Jake Haas @jakehahaha.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I am 160 hours into this game and am still being introduced to new mechanics that tie into characters and resources that I’ve invested in since the start of the game. Literally, new tutorial windows popping up at 160 hours in! This is not a “quick look” experience, and that includes 30 of playtime 260

Jake Haas @jakehahaha.bsky.social · 01/10/2026If you’re trying to rush through FW, or trying to make it click for you, I strongly suggest reconsidering that. This game is staggering in how much it rewards your investment and patience, maybe more than any other single game I’ve played If it clicks for you then it is the definition of payoff 250

Reposted by Jake HaasGiovanni Colantonio @marioprime.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Okay yeah on reflection, I have determined that I am not joking here. Fabio’s actor is doing so much to make this weirdo a clear and faraway standout in a game with like 100 characters. A uniquely bizarre performance delivered with the seriousness of a Shakespeare actor. Shit rocks. 7607
Jake Haas @jakehahaha.bsky.social · 29/09/2026For any moots playing or planning on starting Fortune’s Weave, here’s a really nice spoiler free (Act 1 only) chart showing who you can recruit in each path, the required support level for them and what renown you need. Recommend using this to plan out who you want for each path! 4193
Jake Haas @jakehahaha.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Dietrich’s route finished. Liked it more than I was expecting and would currently put it at a tie with Leda’s path as my favorite. Really love how much they lean into comedy for his character. Now let’s wrap up Act 1 with the queen herself 💪🏼👸🏼 160

Jake Haas @jakehahaha.bsky.social · 28/09/2026The potential to make absolutely busted units in Fortune’s Weave is insane. Some really interesting stat stuff being discovered. Might actually give Maddening difficulty a shot when they eventually release that because it should be possible to build a pretty broken final act team. 070
Jake Haas @jakehahaha.bsky.social · 28/09/2026"Random encounters give RPGs friction" Friction isn't an on/off button! It's not a precise amount of a single ingredient that you can just add to any recipe! Context matters! Nuance matters! I know that's super unsexy, nerd glasses emoji stuff, but it's true. 3111
Jake Haas @jakehahaha.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Time for the quirky and kinky adventures of Dietrich, Fabio and their Brazilian Miku third wheel 060
Jake Haas @jakehahaha.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I will say that I enjoyed Leda’s path a lot more than Cai’s, which felt more like a tutorial AND more tedious due to certain mechanics. Cai is a cool little dude though, and there were some surprisingly touching moments her and there! Plus his Blaze Art is pretty busted (and fun) 080
Jake Haas @jakehahaha.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I have played a gluttonous amount of Fortune's Weave and am now roughly halfway through. 2 of 4 act 1 paths done, and the minimum required act 2 path done. I am doing every single thing I can and not rushing it Despite feeling the tedium, I can't wait to start as Theodora or Dietrich. Who to pick!? 270
Jake Haas @jakehahaha.bsky.social · 25/09/2026One of the best tracks from FF7 Remake. Square Enix had one flying robot boss fight and knew exactly what they had to do. They brought that fight back in Rebirth cause they knew that track was too hot to only use once. 020
Jake Haas @jakehahaha.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I think transmog rules like 99% of the time but I do think there’s an argument to be made when it leads to microtransactions that sort of oversaturate the game with styles that go outside of the original art style 100
Jake Haas @jakehahaha.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Decided to go with the Rugrats for second path. Noticeably different in tone and some mechanical stuff too What’s really cool is I just went to the arena and watched two teams fight and it was actually a battle I did in my first path as Leda. Same opponent and everything. Love these kind of details 010
Jake Haas @jakehahaha.bsky.social · 23/09/2026The Fortune's Weave soundtrack has been incredible so far. I mean, just listen to this. They get wild and fuck with the time signature in the bridge, then keep fucking with it some more, and then some more...and then launch right into that triumphant mariachi brass section So good! Fuck!youtu.beTheodora Theme - Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave OST Queen's Gambit #switch2 YouTube video by Takeshi D. Ryu 071
Jake Haas @jakehahaha.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I was worried that min maxing the first act of FEFW too much would make the rest of the game a bit too easy and…you definitely don’t need to worry about that 🥵 2100

Jake Haas @jakehahaha.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Initially wanted to do all act 1’s first, but I decided I’m gonna do act 1 straight into act 2 for each path of FEFW, then finally do act 3 I do not want to skip the more linear act 2 (which lets you fast forward it if you want) in the future just because I don’t want to do it back-to-back 4 times 140
Reposted by Jake HaasSuriel Vazquez @suriel.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Gonna be a fascinating case study of player perception vs. reality. The content was vaulted because no one played it because it was the weakest parts of the game with some exceptions (Leviathan). What you can play in-game right now runs circles around it. But people don't want stuff taken away. 2194
Jake Haas @jakehahaha.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Really enjoying what I'm reading about Silent Hill Townfall so far! 090
Jake Haas @jakehahaha.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Leda’s first act is done. Every paralogue, side quest, etc done. Good stuff! The best examples of plot in FE games have been mixed bags, and this is no exception, but it has a lot of moments where I’ve been pleasantly surprised. Usually followed by some dumb shit, but I’m having a good time overall 190
Jake Haas @jakehahaha.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Don't sleep on the inn's auto-activity function in Fortune's Weave Tried it out because I needed to pass some time for a side event, but not TOO much time. You can actually assign what you want each of your characters to do during that time. Battle for lvl XP, train for skills, search for items etc 1131
Jake Haas @jakehahaha.bsky.social · 20/09/2026I 100% understand why somebody would not enjoy the outrageous (and tedious) buffet that is Fortune’s Weave, but it’s one of those things that feels like it was made in a lab for my brain specifically 30 hours in and still not done with 1 of 4 main paths, and that’s just the first act 🤤 1110

Jake Haas @jakehahaha.bsky.social · 20/09/2026They save the flamenco version of Fire Emblem’s iconic Together We Ride theme for the big, dramatic arena fights you prepare for over the course of several real world hours, and that shit hits every time man 060
Jake Haas @jakehahaha.bsky.social · 18/09/2026FEFW gameplay loop is so good. It balances making a bunch of small, but impactful, resource based decisions with a nice variety of activities. World map plotting, traditional combat maps, main hub chores and support management, dungeon mini-RPG gameplay. THEN you reach the main arena event! 171
Jake Haas @jakehahaha.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I really love these quaint little Shadows of Valentia dungeons in Fortune's Weave. They can be really chill and sort of mindless, or surprisingly tense if you're pushing further and further away from an inn and getting low on HP/resources. They're a nice little palate cleanse from other activates! 150
Jake Haas @jakehahaha.bsky.social · 18/09/2026“New game subverts its previous genre 👍” in one review “New game mishandles what made previous one so good 👎” in another interesting to see but maybe most importantly it makes me say “I’ll be the judge of that!” 090
Reposted by Jake HaasBowl of Lentils @bowloflentils.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Dude, this is really cool! In Fortune's Weave, your controller begins to rumble like a heart beat if your next action could potentially kill your character. It literally feels like you are holding a beating heart in your hands. 1759
