The game is great fun with friends but it drags out too long and was barley able to hold my attention until the end. Still the core game play was pretty fun and the graphics, music, and character design were the highlights. I'm still glad i played it though.

For me this is one of my favourite switch games though it has a lot of problems. I put 110 hours of game play into this since i bought it on launch day and have fully finished the main game, post game, and most of the side quests. The story is about as generic as it gets for the main game though i personally really enjoyed the story of the post game, and the voice acting and writing isn't that good but its not terrible either for the most part. The graphics are great and the basic turn-based combat and exploration and so much fun I didn't stop playing the game until i beat it and moved on to FE Three Houses. If you're not sure if you want the switch or ps4 version i would personally recommend this version due to the new 2d mode that is included and the ability to switch to the dq8 over-world music if you ever get tired of the dq11 over-world music(which is still great). I would only play this if you are in the mood for a long jrpg and don't mind a generic story, asides from that i loved it.

This a fantastic game which everybody should try. The only other fire emblem I've played is the demo for awakening on 3ds which I also enjoyed but I never got around to playing the full game, and as I am writing this review it has been a day since I beat my first run of the game with 28 and a half hours, though I have already started a new run of the game. What i enjoyed most outside of the core game-play which is a mix of being a professor and teaching class and running around the monastery doing things like returning lost items and entering 1-1 tournaments for special rewards and battles which from an outside perspective play like most other fire emblem games, is the fully voice acted story line which in my experience at least doesn't drag out longer then it should and has great characters and goes in a really interesting direction at least on my run of the game. The presentation is great asides from the really muddy and low-res textures on the environments which make it look like a 3ds game and is the reason this game isn't a 10 for me, asides from that though the actual characters look great and the music and voice acting(for the most part and in comparison to other recent jrpgs like dq11) is incredible. Everybody should play this game.
