| RolStoppable said: Engage is more or less a blend of Awakening, Fates and Three Houses, taking elements from each game and shaking them up a bit. No idea which one of these aforementioned games' direction will be dominant in the end |
Spend a couple of hours on Reddit and you will see. The only thing people were talking was about who can get a romantic S-support in the end game
The fandom is now dominated by weeaboos. That's why the female cast seems to be created by a waifu generator and the male cast seems to be an anime version of Jpop idols
And that's why the social aspects in this game looks so alien to the game instead of something organic and well thought (like Persona or Three Houses). This is a game designed to be like classic old Fire Emblems, but they need to keep putting saunas and cafes so you can spend your time romancing your partner even if this has a very minor impact on the actual evolution of your units unlike Awakening where marrying was an actual way to unlock characters and passing them skills
As much as I love social sims, you cannot just add them randomly without giving them context and purpose and purpose is something Engage sorely lacking
