How is the new Fire Emblem?

I'm a big fan of the fire emblem games, but I will admit that I didn't like engage. I found the combat to be as engaging as ever, but the anime tropes and characters were really annoying. I liked 3H, though. My issues is that I heard the new one is heavily skewed towards the out of combat activities, particularly the social features. Is this true?

With 3H, I grew to despise the monastery

I'm on the second route now in FW and I haven't gotten tired of Dagsion yet.

I never did the other routes in 3H, I will likely see FW through all 4.

This is kind of a tangent but in regards to seeing all four routes in 3H - if you see the “true” route (if you want to call it that) first - it makes seeing the other routes seem kind of pointless and the value in pursuing them pointless, in my opinion

I'm sure - I don't know if I did the "true" route, I did Claude's

There is no "true route" and Claude's actually addresses a lot of issues that the route they are talking about ignores. Golden Wind is prolly my favorite.
