Based on the things I've heard, the plot is apparently really bad, which is a bummer because I was actually looking forward to playing this game. Would any of you actually recommend it?

The story is worse than you can imagine, but Conquest is excellent as a TRPG. I enjoyed it thoroughly, but it sounds like it's not for you.

Shit story, main character is pretty much unbearable as a lead role, even worse than Chrom, everyone else is one note as fuck.
The whole game left a bad taste in my mouth, the gameplay itself is okay but I couldn't get over how universally bad the writing was. The "true end" is also DLC.
Pretty sure the only people who could stand it were the ones who are just in it for the waifus if that says anything.
Get it if you want but I'm about to return my copy.

>good plot
>any FE game

PoR was the best plot in the whole series, but even then it was totally mediocre and the one thing that made it even that good was Ike.

That being said, Conquest is easily the second best gameplay in the entire series and is one of the best in the whole genre, and it also has the best waifu in the series in pic related.

The other two games are eh or worse. Birthright is like if Awakening was better, but Revelations not only has the worst plot of the three, but also has terrible unit balancing (you get so many fucking units, but only like 9 of them are actually usable).

I recommend Conquest for the gameplay. I fucking love it. Skip out on the rest of them unless you somehow get invested into the story or the characters. Pirate the Japanese game that's modded with the NoA text if you have a hacked 3DS--best way to play, imo.
>>
>>332243945

I don't have Birthright yet, but Conquest is really challenging (mostly in a good way). The story is incredibly bad, way worse than Awakening.

It's not stellar but the cast in FE7 carried it pretty well for me, and it was hardly as offensively bad as Fates

also the worldbuilding was waaaaaaaaay better than Fates (the world map parts before chapters help a lot with that)

>>332243945
Do not fall for the 'fates is good' meme.
Gameplay is worse than most previous games, story is fucking horrendous, characters are all bland, generic anime stereotypes, tons of DLC cancer, and it's not a challenging game at all. Emulate Tactics Ogre:LUCT on the PSP if you want a good SRPG/TRPG.
>>

Yeah, I'll agree with you on that.

FE7 was really bland, but not outright terrible like Fates was. I think that's a key difference between Fates and every other game, bar Awakening.

Earthbound on the VC if you haven't played it yet.

This is so retarded. Birthright has a terrible boring story. You don't even get most of the "story". Conquest goes way more into the lore. Yeah, some of the plot elements in Conquest are dumb, but the overall story flows way better. Hoshido is just as much of one long dumb hike to the enemy throne room, except more boring.

Kid Icarus Uprising
Monster Hunter
OoT and MM if you somehow haven't played those yet
Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon. Probably my favorite game on the 3DS, though the pacing of the story is pretty bad at some points (which is too bad, because it's a great story). Almost as good as Sky.
Rune Factory 4
Animal Crossing: New Leaf but the community is kind of dying
The new Kirby game is probably going to be great, because there's no such thing as a bad Kirby game
Classic VC games you haven't played yet

>>332247754

I disliked how forgettable the story was and how bad the characters were. Everyone felt like they were there to fill a quota or something. Disgaea has a similar issue but at least those characters change through the story.

I was also very neutral about the support/marriage/children thing, is that a major part of Fates? Most every thread talks about who they married.
Awakening's gameplay was okay though, the team up system felt busted however.

That's because waifu/husbando posting is easy shitposting.

It's not a major thing, but if you want all of the units available to you on any given run, you'll need to pair people up.

The way they shoehorned children into the game was atrocious, though.

The Hoshido characters are fine. Their supports are just as interesting as the Nohr ones and there aren't any Peris. They certainly aren't bad by any means. In the actual story the main characters all act like fucking morons throughout all of Conquest and they're just boring good guys in Birthright. Ryoma and Takumi are more compelling in Conquest and Xander and Camilla are more compelling in Birthright.

It's been a while since I played Awakening, I remember a lot of maps being cramped and the Pegasus Knights being able to do fuck all about maps with mountains/cliffs because they died easily. When I finish a game I generally keep the characters in mind unless it's a platformer.

Unless you consider the other routes dlc don't bother with it. They offer nothing in terms of story(or atleast worth reading) and the rewards thus far aren't great and worth real money. Ballistician and Witch come out in a few weeks but there's thankfully a freebie dlc that lets you get one of the two items for free.

The worst thing I can say about it is probably the dubbing even if I personally enjoyed it, but of course, all NIS games have dual audio so its a non issue.
If you want to get back in Disgaea, D5 is probably the way to go. Disgaea 1 came out on steam recently also if you ever want to replay it.

