Why? Seriously, why the fuck? What am I supposed to say about the gameplay? What am I supposed to say about the gameplay in any of the FEs? That I like that vulneraries exist in some but not in others, or that you can rescue units in some but not in others? What do you even mean by *gameplay*? Feels like such a broad term. To me, if it's not an FPS (makes me dizzy), I'm fine. I don't care. As long as I CAN play it at all, as long as I have it, or can emulate it, or whatever - I'm honestly fine and I don't care.

I'm not saying that compared to other video games the fanservice is bad, just that compared to other FEs, compared to how the FE games are - it's a *lot*.

I would've mentioned them, but the anon who first listed the characters which they agreed might be seen as too-sexual, were all women iirc. So I kept up with that.

I really do wonder what world you live in where gameplay doesn't matter in a game.

Gameplay means the overall experience. Are there points that bog down incessantly? Do you get to do things? Are fights a challenge but not impossible? It's really not that hard a concept.

Also, FE games have been tiny pixels up until now, discounting the Wii game. 8-bit fanservice isn't exactly possible. Are you sure it's not that? Because looking at various character designs I quickly find Linde, Palla, Catre, Igrene and Ogma in Rekka no Ken being very fanservice-y. Clarine in Fuin no Tsugiri, Sylvia and Larcei from Geneology, Sothe, Illyana and Lethe in Path of Radiance and...I think I can stop there...

And you DO prove right what someone said to the OP up there about the haters simply wanting to write essays. You wrote an essay that makes no bloody sense, other than that you don't like time travel elements and optional downloads that don't come with the game and in no way affect your game are somehow the devil's spawn.

I never said it didn't matter. Just that I personally don't give a fuck and I don't judge it by its gameplay.

Dancers have always been like that, though. And short skirt and thigh highs... They've always been there. Bikinis haven't.

I'm sorry it doesn't make sense to you, I just stated why I don't like (what i've seen of) the game and why (for me) it's hard to count it as part of the franchise.

Except many of my listed characters aren't dancers.

Most of the anons list aren't in anything wprse than thry are, and nobody is in a straifht-up bikini unless you count the DLC that isn't actually part if the game. As someone below me pointed out rather aptly, hating the game for that DLC is like hating the lion king because it has stupid sequels.

Your reasons for hating it, in other words, don't actually exist. Except for time travel, which makes more than enough sense in context of godlike dragons messing with the universe. Which is what FE does.

And obviously we are missing a fundamental part of understanding where you think gameplay isn't important in a game that spends 90% of its time in a battlefield manoputlating those mechanics and I tend to wonder how the hell you have ever played any video game if ydgaf about them...
