If I am, it's only because those elements were applied in a way that infuriated me in modern FE games.

You fail to justify your own hypocrisy.

So to move away from the unpleasantness...

Does anyone have any idea when the next batch of Fates DLC will be released in North America? Have there been any announced dates yet?

[up]x4 Which explains your personal distaste but doesn't justify you declaring your opinion objectively correct.

I don't want you to stop loving what you love or start loving what you don't, I just want you to be less abrasive about it. If you love FE3, talk it up instead of just telling everyone who likes FE 14 that they have bad taste- That's not how you win friends.

[up]Not yet, but there's a lot of text in them and Treehouse hates talking up things that aren't almost finished.

You claim it annoys/upsets you when people shit on earlier Fire Emblem games because of lack of certain mechanics.

Meanwhile, you are shitting on the latest installments due to presence of certain mechanics, and greatly annoying and/or upsetting all of us.

[up][up]Thanks. I got the feeling it would take a while due to the heavy amount of text; I just hoped there were some hints on its release.

Fine then.

I love FE 3 because the gameplay is easy and simple to figure out, the important characters get all the screentime and characterization they need, and the plot turns and character behavior are all dramatic and make sense to me.

But it's impossible for me to communicate that in any way other than simply stating those things, so I have to resort to hate.

Hate 13 and 14 all you like, but Fire Emblem would be dead without them.

And so what? That doesn't mean anything to me if I don't like the content of those new games.

You cannot just stonewall any cynicism towards the new games by saying they "saved the franchise". All that does is support simpleminded circlejerk beliefs that people who don't like the new games are just one-dimensional jerkfaces planning to take over the world through the power of butthurt.

You don't have to like them.

But personally attacking and insulting someone for liking them? You need to calm down in those regards.

Also, I should have said this earlier, but I'm no "kid". I am an adult.

I have to pay money for these games, as well as spend over 300 hours playing and 100% completing them. If I feel like I've wasted my time and money, I have every reason in the world to be upset at my dissatisfaction.

Again, to get away from the unpleasantness...

I just remembered something I really like about Conquest: seeing Takumi's degeneration made me realize that I was basically seeing Anankos's descent into madness. A once noble figure whose negative feelings became twisted by madness until they've essentially devolved into a snarling beast that lashes out to kill everyone just to make the pain stop.

Yet another reason I love the character of Anankos; I love the idea that he is forcing others to experience the same madness that led to his downfall.

[up][up]No, you don't "have" to.

You realize renting is a thing? Checking online for details about a game before you play it is a thing? Also, you have free will to just not buy them. If the previous games are so good and superior, why don't you play them instead? I love Fates and have played it about 8 times already (Conquest and Revelations playthroughs), so I'm sure the games that are superior in your mind must have just as much if not more replay value.

[up]Ooh, nice interpretation! I'll keep that in mind in my next Conquest run.

[up][up]Yes, I do have to. I've spent my entire life doing nothing but playing Fire Emblem. If I can't like them anymore, then that means I've wasted my life and job opportunities for nothing but long-term pain and anguish.

I'm curious- have you played the Fates games?

[up][up][up]I do hope the next game in the franchise gives us a villain that is just as interesting. To be fair, the franchise has been good to me in regards to villains.

I still remember discovering Chpater 19XX in Blazing Sword for the first time and having all the cogs click in place. Good times.

... Okay, this is no way meant to be insulting, you need help.

It just occurred to me you're that same guy that posted here a few days ago saying you wanted to kill yourself because people didn't like the writing for FE 3-11.

This is not healthy behavior. You need to see a professional, and soon. Again, no insults meant, now I'm legitimately concerned.

What are psychiatrists going to do for me? The only thing that's happened after having autism counseling is that I've grown prejudiced towards the mentally impaired.

Because there are a fair share of people that will complain about games just because they're new. Sorry for presuming.

Still, it's a tad irrational to get so worked up over games that had great gameplay, even if the story wasn't perfect.

I don't care if the gameplay has become better. For me, it's just become harder. Too hard for me to enjoy, in fact. It doesn't help that the terrible story gives me no motivation to keep playing.

And I didn't love Fire Emblem for the gameplay, anyways. I loved it for the story and characters.
