Probably the most dissapointing thing they could've shown FE game wise. Apart from maybe something FE Heroes related. And i'm saying that as someone who liked Dynasty Warriors 5 and 8

Damn. Content on the FE end of things is going to be STAGNANT.

One nice thing about it is that it probably means IS has been working on the next actual FE game. Koei Techmo is handling mostly by themselves as far as I know, so IS has most of their resources on the next FE game. I imagine we'll get an announcement for it before the end of the year to be released sometime next year so as not to compete with the Warriors game. Maybe a holiday 2022 release if we're lucky I guess.

I lowkey hope we don't see a pattern of FE games being developed by KT that goes like "Mainline game with routes, followed by a Warriors spinoff that goes into a Golden Route".

I don't think there will be, this looks like the main divergence is the defenders winning the Battle of Garreg Mach. I don't think there will be a golden ending, but there may be cues of an Emerald Moon version of the War.

In terms of map design, it goes back to the first Hyrule Warriors game in the sense that the maps are actually built around the keeps. Other than that, there really isn't an lot of things that could be done groundbreaking.
But I won't be surprised if time traveling for was shoehorned in, again. After all, KT has an fetish of doing it with their Warriors spin-offs.

It probably will be longer, provided that they showed the perspectives of several factions, like they did in the first Hyrule Warriors game.

Funny you say that. If you check the video Chaz made in which he is "defending himself", he completely blames the fiasco on rybeam. Pushing him under the bus it's hilarious.
Anyway, I played maddening with GD and it was a complete slog. I don't get why would someone at IS thought it was worthwhile to release this as dlc. It would not be that bad if you got a worthwhile reward but the only thing you get is a different start screen. The worst part for me was how the game starves you of exp and the bullshit enemy spawns.
I'm kind of not surprised that Mekkkha and Mangs liked the mode (Mangs said that it resembled Thracia, was he joking?)

Reminds me of Nightmare Mode in Radiant Historia. I think I may need to give up and grind stat ups by the endgame of that game. It kinda undercut the turn manipulation gimmick of the old DS game.

Maddening feels nothing like a normal FE hardest difficulty for one simple reason, you don't have a prepromote to help carry your weak units after the very start. Byleth/Lord doesn't count as they survive maybe one more hit on average (that's a big maybe sometimes) and might double like a chapter or two earlier. Dedue might be awesome here, but I ran it on GD so I was struggling until I got Rally Speed on Ignatz then I hit Miklans shitty ambush spawn tower. I even took the early Sylvian and he was the only reason the third chapter was even remotely bearable. Due to the exp hits it basically feels like a Byleth/Lord/early Sylvian simulator + 1 random, because getting someone like Lorenz anywhere is such an absolute chore due to how strong the enemies are.
If we had Geralt or something for a little while Maddening mode would be bearable, but we don't so it just sucks ass. Plus you are highly encouraged to spam stat boosting gardening/fishing mini game shit which is such a nothing chore

I've done two Maddening runs, and at time it really does live up to it's namesake. They were both with the Black Eagles, and their early game is so atrocious it's hard to even describe. Almost half of your beginning army (Dorothea, Hubert, and Linahrdt) are all squishies who end up running out of spells every chapter and typically die in round of combat. Caspar and Bernadetta have awful base stats and don't start getting going till later in the game. That leaves you with Byleth, Edelgard, and Petra who have to carry pretty damn hard until like Chapter 4 or 5 where you can start getting some other students. None of this is helped by EVERY archer having poison strike (enemy loses 20% total HP) and the other common early game unit, thieves, all having pass. It makes it incredibly hard to wall off enemies, which wouldn't be that bad, but your player phase is also mediocre at best because all of your units are locked at 4 movement while the enemies have 5. Sometimes it gets so bad I had to wait for Dorothea's passive AOE healing just to heal my units, lol.
All that being said, Maddening is satisfying if you like optimizing every little facet of your gameplay. I don't always feel like playing a game like that, but it is nice to see your optimization bear fruit when you go from getting your shit kicked in early game to actually having a competent army with a lot of options to play with. I'll probably do another Maddening run before FE Warriors 2 comes out to refamiliarize myself with the setting and get dumpstered by thieves for old times sake.

