Fire Emblem Fates: Official Release Thread (Read OP Rules!)

[Shortybread]

This game is killing me-
BUT HEY WAIT SO let me get this straight here...

(Birthright chapter 15 and onward spoilers!)

Spoiler:

Is Kaze like?? dead for good? And I could have saved him if I'd only gotten a couple more supports with him? Because If so I hate myself now, omg, this game is hard enough for my soul without knowing that I could have saved him...

Spoiler:

If you don't have an A support with him and Corrin by Chapter 15 he dies. It's horrible ;___; Kaze is ao great too

Spoiler:

Ughhh, that's horrible omg
All I can ask is, do things get better? Because the past few chapters have been so emotionally draining. I don't wanna know how or when but...do they? or is it just depressing forever?

I'll give you a hint. I'm on chapter 25 and...well,

Spoiler:

I'M DROWNING IN MY OWN TEARS!

[Icewings]

I feel like I'm speeding through the game, so I've been holding off :/ On chapter... Uh... 14, I think?

But judging by other people there's a lot of chapters, and I haven't even paired up anyone yet lol

Nohr Chapter 10 Spoilers

Spoiler:

it physically pains me to have Takumi hate my guts, but it pains me even more to have him obliterate me. Even on normal, Nohr is kicking my « Mr.Gourmet's hat ».

[Blue Rose]

Pairing talk - Hoshido

Spoiler:

saizo x Sakura is really cute jakdjdlflkdkcoe
Orochi x Silas has been awful so far. Seems like his supports Are just major hit or misses.

Whyyyy can't I ship scarlet with ryoma gosh darn it ninty

MET LOBSTER HUSBAND THO. And Christ his supports build up FAST with you. Trying to get his "friendly" invite Allie dialogue but bluh

[Ronin19]

Birthright Chapter 26 Spoilers. WARNING, these are HEAVY spoilers.

Spoiler:

ELISE! XANDER! It's SO sad! I knew Elise's death was coming because I saw a gif of her death on the wiki, but even knowing and going into it I WAS NOT PREPARED!

Looks like I'm grinding for...FOREVER! Nah, I'll just get the child units and I should be fine. I did manage to get Ryoma, Kaze AND Silas along with Kaden to a potential S Rank with my Avatar though.

[Blue Rose]

So got my first (rival) child in birthright...

Spoiler:

Sakura!asugi. Probably the closest thing to his original color except maybe Felicia. He looks cute tho. In terms of his VA, I think it may still be Gideon emery but it's just hella young.

The relationship between Asugi and Saizo is soooo interesting tho.

Saizo x Sakura ended up a really cute pair and probably my favorite so far.

In terms of feMU supports, I think Kaze has the best one so far. « Cow Poopoo » was gooood.

Side note, I hate how there is nothing for rival pairs post-their marriage. Even if generic, I liked the random dialogue stuff you could get with a married pair on the sparkly tiles in awakening.

Edit: soooo maxed out lobster lord

Spoiler:

his last support was really solid, and the previous ones were good, just more heavily family-oriented. He's a bit dry and he looks funky in Amie but he's my lobster.

His kana ended up really cute looking, while shiro ended up more looking like a jumbo shrimp with his hair color versus red. Ahhh well

I love both of them. But shiro is fantastic! Very handsome, likable (at least IMO) and a nice foil to his dad

Probably gonna take some time to pair up folks and get children before I advance the story

[PeachyKeen]

@Brose:

Spoiler:

Im really interested in seeing Saizo and Sakura's supports now originally, I had her paired up with Hayato, but I think I might try this now? And I agree; Kaze's supports with feMU are really good! Also, I'd like to ask who, if anyone, did you pair Kaden with? I'm struggling finding a person for him haha

I think it's chapter 13 Birthright spoilers

Spoiler:

i really loved the opera house stage, don't know why. It was just super interesting and cool even though you didn't really need to fight everyone. But holy « Puppy Doodoo », Xander really knows how to destroy you with his words

[FoolishGhoul]

I made a terrible mistake marrying Kaden because of this

Spoiler:

I found my fave support couple

In other news, realized I married him because he's a giant « Snuggly Bunny » dork and reminds me of my bf. And Selkie is like my favorite character. I think. Maybe. There's way too many good characters man. Game breaks my heart having to pick who I had to marry and pick sides. I don't feel like I'm rushing since I'm doing the extra battles whenever they show up before the main storyline, but at the same time I'm at chapter 20 and I got the game like 2 or 3 days ago so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@ peachy

Spoiler:

yeah! Definitely worth checking out. It kind of surprised me but I was curious cause of their personalities and such. But it really was cute, imo. Had me giggling/d'awwing And everything. Also their events ties well in with saizo and him being such a contrast to his son

For Kaden, I haven't really decided, but him and setsuna c-a weren't too bad. I think I heard him And azura were cute but I can't remember. Him and hana had a very rocky start, but haven't seen how it ended.

Other pairing talk + vague child unit mentions

Spoiler:

jakob x Mozu was just precious and jet black Dwyer looks soooo good.

Rinkah x Kaze is probably considered a food support, but I thought it was still well done and pretty darn cute all things considering.

Azama x Hinoka had really good/interesting c-a supports but S was just awful or at least incredibly disappointing.

Having a hard time pairing off azama and Silas cause the former is a « Sheep Squeezer » and the latter doesn't play nice with the other kids sometimes. Will try azama x setsuna but I love her and don't want to put her with him...but I gotta say their b support was hysterical.

I SHIP IT 8D

Edit: I think I'll be male my first playthrough. I've been looking at the wikia trying to determine which lady to go for. I'm thinking Scarlet...

@Blue Rose

(pairing stuff, birthright)

Spoiler:

Have you already married off Orochi? Orochi x Azama is my OTP in this game. They troll each other so hard. It's amazing.

I've yet to decide on any other pairings, but I've made a huge chart on my Macbook notes ranking people in terms of different categories and writing who I'm thinking of pairing up.

(more birthright pairing stuff)

Spoiler:

So far Mozu and Setsuna are like, the belles of the ball in my game, I want to pair them with EVERYONE. I've been trying Setsuna x Kaden but it's not as intriguing as I would like. Hinata is my cinnamon roll, I would take him for myself except that I love his pairings with everyone else way more -- so far Hana is winning there.

Saizo/Kagero's B level was interesting. Hinoka/Subaki seems awesome so far.

Hayato is annoying because his pairings are like, ok... his Sakura C level was pretty good... but Rhajat is SO IMPORTANT, and how could Rhajat ever come out of Sakura?! (Admitted that pink hair Rhajat is gorgeous.) I'm inclined to pair him with Setsuna just to give Rhajat an appropriate mom, but Setsuna is too perfect...

SO MANY PEOPLE TO SHIP

That is adorable! I haven't married Kaden yet, but now I'm hoping one of the children is my new favorite now. I guess I can always pair them up in another playthrough.

[Blue Rose]

Hana x Hayato is pretty cute but I KNOW that brown hair is gonna look baaaad on tharja

Conquest pairing/kid talk

Spoiler:

leo x Nyx was a really solid support imo. Final one was super sweet. Forrest is also a major sweetheart. <333

I saw the end of Benny x Selena support and while very funny, it could've been smoother at times. Also poor Ignatious doesn't look nearly as good as I thought he would with Selena's red hair

[RopeMaidenKirie]

Omg Nikki your Selkie set <3 <3



Whooooooa holy « Cow Poopoo » guys
