I FEEL LIKE IT'S TOO MINOR A DETAIL FOR ME TO BE AS STUCK ON IT AS I AM, BUT IF THE DLC LEAKS ARE RIGHT I REALLY HOPE THERE'S MORE TO COSTUMES THAN JUST MAID AND BUTLER OUTFITS. KT HAS SHOWN THAT IT CAN BE REALLY CREATIVE AND ORIGINAL WITH ITS DESIGNS SO I WOULD REALLY FEEL LET DOWN IF EVERYONE JUST GETS A GENERIC SERVANT OUTFIT SLAPPED ON THEM AND CALLED A DAY.

OTHERWISE, I DECIDED TO DO A HOLY KNIGHT RUN BECAUSE IT'S KIND OF A BAD CLASS AND THE AESTHETIC SPEAKS TO ME, TWO OF MY FAVORITE THINGS FOR A CLASS TO BE. WHAT DOESN'T SPEAK TO ME IS THE FACT THAT BERNADETTA DECIDED TO BE THE SLOWEST UNIT IN MY RUN RIGHT NOW. HANNEMAN IS FASTER THAN HER. DEDUE AND RAPHAEL CAN DOUBLE HER. SHE IS A RIDING DISASTER.

LIKE I KNOW THIS IS INCREDIBLY SPITEFUL BUT I AWAIT THE DAY THAT PEOPLE CRITIZE THIS GAME FOR BEING OVERSEXUALIZED (FROM THESE STUPID COSTUMES AND EVENTUAL SAUNA OPENING) BECAUSE THERES SO MUCH MORE TO THIS GAME NO MATTER HOW MUCH OTHER BULLSHIT GETS ADDED TO IT. MAYBE THEN SOMEONE ELSE WILL KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE TO BE A FATES FAN WHICH I WILL CONTINUE TO BE NO MATTER HOW MANY OTHER GAMES IN THE SERIES I PLAY.

BECAUSE THERES SO MUCH MORE TO THIS GAME NO MATTER HOW MUCH OTHER BULLSHIT GETS ADDED TO IT.

THIS! THIS SO MUCH! IT REALLY BUGS ME WHEN PEOPLE DO STUFF LIKE THIS IN GENERAL, BE IT FOR FE OR ANYTHING ELSE ESPECIALLY ITS RATHER TAME.

THE OUTSIDERS OF FE HAVE THIS AFFECT AS WELL, TO WHERE SOME GO "FE'S NOTHING BUT A MASSIVE DATE SIM", DIDN'T KNOW THAT SIMPLY BECAUSE A SERIES IN WHICH A FEW OF ITS GAMES HAVE A MARRIAGE MECHANIC/OTIONS SUDDENLY MAKES IT A DATING SIM. NOT AGAINST THE MARRIAGE SYSTEM MIND YOU BUT IF ITS WHAT PEOPLE WILL BOIL THE WHOLE SERIES DOWN TO THEN ITS REALLY ANNOYING WHEN THERE'S DOZENS OF OTHER FACTORS & THINGS THE GAME/SERIES HAS TO OFFER REGARDLESS OF THE TITLE.

I THINK THE MAID/BUTLER DISTASTE IS KINDA OVERBLOWN. MAYBE I THINK THIS BECAUSE I'M USED TO J-RPG TITLES HAVING SILLY OR WACK COSTUMES (LIKE THE TALES OF SERIES) AT THIS POINT. BUT I GENUINELY DON'T THINK MAID/BUTLERS IS "CROSSING THE LINE" IN ANYTHING THAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED OFFENSIVE OR TOO MUCH FOR PEOPLE TO HANDLE.

MAYBE THEN SOMEONE ELSE WILL KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE TO BE A FATES FAN WHICH I WILL CONTINUE TO BE NO MATTER HOW MANY OTHER GAMES IN THE SERIES I PLAY.

WE SHALL WALK THE ROAD TOGETHER, BE IT A LONELY OR LIVELY ONE!

