As someone who's never played Phantom Hourglass I always see Linebeck as Linebacker.

Fates were my first FE games actually, then I played Echoes and saw what an actually good game looked like lel
Though really, I quite like Conquest, definitely the best game and route imo with the best characters (very thankful I don't have to put up with takumi for a whole game).
But it definitely should have been one route, and if you ask me that should've been Rev's route of not choosing either side and getting friends from both sides.

Still have PH weapons.
We all know that, just like Smash, characters are the only thing that matter.
"Oh man, there's a PH weapon, that's clearly what I remember from the game and exactly what I wanted from it!"
Course not.

Cause you're dead.
Bernians are backstabbing snakes who would literally kill the person who saved their life.
Do not associate me with them.

I don't know about you guys but I appreciated the idea of three routes in Fire Emblem Fates. It was something different and ended up with different heroes, villains and endings.

Just that it had terrible story execution. Birthright was well... it was done alright. Revelations was weakly done imo and I haven't played Conquest.

While Fire Emblem Fates isn't a game I would repurchase, I enjoyed it's variety in new classes, approved of the balance and how it had a better Lunatic Mode than Awakening. Some of the characters were cool too.

Now I can't see your signature without thinking of the Pulverizing Pinball.

Backstabbing is interaction.

Agreed all round. Great idea, messy execution.

I don't even necessarily think that their plan of execution - hire an outside writer to kick things into gear - was a bad approach. Kind of wish I could see his spec scripts to understand where **** diverged so sharply.

That’s cause I don’t like to be told what to do. I thought everyone knew that about me..
I see my mistake. Let me try something else:

Dinosaur with a very long neck.

I think.

Quote me on this, praline.

"Fates was a good idea, bad execution"

TBH, the idea is probably what hurt the execution. If they didn't try to make 3 different games, the game would have probably been way better and much more focused. So I can't even call it a good idea.
Vanoss, Delirious, Wildcat, Basically, and Nogla mostly.
<---- is currently watching a Vanoss vid.

I kind of assumed I was the only one here lol.

You know what's ****ing hot? Humanizing the enemy soldiers as human people instead of dehumanizing them as faceless mooks.
God, I'm loving Valkyria Chronicles

That's probably the whole deal with Fates. It had great ideas, the gameplay is very good and some of the gameplay additions, like A+ Support, Class Sharing, My Castle, Hidden weapons, the new Weapon Triangle, Skill buying, unbreakable weapons, etc, are great additions.
But the story's execution was terrible and even contradictory at times. While the character's Supports are fine, in the main story, they either have the personality of a BFF or are acting like a child for not getting their way. The main character suffers greatly from player worship, but at the same time, the writing does not allow them to have a chance to develop as either the story is making something happen right away or the writing is having the other characters act like brats, having them give insults or dramatic speeches of "betrayal" and not giving the main character some talking room to develop or show a backbone. And then you have Conquest's story in which it feels like a 2nd writer took over the 2nd half and suddenly force the player to change their main objective.

Either way, the gameplay is great, the idea was good, but the execution was horrible.

You ever meet that bad sniper who's trying to snipe you and gets so mad he kills himself?

Met'em on CoD WW2. I was ****ing with him by dodging his shots, then he finally cooked a frag and charged me. Didn't even hit me and blew himself up.

I would feel bad if I wasn't laughing so hard.
