Mr. GOH!

I am actually holding off because EVERYONE has said it's too easy.  And Nintendo said they're adding a higher difficulty by Free DLC... eventually.  But we don't know when.  And the game doesn't let you move up in difficulty mid file.  So this might be more of a Christmas present to myself type situation.

@FMW So I completed it twice; once on normal and once on hard, but the hard playthrough was New Game + which makes the non-combat parts of the game easier. There were maps that were challenging on hard to the point that I even had to retreat and reconfigure my army a couple times in order not lose any units. But it was still a bit easier than, say, XCOM or XCOm 2. But I still really really enjoyed the game.

@Mr. GOH! No kidding you played through that game TWICE?  It's huge!

I'm still gonna wait for now.  I'm waist deep in Tokyo Mirage Sessions and then Dragon Quest XI is locked in as my next thing.  But Fire Emblem is absolutely a when not an if.  The video game gods are being really good to me the back half of this year, there's lots of stuff specifically just for me.
