Topic: Fire Emblem: Fates

@Dankykong: Camilla is a great character!

I should rephrase, she's a great character, there are a lot of annoying weird fans.

True lol.

What do you guys think about all the new skills? All the "Blow" skills, the Seal skills, etc.?

If you consider a ' great character' to be completely based on pandering to the Avatar.

Care to explain about these fans? Because there's nothing weird about them.

Just to make sure, fates comes out in europe at may 20th, right?

@VoltageX: Outside of sudden delays; yeah that's the release date.

Great, not too long to wait but long enough to finish playing my current games XD thanks!

Almost finished with the first campaign (Out of the 3).

The game is a lot better than awakening in a lot of ways, and apparently I havent even gotten to the really good stuff yet.

The reworking of the pair mechanic was much needed, the maps are fantastic- particularly in comparison to awakening, which was pretty weak in this regaurd, I am enjoying building my little city/camp.

The Story and characters are just plain cringe. Ugh. Oh well.

Whoever was behind the engine that lets them go from overhead map instantly to 3rd person battlefield view point, that accurately represents everything in that area on the map, gets a magical bag of high fives. Everytime they open it a hand flies out and gives them a high five. Absolutely brilliant.

@KO-Cub:
Hinoka and Camilla are the worst when it comes to the obsession of Corrin.

Anyone got a hold of the official release of the soundtrack?

Been listening it for the past few days and I feel that is better than awakening's OST (I have the official OST of it too)

I had the chance to listen to some of the songs carefully and they are great. I don't know how I missed 'Alight' when I played Birthright. That song is awesome.

Also gave 'A Dark Fall' another chance since I at first was annoyed by it (Perhaps it was because of those maps at endgame...) and I can see how atmospheric it is regarding on the point you are in the game.

Oh, and its nice to see they even included the 83 slowed down variations of the songs you can put in My Castle. Some of the music sound substantially different being slowed down, so it's a nice alternate track of the original.

I managed to secure a pre-order of the Special Edition. Take that, scalpers!

Hello guys!
Since the european release date is near and i lost the chance of pre-ordering the special edition i would like to ask something.
If i buy one of them (i prefer Birthright) i have read that i can download the other version digitally in half price.Is that correct;;
The version i will download is The full game;;or it starts after a game point;;What i mean is i will be able to play it for the beginning without having the other vrsion on 3DS;

Sorry if my english is terrible!!

@crok21: Yes, the second game will be half off. You will have the full game. If you download Fates, you choose your side in chapter 6, then you are locked out of the other game until you pay for it.

@BlastRadius: @Dankykong: Just between us, I love Camilla so damn much. She's one of the reasons why I picked Conquest first and Birthright second.

Thank you!

I overall, consider Fates to be better than Awakening, but, after over 130 collective hours of playtime( Birthright and Conquest), I do have one grudge.

Anyone notice how to "Hit/Avoid" system in this game seems to be a bit askew this time around? I'll routinely miss attacks that say there's a 80 percent of a hit, and I'll get hit with alarming regularity by attacks that have a 30 or below possibility of a hit.

At first, I dismissed it as a glitch, but over 4 save profiles and over 130 hours, it still persists. I simply don't remember this happening in Awakening nearly as often.

Anyone have this problem, too?

Rhajat: A taste of Nohr for those who chose Birthright. XD

@BlastRadius: I think someone mentioned that this game only rolls 1 time for the players, whereas in past games it was 2. Dunno if it's true or not, but yes, I hate that.

I keep getting hit by attacks that have a 13% or lower chance to hit. It has happened on many occasion, whereas in Awakening, Inever got hit by an attack that was 35% or lower in my all time playing it.

@Gridatttack

So I'm not the only one!!

It's infuriating because it messes up even the most basic strategy.

I expected my Swordmasters( very high Avo ) to be able to dodge two archers in this one map, so I attacked a Hero and a Beserker instead of them, and both archers killed my swordmasters. Under 35 percent chance of that happening.

What do you mean the game "rolls"? I've never heard that word used when talking about this before, what does it mean?
