You could def make that argument ass well, they've quantitatively wasted the most money and resources out of anyone. They're a bit of a different flavour of fuck-ups, where microsoft just mindlessly burn money and hope for the best, Sega has more a legacy of not understanding the industry at all.

There are many varied and valid reasons to hate basically all major video game companies, but Sega might well have the most incompetent management in the entire industry. Downright insulting levels of cluelessness, they can't even be competently evil.

Holy shit, it's under goddamn "extras"???? No wonder I didn't find it during my first play session, especially with the cold open the game has.

Many things in FW feel like direct answers to issues people had with 3H, and this might be one such case. The gender locked classes were such an odd thing about 3H that they almost certainly got some negative feedback from it.

Not familiar with all naming conventions, but it feels odd to equate Von to a middle name, considering how it's just "of" in German (i.e. von Riegan -> of Riegan('s family)). As in, I'd imagine that a person could have a middle name as well as a "von surname", though mb they'd avoid that w FE names.

The industry is incapable of any self-reflection, but it should be obvious why this would be the case. Older gens saw Big Tech innovations that changed people's daily lives for the better and/or were at least mixed bags. Personal computers, internet, mp3 players, smart phones, etc. Someone who is 18 has seen.... what? NFT scams and crypto rug pulls. Web 3.0 hype that went nowhere. Gig economy apps that exploit workers and still charge too much for poor service. Zuckerberg's metaverse. A bunch of crap that massively enriched some billionaires without seeming to improve people's lives. Why should any young person look at big tech companies hyping GenAI—who were all pushing metaverse/crypto/etc. a few years ago—and think it would help them?

Oh fucking hell, that unlocked a memory. All of them couldn't fit on a single extra cd so they dumped it on a dvd, which I couldn't play because my ancient dvd drive is broken. Not sure if I'd even wanted to, but still. I guess so few even listen to cd:s anymore that it wasn't worth the effort

I haven't played FEH for several years but I sometimes try to read some new units and skills The point to which the game has become a parody of itself isn't even funny anymore. FEH combat has reached modern Yugioh, where you'd have to take a university course to understand all the interactions.

Canon Astrid/Makalov still feels like a writer going "ok but wouldn't it be funny if" and nobody stopped them

Toge @piikki.bsky.social · 15/08/2026
Engage is honestly the game that completely stopped this spiral for me, because it was not at all the direction I wanted the series to go but it still ended up a top 5 switch game for me. Made me realise just how much I like the series more than my actual favourite FE:s.

Toge @piikki.bsky.social · 13/08/2026
and then there is FE 5 that both chooses some canon events from 4 and then even rewrites some of it, and it works way better than it should as a kind of alternate canon. I thought that was really cool of Thracia and it's a bit of a shame it doesn't feel feasible anymore.

Partly related, FE has a weird history with prequels. FE6 and 7 have some odd inconsistencies but they mostly don't matter unless you're digging into the weeds,

Toge @piikki.bsky.social · 13/08/2026
Looked at impartially, if a sequel were so much removed from 3H that the "winner" didn't matter, why even reuse the setting? If we want to references, a prequel makes more sense. And "choosing" a route would honestly be at-best kind of petty.

Toge @piikki.bsky.social · 13/08/2026
Oh no worries, I was also worried whether I came off too rude as well lmao. My deeper hung-up here is mostly just that imo people get a bit too attached to their preferred canons, and I've been a bit anxious of the idea that this might influence IS:s writing process.

Toge @piikki.bsky.social · 13/08/2026
I didn't really want them to "pick a route" honestly, more so just avoid the question of what route is canon (I genuinely think that what route won in 3H wouldn't be apparent in Dagda after a few centuries).

Toge @piikki.bsky.social · 13/08/2026
I just feel that being a prequel is more limiting for FW, while a sequel risks contradicting 3H more. I think it's far more important that FW:s new story can breathe, any 3H connections should be a lesser priority.

I'm very sorry but "old hag" as a translation for オオババ as said by a child to an actual maternal figure is an unhinged AI translation, it's just child speak That could be a good translation if an adult said it, like imagine if you called a random old woman "grannie" to her, has the same vibe there

The mainstream exposure is part of what made it so frustrating for me, get the masses hooked on the *actual* song damnit!

Toge @piikki.bsky.social · 10/08/2026
My hottest FE take is that the God Shattering Star upload deserved to go because it was a thunder/rain mix that messed up the progression of the song completely, making it unlistenable and altering the fanbase's perception of the actual song

Never have played them multiplayer, but I still have a voice shouting in my mind that I'm not minmaxing enough. This makes them anxiety simulators for me, which as I understand is not the intended experience.

All their "wishes" are also potentially "bad" or at leass morally grey, at least if we assume Cai's dad really deserved to go. It'd be more surprising than not if none of that had anything to do with what happens in regards to the timeskip.

Personally, hovewer, I think the gameplay integration enhances the story, and the story involvement makes the gameplay more engaging and interesting, and therefore more enjoyable/fun.

Toge @piikki.bsky.social · 26/07/2026
Thracia is key to this parable I think, because of how interconnected its story is with its gameplay, as in, a lot of story in FE 5 is told through the gameplay. You could read this as FE 5 prioritising story to the detriment of "pure" gameplay.
