Easy is very easy according to most previews and they're walking through new systems even for old players with the monastery, so i would say this is very accessible.
Awesome! I don't remember hearing Roy's song before and it's great
I don't know if I want it to be very easy. I just want to be able to easily understand how all the mechanics work, because when I watch the gameplay there are some pretty dense menus and stuff. I'm just hoping it doesn't assume you already know how to play Fire Emblem games.
I kinda hit respond to fast. Here was the second part that i edited in after.
"and they're walking through new systems even for old players with the monastery, so i would say this is very accessible."
Looking forward to this so much, but i hope the small text does not ruin the experience for me (i think i will be playing primarily undocked).
If you're new to the series I'd generally recommend starting on normal in order to get a feel for the mechanics and series conventions. Even the easier games can get nasty if you don't know what you're doing. But between being able to lower difficulty and turn back time, you'd probably be okay starting on hard.
From what I've seen, it does a good job with tutorials.
If you don't want the game to be a cakewalk, try Normal/Classic. I'm guessing a lot of reviewers are doing Normal/Casual, and Casual greatly reduces the need to play strategically. Nothing against Casual mode or those who use it of course, but if you want the game to have some bite to it... Classic's probably the way to go. And don't let the notion of permadeath intimidate you, it really isn't that hard to keep your units alive, especially with the ability to undo some mistakes without needing to completely reset.
I'll be playing classic/normal.
I'm not god awful, but conquest brutalized me. I got very far in, starting on hard (Because Awakening classic/normal was a complete joke), and being forced to drop to normal at chapter 8, then being forced to drop to casual around chapter 20, and then finally throwing my hands up at 23. I mean, I knew conquest was meant to be the harder of the 2, but fuck me I was so unprepared.
Depending on reviews, I MIGHT try classic/hard again, if it's not as brutal as conquest.

I am pretty new to FE myself and the tutorials are pretty thourough and well put. You shouldn't have any problems. Also very beginner friendly. But I am at the 1st real mission for now.
I'm expecting big things from the review thread when I click on it tomorrow
Aren't there going to be growth modifiers from the classes?
Edit: Never mind, they already data mined the class growth rates.

It might not have been updated with them, there are class growths
Today and the first half of tomorrow are going to be torture. I really want to play Three Houses. Unfortunately the shop I ordered it from never breaks street date so I'm forced to wait.
Still think this will do MC 90 at best. Due to the nature of the system, i'd expect reviewers to be harsher on the technical issues of the game, compared to the 3DS entries. I could also see the completely different paths with no obvious "canon" ending rubbing some people the wrong way.
Interesting that your Byleth has at least their professor level moving over into NG+. This might change how i tackle the different routes.
Will probably go BE 1 -> BL -> GD -> BE 2 ... or in spoilers
I see i'm not alone with this and Poodlestrike, Ianoi and Xavi are people of culture, too. ^^

Black Eagles Church -> BL -> GD -> Black Eagles Edelgard

No joke, there will be some concern trolling if it gets even like, mid 80's or some.I'm expecting big things from the review thread when I click on it tomorrow
More so if it ends up even slightly lower than that.
I know only one FE title, Awakening, has ever achieved 90+ but I can see this one being the most highly appraised modern FE title. Even if this doesn't translate to the highest mc and ends up in 87-89 range which is still great.
The last chapter is traditionally a shitshow, I wouldn't worry too much about it if that is where hard got too hard for you. You should still pick Hard.
a) You can just drop the difficulty midgame if you want.
b) The turnwheel really helps mitigating the small fuckups you end up with on those 40min crazy maps at the end of Fire Emblem usually, making it much more bearable. (My experience with Echoes, where I ended up cheesing the last map with Teleport, lol.)
Just got my limited edition, it's time.
What a beauty.
I have opted for instore pick-up unfortunately, and I have to wait for my order notification to arrive before I can pick it up.
Thanks. Any particular reason they are breaking the street date?
Hmm, maybe I'll be able to get one after work :thinkingemoji:
Edit:
It's France man. We behead kings. Breaking a street date is nothing :p
Edit: More seriously it's usually because of shops competition (when one "drops" it the others follow) and just, we don't really care that much. If the shop got the goods, might as well put them on the shelves.
The copies are not on the shelves. However when you preorder online, they always have it on day in advance for instore pick-ups.
Hahaha, fair enough. Fuck I hate the uptight stores in the Netherlands. The game is out in the wild, just let me pay for it and play it. I ordered it for pick up, but they probably won't let me pick it up today. I will still give it a shot during my lunch break though.
Ah ok, it's the usual then. I'll still "take a walk" after work though :p
So, are the class specific clothing only worn when out in the field?
I hear I can make ♀Byleth wear less shit clothing with (Ugh) DLC, is the DLC clothing only active in the academy?

Okay guys i'm pretty blind on this game, didn't watch much footage or read much infos, I usually go with female characters in rpgs if I have the choice. I just want to know one thing before I go female, will I be able to romance Edelgard? 🤔
Iirc then yes, female Byleth is able to romance Edelgard among 4 others. Though i don't now atm if their support ends up platonic.
Oh and ... i think you can only romance Edelgard in one of the Black Eagles storylines. Not in all others.

Bol.com delivered it yesterday. Some Dutch stores are really early with this one actually. If only I hadn't preordered it digitally, haha.
Yeah, I figured I would order it for store pick up so I could play during my commute back. Now I wish I ordered it for delivery. Ahh well, I will have a chat at the store this afternoon.
I was planning to go Black Eagles first so that's fine, thank you!
Also, can we romance multiple people or only one person?
