I’m Enjoying Fire Emblem More By Not Playing Fire Emblem More

Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave has some of the best tactical gameplay in the series to date, but actually digging into the art of seeing units bonk each other on the head in turn-based combat is a massive slog. Between a shift to Persona-like storytelling and a laundry list of chores, the game can feel like the equivalent of the Achilles and the tortoise paradox (via a Jujutsu Kaisen breakdown), because the closer I get to actually moving the story forward, the further I feel I am from actually engaging in some of that fantastic warfare. And that's a shame, because Fortune's Weave is a really great evolution of the core Fire Emblem gameplay experience. The tactics game has more nuance to its rock-paper-nuns-with-guns formula in this entry, the jobs system offers more variety, and the unique tools at each Flame Lord's disposal make each one a force to be reckoned with.
