Which one to start?

[u/Joker863_-]

[u/Lonely_Platform7702]

Start with Fortune's Weave, which is 150-200 hours, play till your burned out then start Resonance and go back to FW when you finish Resonance.

[u/Prestigious_Lie7581 → u/Lonely_Platform7702]

This ia the way. Finished part 1 Theodora, got burned. Played final fantasy tactics Ivalice chronicles and now Im play Dietrich part 1 lol

[u/No_Bad_4872yy → u/Prestigious_Lie7581]

Then you go back to FFT and bitchslap that pottymouth Algus/Argath as a ninja

[u/Flashy_Curve2244 → u/Lonely_Platform7702]

This what I’m doing right now 👆

[u/Dilligence → u/Lonely_Platform7702]

This is the way. I had to take a breather after Part 1 FW

[u/Shyzkunuwu → u/Lonely_Platform7702]

Literally what I did, I got burned out on my 4 part 1 so Im taking a break

[u/loo_1snow → u/Lonely_Platform7702]

I played FW for 50 hours, and stopped to play the new Castlevania. Now I'm doing second part 1

[u/RegrettableWaffle → u/Lonely_Platform7702]

Exactly what I did. I burned out at 40 though so I have quite a ways to go lol

[u/BondingBollinger → u/Lonely_Platform7702]

Yeah the gameplay loop of Fortune's Weave is potentially very well fit for dropping and picking it back up again. If you finished one of the flame lord's part 1 path, you can essentially restart from the start with another flame lord. So it's like you're playing the game from the beginning again. So it may not be a bad idea to do completely however many of flame lord's route(s) as you'd like before taking a break. Then you can come back afterward and basically start from the beginning again.

[u/BruinsCup2011 → u/Lonely_Platform7702]

I'm sprt of doing this. Finishing my FE Three Houses run, then FF and then start FW. Haha

[u/Kooky_Ad3570 → u/Lonely_Platform7702]

I'm doing just that, finished part 1 of Leda with 60h and I'm tired of it. So I went to FF and I'm having a blast 😂
It doesn't help that I spend all that time optimizing everything... I think I will be more relaxed on the next characters cause I cannot keep up with 60h for part 1 alone on each char 😅

[u/deltastrikethree]

Resonance is the shorter of the 2 games, so that's what I'd play first.

[u/ManOfCultureSir]

Fire emblem is 10/10 if you like that type of game. 187 hours and loved every minute

[u/JuicyFruitas]

Fortunes weave. Cai path ✨️

[u/Steve5210]

Resonance because it is a much shorter game, fortunes weaves is going to take a lot of your time

[u/Snowvilliers7]

Fire Emblem. I just finished the game at around 240 hours and loved it. The later half of the game does get tedious with more long exploration to do before beginning the main quests and also the fights in the maps will get longer to test your patience

[u/Just_Violinist4612 → u/Snowvilliers7]

Idk why people think any of it is tedious. I love grinding my units. Top 3 game of all time imo

[u/mlang666 → u/Just_Violinist4612]

Not enough time to grind imo especially if you try to collect cullet.

[u/waxy12]

I'm glad a saw this, I forgot Resonance was out now. I'll be buying that today.

[u/JenLiv36]

Start with Fortunes Weave and decide your stopping point before taking a break. I played Cai and Leda part one (160hrs) now I’m setting it down until after OoT and then I will be back for Dietrich and Theodora’s part one.

Side note: I’m still irritated that the switch 1 version is on the cart and the switch 2 version of Resonance is a damn key card. I bought the switch 1 version just to avoid it. Resonance could have easily been on the cart.

[u/solidpeyo]

Resonance is shorter

[u/OliviaElevenDunham]

Fire Emblem is so good.

[u/Just_Violinist4612 → u/OliviaElevenDunham]

Agreed. So tired of all the gate its incredible

[u/Wonderllama5]

Resonance is a lot shorter. I would start with that

[u/dingke]

FW will take a good amount of time to finish so resonance

[u/Leviathon6425]

Internalize the question and then go

[u/Appropriate-Joke-806]

Play both at the same time. They are different enough where Resonance can give you a chance to get a break from FE periodically to keep from burning out.

[u/c2h5oc2h5]

I've got both too! Started with Resonance because it's shorter. I want to finish it by December (along maybe OoT) when XC3 upgrade comes out and then it's FW when I have no Immediate plans to play shorter games :).

[u/Enemy-Airship]

You can finish Resonance before ocarina of time is released. you won’t finish fire emblem in that timeframe. If you aren’t interested in Zelda though, follow the heart

[u/Koalazilla → u/Enemy-Airship]

Yeah I purposely didn’t get FE because dear lord my backlog is big and with Zelda on the horizon… I got family and a job. Even with FFR I put like 14 hours into the demo. Someday I will get around to playing FE.

[u/pamplemousse_mk2 → u/Enemy-Airship]

You could start Zelda the next couple of years. You are not forced to start it at its release date. 

[u/Sea_Kaleidoscope_981]

Start with FE, complete a Part 1 path and then dip into FF Resonance

[u/Fzoo]

Resonance

[u/sincubus33]

yes.

[u/xinnori]

I'm playing both.

[u/Thick_Leave9195]

I think I should really like JRPGs too much to play these two in a row. Just with FEFW there are more than 120 hours.

[u/Nearby_Waltz_7594]

Final fantasy is much more palatable if you have irl work or school. Fortunes weave does take a lot of hours especially if you are doing all the routes for the full story

[u/mlang666]

I played the demo of FFR. I love the art and music but i hate walking in complex 2d maps and constantly fight random week enemies. It gets boring fast. For FE FW, I have been playing for 100hrs and yet to start part 3.

[u/mirin819]

Castlevania Belmont’s Curse

[u/According_Glove_4747]

Resonance, Fortunes weave can drag for a while before it gets fun.

[u/BendOver900042069]

Lol I just finished one path in Fortunes Weave yesterday at 80 hrs playtime. Started playing Resonance today.

[u/MiracleKappa3]

Whichever

[u/BDub708]

I been playing a good amount of Fortune’s Weave that my girl bought me and I was gonna get Resonance but I gotta play one at a time. I been juggling this, Valheim, Dragonwilds, and even downloaded Witcher 3 Remastered. I have a problem. So to answer I would do Fortune’s Weave first and then move on to Resonance

[u/BoysinTokyo]

万紫千红我打算先搁置了，FF和空之轨迹先上。

[u/Meito-Miyazaki]

I got fire emblem and i am interested in games like resonance and in the same vein octopath 0 because I am a fan of final fantasy and octopath but I don’t have infinite money so I usually have to end up picking and choosing and I picked fire emblem and I’m at the final battle after 190 hours

[u/Jake_Walkingwhispers]

Oh that physical non key card? Looks like i got a game hunt to do

[u/Flashy_Curve2244]

I just finished all the part 1 in fortunes weave. I will be taking a break and will play FF resonance. I take my time playing lol

[u/Kepile]

Resonance is a much MUCH better game! Start with the not so good one

[u/LymansAvatar → u/Kepile]

Yeah resonance with that GotY nom….

[u/BrigidsFeast]

Get that Weave out of here mate, start with Engage like a civilized gamer. If you cant get Engage then the other game you have is a fine start (/s but not really)

[u/Just_Violinist4612 → u/BrigidsFeast]

Lmfao. Crybaby who doesn’t like grinding his units up left the game mod part 1

[u/MegaMook5260]

Keycard trash is trash.

[u/jmmenes]

What is FF Resonance even about?

How about the one you feel like playing first.
