WHY WAS THIS NOT A TOPIC YET???
(https://rmrk.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gamespresso.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2015%2F11%2FFire-Emblem-Fates1.jpg&hash=4b9e17ab96579db0be06cd0a1f90fe5293efa0d2)
Me and Yuyu, both got different versions. I got Conquest, and she got Birthright.
Then were going to switch, and then were going to play Revelation when it come out. :3
Tho I already beat Conquest and Im already basically halfway through Birthright :[
-
I got the special edition so I've already played through all 3. Gameplay is awesome, story is decent (miles better than Awakening, though), music is terrific. The My Castle thing is pretty nifty, I hope they expand on that idea in future games.
I think between just Birthright and Conquest, I prefer Conquest. It's hard to say, really. The story of Birthright is better, but I like the more traditional FE style of Birthright. Revelation is pretty cool, and the story certainly makes more sense than the other two, but if I were to replay just one in the future I'd probably stick to Conquest.
I like that there's so many new skills and I'm really glad they changed up the whole "pair up" thing from Awakening, so it's not so overpowered.
The only real complaint I have is I don't like the way the, uh... character stats/inventory/menu thing on the bottom screen is laid out in battle. I don't like that stat buffs are colored black when they were always like blue or green before (it took me a long time to figure out that wasn't a debuff to my stats). This is also worse considering weapons and skills change stats so much now. I mean you can just touch the stat and the little infobox comes up but I still don't like it. I guess it's not that big of a deal, it just seems weird that a 4th of the screen is dedicated to the character portrait. And I don't like the art style. But whatever, great game(s). Might be my favorite in the series.

I hate the stupid have kids, then player can marry said kids. Like thats just creepy, im old enough to be their parent!
Hated that in awakening too.

I also hate how the important characters always call you brother/sister, considering how you can have S supports with them all...
I got the special edition so I've already played through all 3.
Im so jealous, I didnt do enough research ahead of time to even find out there was a third version before it was too late! I cant wait until March 10th D:
-
I'm really looking forward to revelations so I can not have to experience the awfulness of picking a side. I like Ryoma and Xander. :<
Also the brother/sister thing is dumb. Especially if you marry one of your "brothers" who magically fall in love with you upon realizing there ain't no shared blood... So it's ok!!!
More text incoming when I'm on my computer next and have time. Overall? GG! ;o;

I married Xander, then there was some dramatic moment in the game and he be like "Sister!"
way to ruin my romance, bro. :anski2:

lol I never even thought of that happening. Japan is weird.
I don't really pay attention much to the marriage aspect. I just build supports and kinda let it be its own thing. If an S-rank conversation is available, I just go for it, and I don't position people in battle so that they'll build support faster and end up being married or anything. So I ended up marrying Hana, then Arthur (lol), then Kaze.
I'm kinda mixed about the whole marriage/children aspect of FE games. It's like, well yeah, it's neat, but also the children almost always are terrible to use in battle so who cares. But then if there weren't children then there's not really any point in having a marriage system. But also I know a lot of people are really into that part of the game, and there's nothing wrong with that, so I wouldn't want it removed or anything.

I wasn't going to bother until it was announced that all 3 games were on one cartridge for the same price as buying them individually, which is pretty convenient. I got really lucky because they sold out in like 5 minutes lol

Lol Arthur!
I like to go completionist with FE and get every single support, which I couldnt do in Conquest and that killed me lol
I think the children thing wouldnt be nearly as bad if they werent always magically aged and marriageable, like I like having more characters but thats just creeepy.

Daang, and yet I see so many peoples "My Castles" who have it lol
-
So I saw this and was super excited.
Then I remembered I uh...
Haven't beaten Awakening yet...
I'm ashamed.
-
Its better than Awakening anyway. They don't even have much related either
-
Me and Dr.Mc ended up preferring each other's games. :p I've started Conquest and like it soooo much better. The complexity is insanely fun and the characters just seem more interesting (even if we don't have a male pegasus knight on this side... ;_; ). Xander is my stoic blond, beautiful man waifu (followed by Niles and Laslow and Leo and maybe Odin and most definitely Arthur). I think I'll enjoy Revelations the most, but this game is pretty rad. ;o;
I think one of the only complains I have is that the "children" thing is a little dumb. It's cute to see the characters have varying stats and hair colors, but the entire system is pretty much shoehorned awkwardly into the plot. At least Awakening had a reason for including the children (although the story wasn't too great). u_u I'd be happy with more character customization for the allies; the accessory stuff was on the right track (even if you can't actually see your characters fighting in bath towels heh heh)...

lo it's husbando, u non-weeb

But waifu desu!!! Kawaii sugoi!!!! >_<
... I don't know what I'm saying :(

I'm halfway through Birthright and Conquest at Chapter 19 and 23 respectively and i've got to say, i'm having a blast with the difficulty they added in especially in Conquest. Gonna go through Revelations soon (I have the special edition) right after i'm done with both stories though.
