i am enjoying fire emblem warriors: three hopes much more than i thought i would! well, i knew i'd love seeing the characters again, but the warriors style gameplay has never really appealed to me... it's kind of mindlessly fun, though? i'm playing on normal difficulty plus casual (so no one dies permanently... i'd be too sad...) and it's been entertaining without being difficult. of course, it's only the first little bit of the game, so it remains to be see what the challenges will be like later in the game.

i'm very happy we're getting an expansion on some of the ~lore~ that three houses mentioned but didn't expand upon, and also that we're seeing the actual faces of mentioned family members in 3H. (even though uhhhh so far they've all been pretty ugly LMAO) i'm interested to see where the story will go from here. i think the 'twist' on how the story progresses is a good choice, but as many fire emblem games do, it could get worse as it goes along. we shall see!

dimitri is as Dimitri as ever and i love him for it. i finished the azure gleam demo, so now i'm working on scarlet blaze. after, i'll do claude's route, which i cannot remember the name of at the moment

i am also a big fan of arval and shez. i picked f!shez because of course i did, and i really like her voice! i am playing with the japanese audio but once the full game releases, i'll have to go back and relisten to some of the supports with the english VAs. the english cast is generally great (with a few stand-outs, like dimitri, dorothea, felix...) but i much prefer the japanese audio.

anyways surprisingly fun, would recommend checking out the demo if you've never played a warriors game
