      apparently the leak confirming this game with the cursed screenshot about colgate fire emblem mentioend FE4 being a thing coming late 2023 or early 2024... letting me wonder who's developing it because it needs alot of resources and care to make that game whole and polishing it up. It would be SO funny if Shouzo Kaga from ye ol' FE days of the 90s is back in the buisness again after his Vesparia Saga storyline.

    I know everyone hates the protagonist’s design because lit looks like a Colgate clown but I honestly kinda like it.

      I can't speak for everyone else, but the reason why I don't like the design is because the colours clash really badly, and there doesn't seem to be any explainable reason as to why they have to look like that. It just feels really random for the sake of being random.

      It is Joycon colors and everyone have bad memory of them drifting. Well, it is hard to accept because it is a 'new' direction. I think it is the first time FE use radiant colors for everything. They usually have this grey-ash color filter so the sky is never that shining bright blue.
      It is hard to accept new stuff basically. Not to add how older FE player love their political story while Engage looks anything but that. Impression-wise, the story premise looks like FE Fates so it just rings some bad alarm.

      @@HadeaRin I love how colourful the world and environments are. The visuals are absolutely stunning, in fact. It's just the main character's design that doesn't sit right with me.

      The main design has grown on me but not most of the side characters.

      They have this hair because Alear was evil but he awoke as a good Guy, probably when he find his way as a good guy his hair will turn full blue, you can even see a flashback (or maybe a future since it is possible a bad ending too) where Alear is with a full red in burning ruins

    Glad that it seems the emblems will really only be essential in clearing map hazards. They look like they'll make the game too easy, but if I can choose to only use them in desperate situations that should make the game more challenging and fun.

      Same. It’s like 90% of the new characters have autism, and they’re all v tubers. I adore fire emblem, but the aesthetics are way out of left field. It just doesn’t belong in this franchise. At all. Corrin and Marth are going to try and really carry this game, lmao.
