guzranposting. i think part of what makes him good isn't just the growths, but i also think it's like. how he's set up classwise. if he's a little speed lacking, you can pivot to myrm. if he's a bit str lacking, brigand, but like .he has the capacity for both, easy. incredible.

watching my sister start fortune's weave and honest to god, i forgot cai was supposed to be a spear unit. the last like five chapters of his route were just cai levin sword deathball.

cai route part 1 spoilers // funnier to me than it should be that castor has so many death flags - Fire Emblem Dad, on death row, terminally ill, *named after the twin that dies* and then he lives. like we defied our very loudly telegraphed fate

fw spoilers just learned that a some of the names relating to kunlun are based off of chinese mythology! kunlun is a sacred mountain, and nuwa was the creator deity in chinese mythology! that's really neat

talimun on the mind. i think part of why i find him so 👀is like. fe has done a lot of merchant countries/characters but usually they're irrelevant and often laughable. talimun FEELS like he could be important/like he has a rich life and past that led him here. route pls.

fw spoilers can i say i find it really funny how "put them in the cauldron" has become fandom slang/a fandom joke here. it is just kinda a funny statement. mods! put them in the cauldron

finished one of my big faves so far, esmeralda! what's not t olove? excellent design, great unit, great personality, Love Her So Much

Archie @archestarchie.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
trying to find a name like the ribeira reaper but for esmeralda, since she's one of my best units and just struggling. the fina fighter? marine mangler? crusher cutie? trident tormentor? sinza's slayer?

a complex eeling i have about fw's music is the lord map themes are SO good as themes for vs them that i kinda wish we didn't hear htem for Every skirmish. so they'd stay impactful for vs them. like i wish we had a skirmish map theme like awakening/fates

browsing what classes i could give guzran and realizing he's like the kagetsu of fortune's weave. a unit with *such* ridiculous perosnal growths that most physical classes are a good option for a bonkers unit except you get kagetsu in ch11. you get guzran earlier (w/cai/leda)

Archie @archestarchie.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
going to brigand school to learn strength and ornius school to learn speed and then and only then may i be a competent unit

Archie @archestarchie.bsky.social · 30/09/2026
am working on my third custom fw sprite. i think everyone who gave engage shit for overcomplication but loves fw's designs is a bit hypocritical/isn't doing fanart of it beccause i am STRUGGLING over here. i think we could use slightly less complicated patterns

Archie @archestarchie.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
oh also. i may still sorta have 3h fatigue. but an area where i will NEVER have 3h fatigue is the music like the ost is still so good. almost all the map themes are total bangers. shoutout to three final map themes and all of them being fantastic

requesting a few kind thoughts, if i may. had to put a pet down today. it was for the best, and he's no longer suffering, but...in the present, everything just hurts.

playing dressmaker so i can learn how to design dresses so i can put my blorbos in incredible dresses but i suck at the budgeting part of it so my customers are throwing rocks at me and i'm like please...i just want to learn dress design and outfit names...

having a classic fe experiene (yang jie being near useles on cai route adn then lcoking the fuck in on dietrich route to the point of outshining fabio like crazy. currently has 28 mag/21 speed. where were you in cai route)
020
Archie @archestarchie.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
i'm gonna be honest with y'all. i like dietrich a lot when i did not like jeritza and some of that is definitely that dietrich has superior voice acting.

Archie @archestarchie.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
seeing a bit of fw inspired fe3h discoure and getting reminded of why i hate fe3h discourse! only in this fandom will you see 'actually this is why genocide is ok if it's against the right people' or 'the compassionate thing to do for mentally ill people is kill them'

Archie @archestarchie.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
comparing fe characters to pokemon as an expression of how they play

Archie @archestarchie.bsky.social · 26/09/2026
fw spoilers but ou've likely seen it. i wasn't expecting dietrich to just canonically be bisexual. like to have a line about man or woman not mattering in a. very. romantic. support with another man
030
Archie @archestarchie.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
ranting off main. can i say my least favorite strand of 3h discourse is anything about homophobic rhea. like you are talking about a bisexual woman + i feel like the only source ever given is projecting the catholic church onto her, which is not what i'd call good media analysis.

