The Stoneborns are terryifing. I installed one near the throne of My Castle and viewed it to see its animations. Its pre-battle animation is scary. Speaking of My Castles, what did you all name it? I named mine "Dragon Tail".
Now, I'm aware Birthright is considered the "easy" version, but are the maps actually easier, or is it just called that because you have endless grinding available to you if the levels are too challenging? Things have gotten a bit simpler now that all of my units have been promoted, but prior to that I had been given an awful lot of squishy units, and maps full of enemies with sharp objects to stick in their bellies. The game's still being awfully stingy about HP gains, even with my units promoted. Felicia, Sakura, and Orochi would all die to a stiff breeze if I slip up a little.

Although those maps with the Faceless have been REALLY easy so far... they couldn't even scratch Jakob, Silas, Oboro, and Mozu.
Mainly endless grinding and victory conditions being mostly kill everything or kill boss is what makes Birthright the "easy" version.

Chapter 12's a lot easier if you just have a Sky Knight ferry Corrin over to the exit point.
I don't think having a Sky Knight ferrying Corrin to the exit point would work in Conquest Ch.12. I do have a Sky Knight (thank you Niles for your capture ability). I also had Shigure but i reclassed him into a Nohr Prince.

I felt really bad for Elise
And its exactly for that reason that i'm probably ever gonna play Birthright once. If Revelation comes out before i beat Conquest, i'll skip Birthright entirely and head straight for Revelation. There's a reason why i don't want to play Birthright but i won't say.

Gee, I wonder why? :p
I saw this scene in-game last night. It was honestly really random and weird. I get that Camilla's schtick is being sexy/creepy and deadly, but did there really need to be a whole cutscene dedicated to 'Hey, did you miss this sex appeal character from the early chapters? Did you forget about her? Well here she is! Look at that ridiculous design. Mmm-mm... Hey, don't hit Start! We spent a lot of money on this otherwise pointless cutscene!!'

Yeah, but the version I was responding to was Birthright, so yeh.

I'm gonna assume the reason you don't want to play Birthright is the same reason I was going to skip Birthright entirely at first. It's still gonna hit my heart hard...

So for everybody playing Fates, is there a thread or something where we can all put down our Castle Addresses?

I'm in the middle of Conquest and I've been holding off from proceeding the main story (at Chapter 15 right now) because I've spent so much time in my castle just building and rearranging things around. I'd also like to take people on in battles just to see how we all fare.

Here's mine for those who care to visit, lemme know what ya' think!

After seeing the past set of posts, am I to assume that Birthright is easier than Conquest? It would make sense, since the Hoshido family is supposed to be like the good guys, and I think I recalled hearing that the game becomes harder if you joined the Nohr family.

Yeah Hoshido wages war against Nohr while if you choose Nohr you have to deal with Hoshido's forces AND change/reform Nohr. From a history stance of view its harder to change from the inside while an invading force can easily change your kingdom if you lose. Either way they both have a common enemy/antagonist in the end whether you choose blood or bond.

I'm picturing what you are referring to. I can assure you that I have similar feelings when it comes to Conquest; while I will inevitably play the game, a part of me is telling me, "You're sure you want to play this game, dude? Do you really want to see what happens to some of your favorite Hoshido siblings?"

This kind of makes you wonder about Azura, since she's a member of the Nohr family. It also makes you wonder how hard Revelations will be, since that's the neutral path.

The thing about Fates is that there's no clear line between good and bad in both of your families. The Hoshido family may look all goody two-shoes, but then you've got Takumi who's racist against Nohrians. And the Nohrian family, with the exception of Elise, may look evil at times, but they're just trying to make Nohr a better place. And even though Xander calls you a traitor and stuff, he's the Camus archtype where he only fights you out of loyalty of his kingdom.

Revelation is a mix between Birthright and Conquest's difficulty.

I'm referring to a few things in Birthright, not just what your picturing.

You have to name my castle? Oh deer lord Arceus, that'll be more difficult than naming my character.

The default castle name is Ft. *insert Avatar name here*. But you can name it whatever you want.

And they say that every family has a bad apple (or a good apple in Nohr's case).

Well I just beat both versions of chapter 6. I leave my thoughts in a spoiler.(Even thought there are no plot spoilers)
The first thing that comes to mind is that they REALLY make you feel bad no matter which side you choose.
It's going to be tough having to fight the siblings on either side.


Also I'm really liking Jakob's voice.

That scene is in Birthright.
Well, she's telling you picked the wrong path and missed out on being with onee-sama. :p

Rhajat's encounter with Corrin, though... And there was no cutscene! It was all text! *shivers in terror*

Noob question, I've been here for almost 2 months and I don't even know how to do spoiler boxes. Help?

I've noticed that I've been making a total of 1 chapter progress per day in Conquest (not counting supports and other stuff). I'm currently on Ch.13 and i'll probably beat that tomorrow. I did the calculations and found out that, at the rate i'm currently going, i'll finish Conquest the day before Revelation comes out (and if that end up happening, i get to skip Birthright). And speaking of Revelation, i'm glad that it comes out on March 10th because that's a Thursday and i have classes that i actually enjoy on Thursday which means the school day will go by quickly.

You type [spoiler*][/spoiler*] (minus the *) and put whatever text you want inbetween. Like so:

I'm feeling the Bern baby!




Also, I named My Castle "He Fei Castle."

I'm such a Dynasty Warriors nerd.

I would name my castle: The easiest castle and put some maximized characthers with broken skills and a bunch of things to make the enemy rages

Name a castle? Conquest route: Castlevania and Corrin's name as... Dracula. Now all we need is a vampire class... We already have fireballs. :p

For Hoshido, with the eye patch option, samurai class, and dragon thing going on, Yonezawa Castle and Corrin as Date (Masamune). Put ya guns on! Problem with this is that we can't pick colors for Corrin's armor... Maybe Kenshin Uesugi would work better...
