in 2015 they made a game called fire emblem fates


my life was forever changed for the worse

AND YOURS CAN BE MADE WORSE TOO! Fill out this form


To make a custom character that I can use ingame! You don't need to really know much about the game, how the mechanics work, or even have a 3ds! just follow along and you could have the chance to have a starring role in one of Nintendo's strangest titles



Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.29.30.337.png

For this group play though, I've decided to make a relatively normal looking corrin. I've decided to name him Kamui (Corrin's japanese name) because referring to him in particular when literally everybody is a corrin would be nightmarish. I spun a wheel to get a random class and I ended up with spear fighter of all things, not normally one I'd pick for my MC but hey whatever, Spear Master is pretty good I guess and rend heaven is a nice skill. To compliment this I went with +Dexterity (What they call the skill stat in later games, not to be confused with class skills, ugh) and -Luck because luck doesn't do a ton honestly.

If you didn't know, Corrin DOES start with kind of a defined build, being slightly more tuned toward being a fast physical attacker than magically focused stats

With variable stat growths depending on your boon/bane
1740158526722.png

Noticably, these aren't all equal, with magic, Skill, and Luck giving the biggest changes

That said, corrin can do just about anything. Don't be like me and make the mistake of going -Res, because despite what you'd think, Fates has more enemy mages than probably any other FE game.

This first big trunk of the game doesn't actually have the option for us to pick around a party yet so really this first chunk is just going to be my main character beating the **** out of everyone around him.

So, for this first batch of small levels I will provide a quick synopsis of what went on what's happening in the story and what level ups I'm getting so you can understand what the game play is like even if you haven't played the game before




PROLOGUE: TUTORIAL DREAMS
Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.31.52.803.png

We open on a dream sequence of Kamui here in a descisive battle!

Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.32.38.776.png

These enemies are kind of chumps, but nothing we can't handle by using a Dual Strike. Any 2 characters next to each other will attack together, although the supporting unit will do halved damage. Thats about it!

CHAPTER 1: FIGHTING FOR FAKE
Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.33.22.234.png

Corrin has to fight his big brother Xander, although he's not much of a threat
Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.33.43.28.png

He even gives us a heal tile using his Dragon Vein. How thoughtful!
Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.34.00.364.png

The first level up of many! More strength means more physical damage, and by the end of the game we're gonna need a lot of that. Dex is also nice, as it dictates both Chance to Hit and Chance to Crit. I like having good accuracy, and crits are really nice in this game.


1740159026125.png
"Man, if there's anything I love, it's being with my precisely four siblings together forever!"

CHAPTER 2: KILLING PEOPLE IS GOOD(?)
Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.34.35.746.png

Corrin gets summoned to his EvilDad's bachelor pad

1740159255987.png
"Kamui! Killing people is not only good, but also cool! you should do it"
1740159282860.png
"Bro what"

1740159295644.png
"Take my evil wizard sword and kill these hostages I found. have fun lmao"

What a standup guy! I'm sure he has my best interests in mind

Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.34.50.08.png

Kamui is accompanied by some non-corrins. What a shame! We can use these guys until we unlock the castle in chapter 7, and hence full access to the Corrin Cloning Cascade

Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.35.02.853.png

Using the glowy symbol on the floor, we can make some healing tiles to keep us in ship shape. Right on!


Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.35.52.005.png

Kamui gets a decent level off the first wave of enemies. Any level with strength or speed is fine by me

Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.36.59.986.png

These goons are powerless before the mighty Evil Wizard Sword, ganglari!

Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.37.18.436.png

these ninjas are no match for Corrin's sexy grandpa
Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.38.02.894.png

Rinkah goes down to a perfect damage dual strike

Fates is the best worst Fire Emblem game. The gameplay is as great as the story is bad. I love Garon as a villain for the memes, though.
 
Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.38.16.063.png

Meh. First crappy Level.
Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.38.25.554.png

As we will find out playing the game more, healers will be incredibly important

We are playing on HARD/CLASSIC, meaning that units CAN die forever. In this first chunk of the game before we pick our storyline it's not permanent but all the Corrin Clones can and will be in fatal danger if we let them

Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.38.37.908.png

Felicia ends up finishing off the ninja, kaze

CHAPTER 3: CRUISING FOR A BRUISING

1740159762180.png
'"Dude, that was badass. you should go attack the Hoshidan border. It'd be pretty awesome."

Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.39.12.874.png

Kamui goes to the bottomless canyon that separates the kingdom of day and kingdom of night. surely nothing evil lives down there!
Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.39.34.154.png

We pair up with Gunter here and man, these samurai can't do ****. While paired up, we get both stat boosts based on the supporting unit's class, and the guard gauge, which fills with each attack and can be expended to blank some hits

Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.40.04.556.png

Gunter here also gives some extra firepower. Hell yeah.

Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.40.15.462.png

This chunk of enemies doesn't move, but we won't be dealing with them because theyre a pain in the ass

Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.40.38.074.png

Hans throws himself into the enemies because he's not a pretty anime boy and hence has no concept of "Tactical Strategy"

Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.41.02.498.png

I don't want to deal with all that so let's just use a dragon vein here
Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.41.06.162.png


Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.41.12.79.png

This random jobber has no clue whats about to hit him
Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.41.33.852.png

Pretty decent Kamui level. Getting all the Chance-influencer stats up early on can help a ton
Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.44.45.614.png

We set em up,

Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.45.20.601.png


And knock em down!

Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.46.31.793.png

Since we're on hard mode, this ninja boss actually poses a bit of a threat. He's fast enough to attack us twice in one round of combat
Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.46.48.802.png

Felicia got put in a bad spot but dodged 2 74's. good for her
Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.47.56.443.png

The pegasus knight reinforcements signal us to take our leave, although I'm feeling greedy
Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.48.15.576.png

Sometimes, Kamui can just lock in. Low% crits rule when I'm not on the receiving end!

Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.49.05.959.png

And that's that
 
The Pegasus reinforcements in chapter three aren’t so bad unless you’re playing Lunatic. I think they have Darting Blow on Lunatic only, though I could be wrong.

Your commentary for the dialogue is also so much better than the actual dialogue it isn’t funny.
 
CHAPTER 4: FACELESS MOOKS
1740183063820.png
"man, that border skirmish was a heck of a ride. Let's go back home over the canyon"

1740183105282.png
"Not so fast pal! you're goin in the canyon whether you like it or not"

1740183151551.png
"Allow me to handle this wretched miscreant, milord!"

1740183206121.png
"Wait gunter this bridge is really rickety. you shouldn't charge ahead on-"

Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.49.31.786.png

and so Gunter and Kamui fall down a hole. Sucks to be them!
Kamui makes it out alive for reasons that aren't plot relevant.


Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.50.22.517.png

Kamui finds himself in the woods, surrounded by 2010's Anime Evil Softcore Porn Orcs. I hear you can get a good deal buying these in bulk at costco. For whatever reason, my 3ds copy of FE fates seems to be having a graphical glitch on this map



1740183421522.png
"Sir Kamui! You've arrived just in time! we need to save the princesses!"
1740183487379.png
"Saving princesses is a Flame Tribe specialty! Let's go!"
1740183522058.png
"Who even are you people???"
1740183589474.png
"I go by many names. Big Dick, Fat Cock, Turbo Chad, but you can call me Ryoma McHoshido, crown prince of Laser Swords."
1740183649526.png
"Sure, whatever works. If there's one thing I hate, its lettting princesses get hurt!"




Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.50.29.244.png

In this mission, Kaze and Rinkah are here with us. They aren't too strong unless you take your time on this map feeding them some XP (VERY recommended for Lunatic mode), but for our purposes they're just here to be backup for our main event
Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.50.33.224.png

Also, Ryoma is here! his sword can be treated as a ranged attack with no downside and he currently dwarfs us in stats.

Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.51.07.041.png
Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.51.14.303.png

Princess Hinoka puts her money where her mouth is

Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.51.46.852.png

Seriously, the Hoshidan royal family hits very hard, and very twice
Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.52.02.104.png

Part of that is because Ryoma's sword is cooler than he is.


It's sure a shame only he can use it, huh.

Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.52.33.574.png

Along the way up through the left, yet another low% crit. Thanks I guess kaze but that exp was going to Kamui

Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.52.44.381.png

Another okay level up

Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.53.23.707.png

Using the dragon veins on this map melts away the massive snow banks to get us some better mobility. We gotta move fast... or not honestly, saving Sakura and Hinoka doesn't do much

Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.53.59.822.png

As Hinoka is nicely showing off here, adjacent enemies can do dual strikes too! It really stings when it happens, so try not to let enemies group up. If they do, ranged attacks are preferred

Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.54.42.881.png

Ah here, let me make my way over to that dragon vein so that we can kill that cluster of faceless-
Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.55.06.806.png

Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.55.15.448.png

Oh



Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.55.55.643.png

Ryoma, ever quick on the uptake, explodes this faceless in revenge

Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.57.03.359.png

Talking to hinoka here gets us a pretty decent healing item. Thanks! and also Sorry I guess

Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.57.11.052.png

For whatever reason, also, Rinkah comes with a goddess Icon in her inventory. 4 whole points of luck is actually a pretty decent amount, and offsets any real penalty going Unlucky on your main character could actually pose

Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.57.34.196.png

With those guys taken care of, we melt down a path to the boss
Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.58.18.336.png

Oh they do real damage im gonna actually need that


1740184377969.png
"Wow man you're really fucking up this level. Kaze almost died offscreen. That's really embarassing."
1740184414265.png
"Im trying my best please be nice to me."


Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_22.58.34.538.png

I do more damage to them then they do to me, so whatever


Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_23.00.20.15.png

A pretty awesome level...

Fire Emblem Fates_20.02.25_23.00.52.968.png

and the mission is completed!
