- Engage brings back the traditional weapon triangle that the series is known for
- The game seems to focus more on the tactical turn-based combat than the social mechanics
- You can move more freely around the battle field than you could with 3H and other previous games
- Emblem Rings can be equiped on any party member and house the spirit of characters of previous games. Every party member can forge a bond with each ring and every previous FE game has representation via the Emblem Rings
- Emblem Rings can improve your stats and give additional abilities
- Each Emblem Ring has an upgrade path for each character in your party
- There is no weapon durability like in previous entries
- You can lift weights for buffs, cook meals to build relationships/bonds with other characters, interact with party members and heroes from previous FE titles, and upgrade Emblem Rings with the hub
