Dark Paladin X Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 The release is much earlier than I expected, but I'm very looking forward to it :). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimue Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I'll be getting all three routes again. That's gonna be a lot of files to mess around with. I'm glad it's not releasing too close to Star Fox so I can save up for that, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NekoKnight Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Good fortune to you, Ameribros. I hope they make a lot of improvements for the localization. http://fireemblemfates.nintendo.com/ "If you walk the path of Conquest, you must fight to change your misguided kingdom from within." It's funny how even the official tagline is saying Nohr is wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny how even the official tagline is saying Nohr is wrong. Now that I look at it, the first blurb is actually pretty accurate, since [spoiler=] it also says that if you choose Birthright, you will be battling beside a family of strangers. Considering that they aren't related to you and you didn't grow up with them, this this pretty spot on :P Edited November 13, 2015 by Tsuky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they realized the original word is...less than accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time the Crestfallen Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Not that it stopped them from describing Fates as having a 'complex story' in the Nintendo Direct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryo Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I don't know I think "change" is still pretty misleading because that's not what the Nohr route focuses on at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The DanMan Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 lol @ "Epic Storyline" Really looking forward to how people receive this game. Not that it stopped them from describing Fates as having a 'complex story' in the Nintendo Direct That gave me more laughs than the Yokai Watch promotion.

NekoKnight Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Not that it stopped them from describing Fates as having a 'complex story' in the Nintendo Direct They meant complex in a meta way, like, months after the release of the game we're all still discussing the story, wondering how such a thing could have been approved by anyone.

Ryo Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Objectively, Fates does have a complex story. What it lacks is logic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time the Crestfallen Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Objectively, Fates does have a complex story. What it lacks is logic. True, but it's 'complex' in the same way that Jupiter Ascending is complex. The Honest Trailer for it actually made me think about Fates in that 'Oh God, how did any of this get approved' kind of way. Skip to 2:24 to see what I mean.

Ryo Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I don't claim that its complexity is well-handled, but there's a level of complexity regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really need a "Honest Game Trailer" for Fates. I'm sure it would play out exactly like this. They'd have a ball with the Invisible history expansion.

Rapier Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Is Fates' story bad because of the execute meddling that changed it, or is it bad because of the person who wrote the draft? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time the Crestfallen Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Is Fates' story bad because of the execute meddling that changed it, or is it bad because of the person who wrote the draft? The person who wrote the original draft of Fates (I keep forgetting their name, sorry) isn't even credited as a writer in the credits apparently, so it's pretty safe to claim executive meddling on this one. I can actually imagine that conversation down: Writer- Okay Sir, we finished the story draft and character concepts and we think the central theme should be about family Executive- Are those that characters siblings? Writer- Yep Executive- Okay, make them S-Rankable Writer- What?! But that would undermine the central concept of the whole story! And the little sisters are clearly pre-teens! Executive- Goddamnit man, waifus/husbandos are more important than good story telling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapier Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 (edited) I'd love to be in that conference and see the writer object by pulling a Sigurd and saying that waifus/husbandos and good story telling do not mix! That's a shame, then. Why do they even hire writers if they're only going to use 20% of their script? It had a lot of potential to be a decent story. Is it Awakening level bad or is it actually rather likable? Edited November 13, 2015 by Rapier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it Awakening level bad or is it actually rather likable? Awakening's is bad because of what it DOESN'T do, but what it does to is rather camp and loveable to many. Fates' is bad because of what it DOES do, and you can't really change or work around it. It's just not great. I've heard Birthright is better but Nohr is a stinker and IK is a mess, not to mention it just doesn't know what it wants to be anymore. I'm anticipating a late April release for EU best case scenario, like Awakening IIRC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Time the Crestfallen Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I think the problem is that they were trying to mix the older, more complex and morally grey story telling of older FE games with the newer, more animesque style of Awakening and it just didn't work. I think the game's story is a mess, but I don't hold it against IS because I think they were looking at Awakening (since it was so successful) and trying to figure out what it did differently from other FE games in order to replicate that success before trying to merge it with the story-telling of older games, but they had too many things going and it just fell apart.

Sentacotus Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Honestly $80 for everything you get is a steal. I got my special edition pre oredered can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 That collector's edition sounds nice, but I don't want Conquest, so... Well, I have to pass on it. I guess for me it's good that it doesn't come with a special New 3DS, because I'd hate missing out on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twice Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share Posted November 13, 2015 That collector's edition sounds nice, but I don't want Conquest, so... Well, I have to pass on it. I guess for me it's good that it doesn't come with a special New 3DS, because I'd hate missing out on that. (I feel the same, but just the exact opposite lol. Don't really want Hoshido at this time being.) The Special Edition is totally worth it honestly...But I don't have the money to blow on it, I've bought too much crap these pass few months and need to save up for Fates DLC! (plus pre-orders on Amazon.... are gone, rip.) I think I'll be happy with getting Nohr and downloading Revelation ^.^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nordopolica Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Posted this on the other thread but for Aussies out there, EB is listing the preorder for the Special Edition as well as both separate games. https://ebgames.com.au/3ds-208717-Fire-Emblem-Fates-Special-Edition-Placeholder-Price-Nintendo-3DS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
