| Topic | It's been a few years. Is Fire Emblem Fates worth it? |
| andylt 02/04/21 8:07:14 AM #25: | Awakening was my first FE, and after enjoying it a lot I was pretty hyped for Fates. I chose Conquest for the difficulty and liking the idea of a darker story, and at first I liked it quite a bit, the gameplay was neat and I figured the plot would kick into gear at some point. But the writing just kept getting more and more stupid and I eventually tuned out. It doesn't commit to its darker premise at all. Character-wise there's just so many of them that most are left pretty shallow, you'd think the plot-related characters would have it best but in Conquest at least they just oscillate between being complete morons and merciless psychopaths. Combine that with everyone being obsessed with your bland empty avatar and it really is a massive disappointment. They throw in the relationships+kids stuff that Awakening had too but it's significantly worse and more nonsensical this time round. But the gameplay is fun, if a bit frustrating at some points. Echoes > Awakening > Conquest as far as I'm concerned. --- Slowly becoming a Final Fantasy aficionado. Just finished: FFVI! Congrats to azuarc, Guru Champion 2020! ... Copied to Clipboard! |
