Was leaning Birthright the whole time but all of a sudden I have a strong urge to start with Conquest. Looking for a coin to flip.

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
So...could I download one game, beat it, then delete it (but keep the save file) and then go with the other one and get the connectivity bonuses? Or would I need the full games installed together?
七難即滅 depended on your accuracy if you were able to get them to warp over but yeah Puppet is a great skill.
You can actually get the Hoshido Warp from Chapter 9 in Conquest in a chest. Super limited since 2 uses but you can get more through DLC.
Why would you delete the base version when the add on takes little SD space? You have both installed and it should be no bigger than like ~2.2gb. Keep them installed.

Was going to wait on this but won a $25 gift card at work. Sounds like a good excuse
In terms of gameplay, Fate improves on Awakening in every single way.
Improvements and balances on the new systems Awakening introduced with attack and guard stance.
A brand new weapon class
A whole new set of unit classes
A whole new set of weapons.
Actual interesting objectives and map gimmicks (sadly nearly all of those are on two of the three routes lol)
Interesting changes with lack of weapon durability and having two weapon classes on each side of the weapon triangle.
This game is Awakening 2.0 in the way that I can't see myself playing Awakening again. All the other FEs except for Shadow Dragon I can see myself replay once a while. However, Fates does a so much better job as a superior Awakening that I have no interesting in revisiting Awakening.

Here's my prediction for the result (welp didn't realize this image was so big. Sorry thread!).

I'm going Birthright first then Revelations.
It looks like I will have to miss out on Conquest, since I am on a bit of a budget with so many good games coming out the next two months.

Playing through birthright at the moment
for me it's a good challenge on hard. I've died plenty of times due to foolish moves. I'm no FE expert though with only having played awakening previously.
Fantastic game though. Loving the improvements over awakening and the nice extra features with the base building. Kind of digging the story thus far as well
upto chapter 14

Good call!
Little under 4 1/2 hours. Hopefully I'll be able to get 2 or 3 chapters in tonight.

Saw Birthright and Conquest on the shelves at my local walmart. Thought about trying to buy one but last time I tried getting a game early at walmart, I couldnt.

12 am EST. Nintendo is very reliable, but in my experience it usually triggers more like at 12:15am, instead of on the nose. I think its a YMMV type of thing.

Has anyone who ordered the Special Edition from Best Buy had it shipped yet? I thought this was supposed to be release-day delivery...

I don't think you need spoiler tag there

Apparently I preordered Birthright and not Conquest - I didn't know anything about either version when I preordered. Oh well, should be fun to start with the more Awakening style game and moving to more classic with Conquest. Also like to do a female playthrough first so it works out.
Mine shipped yesterday and will be arriving tomorrow according to tracking.

So, I've been hearing a lot of reports from people on other boards who got their hands on this early that Treehouse's localization job of this was absolutely *horrible* compared to 8-4's efforts with Awakening.
Anyone concur to this?
Bad translation+VA examples I've been given as well: https://youtu.be/miH5KBXRnxI https://youtu.be/7SBlsUqCx-I

WE'VE GOT TROUBLE
Should I:
1. Buy Birthright with conquest and revelations as DLC
2. Buy Conquest with Birthright and Revelations as DLC.
And should I:
A. Play Birthright, then Conquest, then Revelations
B. Play Birthright, then Revelations, then Conquest
C. Play Conquest, then Birthright, then Revelations
D. Play Conquest, then Revelations, then Birthright
E. Play Revelations, then Birthright, then Conquest (lol)
F. Play Revelations, then Conquest, then Birthright (lol)
And what difficulties should I play on?
SO. MANY. CHOICES. :3

People want the games to be more like Path of Radiance, right?
That said, there are a myriad number of way I hope the series will never be like Path of Radiance again.

well some of these are just different opinions/Nitpicks and the last one is false.

I like the Effie JP voice waaaay better, really sells the gentle person with monsterous power they were going for.
But I really like Felecia's voice honestly in English, the tones in conveying some sense of awkwardness is spot on.

The correct order is play Birthright and Conquest in whichever order you want, then play Revelation last, since Revelation has spoilers for both games. As for difficulty, how experienced with FE are you?

some are understandable, some are whatever
a lot of them feel like they changed it for the sake of changing something
there's also the feel of inconsistency in their changes, like shorten some names, lengthen others, there's no rhyme or reason really in all of the changes
some of the character changes are really bad (effie especially) and some of the voices are pretty terrible too
it's more like its a serviceable localization, just where it's bad, it's really bad

well some people wanted consistency, we are going back to the console ways of voice acting

Got Birthright! What can I say, I'm into samurai!
Is there a good guide yet for getting all the characters? I assume there are plenty of missable ones like in Awakening, though probably less obvious given I hear this game is more clever/creative when it comes to mission styles.
Also I was looking around and saw something about "capturing" enemies---what's that about?

I read somewhere Nintendo suggests Birthright>Conquest> Revelation. That's what I plan to do personally. Playing Birthright first should help me grasp the mechanics and strategies to tackle Conquest. And I'm going to wait for the exp map's to be released in case I need to grind a bit in Conquest.

Probably because it made up for it with this: https://youtu.be/vUUBC-9iTto
Just listened to the Fates remix and it's not as good
So I have a question for the knowledgeable dudes, when you play Revelations after 1 or 2 of the regular games; do you get to port your characters directly? Or are all the characters basically "reset" in a sense with a pre-selected level and pre-selected stats. So for example, I grind the shit outta Birthright and max out all my chars, do they copied directly into Revelations or are my characters somewhat reset? What about pairings?

"Sky Knight" isn't "Pegasus Knight". "Pegasus Knight" in Fates is the name of a Minerva-exclusive class, that we probably won't even see here due to no Cipher tie ins, unless the 2nd season of DLC happens. The standard pegasus fighting class had a different name in the Japanese version, which is why they also gave it a different name here.
The other complaints seem to overlook that 8-4 took similar creative liberties with renaming DLC, for example - see "Smash Brethren".
They always start from the beginning. You can record and import characters between different files, but that means that the imported character will be an "extra" outside of the story and unable to get supports.
However, when you record a character, rather than buying the character itself for a different file, you can also use that to buy their skills for their actual version in the other file, but you won't be able to import their levels or stats like that, just skills, and they need to be bought.
Support spoilers for Effie
Elfie also wasn't a big girl she's described as petite in the game. She just always had a huge appetite and loves training as her quirk which everyone found surprising and part of her unexpectedness out of her character.
exactly what it means. with a certain skill you can capture enemies and throw them in your prison once you unlock the building.
