Nintendo's Fire Emblem Direct was HUGE!! Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave is almost here, but can it improve on some of the biggest criticisms surrounding Fire Emblem: Three Houses?We’re looking back at Three Houses and breaking down the areas where Fortune’s Weave has the biggest opportunity to evolve the formula. From map design and route structure to pacing, replayability, and the balance between tactical gameplay and social elements, there’s a lot we hope Intelligent Systems has learned from the last major entry.Three Houses is one of the most beloved Fire Emblem games, but it certainly wasn’t perfect. So what should Fortune’s Weave keep? What needs to change? And what could this new game do to become an even better Fire Emblem experience?

In this week's episode we do an extremely long AMA and dive really deep into each and every question that our community submitted. Thank you to everyone who has supported the show and helped us grow. We are so thankful for you all.
