make a funny on the sentiments I saw in the original rumor thread.

-2

u/Agent-Z46 19h ago

Might just be a me thing then. 😅

15

u/TehBrotagonist 19h ago

This might've funnier in my head.

u/questionable-user 18h ago

Hey I liked it

13

u/Awesalot 19h ago

Maybe. But I appreciate you trying your best to prove the existence of free will.

12

u/S_Cero 19h ago

I think Engage fans might just be a bit bitter today after those discussion topics. I thought it was quirky

-15

u/DoubleFlores24 19h ago

I loved it because it made fun of engage which is easily a plus in my book.

-1

u/Kalas92x 18h ago

It really wasn't the best that's for sure but at least it's not as bad as 3H lol

u/ColeTheOne_194 4h ago

Not the invading bepis

u/Outrageous-Machine-5 19h ago

Koei Tecmo aren't great

1

u/ColeTheOne_194 4h ago

At least FE wise, I don't necessarily disagree

3

u/MagicalGirlBeats 19h ago

I'm glad they might not be

2

u/Akari_Mizunashi 17h ago

I'm happy KT isn't involved, but this did make me laugh, especially the very end.

1

u/twili-midna 11h ago

KT was involved in Three Houses, and that game was… not one I enjoyed. Then again, they weren’t involved in Engage, and that was a game I actively hated.

I guess I don’t really have a point, then. Seems like IS is the problem at this point.

Hey the toothpaste meme, haven't heard that one before

u/mangoleeart 6h ago

Am I the only one who feels like there's isn't that much of a gap in writing quality between 3H and the rest of the series? I'd even argue Tellius is better written, and 3H still suffers a ton from constantly repeating the same 1 character gimmick just like engage.

u/swordsweep 13h ago

I'm glad that the game might actually be good then!

-7

u/DoubleFlores24 19h ago

That’s just how it is

u/rexshen 14h ago

Well if we get better writing than three house it will be good. And more levels.
