The Year is 2015.
Awakening has sold gangbusters.
Paper Mario Sticker Star has crashed and burned.
Somehow, both games are getting a sequel.
Fire Emblem Fates is that sequel. With more involved mechanics, map exclusive mechanics, removed cheese, refined difficulty, Bad Writing, and 3 whole games of content; almost double the number of total chapters, Fates is-

Broadly considered one of the most widely disliked FE games.

For reasons that are not unwarranted, yes, but come along with me and you'll understand that this game has more to offer to a dedicated player than a casual fan, paradoxically. For all of the beamoaning how the series was now "Too anime" and "Infested By CASUALS", Fates arguably gives the real Hard Mode Gaming fans what they want over the 3ds noobs, to an extent only somewhat matched by future entries. Fates is a game of experimentation, vastly increasing the scope of combat by including more moving variables from combat to combat, more control over how units grow and change class, and also Gay Marriage! Gay marriage is suboptimal for mixed attacker builds but that's besides the point.

But Kevins, what does this have to do with *Me*???​

Streetpass! Fates has an integrated streetpass system for distributing your customizable main character Corrin (You're probably familiar with them as the girl from smash bros with her feet out a chainsaw sword, but corrin is a lot more than that. Corrins can be deployed in all missions, and despite not having support conversations, they are fully featured insofar as having the exact stats and growths as the genuine article. Now, while streetpass and the Suprisingly Robust Online System have been down for some time now, through the power of hacking we can add and modify these Corrin Clones into the game, fully customizable in terms of giving them an appearance, a Pokemon-Nature esque Boon/Bane, and just about any class in the game and custom skill sets to make up for their lack of post-generation reclassing

Using the below google form, you can, without ever having had even played the game, or really understanding a ton about it, give me a corrin to use in my playthrough!
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1sEJyHNjt909XaAd4pA7ndXIXbAHKv4qQmqbNYcTdlOE/viewform

However, all corrins must know that they're fighting for their lives. in this Playthrough of Revelation Hard/Classic, permadeath is ENABLED. Your corrins CAN and perhaps WILL die. I, personally, have never played through Rev before in its entirety despite owning all 3 routes since launch, and although since I'm playing on the middle difficulty and have a lot of experience with the game's mechanics, I do NOT know everything.



.... It's good to be back. Updates will resume tonight.

Alright, now where was I....?

Fire Emblem Fates_29.03.25_20.51.40.493.png

Oh right, we were getting jumped by prepromote reinforcements. Lovely! I spent a while back when I was playing this chapter like a month ago on this very turn. good times!
Fire Emblem Fates_29.03.25_20.53.04.212.png

First off, I bite the bullet and accept that I have a 4% chance to instantly lose the run to a dragonstone miss. this doesn't happen, and xander falls.

Kamui decides that now that his xp yield is slower, he'd better get moving on those stats
Fire Emblem Fates_29.03.25_20.54.32.742.png

Everybody's hurt and we can easily get put in danger by the paladin approaching from the south. Korny steps in to dual strike the master ninja since she's at full
Fire Emblem Fates_29.03.25_20.54.52.673.png

Solid enough level for her efforts from the chip exp

WTA with bows on ninjas never gets old.

Yousef finds boxing in a speedy little asshole a lot easier, considering he can barely scratch her

Fire Emblem Fates_29.03.25_20.57.13.835.png

Ellipse feels something for the first time in weeks as she smites a trained killer with divine power

Fire Emblem Fates_29.03.25_20.57.42.341.png
These two don't have anything better to do so hey take some swipes at ryoma! You've got a 2 coinflips chance to conceivably contribute

Naizou, thankfully, has the 100% needed to murk this errant cavalier before anything else gets too bad.
Also, his model has taken some battle damage, which looks very cool

Fire Emblem Fates_29.03.25_20.59.31.04.png

Vesthal gets the kill on the master ninja, resulting in whats probably her best level so far

Fire Emblem Fates_29.03.25_21.00.03.068.png

I wasn't initially aware of this, but the Dragon Vein in this level will lower the tide of the river, which will make it so that we can actually just walk around Xander and Ryoma. I would have been really nice to know a little while ago but hey what are you going to do, I just straight up did not notice the dragon vein until then

Fire Emblem Fates_29.03.25_21.01.14.216.png

Mistake I made with Nort: I kept gamble on... even though he's doing most of his combat with hand axes, which physically cannot crit in this game. shiiiit.

