Posting in a waifu thread.
Not really, let's keep that in RT. This is more to discuss the game, hype each other up, etc. Like in the FFEX thread.

Thank you for making this thread :D Mine just shipped from amazon this morning. I also got Birthright.

I have a super hard feeling that I'll end up getting conquest later down the line.

If you buy one version you get the second one for $20 if no one knew.

Birthright is the easier of the 2 with more chances to grind etc. Conquest was made for older fans who hated the casualization Awakening brought.

Nohr rules, Hoshido drools.

Awakening was my first fire emblem and I really enjoyed the hell out of it. I was pretty terrible at it though. If i didn't play casual the permadeath would have been unreal loool.

Birthright will have to do while I continue easing into the series.

The $20.00 info thing is good though, I wasn't aware. I kinda want the pretty box though X_X;

Permadeath isn't that bad :P I've played most of the english ones and never had anyone die.

Path of Radiance on gamecube is really good too. If someone wants anything to play before Fates is released.

If this was a game series I mastered like Final Fantasy tactics I wouldn't be afraid to try hardcore, but I got side wrecked by so many mechanics I wasn't aware of in awakening.

Sadly I have almost all current smash bro Amiibo and had no idea who any of the Fire Emblem characters were until after I played awakening a month or so back. I know who Robin and Lucina are now lol.

I wish I would have known about this series sooner.

So so good.

I like some of the stuff in Conquest but a certain character either only appears in Birthright or appears in Birthright faster...or something.

I think there are characters, classes, mounts, and weapons that are exclusive to each game. I think it's minor though. Just little side stuff.

I ended up ordering both games....
Makes me wonder if you have to play both to get the Revelations to appear as the ending you know? Just making me think!

Well, from what I read, you need to beat both, then purchase the 3rd for $20, then replay through until you get the option to pick the 3rd one. But who knows if they changed it for our version seeing as they censored a bunch of stuff and removed the head patting :/

A note on the 20$ digital code if you buy both, you need the physical copy of one in the system to play the digital one, Ie if you have Physical Birthright and digital Conquest you will need the Birthright inserted in order to play the other, this DOES NOT effect versions normally purchased through the Eshop only the deals through places like GameStop, Best Buy , Amazon ECT. Reason I sprang for both physical versions

I've done a bit of reading and narrowed it down to two reasons I bought Birthright over Conquest. Honestly, a big part was because the character I want to pair my character to is in Birthright. There are other acceptable partners but then there was my other reason. The Avatar in Conquest seems to look the same as s/he does in Birthright until a class change. I like to kinda immerse myself in the story of a game and I'd find it odd that the Nohr raised me in my Hoshidoan garb rather than give me a darker Nohr garb so, I figured I might as well fit in.

one of Corrin's male voices is Yuri Lowenthal. Is there a game he isn't in nowadays?
Female is Marcella Lentz-Pope (Moira in RE Revelations 2)

text message received said arriving today.

stop playing with me Amazon!


also, seems more people have gone with Birthright over Conquest.
(for those only getting one)

is there a perk bonus for getting both? (aside from story changes)

From what i've read, there are no perks to getting both other than getting to play both storylines which each have their unique job classes.

I've also heard that the game really doesn't present much moral ambiguity in the choice between Nohr and Hoshido. Nohr is set up more as the "bad guys" in a sense, while Hoshido is pretty much lacking any kind of "wrong-doing" that you could use as reasoning to choose Nohr over them. Kinda disappointed in this.
