I am weak (for videogame)

[alaterdate]

I wavered back and forth for the longest time about whether or not I was going to buy a Switch in preparation for Animal Crossing next March. Since I had the money right now for the console and who knows if I would have enough for the console AND Animal Crossing in March I decided to just jump the gun and bite the bullet, hah.
Now, I could have tried to wait for a Black Friday sale or something, but again that's still about four months away. And the new Fire Emblem game comes out in a week.... So I bought myself the console and pre-orded Fire Emblem Three Houses.

I only actually got interested in Three Houses last month with the E3 2019 trailer. It looked so cool and Dimitri looked so badass. Dimitri's pre-timeskip sprite reminds me so much of Laurent. Which isn't such a jump since the concept artist for Three Houses actually drew the manga version of Captive Prince lmao. I just hope I don't feel like a fool when I get my hands on that game. Like when I bought all three version of Fates and it was the worst ever 🤦‍♂️ I knew it was gonna be bad, but I went and did that anyway.
Fire Emblem sure knows my damn weakness with these two games though. I basically bought Fates because of Xander and now Three Houses because of Dimitri lol 🤗 In general, blonde haired dude is not strictly my type, but there's something about these ones. I think it's probably the tragedy that'll no doubt befall them. Xander's entire personality when you're doing the Hoshido route is ridiculous, but he suffers so well. (And actually Conquest wasn't as bad as the other two versions.)
I want to see what Dimitri's deal is. I want to experience that for myself. I could always learn via social media osmosis, but I'm the type that absolutely has to experience things for myself even if it ends up being terrible, smh. So, yes, I'm weak and I caved into buying a whole system and pre-ordering a game I'm slightly worried is gonna be bad.

I thought that I'd feel way more guilty about spending so much money than I do. I actually don't feel guilty at all really. Every once in a while I get anxious about how much my savings has dropped in one blow, but I still have a pretty good amount in there. Plus, I know that in a couple of months I'm not going to have even an inkling of buyer's remorse because the same thing happened with the PS4 and the XBONE. (I can't believe I own the triumvirate of systems! It makes me feel like a jerk?? I have never had all three prominent consoles at the same time in my life! I didn't ever think I'd ever have an XBONE either, but my brother was selling his at the exact same time Dragon Age 2 became backwards compatible. I think he planned that; he knew I couldn't resist!) I'm actually feeling excited right now for Animal Crossing and the Harvest Moon Mineral Town remake. I think these popular new games will be a good way to reconnect with some of my friends who live too far away.

Hello, fellow person that's also going after Dimitri because that time skip, xD

I wanted to have played all the routes for Fates before this Friday, but I'm feeling a bit meh about that story. It had potential, but I think the 3DS limitations were a problem.

If you haven't played it, I have to recommend Fire Emblem Warriors. It has a ridiculous amount of missions to do.

I wasn't too interested in any of the lords until Dimitri showed up with that eyepatch. It was so unexpected.

All three Fates stories were pretty lackluster. It was definitely an ambitious project that didn't quite nail it in the end.

I haven't played Fire Emblem Warriors, but I like that kind of gameplay so I'll try to check it out, thanks!
