15:30 japanese interview said that the original script didn't actually have Hinoka. The 4th Hoshidan sibling was supposed to be Corrin themselves, and that they added Hinoka later to even out both sides and so there didn't seem like there was a disparity between the two versions..

A lot of Fire Emblem Fates writing was horribly localized by Nintendo Treehouse that they removed entire character arcs and elements to the story. They even removed over a dozen support dialogues, and heavily altered most of them to be different from their original complex selves, which fleshed out Norse and Hoshido and made things far less black and white. It is a shame that no one that cannot speak Japanese will be able to experience them. Although, I do hear there is a big mod for the original game that replaces a lot of the script with something more faithful.

Also i do hate how Corrin being a dragon is just ignored throughout the entire game, it sucks even more because Corrin is the only FE protag who can turn into a dragon, then again maybe it's that way because the dragonstone is so mid.

It’s thanks to them that I play new instalments and revisit older games (ones that I can realistically purchase).

The conquest route is genuinely one of my favorite games and my favorite fire emblem game. It's challenging, it allows you to be creative with your strategies. I still need to beat it on Lunatic though. I've played every fire emblem game aside from gaiden and FE3, though I did play their remakes, Genealogy, and Thracia. I plan on playing the later two soon, but in the meantime, Conquest is my favorite.

Yeah that was something I wanted to talk about but just couldnt find a place to put in the script, when I 100% should have. I feel like the whole point of Revelations is having all these characters but really most playthroughs just end up having Corrin, Azura, Ryoma, Takumi, Sakura, Hinoka, Elise, Camilla, Xander, Leo, and then like 1-2 other randos. I actually really enjoyed playing Revelation blind and on Hard Classic for the first time because it allowed me to play around with all these units with not too too much of a worry of them dying. Though it still hurt to lose Kajiro and Mozu

Funny thing is I chose Conquest, and that was my first Fire Emblem game. Bought the other two games when Nintendo announced they were going to closed the e-shop. After buying and playing they I still prefer Conquest.

one issue i had with the story specifically, was one of the biggest twists in the game wasnt in the main story, but in a dlc side story. SPOILERS for anyone who hasnt played the game, but the main bad guy of the dlc and the main story proper... is your father. and because its in a dlc side thing through the eyes of someone else, the main character never finds this out. what the actual fuck.

I have a deep love for this cringy game. I was there with its released and was gifted the deluxe edition from my family. I played it to death and still sometimes do. The biggest flaw in this game was its writing. All the groundwork was there for a classic, if the writing did not suck. Like the music, setting, story concept, character designs (I mean look at Azura, she is super pretty) and most importantly gameplay was great. This game has steller gameplay, with player expression, complexity and rng balanced really well. But the story writing was absolutely poor and sadly that quite literally made the game infamous. But still say what you will about IS the developers, they know how to evovle and itterate on their games. They went from going from their last game in the series to this, and this arguably is what cemented FE's survival.