Fire Emblem Fates_29.03.25_21.01.30.116.png

Anya is able to pick up Nort's slack, though
Fire Emblem Fates_29.03.25_21.01.40.872.png

and she gets a pretty excellent level for her efforts
Fire Emblem Fates_29.03.25_21.02.25.762.png

Luna gets a much worse level than her sister while fighting off the last paladin,
Fire Emblem Fates_29.03.25_21.02.37.733.png

and Kamui pops the trigger on the last portion of the map
Fire Emblem Fates_29.03.25_21.03.04.059.png

Man, I love looking at damage ranges! Time to put anya in range of whats probably One(1) spear fighter!

The power of the heart not submit!

Yeah this doesn't come across well in screenshot form because I was too busy shitting my pants to screencap it, but if literally anyone except Corrinort with Dual Guardsman+ was paired up with her she would have died due to not having shield gauge in time.

oops!

Fire Emblem Fates_29.03.25_21.05.12.865.png

Meanwhile, Yousef gets beaned by a professional javelin thrower

Cleaning up, Nort gets to finally work his high-damage on an enemy who can't fight back. I've been using him pretty conservatively on account of being a glass cannon, but a 2-Range user lets him just go all Birth By Sleep on this punk

Fire Emblem Fates_29.03.25_21.05.40.008.png

He awakens a new power, indeed

Fire Emblem Fates_29.03.25_21.06.20.737.png

The blowjob brothers get in on the action, because I'm no longer entertaining the thought of actually being able to kill Ryoma

Fire Emblem Fates_29.03.25_21.06.33.586.png

Yousef gets what's probably her best level ever, too off the dual strike

Fire Emblem Fates_29.03.25_21.06.50.986.png

Wompus is doing his best too but he's a nerd so who cares

Fire Emblem Fates_29.03.25_21.08.02.165.png

checking my spreadsheet, Bee (Who hasn't really said much in a while) is due for a level up

Fire Emblem Fates_29.03.25_21.08.11.342.png

It's good form to play with your food, aka Grinding weapon rank, especially on samus who has been on pair up duty almost all mission

Fire Emblem Fates_29.03.25_21.08.52.49.png

Bee gets a perfectly adequate level for a bow unit

Fire Emblem Fates_29.03.25_21.09.52.808.png

Keep up the weapon rank grindset

Fire Emblem Fates_29.03.25_21.10.28.289.png

...... I did a lot of weapon rank grindset
Fire Emblem Fates_29.03.25_21.11.10.964.png

Sadly, unlike in earlier games where the dropped weapon relates to the inventory slot, this guy will always only drop his hand axe and not his far more expensive silver axe
Fire Emblem Fates_29.03.25_21.11.32.493.png

Fire Emblem Fates_29.03.25_21.12.06.311.png

Kamui is still quiet quitting, but at least he levelled the good stats this time
Fire Emblem Fates_29.03.25_21.12.14.621.png

aaaaaaand we are done!

