Out of curiosity, which path did you get? Or did you get all of them?
Gameplay-wise, it's more balanced and probably the most fun of the FE games in that regard. Conquest is challenging, and Birthright is more balanced than Awakening. Revelation is mostly annoying gimmicky garbage made to waste your time and nothing else; don't even bother if you don't have time to kill.
Story-wise, 2/3rds of it is garbage marred by bad plot devices and fake moral ambiguity. The other 1/3rd is Birthright, and it's only decent because it's essentially another standard FE plot, albeit with an Eastern flair and a few extra bells and whistles.
Character-wise, some are among the best characters FE has ever seen, while others are tropey garbage. Some characters who might seem vain at first, like Oboro or Charlotte, are surprisingly well thought out and empathetic, and experience more character growth than some of the main characters. And even the worst characters have good supports.
Overall, I think it's worth a shot. A lot of the most weebish elements that you're afraid of were taken out in the localization; all we have left is blowing on a spouse's face to cool them off after a warm bath and rubbing a spouse's face until they wake (which is odd, but considering the ways you could be woken up, it's the least harmful). As someone who is also irked by weeb elements, I understand your skepticism, but there is more to this game than anime trite.
Some like to be adventurous and go into games totally blind, but others feel more confident in knowing that the time they spend won't be time they wasted. And FE tends to be slow-paced compared to other games, so you might not know how good it is until you've spent several hours playing it.
I try to imagine if I only had a few hours to play each week. I would certainly be much more careful about what I picked up to play if that were the case. Especially if some of my options are RPGs of any kind.
To be honest I didn't ask, he just said he wasn't really interested and that he has it. He has the tits knight so I'm going to guess Conquest.
And yeah, it's honestly that. Don't mean to be rude, but I am kind of busy lately with college and I have a bunch of tedious classes with teachers with pointless lectures in the most important majors. I want to have fun in a game and if it's not worth then I should just let my dude keep it.
I guess what I'm looking for is hard gameplay but with characters and a story that can at least make it feel like it's worth it. Games like FE4 and FE10 had some really hard chapters, but even in the easier chapters characters like Sigurd and Haar are interesting and have alpha characteristics so watching them murder people is actually really cool to see. (Couldn't say the same with MU in FE13) Also if the story is that bad where it's like the average time I saw Fire Emblem talked about on Facebook where it was just about waifus then I want out because for me that's actually embarrassing for one of the most interesting strategy series I've ever had.
Also gameplay mechanic changes like Doubling and perma items for everyone bothered the crap out of me as money management is actually one of the more unmentioned entertaining parts of this series.

I know it sounds crazy, but yeah a friend of mine is letting me have Fates. But is it worth it? Awakening was a snore for me and honestly boring even with Lunatic once you went to chapter 6, and felt way too weebish and not like Fire Emblem.
This game seems like Awakening but kicked up a notch in-terms of appealing to more "mainline anime RPG lovers" which means I'll feel less at home than I did playing 4-12. Also being able to "rub your waifus" and all that stuff honestly makes me cringe.
Should I bother playing it? I'm rather busy so if I want to play a game I better like it. I don't mean to offend anybody, and if you like Fates and Awakening I'm glad you do! -
Playing Lunatic Mode and I'm on Chapter 17 atm, BUT since I only have Lon'qu+Quick (MU), Chrom+Olivia (Married), Henry+Frederick, and Libra+anybody as characters who can even stand to the difficulties, I'm thinking about getting Inigo because he's the only child that isn't behind. (I married Panne, and she's only level 11 and possibly RNG screwed, so no Morgan or Yarne for me probably) The chapter is pretty difficult but it seems worth it if I can get an extra much needed member. Is it worth it for me to get Inigo?
Here are Inigo's stats:
HP: 37
Magic: 6
Skill: 24
Speed: 23
Luck: 18 (22 with Luck +4)
Defense: 14
Resistance: 8
-
I probably don't love it to death, but I can easily say Radiant Dawn was one of my favorite games ever, and definitely my favorite Fire Emblem game. I really enjoyed the part system because it created completely different atmospheres for each part as well as allowing the majority of the characters/classes to be really useful while still being an overall hard game. I think the story, while not perfect, is certainly not as atrocious as some people point it out to be and I honestly felt like the story is pretty good. Oh, and the soundtrack is nothing short of amazing.
