Fire Emblem: Why Three Houses Works, While Engage Struggles

Fire Emblem has a long history - But two of it's most recent games, Three Houses and Engage, find themselves in totally opposite positions. While Three Houses is an excellent game, Engage finds itself struggling to meet the same expectations.

In this analysis, I intend to go over why that is - From the story to the gameplay, how that gameplay is integrated into narrative, how mechanics are presented, how Supports are done and contribute to the overall tone, and how all of it came together to make Three Houses one of the most well regarded games of it's generation, while Engage.... Struggles.

And all of this will come from the perspective of someone who is relatively new to the Fire Emblem series
