There’s a lot to be said about how bad feh has gotten storywise—it was never a masterpiece, but book 7 really seems to be the nadir so far—and i sure have a lot to add to the many that complained before me, but atm im just thinking about how lazy it’s become in terms of mechanics and general qol.

One thing i can commend feh for is that it’s relatively easy to farm for materials and exp, stacking up crystals, feathers, and even orbs with relatively little effort compared to other gacha (fgo is particularly bad in this regard, langrisser too, hi3’s crystal rate is glacial)—but even this comes with a catch. The catch is in fact the biggest reason for why gameplay is so ass and at least half of the reason for players quitting the game: the powercreep.

Feh’s powercreep is legitimately the worst i have seen of any top gacha game, hands down. It’s become a meme at this point even among non-players and completely wrecked the game’s initial ethos of being able to build your faves through merges, skill inheritance, and weapon swaps no matter their rarity. Does the previous still work? Kind of. it’s not nearly as effective as it used to be and intsys itself no longer prioritises it when their business model as a gacha is pushing shinier newer waifus out each month. Gacha is prime waifubait pushing territory but feh is notorious for ignoring most characters (especially men, and especially from thracia rip) or locking some behind seasonal alt hell while lyn, edelgard, fjorm, and camilla (im so sorry my queen but it’s true) get their tenth overpowered alt with egregiously bullshit special skills exclusive to them that make it borderline impossible to complete stages.

Want three extra orbs for beating seasonal chapters? Good luck fulfilling the requirements for passing with a whole surviving team with no revives on hand to help despite not having ANYTHING to counter infuriating nonsense like godswords and over 80% damage reduction. Bonus points for those extra stage rewards being time locked!

Want to advance in the coliseum for extra materials? Better make sure you have a full team of new seasonals because not only do they sweep the competition away, they also give you additional arena points to climb the rankings, as lower tiers give you less rewards, and so does losing matches, with even a single loss breaking a rewards streak and forcing you to start aaaalll over again for those rewards.

Want to survive those bs no-kill survival boss stages in each book? Better make sure you have an effective counter for their shiny new skills and insane mobility (canto 5!), and if you don’t, then you’re shit out of luck!

Literally what is the point of investing in a unit, using up feathers and orbs to level and merge them, and search for the most optimal skills for them if a new banner introduces another unit that not only decimates them, but completely blows your entire team comp out of the water? The answer is that there is no point! It simultaneously forces players to catch up through constant summoning (and hopefully for intsys, turn into whales) yet stagnates gameplay because the only challenges and mode of play is basically trying to not get left behind. Houses was mocked for making the weapons triangle obsolete but feh spits on the weapon triangle entirely. You can plow through any type of team, no matter how balanced and well-built, as long as its comp is older than three months and you have the newest shiny jpeg with skills that require the length of a yugioh card to fit its explanation text because it’s just stacks upon stacks of buffs/debuffs, cooldowns, damage reduction, and nullifications. Surtr used to be game breaking and now he’s passable if he can barely survive the bullshit summer duo eir/Ymir throw at anyone unlucky enough to cross their path.

“But every game introduces new unit mechanics and skills! You’re just being a hater!” Every other game also makes sure to introduce counters to those new mechanics and skills instead of rendering the state of meta completely poisonous. Adding in those counters at a later date is not just bad game design, but so greedy because it exposes just how blatantly p2w the entire model of powercreep is. Fallen!Edelgard was so toxic for the game that legendary byleth’s entire toolkit was based specifically on nuking her (which pleases me thematically but that’s another story). Now the latest cyl units make f!edel look like a dog’s chew toy and we’ve restarted the trimonthly cycle of a new banner completely dominating the meta and making those units basically indispensable to pass stages.

And speaking of cyl units, they introduced new skills so groundbreaking that they loop right back to basic bitch territory: area of effect/terrain effect attacks. Which is hilarious because not only do they make the elemental line specials kind of obsolete, but mainline fire emblem games have had those attacks for years now; setting the map on fire would make celica yawn. Yes, good for you, griege sniddie lady, for filling the terrain with spikes. That is something we’ve seen before but good for you and intsys for finally catching up to your own main games. The bs doesn’t stop at unit attacks though, because even the maps have not progressed past seven whole damn years of existence: they are still the game grid-based top-down view with a few obstacles preventing movement. No healing tiles, no mud pits or sand slowing down units, no plant material to hide units in and increase their evasion, no lava or evil swamps that can burn or poison your characters and thus force the player to really strategise on their placements like in the main games. It’s just a few rocks, trees, and water that Cavs and infantry can’t pass. That’s it. Fliers just go anywhere.

