Have there been any impressions on the map design from either previews or data miners? I saw some maps in the trailers, but they looked really bland -- lots of open, empty spaces like Awakening's.

TBH, I'm not even a fan of map gimmicks, so I really only have complaints. The worst for me were the lava, snow shoveling, wind currents, fox illusions, and the goddamn map where all your units on a particular side of the map would get damaged, plus obstacle destruction.

Kaze is a god. His speed makes him kill things very well, and anything he can't kill is basically down to 1 HP thanks to Snake Venom. When you get Dual and Sting Shurikens on him, he can cover most enemy types.

I'm on Chapter 23 on Hard right now, and Birthright latter chapters are a pain in tne ass. Can't say I'm having a good time with it.

I like replaying FE games, but I'm not sure if I can bring myself to replay Fates. The chapters just slow you down way too much, mostly because of overdone obstacles. I hate that DV can be used against me too. I just feel a little overwhelmed by how much I have to consider in Fates: DV gimmicks, annoying amounts of obstacles, debuffs, new weapon triangle, trying to support grind during main chapters, dual guard gauge... It's just too much and makes planning my moves so uncertain. I prefer the simplicity of RD and prior, TBH. That said, I think the way they balanced the weapons was pretty interesting, and definitely and improvement over past games.

For some reason, I had intended on banging both my lil bros, but now I've decided against Takumi and replaced him witb Jakob as my husband in Birthright. Still gonna marry Leo in Revelation, and I decided on Zero in Conquest.

Biggest disappointment is that I won't be able to marry Koyasu Niles or Miyano Leo. :/ Camilla is a huge step down too. Might mute if I'm not feeling the voices.

Subaki and Mozu are shit names, while Niles is kind of dull compared to Zero. Joker never really fit with the character, so I'm OK with Jakob. I prefer Nishiki to Kaden though, just because the latter feels oddly not-Japanese if pronounced like Kayden. Beruka is really weird - just doesn't sound natural. Like I think it's supposed to be western-sounding name like Bertha, but it just looks like romaji the way it's spelled.

"Sakura cries like a punk bitch in the original. American Sakura is hardcore" Lmao

I think you get different dialogue when married in the Japanese version.

Not happy that companies are taking advantage of our weak dollar. It's not like they'll lower the prices if our dollar ever goes back up again.

Would have been fine with Awakening not getting dual audio, since the English was superb. But I definitely mind some of the voices in Fates already. Pretty disappointing.

I feel like if dual audio was in, they would've confirmed it by now as a sort of feature. Hope it's in though.

When in battle, how many interactions (that form hearts) does it take for a pair to go from one support rank to the next? Also, does it still take at least two maps to move ranks?

I can never have a team of 100% beautiful children because some of the mothers have shitty hair colours (Peri/Camilla/Azura being the most glaringly obvious examples). Awakening was better in this regard, IMO.
