Epic flop incoming?
Isn't a bit strange that, before less than 12h from the release, are still not avaible anywhere:
- full game reviews
- game full campain length in hour
- number of units type/class, and how many different units for each of them
- number of battles in the campain
- EDIT: difficulties and new game plus
(fire emblem three houses had much more information before the release)
Usually youtubers or famous pages receive games few days before the release.

But there are a lot f adv everywhere, same short videoclips in all the avaible preview, and a preorder extra content...

I'm afraid to see an epic flop game, or at least a game that doesn't worth 50€, maybe 25€.

Your thoughts?

I am afraid about the difficulty. I heard a rumour how no more difficulties in the game, only one....

-They're coming in less than an hour.
- *Shrugs.*
-70+ is the official number.
-That would be super variable.

Three Houses was a huge release from a huge studio. Not really comparable.

As for thoughts, I don't have any since I don't have information. Other than you're deciding to assume the worst for little reason.

- it's important to know the minimum lenght of a game, almost for me
- 70 divided in how many king of type/class?
- yes, but an idea

Ok FE3H came from a huge studio, but it was a 60€ game on nintendo, and this is 50€ game on steam (60€ on nintendo), that means same price, so i except same quality and information before buy, no matter if the studio is huge or small.

I don't think it's a little reason, this is the first time that i really see no reviews in a at such a short distance from the release, it's strange.

Any non-indie tiny studio game costs that much. It's 2021.

And I'm not sure what you mean king of type? You mean how many powerful units?

typing error. I mean archers, mages,spearmans... Are there maybe 4 units of archers? 4 because one is stronger than another or simply because they have different skills and skin?
A game based on units choise need a bit more info about them, not only "there are a lot of units, some works together, some are stronger against a certain king of unit".
I's like if the release a new game like pokemon, but you don't know how many pokemon and how many type are there.

I hope to have explained enought good my thought
I don´t know if it´s going to be a flop, tomorrow I will play it and i will know. anyways, i´m not a very demanding person with videogames as long as i´m having fun :)

Ahh, well I did a quick count of units in just the character previews and I think there were two archer types that I could pick out. There were mages, dogs, horsemen, footmen, peasants, golems, two kinds of gryphons, magic dogs, skeleton footmen, armored ghost things. So I think there'll be a good variety. (And others.)

I think people need to chill a bit, not that they are not making good points. It comes out tomorrow so i guess all we can do is wait and see if its worth buying. I am sceptical as much as the next guy, but i do have some hope for the game at least.

Hah, I'm similar. Could they make decisions I'm not a fan of or enjoy less because of? Yes. Are they going to mess it up to the point where I don't have fun? That would be impressive. Not impossible, but impressive.

not a flop according to this review .

From the reviews it looks like it has some warts, but over all is decent.

Though it's funny to look at a review, then hear another one contradict them.

One Reviewer: "The game could really do with a fast travel system."
Next Reviewer: "The game has a fast travel system through these statues."