Been playing Conquest for a while now. Pretty solid to be honest, some of the new map mechanics are great and give a nice change of pace to the general FE mechanics and are a lot better than Awakenings "Route the enemy" every map.
Plot is not THAT bad but the biggest problem it has are the dialogues, they are beyond retarded.

The plot isn't bad, the writing is just complete horseshit.

While I just finished Birthright and now playing Conquest the story feels like it was originally supposed to be one game where Corrin bounces back and forth between the two sides.

I disagree about everything but the gameplay and the mechanic changes.

The story is drama, drama, dramaaaa and power of friendship and determination.

The cast was utterly terrible
Killia is a raging emotional faggot and the monologues are pure cringe.
Seraphina cannot stop thinking about cocks and talks nonstop about money. Literally a whore, benched as soon as possible for an archer.
Red Magnus doesn't ever stop being super dumb and only gets slightly better in the latter half.
Zeroken is that weeaboo you met in high school who went to class in a naruto headband.
Void Dark is generic edgy mcedge villain #420.
Majorita is also edgy.
Who the fuck is Lieserota even
The only people with half a brain are Usalia and Christo

Oh and fuck Seraphina for a second time.

And I still can't believe the Vita got cucked out of D5 because of the meme 100 enemies rooms that you run into once every 2 hours.

>>332253520
2nd gens aren't inherently a gameplay problem (though they're absolutely retarded from a story perspective). Planning out pairs for the sake of both pair up boosts, child stats, and the child chapters themselves (for exp and items) is an interesting element of a lunatic ironman run. They aren't so powerful that they are crucial to a run, either. I don't see what the problem is here.

I agree that it's very disheartening that most people use the blue orb for bonus content that destroys the balance of conquest. It's hard to discuss legitimate tactics without several people suggesting things that basically equate to cheating.

Setsuna is overshadowed by Takumi, while Hana and Hinata are overshadowed by Lobster-sama. They're not bad units on their own, but they're redundant in Birthright because the royals already fill their niches.

Charlotte and Benny aren't retainers.

Can't say for other routes, but Birthright's story is pretty fucking bad, like really fucking bad. The characters are even worse off due to 3/4th of the cast being a comic-relief.
The gameplay is meh. Even with the difficulty being higher and couple of new mechanics, it still feels like I'm back at playing Awakening. Half-way through the chapters, it just becomes a chore to play.

All in all, I'm glad I didn't spend money on it.

Yes, because Siggy was at least relatable and entertaining, and Edgleord and Stoner Boy were funny.

Border Guards who suddenly joined the group are as good as retainers at this point.

Okay, sure, they are overshadowed, but why should that get in the way of how good they are? I think that's a unfair argument. You can say the same for other units in Conquest.

>Takumi and Sakura are the better counterparts too. Unit wise.
Ah, spoken like a retarded grinder.

Takumi is useful for about 4 early game chapters before his stat gains stop keeping up with the enemy's stat inflation. He's a shitty overrated unit that only becomes relevant because you're playing the game at a snail's pace.

Leon meanwhile comes with incredibly solid bases, has 8 mov himself plus +1 mov on pairup, allowing him to be both an offense unit AND support unit.

I have a fucking essay detailing why Sakura is an absolute trainwreck thanks to the amount of money you need to waste in order to get her up to pace. Sure, you can dump 200 levels and 20 hours of care into her and turn her into a godly unit via the good growths like a true Awakeningbabby, but people with self respect will continue to use Elise and Felicia for their superior versatility and the fact that they can blossom with little to no effort, making them the prime support units for high level plays too.
>>
>>332254515
The problem is that they're just borrowed from Awakening, which stole it from Genealogy (and then dumbed it down for good measure), where they were actually important to the plot and gameplay.

There's no reason that they need to be there, and if they just designed too many characters they could just as easily make them normal characters and not kids of other characters. There's no reason Forrest couldn't have just been a crossdressing troubadour, there's no reason that Percy couldn't have been Arthur's little brother or something, hell Soleil could've had a better dynamic with Laslow if they WEREN'T father and daughter, and some of the kids would probably have ended up better if they had existed before the game even started, like Nina, Midori and the two furries.

Basically, the games are made to have very specifically designed and meticulously balanced challenges in their map design. Especially so in Lunatic Conquest. Getting a lot of free shit from online, whether it be skills, items, or grinding supports (that lets you open up paralogues you otherwise wouldn't, or gets you better pair up bonuses, etc) all results in an advantage that the game isn't balanced around. As a player, you get a diluted and inferior experience if you use the online features to aid your playthrough.

It's the same sort of deal as picking normal phoenix mode.

