So I finally gave Fates: Conquest a shot after hearing it being praised for it's gameplay but criticized for its story.
First off I'll deal with the bread & butter of FE, the maps. Yes there are some really good maps in this game that I enjoyed yet it was a mixed bag for me. Chapter 10 & 23 really stood out to me to me as the highlights of defend/attack maps. There's also the really bad gimmicky ones like Fuuga's wild ride or the pot breaking mission.... Or any mission that deals with ninjas with lunge...
There's also the major issue of how Conquest handles it's content with it's side missions. Outside of one recruitment mission and 3 invasion missions which suck, all of the side missions are only accessible through marriage via the children. Which makes it hard to even access them to begin with if you don't have dlc to grind relationships.
The direction they took weapons was a baffling one. Grinding through visiting other peoples online castles to get resources so I can upgrade weapons was not the way to go. The castle building was alright, the treehouse dating stuff was so bad and creepy it was comical. If they keep anything out of that for FE Switch to expand upon, it should be the kitchen cooking.
But yeah the story is just lol, Corrin refuses to kill people at first. Then all of a sudden he starts killing people without any sort of explanation. In early chapters he makes a concerted effort to make sure none of his enemies die, yet when he runs into pack of these shape shifting foxes he just kills them. Hans kills prisoners over and over, Corrin just does what he's told through the entire freaking game. It's not even him that takes the initial stand, it's Xander that finally has the balls to say that enough is enough. It's just ughhhh..
This meme was totally true though
