Fire Emblem Fates Buying Strategies

Post Reply New Topic

I've decided to buy Birthright and then Revelation as DLC. I'm going to skip Conquest [potentially], since hard games are too much for me. What about you guys?
Also, which will you choose: Japanese or English dialogue? I'm going to go with Japanese, since that's what I like best [Studio Ghibli movies, The Last Story, and Xenoblade Chronicles I prefer in English, though].

I really want to play the Nhohr side, so if was going to pick a side it would have been that, but the whole split versions thing kind of muddies. That the Nohr side, Conquest, is harder, has put me off a bit, I really need to get myself to finish some of these harder JRPGs, and a harder challenge does not sound great. I do like to have the full experience, but all versions are set at about $200 (Australian), so it is a bit expensive.

I really like Corrin as part of the new Smash Bros. DLC, so I have been feeling good about the whole thing, so I think that I might actually go all in and get all versions as part of a Special Edition from EB Games. Although I have now be pondering how I will play them. I think it will be best to start with the easiest, then do the other side, and then finish off with the third, so: Birthright, Conquest and Revelations. I have also decided to play as both genders, so one gender in one game and then another gender the other, but that is causing some other problems.

As I said I really want to play Conquest, which would make sense that I play that version with the usual character I intend (male), although that would mean I would play female first, then male, and for balance sake I would do female again. But I am not sure I want to do what I will consider a “true playthrough of working with both ends as an unusual for me female character. I guess I might also want to think about romantic pairings, so who I think might want to pair with either of my characters…. Just looking into it appears that children are making a return in the game too, so there may be more to consider too. And apparently the is the one who picks the offspring this time.

So much to think of before even playing the game. I also want to get myself to finish Awakening, might try that once I am done with Etrian Odyssey Untold which has its sequel released this week.

Unfortunately for me, the special edition isn't available below $400 or even $500 on Amazon.ca or Ebay.ca. Oh well. I think there's three save files for each version, but I'm not too sure.
Corrin is now one of my favourite Smash Bros. characters! I did an epic Corrin VS Marth VS Ike VS Robin battle once!
I've been planning my pairings and I've kind of got a headache, so I'm only going to focus on my favourite characters and pair up everyone else as I go.
