For the non-Fire Emblem fan, I'd put this game around average. Most people will rightfully bounce off the tedious systems bloating the runtime in between battles. For Fire Emblem fans, honestly I can see many ranking it lower. Supports are some of the weakest in the modern entries, not to mention there are very few. Combat and map design starts off ok, but slowly turns into the slog of 3Houses with big, boring maps. And again, the tedium between battles. Worse than the Monastery, Sominel, you name it. Lastly, I'll point out something most reviews aren't touching (because people haven't actually played enough to see it yet). This game is unfinished. They originally had 8 routes planned, but cut it down to 4. The problem is they didn't cleanly remove things both narratively and gameplay wise. Characters that were meant to be on these cut routes are clumsily stapled to a quite frankly broken recruitment process (no literally, people have found recruitment stats are not being calculated correctly). What's funny is in Part 3, it feels like the game actually settles down and everything finally clicks together. The downside is for your average player that is going to be 100+ hours before you get there, with 70% of that being bloat.
