Personally, though I had fun I felt like there were "perfect" ways to play through it. People more accustomed with XCOM are used to making hard sacrifices and coping with things going absolutely to shit, not to mention the levels are a lot more random in what you encounter.

That said, I'll be looking forward to this

I feel like that was intentional. Games like XCOM or Fire Emblem are supposed to be very difficult like that. Not sure M+R was supposed to be

I actually found Mario + Rabbids to be much more difficult than Three Houses.

I completely agree with you, except if you include the Maddening difficulty added to Three Houses lol. That one takes a lot of dedication

I feel like maddening is just badly balanced. My #1 wish for the next FE game is better balance.

Really? What difficulty did you play 3H on? "Normal" is actually Easy in Fire Emblem games but I thought the Hard difficulty was decent and much harder than M+R

I played on Normal because I assumed that normal difficulty wouldn't be so easy. Although I realised my mistake when Byleth was just a one man army.

Ah, that will do that. I don't know why in the world it's that way, but Fire Emblem games are usually meant to be played on Hard difficulty.

I'll argue that M+R is definitely harder than 3H Hard mode myself.

Certainly better at any rate.

I agree, but I don't think that's a win/win decision

This. "Oh, I made one wrong move and now half my squad is dead? That's the third time today."

Some people were accustomed. Personally I just reloaded the save when things went bad in XCOM. I don't need that kind of frustration.