Mekkah made an almost 2 hour long video sperging about it. In summary (as I watched Flamenco go through it):
Point 1: Mangs didn't apologize good enough, he didn't pay enough subscriber wise (Mekkah brings this up A LOT), and he's basically the same person (note Mangs still goes to weekly therapy and supposedly hasn't touched alcohol since 2020's incidents) and in the same position as he was in 2020 because muh sub count.
Point 2: Chaz's apology video is better because Chaz spent an autistic amount of time explaining why he didn't rape Indie, Indie didn't contradict Chaz's points later, therefore Chaz is probably right. Mangs looks even worse due to this, Mekkah also defends the whole gay op shit and tries to muddy the waters by trying to imply that it wasn't a conspiracy theory and Mangs is indoctrinating his fanbase.
Point 2.5: Additionally Dondon (a hobbist LTC player who's a doctor IRL) made a essay comment where he mentioned that he actually talked Indie out of going against Chaz's video because Chaz has more social clout and control of the narrative, so he told her to basically move on as fighting it would go likely nowhere. So that's why Indie didn't contradict Chaz and it all just died.
Point 3: Mekkah at best tries to say Mangs is a bad role model for kids due to him getting away with sexual assault mostly scott free, and at worst implies Mangs is some kind of child groomer because he keeps talking about "Muh impressionable young people because Nintendo is a kids company".
Point 4: Mangs very seriously, this is not a joke or a snide remark, lives rent free in Mekkah's head. Mekkah spends an obnoxious amount of time talking about how often he thinks about the events of 2020, how Mekkah very suddenly tried to convince Mangs not to kill himself but Mangs said "too late" so Mekkah is forever scarred by that event. So Mekkah literally (in his own words) thinks about Mangs every single day since the 2020 drama happened. Which is also why he made this video, because he can't cope. Also Mangs' fanbase calls Mekkah a traitor and is stealing Mangs' content in his comment section, which is also bad and why Mangs lives rent free in his head.
tl;dr: Mangs lives literally rent free in Mekkah's head, Mangs needs to suffer more, and Mekkah needs everyone to just abandon Mangs until justice is served. Also gay ops don't matter, that's conspiracy talk and Mangs is maybe a groomer with how vaguely Mekkah talks.
There I saved you and everyone else about 2 hours of your life.

Mangs has almost double his sub count (100k vs 68k) and the stream where they both watched the recent Nintendo direct, where Mekkah was doing a pokemon nuzlocke for about 2 hours prior, Mangs had hundreds of times more viewers. So no Mangs is still the most popular FE tuber.
The real crux I think is Mekkah is emotionally damaged by 2020's events and he can't cope after almost 2 years, mix that in with Mangs' rise back to popularity and he couldn't take it.

This is the most important part, and it needs to be emphasized:
After using a thousand weasel words to insinuate Mangs is a pedophile (for wanting to fuck a 19 year old BPD junkie) and going on and on about how not raping a girl is literally rape and he's a "bad role model" because all Millennials and Zoomers think the Internet is supposed to be your surrogate parent, he spends like half a fucking hour complaining exclusively about how any time he looks up Fire Emblem, Advance Wars, or his own fucking name, he always sees Mangs.
Which is fucking golden. I love the fact the faggots making Project Ember have to live forever with the fact if you look up Project Ember on YouTube Mangs is at the top of the searches. Numberfagging can be obnoxious, and isn't a complete determination of content quality. But it does make the entire FEtuber community seethe and for that reason I'd like to point out Mekkah can't pull in a hundred viewers for a stream and had 68k subs while Mangs has 100k subs and pulls in hundreds of viewers. And that whore Goosaphone has 7k subs and is staring down the barrel of the inevitable OnlyFans destiny of every junkie costhot.

While Mekkah is a fag, autistic, and a seething retard for all the political and public image motivation that's lead him to this point, I think he very legitimately is emotionally damaged by Mangs going "Too late" when Mekkah tried to at the last second plead for him not to do a flip. If you consider that a valid mental hang up is up to you, but I think it is a understandable reason.
I think he just wanted Mangs to learn his lesson due to whatever principles he has, keep his public image by dumping Mangs, but also didn't want him to do a flip once everyone in the community Mangs has been part of for many many years just turn on him. Have his cake and eat it to so to speak, Mekkah made the choice of his public image and whatever principles he had that suggested his actions were just, and he just couldn't accept or didn't comprehend that Mangs might do a flip due to his actions. Without Jake/CyanYoh's intervention Mangs would have literally did a flip off a bridge 9 times out of 10.
Still I think Mekkah was foolish to think that wouldn't happen, he with everyone else effectively just dumped Mangs and tried to ghost him for the forseeable future while slandering him and then he just thinks nothing will happen. This is what happens when you mix public clout and personal friendships, everyone has to make choices when you're in positions like this and Mekkah made his and he has to live with that choice. Except Mekkah literally can't, because he's an autistic seething retard.
