This is a bad Fire Emblem, probably the worst in the series. Definitely as most have said, a step back from Three Houses. The story is completely uninspired, and I know Fire Emblem has cringe dialogue, normally something you can look forward to but this dialogue is incredibly bad. There is no reason to use any particular unit over any other unit except for the plenty of 'Hero' units you get. This honestly just seems like an attempt to tie in their mobile game into the franchise.

Story mode is fun and fine, but you would think that a game that is 5+ years old they would add a 'squad' or 'group' mode. There's no way to consistently play online with friends.

The 'deluxe edition' of this game is completely false advertisement. It is the base edition with a 'deluxe' one time use dlc advertised as the buddy pass. Be warned if you accidentally give that code out you're screwed and you no longer have the deluxe edition.
