  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZw9om_Ny5c  DoctorStrangelove posted:I hate serious posting in this thread but people are genuinely confused so it's like this: Fire Emblem that series that you piss and moan about whenever a character shows up in Smash or VGCW. The Fire Emblem series are turn-based tac-dick-all RPGs developed by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo. The series has three main hallmarks that work together to make it unique. The first is each unit is a completely distinct character. They have their own name, portrait, class sets, personality, stat growths and new to Fates they each get a unique skill. Second, all stat-gains on level-ups are determined by the RNG, so a unit can be real stronk on one playthrough and then suck rear end on another. The third hallmark is that characters perma-die if fall in battle and as such can't be deployed for the rest of the game. If this happens I highly recommend restarting the chapter as having a unit perma-die can gently caress you over long term. You can disable perma-death in Fates but (somewhat ironically) I would only do so if you're a veteran to the series, as doing so trivializes the difficulty. Fire Emblem: Fates is the 14th entry in this series. It differs from past games in that it's actually three games (as explained above). You take on the role of a kawaii-hime/whatever the male version of a hime is, use tac-dicks to lead your army of beautiful anime warriors to victory, and learn the importance of friendship in the process. Fates also lets you bang your step-siblings; a feature I'm told many people are looking forward to. So what are the differences between these campaigns exactly? Well it's like this:   Birthright  You side with the nation of Hoshido. They're a bunch of peace-loving hippies and otaku-weebs. This is the easiest of the campaigns and will allow you to replay maps for more experience points. As such, if you plan on playing all three (which you should) then Birthright is probably gonna be the one you want to start with; especially if you are new to the series. This is the campaign that lets you skinship with your real* little sister. Conquest  You side with the nation of Nohr. They're a bunch of dark and edgy Euro-trash scum. This is the harder campaign, you can't grind. I'm of the opinion that whether or not to grind is a choice that the players should make for themselves but most you poo poo-fuckers seem to be unable to resist the allure of big-numbers and then blame the game when it is too easy after you've spent 20 hours grinding. Revelation  You're all like: "ALL Y'ALL NIGGAZ SUCK DICK!" and do yo' own thang. That thang being a bunch of dumb anime bullshit. You need to already own one of the other two in order to buy this one, and it assumes you've already one campaign to completion already. Harder than Birthright but grinding is still allowed. As is skinship with your real* little sister. If you still don't know which one to buy don't worry, I made a helpful guide:  Links and poo poo: Fire Emblem Megathread - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3597224&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=1 FE: Awakening thread - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3528797 Thread for Tiki's Bizarre Adventure Part 4: Idol Tendency - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3780941 Serenes Forrest, a site with all the info about characters, skills, wepon and maps (just don't read their forums) - http://serenesforest.net/fire-emblem-fates/ That weird blog that compares Ike and Ashnard to Robert E.

