Gameplayįire Emblem Fates features the same addictive Strategy RPG gameplay that made previous games so beloved. While I personally don't think Fire Emblem attack animations will ever again be the spectacle you got from the GBA titles' sprite work, this still serves their purpose, complete with satisfying sound effects. If you're keen to do so, you can save time by turning off attack animations. Like with Awakening, the map themes become more dynamic once you engage in battle.
#SECOND SEAL FIRE EMBLEM FATES SERIES#
Per series tradition, Fates has some amazing music. While I otherwise barely notice a difference, this was a major point of contention among parts of the fanbase. You could call the 3D models new and improved since they added feet to the models in lieu of the stumps the Awakening characters walked on. Running on the same engine as Awakening, Fates features both the 3D models of Awakening's style as well as the 2D sprites from the older games. Despite that, it's certainly not a dealbreaker the way forums have widely exaggerated it to be. I found these parts of the story to be the most enjoyable in an otherwise relatively pedestrian JRPG storyline. You'll come to appreciate the interactions amongst one another and with the protagonist. Source: Author.ĭespite a few flubs in localization, engaging in support conversations will surely bring you closer to the characters in the game. Yes, I've been reminded enough times of this support conversation in the localization. Both are relatively meager attempts to create a storyline centered around trust among one another.ĭespite that, Fates continues the series tradition of wonderful character design and support conversations. Moreover, the "silent enemy of which I cannot speak" curse also keeps Corrin from mentioning the realm of Valla and is the reason why he cannot immediately recruit his siblings who accuse him of lying. Many of the issues regarding the story come from Corrin's attempt at non-violence and not killing enemies in battle an unrealistic perspective that diminishes the consequences of war. This canon route ends up unifying both sides against a threat greater than either the Birthright or Conquest DLC routes. In the Revelation route, he chooses to pick neither. Born in Hoshido and raised in Nohr, the character must pick which country's family he chooses to side with. With that said, I hope you will enjoy the review! Storyįates revolves around the protagonist, Corrin, and their ability to turn into a dragon. I do have a few mild things to address in my review that tend to stand out. Six years later, it's still a heavily addictive and highly enjoyable game that lasts as one of the best games on the 3DS and as a hallmark in the series. Even though I find that several games in the series have admittedly better plots overall, the complaints about Fates do not hold up. Most of it is directed at the writing of the overarching storyline or related to the localization of the script. Deciding that I wanted to make a new team and get all the child units for the first time, I started a new file on the Revelation DLC route and went from there.Īll things considered, the criticism of Fates hasn't aged well. Among the other titles, from Awakening to Echoes to Three Houses, I completed most or all of the DLC maps, but for some reason, I skipped over Fates. I was also motivated to play the DLC for Fates. That skepticism came mainly from Fates being the most controversial, but also the best-selling, title in the franchise over the six years since its release. Coming off of the last 5 years of Fire Emblem Heroes and my love of the most recent title in the series - Three Houses - I had to wonder how well Fates stacked up. When I started my replay of Fire Emblem Fates earlier this year, I went in with a few things in mind.
