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?

I’m 60hrs in and I’ve only done CH1 for two of the characters.

I’m enjoying it. My main issue is the down-time between missions feels slow and kinda drags on too long.

Im 60ish hours in as well but have not finished my second part 1 yet.

I think I am going to stop at 2 then move on. A different run can be done with the other 2 at another time.

You can jump into part 2 with either of the part 1 characters you finished to take a break from the part 1s. It doesn't all come together and merge until part 3 (all the part 2s are pretty much the same though)

I will finish Theodoras part 1 then pick which part 2 to go with first.

I can already feel my attention slipping, so not sure if I will even do multiple part 2s unless they are short.

I mean at this point I have over 70 hours in the game which means I am definitely getting my money's worth.
