  1. I still don't understand why all three paths could not of been one game with the third path being unlocked if you beat the first two.

    Well we could get a special edition with all three in one package deal but my guess it partly has to do with the fact that these three paths are first of all full games in of themselves so I can imagine trying to squeeze them all into one catridge would be difficult. It also could be IS trying to milk the consumers for a bit of extra cash but I'm just guessing here.

  2. I like their cultural exchange in their 3rd route support where they pretty much are on their own at this point as they both told Hoshido and Nohr go somewhere and kinda trying to figure out what to do now.

    Agreed I really liked those supports alot as well.

  3. But Aqua is pretty snarky and has a spine made of steel I didn't expect that when I first played.

    I like that about her. At first I thought she would be a 100% sweetie pie with no teeth but Fates surpised me so Cute+Courage+Snark+Depth= I'm gonna S-rank that! :XD:

  4. No, Conquest already counts as that to me. No matter what Kamui used to justify their actions, they invade a peaceful country knowing full well that a literal inhuman, evil being who executes people or lets someone else do it left and right. Kamui also personally slaughters a lot of people and is indirectly responsible for many, many more deaths - and they do a lot of more stupid shit like pretending they're going to execute Hinoka for no reason.

    It could be argued that it's a stupid path rather than an evil one, but I honestly felt disgusted, not because I was being the bad guy, but because Kamui considered themselves - and was considered - a good person who was in the right.

    I always felt that Villains/Anti-Villain/Anti-Heroes who commit such acts under the belief they are right are much more engaging than those who do it just cause "Hey I am an evil twit!". I havent played this route yet so I didnt get the full experience you did but it sounds like it possibly borders on the trope of Stupid Evil instrad. I think IS was trying to go for a moral gray zone with Conquest but from the way it sounds that might have been a misfire on their part. But as I said I'll have to play it for myself.

    For the sake of the poll I'm going with NO. Besides the fact it goes against the point of Fates. I also prefer moral ambiguity in most narratives instead of just it being Black and White because the dynamics of the characters are little more complex than straight up Good vs. Evil like it was in Awakening.

  5. That just makes Soleil sound like a poorly written (or at the very least inconsistent) character more than anything else.

    That's because she is. :P

    That's the way I feel about romancing the Nohr siblings.

    "I know that we saw each other as siblings our whole lives, but now that I know we aren't related, I wanna tap 'dat ass!"

    - Said no real person ever

    The supports are not that well handled either. The Hoshido siblings especially because what should be a heavy scene feels hamfisted with the letter and all that jazz. Plenty of men and women outside of the siblings dont know what IS was thinking.

  6. I think they wanted to show off the feet, if you're asking for a technical explanation.

    For the story? I dunno, it's pretty comfortable without shoes, and it toughens your feet. And maybe his feet are like a hobbits, y'know, tough and resistant to terrain.

    Maybe that it could be it. Never tried it myself but for some people I guess it works. I thnk Kagerou has the same thing going on apparently from what someone said.

    oughtn't the design reflect the character's reasons, though?

    Probably not but I was curious if he/she or anything in the game addressed it.

  7. So why is that Kamui regardless of gender doesnt wear shoes? Like I can understand Aqua given her being a dancer and all(the bottoms of those feet must be quite tough for to fight on different terrain like that). However its baffling to me as to why our main character doesnt have any.

    Anyone find any sort of info that explains this odd detail?

  8. There's one text file for each support dialogue. For instance, Kamui and Silas's files are in files labeled 'Silas/M!Player' and 'Silas/F!Player'. Kamui and Aqua have one file for each route, so there's 'Aqua/M!Player White', 'Aqua/M!Player Black', and 'Aqua/M!Player Transparent', and similarly for F!Kamui. Each of those files contains different dialogue, corresponding to how they have different supports each route.

    There are also files labeled 'M!Kanna/Aqua Parent-Child' and 'M!Kanna/Shigure Siblings', but those don't contain any text. 'F!Kanna/Aqua Parent-Child' and 'F!Kanna/Shigure Siblings' on the other hand, do.

    In addition, it seems as if F!Kanna was supposed to have different dialogue with Aqua depending on the route, but that also seems to have been dummied out. There are files 'F!Kanna/Aqua White Parent-Child' and so on for each route that are all blank, and one file just labeled 'F!Kanna/Aqua Parent-Child' contains dialogue.

    Huh okay. No skin off my bones that they are not in the game but its an interesting detail. Sounds like they were not feeling confident enough to go the full monty so thus went with one choice per route thats at least my theory if this data is accurate. I expect that we could see a change in the next installment granted they dont get their legs bitten off for trying to step into the pond.

    Aqua is mine all mine mwahahahaha! *clears throat* Joking. :lol:

    Also "Transparent"? Is that the third route?

    can only find out from what I know it seems like third path is not all there its pretty clear that its done 80% but its missing some stuff when the third path comes out I'll have to play it and see if the people on 4/8chan are trolling or not.

    Agreed. I hope its just incomplete data.

  9. They're pushed pretty hard by the game. Kamui has 3 different support chains with Aqua depending on which route you take, and

    post-game there are special scenes with/about Aqua on the Hoshido and 3rd route. In the Hoshido route, it's very star-crossed lovers-esque, while the 3rd route, which has the happiest ending, has Kamui ruling with Aqua by his side.

    There's also dummied out data that implies that F!Kamui and Aqua were going to be able to S-rank. So, they're being pushed together quite a bit.

    Is that info about the dummied out data true? Seems weird to think they would cut out something like that. I doubt its even true myself considering they are just barely dipping their toes in with Same sex marriage with one option in each route.

    I heard this one anon on 8chan's /v/ tell me that they have a unique ending but I also heard from /feg/ on 4chan that it there is nothing unique so at this point we can only wait to find out.

    I am curious about what some people are saying about the endings for female characters.

    What I mean is that a if a Female Kamui marries a male character in the third route they will get a unique ending but if the oppposite happens where a Male Kamui marries a female character they will get the generic ending. Someone suggested this is IS further pushing Male Kamui x Aqua but something sounds screwy as hell.

  10. Male Kamui X Aqua in all three routes were damn good. It just shouts One True Pairing even if I'm only going to S-rank her in the third route.

    I also adored Kamui's support with Setsuna.

    The image of Setsuna hugging Male Kamui during the S-rank and falling into a trap together is just cute as hell.



    Some of the parent and child supports were good as well.

    There were some others but its alot to sort through..... :XD:

  11. The games really ship these two together quite often. Its taken up to a hundred in the third route as well where she even gets a new S-Rank support scene hell in all three games her supports with Kamui are unique unlke for other romantic interests for Male Kamu that play out the same way.

    I dont know if there is even a unique ending for the third route like some folks are saying because it might be just a rumor unless new info has confirmed its existence.