Fire Emblem Fates_29.03.25_21.16.03.162.png

Including magic weapons! Which have noticably higher base power than most tomes in the game, meaning that the best magic builds a lot of the time are based around accruing as many of these as possible

CHAPTER 14: THE ART OF AURA FARMING
Fire Emblem Fates_30.03.25_17.51.02.629.png

Our chapter begins in chapter 26 of birthright
Fire Emblem Fates_30.03.25_17.51.26.504.png

Xander took a hard nap after getting fleeced in the previous mission, and seemingly starting to get suspicious of his father's true intentions

Fire Emblem Fates_30.03.25_17.51.52.896.png

1745971407107.png
Leo, that cannot be true. Father a standup guy! I'm sure he has my best interests in mind

And so, Xander gets summoned to his EvilDad's bachelor pad

Fire Emblem Fates_30.03.25_17.53.42.586.png


Good for her. We have xander's goons to fight

Accompanying us on this mission are-
Fire Emblem Fates_30.03.25_17.54.05.88.png

Fire Emblem Fates_30.03.25_17.54.08.544.png

Oh. Well. That's not good. these guys have absolutely awful stats.
Yeah IntSys didn't really account for the fact that a lot of party members join way later into the game on Rev. These two are actually pretty great when they join in chapter 7 on conquest, but here they're basically worthless.

Fire Emblem Fates_30.03.25_17.54.23.029.png

Not helping matters is that we have quite a few promoted enemies to go up against, and they're no slouches when it comes to a fight.

Fire Emblem Fates_30.03.25_17.54.28.69.png
Fire Emblem Fates_30.03.25_17.54.35.385.png

Additionally, we need to get Elise over to recruit Potential Woman and LowInvestment Man the kitsune slayer.

Fire Emblem Fates_30.03.25_17.55.55.789.png

For the sake of our continued army development, I have picked up a beast killer, because the paladins are annoying and the pegasus knights are also annoying

Fire Emblem Fates_30.03.25_17.57.08.917.png

also gamble is now gone, lol

Fire Emblem Fates_30.03.25_18.13.24.029.png

Well, now that we've gotten Yousef up to level 17, its time to get her some REAL power


Fire Emblem Fates_30.03.25_18.13.41.313.png

Yousef is now a mobile tank who can slug it out with the best of them. Still gotta be worried about mages, but now at least she has access to, Importantly, Swords and Axes.

and we happen to have unique access to some very nice swords for her, huh....
Fire Emblem Fates_30.03.25_18.17.37.331.png

Elise wants to chat up some eligable bachelors/bachelorettes, and I happen to spot a few on the map...

Fire Emblem Fates_30.03.25_18.18.13.946.png

Moving Korin in, she hasn't done a ton in a while but luckily she has supereffective damage against these cavaliers

Fire Emblem Fates_30.03.25_18.18.25.135.png

We get a nice rod for our troubles, but sadly the items here aren't quite as good as CQ10 in some respects

Fire Emblem Fates_30.03.25_18.18.57.269.png

Dentist also hasn't been around in a hot minute so I'll just say that I did in fact go to the dentist in the past month. So that's great for her I guess

It time.
Screenshot 2025-03-30 173851.png
Yep.

Fire Emblem Fates_30.03.25_18.20.00.924.png

Korin is able to dispatch this guy quite handily. She's one of our very few units who can be a viable dodgetank, so it's nice to see her be facing such low hit rates
Fire Emblem Fates_30.03.25_18.20.16.496.png

Yousef is choking the life out of these fools, and their promoted counterparts won't fare much better
Fire Emblem Fates_30.03.25_18.20.43.466.png

Almost dead in one shot! Sadly we miss the clean kill but whatever, these guys have nothing on us.
Fire Emblem Fates_30.03.25_18.21.04.046.png

Anya isn't one to let others have all the fun! Her javelins are perfect for cleaning up kills
 
Fire Emblem Fates_30.03.25_18.21.19.498.png

A modest level to be sure, but a welcome one

Fire Emblem Fates_30.03.25_18.21.38.862.png

Farming out more rounds of combat...
Fire Emblem Fates_30.03.25_18.21.50.733.png

Gets us to B rank lances, which is very nice. at this point I'm considering throwing her an arms scroll when I get the chance because D/A/D is a very nice and workable weapon rank set, especially considering how good Brave/Venge weapons are since we have access to both
Fire Emblem Fates_30.03.25_18.22.10.53.png

