Fire Emblem Fates is split into three story paths. Birthright is one of the two base stories, the other being Conquest. The other story path can be bought digitally at a discount through the in-game store. The third story path is Revelation, a DLC that was released later. You need to be have completed Chapter 6 in either game to access the other stories and DLC. Birthright is the easier path as it has the ability to use scouting missions to grind experience and money and simpler mission objectives.

FE fans who hate fates are on crack
And here's my third ever Fire Emblem game, I don't have much good to say about it. I had no investment into the story, and I did not grind levels at all. Even though I could. As much as I wanna like some characters, I just really can't. Like Hinoka for example, staler than a year old bag of chips. Otherwise only enjoyed gameplay, even if it felt repetitive.
Birthright is like eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a rock in it. Normal, maybe a little boring, but also a little comforting. And then you get to the latter chapters of the story and ooh! there's that rock fuckin ruining the whole experience. It's unbelievably stupid and unnecessary.
Oh and the best character in the Fates trinity is Birthright exclusive. I've played through Birthright a couple of times out of spite because of this.

My first real Fire Emblem game, fun!
it was serviceable until I got to the final boss and missed two 90%s when he had 9 hp that made me have to restart the end game chapter and the chapter beforehand. Anyways Hinoka is hot
This game isn't as bad as I thought it was, heck I had more fun with this than Awakening. Yeah the story and characters still suck. Gameplay mechanics are honestly some of the most fun in the series however. Makes me excited to get to Conquest. Sadly this game is pretty mid.
