[@Evan-tj6wz]

For those wondering what the other FE characters who will be summoned by the rings are, the opening of the previous trailer showed us all of them, albeit in a mosaic artstyle: 1.) Marth 2.) Celica 3.) Sigurd 4.) Leif 5.) Roy 6.) Lyn 7.) Eirika 8.) Ike 9.) Micaiah 10.) Lucina 11.) Female Corrin 12.) Male Byleth Another thing to note is that in these mosaics, Ike has an axe and yellow clothing, and Lucina has a bow. These are probably in reference to Brave Ike and Legendary Lucina from FE Heroes. I don't know if this means ring heroes will be able to wield other weapons in Engage, but I thought it worth pointing out.

[@lucleadergaming3487]

Thank you!

[@GintaPPE1000]

Ike was wielding Ragnell in this trailer, Lyn had a bow, and Lucina was armed with her Falchion too. So either the mosaic depictions were red herrings, or it will be possible to give them different weapons.

This fire emblem looks more family friendly and light hearted than three houses which is too bad because I liked the more serious and dark nature of three houses, but it still looks fun

[@randomgamer9782]

Wooooow, can't wait for this, I got in the series with three houses and I loved it, already preordered the Collectors Edition

[@King_sombo]

As someone who has played every single game in the series and was VERY unsure when Engage was announced, I’m officially hyped. The original trailer was such a drastic change from the more recent FE that it threw me for a massive loop. However, the trailers of the past two months showing off more of the characters and gameplay, and this trailer here showing a little more of the story have made me very excited! As someone who wasn’t really a fan of Three Houses due to relatively lackluster gameplay, the main reason I play FE, the gameplay in this looks great. Enough customization to not make every playthrough the same or drive new 3H players away, but still giving individual units individuality where it matters with classes and (seemingly) skills. Character designs were my biggest worry but I’ve come to accept that while the style just isn’t something I love, I don’t really hate any design I’ve seen so far. Some of them are a bit over designed, and Alear’s hair is still awful to look at, but I’ve come to see it as part of their character and charm. Graphics look really good for a switch game. I don’t think 3H looked good. The textures were muddy, the models were extremely rough, but I attributed it to the switch, a less then powerful console. But man Engage looks great. I’m sure it won’t look that good on the switch but it still looks good. Overall, I’m very excited. I can’t wait for January 20th!

[@Zyaire286]

I’m agree with you man. Design wise, the game looks alright. Thought the story was average for being “Defeat the fell dragon” but maybe not, just hoping gameplay would be the big portion of the game(especially the music)

[@oldspice051]

I agree on the character designs. Heck, some of them are just the same model with different hair styles and eye colors. But I’m stoked for everything else!

[@e_cube4631]

right there with you! i fully went with the hype for three houses at first, but when the hype fell off the love just didn’t stick. it didn’t feel like the games i had actually fallen in love with though i was warily excited for engage from the first trailer (despite the silly designs), this one blew me away. i’m trying not to be hyped and chat too much online about it, lest i be pulled into a huge vortex again and end up disappointed when it dies down, but the gameplay looks so good and even if the plot is fire emblem cheesy predictable, it looks good so far…..

[@SuperAvocadoo]

The only thing I don't like about the design is that 90% of the female characters have the same face

[@R5123]

I still need to revisit Fire Emblem: Hogwarts on the "main story" with red or blue faction. Finished with Claude, but I've heard that Golden Deer was more of an afterthought.

[@paperluigi6132]

So when the enemy puts on an Emblem Ring, the character becomes the Excelblem version of the character lol. Jokes aside, I’m looking forward to more info on this game, and the MCs design is growing on me. Edit: I’m casting my vote now. If the rings are known as Emblems, it’ll be likely that Alear themselves will turn out to be the Fire Emblem.

[@pearlplayaa]

Oh boy, can't wait for Excelblem marth to be 100% canon

[@Reich-]

Yep! She appears too at 2:50

[@PkmnMasterNeb]

I was hoping that the villains would use past FE villain emblems but the concept of them turning emblems into red units is really funny to me. This game looks great!!!! Also it’s great to see Ike using Ragnell in this trailer!

[@moragukroten6371]

Finally a new trailer! And it looks so good too.

[@blacksheephero2539]

Let’s gooooo! I can’t wait for this one! It’s like a modern fire emblem with the GBA color palette 😂

[@Rosa-he6xb]

Oooo the game looks amazing! Stellar animation, interesting mechanic with summoning back FE characters to help in the battle and apart of the story(also can turn evil?). Some of the character designs are mix for me, they’re not bad and I like some very much. Although I do think that some character designs don’t feel like FE to me and more like they’re suited for a different anime rpg game. Otherwise I’m excited for it, might wait a bit after it’s released before getting it, but it’s definitely on my list of games I need to play. Also small spoiler and joke below: Oh wow, can’t believe it took me this long to realize that Fire Emblem is basically the game version of the trope of killing off the parents that’s done a lot in Disney movies lol. Also something tells me with that last scene with our protagonist having their hair fully red explains a bit maybe why their hair is mix now and that they possibly been evil before losing their memories? 3:10

[@guydude439]

Imagine Red Marth's Falcion is replaced by a glock and his crit quote is "As a friend, Alear, you are replaceable. Farewell."

[@Florian-bb3mm]

The character artstyle is a lot closer to what we had in Fates and Awakening, but now muuuch more colourful. Not at all so grounded and serious as Three Houses. I like it, it's a different take. Technically speaking it's definitely a lot more robust! Perhaps somewhat clean and simpler, not as ambitious, but it all works and doesn't look so muddy.

[@lostoffice]

I'd say it's about as simple and clean as the way you're making me feel tonight.

[@DavidHutchinson0713]

@@lostoffice I see what you did there, and I approve that reference LMAO

[@NuiYabuko]

I'd say even the most out-there designs in those games are nowhere close to how out-there this looks. Not only that, many of the female designs don't seem to even look suitable for fighting. Funnily enough, the past characters look fine.

[@Florian-bb3mm]

@@NuiYabuko Yeah. I don't know much about anime artstyle, but it reminds me a lot of Genshin Impact, way more colourful and out-there. And the characters are cuter, less serious like in Three Houses.

[@dinar8749]

While I wouldn't want fire emblem to abandon the Echoes/Three Houses dark fantasy style in the future, this game does look good still.

[@RZ-yk2se]

I really hope we get rings for fe villians like black knight and arvis

[@shadowysea07]

Judging by how they used it to take marth to their side I imagine the same applies to the other 11.

The Crown Prince of Brodia (or whatever) should have been MC! He has a fantastic design, and with the one line we get about his father, it could have set up an intriguing story. I don't mind "simple" stories. But this one is looking a little too "by the numbers".

[@DavidHutchinson0713]

Personally, I very much welcome a "by-the-numbers" storyline; I like what Fates wanted to do, and Three Houses was great, but the discourse that came from having multiple routes with different plotlines has made me become incredibly weary (ESPECIALLY in the matter of Three Houses).
