Vargras Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Nintendo reported in not long ago that Fire Emblem Fates has sold far more in its opening weekend than Awakening ever did, by a factor of 5. More than 300,000 copies were sold in the first three days, across all three versions (Birthright, Conquest, and the Collector's Edition). Of the three versions, Birthright was the top seller. Given that the franchise used to be on the ropes, and Awakening was due to be the last one, it's good to see it make a comeback like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YasaiTsume Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 (edited) Let's be real. Fates has some very good plot. Spoiler Easiest the biggest set of breasts in the entire series of Fire Emblem belong to Camilla. Not even Aversa could compare.

Fun fact: Kagero was originally designed to be Camilla's Hoshido counterpart. You can kinda tell why once you see her in-game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hortonman Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 They probably would have sold a lot more if they could produce proper amounts of stock for once. *special edition salt intensifies* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Kyubey- Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Isn't this the game that censored head patting? Not cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doom_Bunny Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) I'm cautious about the game. People are talking a lot about the whole relationship system, and I just don't care. Enough talk and making babies, bring me the battlefield. Edited February 26, 2016 by Postal_pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've heard, Conquest is designed like old-school fire emblem with brutal difficulty and less focus on relationships, whereas Birthright is more about, as you put it, "talk and making babies". You'd probably enjoy Conquest just fine if you're a fan of older FE games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was practically half of the game in awakening; pair two people, have baby, child gets teleported through time, now you have an epic general. I didn't realize that the two were that different. I thought it was just the faction that changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize that the two were that different. I thought it was just the faction that changed. The child units are still fairly strong, though this time around, they tend to end up with about the same stats as their parents by the time you recruit them. Pairing up units is also different this time around -- in Awakening, units that were paired up could both fight and defend. In Fates, paired up units can only defend one another (and may only do so once a guard bar is filled). If you want dual attacks, you instead need two units in adjacent spaces. It's not nearly as broken as it was in Awakening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only beef is that some games have their main character's names changed due to a certain company that specializes in messing up localization. For example, I cringe whenever I see english ports of Yugioh games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eftycchia Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 The only reason i'm not buying it is because Velour's name was changed to Velouria. And you all know DAMN WELL WHO THE IA STANDS FOR IN VELOURIA'S NAME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