Other gacha games not backed by a powerhouse like Nintendo achieve far more on a smaller budget. Arknights for example has new challenges in every chapter/banner event: different terrain types that force you to think carefully about where you can place who (as units are also restricted to terrain types), environmental hazards that can either aid or harm your team like fields, healing tiles, flooding shorelines, and even weather damage from events like sandstorms. Enemies/traps can freeze you, burn you, shoot you and paralyse you, and there’s nothing you can do about it except plan around those dangers to beat stages.

Hell, even enemy types are more varied. Feh still just does generics in every single book chapter and legendary clears, with the same infantry, mage, fliers, and cavalry enemy units present in all of them with the same attacks and effects, and all of them dressed as Emblian soldiers to boot. It doesn’t matter if the OfH goes to realms literally inaccessible to mortals like dreamland, the land of light, or even HEL, we’ll still find the same stable of emblian mooks to fight with the same movesets and movement types. It was almost revolutionary when intsys introduced manakete enemies and gave the book 7 mooks snake masks to wear over their generic costumes. Meanwhile, in fgo, if we go to Rome, we fight centurions; if we go to frozen Viking-era Scandinavia, we fight frost giants, and in the 17th century Atlantic, pirates, and so on and so forth and all of them present different attacks, harmful effects, and damage dealt that need different strategies to beat them better.

Even just having a single op new unit on your team in feh can instantly mean enemy defeat, which is especially heinous in the worst, most rigid mode of all, summoner duels. That shit basically forces you to have a new banner unit plus at least one duo/harmonic on your team. The limited amount of turns to defeat an opposing side in battle isn’t as bad in flying fortresses because at least ff has hazard tiles and restrictions allowing only one duo/harmonic, plus far more freedom of movement and team building. FF doesn’t have the bullshit seasonals requirement the arena has and so you can even run older (!) units provided you’ve built them well enough and placed them in a team that has good synergy within its comp. But sd? Nahhh fuck that. Five turns compared to ff’s 7, and a goddamn limited amount of space to move in because the mode punishes you if you don’t move your characters into the designated grid fast enough, plus opposing teams being awarded extra turn movement if they use dancers, and with duos/harmonics basically being built to stall and give extra moves and award/demote extra skills to everyone on the entire goddamn map. Is sd a mandatory mode to play in? No, thank gd. Are there fun modes in feh at all? Yes, seer’s snare, which not only gives extra goodies, but also provides rest points for a team and bonus skills to keep up with the harder levels; Loki’s chess also forces opposing teams to powerscale as long as they merge and position themselves correctly. But seer’s snare isn’t available all the time while sd is far more ubiquitous, and those cycle out anyways while we’re still stuck with the crap thrown at us in the arena and story stages.

I think the biggest issue so far is that feh is ultimately built around pvp, which is never a good idea for any gacha game, period. Gacha is literally gambling! And though other games are far more famous for having worse drop rates and requiring extensive grinding (fgo, honkai, genshin, nikke, counterside, granblue fantasy), they at least do the bare minimum of not having pvp. Loot crates in overwatch and other games were banned in some countries for that reason: pvp is a huge incentiviser for gambling when it promises the latest new gear to make sure you can stay on top of the meta.

Fgo has atrocious rates but at least teams and craft essences have deployment costs that restrict you from being able to run a full five star team with all 5 star ces, plus forcing players to save their main third slot for a friend’s servant; honkai impact has strong units like the herrschers, but in a game whose play is mostly frantic button mashing, any non-story locked (which means the game provides fully levelled valkyries for you that you cannot swap out) stage can be cleared with any character you like as long as you know how to use them, plus you can also ask friends for help; Arknights also has deployment costs at a capped rate that severely limits which types of operators you can use, forcing you to have a mixed bag, and you can also ask friends for help with their own operators. Arknights, like fgo, also has non-inheritable weapons and skills for their characters and just means you have to build them instead of foddering high rarity units to them (with the exception of grinding for materials).

In fact, a distinct lack of co-op sets feh apart from the competition in a very bad way. I can understand not being able to count on co-op/help in the direct PvP modes like the arena, but for story/reward stages to not allow help is quite telling, as is the absence of deployment restrictions except in flying fortresses. Even fgo, where everyone agrees most 1-2 star servants are garbage, still forces you to have at least one on your team to progress, if not a 3 star, and quite a few low-rarity characters like Arash (my beloved) can perform just as well as any 5 star with the right investments and team build.

