In previous games, weapons had limited usages with rare exceptions and would be permanently unusable once they ran out. One of the first major changes to the formula for Fates is the removal of weapon durability. If you played Fire Emblem: Awakening, Birthright will feel familiar, but there are also a lot of new changes.
There are options to turn this off, though. Losing any character causes them to be permanently removed from your party, and the game is balanced around this. By default, death in the game is permanent. Combat automatically plays out once players select Attack and their weapon of choice, though various stats and other elements can influence the combat. It's a turn-based, grid-based SRPG where players and enemies take turns moving their units and attacking one another. On the surface, the core Fire Emblem gameplay hasn't changed too much from previous entries. The story is a standard Fire Emblem plot with some twists, and it's buoyed by fun characters and charming writing. Once you get past the sixth chapter, the game slows down and characters and plot elements are introduced at a more subdued and natural pace. Your protagonist is kidnapped, part of an assassination attempt, transforms into a dragon, and finds a magic sword in such quick succession that it's kind of bewildering. The first six chapters are overly rushed and desperate to introduce everything you'll need to set up Birthright and Conquest. In Birthright, he chooses to return to the family of his birth and defeat the evil of the Nohr emperor.īirthright starts off weak but gets better as it progresses. Corrin is torn between loyalty to the family he grew up with or the family he was born into. Corrin learns that he's a member of the Hoshido royal family who was kidnapped by Nohr's emperor and kept as a hostage during a political dispute. After refusing the emperor's order to execute prisoners, Corrin is sent on a mission that leads to capture by Hoshido. Corrin, a Prince (or Princess) of Nohr, has lived a life of isolation. At first blush, Birthright might come across as the easy version of the two, but it's a well-designed franchise entry on its own.įire Emblem Fates follows the story of two warring nations, Hoshido and Nohr. Birthright is more akin to Fire Emblem: Awakening, with the ability to grind levels and maps focused around routing the enemy, while Conquest is a more linear experience like the old Fire Emblem titles.
Birthright and Conquest put you on different sides of the war and have different levels and gameplay mechanics. It's pretty understandable that they'd be confused for something akin to Pokemon X and Y, but they're actually two different games that share the same first six levels and the same basic characters.
Fire Emblem Fates is actually two games released at the same time: Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright and Fire Emblem Fate: Conquest.
