Early players praise Fortune's Weave but debate its difficulty

gamingSep 20, 202651459

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave has just launched and players are celebrating its story and presentation while arguing over core systems. Many praise the game's gorgeous cutscenes and a mostly nonwhite cast, and several posts center on character moments such as a Sirocco-like lecher-with-a-heart-of-gold figure and the devious Yang Jie, whose recruitment hinges on solving three riddles. Players are split on gameplay: some describe the combat as too easy, others say a first main match handed them their ass, and several users call out the heavy early pacing, tutorial overload, and the board-game style free time that shifts the game toward economy management. Amid those debates, a steady thread of enthusiasm comes through as people juggle routes, character choices, and whether to play on harder modes.

one thing I really like in fortunes weave that they brought over from 3h is just dumping all the characters on you very early on and letting you choose who to work towards recruiting it works so well still

I chose Cai because I felt he was the perfect lord to ease myself into the world. 8 chapters in and I love my Ribiera trio 😭 If anything happens to these kids I’m killing everyone and then myself

refreshing: this rpg has majority black main characters i dunno if the weird sorta fiction racisms a thing in-game yet but i mean 3H world-building is 90% race wars so

Seeing more diversity in the cast made me sooo much more hyped for it tbh!!

As a guy who is LOVING Fortunes Weave, I do have just ONE non-spoiler criticism: The pacing at the start is rough and it takes a bit longer than I'd like to get to the meat of the game. Plus, once you do, SO MUCH info is dumped on you all at once. Other than that, this game is fantastic so far!

trying to go from kcd2, a game that very much is about letting you learn as you go along and develop from your mistakes, to fortunes weave where i have been dying under an avalanche of tutorial and exposition for hours now, sure is an experience

one thing about fortune's weave (which i imagine will become less of an issue as i keep playing) is that there's a push and pull between having a lot of things to do, but not too many things to do which is maybe more important.

Probably won’t have any fully formed Fortune’s Weave thoughts for a while, but I’m starting to dig the idea that you’re managing an entire economy more than an army. Approaches a grand strategy kind of focus on resource harvesting. Honestly think they could push it even further.

It's time to go back to my roots with starting a new Fire Emblem game. I used to stream FE all the time back in the day. I'm excited to try out this new one! Will it be as good as the rest? Find out here : twitch.tv/miaguwu #vtuber #envtuber #fireemblem #fortunesweave
