This story had so much potential. I don't blame the Manga writer because he wasn't the one who wrote the entire plot, just the outline, this goes to IS actually. If the game had more time in the oven in terms of thinking more on each scenario, whether it be expanding on plot points or removing the pointless ones, Fates I believe would've become one of the best entires in Fire Emblem's history.

[@dantelawrence4676]

True. I love Fates, it has my favourite gameplay in the series, especially in Conquest. But the story, man... it's so disappointing especially when you think about what could've been had IntSys actually taken it more seriously or had more time. Or better yet both. I mean, you can tell how much more it could've been because the story can actually make you feel things, such as with Elise and Xander's deaths in Birthright or Ryoma's death in Conquest, and the scene near the ending of Revelation with both kingdoms' royals together. I wish we could've had more of that; more emotion throughout the rest of the game, because they were absolutely capable of doing that.

[@XenithXenaku]

This is played a total of *2* times in _Conquest_ and _Birthright,_ and once in _Revelation:_ *_Conquest:_* Chapter 6 - Part 2: Embrace the Dark and Chapter 25: Ryoma. *_Birthright:_* Chapter 6 - Part 2: In the White Light and Chapter 26: Xander (it _really_ doesn't help in the latter's case due to Elise's death just before and the track "Lament" continues to play in the battle Preparations screen even after Elise's death... kinda like "Renewal" from _Fire Emblem Awakening)._ The only time it plays in *_Revelation_* is Chapter 6 - Part 2: Into the Ground.

Doesn't really feel fitting, cause sure these characters are fighting the re-animated corpses of their long dead parents but the dialouge (at least between Ryoma & Sumeragi) shows the royals fully understand these are a cruel puppets made to torment them, not the people they loved, & unlike Scarlet, these are old wounds, not a needle being stabbed through the fresh cut.

[@rentsukasa2860]

This song always hurts more the second time around. I played Birthright first and grew attached to everyone, Takumi in particular. And then I played Conquest. Let's just say that the final battle took me two hours to beat because I was crying so hard I couldn't see the screen. (Spoilers Ahead) The way he moved was devastating. None of the other Anankos vessels did, so I came to the conclusion that it was because of the way he died. That much blunt-force trauma will shatter most every bone in your body. And we know that Takumi's soul was still tethered to his body, so it's entirely possible that he could still feel pain. It's the type of fridge horror Nintendo just seems to love.

[@heigh924robloxian6]

[@id10terror15]

I don’t know why, but Ryoma’s death hit me hard. Xander/Elise was a sad, but a bit absurd, and Takumi in Conquest was just telling you to buy the other routes. Ryoma’s death just felt powerful like he maintained his honor while saving you the burden of killing him. I honestly thought Ryoma shouldn’t have gotten mad before the chapter. Then the 25 turn wait would make sense, and it would be a sadder fight because it truly is a fight from necessity. (Also you shouldn’t have been able to open the dueling chamber. )

[@Arkensius1157]

I love Fire Emblem, and I also appreciate Fates, especially the Revelation Route of the game, because none of Corrin's siblings die in the Main Story! In Revelation, all of the Nohrians and Hoshidans join Corrin's army.

I still have a complicated relationship with CQ. My distaste still runs deep and it only strengthens the more I find out what bothers me about it. I'm a very critical person, but that's simply my nature. I found aspects that I quite like about Fates despite this, but after all the negative feelings that arise from playing it and thoughts that continue to haunt me... I simply can't call it good in any capacity. It's special in that it was my first FE. First game to turn me off from the series for three years until I gave it another shot, it's loved by plenty of people and it's not easy for me to get the same enjoyment as those who love it drastically more than I. My love for older FE is practically a shot taken at CQ for what it took away from me. To not only have dropped the series again once I came back to it, but I feel I've grown distant with a few people I met when I was starting out as a fan of this series. Coinciden or not, it's hard to separate a game from my history with it and that's not exclusive to this game at all. There's a few games that certainly bother me, maybe to even greater lengths... Neither have the same weight as this one though. With all that in mind, this track in both title and how it sounds truly represents what Conquest is to me. A thorn in my side.

[@medoagamer9497]

Since the 3DS eshop is dead, online will be shut down soon, and citra is discontinued, I'll share my thoughts on this game here. This game... it wasn't perfect. Far from it, the story was... even as a self admitted apologist for this game was rather underwhelming, there was plenty of missed potential, it was very shady for Nintendo and IS to pull a Pokemon on this game, and we can talk all day about so many of the characters and maps... But you know what!?, despite all of that... fire emblem fates Birthright, Conquest, and yes, even Revelation will not only be among my favorite fe games of all time, but my favorite 3DS game of all time... I truly do love so much about this game, I love the gameplay, the presentation, the characters, the improvements to awakening, the music is the best in the series in my eyes, and so much more. Hell there were moments in the story and writing that I genuinely thought was really good, be it in the support conversations, any of the 3 main campaigns, or hell, even if it was something in my castle, the side chapters, or the DLCs, there were plenty of moments where I could say to myself, "wow... especially for fates, that was very well written". And even though I never really got to truly sink my teeth into it, I really enjoyed my castle and in hindsight, I argue fates handled hub areas better than three houses or engage in my opinion, it's a shame I never got to play any online matches though. I really do hope Fire emblem fates, alongside awakening, SOV, and several other amazing 3DS games see the light of day again.