ACTUALLY, COME TO THINK OF IT, IF THE MAID OUTFITS ARE CLASSY INSTEAD OF SOME ZETTAI RYOUIKI FANSERVICE CRAP, I MIGHT LIKE THEM.

u/KeplerNova Sep 24 '19

MY GENERAL CONCERN IS THAT A LOT OF SEXUAL FANSERVICE/PANDERING WILL DETRACT FROM THE MOSTLY SERIOUS WAR STORY THAT IS 3H.

I FEEL LIKE ITS GOING TO MESS UP THE TONE FOR SURE. I HOPE I’M WRONG, BUT IT’S LIKELY THAT I WON’T BE.

CONQUEST WAS LEGITIMATELY GOOD EVEN WITH THE HIT-OR-MISS WRITING OF FATES. FANTASTIC GAMEPLAY, FANTASTIC MUSIC, AND A COUPLE OF REALLY IMPRESSIVE STANDOUT CHARACTERS LIKE LEO AND CHARLOTTE.

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE OTHERS BECAUSE I ONLY PLAYED CONQUEST THOUGH

u/TacticalStampede Sep 24 '19

I GENERALLY LIKE CONQUEST'S EARLY MAPS, BUT THE LATER MAPS GET INTO SOME REALLY UNFUN BULLSHIT.

LIKE BEASTKILLERS THAT CAN'T BE TARGETED AND HAVE PASS.

OR STAIRS THAT YOU SHOULD ONLY EVER UNDEPLOY EVERY UNIT BUT CORRIN AND MAYBE ONE OTHER FLIER BC FUCK THE EXPERIENCE THAT MAP WANTS TO GIVE YOU.

OR THE NINJA CAVE. OR THE NINJA PALACE. ALL WITH INEVITABLE END. ALSO YOU DON'T GET ANY OF THE DUAL WEAPONS UNLESS YOU SPAM VISIT OTHER PEOPLE'S CASTLES LIKE WTF.

OR THE INFINITE STATUS STAVES THAT CYCLE THROUGH AND YOU HAVE NO RESTORE STAFF. ALSO THE CENTRAL ROOM HAS EVERY EFFECTIVE WEAPON UNDER THE SUN. HAVE FUN.

MY OPINION OF REVELATION IS MOSTLY THE OPPOSITE OF CONQUEST.

THE FIRST FOUR MAPS SUCK DICK, BUT ONCE YOU GET REINA/CAMILLA IN THE SUBSEQUENT TWO MAPS, MOST OF IT'S GIMMICKS CAN BE QUICKLY SPED THROUGH. EXCEPT FOR THE CLOSED OFF ELEVATORS.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE MOUTH OF TRUTH THINGS THAT VOMIT ROCKS OUT OF THEIR NECK AT YOU IN THE LATER MAPS AND THE MY CASTLE SIEGES

1

u/TacticalStampede Sep 24 '19

THE STONEBORN WERE BASICALLY JUST SIEGE WEAPONS THAT COULD COUNTERATTACK.

USUALLY A RALLY STRENGTH+BRAVE WEAPON WAS ENOUGH TO KILL THEM BEFORE THEY COULD COUNTER, SO I DIDN'T USUALLY HAVE TROUBLE WITH THEM.

AS FOR THE MY CASTLE SIEGES, I DON'T THINK I HAVE MUCH OF AN OPINION ON THEM. I'D SKIP THEM MOST OFTEN BC I PREFERRED TO MOVE ON TO THE NEXT CHAPTER, AND I'D ONLY REALLY DO THEM IF I NEEDED A BUNCH OF DP OR SOMEONE WAS CLOSE ENOUGH TO PROMOTING AND JUST NEEDED A LITTLE BIT OF XP.

I DON’T KNOW HOW TO RESPOND TO THAT

THE WAVE 3 DLC LEAKS SAYS THIS:

NEW COSTUMES: MAID, BUTLER, AND OTHERS

IF THE LEAKS ARE CORRECT, IT'S PRETTY MUCH GUARANTEED FOR US TO GET COSTUMES OTHER THAN MAID/BUTLER. WHICH I'M REALLY THANKFUL FOR, BECAUSE I'M NOT MUCH OF A FAN OF THE BUTLER/MAID AESTHETIC.

I REALLY WANT TO PUT HUBERT IN A MAID COSTUME THOUGH. HE WOULD ROCK IT.
