YYOOUU AAREE THEEE OCCCEAAANN'SS GGRAAAYYWAAVEESS!

The gameplay is pretty good. There are good designs in this and I did like some of the characters. But the story completely passed through me leaving nothing behind. I don't even feel strongly enough to even say it's bad, I just feel nothing towards it.

Amazing characters

Maybe this whole fantasy tactical role-playing genre is onto something

It's alright. Nothing particularly memorable about this one. I enjoyed the reclassing system and abused it to hell to create genetically modified child super soldiers. Ryoma could have solo'd the entirety of nohr if he wasn't fucking around with scarlet. The story is still ass in this version of fates 💔

slightly better plot than conquest, but less fun maps and characters

The most mediocre of the Fates games. The gameplay is fine, nothing special either way, and the story is the least offensive of the three. As with each route, there's some really great characters buried in here but overall probably the most forgettable Fates entry.

Decent fire emblem, otherwise bogged down by baby system

Birthright is a lot like Awakening. If it wasn't tied to Conquest people might like it just a little more. The writing is out there and gameplay isn't really that challenging when you have played any other game in the series. The game isn't bad though. Unit customization is fun. It's just alright, it makes you appreciate Conquest's later chapters more.

ryoma carried this one, I won't lie

conquest was fuckin crazy but I'll take crazy over something middling like birthright was

what a slog