"she gets in the way of the yaoi" man that must be some fragile yaoi if it can't withstand the presence of a woman

i think this is the worst miscolored monstrosity i've ever made. but! got my first four fefw edits i wanna do on paper! judge me by who i thought was first proirity haha

Archie @archestarchie.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
oh also sincerity mode ffor a sec. i think esmeralda is one of my FW faves so far? like she juxtaposes fabio and dietrich well, she's a great unit with a great design, and i love how sincere adn down-to-earth she feels as she sees the world beyond her little village
1160
Archie @archestarchie.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
concept: team dietrich on the teatime banner. fabio and esmeralda are a duo who both could enjoy this a lot were they not stuck together. dietrich is a solo unit who is having the time of his fucking life eating sweets.
050
Archie @archestarchie.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
seeing the fe gay powerscaling lineup and immediately coming to the realization that some of the most important characters to get kid me to relaize he wasn't straight were. well. bi. legault was a HUGE one for the heath supports + lloyd battle convo

Archie @archestarchie.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
can i say i'm enjoying mikaela as a character? like i am enjoying that it feels like she's Mom but laso like. a full person with her own history and needs and conflicted feelings iwth having had to quit her job to become a mom

Archie @archestarchie.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
had what fel tlike a dietrich canon experience of going to a sidequest marker, then immediately getting disappointed that it didn't involve any combat
030
Archie @archestarchie.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
made a fortune's weave diagram of lowest renown for each individual character, per route! the little letter in the corner for everyone is second-best route! that way, if you have a fave and want to make them good, these are the routes to focus on!
072
Archie @archestarchie.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
wanna do a fe tier list since everyoneis doing them but . can i trust y'all to undersatnd that when i put CQ into 'bad story good gameplay' what i really mean is 'story could have been great but had to deal with the one-two punch of horrible localizatoin + misleading marketing

Archie @archestarchie.bsky.social · 24/09/2026
At this rate im gonna start counting it by routes ive cleared with no five stars. 1.3 routes, still nothing

Trying to get ref pics for everyone so now my photo reel is full of people awkwardly staring

Archie @archestarchie.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
do y'all think they made fabio to appeal to the hubert fans. because it's working. it's abosluley working.
020
Archie @archestarchie.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
other FW first route highlights were watching the unkillable guzran promote and then immediately trash a few armors. without effective weaponry or anything. i don't think he's told a lie in his life he really is #thatguy
030
Archie @archestarchie.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
finished my first FW route, cai! v fun route overall, it takes some doing getting used to the battle system but i think i really figured it out! cai was a MONSTER for me by the end...30+ str/spd, 25+mag/def, and 22 res. the cutest little deathball you ever did see
020
Archie @archestarchie.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
rambling a bit. i think i hate how twt uses "anti-art" these days bc it feels like it's being used the same way "no media literacy" was - as a way of calling someone who disagrees with you stupid. whie also positoining The Original thing as beyond criticism
230
Archie @archestarchie.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
doing a dagda feh banner concept but it's JUST characters who woudl be super unfitting in the new calss outfits. like putting virion in this bad boy so he can show us the muscles a nobleman like him definitely has
0191
Archie @archestarchie.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
anyways having taken as many class outfits as i can rn (i'm not gonna be able to have a full catalogue till i finish the game...aha...), can i say i think FW has the strongest like. aesthetic sensibility? of the switch fe's so far. like there's a cohesive overarching design sense
110
Archie @archestarchie.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
oh also credit wher eit's due, i think somehwere all switch fe's have knocked out is the promoted mage look. v differne takes, but i think all of them have some real merit to them/look really nice! extra props to being VERY different from the old look too!
130
Archie @archestarchie.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
doing some early 3h-fortune's weave class outfit comparisons, and i think one of the most aggressive shifts is the magic classes. i think the male ones are a straight up upgrade, where the female ones are sidegrades but i personally really like/prefer FW's girl mage designs
040
Archie @archestarchie.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
me, trying to ship post while intensely fe brainrotted: can a Life and Death bf and a Fury 3 bf possibly reach support rank A...
020
Archie @archestarchie.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
oh also. feh rambling. can i say i feel like the sacae banner is a cut above the "x tribe" banners? like the outfits feel better and more coherently designed to me. imo it's the best one of this slot we've gotten (though i also like teatime which i thiiiink was around now?)
260
Archie @archestarchie.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
oh also ONE LAST bit of fwposting. i think one of the thing si love about them is that not a single person here is normal. got some supports and got to learn one character is over 300. and another is 1. year old.
140
Archie @archestarchie.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
one last bit of fwposting. if 3h felt transparently inspired by persona then fw does feel transparently inspired by octopath, but i do think it does a better job of squaring that with FE identity? like cross-protag interaction is better so far
041
Archie @archestarchie.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
oh also for fw. i wish the animal names were not limited to 8 characters. i gave cai an ornius named drumstik and esmeralda a horse named seabreze. i'm suffering.
020
Archie @archestarchie.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
fwposting. anyways is it too soon to say that 'the TRUE hero' thing about eshmel was bad marketing. like they needed to tell us but i'm halfway through cai's route and i cannot stress enough how barely present eshmel is. the routes do NOT care about them nearly at all
230
Archie @archestarchie.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
it's fun seeing the diversity of FW influences. i've spotted megaira and alecto forts, which are the furies from greek mythology, and megrez and benetnasch, which are two stars of the big dipper! reminds me of how 3h had king lear names for the deer
040
Archie @archestarchie.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
i think fw is reigniting my love of seteth... i'm THIS clos eto reruiting him...
