I hated and cringed hard at the character design from the supposed FE leak, sounds a lot like a generic waifu you can find in many of those low budget Japanese ecchi games made for pervert nerds

Japanese art style can sometimes be unnerving

If this is true, I'm out already

Electric guitar taking a backseat while keyboard and flutes just going ape. I'm into this.

Damn it I should have been more specific with that genie...

Hmm, Nintendo really taking on live service games now huh? Wouldn't be surprised if we get a battle pass soon

They do. That's how a live service game works lol. Drip feed the content. I have no doubt Daisy will be there one day. I think I was reading that there was a datamined that indicated that the game currently only has half of the characters actually playable in the game right now. 

Look, dude, I don't like 'Live Service' models either...but how does it NOT apply to a sports game. ESPECIALLY considering Nintendo doesn't do them yearly and often only do 1-2 per console. I think a game like Mario Golf or mario Strikers is exactly the sort of place 'live service' models are perfectly acceptable. Still don't LIKE it, but it at least feels appropriate compared to other games. 

They were already releasing the game and then releasing more content later on a bunch of similar titles. I really don't see the issue, here. the medium changes. I don't like all the changes but not all change is evil. This is not a bad thing, it's a natural progression. Feel free to not buy into it if you don't like it. IF it's not successful, then they will change it. If it is successful, then you got outvoted. Either way, not much you can do. 

Oh I'm not fighting this. It was more of an FYI lol. I'm very stingy when it comes to my gaming purchases. I'm planning on giving this game 6 months to a year before getting it when it's more content rich. Because I really loved the Mario Strikers games, so what's a little longer to wait for the game to be fully fleshed out. 

Ah. My apologies. I'm so used to people jumping on the hate train for anything that isn't the same as what it was like when they were kids that I read a bit too much into your initial message. 

Often feels like you can't go anywhere on gaming spaces without someone crying some variation of 'things are different now and I hate it', even if 'different' is better or just neutral compared to how they were. It's so shocking to see people who just don't understand that market trends happen and while not all things will be unequivocably good, change isn't inherently bad. 

Plus I think we live in the richest, most diverse age for the medium. Seeing people bitch about loot boxes and season passes and DLC is just frustrating. Because, like, a small percentage of games released in any given year has these features. Microtransactions are terrible and I feel bad for anyone who buys them, but they're in like 20-30 games a year (I have no references for this, I vaguely remember reading up on it a few years ago and it breach3d 20 in that year) but literally thousands of games release each year and you could avoid all the GAAS (Games as a Service) models. 

So yeah, my reaction was less to you in particular and more a general response to the typical attitudes I see on forums everywhere I go. 

For every Call of Duty with D-Day Loot Boxes there's a God of War with no DLC or monetization. For every F2P Whale Hunt there's a Ratchet & Clank or a Mario Odyssey. As a whole I think gamers and the gaming medium needs to focus less on the bad and more on the good. 

Ugh! They're just screwing with us now!

"Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes exists for people that liked Fire Emblem: Three Houses. It takes the narrative and characters of the original tactics RPG and provides an “alternative history” take on events, and that was an inspired way to allow the game to be both familiar while telling its own story. For anyone that fell in love with the characters the first time around, this approach makes this take very hard to put down, no matter how frequently you play the Musou releases. My overwhelming impression of this game is that it exudes confidence. Koei Tecmo's team had a clear vision on how to turn everything that people loved about Fire Emblem: Three Houses and turn it into an action game, and with the exception of one new character that turns out to be a Jar Jar Binks-level misfire, they have delivered on that vision. Or, to put it simply: people loved Three Houses, and for all the reasons that they did love that game, they will also love Three Hopes. "

--This is the blurb from one of the highest rated reviews, but it seems to address your concerns. Skimming through the metacritic page (which are still coming in), that seems the be the general sentiment for story/lore. Most lower scores and criticisms seem to be the usual bots automatically mailing their Musou brand reviews, after likely playing the game for all of 10 minutes.
