Hey Guys, With the recent release of "The Making of Fire Emblem" book I thought that it might be a good idea to make a forum post related to sharing information about Fates provided in the book. Is there any concept art, official art, interesting facts like age or height, etc? Please feel free to share any thoughts, pictures or interesting facts here. I'm sure that those of us without the book will be excited to see and hear about the content.

A topic for asking and answering questions about Skinship in Fire Emblem: Fates. If this topic has already been done and is still active, I can't find it. I'll ask the first question: What do the different background colors mean in the Skinships? Ex: Xander's background is dark blue, Lazward's is green, etc?

So far, the only Dark Mage-exclusive tome obtainable/accessible in Fire Emblem Fates is Nosferatu. Obviously, this gives Shadowgift users low viability unless you're a Witch. So for fun (and ideas for Intelligence Systems to write down if they ever find a way to implement these into the game), what kind of brand new or old Dark tomes do you suggest they put into Fates? Now for the ground rules: You can only make up to 5 suggested Dark tomes Only recurring Dark magic are acceptable. This is not like Awakening, sadly. Sorry fanboys. Some exceptions like Poison, Waste, or Mire may apply. They must be balanced in order to fit the nature of the gameplay (ex.: Strong but slow, +5 Def but -5 Res, Might halved after use for one turn, etc.) Must be so that Dark Mages/Sorcerers and Shadowgift users are no more viable as other Magic-based units except Witches because less face it, they're unadulterated sh*t wreckers. Your reasoning for said Dark tomes must be at least adequate. My personal suggestions for more Dark Magic tomes are: Fenrir - 3 Might, 60 Hit, 0 Crit, -20 Avoid. 3 Range. Cannot double attack. A Rank. Eclipse - 0 Might, 30 Hit, 0 Crit. 3-10 Range. Halves enemy's current HP. After usage, cannot be used again for 3 turns. B Rank. Luna - 0 Might, 65 Hit, 20 Crit. Negates enemy's Resistance. All stats -2 when equipped. C Rank. Ruin - 5 Might, 60 Hit, 50 Crit. Critical hits deal 2x more damage instead of 3x. C Rank. Goetia - 17 Might, 65 Hit, 10 Crit, -30 Avoid. -30 Critical Avoid. Ability to double attack -5, enemy's ability to double attack -5. S Rank. And yes, they all have 1-2 range. Note: The following reasoning below is going off by Conquest playthrough scenario. Your experience may differ when you're wrecking sh*t as a Witch when utilizing Dark Mages/Sorcerers in other routes or Shadowgift. Fenrir is pretty much the Expert weapon of the magic-oriented class. You're 1 and even 2 Range counter options are turned off,but in return you can snipe you're enemies out of their range as well! That and Fenrir sounds badass as hell. =3 I removed the Might from Eclipse because I don't see how it has any effect on halving your foes' current HP (unless anyone would like to prove me wrong). Anyways, unlimited usage means unlimited chances of lowering the boss's health for an easier fight. If you're worried it'll be too overpowered, HAH! When you use it, regardless if it hits or not, you have to wait for it to recharge for 3 turns before using it again. Luna. Resistance ignorance. All stats decrease. 'Nuff said. Ruin is an excellent choice if you have a crit happy unit like Odin. And finally, Goetia is made to be the foil of Excalibur. Do you use the Excalibur for the accuracy, easy doubling, and delicious crits or this for the out-of-the-box high damage potential and high risk, high reward trade? That is the question. Anyways, share your thoughts on my analysis and happy commenting! ;) BTW, I just joined this forum. I hope we'll get along! ^v^

Hi guys, I was curious as to what class skills are the best in Fates in people's opinion?

According to the recent Nintendo Direct.... February 19th! I am so hyped.

So I should probably put up a thread for the FE IF Conquest anthology scans. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/nmxw9ogsip1k3rl/AACMASVjN44DmKH3kbk9SPYqa?dl=0 The link will lead you to the chapters that are completely scanned and ready to go. I will keep editing the chapters that are finished! Please support the artists by purchasing the book (I find it easier to do it through Amazon.jp, quick and easy). If you would like me to scan any future releases (such as The Making of Fire Emblem), please any donation you can to my Pay Pal via <script data-cfhash='f9e31' type="text/javascript"> /* */</script>, since I am unemployed and doing this in my spare time! (Book will cost me $50, I'm already putting my own money into it, around $20). Message me for more info! I will put in the chapter description of the main characters (or main focus as you like) in the chapter. "And others" means that other characters pop up for for only one panel or for a very small amount of time, aha. Table of Contents Chapter 1 Leon, Odin, Zero and others Chapter 2 Elise, Camilla, Felicia, Harold, and others Chapter 3 Marx, Lazwald, Luna, Aqua, and others Chapter 4 Foleo, Velour, Soleil, and others Chapter 5 Joker, Dia/Deere, Midoriko, and others Chapter 6 Zero, Nyx, Pieri, Luna, and others Chapter 7 Charlotte, Effie, Aqua, Luna, and others Chapter 8 Lutz, Deere/Dia, Eponine, and others Chapter 9 Camilla, Leon, and others Chapter 10 Velour, Kanna(f), Sophie, and others Chapter 11 Effie, Midoriko, Ophelia, Luna and so many other children.... Chapter 12 Joker, Kamui(f), Pieri, and others Chapter 13 Marx, Kamui(m), Felicia, and others Chapter 14 Shigure, Elise, and alot of others For translations, head on over to this topic!

