@yoshi Yeah, but least they aren't the race start times for online races in Team Sonic Racing where everyone is forced to watch the course intros for minutes at a time. Least these are still under a minute and not upwards of five.

are the load times really bad on PS4 like they are on Switch for this game?

Heard Switch ones are like twice as long.

If you're worried about it being a roguelike, don't be.

Unlike the original COTN, which is brutal brutal brutal.

The plot thickens.

You Can Recruit Students From Other Houses
Really like that one sassy student who's part of another house?
You can speak with students from other houses at Garreg Mach and invite them to join your house.
If you have high enough skills in the attributes they respect, they'll join you.

Oh, that's a great touch.

Fire Emblem's weapon triangle is, in many ways, the foundation on which the series' combat lies.
Three Houses throws the triangle to the wayside.
Instead, the power of your attacks will be determined by your units' Combat Arts, which are essentially their special moves that they learn as they level up.

I don't know about this though.

@brawlman Maybe I'll try the Japanese version sometime then. No promises though. Much more likely to try Tamers since I haven't seen that. Only nice thing I can say about Adventure is, unlike the series, the movie is still very entertaining.

@bigdude1 You can say the same for some of the newer Paper Mario and Shantae games, but I don't like it nearly as much as thoughtfully interconnected worlds. Luigi's Mansion 3 seems like a mix of both though, with floors acting as levels, but you also can find paths back to revisiting floors different ways for new secrets on them.

@hanabi @BrawlMan Adventure is the first one? I tried to go back and rewatch that after going back and rewatching season 1 of Pokemon, and I couldn't get through it. Felt much more like a kid's show to me than Pokemon did. I've never seen Digimon Tamers, and that's the one the Digimon fans are always telling me holds up the best, but I haven't made time for it yet.

I don't understand if you're asking for 2D Platformer recommendations or just stating facts.

Star Wars. Let me dismember dudes with my lightsabre! It's 2019!

I don't mind this personally, but I totally understand where you're covering from when it has been marketed as a more serious Star Wars story, yet they're still making it friendly to kids.

now that this is also the console game it seems even less likely that a talented developer could work on a spinoff instead of Game Freak

Has less to do with the main series finally releasing on console and more to do with all the spinoffs being thrown to mobile hell these days.
