Fire Emblem Fates General Discussion: Filled with Nohrian Scum

[bloomwaker]

Oh, you're doing them both at once~
I don't think my brain would forgive me if I had tried that.

Now that I've finished all three on casual mode, I'll be starting up three files on Lunatic though, and then slowly playing through each at a much slower pace. I just really wanted to avoid more spoilers (since I saw some thanks to the way some people title their videos).

I need to catch up to my horribly neglected to-do list first, though...

I played for 10 hours every day since it came out so that I could finish as quickly as possible.

I've been doing Nohr more often and I switch to Hoshido if I get frustrated. However, I won't be starting Revelations until both files are completely finished.

 

[Cress]

Finally got around to visiting everyone's castles.

I must've miscounted then D: I do play as FeMU so I won't have any problem getting all the kids. Didn't they have a forever alone guy in Awakening to prevent this? I thought they'd do the same here but I guess they've made too many characters.

In other news, am I just lucky with Takumi's stat growths or is he OP? He's been killing everything in his path everytime I use him.

I think so, It's been awhile since I last played Awakening (Plus I kinda skipped out on Laurent, Yarne and Inigo). Seems like a pretty big oversight, though.

I had Takumi underleveled for awhile and he was still one-shotting enemies.

Spoiler: birthright spoilers

[xBlablahi]

Meanwhile I'm here in Europe still crying

Just accidently deleted my Birthright file while trying to delete a Battle Save, since I forgot to fully log off the "Delete" menu. While I did beat it, I'm still really upset because I want to have all my accounts in order and I want to play them all in order. This means that now I have to go ahead and restart the file. Ugh, my spring break was meant for Conquest. At least I won't make the mistakes like I used to and I can forge for skills a lot earlier, but still extremely disappointed...

I have 2 save files for every path (I mean you have a total of 9 save files total if you get all 3 versions, I'm not going to be using them all at once) just in case I did that. Hasn't happened to me yet but I'm sorry it happened to you.

Yeah, from now on I'm making a copy, and now I don't know if I should play both at the same time, like let's say 5 chapters each at a time before, or not. I really wanted to play Conquest, but I don't want to have to concentrate between both paths.

 

[Cam1]

Picked up my special edition yesterday and already beat birthright lol oops. It's a really nice story. I personally enjoyed it a lot, and just started Conquest. I can't wait for the challenge, and I prefer most of the Nohrian characters, so this should be fun!

 

[bloomwaker]

Good luck!

Birthright was definitely the quickest path for me.

 

[Cress]

Oboro just completely wrecked the Arena XD
Round 1: Rend Heaven followed by a crit from Ryoma.
Round 2: Crit.
Round 3: Critical Rend Heaven.

Ive never seen anyone else do so great in the Arena.

 

[radical6]

im almost done with birthright, after this im probably gonna finish a casual nohr route so i can finish the story and then start min maxing the children next time.

right now i married the kids for...hair colors. hinoka is a good mother for caledori though i think, and it gives her cordelia's bright red hair <3

 

[Trent the Paladin]

Just nuked my CH 16 Birthright save to go get my retainer back gdi

 

[Kittyinpink87]

i just finished both Nohr and Hoshido.
i like Nohr a LOT more.

 

[bloomwaker]

Conquest definitely has the more interesting mechanics and goals between the two. I'm also more biased towards that family, and have been from the beginning, though.

Birthright did make me go "ow" more, as far as emotions go.

Spoiler: Leo

I love that Leo is almost completely and totally nice no matter what route you take. Poor guy can't stay mad at you for long. Such a helpful brother.

 

[Ayaya]

Sakura is so great as an Onmyouji, she's even better than Orochi and Hayato lol

 

[Thunder]

Looks like I visited Ayaya's Castle enough to get a bond unit. I was told their appearance was gonna be completely random, but the one I got looks a lot like Aya's Corrin, save for the squinty eyes it took from my dude.

Pretty neat, but I don't think I'll find myself using her very often.

 

[MishMeesh]

I know this may seem like a dumb question but I could use some help figuring this out. My 3DS was at max capacity for how many games I could have with streetpass turned on when I started Fates, and I only just now got rid of one to try to make room for Birthright. I'm on chapter 12 in the game, and I haven't seen an option anywhere that turns on streetpass. I turned on spotpass but it never asked me about streetpass. I'm not sure if it's on by default and just didn't get added because my streetpass game roster was full or if I have to turn it on myself but I don't know what to do about it now. Does anyone know where in the game I have to go to turn it on? ;~;

EDIT: nvm I found it lol

 

[JCnator]

So, fans have looked on the files from the game and stumbled on some dubbed skinship lines of Silas. It seems that at one point during the North American localization, they were going to leave the skinship feature intact for that version of the game and dub the rest of the characters until much later. Some people theorized that this could end up being in the European version of the game.

I'll avoid linking to the source this time around, since those lines are potentially not safe for work (NSFW).
