While I'm not the biggest fan of a 2nd generation outside of FE4, I do think the Gen 2 kids were handled really well in terms of game mechanics, they are given "Inheritance Seals" which auto level them to a certain point depending on where you are in the game, these also grant them fairly good weapon ranks as well, which in this game is a godsend because of how slowly weapon ranks advance. Although I think if you grab the kids early they don't reap these benefits because of how it scales. The characters themselves are innocent enough, some make me laugh, some smile, others i'm eh on, but in terms of gameplay I think this was handled really well.

So here is a topic that's been on my mind and I want to see what you all think about it. We all know that Fire Emblem got its start on home consoles but its popularity and survival can be credited to its handheld market by far. However, even though I think the series is secure for the foreseeable future with the successes of Awakening and Fates will it remain on the handheld? A couple of years back in 2005-2008 I might have said hell yes. But with the increase in smart phone technology and popularity I don't see another dedicated handheld gaming console in Nintendo's future. At least not in the traditional sense. Lets be totally honest about something for a minute. Nintendo is lucky enough this generation the 3DS sold as well as it did and had a hard enough time as is in the beginning. Now smart phones are more prominent than ever and have a huge share of that market. In short, it doesn't make very much economic sense and its highly risky for Nintendo to release a dedicated mobile gaming console in today's market. This seems so much the case that there is speculation that Nintendo's next system the NX will be a hybrid of sorts with games that could be mutually exclusive or have some sort of incompatibility. I do enjoy the console Fire Emblems and they are hands down still my favorite games but they also didn't perform well sales wise and nearly tanked the series. While the series is in a far better position than what it was I think its easy to say Fire Emblem is fundamentally a title that suits handhelds better. But like I said with smart phones as popular as they are now how feasible is this? With the speculation that is the NX I guess we will have to wait and see...

How do I get Nina? Do I have to do something special? Do I have to fight her? I ask because the objective's meaning eludes me. Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance.

So, I was inspired by Shin's Smash survey thing, and I figured "hey thats cool why don't I try that with fates?" Birthright Survey Conquest Survey Revelations Survey Now this is based off the Gen 1 characters only, I figured kids would all fall under similar spots in peoples minds because they are generally all treated well, this is assumed to be Hard Mode on both versions, however people who have played Normal or Lunatic Mode are also allowed to put their opinions (in fact I encourage it), this isn't based on super exact facts, just opinions and i'm curious how an opinionated tier list for both games (and eventually Revelations but not all of us have that yet). Would go So enjoy, and don't do it more than once please. The results will be revealed once there have been a good set of replies and the time has passed, sorry if my wording wasn't the best on these categories either. Special thanks to Elieson for helping me with logistics of the sheets. Which are behind the scenes currently Edit: I forgot someone in Conquest for a moment, fixing.

For Fates, I currently have 83:27 on my Activity Log, which is quite a lot for a mere seven times played. The average play time I have is about eleven hours-which is more than double the second place software's average time. Personally, I probably could have done more if it weren't for my job and it's rather ridiculous scheduling times, although I did manage to beat Birthright in the first week, at least.What about you guys? How much have you played Fates this past week?

List or post pictures of Accessories found in Fates (localized or not)

I saw something like this in reddit so I thought maybe I can ask here to and see what you guy's favorite little details in this game were. It can be anything from any route but if it's spoiler-ish just mark it as one. I like the fact that if you give the Laslow, Odin or Severa an accessory from Lucina like the Butterfly Mask, they respond differently. I thought it was a nice touch actually. I also read that you can actually see Leo's cape being worn inside out if you look close enough. I actually thought they might did it but I fail to see it at first so maybe I can stare at it again when I start a new file. So, what about you guys?

Does anyone know where I can find the Title/Logo Font? I wanted to make a little thingy and it wold be nice to have it.

