So hey, actually playing the game is awesome! You know how Awakening only had Rout the Enemy maps? This game actually has several different objctives and things to help you with them. The current map I'm on re-introduces ballistas and magic ballistas which hit multiple targets, which is great cause the objective is to protect the green squares at the top of the map, and the enemies come in droves.

This is but one of many good maps, I assure you.

A few of those things have been present in previous Fire Emblem games like altering characterization, changing names, injecting humor, but people now are complaining about it? I'm sorry, but this gets under my skin. They seem to be doing this to push an agenda rather than being a fan of the series.
I guess a lot of people only got into the series with Awakening and never went through the localisation process before. Besides, a lot of the name changes aren't even changes - just alternative ways of Romanising the Japanese names.

Good to know! Ballistae and Protect maps were features of the series in FE7-10 that I really enjoyed, so I'm happy they're back. Just as long as there aren't any maps that are Ballista City - FE11 and 12 had a few of those and they were Not Fun.

The game sold well thank god. Selling 300,000 units in the opening weekend which was five times a many as Awakening.


I didn't think that the Hoshido to Nohr would be a big deal but damn, its like going from the NCAA straight to the NFL.

I am glad Fire Emblem has been saved from relative obscurity. Smash Bros and a revamped game system in Awakening did good things, no matter how much people complain.

This is me coming off finishing Conquest and NEVER WANTING TO DO THAT AGAIN HO BOY THAT WAS ROUGH.

What I'm saying is older-Emblem requires planning and that doesn't blend well with me wanting to pair everyone up.

From what I've heard of Conquest it sounds harder than some of the older games.

Even Birthright feels about as hard as the first part of Radiant Dawn, at least here its because the enemy units have actual stats and not because you have bad units.

Conquest Hard has been a nice challenging difficulty. I'm pretty sure I've had to restart every Chapter I've played since Ch. 7. Shoutout to Dread Fighter Kaze and his insane 20+ STR and 20+ SPD.

I don't think this was posted before, but here is the Japanese popularity poll on Fire Emblem Fates which influences the various Season 2 DLC. Compare it with the Awakening popularity poll and you might notice that there are more 2nd generation child characters in the top 10 of the Awakening poll (3 each on the men and women side) while Fates has no male characters in the top 10 and 1 female character at #10.

This is probably because if you know what the explanation is behind child characters in Fates, they wouldn't be as collectively popular. Child characters also have no plot importance either while Awakening at least had Lucina in the main plot.

You can already find images for Season 2 of the DLC since it's been released in Japan already. The DLC that features child characters (Awakening had the Hot Spring One) is kinda rigged by the developers because it doesn't actually give CG art for the top 3 ranking child characters on the male and female sides. Going by the poll, it's suppose to feature 11th, 18th, and 23rd place for the male side and 10th, 13th, and 14th for the female side. Male side has the character that ranked 26th (Shigure) instead of 23rd (Shiro) while the female side has the character that ranked 22nd (Midori) and skipped 14th (Soleil), 16th (Selkie), and 19th (Velouria). No idea why this is.

Good for Oboro for getting third place despite being a minor character! She's great.

Shit Japan what are you doing. At least Leo and Xander are ranked one and two.

You can almost never trust Japan with these. Kirito was on one for several years at a time.

I think Takumi's 3rd place is deserved. His faults are actually faults and he gets proper development. Azama is also less "nihilistic funny" and more "asshole" in the Japanese script. I don't understand really get why Kagero is that low and how female Corrin ranked 1st, so you got me there.

The biggest issure is Orochi being dead last. While she isn't an absolute favorite of mine, several of her supports are entertaining, like Kaze and Odin's.

Yukimara being dead last is ABOUT RIGHT THOUGH.