-
You could pair MU and Lissa until panne comes for some magic bonuses if you want(i think she gives +Magic in pairing up), just in case you feel like you want some magic.
Ah alright, thanks!
Anyways, dang I still have a lot to go lol. MUxPanne, ChromxOlivia, and FrederickxCordelia. I'm definitely gonna try to see if I can make Miriel viable so I can get Laurent cuz his chapter is also fairly easy. I'm aiming for the easier chapters as already said so I can get them asap and so they get levels more quickly.
-
I only said -Magic because presonally, the best MU is assassin and they dont use magic. Also -luck decreases some strength as well, so thats why i suggested +Speed - Magic
That may hurt his early game because no range but ah well. I shall take your word for it.
-
Stahl/Kellam/FrederickxCordelia, whichever's easiest.
Probably will be Frederick, since Stahl is really hard to use in Lunatic and Kellam falls off by like chapter 6, at least from personal experience.
If you want the best Morgan, go for Asset/Flaw be Speed/Magic
Then marry Lon'qu and Panne
Then marry Avatar and Yarne, and you will get the best assassin in the game.
EDIT: I just realized you chose male MU
Otherwise just do MU X Panne for a deadly Assassin Morgan and Yarne
In-game babyyyyy, I don't care about the +2 stats or whatever as they don't make a difference. As for MUxPanne yeah that seems good but -Magic as a flaw? I was thinking +Def -Luck or something as bulk helps a lot. If not, I need to start over anyways because I think I have screwed my chances of beating Chapter 3 the way I EXP distributed. Ah only 3 chapters lol.
-
Uhhh... well Chrom x Olivia's pretty obvious there, at least then.
Yeah, probably should've mentioned I'm most likely doing that pairing because I have a huge bias for that. I am having trouble with the rest though and that's mostly why I'm pausing my current playthrough.
Well, and because my Frederick isn't level 5 yet and I'm on chapter 3. -
Nothing special, just good pairings for in-game cuz I lost all my DLC atm and feel like doing a semi-casual FE Lunatic run. As in, I will be using Barracks and stuff and I will do things like dance Olivia to level 30 and things but yeah. I need good in-game pairings so I cannot only use the parents well but even some of the children. I would prefer using my male MU for somebody for a child who has an easy map so I can use the other child ASAP. I probably won't be using Sumia or Nowi much cuz I'm not a big fan of them so dw about giving pairs to them. I don't care about gender specific skills that I can inherit as this is in-game.
ChromxOlivia is basically gonna happen lol.
-
That would nullify the entire system and make this game an even bigger brokenfest than it already is. You're basically playing 1v1 with a ton of Dual Guard's.
-
MaMU (Hero)
Ricken!Laurent (Sage supporter)Olivia!Lucina (Great Lord)
Chrom (Great Knight)
Chrom!Inigo (Swordmaster)Lon'qu (Dread Fighter)
MU!Gerome (Wyvern Lord)
Lon'qu!Yarne (Berserker)
Henry!Owain (Sorcerer)
Would be King Marth but Cherche!Morgan (Dark Flier and Rally user)
-
Libra, easily. A sorcerer with (Wrath+)Vengeance+Vantage is just too good to pass up. Make Owain your Sorcerer and keep his book hand at bay!
-
Chrom!Inigo
Pros:Has Sol
Has Rightful King
Good base stats unless for some reason you never trained Chrom
Easier to train than most children
Armsthrift
Cons:
You probably won't be getting him until late gameHe still requires some special way to turn him into beast mode.
8.5/10+1 billion because he is a man of passion so8.5 billion/109.5/10.I guess if it's not Chrom fathered then 6.5/10 +1 bias makes it 7.5/10.
-
So...I'm guessing this should be updated....or are the owner(s) of this whole RTU still asleep?
-
avatar's kids perhaps. marry olivia and make inigo a hero and get a war cleric morgan.
You could also push Chrom and Olivia to a corner, have a seed of trust and then after the chapter they get two babies, although the two of them will have crap base stats but whatever, yay for stat boosting items.
INIGO MUST BE USED!!!!!!! -
Meh class changes and is has not much reward ingame wise since you can use a ton of units that can heal and attack or just plain do more damage.
3/10
BTW Inigo hasn't been rated yet right? I hope that I haven't missed him.
