While you could change the entire cast into humans without really altering anything else I actually like the way the game's presented, it makes it feel more unique.

Yeah I don't think it's necessary to the narrative for the characters to all be animals but it does help make the aesthetic as good and memorable as it is

Also human characters would make the setting that much more depressingly real

the scope is also a little specific. like how it's hard for some people to relate to catcher in the rye because they come from different cultural or economic backgrounds, if you can't understand being in your 20s in a sleepy small american town (in fact, that's the Big City Dream to me), a lot of it will go over your head or hit the wall or whatever. my 20s existential crisis was "most of the people i love are dying of bad luck before they hit 30" so the malaise of living in a town big enough to have an applebees doesn't exactly speak to me.

it's very much a ymmv title! please don't hate me for not understanding feline holden caulfield

I always thought Advance Wars was way harder than Fire Emblem but I guess at least you don't have to worry about Sami dying or w/e

I think, because it's not an rpg at the same time, the devs had a much easier time fine-tuning and balancing the difficulty of various challenges in Advance Wars, whereas in Fire Emblem you can't necessarily plan for what characters someone's using or what level they are or what equipment they have. Also Advance Wars much more obviously rates you on your performance in battles (FE used to but even then it's hidden in menus and feels easier to disregard) which makes it feel like more is being asked of you. Because of all those different variables though, a solid well-designed FE map feels that much more satisfying to play imo

I miss AW and hope Wargroove turns out to be good :(

Welp. Just finished Night in the Woods. drat.

Not sure I understood what happened towards the end, not sure I'm supposed to be able to understand, but it really did hit home in a number of different ways. Maybe someday I can wrap my brain around coding well enough to aspire to make something even 1/12th as decent as NitW, something that would allow me to paint an interesting snapshot of my life and experiences here in much the same way that the writers' lives and experiences in western PA impacted NitW.

People were talking about it a few pages ago but basically, capitalism happened
