Review Fire Emblem Fates (3DS)
Choose your destiny
Intelligent Systems got itself into a weird predicament after the stellar success of Fire Emblem Awakening a few years ago. Fire Emblem has long been known as one of Nintendo's most hardcore and unforgiving franchises – a turn-based RPG with plenty of variables to keep in mind on the battlefield, and where one wrong move might...

Hands On Seeking an Awakening in Fire Emblem Fates
Now with feet
Though it was unknown to gamers at the time, Fire Emblem: Awakening was something of a last ditch effort by the development team to make the tough SRPG series a sales success. Failure to do so would've resulted in the series suffering the perma-death that so many of its characters have experienced. Diamonds can only be created in high...
About The Game
Your battle. Your future. Your fate.
Two kingdoms are on the brink of war. Whose side will you choose? Torn between two families, you're an heir of Hoshido, raised by Nohrian royals. If you choose the path of Birthright, you'll battle the corrupted king of Nohr beside a family of strangers.
You may also choose the path of Conquest, where you must fight to change your misguided kingdom from within.
Command warriors with expert precision and forge deep relationships to master this turn-based strategy game. For the first time ever, your customized avatar is the main hero. An army of knights, mages, archers and more are at your command in the most tactical battles in series history. Each unit and weapon has strengths and weaknesses you must consider for every foe you face. Partner allies on the battlefield so they can support each other in combat. Building relationships is key—the closer your allies become, the better they'll fight together. Their future is at your command, but first you must make the most important decision in the history of Fire Emblem.
- For the first time in the Fire Emblem series, your customized avatar is the main character (Prince or Princess of Hoshido Kingdom)
- Epic storyline centered on your avatar, forced to choose between bloodline and family who raised you.
- New "My Castle" area to interact with your allies and build stronger relationships
- Have StreetPass encounters with other players to visit their My Castle
- Tap in corresponding Fire Emblem amiibo figures and Marth, Ike, Lucina, and Robin will appear in your game, ready for you to battle and recruit
Once you choose your path between Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright and Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest, you will enter a complete gameplay experience with different sets of characters to battle against and ally with. When you want to explore the other path (which is also a complete gameplay experience), you can purchase it at a discounted price in-game, adding an alternate take to the events that transpired between the kingdoms of Nohr and Hoshido.

Come to papa.
Get here sooner!
Burn in hell Fates.
@Soren Ouch, how harsh.
@TantXL I really hate this game. Does it show?
@Soren The game hasn't even been released yet, even if you're pretty sure you won't enjoy it seeing as it is looking quite alot like Awakening perhaps you should wait with the harsh criticism until the game is released.
@TantXL The game has already been out in Japan since summer, and most if not all information about it has been leaked, so I know enough about it to criticize it.
@Soren Oh yeah, I forget that it was already out in Japan. Well then, my apologizes.
It's fine. I may have been a bit harsh towards this game, but my opinion stands. Have a nice day.
@Soren You can't have an opinion on a game if you haven't played it. You can criticize the settings, the characters, the story, and the concept of features, but the game itself? "Don't knock it til you try it."
@ElkinFencer10 its his opinion lol
I thought Fire Emblem Awakening a great game. I didn't care about the lack of feet at all. I was addicted all the way to the end. I enjoyed giving Lon'Qu all the seals. I wanted him to be the ultimate Samurai. And he was! ... I did play on casual, I have to admit, but it was great fun. I also enjoyed the romance ......... however ........ I recently watched some gameplay on Fates and the music was simply fantastic. I'd buy it just for that. As long as the gameplay is half decent. But the gameplay is not going to be half decent ... It's going to be fantastic too! ( if Awakening is anything to go by ) ... I also enjoy the romance element. Creating a kick ass kid. I'd say more on this but that would give out a spoiler ... Plus I've still got a back log of games to play, including the new Bravely Second End Layer. It's a great time to be a 3DS gamer! ... Gaming is an indulgence worth pursuing. Tis the very height of humanity ... And it's legal!
It's not letting me pre-order! IT'S NOT LETTING ME PRE-ORDER!!!
WHERE'S THE BUTTON!?!?!
PANIC!!!
Ryoma: CORRIN PLEASE COME BACK! HAYATO MISSES YOU! SAKURA MISSES YOU! EVEN TAKUMI MISSES YOU! takumi partying in his house because corrin is gone
Limited edition has just arrived on my doorstep. See you all in a few months!!!!
This is such a good game. Hopefully a new one is released some time in the near future
My Favorite Fire Emblem game ever