-
Olivia!Lucina
Pros: Infinite Silver Sword
Great skill set
Generally above average base stats
Great Lord
Cons: Has a rough start
Average defenses
Sword locked for most of ingame
7.5/10 +1 because she has a kickass Aether+Astra combo so total is 8.5/10
-
Pros:
Great marriage candidate for MUHas great strength
Can reclass to Griffon Rider and become an excellent support unit
Cons:
Don't expect her to be doubling too often
She's an average front unit
7.5/10 +1 because MU married her so 8.5/10
-
That's what I thought too when drafting Donnel for Tharja in that DLC draft I finished earlier. Turns out she needed spd more than anything because of screwage. But I agree, she could use Donnel's pair up bonuses more than anyone, though, ideally she shoudnt pair with Donnel and instead go for someone else ;/.
Also, tallied Libra unbiased and biased. So, Quick, you missed your chance to get your rating in because you were too slow. How ironic :P.
No I forgot to stack up on Chaos Emeralds today, I SHALL HAVE MY REVENGE.EDIT: Nvm, youre so quick you ninja'd me. Im tallying with your score now LOL
Oh wait, never mind looks like I didn't need them, but still, light speed would've been nice. -
Feel free to rate Libra. I havent tallied yet, after all
Thanks man!
Anyways, pros:
Great bases for a defensive unit like him
Decent C rank in both weapon categories
Can reclass to Sage
Cons: If you don't reclass him to Sage then he can greatly drop in power
Feels 70% support 30% on Hard mode
If this was Lunatic mode, near perfect score easily, but this is only Hard mode so I'll give him a 7.5/10+1 bias because he's one of the most likable characters in this game so the final score is 8.5/10.
-
Damn it I just missed Libra.
Anyways Tharja, she's a nosferatanker who joins early and is pretty good but her lack of skilll hurts later on since she can't really utilize Vengeance.
7.5/10 -1 because she's overrated and has a terrible personality so 6.5/10.
-
If I might note:
Her dirty tactic that everyone considered to be cowardly and cruel and stuff, was to throw oil down a canyon and setting it on fire.
So yeah, even everyones favorite Mary Sue doesn't exactly get congratulated for such brilliant strategies like Robin was. Except by Soren of course.
Soren: That was impressive. You killed thousands of beorc soldiers with your little ambush. Well done.
That almost seems blatantly sarcastic, but knowing Soren I'm probably wrong.
I suppose the whole positioning in Awakening between Radiant Dawn is a bit different though.
Micaiah's enemies weren't her enemies in the first place, they were fighting for seemingly no reason, other than to "kill the laguz" (according to the troops and Ike's army), while in Awakening the whole situation is basically "they bad, they die." So the situation in itself is a lot more reasonable for Micaiah to be hated but for MU to be praised. Unlike Radiant Dawn, the enemy army is kind of generic as well, which basically goes back to the whole "they bad, they die" thing since the commanders are supposed to act like baddies and thus not really care for the lives of the people. (Although that's proven wrong later I am assuming it's just to drive the plot)
-
Most of the children do tend to outclass their parents or first gen units in general. I still find great use for Lon'qu, Olivia, Libra, Chrom, and MU (Male or Female) so I would say still use them.
Promoting asap to get the skills seems the best, since you will only be a few levels behind to reclass and you'll not only be just as strong by a few levels but you'll have more skills as well.
-
so you're saying Avatar doesn't even need to reclass to Dark Mage/Sorceror to Nostank?
BALANCE
Balance doesn't exist in FE13 do not worry.
Berserk and Warp staves.
Berserk I would love, Warp staves seem like hit or miss though. It basically is the opposite of Rescue, but I feel like it has the potential to be more broken, since you don't even have to worry as much about position of the person using the staff, or perhaps I am wrong.
Is this game worth $0?
in Fire Emblem Fates

Ah okay, that's good! I know there's some controversy in that localization but I thought they canceled that remove out of backlash, if they removed that stuff then it's probably bearable, most likely going to try it out Friday for the hardest difficulty.
I have no problem with Japanese inspired stuff, actually, I'm very interested in Japanese history, I have problem with knights with massive tits everywhere with the most anime motives and basic appeal, honestly I think the whole S rank convos in Awakening for a lot of adults was very cringey in how it was executed. (It just felt off, it might have to do with the lack of subtlety but I'm not sure) I know Corrin isn't any Ike either.