You will be doing this often.New features, changes and other bullshit: -Weapon durability removed: Weapons no longer break after a certain number of uses. Instead most of them now have some sort of drawback to prevent you from always using the most OP ones -wepon triangle changed: Bows and magic are now part of the triangle. As are the new throwing-dagger wepon. -Pair-up reworked: Split into attack and support stances. Pair-up guys like in Awakening to get support stances; gaining stats boost and dual guard for the front unit. Putting two units not in support stance next to eachother can trigger attack stances, which is a much more consistent dual-attack mode. Enemies can also make use of pair-up now. -Amiibo support: Now you can finally justify to yourself how you paid a scalp $175 for your Lucina amiibo. Using the amiibo gets you that character as a unit. Each amiibo unit has their own unique class and skills, but you cannot bang them. The Marth, Ike, Frank and Lucina amiibos will all work. No word about the Roy amiibo but that's ok because gently caress Roy.  -Personal skills: Playable characters have special skills unique to them in addition to their class skills. Most are inferior to the class skills, but some really do wonders for a character's usability. -Memes: End here! -New classes: Ninjas, Blacksmiths, Kinshi Kights, Werewolves, and Fighters who are also girls. And plenty of new skills to go with them, some of which are actually interesting! -New special environmental ability bullshit thing that I don't give a gently caress what it's called: Use the royal characters to do poo poo like dry up lakes, destroy bridges, start sandstorms and other crap that fucks with the map. But be advised; enemy royals can use it against you.  -Gay-marrying Gay-Dio: M-preg not included. -My Castle: A super fleshed-out version of Awakening's barracks. You can build crap, have your dudes run stores, outfit your soldiers with kawaii accessories, Fulton extract enemies and force them to join Animés San Frontiéres, and get invaded by other Private Forces over streetpass. -Marriage/Buddy Seals: Change into the class of your waifu (who is poo poo). -DLC: Some get you new classes, one is the obligatory beach DLC. There's also a DLC that gets you Anna as a playable (and bangable) unit. I cannot currently comment on the quality of the DLC.  -Questionable localization decisions: "Malig Knight." -A bang-maid: You can make that hoor your wife. Rum Ham not included. -Skinship with your real* little sister:  FAQ I've never played a Fire Emblem game before, would I be able to play this one and still have fun? Yes. But if this is the case then be sure to start with Birthright, since it's the easier campaign. Also play on normal since hard mode is actually hard. What other FE games are good entry points into the series? 7, 8, 9, and 13. Stay away from the other ones until you've played one of those. What are the difficulties like? Normal is normal. Hard is pretty loving hard. Lunatic is very hard but not unfun bullshit like it has been in most previous FE games with a very hard difficulty Do I have to gently caress my step-siblings? No. Can I gently caress my cousin? cheetah7071 posted:First cousins banging isn't even particularly weird or bad, shut up about it already. quote:The real reason you shouldn't marry Aqua is because she's boring as all hell.  Is this game good? gently caress. Yes. Can I post spoilers in this thread? The character named "Iago" is a badguy. The main character's mom dies early on and this drives their motivation in the first act of the story. This is a Fire Emblem game, not The Usual Suspects, nothing you can spoil is going to be so big that it completely changes the experience of the game if you know it going in. Treat this as a spoiler thread from here on out ok? I thought skinship, with your real* little sister or otherwise, got removed, what happened? You can only skinship with the guy you've married in the NA release (effectively removing any mechanical benefit from it). This includes your real* little sister. I have incredibly strong feelings about localization/skinship/butt-babies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzpndHtdl9A Is this game like XCOM? This game is exactly like XCOM. What's your favorite anime? Generation Kill Any special bullshit I gotta do to recruit guys? For the most part no but there are a few edge cases, and those are mostly prepromotes. There are guys who will only join if you upgrade certain buildings in your castle. Ask in the thread if you want specifics. I got Kaze an S rank but I haven't gotten a new paralogue? This is a problem unique to Birthright. Make sure that Frank has an A rank with Kaze before you play Chapter 15. Who is the objective best waifu? Well my personal waifu is Rudy Reyes from Generation Kill, who is not in this game. I do not know who the best waifu in Fates is, but it sure as poo poo ain't your trash waifu. Where can I go to discuss that FExSMT game? You mean Tiki's Bizarre Adventure Part 4: Idol Tendency?  Can you make this one stupid, unneeded and unfunny change to the OP? I will make any change to the OP you want so long as the person who asks for it can beat me in a 1v1 deathmatch in John Romero's DAIKATANA. I extend this offer to everyone in the thread. You are NOT allowed to choose a champion to fight in your place. Hey how do I- If you have any further questions ask in the thread. If there's a question that people keep asking over and over again I'll add it here. *Not actually your real little sister. DoctorStrangelove fucked around with this message at 01:39 on Oct 27, 2016 |

Unlucky7 posted:When I heard about the route gimmick I thought immediately of Code Geass (the first season, anyway. Did not watch too much of R2, and from what I heard I didn't miss much). As such, I was not expecting too much. As long as the character writing is decent/fun (as it usually is with these games), I can deal with it. We had this conversation months ago. There is no table-loving in Fates.

Eaten by Tigers posted:So what does maxing out the heart gauge on the skinshippin mini games do anyways? In the NA release: dick. You can only skinship with the person you already have an S rank with. Instead people will randomly show up in your room, say a line and then you get the bonus that the Japanese version would have required you to play the skinship game to get.

Dual guard happens more consistently. And if you're in attack stance then dual attack is also more consistent. And enemies can use both pair up stances as well.

I feel like most of the reason man-Frank looks so lame is because the goofy I don't even know what to call it he's wearing looks less stupid on a woman. Like Awakening Frank was wearing a shirt, pants and a long-coat, it's harder to look that dumb when you're wearing something that's actually real clothing and not I don't even loving know what.

Endorph posted:yeah and even JP reviews complained about it a lot so odds are either the kids will actually be relevant again or they'll just be gone in the next game Yeah. People like it in Awakening so they felt the need to shoe-horn it into this game. But they forgot that people liked it in Awakening because it made sense (atleast by FE standards) in the greater scope of the game. It probably won't be brought back for FE15.