Hi everyone! I've treaded on Serene's Forest for a long time, but I just recently made an account and will now make my first post! I need help with my Birthright pairings, I have confidence in some, while others I feel are just leftover characters matched together. Any type of criticism is welcome, as long as it is justified. So let's cut to the chase: MU(Male)xScarlet SakuraxHayato RyomaxKagerou AzuraxKaden SilasxHinoka TakumixOboro (this is where I have low confidence) JakobxOrochi SetsunaxHinata AzamaxHana SaizoxMozu Any and all help is greatly appreciated, and if you took time to look at this and critique it, thank you in advance!

Hey there everyone! This topic's for everyone who either missed the stream or can't attend, due to being busy or having internet issues. I'll be posting the vods for them as they go up! I'll try my best to get most of them up this week~! Hoshido Part 1 With Birthright over, we switch onto Conquest! I'll be updating the thread as often as I can with the parts as they go up~

So, pretty much everyone had characters that they thought they liked or thought they'd use, or knew which characters were good and which were bad, but actually playing the game is a completely different story. So, did any characters surprise you, either gameplay-wise or even just personality-wise? For me, it was definitely Benny. Pre-English release, I remember people going on about how Generals were bad and that Effie was so good that there was no reason to use Benoit ever, but the guy's an absolute beast. His defence is so overkill high that even after being Defence Sealed, he still only gets hit for sub-10 damage, and his pair up bonuses are godly to boot. I paired him up with Dread Fighter Selena and they legitimately solo half of maps while the rest of my army takes care of the rest. Special mention goes to Ophelia because I was kind of ambivalent about her until I heard her voice and the fact that she's so softspoken while trying to shout ridiculous things just won me over immediately.

Using a NA 3ds copy of FE Fates can I play with someone with a Japanese copy of fates.

Is there any skill that allows Archers to attack at 1 distance? I remember seeing a video saying something about it. If you know anything, tell me please. Thank you

The title. haven't seen a topic for this yet and figured it'd be cool to have one thread instead of a bunch of threads. (if there is one sorry for obtuseness) I'm guessing you have to add friend codes to play with friends so lets play with each other. Post your FC here if you want and i'll add it to the this google doc list SF friend code list for fates https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qrxkyauXlGLMXbpNC6s9-3LqTwDWDD-3F-bkmarUfak/edit i've only played one battle so far with just corrin and felicia but hope to improve my team as the game progresses.

Hello all, As many others, I've been playing Fates and decided to go through things in the My Castle feature. I found the ancient texts section quite intriguing so I've decided to slowly decipher them as I go along and post the result for those interested. Ancient texts are now all translated. Thanks to MOOMANiBE for providing their complete translations and warning of spoilers in the bloodline 2 text. -------------------- No.000 Poem No.001 Prophecy of Sky No.002 Prophecy of Land No.003 Prophecy of Depths No.004 Dragons & People I No.005 Dragons & People II No.006 Bloodline 1 No.007 Bloodline 2 **contains major spoilers** No.008 Monument

So, I have a question. If i buy DLC for one game, will it automatically go to the other? Does it have to be the physical copy, or just digital? Or can it be both? So many questions! I need answers!

Can anyone check and see if the Fire Emblem Cipher codes work on the English version?

