Why would they? They didn't do any work to earn it. Again, the characters are all there in the code for all three games. The fact that switching them on changes the game doesn't mean that the developers did any extra work outside of the planned development cycle that I, as the end user, should have to pay for.

If "having this playable changes the game and the user should therefore pay extra" was sound logic, players should have to purchase every single playable character in a fighting game separately, which would be both tremendously greedy on the part of the developers and also really stupid.

Except they did do enough work to earn it. The first 6 chapters are the same. After that, the games vary a good amount. The battles are different. And they are different difficulty levels, as well. Conquest is purposely made to be harder. Its harder than both birthright and revelations, apparently Whether you believe it or not, they are different games that have a similar beginning. But the other parts of the story are different To say someone didnt earn the money when they put in the work is asinine And insulting Ans the developers did a lot more than switching the playable characters. The battles are literally different. And harder in one of the game. They are all different difficulties. Which meant making each battle other than the first few battles individually

And each game campaign is about 30 hours (according to the internet). And with the game having different win states for certain areas, and different difficulties for people joining Fire Emblem at different times, and a different story, since they change based on the family you side with (based on the game you choose), they are very much different games, which should earn more money. Just because you didnt like the differences doesnt mean they didnt earn it. And they didnt earn enough for your money, thats fine. But to say they didnt earn it because you didnt like the differences is insulting to the developers

As for fighting games, many people do end up buying the new fighters they add. And even then, thats very different. The fighting game is theThe sane game. Birthright and Conquest ARE DIFFERENT GAMES (whether you decide to acknowledge that truth or not) So, there is no reason they had to sale it as one game if they are two different 30 campaign games And thats not even mentioning that is you bought one of the games, you could digitally get the other for half price So, it was like buy 1, get 1 half off

How are they completely different games if the story is the same with minor differences because of the characters?

The story itself is different. In Birthright, you side with your birth family, and in conquest, you side with your adoptive family. And the story itself changes becuase you have not only different characters, but different battles, as well I know that for the first few chapters, it was about the same. Until you choose a side. Then things change between the two. And you get different information and stuff like that To say the only difference is the playable characters would be wrong. But it is a big change that does greatly affect how you play, since that is kind of a big part of the Fire Emblem games But other things change. Like is Birthright, its mostly route the enemy. And there are usually less around. And is generally easier. Conquest starts adding in things like defend for x turns, find x person, etc And apparently, revelations can get gimmicky Thats the one I know least about, though. I was suppose to have the cartilage with all three. But shit happens