Mihoyo is an especially greedy company but their games at least allow co-op (with the exception of ToT but that’s another post) and being able to play with your faves instead of having a nakedly tiered system of good units vs bad units who mostly exist to sweep instead of providing synergy to a comp.

Perhaps feh wouldn’t have become so stagnant if they made it into a warriors-type game that does focus less on strategy and more on skills and crit executions (instead of the garbage we got with Nopes)—because whatever feh’s selling stopped prioritising strategy a long time ago. I’m certain I’m not the only one with these complaints; I’m sure I’ve missed a few mechanics issues here too. But I am a player, and as a player I’m baffled over the state of play and why intsys (Nintendo, but mostly intsys) is so lazy with introducing any type of qol improvements or at least address any issue at all that isn’t a “sorry we made the meta toxic” apology unit released months later that you still have to pull for to make the game playable at all.

You know what I'm not letting this go I'm going to speak my truth like you don't have to Increase The Cupsize Tenfold to make a hotgirl summer alt that's horny like.

EXAPMLES.

Robin with the tasteful underboob!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And the thigh garter!!!! And the o-ring on that top too, which draws the eyes in and shows skin in a simple but pretty way!

Corrin with one of the prettiest fucking swimsuits in the game imo AND the ribbon around her thigh AND the squish of the thighs where the ribbon is tied AND the anklet which I think adds A Lot in a subtle way AND the matching bracelet AND her. Damaged art. Is A Lot but not in a bad way!!! In. My opinion.

Lyn's swimsuit has made me insane from day fucking one. Like that top is so!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😳😳😳 It's really pretty AND shows off cleavage in a really appealing way (LIKE THE BELTS AND THE TUBE TOP LOOK W A TITTY WINDOW?!?!?!?!?!!! AND THAT CHOKER!!!!!!!!!!!! AND that bow tied at the hip........... it's SO subtle and honestly such a staple w bikini bottoms and for good reason. It's the suggestion. And a nice decoration. Ect.)

Do I. Do I wven have to elaborate. The long and flowy sheer cover-up............... the sandals are esp pretty as well! And I really appreciate it when FEH artists paint the nails on a character like YEEESSS it's so subtle but it adds SO MUCH

And you know what!!!!!!! Fat fucking tits leaning over pose CAN WORK!!!!!! But for the love of god can artists just. Pick a cup size and Stick To It. Camilla's summer alt works so well bc she already had the tits to match!!!!!!!!! Not to mention, much like Mercedes, she's rocking a very graceful, mature and elegant look too.

There are obviously other fantastic swimsuit alts too but I either 1) Don't have them on hand or 2) Moreso fall under the cute and fun category for me (like Micaiah's swimsuit!) OR whatever Edelgard has going on. Funky, fun AND cool.

And really that's why I'm such a huge fan of the summer banners in the first place!!!!!! There is SO MUCH POTENTIAL for fun and playfulness and also yes I am a whore. But you HAVE to DO IT RIGHT 💔💔💔💔💔💔

#fire emblem #feh #i'm so tired i want to sleep but i need to get my message out thwre. literally is anyone hearing me rn #also post is focused on women but like. i think you could say a lot about the guys too. maybe less so #bc oversexualization to the point of sexlessness tends to happen to girl charas more #but like i do gotta speak my truth. ephriam is ugly as shit. get him some fucking water. he's so dehydrated.#fe robin #corrin #fe lyn #fe mercedes #fe camila

The newest banner of feh has been arrived and it’s....what? Sumo (Fire tribe) banner???

- Lyn got even more alts?!?! and new B skill? (I swear I’m so tired of her but...) looking great but could it be anyone like male units than just another lyn...please.

- Muspell, I don’t like his story/character but damn! the design of this alt and the dragon design always got me! (but I thought he will be in the winter banner this year cause Nifil got in summer banner lol)

- Rinkah...she got demote with poor skills even her design is kinda just upgrade from her previous one.

- Tana & Peony I thought they were Lilina and Peony XD my bad. Tana got more alts! nice but it would be cooler if it’s Ephriam instead since you know, he used flame lance which is even more fit to this kind of banner.

- OMG!!! Mordercai as the T.T units???? so the leaked is about him! but to be honest, at the first seen...I thought he was wearing a wedding veil....and I was like awwww, you would look great as a bride, my mordecai! anyway, he look great! wonder if his skills are good too?

