Engage really made me appreciate Nicolas Roye as Leif. I haven't used Leif much in Heroes so Engage was my first time really hearing an extended amount of him. Excellent casting choice and it just makes me want an FE4 remake even more.
So out of the remaining playable Sacred Stones characters:
Franz
Moulder
Garcia
Artur
Forde
Kyle
(Dozla)
(Saleh)
0 of them are female lol. Ismaire can fill in a slot. And another female Ascended Hero like L'Arachel can fill another so it's still safe. Or a Heroes OC of course.
Sometimes I think about how they took what I already thought was one of the absolute best FE designs we've ever had and somehow made it even *better* in Three Hopes by adding a huge collar and a side ponytail to it.
Call me crazy but I don't think Eirika's skirt is any shorter in Engage than it is in FE8. FE8 just has the advantage of not being able to view her from literally *any* angle. Her art is angled with purpose. Also, they literally note her short skirt in her Forde support.
Most shocking part of Engage's reception for me is how Jade has made zero waves in the fandom
I didn't pay her any mind pre-release but turns out she's hilarious lmao. I love her deadpan humour and how she plays the straight man with this wacky cast