So where do I begin with this story? Well I pre-ordered a special edition of Fire Emblem Fates on November 12th and even recently (on January 31st) verified with a Best Buy representative that the order was good to go. Only to find out today that it got delayed indefinitely and they could not process my order. Aka they overestimated their stock and despite me paying and ordering I'm not getting the special edition because of yet another epic Best Buy screw up. The best part is when I tried to change the shipping option they couldn't process my payment in spite of having a perfectly healthy bank account and what have you. So I was given the option to revise the payment option in 24 hours and risk it being indefinitely delayed again or they would cancel my order. So I said screw it. Fortunately, I was able to get a refund and I bought a physical version of both games (so I have some nice boxart anyway and six save files not as great as nine but beggers can't be choosers). I know I could have just gotten the second at a discounted price but being the FE fan/game collector I'am I like having physical copies. Also for anyone else wondering or in a similar situation whatever DLC you buy through Dragon's Gate (I downloaded the 1st map pack to verify) on one version DOES work on the other physical version of the game without having to pay for it a second time. For example, if you pay for and download DLC for your physical Nohr cart you DO NOT have to pay for it again to be able to play it on your physical Hoshido cart. So that is a major silver lining and I'm glad Nintendo thought of this. The only downsides are that if you want to play Revelations you have to pay for it and wait until March 10th or whenever its being released. However, given that dragon's gate DLC works on both physical versions once you pay for it once I would hope the same would be said for the third path although I might have to stick with it being playable on one cart since its being treated as a separate game in itself (which sucks because of the three save file limit per cart) Oh and if you want to play another side's story you have to switch carts but I guess that's a given. Either way bad experience I'm not pre-ordering through Best Buy again. If I can bum a copy of the art book I might but I won't hold my breath. I hope no else has this unfortunate run in of events but in case you do and have questions about having two physical carts and dlc and so on feel free to ask even though there's only one pack out right now.

it says the pre load time is up, but the game still wont launch! Is this a problem everyone who has the game preloaded? Or is it just me? http://imgur.com/KZVf5R9

Hey Guys, so here's my question: In Fire Emblem: Awakening one of my favorite things to do was create new avatars, send them over to my file, train them, and then use them in my main party. However in Awakening all avatars had access to all classes. In Fates that is not the case. So basically what I'm asking is if there is any way to unlock classes for an avatar I brought over from another one of my files? If not are there other ways to unlock classes other than supports? Also, if neither of those are possible what do you guys suggest I do to unlock the classes I want them to have without getting them to high level to not get the skills, but still do it quick enough that I can play them on my main playthrough? Thanks in advance guys.

Other than voting for the Serenes Scribbles event, the issue with the SE of Fates has been quite conflicting for me (for different reasons. The SS event is for good reasons...so many good entries... :3 ). The release date for Fates is so close, yet we've heard nothing about the SE. Unless Nintendo is trying to make a lot them before the release and making retailers not have too many pre-orders so they can get them out without too much pressure, it's kinda a pain not hearing or seeing anything about it. I've been watching Amazon (and sometimes even that FE:Fates Tracker) like a hawk lately because I KNOW that the SE is gonna be jumped on like a cheetah bolting for prey after not eating for almost a week. Also, I even went to my Wal-Mart and tried to see if I could be lucky and find one...nope. I did see both versions of Fates behind the glass case though......I felt like I was being taunted......*sigh*...... :'(

WE HAVE MOVED TO THIS THREAD. PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS CURRENT THREAD. ------------------------- Hello! This is the official topic for Team If's project, the Delocalization and Restoration of Lost Content of Fire Emblem: Fates (NA). Please post all questions you have relating to the patch here. A team member or fellow forum follower will try to answer your question as soon as possible. -- Planned Patch Files: - Amie Restoration: Restore face-rubbing into Fire Emblem: Fates. The blowing functionality may be lost. We may be unable to do this. IMPORTANT: It is suggested that a fresh save be used for any content restoration patch, as the game is accessing content previously unavailable, players may experience problems with their new content going to and from patched/unpatched; Also, do not use any content restorations online, this could lead to either bans from Nintendo, or you could possibly crash other player's games. -- Downloads: Patcher Swimsuits Undub [Mirror] Name Patch (WIP) Fanslation (WIP) (Error Log) Playable Chrom, Lissa, Frederick (Undub) (MEGA) (Dropbox) Playable Chrom, Lissa, Frederick (English) (MEGA) (Dropbox) Note: When using the undub patch, voice options 4 and 5 will result in a silent MU if the save is loaded unpatched. Why? Because options 4 and 5 don't exist in the localization. Note: The current name patch is only for the main story + status screen on-screen names. Why? Because supports also have to be individually recompressed. There's 1.1k support files. That's not a thing we'll do now. :) Note: The fanslation is still a WIP. Please report any errors to the error log. Note: Playable Chrom, Lissa, and Frederick is released as a .cia. This means it is cfw only, and since we can't release official DLC, this will cause all your active DLC to be deleted.

