How to (not) beat Fire Emblem Fates Revelation in the worst way possible

[@GPhipps]

Revelation, the route where Lilith and the awakening trio reveal nothing

[@samkeiser9776]

I think it’s worse in Birthright, where all three of the awakening characters will actively fight Corrin and try to kill them, and Laslow can even die fighting Corrin’s Army, in spite of the one thing they’re supposed to be doing in Fateslandia being helping Corrin.

So when Flora in Birthright tries to kill herself - everyone besides Felicia is sitting like muppets and does nothing. When Hinata, Oboro, Saizo, Kagero, Effie, Arthur, Peri or Laslow are greviously wounded in C/B - nobody cares and they're forgotten about. When Elise gets sliced like a bread - who cares, she's not playable. When Xander is bleeding after a battle - it's fine, let him die. When Scarlet gets hit by one fireball and might still be alive - nobody even tries to save her. When Arete, Mikoto and Sumeragi are wounded from battle - nobody bothers healing them. When Ryoma impales himself and and seemingly dies - let him, Conquest is supposed to be difficult. ... When Gunter impales himself and seemingly dies - everyone goes apeshit and does everything in their power to save him and it works. Man, i love Fates narrative.

[@yuumijungle548]

you can hate on fates all you want, that soundtrack slaps xD

[@orangeslash1667]

the Reason for fate's sloppy story, is because the writers where trying to achieve too much with not enough time. Intelligents Systems had an idea for Fate to have three stories to appeal to everyone, but they realized that they didn't have enough writers. So they hired an outside writer, Shin Kibayashi was that writer. Intelligent Systems wanted Shin to write the outline for each pathway, what happened instead is that Shin wrote 500 pages for each pathway. Nintendo knew this was too long so they cut the story into pieces without the writers permission and the fact the Nintendo demanded Fates come on the Fire Emblem Anniversary only made things worse. Which resulted in this hilariously mess of a story. The good news this that there is a manga based on Fates that is a little better. Its called Fire Emblem If: the Crown of Niberlung.

"Corrin is a centrist, which is worse than siding with their enemies" As a IRL centrist, it's true. Some people get more offended at the notion of trying to understand both sides than just picking one and pitching tent. I think it is because these people suffer from us vs them mentality so bad that it upsets them when you're not with them, and legitimately confuses them that you're not against them either. It almost makes them act introspective for once, and that is no good, lol.
