I thought that it was a fine reason. Why is making a flawed decision a bad reason for making them fight? The characters made an ill-thought out, hasty decision, and the consequences bore that out. That seems a perfectly viable reason from a storytelling standpoint. To add to that, the characters are all well-motivated to do what they do, and the player already had the opportunity to make alternative decisions and see them through with Birthright & Conquest. Left to their own devices, Corrin, who is really sheltered, and Azura, who's a bad leader and generally bad with people, are shown to be inadequate to initially accomplish what they sought to achieve then. Not every decision is going to be a good one, and, after the choice to not pick a side, there's really not much they could do.

My problem isn't that it was a bad decision, it's that I'm unable to believe that they didn't see that coming, even it their decision was hasty. They would of had to of been downright delusional to think that would of ended well.

It just doesn't seem right to me.

I decided to play Lunatic/Classic, since hey, I'm able to handle it on Conquest.

Turns out, though, that the unit balance is awful right from the get go. I guess I'm going to have to grind, because most of the characters are sitting ducks and that wind won't let me take it slow to feed them EXP.

I dunno, something smarter than what they did. IS promised an amazing story, so I expected them to come up with a better reason to make them fight than that.

Even if it was just Ryoma and Xander going "if you're not with us, you're against us", that'd still be a better and more believable reason for them to be fighting then what actually happened.

I don't remember IS promising anything story-wise. All they said was that they had a popular manga writer doing the story.

Almost all of the advertising for the three games revolved around the story. They made a pretty huge deal out of it.

The story isn't bad, but I expected more out of it.

Something I've been wondering is ya know how one of the defining features of Fates is that Birthright is Awakening-esque in gameplay while Conquest is more like pre-Awakening FE games? What's Revelations supposed to be like then?

Well, Conquest actually isn't much like any of the FE games I've played before. The gameplay is actually really unique and different (in a good way, most of the time) - the reason it gets compared to the old ones is because you have to deal with finite gold and Exp, and because there's more varied map objectives.

Birthright was supposed to be easier and newcomer friendly, Conquest was supposed to be difficult to appeal to veterans, and Revelations is supposed to be somewhere in between. I think Revelations has varied map objectives as well, but I've only just started it.

Found some interesting fan-made sprites for any fellow Zelda fans on here.

Kotor · Apr 9, 2016

Did anyone here ACTUALLY made an attempt to fight and defeat the Chapter 12 boss of Birthright?

Laken64 · Apr 9, 2016

It does, revelations also stresses more on Dragon vains than the others from what I've heard.

I'm on that chapter right now and I have every intention of doing so.

Armagon · Apr 9, 2016

I made these in Photoshop. I regret nothing.

I didn't alter the text because that would've taken too much work.

Erureido · Apr 9, 2016

Oh, the boss in Birthright Chapter 12?

I remember my first time playing that chapter, I accidentally had Hinoka within Garon's range, 3 spaces away to be exact, so when he attacked as that dramatic music started playing, I was just like "Wait, WHAT?" I was shocked because when I saw his stats prior, I knew I shouldn't even bother approaching him, and here I was, praying to dear Naga that her partner, Silas, would come in and save the day with a Dual Guard, but nope, Garon straight up murders Hinoka. That's when I had to give this chapter a second try.

Come to think of it, I didn't even both going after Xander when I noticed his stats were pretty high at that point in the game (nowhere as high as Garon's though), but after playing through Conquest Chapter 12, I'm going to go for the challenge and take down Xander in Chapter 12 should I replay Birthright.

Oh yeah, I finished Conquest Chapter 20 today, as well as Velouria and Siegbert's Paralogues.

So we now have a repeat of Birthright Chapter 8 where Fuga wants to battle us just to see if we are worthy of wielding the Yato.

I can definitely understand why this chapter can be brutally hard. Those wind patterns can bring you into the wrong enemies that can take out your units easily. The chapter has a pretty good map design though.

On Normal though, this chapter wasn't as hard as I though it would be, although I had a few very close calls: Both Leo and Beruka almost died, with Nyx and Kaze pulling off a lucky Dual Guard to save them respectively right when they were about to be KOd.

Duable map overall. Glad that Velouria joins you the moment she appears. Wasn't too hard dealing with those Dark Knights on those Fire Orbs, though my avatar had a few close calls when he stayed back to deal with the Faceless. Good thing I reached a fort in time.

