GTA6’s 30fps Critics Now Defending Fire Emblem’s 30fps, 5ch Gaming Board Erupts

From our other sites

The story

In a thread on 5ch’s Hardware/Industry (“Gehā”) board, the crowd that had been mocking GTA6’s 30fps found themselves in the hot seat after being called out for defending Fire Emblem’s 30fps. Opinions split over whether SRPGs really need 60fps and whether framerate even matters during exploration sections, with someone at one point citing a stat claiming the game’s 24-hour review score was 69% positive. The thread also veered into a tangent about the buzzy “Wolverine” title from another thread, pulling the conversation further away from the original 30fps debate.

Double-standard, two-faced, low-IQ Nishikun, huh…lol ("Nishikun" is 5ch slang mocking Nintendo fanboys)

Weren't you guys the ones going on about eye strain and going blind?

Re: #3 sums it all up.

We honestly don't care either way.
We're just mocking the fact that your bludgeon snapped in half.

This is hilarious lol
You mocked GTA6's 30fps and then got boomeranged right back by FE.
10AnonymousSep 18, 2026 17:51
FE is fine running at 30fps to begin with
It's a simulation RPG.
19AnonymousSep 18, 2026 17:54
Nobody's spinning the camera wildly around the map in FE.

Re: #19
Yeah, you clearly haven't played it.
If you have, you can show your playtime, right?
Show us your playtime for Bansen Senkou (this FE title's Japanese name), Nishikun.

Bansen's ratings are low.
Search "Bansen ratings" on X sorted by latest and you'll see.

Re: #33
The 24-hour positive rating is 69%.

"Shoshi-senban" (a pun on the game's title meaning "utterly ridiculous") has dungeons, so 30fps is flat-out garbage there — guess an armchair player like Boo-chan (a Nintendo-fanboy nickname) wouldn't get that.

Re: #43
30fps is way more fatal in an action game lol

Re: #43
You think you're being clever with that "Shoshi-senban" pun, don't you?

Well, Wolverine threads are hot right now, so everyone's coming to check it out.
56AnonymousSep 18, 2026 18:07
Re: #55
Then why are you even in this thread lol?
58AnonymousSep 18, 2026 18:07
Huh? It started because PS fanboys were mocking Switch titles for being 30fps, so someone clapped back with "wait, does that mean GTA6's 30fps on PS5 doesn't count either? That's a boomerang."
Bringing up Switch titles being 30fps again doesn't prove anything — the PS fanboys are the ones who threw the boomerang in the first place.

Re: #58
Exactly.
Guess they forgot it was the roaches (🪳, 5ch slang for fanboys people despise) who threw the boomerang.
67AnonymousSep 18, 2026 18:11
Re: #45
lol
Their beloved Wolverine got mocked, so the annoyed roach (🪳) tries to change the subject — hilarious.
68AnonymousSep 18, 2026 18:12
Re: #67
Who's even buying Wolverine?
It's a walking red flag.
82AnonymousSep 18, 2026 18:19
This FE barely has any SRPG elements left, so you're clearly an armchair player, pig (a Nintendo-fanboy slur).
If anything, it's mostly exploration sections that actually demand a solid framerate.
85AnonymousSep 18, 2026 18:21
Re: #82
That's just an early-game impression.
You'll get it once you're further in.
84AnonymousSep 18, 2026 18:20
The roach (🪳) says: "I think Wolverine's a red flag too!!"

Except apparently they were over in the Wolverine thread defending it with "the water looks great, right?"

lol

Re: #84
This guy's an idiot.
I just posted something that looked like it'd get a lot of replies.

Some people say the water looks great — so which is it?

That water-splash effect showed up, lol

What is this liquid? Looks seriously viscous.

Re: #91
Running the "desperation checker" on me, lol (a tool tracking how often one poster replies in a thread)
Lots of replies today! Good way to kill some time.
100AnonymousSep 18, 2026 18:27
Got a ton of bites, lol
FYI, I'm mocking Wolverine too 🤣
108AnonymousSep 18, 2026 18:28
Kind of rich for someone with way more "FE this, FE that" posts than actual Wolverine-mocking ones to be saying Re: #100.
101AnonymousSep 18, 2026 18:27
Re: #97
This guy always says this — is it just that he can't admit he's losing the argument?

Background and Key Points of This Debate

The “Gehā” board (hardware and industry discussion) has a well-established culture of Nintendo fans and PlayStation fans trading nicknames while hammering each other with their own arguments, and this thread became a case of comparing two completely different genres — GTA6 and Fire Emblem — on the single axis of “30fps.” Some pointed out that SRPGs and action games have different framerate demands, so it isn’t simply a matter of one side being right. The “69% positive” review score cited in the thread came only from a screenshot, and the thread itself doesn’t clarify which title it refers to or over what period it was measured. Midway through the discussion, a tangent about a separate “Wolverine” thread got mixed in — unrelated to the original 30fps debate — which is typical of how conversations sprawl on this board.
