Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave delivers another comforting title, bringing a lot of what worked from recent titles Three Houses, Engage, and Echoes all into one. While its story is grandiose and epic, it’s longer than it needs to be, leading to a massively bloated Part 1 and a weirdly streamlined Parts 2 and 3.
