I would say get Revelations when you can, and don't bother too much with Birthright or Conquest unless you're a completionist. It does fix most of Awakening's problems such as the pointless subplots being thrown in and not having a real consistent storyline or villain, but I feel like the story still managed to be even worse. The gameplay of Conquest is pretty fun, but I wouldn't recommend either one of them for the story. The plot twists also all seemed rather ridiculous, and the villain lacked any real interesting motivation.
Without spoiling anything, I can say that the characters just sort of all seem to act very irrationally and the main character just came off as a very badly written and annoying protagonist who never really does much actually good in the story. However, while they tried to do something unique for Conquest, I can't help but feel it was a fair bit worse than the usual Fire Emblem story. I've read through a significant amount of Birthright's script and story and it seems to be on the same level as most other Fire Emblem games. Fire Emblem stories are almost never particularly great (Path of Radiance's story was decent I suppose) but for the most part they're all the same level of inoffensively bland. Fri 20th May Haven't played Birthright but as someone who's played quite a few Fire Emblem games and followed the game up until its release I can say that the story is.If you were lucky enough to grab a copy of the limited edition package before it sold out, then you're in for a treat - you get all three versions of the game on a single game card, removing the need to worry about which one you should opt for. The third campaign - dubbed Revelation - isn't due out in Europe until June 9th and can also be purchased for £17.99 / 19.99 Euros / $19.99. Thankfully, whichever version you choose, you can purchase the other version digitally at a reduced price of £17.99 / 19.99 Euros / $19.99. While they are two parallel plots rather than two sides of the same story, playing both gives you a different perspective on events and characters.
FIRE EMBLEM FATES FULL
That means to really experience the full potential of the game's story, you need to buy both. Unlike the Pokémon series, which also uses a dual-version format and shares a lot of content between each version, both editions of Fire Emblem Fates offer a contrasting storyline, different allies and exclusive troop classes. It also gives you slightly trickier mission objectives to fulfil, making it a neat change of pace for seasoned Fire Emblem players. It limits your ability to take part in optional side missions and restricts your access to funds, which means you have to be very careful when levelling up your troops and spending money. Should you be a franchise veteran or crave a sterner challenge, then Conquest is the best option. The mission structure is very similar to Awakening, too - you're generally tasked with routing the enemy, killing a specific character or moving to a particular part of the map. It's the more accommodating of the two "starter" versions, offering the chance to embark on missions outside of the main storyline in order to build experience and accrue gold.
FIRE EMBLEM FATES SERIES
If you're a newcomer to the series or don't consider yourself to be a tactical expert, then the logical place to begin is Birthright. Choosing which version is the right one for you requires a little forward-planning - not just for the fact that Birthright and Conquest offer very different experiences and challenges, but because Nintendo has different purchasing paths for you to explore. While that only had one version, Fates is divided into two retail packages with a third chapter coming on June 9th. Fire Emblem Fates is out in Europe today, but picking up a copy isn't as simple a purchasing decision as it was with the previous outing, Fire Emblem: Awakening.
