Why you should and shouldn't skip Part 2 in Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave
Why am I seeing this Ranked on corroboration — 3 independent outlets
3 independent outlets carried this — Video Games Chronicle. Agreement across newsrooms that do not share an owner is the strongest thing we can measure, so it carries the most weight.
The classifier could not identify the subject from the text, so the section was inherited from the source feed. We do not summarise what we cannot identify — this one links straight out.
Link-outLink-out, because the subject could not be identified from the text. Link-out means we point at the publisher and say nothing of our own.
| Factor | Weight | Score | Contribution | Where it came from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Corroborationleads | 0.35 | 0.77 | +0.271 40% | 3 distinct tier-1/2 orgs, counted once each: Video Games Chronicle. Saturates at 5. |
| Source trust | 0.25 | 0.85 | +0.212 32% | Video Games Chronicle is the highest-trust source on this story. Trust is taken from the best source, not averaged. |
| Pickup rate | 0.20 | 0.22 | +0.045 7% | The sources carry no usable publish times, so the rate could not be measured from them directly. |
| Freshness | 0.20 | 0.71 | +0.142 21% | Halves every 10 hours from the newest item on the story. This is the only factor that rewards a story for nothing more than being recent. |
Corroboration counts distinct organisations, once each, and only from tiers 1 and 2. Freshness halves every 10 hours, so this ranking is a snapshot and will differ at the next build.

What happened
Why you should and shouldn't skip Part 2 in Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave You don't need to play Fortune's Weave four times, as we explain in this progress guide I cannot remember the last time I put this many hours into a game for a review. And still, I'm sitting here, writing this, itching to play more of Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave. Despite some odd decisions for an RPG of this depth and scale - a single save slot and diluted difficulty, to name two - I haven't played a game that has captivated and fascinated me like this in years. This is Fire Emblem at its peak, a game as sharp and satisfying as Awakening on the 3DS, with character work and story as compelling as Three Houses.