==================================

but seriously, I don’t feel any interested in this banner which is great! cause I’m gonna save orbs for the new poower (brave cyl 4) banner and also the new story banner too (if they have interesting units) anyway, I wish for the luck and get whom you want! for me, of course, I’m going to skip this once again (the brave cyl 6 drained all of my orbs...; w ; )

==================================

#fire emblem heroes shitpost of midnight #fire emblem heroes #fire emblem heroes new banner teaser #fire emblem heroes new banner 5th September 2022 #I don't hate lyn but she got too many LOVE from feh....which is..too much for me #but I don't mind if eliwood or Hector got more alt though #or even more fe3h lords banner if they give me more claude and byleths #I can't resist the brave cyl 6 banner so this banner is kinda like a rest for me

For fun, just my predictions on the Engage cup winners:

Marth - B!Marth. W!Marth got a pretty good refine lately but B!Marth has good fodder and recency bias so I think that might edge W!Marth out, despite B!Marth being a regular pool unit.

Celica - Ascended!Celica. Like Marth she doesn't really have a lot of recent versions, so I think recency bias will win the day here. Plus, you get a free floret with her. Might be different if her Legendary remix had already happened, but it hasn't yet so picking L!Celica is a bit of a gamble.

Sigurd - L!Sigurd. He doesn't quite occupy the meta spot he used to, but he's still the most recent Sigurd. Though I'm not discounting Duo!Sigurd's potential as one of only three cav dancers.

Leif - Harmonic Leif. The other two are so old and really don't offer much in comparison. Harmonic Leif is also a seasonal and a harmonic so that could help push him up.

Roy - Bridal!Roy, for pretty much the same reasons as Leif.

Lyn - I lean toward flame tribe Lyn here. Her duo could edge it out, but the fodder is a bit outdated at this point. Additionally, older players already got a free copy for AHR.

Eirika - Toss up between Brave and Summer. I think Brave is the more visibly useful one, but Summer has great fodder and is much more limited. I slightly favor summer just for the limited aspect.

Ike - bb Ike, no contest. The other units are all very old and outdated. His Legendary Remix was also pretty underwhelming and so was his refine, so not a lot of hope for better. The only one that might be competition is Fallen!Ike, but even he's showing his age.

Micaiah - toss up between Legendary and Summer. This one is really hard to call because they're both pretty recent and premium. They both also fill the colorless tome niche. Neither of them have particularly enticing fodder either. I think S!Miccy has the edge just for usability reasons, as a brave tome cav.

Lucina - Valentines. She's a speedy save armor who comes with everything she needs in her kit, and the rest of the Lucina alts aren't much competition if we're being honest.

Corrin - Probably Halloween Corrin, because of the recency and the fodder. Plus Ninjorrin is also an AHR winner and older players will have gotten a free copy.

Byleth- Legendary. OG's best attribute is ruptured sky and DC fodder at this point, which tbh actually isn't nothing, but I'd guess premium would win out. Plus L!M!Byleth has some decent fodder.

cuboon

Oh this one will be fun.

Cuboon's obviously got one specialty:

Tiddies.

But that doesn't mean that there aren't a lot of positive aspects of Cuboon's art quality (and it doesn't mean tiddies are a bad thing in and of themselves lol). It's pretty clear that they've improved since the first time they were drawing for FEH, especially when you look at New Year's Dagr and Nott (Probably my favorite piece from them). And they've been shown to draw both male and female characters with Reinhardt and Lukas (though it's obvious they've drawn more females). They're probably Reinhardt's best artist if you ask me, I'm not a fan of Ballroom Reinhardt or Resplendent Reinhardt. Posework is pretty good most of the time (though Summer Byleth and Rhea is their weakest in terms of pose work). They draw long hair like ribbons which is really pretty and works well for motion.

The one thing I'll argue that I have criticism on is that they tend to draw female characters with very similar faces (except for Igrene and Kagero, I will give them that). The female characters almost seem to have no nose, even when they're turned to the side their nose profile isn't very strong. Their outfit design for alts can be hit or miss, Resplendent Lyn, Ninja Igrene, and Duo Dagr/Nott look great but Easter Kagero and Summer Byleth look underwhelming (but Rhea looks fine). And then there's Halloween Kagero, which I just have a grudge against the choice of outfit because it's not very Halloween-ey.

Still a skilled artist though, 8/10.

