So Sup Forums, should i get this game or fates first? Is fates as bad as people make it out to be? I havent played a fire emblem game since 7

Just get Fates Conquest then Fates Birthright to baby yourself in to the changes that Awakening did.

They're all pretty fun games

It's perfectly enjoyable. Just don't go in expecting it to be especially difficult, and don't bother setting it to lunatic, because that just restricts options. And ignore Tharjafags.

Awakening and Fates are okay. I'd say they're on the weaker end as far as Fire Emblem games go.

The story in Fates is totally assfuck retarded though.

Tiki best waifu.

Get it, it's a good game. True, it's not the best game in the series, but that doesn't stop anyone from playing them all.

I am obligated to warn you that Fire Emblem Awakening is one of the worst srpgs ever made.

They're not bad at all, they're fine. You just get a lot of blowback because they're the most popular and successful in the series and as a result of their success Nintendo now considers Fire Emblem one of their major franchises as of the recent financial report.

I think Awakening might be one of the things in the summer sale.

I figure just get Fates since with one title you get a comparable amount to Awakening, and then you can buy the other routes at a discount($20 for each) so for $80 you get functionally three times the amount of content Awakening has, which already dwarfs other titles in the series.

Alright thanks famalams
I'll kerp that in mind

It's not so bad. I really liked Awakening. Yet to play Fates, though.

Was Sully good for anything?

She's a good cavalier with balanced stats. Too bad cavs have bad avoid.

If you're gonna end up wanting to play both Awakening and Fates(including every route); go Awakening>Fates Birthright>Fates Conquest>Fates Revelation.

She's the skill/speed cavalier to Stahl's str/def. But like most of the gen ones, she's mostly there to pump out a skill and some starting stat bonuses for her kid(s). She'll be okay going into endgame if she's gotten to 20 in a promoted class, but it's not a lot of effort to have more powerful units by then.

awakening was such garbage jesus christ

idk you might enjoy fates more since awakening was... not too great

Fuck off

If you insist on playing both, do Awakening first. Playing Fates then going back to Awakening is really strange after seeing all of Fates gameplay improvements
Too bad gameplay is the only thing Fates has going for it, and that's only on Conquest