If you want to play that way go ahead, but it kind of irritates me when people are talking about tactics and someone jumps in and says "just use ___ overpowered item that you wouldn't normally have access to". In that sense it's basically the same as telling someone to use cheat codes to progress, since it completely defeats the purpose of posting about tactics.

Sakura has more balanced growths, the only thing holding her back are her bases. Elise dies if she gets a papercut.

Man, I'm not even grinding and he's incredibly powerful. I could give Sakura because I'm not so sure about her (I still find her more useful than Elise though), but Takumi? Seriously, people don't need to know much about the game to tell you that fact.

But they're a resource available to the player. In conquest you get Mozu's paralogue and a couple NPC castle invasions as optional battles, just like the child paralogues. I understand that some people will choose to ignore all optional battles (I'll probably do that once I've tried them all) but I don't see them as inherently problematic.

Should I really play either birthright or Conquest before REvelations?

I'm on the choice right now and haven't made it. Considering I can have both units from both sides in Revelations that makes it instantly superior, right?

Or does it not matter and I eventually get units from both sides anway?

If I can't mix-match marraiges in conquest or birthright for maximum efficiency and hilarious cross-kingdom banter, then I'm gonna fucking pick revelations regardless of it being my first playthrough.

You're right, you can say the same for units in Conquest, because when you consider the whole cast on each side, not every character is equal. It's not like you'll suffer for using any one character, but there are some characters who don't bring as much to the table, like Selena or Odin.

Let me put it this way, which one is going to let me have the MOST units? Is it possible to get all the units in any one route?

IF no the later question then this automatically is a shit FE game, because half the point of FE is satiating autism by letting you recruit every possible character and having them marry who you think they look cute with/whos gonna give them the best stats.

I want the route thats gonna be best suited for that: Collecting and shipping characters. Thats what FE is to me now thanks to the past few installments.

you don't get all of them in any route but revelation is the closest since you only miss out on yukimura and izana, real spoilersscarlet dies although you have her for a while, and gunther has no supports

While I disagree with Takumi, I whole heart agree with Sakura being shit since the last set of missions in Birthright go far beyond Sakura's natural abilities. Especially when Azama exist and can actively defend himself independent of any pairing help.

I'd also say Azura is shit with the only redeeming qualities is early game double turn singing and mid game Son unit.

People have a lot of trouble with Nohr Hard but I personally didn't, and I've only did two paralogues + Mozume. I strongly believe that's the result of me doing the paralogues and getting EXP I shouldn't have. Mozume and the castle invasions are fair game, but child paralogues are wackier than that: they are essentially full blown chapters, it's easy to abuse either the paralogues or the method to access them ("I'll just put theseeee units here until the paralogue happens!"). Nothing wrong with playing them once to see what they're about, but the safest rule is just to disregard them altogether.

This is a negative. I guess Chess is a shit game because you can't customize your pieces.

>characters that aren't hot garbage
I'm not defending FE, but Disgaea characters are extremely exaggerated garbage, most of them have a gimmick they repeat over and over. Look at D5 to see how bad it recently got.

>The special attacks are also way, way cooler
If you're not playing both FE and Disgaea with animation off you're doing it wrong.

I don't know how anyone can constantly spout this ""FE plot was never good" crap. Sure, the plots aren't too interesting on paper, but their execution and world-building used to be on-point.
Plus, they're filled with likable characters, though I think Fates does a pretty good job on that front.
>>

It's proving exactly that and that Ryoma is a fucking demon. Allegedly the streamer playing was judging attacks based on their faces, not even looking at the fucking numbers.

>>This is a negative. I guess Chess is a shit game because you can't customize your pieces.
I'm confused as to what you mean, you can have a Mage use axes or fists if you want. Any unit can defeat Baal if you put enough time into them unlike FE where some units just outright suck.
>>I'm not defending FE, but Disgaea characters are extremely exaggerated garbage, most of them have a gimmick they repeat over and over. Look at D5 to see how bad it recently got.
Even if I concede on this point, FE does this but way worse. Disgaea characters aren't perfect but I'll take them over Camillia who spends the whole game trying to ride your dick. Fates was made to pander and all it's done is attract degenerates like >>332257757 and >>332257925. Any Disgaea MC is also miles ahead of shitters like Chrom or Corrin, and the other FE MCs are so bland they're forgettable.

I turn them off when I've finished seeing them as well, but that doesn't change anything.

That doesn't really imply Cherche is bad, just that she is similar to Cherche but lesser. Personally I feel like the mount obsession of Cherche went to Sophie while the rest of her went to Camilla.

