If someone had told me before Fortune's Weave released that Dietrich's route was gonna be the gay route I would have laughed in their face. I'll eat crow on that one. I misread his whole deal so badly.

My first Fire Emblem was Path of Radiance, which is available on GameCube NSO. I haven't played the NSO version so I don't know if it has any quirks, but I loved it and it started my love of the series. If you're cool with some older game jank, it has probably my favorite narrative in the series.

Older Fire Emblem games are chapter-based visual novels with tactics battles in between. Shorter, more authored, less focus on freedom and choice in favor of a very designed experience. Awakening on 3DS is a good first game for newcomers, if you have access to a 3DS and a way to get 3DS games.

Good question! I think it depends somewhat on what kind of experience you are looking for. Three Houses is a great entry point but is very different from classic Fire Emblem and feels closer to Persona Except With Tactics. It's probably the most accessible (modern console, game is on the market).

Adventure Rules @adventurerules.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
All the best parts of the game - the mechanical complexity, the most authored and compelling map design, the character interactions that are more than surface level - are hidden behind tedium. And I don't blame a single person who bails because of the tedium.

I'm having a lot of fun reading the perspectives of people who are getting tired of Fortune's Weave. I'm having a blast with it but I've spent the whole game thinking "man if you're not a sicko this game is ROUGH."

Been playing through Leda's route in Fortune's Weave
A picture of the character Mu from Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave. She is a small, 14 year old girl with messy red hair in a green boy's tunic.A meme image that looks like a series of survey statements with a Likert scale. The statements say: I will protect it; I want to see it grow up healthy; I want to tell my friends and neighbors about it. The bubble for Strongly Agree has been checked for all three statements.

Have I played “Control Resonant”? Sorry…I’m too busy reading the story of a man who “Controls Rocinante”…that’s right, Miguel Cervantes’ immortal tale “Don Quixote de La Mancha”. So you enjoy your strange “Federal Bureau”…I’ll be delighting in the adventures of Sancho Panza and his “Friendly Burro”

Man Fortune's Weave really wants to hide the paralogue battles. "This quest only exists for three days and doesn't open until two days after the start of a free time, so you're probably on the road traveling to the quests you COULD see when the chapter started. Good luck!"

Panel 3: Guy 2 calls up to the creepy ghost, “you wanna hoop?” Panel 4: the ghost is outside playing basketball with them. She bricks a shot from the free throw line. Guy 2 says, “that’s H-O-R.”

Two panel comic. Panel 1: two sharks are sitting in a cafe. A smaller shark holding a teacup says discreetly to the other, “okay, look at this couple behind you - but don’t make it obvious.” Panel 2: the other shark, a Great White shark, turns its gigantic head in the most obvious way possible to look across the room at some sharks chatting at another table.

wizard interview
PANEL 1: A shirtless tattooed wizard in sweatpants walking to a mobile home. WIZARD: "What's this now?"
PANEL 2: Wizard in closeup. WIZARD: "Problem is most people have tangled up their idea of wizardry with a pastoral never-was England."
PANEL 3: Wizard in medium shot, smoking. WIZARD: "But, well, Indiana needs wizards, too. An' maybe it ain't the worst thing in the world if we had more wizards who c'n change the oil in a car."
PANEL 4: Close up side view of the wizard's face, still smoking. WIZARD: "Like ev'rybody *loves* Gandalf. But Gandalf'll never teach a local kid how to shoplift baby formula to help his momma."
PANEL 5: Wizard in medium shot, looking down. WIZARD: "Nah, people don't like magic around. Reminds 'em they *could* have a different way of doing things than the one that hurts em so bad, an' lotsa folks can't handle that."

It's so frustrating because it's not even that I'm not making progress, it's that I'm not progressing as fast or as much as I wanted to in the amount of time I've invested in exercising. Truly shareholder brained shit, mad at not having progress that was completely theoretical in the first place.

Love that my brain's reaction to "I'm not making the progress I want" when it comes to my physical health is to throw the progress I have made away. Very functional brain, works great, so glad I got this one instead of any of the other ones.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a horseshoe crab watches as a variety of prehistoric creatures swim towards an ethereal light. An ammonite calls back to the crab, “come on, horseshoe crab! We’re all evolving!” Panel 2: the horseshoe crab stays in position and replies, “nahh that’s crazy” Panel 3: the horseshoe crab is superimposed in front of a future premonition: a rather miserable-looking human slouched in the glow of a desktop computer. The horshoe crab swims away and says, “good luck tho”