I think it would be a fun thing on this site if members created their own class that they would like to see. anyway i thought of a class called a royal gaurd Lance - A, Sword - B Hp 65 Str 31 Mag 27 Skl 32 Spd 29 Lck 25 Def 33 Res 27 Mov 6 hope this topic doesn't burn

Because I'm pretty sure nobody's made a thread about this. I'm curious to see the different avatars people have made, as well as their Asset/Flaw, Secondary Class, and marrige choice. For example, I have a picture of my avatar attached this post. Her name is Kamui(real original), and her asset is Skill and her flaw is resistance. Her secondary class option is the Priestess class line, and I am S Ranking Flannel on the Nohr path and Takumi in the Invisible Kingdom path. Now you go. Here's an app so you can post a picture of your avatar. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://kamuicustomizer.appspot.com/&ved=0CBsQFjAAahUKEwjmi7rbjv_IAhWFSCYKHYopD80&usg=AFQjCNFWSeFVk73MAVH8JQ9B3qCOD5wuJw&sig2=L5_82V2UpbRTDbIRp31cTg

OK, Week 2 has come, and with it, another character to discuss in great detail. You may have noticed that from now on, the following week's character will be decided via a poll, and it will stay that way from now on. Anyway, this week we will coincidentally be analysing Sakura-sama's other subordinate, the tomboyish Samurai, Kazahana(or Hana). Kazahana is the first Samurai you are given on the Hoshido route, and she is the loyal subordinate of your little sister Sakura, being childhood friends with her, while Kazahana and Tsubaki(her partner) often bicker about small matters, such as who is the most loyal guard to Sakura. OK, enough talk, let's get to gameplay... CLASS OPTIONS: Base: Samurai > Trueblade /OR/ Weapons Master Parallel Seal: Priestess > War Priestess /OR/ Exorcist Mage Marriage Seal: Jakob- Rod Knight > Maid /OR/ Strategist Kaze/Saizou- Ninja > Elite Ninja /OR/ Puppeteer Tsubaki/Ryouma- Pegasus Warrior > Falcon Warrior /OR/ Golden Kite Warrior Silas- Cavalier > Paladin /OR/ Great Knight Asama- Herb Merchant > Great Merchant /OR/ Puppeteer Tsukuyomi/Nishiki- Spellcaster > Exorcist Mage /OR/ Basara Hinata- Oni > Blacksmith /OR/ Shura Takumi- Bowman > Holy Bowman /OR/ Golden Kite Warrior *Touma Route ONLY* Lazward- Mercenary > Brave Hero /OR/ Bow Knight Flannel- Fighter > Berserker /OR/ Brave Hero Buddy Seal: Felicia- Rod Knight > Maid /OR/ Strategist Sakura- Pegasus Warrior > Falcon Warrior /OR/ Golden Kite Warrior Setsuna- Bowman > Holy Bowman /OR/ Golden Kite Warrior *Touma Route ONLY* Effie- Knight > General /OR/ Great Knight Skill Lists for these classes: http://serenesforest.net/fire-emblem-fates/hoshidan-classes/class-skills/ http://serenesforest.net/fire-emblem-fates/nohrian-classes/class-skills/ Personal Skill: Tomboy: When user triggers the battle and defeats an enemy, enemies adjacent to the user have their HP reduced by 20% BASE GROWTH RATES: HP- 25% Strength- 55% Magic- 10% Skill- 45% Speed- 55% Luck- 25% Defence- 20% Resistance- 30% BASE CAP MODIFIERS: Strength- 1 Magic- / Skill- 1 Speed- 2 Luck- -1 Defence- -3 Resistance- 1 *Support Options are all people he can Marriage or Buddy Seal with, feel free to post about any of his supports and discuss them.*

