After a week of binge playing, I finally finished Fire Emblem Conquest. I gotta say this is probably my 2nd most favorite FE in the series (the 1st being Path of Radiance in GameCube). I began playing Fire emblem with Fire Emblem Blazing Sword in GBA, and I totally love the simplistic gameplay and the medieval drama presented in the game. While FE series is a medieval fantasy series, but the story is very anime-ish, with anime tropes here and there, and the formula works.
Before playing the game I had a doubt that I would enjoy playing it since I was disappointed with Fire Emblem Awakening. The game took Fire Emblem into a weaboo path with its marriage system and different art style compared to the classic series, but at the same time it saved the series and made FE more popular than ever. Maybe I should give it a revisit at some point.
Anyway what I like from the new FE series is the introduction of casual made. Back then when playing the classic FE series, I needed to restart my game over and over again just to prevent my characters from dying. It's really ruining the fun. To this date I have played all the modern FE games except the DS shadow dragon remake, because the story seems very boring.
I finished Fire Emblem conquest about 24 hours, but I think it's actually more than that because I needed to restart my games over and over despite being in casual mode (as my tactics didn't work out and I screwed up in the next turns). The marriage system in this game is really creepy. I mean, you can make two characters marry each other and there will be a child who magically grows up to an adult thanks to a plot device, and in the next gameplay, the character can be married to your main character, or maybe in the another gameplay, can be married with the main character's, and it has no impact with the main story (maybe a good thing).
The worst part of this game is probably the DLCs, sadly, Nintendo is obviously milking this game for various features that should been a base game. I don't care most of them since you could just finish the game just fine, but some of them are quite important since money is hard to get in this game, so you will need to pay for a map that allows you to grind money.
I still have birthright and revelation to play. After I finished them, I am going to buy a switch and play the three houses. Oh the soundtrack is also fantastic.
