I just discovered this place for the first time like a month ago and it revs up some kind of a hunter-gatherer mode

I'd be remiss not to recommend one of the Monster Ranchers. Ultra Kaiju on the Switch is one of the most beginner-friendly.

huh... what's that sound? it kinda sounds like someone being sung

I feel it, albeit more northerly.

Several Fire Emblems new and old go that route to varying degrees of success. I'd also tried the Agarest War series after hearing that generational progression was a defining feature, but unfortunately that one didn't grab me enough to reach that point. Plus there's always stuff like Crusader Kings.

Seriously!? I must have fallen off the Wii U version before getting to it... Yet another reason to get the Switch one coming up, then.

mood?? or something

(Reinhard's character selection quote--objectively, randomized tutorial text--was "Take the bow from an archer, and he can fight no longer." But knowing what happened at Ziekden Fortress, Reinhard himself being an archer--his story became as clear as if Square themselves had told it to me.)
