Phoenix Wright Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) birthright had a much better plot than awakening. it's at about the quality you'd expect from an rpg in the mid 2000s. i haven't played more than ch7 from nohr but it's suiting up to be pretty dumb. there's more than 2 interesting characters compared to the previous release, so that's really good. design is good too. the biggest problem i have with fates thus far is the fundamental philosophy behind the games: lack of a single cohesive video game. the choice between families is as interesting as the choice between choosing pokémon red and blue, hell they even threw their own version of yellow into the mix. i would have much preferred a revelations style single cartridge game that details the complexities of nohr and hoshido's relationship. even when a completely new writer is brought in, we're given the same fire emblem clichés and archetypes. it's lame af. gameplay is pretty good though. stat inflation isn't too bad. but wtf is up with none of my characters having hp? no one approached 50 even at max level. azura had 33 hp with the help of 2fucking seraph robes lol Edited March 2, 2016 by Phoenix Wright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really haven't seen such low hp growths since like FE2. Edited March 2, 2016 by Tryhard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterIceTeaPeach Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Seriously I don't give a shit for the story. A good strategical gameplay is the most important thing I expect from a FE good game. A FE game with a bad story can still become decently for me, if the game mechanics are alright. (variety of mission objectives, good map design, variety of weapons and staves) Same goes for FE13... but unfortunately this game had neither good plot nor good gameplay.

Tryhard Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 uninspired trite could still be considered better than the rest of fire emblem at some point I realise that comparing the badness of each is pointless and I expect nothing from them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solrocknroll Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 idk I really enjoyed Birthright's plot It was sweet and simple As for Awakening's plot, I liked chapters 1-11 but the Valm arc is where I always stop when I'm replaying the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aestury Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 People play Fire Emblem for plot? I thought it broke up into people who play for gameplay and people who play for shipping and characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
