The xenologue is brutal because it kind of expects you to have semi-min maxed units and take full advantage of all the DLC bracelets, it was the final wave of DLC after all. They made a pretty big mistake in terms of allowing people to play it at any time, it really should only have been available AFTER all units are available in the plot or something. I'm sure a lot of people jumped into it early which would have led to a lot of frustration. Something I really wish they had done was fully commit to the set builds and given the player completely custom units with set bond ranks and skills to lean into the puzzle emblem vibe that it sometimes gives off, if you've reclassed units in the main game and built their skills around that they're then pretty useless in the xenologue when they get swapped back to their "intended" class . You're also suffering from missing a bunch of units if any are dead so you don't get their items to choose from in preps. I actually like a lot of the ideas they had and think they were really close to having something good here, the final map on maddening for example is one of the most brutally fun concepts in the entire series imo and really asks the player to use everything they know about the game to succeed. The xenologue in general was just let down by a few annoying mistakes in its design but I really do think they were close to having something special here.

In all seriousness, I like the DLC Fell Xenologue concept and the cool idea to have a story based on an parellel world. It just that there are a lot of things they could have done to make the Fell Xenologue a bit better.
Personally I think this DLC is decent, it makes me wish they used this plot instead of the plot of the main game... But man, the last map... That's an unreasonably difficult map, I want to see Mangs opinion of it
Well, that was brutal. but good to know you're coming back to it, at least in Hard difficulty. The new classes look cool for player use though. Next stream, don't forget to unequip Nil to give him more speed.
Fun fact: Zephia's Growths are almost the same as Camilla's, which makes her one of the best units in Engage. There's kinda a funny reason she shares Camilla's growths could be a coincidence though. 😊 Also after seeing the CYL results, it's clear to me all the real Fire Emblem fans left. Getting no wroting OCs and fake fire emblem characters like Tsubasa in 5th place is very telling. Or potentially botted or staged results.
Story for this xenologue was ok I guess. Better than main game imo (the bar is very low). I played this shit on hard though and oh boy the new dlc units sucks on this difficulty if you don't get their skills first
My bad @Mangs I was the only one who suggested on giving Zelestia Emblem Leif, I thought he gave A rank everything, Swapping items after attacking in Player phase or Charm. I've never played Engage😔
Okay, what were they thinking when designing Nil? I know lorewise he should be weak but like, just have him have low atk, not just make him as sturdy as wet paper lol. (Also, not related but i prefer to re-say it here, if, in the RD CMU, I was actually picked as a replacement of Jarod, i've actually found a better build that would only work in act 4. So just replace me with someone else and hope my long game works out lol, sorry for the bother (if I was even picked lol)).
To be fair I believe this is on mad so I think the enemies arent as strong on hard or normal And its probably "balanced" around normal since I heard the dlc is extra tough on hard/mad Conceptually hes basically a lot like micaiah where you have a liability that has to be deployed
On a retroperspective, yeah. They could have design Nil to be somewant more tanky with little bit of def and con. Other than that, I think the Devs made him weak solely for the reason hes a dragon unit
Grandpa plays his first fire emblem dlc in a decade 😭

I played it post game and it's still badly balanced... all the dlc units are deadweight and everyone else is nerfed to the ground

R.I.P Chat Member Mangs (2025-2025). Press F in the comments guys 😔
Sorry, but I just cut away the first 12:09 of this stream so your timestamps are invalid
@@Mangs1337Aw. RIP Channel Member Mbangs :(
But I will fix the timestamps after the cut, no worries.
Mangs is gonna HATE Nil even more than he already does when....."you know what"..happens.
27:17 reminder that Engage uses 1rn when at 50% hit and under
It’s crazy how good evil Alear’s design is compared to normal Alear. Went from a tube of crest to a decently designed character :p
In all seriousness, I like the DLC Fell Xenologue concept and the cool idea to have a story based on an parellel world. It just that there are a lot of things they could have done to make the Fell Xenologue a bit better.
Your chat is incapable of not trying to spoil the dlc. Whether in story or letting you discover the gameplay mechanics and twists for yourself.
To quote a wise man, "and then it got worse." *it's always sunny theme*
guessing by the outlook on this so far mangs is probably regretting this DLC playthrough
Dude u have to unequip revanche to give him more speed
I hope you keep playing. I just about collapsed a lung from the Nil moments
Personally I think this DLC is decent, it makes me wish they used this plot instead of the plot of the main game... But man, the last map... That's an unreasonably difficult map, I want to see Mangs opinion of it
Didn't think Mangs would touch this DLC.
Map 3, my beloved it
Well, that was brutal. but good to know you're coming back to it, at least in Hard difficulty. The new classes look cool for player use though.
Next stream, don't forget to unequip Nil to give him more speed.
W stream, I enjoyed the pain and suffering 😁
Is it just me or a full 10 minutes of the VOD are gone ? Timestamps goes up to 4:17:46 but the video is 4:07:52 long
Egg had to cut the intro. New timestamps are almost finished.
Edit: They're now finished.
@@Thalzo Thanks
I really enjoyed these engage streams lol
Hopefully we get a FE remake soon to watch you play

1:37:25 "I like learning from failure."
Mangs should play Dwarf Fortress some time.
Story for this xenologue was ok I guess. Better than main game imo (the bar is very low). I played this shit on hard though and oh boy the new dlc units sucks on this difficulty if you don't get their skills first
My bad @Mangs I was the only one who suggested on giving Zelestia Emblem Leif, I thought he gave A rank everything, Swapping items after attacking in Player phase or Charm. I've never played Engage😔
Legend
the "one guy" and "bruh" moment lol
This is why he shouldn’t copy chat and use his own strategies for once…
Leif making anyone into a Master Knight would actually be pretty damn sick for an Emblem ability ngl.
Why are you trying to give advice when you've never played? 😂
Okay, what were they thinking when designing Nil? I know lorewise he should be weak but like, just have him have low atk, not just make him as sturdy as wet paper lol.

Fell Xenologue has some high points, the music and boss conversations are all really cool. But the actual gameplay and story are ultra rough days
As bad as everyone said? Yeah that's my experience with Engage alright.
Engage gameplay carries it at least. Unlike 3H...
