I expected a lot more out of this game but I guess that's my fault. You can't really alter your character's personality so they always sound very happy and they smile a lot. With that you also have a lot of dialogue choices in the game that very rarely make something different happen and it's almost never going to be anything of note. The main plot really falls flat. I never got into the story and I absolutely hated doing the trials. I just wish I felt like I was actually affecting the world when I do side quests. I wouldn't recommend paying $70 for this.

I think I hate this game. They really pulled back on the plot and tried to make something simple after how many arguments Three Houses made but it really works against this game. It's too simple and it really leaves me feeling like I just don't care. The thing that really upsets me though is the large variety of currencies you have to collect to be able to upgrade everything. The game barely gives you metal, money, and SP. Why am I being starved for progress in this game? Grinding skirmishes doesn't help. Even when I've donated money to countries to raise the drops a few levels, I'm getting iron in single digits. Lastly, I hate the entire ring/emblem system. Instead of letting us mix classes around and gain skills like in previous games, you only get two free slots and you can only learn skills from the rings. You only get one class skill. You need SP to get skills from the rings and you need 2000 SP to get a decent one which takes many hours of grinding just to get one. You will blow through the ending of this game with weapons that aren't upgraded and without many good skills because the game just doesn't want you to have it. Easily the worst Fire Emblem experience I've had.
