Fire Emblem

But it's all very dark and in shadow, so it's like the Shadow Kingdom or something.

It would be like the Evil Nation if you were playing a Fire Emblem game, you know? He does a stupid thing because while he's in bed, he tells his mom, yeah, I had a dream and the dream told me to kill you.

He doesn't say it like that.

He's like, I'm destined to overthrow you or something, said the dragon.

Reminds me of something that would have actually been potentially put into like a Monster Hunter game.

I quite like this dragon design, the fell dragon thing.

Also kind of Fire Emblem-y.

I like that wherever it walks, it leaves a trail of tar as well.

You can let us know over on socials where you can also tell us what you've been playing quick before we get out of here today.

Tom, you have written down here you've been playing more Fire Emblem.

Are you deep into the Fire Emblem world? Are you enjoying it?

I am.

I'm not, like...

But I am really enjoying it.

Um...

Basically, if you're not familiar, it's like Fire Emblems, like a turn-based RPG.

But no, it's been great and I'll keep chipping away at that.

But no, I haven't started anything like Castlevania or Fire Emblem or anything.

Yeah.

Cool.

And not, like, a creative character.

Like, that's how far back this trailer was.

And I think, to bring it back to TMS, like, they did mention that in that direct, right? Just the fact that Fire Emblem and Shin Megami Tensei would cross over.

So, yeah, I mean, they really did, even when they had absolutely nothing at that point.

Yeah.

There's also just like a, a healthy dose of the germs with the kid.

Cause they're just shoving their whole hand in your mouth and coughing directly in your face.

Whereas like there's a world where you like saw someone sick yesterday, like on the street.

And then your body's like, Ooh, I don't know if we like this or not.

So, that level was, that area was very enjoyable and it got really weird with like... time and kind of extrapolating from like they're already like how they've how they've already set up how this specific patterning resonance works and how it's affecting like a very fundamental aspect of our reality in time i thought that was really cool

sure

So they had a nice long mission surrounding that and just got real trippy and like messing with your head and started opening up a lot of interesting, I think, possibilities for just like the lore of not just this game, but like the universe as a whole and like the two main characters, Jesse and Dylan.

It's sick.

I made more progress in Fire Emblem, Fortune's Weave.

I definitely am starting to get burnout on Act 1.

The different characters intersect in very cool ways.

So, yeah, I think that game continues to be great.

I've been very...

Which is surprising to me, because Fire Emblem is a series that I...

I've had very mixed feelings on over my time with it.

So yeah, I'm going to do that after the podcast.

I finally beat Fire Emblem.

So I'll talk about that later.

Did

For now.

True.

Flame, do you want to chat about you finally beating fucking Fire Emblem Tomfoolery Malarkey?

Yeah.

I am squeaking an episode in here.

I almost didn't have an episode to come to you with since Fire Emblem turned out to be what I would call a great game.

You know, it's far better than good.

But I would compare it to having an A5 Wagyu steak dinner.

At least we can count on the entire world being confused when, I don't know, GTA 6 wins next year and we have to ask Do you mean on PlayStation or on PC? And then we have to further clarify, is it the actual PC version or is it the unofficial PC port? There's so many games coming out and I've only made it worse because I still have a ton of games that I've gotten and they're all bangers.

And so now I'm trying to figure out how I can juggle all these games in two months and I don't know, still have time to be sane.

Fire Emblem, right? I say powering through, but I'm kind of just enjoying at the pace that I want to enjoy this game.

I've also finished the prologue of Dawn...

and then I tried the other one which was the Stellar Blade demo it's known that the only problem Switch 2 has with a lot of these games is their hair so the hair looks a little odd but overall I thought it played really well played at 60 looking forward to the full game for that because it's on cart too and yeah

nice So for me, as Chase is well aware, I've been continuing to place to even my own surprise Fire Emblem Fortunes Weave.

And to you and my oldest kid, I've been asking random questions.

Hey, what do I do with this? Or how does this one work? Or what does this do? And I love the fact that I'm getting answers, but you're both being little snarky assholes about it in a bed.

I have taken advantage of the fact that it's like, Oh, this person died.

Well, if I don't feel like going through this again, I just rewind time or I just let them be dead and I'll get them back when I'm done.

Let me just, let me just tell you when I played a shadow dragon, which is based on the very first fire emblem on BS, there is no completion and only one character died and but what the game did did afterwards is they tell tell you like what happened to his family it's like he had a wife and kids and i was like

come
