Fire Emblem Fates – Birthright or Conquest?

Fire Emblem Fates releases exclusively on Nintendo 3DS on the 20th May, in two distinct versions, each with their own unique story paths – Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright and Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest. A third story path, Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation, will also be released as add-on content on Nintendo eShop on 9th June 2016. These are more than just superficial versions of the same game though. In Birthright, you choose to side with Hoshido, while in Conquest you take up arms for Nohr. Both Birthright and Conquest feature separate story paths, complete with characters and battles that cannot be found in the other version, whereas Revelation tells the tale of what would happen if you decided not to take a side.

Which fate will you choose? Read on to make your decision and for a chance to win a New Nintendo 3DS XL Fire Emblem Fates Edition!

Choose your difficulty

No matter which version of Fire Emblem Fates you play, it’s possible to adjust the difficulty level and also switch between three different modes…

Phoenix – Fallen units quickly return to battle.

Casual – Fallen units return in the next chapter.

Classic – Fallen units die. Each decision counts.

However, there is also an inherent level of challenge built into Birthright and Conquest. While Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright is recommended for newcomers and Fire Emblem fans of all levels, Conquest is a tougher game thanks to limited experience points and gold as well as much more fiendish level designs. If you’re one of the Fire Emblem faithful who’s been playing ever since the Game Boy Advance days then Conquest will provide the challenge you’ve been looking for.

So which edition of Fire Emblem Fates will you choose? Will you claim your Birthright, fighting alongside your blood relatives in a quest that’s suitable for all RPG fans? Or will you take the path of Conquest and prove your tactical prowess in one of the most challenging Fire Emblem games yet?
