Gameplay PSA for all new players: Don’t drink and Fire Emblem

Especially on classic. Your divine sand will whittle away like a sandstone cliff over millennia in the desert. You’ll discover unfounded confidence that a 49% would never hit your unit. And when that strike inevitably falls, you’ll find yourself sans sand while facing the final boss.

Anyways… RIP Dante. I’ll miss you, but I’m not restarting this fucking chapter.

Fortune's Weave General How far along do you think the sub lords routes were done before getting cut and relegated to dlc?

I am going to be honest I think they were pretty far considering talimuns voice actor said he recorded lines for it on tiktok. Which likely means they are releasing late winter early spring 2027

Fortune's Weave Story Fun fact: its basically canon that M!Eshmel can get pregnant

168 Upvotes

So, I'm not spoiler tagging this post because it is made clear within like the first 5 min of the game that Eahmel is an artificial human.

There exists in the game highly optional, and non-story important documents that say the specific type of such that Eshmel is is given "a variety of methods of reproduction". These can also come into play in the event of a sole survivor. Which in term means things like Mitosis or immaculate conception.

Some may have also noticed that this pretty much means that F!Eshmel can very likely get someone else pregnant as well. This all means the same deal extends to Anatolia.

Why did IS feel the need to add such deranged lore to this game? Who knows. What I do know is that artists and fanfic writers definitely needed to learn about this.

Fortune's Weave Gameplay Some gifts seem to inherently give more support regardless of how liked they are

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

76 Upvotes

Something interesting I found while testing gifts. In this video I first try giving Esmeralda the Ginji Cervi, which she really likes, however it is not enough to raise her support to the next level. I then reload, and gift her the Strategy Manuscript instead, which she only likes, but is somehow enough to level up her support.

To me this implies that the Strategy Manuscript has some sort of inherent bonus value as a gift regardless of how liked it is. I've also noticed on other gift guides that certain gifts seem to be more universally popular, like the Pegasus Panorama, the Portrait of Yu Phas, or the Eastern gifts, which makes me wonder if the same effect is happening with those as well. Has anyone else noticed a discrepancy like this with other gifts?

I made the spear itself out of wood and hand-wrapped the handle with exactly 100 feet of paracord. I only know it was exactly 100’ because I was shocked the 100’ roll I bought covered exactly the entire thing. It’s about 8’ long in total, I’m not exactly sure if I got that dimension correct as I loosely based it off of in game screenshots. Can’t wait for someone to figure out how to rip models from this game as there are a lot more weapons I want to make!

Fortune's Weave Spoiler The most evil character in all of Fire Emblem? Spoiler

72 Upvotes

Its Dagda. I'm making this post cause of Dagda. I don't think any other Fire Emblem character has ever reached this level of evil in both intent and magnitude.

Dagda:

- Desires to overthrow the Progenitor God, his own mother

- Is literally Genghis Khan except less benevolent cause he intentionally erased both the culture and history of other populations during his conquest

- Desires to genocide all of Saramis

- Pillaged his own citizens during the war

- Killed Solel, his own son, who was literally responsible for reviving his father

- Turned Dagsion into a diverse melting pot of a city

- And to top it off he r@ped his sons wife in exchange for sparing the people of the white egg 😟

I haven't played all Fire Emblem games, but of the ones I have played all the villains have some form of redeeming quality/tragic backstory. Of those who don't, they tend to be generic world domination villains with no explicit evilness. Dagda on a whole other level.

Casual Which Fire Emblem lord could lift Thor's hammer (Mjolnir)?

Post image
25 Upvotes

I've been thinking about which Fire Emblem protags would actually be worthy of lifting Mjolnir from the Thor Comics/films. (Been reading a lot of Thor comics lately)

Personally, I think Ike, Marth, and Sigurd would be some of the strongest candidates. Ike especially seems like someone who could lift it without even realizing what makes him worthy.

I also think Dimitri would be an interesting case. I could see him being worthy at the beginning of Three Houses, losing that worthiness during his descent into vengeance, and eventually becoming worthy again after his redemption.

Hector is another character I'd consider, mainly because his personality reminds me a lot of Thor himself.

What do you guys think? Who would be worthy and who wouldn't?

General Spoiler Go to the final door without clearing any main arc

Post image
786 Upvotes

I highly recommend that everyone try opening the final door before finishing the second arc of any route, just to see what happens. You can even play through a bit of the main story battle!
(I’d recommend reaching at least Chapter 3 of the second arc first, though, so you have a better idea of what’s going on.)

Not only will you get yelled by doing so, but the enemies also seem genuinely confused, like, “Wait… huh? Just the three of you?”
And if you lose, the game literally push you out of the door.

Fortune's Weave General Part 3 with only one route completed is some of the best fire emblem I've played in a long time

46 Upvotes

I'm an old player of the series, have been here since the GBA days and have played most games released on the west (didn't play radiant dawn, fates and engage). 3H is my favorite game maybe ever for the replayability, I love trying stupid builds on my favorite units, and thus have cleared it some 6 or 7 times.

Like many here I see many flaws in FW, but I also see a game made with passion and many experimental things. I've cleared part 3 twice at this point, once with all 4 routes done and one with only Leda done. This second time, I've barely left Dagsion most of the game, just kept doing auto-activities one week at a time for money, materials and went for training. I only left when I needed specific materials to trade at Vandahl's and getting some loot I knew I wanted).

Part 3 is SO DAMN HARD if you have cleared only one route. Your units are underpowered, you don't have enough units for the big stages. You don't have enough materials to repair your weapons, nor enough money to buy things. The battles are amazing. I've struggled so hard to defeat some bosses, as I couldn't ko them in 1 turn and pretty much all of my units got 1hkoes by it. And while I'm not a fan of the "defend dagsion" sections in part 3, doing it with only 14-15 good units made me split my party in 5 groups of 5, with 2 or 3 good units and some serviceable ones I've found. It felt really cool!

If you're looking for a chalenge, this is a good one!