Ever since the DLC for Fire Emblem: IF / Fates came out, there have been things that were bothering me. I'd like to share them with you and am interested to hear your opinion on them as well! Everyone has different options, so feel free to agree or disagree with me on certain parts. I apologise if this post may be long, but I hope you'll bear with me. Anna the Outlaw Anna has always been a popular character in the Fire Emblem franchise. She's the face of many stores in previous Fire Emblem games, the gatekeeper in Awakening and the store attendant in Genei Ibun Roku #FE. Anna is a character that everyone who played Fire Emblem knows and she's a very popular character as well. In IF / Fates, Anna is now a paid DLC character. You can't get her through normal means, unless you pay for her. Just like the other units, she has supports, full skinship functionality and marriage options. Anna might be the gatekeeper for the Dragon's Gate, but that still is no excuse for making her paid DLC in my opinion. For such a popular, loved character, I think it's truly disrespectful to put her as paid DLC. Invisible Kingdom: Beginning & Conclusion Honestly, I don't really have any good word to say about this one. I did really enjoy it, but already having to pay for the Invisible Kingdom and then making you pay again for backstory? Luna, Odin & Lazward mention that they're actually Severa, Owain & Inigo in a conversation with Kamui, yet the game never references back to it unless you get the DLC. It's part of the story. The story that is already divided in 3 games making you have to buy all 3 paths to get a full story. Weapon DLC (Duelist Museum) Once you complete the game and buy every limited-stock item you can buy, the shops never restock. They'll only have the normal infinitely-stocked items that - although some are useful - aren't anything special. If you want the stronger, better and more unique weapons and want to forge those weapons (seeing as you need duplicates of the weapon you want to forge), you'll have to buy the weapon DLC. DLC Skills I'm fine with the DLC classes, as they don't have broken stats or anything. However, the skills can be a problem. Skills such as Aether, Rally Spectrum, Ignis, Shadowgift, Warp & Witch's Poison are all very effective and useful skills to have on your units, yet are all locked behind a paywall in a way (I know you can get Aether from Great Lord as well, yet you only get 1 Great Lord seal). Skills that other than Warp & Witch's Poison have been in Awakening before and have proven themselves very useful. If you're planning on playing Online Multiplayer, it's a safe bet you'll see lots of people using these skills (especially Warp & Rally Spectrum), seeing as they're extremely useful and Warp is completely broken in battle. They give you a high advantage in combat. Of course, I'm not saying it's not possible to beat people with these skills, but they do have an big advantage. Although there are still other questionable DLC items on my mind (and other stuff regarding the game), I don't want to make this post too long or a pain for people to read. Please don't get me wrong, I highly enjoy the game. I know DLC is optional, but these especially have been bugging me and would like to hear what you all think of the DLC released so far. Thank you all very much for your time reading this!

So I was checking up on the merchandise and I noticed this: http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B014WAN3WU/ref=s9_psimh_gw_p14_d2_i2?pf_rd_m=AN1VRQENFRJN5&pf_rd_s=desktop-1&pf_rd_r=0YZV5QNR0W1V431EVWEC&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=207655209&pf_rd_i=desktop A calendar for Fire Emblem Fates will be released in November/December (some retailers had different dates). So I was wondering....do you think the official art of the other characters done by Kozaki will be in in it? Just curious to hear your opinions!

Much to my surprise, there wasn't a topic that really discussed this aspect of the new class designs. As the title states, pick the classes you believe are well designed, even if they aren't necessarily your favorite class in the game. The designs are based off of the generic portraits rather than the playable characters. Without further ado, here are some of mine: Nohr: Outlaw Hero Adventurer Mercenary Garou Maid/Butler Hoshido: Elite Ninja Puppeteer Trueblade Holy Lancer Nine-Tailed Fox Other: Dread Fighter Ballistician Vanguard Witch

Good day everyone. With the last thread closed down all of the main characters have their names set in stone. Moving on to the more important matters, I'm ready to get the two stories started. As I have discussed in private with a few others (Taka-kun, Luankachu, and Emperor Hardin) the two storiesthat I plan on writing are forms of adaptations of Fates proper, but to make sure that there is absolutely no confusion as to what I mean when I say two stories, this is what I mean: the first story that I will start working on is an adaptation of both Birthright's and Conquest's plots combined, and the second story that I will start working on (either simultaneously alongside the first story or after the first story is finished) is an adaptation of the Invisible Demon Kingdom's plot. DLC episodes will be considered much later given that almost none of it has been released yet (aside of the third path of course). And just like with Reawakening there will be some changes here and there to the original stories as to not make them strictly novelizations. To even start writing of course, I need a thorough understanding of Fates's original plot (as well as supports) so that I can make changes or make the unchanged original parts of the story easier to understand. As such, I will need someone who is good with understanding Japanese and can translate Fates fairly well. I myself will look for anything of Fates that's subbed and make comparisons between each sub. This will make the releases of each chapter somewhat long. Since I'll be working on the first story first (natch), I'll inform you of one crucial detail that applies to both stories but has a little more relevance in the first one: there are two Avatars. The male twin Avatar is named Yamato Kamui who was primarily raised in Byakuya (a.k.a. Hoshido by Nohrians) , and the female twin Avatar is named Corrin Plantagenet who was primarily raised in Nohr (a.k.a. An'ya by people from Byakuya). They will both be based on their appearances in official artwork and have their own personalities that act as contrasts to each other. Since I know how the Prologue/Chapter 0 goes, it shouldn't be very difficult to write it.