#FEH #Fire Emblem Heroes #cuboon #ask game #Again cuboon is a good artist but the art does fall really hard into hit-or-miss #I think they work strongest when they're working with established designs and not being asked to design a Seasonal

I got some good stuff with the free special 4* rate tickets, including a merge for my Summer Corrin, a bunch of bad-IV-fixers, and Bridal Lyn, but one of the things I'm really excited about is Hotsprings Ryoma. I don't want to actually use him cause I don't really care for any of the hotsprings alts, but I am very excited to give someone one of my favorite weapons in the game

It's Curtains...could do literally nothing and it would still be one of my favorites because it has the funniest name out of all the weapons

#I have no idea who I'm giving it to yet #but someone is getting It's Curtains...#Fire Emblem //#FEH //

Recently I havent been able to draw anything. I got new supplies and started drawing like crazy, but then my life started getting hectic again. I'm sorry I'm so inconsistent on this account. Seems like the only thing that makes me happy is what I have a hard time finding the love and motivation to do. I'll try harder next time....thanks if you're still sticking around. I appreciate it. This is like the only place I feel I'm allowed to truly get sentimental without the attention and judgement. Its nice. Thank you tumblr.

(That or no one cares or reads these...lol)

thanks for all your hard work. I’m sending a fun ask: i also play feh occasionally but i’m thinking of dropping it because i haven’t logged on in a while, how would you grade it?

Hmmm:

pros:

some units have genuinely beautiful artwork

not too difficult to gather summoning orbs and materials in a few days

gameplay is simple and easy to understand

some forging bonds are really good (my fave is combo fallen chrobin with brave chrom talking to Lucina)

gameplay is short and good to pass the time with

making themed teams is a lot of fun (my faves are fem dragon avatars and the church of seiros)

The accessories and paradise area are really cute

Very easy to mix match and customise units

neutral:

guy/gal ratio is more balanced than other gachas but obviously still prioritises the waifus

meh event rewards and an event schedule that’s become pretty predictable

Accessories are earned through forging bonds events and you need to earn a lot of points and farmed materials before winning them; skins are paid

top-down grid based view is quite simple

music is alright but doesn’t stand out compared to other gachas, especially because it borrows more from its previous games

Cons:

Story is lazy at best and atrocious at worst; extremely sexist with how often it excuses fem villains purely due to the waifu factor while mostly painting the men as crusty abusive trash; ocs are largely forgettable or annoying or actively make the story worse; narrative is not cohesive at all with nothing to tie back to previous chapters, and the writers clearly have no organisation so they hijack side modes to stuff in things they should have clarified earlier (tempest trials used to be lucina fighting against the eponymous phenomenon, then it just abruptly became paralogue faff plus hasty half-baked story explanations for the ocs getting new alts; details that need to be main story material are stuffed into forging bonds and tempest trials like the game casually mentioning ragnarok)

see above point: game is sliding harder and harder into sexist waifuisation territory, with most players agreeing that book seven is the absolute narrative nadir so far due to shit like the oc du jour asking summoner-kun to have a baby with her “to save the world”, and the main illustrator for that book (who also did book four) is a transphobic misogynist idiot whose incredibly obvious tastes leak into the villain being a sniddies “i can fix her” mess who screwed up this year’s cyl (and the rest of the game is slowly but surely becoming more and more sexualised, and though many may argue that cuboon’s summer rhealeth signalled the beginning of the end, i strongly disagree because maeshima shigeki’s loki was getting clowned on way before 3h debuted, along with misogynist shitbag kusucky breaking summer noire’s spine)—the question is if feh will at least be bold enough to admit they want to become a game like azur lane or are too coy to really push the envelope further

nothing is done much in terms of story with the ocs, but least of all with the main units farmed from other games. They are the main base of characters for summoner-kun’s army yet get very little screen time, and the ones who do is because they are waifus who keep getting alts (lyn is becoming detestable purely because of how much of a creators’ pet she is). The forging bonds mode should have been the main game story but it’s not, and what little we have of it is mostly power of friendship fluff heavily intruded into by annoying ocs (getting fjorm’d is basically a death sentence)

very little side mode variation with the most annoying shit being focused around pvp (pvp in a gacha game is turbo gambling)

farming cannot be skipped and the ai is absolutely useless, making gameplay become extremely repetitive fast

worst case of power creep I’ve seen in any gacha that I’ve played, with units becoming redundant in a matter of weeks and shiny new waifu alts quickly obliterating even 10+ built characters while the devs do nothing to balance gameplay except have to constantly introduce units to nuke threats that become too toxic (like the infamous case of legendary mbyleth debuting as a hegelgard killer)

intsys is extremely lazy so they don’t promote the game outside of its own twitter page; barely any animation except for book prologues, and new stuff is announced with shitty powerpoint style slides and effects; no merch, no livestreams, no collabs (which is hilarious considering dragalia had a feh collab), yet the latest console game was undermined by the devs urging people to use it as a springboard into feh

Final grade: used to be a solid 7, fell down to a solid 5

Would I recommend it? No lol
