    I cannot in good conscience say anything good about this game or the other 2 routes because there is nothing good to say. It had terrible writing, characters only ranged from bland to terrible and were largely unlikable, the debuffs that replaced weapon durability were ridiculous, the shoehorned in waifu mechanic with it's ridiculously bad excuse for the children being playable only hurtI cannot in good conscience say anything good about this game or the other 2 routes because there is nothing good to say. It had terrible writing, characters only ranged from bland to terrible and were largely unlikable, the debuffs that replaced weapon durability were ridiculous, the shoehorned in waifu mechanic with it's ridiculously bad excuse for the children being playable only hurt the game even more, the fanservice was really cranked up (Bath houses? Seriously?). The main character was a self-insert mary sue who in Conquest, was treated like a doormat to justify anything that happened. Most importantly, Fates failed to capture anything that made FE, FE. I am a long time FE fan and I can honestly say that this is NOT Fire Emblem. None of this is what Fire Emblem is about. It didn't even feel like an actual FE game. It felt like a grossly anime knockoff trying and failing to be it. So anyone thinking about getting this game, it's truly not even worth looking at… 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.