Conquest's characters are more likable though.
>>
>>332259013
She was going by the facial expressions of the units instead of the battle forecast. I'm surprised that after that and her spoiling the game, she didn't get more shit for it. Especially since she spoiled it by thinking it was initially a localization change, when it was the same in the Japanese and English versions.

I think it's even worse than Conquest to be honest. I'm not overly fond of the "perfect victory" endings and the plot focuses entirely on Corrin and Azura, the lamest characters, when the royals were so much more entertaining.
Also, legit spoilers the Sumeragi thing was so fucking terribly paced and out of nowhere, much like everything that happens once Corrin and friends jump into Valla.
With it's tedious as fuck maps, the best thing it has going for it is fun support fuckery.

It's better than your forgettable siblings in Hoshido and their 3 silent ninjas. Conquest's characters and overall dynamic was so much better.
Hoshido does have based Azama at least, so they've got that going for em.

Not in Birth "Hoshido can do no wrong" right. Every character is perfect and has no flaws save for Takumi who has middle kid syndrome.

If anything can do anything and be anything then where is the strategy? Why is there even a distinction between units anymore?

Can anyone help me with this? I'm at CH. 25 in Birthright and wanted to get Shiro but this Paralogue is literally impossible with the promoted enemies. After the first turn Shiro runs up to an enemy, hits him for 2 damage, and then gets doubled and killed. I have no idea how to fucking do this. I'm reading I should send Fliers with Ryoma and then rescue staff him out but how will anyone stay alive? Should I just say fuck it and not get him until Revelations?

Oh, I posted the thread yesterday asking about this.

I just decided it wasn't worth it and chose to wait until Revelations. Picked up Sophie instead, which turned out to be a good move.

Fuck my reading comprehension. If your Corrin has decent defenses, use his Hoshido Noble class to teleport Shiro towards you. Once you talk to him with Ryoma, you can probably just pair the 2 up and he should be fine since Ryoma is busted.

>Birthright characters
>better than Conquest characters

Birthright has only a small handful of interesting characters.

>Ryoma
Asshole, but he's a beast unit
>Takumi
A SHIT, but interesting, and a beast unit
>Hinoka
Literally no point now that she has what she's always wanted (you)
>Sakura
Just kind of there
>Hana
Shitty unit, as memorable as drywall
>Hinata
Only memorable for the bara porn and his meme son
>Subaki
Literally just a Cordelia who sucks ass
>Kaden
LOL WOW EPIC RANDOM HYPER
>Rinkah
Cool as fuck, but wow is she terrible
>Oboro
Great
>Azama
Great
>Saizo
Hot and okay, I guess, but I can't name one notable feature of his personality
>Izana
Bit of a meme man and a mediocre unit, but still cool as fuck
>Skymilf
Boring
>Yukimura or whatever the fuck his name is
Boring
>Not Ricken
Literally who?
>Dumb Archer
Pretty good

Not counting the children because no one cares about them.

I have a feeling I forgot some characters, but I have absolutely no idea who so I'm not even gonna bother.

Birthright in general is boring as fuck. The only times their characters are nearly all interesting is in Revelations, when they can interact with the infinitely superior Conquest characters.

I would recommend it. The conquest version specifically since it has the best gameplay.
Pirate if possible so can play jap dub + free dlc. Yes the English voices are that bad and I'm not a dual audio fag.
If you pirate I'd recommend the undub US version since face rubbing was always retarded and loses its novelty the third time you scratch your waifus retina's to build support.
Although I think playing the jap version with the noa translation might have access to more dlc.. I'm not sure.
Don't bother with the fan translation because they still haven't translated tons of support convo's (and probably never will).

ALSO
If you play conquest DONT FORGET TO GRAB THE FLAME SHURIKEN FROM SAIZO ON CHAPTER 12
If you miss that Felicia loses a lot f her usefulness.
>>
>>332259601
I agree with you man, Hoshido was super forgettable but that doesn't change the fact that the royals are retarded on the conquest side.
>>
>>332259968
I guess I'll give it another shot then. I just want to be done with Birthright already since I'm in Ch 25 and keep getting my ass handed to me on this map.

>>332260038
I might just end up doing this. I really only wanted Shiro because I use 3 female children (Kana, Selkie and Midori) and a male child would be able to A support them all. None of the other children looked good to me.

To be fair, if you're in contact with the main story, you'll end up being infected with some degree of retardism.

My problem is how everyone on the conquest side knows garon is a fucker, they know this well before you even pick a side. Yet when you join hoshido he's some how worth protecting. It's like they completely forget he's a fucker.
