YYOOUU AAREE THEEE OCCCEAAANN'SS GGRAAAYYWAAVEESS!
Such a... change after Fire Emblem Awakening. I remember dropping this after one of the characters died due to not having enough of a bond with him (if you're a fan, you know which one). The story wasn't the best and getting this arbitrary loss would cause me to replay this... mediocre story. Wasn't gonna happen.
I like it more than conquest. think that puts me in a slight minority
Dude the maps are so boring, the maps dude the maps
fates moment
It was fun, I think. I liked several of the gameplay choices though the story was kinda boring? Enough there to be entertaining.
why does this site hate birthright damn
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.
{Orobably the mose Mid eiditon but it still halds agood candle asainst Tsukihime Ryoja is my goat #soborken
It's very easy and sometimes boring, but i enjoyed it at least
ridiculous
Masterpiece. You guys are haters.
Fire emblem fates had had an interesting approach to its story and marketing: the story puts your avatar in the literal middle of a war, as you gotta decide if you wanted to ally with your former family or the people that raised you.... and to sell that the different campaigns got sold as different titles. COnsidering each camapgin felt like incomplete experiences on their own, this felt kinda scummy honestly... but at least the different campaigns tried to make something different from each other.
Of all of them, I feel Birthright accomplished its gimmicks..... the worst: it's a really easy game, designed for the new fans of the series or for people that want a "more relaxing experience"... the issue is that the developers made this experience even too relaxing... so relaxing that you will probably fall asleep while playing it.
The maps have extremely easy gimmicks, but they are also large and mostly slow to navigate around. THe possibility to grind are endless and turns your units into unbeatable beasts even on higher difficulties.... even if you stop grind the game doesn't pull a lot of challenges.
The more japanese inspired settings and units is unique for the series and lead to really cool classes and weapons, but also the game doesn't really use the whole setting the best it can (like, there are literal factions tlike the fire clan that is said to be a big ally, but you only see Rinkah as the one representative).
And the story is..... probably the most boring story ever made for a Fire Emblem game. All the characters are written pretty unidimentional, to the point where the whole conflict just feels like a sterotypical "good vs evil" story, where the only surprising things are weird design choices regarding some "twists the game puts on you wiht either zero buildup or no logic" (ex. what happens to Kaze if you don't speak to him enough times, or what Elise ends up in the story)
Overall probably the only reason I finished this one is because apparently I needed to buy it and finish it in order to get Revelation.... if it wasn't for that, I am sorry, I would have not kept up with Birthright... at least Conquest was a more enjoyable ride.
