I started playing Fire Emblem Echoes again because I haven't completed it yet and goddamn! The map design is so bad! Just fields with copy-paste trees all over the place. The gameplay is also a step down from Fates, Awakening and even Heroes imo. Does the map design get better later on? Im on act 3 btw.

No, it gets worse with starting positions that heavily favor the enemies.

Yeah, the starting positions are questionable. I just got done a map where I faced 2 of the antagonists and a rando. My whole team was scattered at 3 points of the map. 1/3 of my team was useless because all 3 of the guys made a beeline for Alm and the rest of my team was too far away to do anything. So the starting positions get worse from there too?!

Also, the EXP gains become so abysmal that you'll rarely get the satisfaction of a level up. You'll kill hundreds of enemies that net your characters 1-4 EXP. Echoes is easily the worst console Fire Emblem game that has been released outside of Japan.

 Yeah, i'm feeling this now. I've gained so little experience during battles that I thought I was over leveled or something, Not to mention even when I do level up, the stat boosts are abysmal.

The story and presentation is good, but everything concerning  gameplay is pretty bad tbh. I'll take my waifu's, good gameplay and incredibly mediocre story over this Fire Emblem anyday. Ah well i'll just power through it.