With Anna becoming a playable character next week (September 24), I'm beginning to wonder if any more characters will be added to the roster, but it's been almost about 2 months since all three paths have been released and we haven't heard any news about the Spotpass feature. Now I know there is a Spotpass feature in the Extra's menu in the main menu based on this picture: (This was part of an English Patch translation) I did a recent post about possible Spotpass characters but since Anna is being released next week, I thought that they may be activating Spotpass during than, as maybe they would start the process of new character recruitment, and I KNOW they won't make us pay for them, being that while Anna was not included in the game itself, all of the others were. If anyone has any news about any upcoming Spotpass features, please let all of us know. Otherwise, please leave your thoughts down below and let us know what you think.

I was looking at the list for accessories in the Accessory Shop and I haven't found any ways to obtain for some certain ones: -Dark Crown -Hoshidan Mask -Love Bracelet -Emblem Shield -Love Swimsuit So, does anyone know how these accessories are obtained?

It's been bothering me. I love Fire Emblem and the new character customazation but in Fates can you change your class? Videos show people playing as the default lord but what if I want to be a Shinobi or a Swordmaster? Am I doomed to restrictions? I'll still get it either way. Anyway, I'd like to know. Thanks guys.

Hey Guys, I was just wondering if anyone has the sprite art for Hooded Hydra? I would really like it for MU's family tree. I can't find it anywhere at all (I checked the spriters resource as well and heaps of other places). Any help is appreciated, thanks. :)

I was reading a post by Captain Karnage about Anna possibly being a Spotpass character and how her data is already inside the game and as I was wondering if she was the only one being released (if they ever get to Spotpass, that is ), I began to wonder: Maybe with each version of the game, they'll be releasing a set number of specific Spotpass characters for each route like they did for Awakening For example: Birthright -Anna -Leo -Camilla -Mikoto (If they suddenly pull an Emmeryn that changes the epilogue of Birthright) -Lala (maybe?) Conquest -Anna -Sakura -Hinoka -Shenmei (Like Mikoto above but maybe being completely revived from the dead?) -Clear Invisible Kingdom -Anna -Mikoto -Shenmei -Sumeragi -Garon / Human Lilith (I'm willing that from Mikoto to Garon, they'll pull Yen'fay's and come from alternate Outrealms for some specific reason) I'm not saying I"m right. I'm just saying that it may be possible. I mean, the Spotpass characters from Awakening were all on the cartage and it's pretty much the same for the characters above too. (Expect for Lala who may be treated like Priam) Anyways, that's my theory. What do you guys think?

Just a quick question for those who have used the Lv15 Dark Blood skill. If the avatar/child character who has this skill equipped is partnered with someone with an skill like Astra or Lethality, do they have a chance of triggering it or is it only non-combat skills?

I don't know if this has been asked or answered already but I can't seem to find anything so if anyone could help, that would be much appreciated, but here is my question: Have ANY of the Critical Hit/Skill activation quotes been translated? I'm really interested to see them. (More specifically, do Odin, Lazward and Luna have the same critical hit/skill activation quotes from their real identities from Awakening or are they different or vaguely reference their awakening quotes? And do Gray, Matoi and Shara have the same critical hit/skill activation quotes as their previous selves from Awakening? Or are they new/vaguely reference their awakening quotes?) Thanks in advance to anyone who helps!

So, I know that the second seal doesn't reset the level anymore, and the eternal seal will raise your max level when used at level 20, but can it only be used once per character? When you use second seal, can you apply the Eternal seal again or do you now stay level 25, not 20? I am mostly worried about how I will be able to max out my character stats this time around in Fates, assuming I can at all without needing stat-boosting items.

So I'm currently playing the game on a 3DS with 9.0.0-20 firmware. I use it in a 9.4.0-21U EmuNand as a cia. The cia was built from the rom I dumped from my retail copy of the Special edition which I know supposedly gives you the 3rd path free, but it wasn't available on launch so it's not pre-downloaded. I'm curious as to how I can get access to the 3rd path and/or DLC? Thanks in advance!

I found a Gamefaqs forum post with these two links on it. By no means are these confirmed, I was just wondering what other people though about them? The first one has the avatar and Chrom having some kind of interaction, http://i.4cdn.org/vg/1435327558663.jpg The second one has a battlefield view with characters from both FE:Fates and FE: Awakening on it. http://i.4cdn.org/vg/1435328175687.jpg As I said, thoughts?

I did a Felicia VS Joker Poll here~ so I think it would be fair for some sister rivalry! (If there wasn't already enough...excuse me for a moment) VS