A: Look up. Q: Can I use this patch? A: Yes, you can. Depending on what firmware you're using, what you can patch differs! Q: Firmware? A: Here's the breakdown: If your firmware is at or below, 9.2, you can install a cfw (ReiNand is recommended), and use that to play our patch. As a .cia installion, online will work. If your firmware is between 9.3 and 10.3, you can either use Homebrew, or downgrade to 9.2 If your firmware is 10.4-10.6, your only choice is using Homebrew to temporarily patch your rom. Q: Homebrew? A: Homebrew is, simply a put, a hack released by smealum and others that allows us to make use of our 3DS a bit more. Homebrew comes with a "HANS" function, which will temporarily patch your ROM with our patch. Q: Can I use online with the HANS patch? A: Nope. Q: Can I use DLC with HANS? A: Not as of yet. We are not the developers of Homebrew. Q: What exactly is DLC? A: Anything that isn't on your physical cart when you load it in. Or, basically, anything you downloaded from the eshop. More to come.

I'm planning on running Kanna, Kamui, Flora, Midoriko and Kaze. Post your ideas for a team if you aren't trying to keep your tactics a secret.

So I was bored at work today and after hearing a conversation about Zodiac signs and match up compatibility since it was Valentines Day, it reminded me that the Fates characters actually have official birthdays and fall under particular signs that may or may not reflect their nature. Being pretty curious, I pulled together all the characters and birthdays to find out what sign they are. Since I haven't played the game and thankfully haven't spoiled everything for myself yet or read too many supports, I have no idea how accurate they are to their signs, but I figured it'd be a fun thing to see if you are astrologically compatible with your spouse, friend, child, sibling, etc. while waiting for release. And it doesn't just have to be your Corrin and someone else either; you could also try seeing if any other pairs you made in game are compatible/accurate too. And I found some additional info for a general description of the sign for those unfamiliar with it, which you can find on most Zodiac compatibility sites. Generally, these seem to be the ideal combinations: Aries: March 21st - April 19th Taurus: April 20th - May 20th Characters: Niles (April 22nd), Yukimura (April 28th), Ryoma (May 1st), Charlotte (May 4th), Hinata (May 10th), Midori (May 17th), Setsuna (May 20th) Gemini: May 21st - June 20th Characters: Mitama (June 26th), Leo (June 30th), Kisaragi (July 4th), Caeldori (July 6th), Kaden (July 12th), Odin (July 15th), Sophie (July 21st) Leo: July 23rd - August 22nd Characters: Soleil (August 31st), Percy (September 5th), Azama (September 8th), Ophelia (September 15th), Hayato (September 19th) Libra: September 23rd - October 22nd Characters: Hisame (September 27th), Saizou (October 2nd), Kaze (October 2nd), Mozu (October 6th), Velouria (October 11th), Selkie (October 20th) Scorpio: October 23rd - November 21st Characters: Oboro (November 28th), Camilla (November 30th), Jakob (December 3rd), Takumi (December 14th), Shura (December 21st) Capricorn: December 22nd - January 19th Characters: Peri (December 24th), Izana (December 29th), Asugi (January 1st), Fuuga (January 8th) Aquarius: January 20th - February 18th Characters: Selena (January 21st), Arthur (January 24th), Nina (January 31st), Rinkah (February 5th), Subaki (February 7th), Nyx (February 17th) Pisces: February 19th - March 20th Characters: Flora (February 19th), Felicia (February 19th), Beruka (February 26th), Azura (March 3rd), Forrest (March 13th), Elise (March 19th) So, did anyone match perfectly or terribly? Either way, I hope this diverted you for a while as we try to get through the long week before we finally get Fates~! ...yeah, I promise I'll think again next time before I make stupid threads at the wee hours of the morning...XP
