Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright Reviews
Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright is an very good game that is held down by a mediocre story, a poorly implemented avatar, and uneven music. However, it is still an overall enjoyable experience, especially for fans of Strategy RPGs.
Birthright is at its best when it's expanding on the ideas presented in Fire Emblem Awakening, not simply rehashing them. The strategy segments are some of the strongest in the series thanks to some welcome mechanical changes and do an decent job of compensating for the game's weak plot.
Fire Emblem Fates is a masterpiece – regardless of if you choose Birthright or Conquest. In fact your choice should be clear: get both!
Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright is a great followup to the amazing Fire Emblem: Awakening. The story is solid, the tactical combat is great, if simplistic in this version, and the characters are wonderfully endearing. The game excels in providing options, letting players tailor how they want to experience this world. If you care more or equally about the romance and social aspects of Fire Emblem, this is the version you should be playing.
