Hey folks, sorry I missed last week! Not so weekly I guess 😓 . Anyway, I've recently picked up Fire Emblem Warriors, and it's been pretty fun! I love the musou genre. (in addition to shmups, of course!) Feel free to use this thread for general discussion too, if you'd like!

I main Zato/Eddie and have for years (since Guilty Gear Accent Core Plus R)

I picked Zato-1 because he and his combos look sick. FG characters can be difficult to learn and take some time: if you don't like what you're looking at during these long practice hours, you'll likely give up quicker.

That said, you don't have to pick a main at all. A lot of people play multiple characters.

If you wanna play online, you'll have to play on PC, I think. I know in -STRIVE- PC has crossplay with PlayStation, but I'm not sure about the Switch.

The Japanese server is pretty active. I'm enjoying all of the characters so far.
