    The gameplay itself is great... but the game suffers from the "localization" that Nintendo of America put it through. Removed (optional) content, censorship, changing of characters to turn them into jokes, insertion of memes just for self-fellation. It's really annoying at this point that nearly every game Nintendo of America localizes gets censored, even if the target audience are matureThe gameplay itself is great... but the game suffers from the "localization" that Nintendo of America put it through. Removed (optional) content, censorship, changing of characters to turn them into jokes, insertion of memes just for self-fellation. It's really annoying at this point that nearly every game Nintendo of America localizes gets censored, even if the target audience are mature (such as Fatal Frame) or mid-late teens (Xenoblade Chronicles X & Fire Emblem Fates). The type of localization shows that they think their audience is stupid. Expand

    If you’re aiming for a steeply difficult strategy game that really makes you think ahead, Conquest is the way to go. I’d still recommend playing the Birthright path first, to be honest – the difficulty curve between the two works well, and Nohr’s story works well as an extension of your experience in Hoshido.

    A tough tactical adventure. [Issue#175, p.78]

    If you have a 3DS, Fire Emblem Fates is a must-buy; if you don’t, it’s yet another reason, on top of so many others, to get one. Just be sure you do your research, and stick to Birthright unless you’re absolutely ready for the challenge Conquest has to offer.