With a little bit of moving around, Kamui is getting in on the fun, too
Fire Emblem Fates_30.03.25_18.22.35.607.png

Choking points has never been so rewarding!
Fire Emblem Fates_30.03.25_18.23.31.621.png

Meanwhile, our B squad is heading up the left. Bit annoying that noone over here has good defense but with a bit of pivoting we can dissassemble the enemy squad. this level isn't time sensitive, after all. Nort's nice pair up stats and skills get him some really nice utility here
Fire Emblem Fates_30.03.25_18.23.53.531.png

Physic is nice and all but also... this map was more rewarding on the other route
1746224129910.png

Fire Emblem Fates_30.03.25_18.24.41.034.png

These guys do a disconcerting amount of damage to Samus, but her lucky 7 is engaged so we should at least have some good evasion, right?
Fire Emblem Fates_30.03.25_18.24.46.329.png

Thank god
Fire Emblem Fates_30.03.25_18.24.58.936.png

Korin, meanwhile, swooces on these nerds in revenge for being on the bench for a little while
Fire Emblem Fates_30.03.25_18.25.10.306.png

Trust me, we don't want to be on the receiving end of un-mitigated paladin attacks...
Fire Emblem Fates_30.03.25_18.25.23.541.png

...like these ones. Shit. we gotta fall back.

This turn took me a little bit, but we can work this out. Samus shoots into this fighter to get herself guard gauge
Fire Emblem Fates_30.03.25_18.28.16.905.png

meanwhile, everyone else is able to get out of the danger zone. Samus can blank an attack this enemy phase to not die
Fire Emblem Fates_30.03.25_18.29.37.211.png

Wompus also wants to get in on the fun!
Screenshot 2025-03-30 173851.png
eh not really
Shut up wompus, impale that paladin. He got a level up but I didn't screenshot it because he was being rude [yeah, let's go with that]

Fire Emblem Fates_30.03.25_18.30.34.337.png

This is the big one this chapter. Anya has ascended to the raw power of DLC to become now one of our strongest units. A flying mage with great speed, boosted movement, and respectable physical offense. She's allowed everlasting darkness into her heart, and the enemies won't know what hit em

Kamui actually levelled up off the pair up, and what do you know, its a Kamui level alright.
Fire Emblem Fates_30.03.25_18.32.15.089.png

Scary numbers, but nothing we can't handle.

Samus gets an acceptable level off of taking pot shots at the paladin. I would really like for her defense to get up at some point, which is what I had hoped Mechanist would be doing for us. Sigh...
Fire Emblem Fates_30.03.25_18.32.43.429.png

Meanwhile, Wompus slams through the remaining paladin's hp

Fire Emblem Fates_30.03.25_18.33.09.838.png

Anya picks up a kill, and man its so nice to have a flier on deck with ranged weapons

Fire Emblem Fates_30.03.25_18.33.42.387.png

That archer is getting a bit close for comfort, so Yousef blocks him off from taking any shots we dont want

Fire Emblem Fates_30.03.25_18.34.36.783.png

Now that the western squad has been softened up, we can take them apart

Fire Emblem Fates_30.03.25_18.34.43.414.png

Korny absolutely obliterates this random dude

Fire Emblem Fates_30.03.25_18.35.09.584.png

This paladin is much less scary when his defenses are debuffed

Fire Emblem Fates_30.03.25_18.35.37.056.png

Back with Korin and PDG, Effie decides that she too wants to be in this episode with a nice dual guard

Fire Emblem Fates_30.03.25_18.35.49.463.png

PDG gets a very well appreciated level including hp, strength, and defense

Fire Emblem Fates_30.03.25_18.36.37.698.png

Korny's level is getting pretty high... if only we could do something about that, huh?
