It's basically an tool for exploration, as far as I can tell. Might get retooled into a 3-way war. But I doubt if IntSys has it in them to make an grand strategy game
Honestly, the bar it has to clear is Engage, which I beat out of spite by listening to a podcast to not want to kill myself by paying to the actual writing. I'm still not sure how we lowered the bar from Fates, but here we are.
Typing that, it does seem IS goes "Good Entry, Bad Entry", so who knows, we might be due a Good FE. Yeah yeah give me Rainbows, but the bar is low.

Engage had some good parts!
1. I liked Alear as the main Lord. (Way better than Byleth anway.)
2. I liked Alcryst's conversation with his zombie dad.
3. I honestly liked Sombron's death. Dying an undignified death hallucinating your only friend as your two children who hate you look on with pity/disgust.
I'm right after the part when you recruit Lindon. And so far, it quickly went from being just standard fare to absolute cringe.
As far as Alear goes, it's kind of interesting how much he hates the rampant dicksucking. But I'd expect a little bit more anger behind on his journey to save the world. Of course, I'm a little bit before the part when shit gets real.
So far, it just feels like nostalgia-slop than anything else.
The writing and character designs in engage were horrible but gameplay is good. FE has rarely been about the story so it’s not really a big deal to me.
Sacred Stones’ plot is basic, but the twins and Lyon have good character arcs, and its length and simplicity make it a fun, breezy playthrough every couple of years.
I’ve definitely got some nostalgia bias because it was my first FE and
even back when it was new, the Western fanbase was full of loud, painfully autistic NEETs who’d sperg out over the most inconsequential things imaginable. Back then, all the Big Names in the fandom hated on it for being shorter and easier than Blazing Blade. So if you were a kid and wandered into to ask why Tana dies so easily when she joins you, why do people like her (remember, this was before FEH and every woman in the games having swimsuit alts where a Japanese porn artist drew them with tits bigger than their heads) unemployable losers 10+ years older than you would jump down your throat over basically nothing. Localization autism abounded, too, and people would get incredibly bitchy over vital matters such as whether you called the dragon people Manaketes or Mamkutes, but I think Heroes killed a lot of that off.
People assess SS way more fairly now, but you can still pop into a fan discord that replaced the olden forums, and a fortysomething spaz will not be able to restrain xerself from whining about how it’s easy and therefore boring and a waste of time if you bring it up.
Just downloaded the randomizer, gonna give it a whirl.

FE has always had a waifu-bent to it. Honestly I'm convinced that most of the griping SS had against it was just because a lot of Blazing Blade fans were just Lynfags.
The armor knights were already wearing ridiculously large suits of plate back in the Kaga Era Ver archivo adjunto 9130261
Then they started wearing their shield as a chest piece during the GBA Era. Ver archivo adjunto 9130294
The Kozaki games gave them that weird armor hood to make the generics faceless. Ver archivo adjunto 9130292
Honestly, it can't get worse than it already was
I may have been somewhat harsh in regards to the GBA armor knights. While their armor is still bulky, it doesn't look quite as bad in official art where they have the shield off. Here's Blazing Blade's Oswin for reference:
And here's Binding Blade's Gwendolyn, who serves as the only art for a female armor knight in the GBA games:
They are definitely designed to look like the “big guys” of the team with their plate, especially by comparison of cavaliers, who also serve as knights but wear lighter armor to show that they aren't quite as tough. Blazing Blade's Kent for reference:

I should also amend my earlier statement that only Tellius got armor aesthetically right - so did Valentia. But to be fair Valentia has the best character art in FE as a whole.

I will generally agree to that sentiment. I also think that 3 Houses had reasonably good-looking classes, though the Fortress Knights did look a little too heavily armored.

It could have been a lot worse, considering what Awakening and Fates did to them. But their shoulder guards and armored skirt is what kills off their design. At least the Fortress Knights got a stylized shield out of it, which isn't much but it's awesome compared to the what the Great Knight is kitted out with.
