thinking about fe engage from the perspective of being a tellius stan and all the fandom stereotypes i'm sure that entails -- and it's great tbh. the story is paint-by-numbers fire emblem and i'm fine with that. it's not trying to be tellius. it's trying to be engage. what's most important to me wrt engage is that it's a great fire emblem game. it's challenging without being unfair. the map design is excellent. it feels great to play. it's fun.
nothing disappoints me more than a game with a great story and bad gameplay, because all i can think is, you chose this medium for a reason! if you bungle the video game part of your video game, i'm left thinking "this should have been a book! or a graphic novel! or literally anything else!!" there's no justification for it to be a game if the game part sucks!!! isn't this why mario is a household name? the stories for the mainline games are as simple as it gets but they nail the part that matters: the games are fun and innovative. besides, engage has some truly standout moments! (the spoilery corrupted-related stuff with alear and veyle AAAAUGHH THAT WAS SO GOOD) and i adore some of these characters!!! yunaka best girl. finally, mika pikazo 🤝 senri kita banger character designs i love that suit the respective tones of the games they worked on.

“First of all, this blog is my new favorite thing. Second, can I please get Taichi trying to form a band with the other Mankai company members?”
(via @primeministerofantarctica )
mod note: im so sorry this took so long, this prompt was giving me a hard time, so i just kinda forgot about it.. but!!!! this is my first request, so i had to answer it!!! ill try to be more active in the coming future!!!
- let’s be real. taichi’s main reason behind wanting to form a band is because he saw a dude at school serenading a girl with a guitar. taichi is a simple man. a simp, if you will
- matsukawa is *ecstatic* at the idea. he’s all over this taichi, helping him pick out potential instruments, talking to him about rythmn and beat, and maybe even helping him songwrite
- taichi ropes in sakuya, masumi, muku, misumi, kazunari, azami, homare, and guy for the band
- muku and sakuya joined because they’re too nice to say no to taichi and matsukawa, especially with how excited they look!!!
- homare wants to wax lyrical about whatever the fuck, misumi just wants to play the triangle, and guy got dragged in via citron
- however, tensions rise as not all bandmates can agree on what music to preform
- masumi wants a more classic rock n’ roll sort of deal, particularly love ballads about the director exclusively
- citron wants to play traditional Japanese music!!! he wants to use his taiko drum :)
- homare requires only *classical, romantic* music for his poetry. Homare finds art in everything, but he only wants orchestral babey!!!!
- Azami wants hip-hop and rap, something fresh and edgy!
- sakuya, muku, kazu, and guy just want everyone to please stop arguing guys please
- misumi’s fine with whatever as long as he gets to play his triangle
- sakyo just wants all of them to shut the fuck up so he can play his old man jazz records in silence
- personally, taichi wants something lovey-dovey like masumi, or high energy and fresh like azami!
- but he and matsukawa both know that there’s only one way to settle this.
- BATTLE OF THE BANDS BABEYYYYYYYYYYYYY
- it’s a competition for the ages: the main mankai band split into factions, battling for the genre choice
- the teams are as follows: azami, taichi, and masumi for rock n roll/hip hop combo, homare and misumi for classical, citron and guy for traditional, and sakuya, muku, and kazu doing a pop/party music vibe
- matsukawa, Izumi, and Akito Taninaga, the summer troupe ensemble guy who the manager recruited at a music store act as judges
- should they be using this time to prepare for upcoming rehearsals and shows? Yes, but Izumi handwaves it away as group bonding time and potential acting experience if they ever put on a musical
- during this whole shebang itaru gets constant war flashbacks to middle school where his parents forced him to play clarinet in the school band. he’s never getting back all those hours he spent cleaning his fucking reeds. needless to say he spends the afternoon curled up with rhythm games
- tsumugi also played in his middleschool’s orchestra, but has much fonder memories of his time spent. like that one time tasuku came to visit him during rehearsal and somehow got his head stuck in a tuba
- this exact memory is why tasuku also won’t be showing up to the grand battle. tsumugi would not stop fucking bullying him about it
- the stage is set. the rest of mankai sans itaru and tasuku sit in the audience. the performers take center stage.
- misumi and homare’s is well. a misumi and homare performance. homare recites his poetry while misumi dings his triangle every so often. he gets too excited though, and starts dinging the thing at maximum velocity, so izumi calls the performers off before they could permanently damage mankai company’s collective eardrums
- citron and guy’s performance is surprisingly... really good??? like they got traditional costumes and everything... call citron whatever you want but goddamn when he goes all out for something he goes all out
- sakuya, muku, and kazu’s act is!! really nice!!!! whenever muku or sakuya got strange fright from singing, kazu would hype them back up again from behind his booth
- muku: “s-senri no michi mo saisho no ippo k-kara...”
- kazu, adding an obnoxious beat drop: “YEAAAAAAAAAA MUKKUNNNNNNNN!!!!”
- they’re a little off key at times, but they tried really hard, and that’s all that matters!!!!
- and then. it’s taichi, masumi, and azami. they all try to look appropriately badass, taichi slicking his hair back and azami in his best pair of doc martins, but the mood is kinda ruined when masumi has to ask kazunari if he could borrow his equipment
- “what. do you people think i own that shit?”
- “WHAT WERE YOU USING DURING REHEARSAL????”
- “he was also using my equipment then!”
- anyways. masumi gets his shit together, taichi slings the guitar he loaned from matsukawa on his back, and azami turns his mic on. and together they preform only the most hardcore song:
- the g-anthem of y-city
- (it’s was azami’s choice. that boy is a mtc stan first human second.)
- can azami rap? of course not. can taichi play acoustic guitar to a rap song? obviously no. can masumi look away from Izumi and focus on his sheet music? what do you think they are, professionals?
- azami calls himself azami-sama and banri doubles on the floor crying laughing
- overall, team badass rock is all over the place. it’s one adorably awful garage band.
- in a surprise turn of events, citron and guy are claimed the winners, since their act was technically the best. even still? no one really wants to do a traditional japanese band, and most of the volunteers learn that maybe they better off sticking to acting, so the mankai band ends before it could even start
- taichi, of course, is completely dejected, his serenading dreams crushed.
- matsukawa, tho, isn’t about to let him give up so easily, so instead of forming a whole mankai band, he just decides to teach taichi privately about serenading hot babes via guitar
- taichi has a lot to learn, but he’s picking it up fast, according to matsukawa!!! there’s plenty of lady friends in his future... maybe.