So Velouria doesn't seem to be as playful as Selkie, but Velouria is definitely far more attached to her father than Selkie is to Kaden. I mean, roughly 60-70% of Velouria's dialogue involves Keaton. Not like I mind though. I can get used to Velouria with that cute look of hers and her more animal-like behavior when she sniffs people affectionately and shows of the wild things she collects.

Well, Siegbert is pretty much the spitting image of his father, unlike Shiro to Ryoma. First thing when Xander and his son meet, Siegbert goes on about following everything in his father's footsteps: training and handwriting included, not to mention Siegbert is a pretty serious dude like Xander. He's still cool though.

So the mission here is use all the Dragon Vein tiles, then route the enemy. Duable overall, and I'm glad the game was kind to us and allowing us to have Siegbert the moment the chapter began. I paired him with Velouria, and they made a pretty good duo. Can't wait to see how their supports will develop from there.

And with that, it looks like I'll have to put Conquest aside for now as I reach the busiest week of my semester. At the rate this is going, it seems more likely that I won't finish Conquest until some point either late to the end of April, with Revelation not being started until early May. I guess starting Revelation late is a good thing though, because by that point, my summer vacation begins. We'll see how these next weeks develop.

I didn't because there was no reason to so we just head on made our escape. Even if we did, it wouldn't end well because I remember all my units were still in their lower base class.

It's suicide to charge him head on with such high stats.

Tarastel · Apr 10, 2016

Hmm, just read something interesting on Serenes Forest. It was mainly on how the supports could reach S-Rank. Now, while she doesn't have a number of the best ones(albeit, she has some of the worse ones) Soleil's S-Rank with Corrin feels like it's how a lot of the supports should have gone. It's more of a "they'll try and start a relationship while already being close friends" than "I've loved you from the very beginning, even when I was constantly insulting you." Not all of them need to follow this pattern, but some of them I feel would have really benefited from this kind of S-rank. Just something to mull over.

So did anything ever happen to the Corrin Discord group M@v was trying to put together? Is it still a thing? I feel like I'm missing out on a lot of information that could help me, and that would be the place to go to learn more.

https://discordapp.com/channels/126443891070074880/126453520013459456 That may work? I don't know if it'll send you an invite...that's the main Corrin Discord, I'm not a mod though.

All it does is load the groups I'm already in, with no invite to anything new.

I did not know Azura had a unique model for Sky Knight. It looks pretty good on her.

Haha with the high collar and those pauldrons, it looks like her neck has all but disappeared

Armagon · Apr 10, 2016

Next week, i'm changeing Anna to a Witch. She's clearly better suited for magic attacks and as an Adventurer, Shining Bows are really the only thing that will get her kills but since it can't crit or trigger offensive skills, her full potential is wasted.

ZephyrZ · Apr 10, 2016

So I decided to recruit Kumagera from my unit logbook with Revelations, and much to my surprise, he wasn't an Einherjar unit. He's got a normal portrait and he grunts in combat an everything. I like that. The white background on Einherjar units kind of bugs me when I use them. It was the Lunatic mode version of him to, so he's got max weapon rank and the Darting Blow/Certain Blow/Countermagic skills.

That said, it's also be kind of funny. It means that if I replayed Conquest, I could potentially make Kumagera battle with himself.

TMNTSSB4 · Apr 11, 2016

Well Birthright and Conquest are finished; all that's left to accomplish is Revelations

TMNTSSB4 · Apr 12, 2016

Why can't I watch cutscenes of Fates outside of the save files like in Awakening

Deleted member · Apr 12, 2016

This thread needs to be more active. D:

Also I can't play the Anna on the Run DLC. I'm pretty sure I bought it (since I bought the map pack) but it says it will be available at a later time. o.o

Why, I'm procrastinating a 200 point essay for my dual enrollment class right now!

Kotor · Apr 12, 2016

Has anyone ever exploited the dialogue in Fates and/or in Awakening?

atreyujames · Apr 12, 2016

My favourite children so far are Asugi (By far), Selkie, and Mitama. Something about how Asugi doesn't care about anything but sweets, even in the midst of battle, makes him a really fun unit for me

Selkie is just the best.

She shouts "Arf!" when she attacks.

Er, I did not know it was so onerous to go into a save file to watch a cutscene...! Although, really, the cutscenes that I really like watching have music, and I'm thinking of one in particular... Good god, shut up Garon. I want the song without your crappy "groans of increasing discomfort."

But, no, really, does anyone know where I can hear that song without Garon's grunts?

I don't mind Garon's groaning in the English version(the Japanese version on the other hand...no)
