I've unlocked the music that played during the E3 trailer for the game. And it's awesome.

The good stuff begins at 00:29.

I love your soundtrack, Fates. Keep impressing me.

That's also the battle theme for late game Birthright. It is indeed awesome.

[Tawa]

My Birthright game is progressing quite nicely! I've made it to Chapter 16 and somehow Oboro and Takumi are both higher-leveled than our resident EXP sponge Corrin. :v

Spoiler: Chapter 15-B spoilers, maybe (click to show/hide)

Damn it, IntSys, why did you have to use "bubbleheaded" to describe Keaton? I DON'T WANNA FEEL LIKE A TERRIBLE PERSON

Also, I translated Bloodline. Pretty big spoilers, but then again they're available from chapter 6 onward, so I'm not sure how spoilery you'd count them.

Spoiler: Bloodline (click to show/hide)

The white princes and princesses are born of Sumeragi and Ikona.

The black princes and princesses are born of Garon; the first prince with Katerina, the first princess with a concubine, the second prince with yet another, the second princess with another still.

The child of light kidnapped by the dark is not of Nohr blood nor a child of the Hoshido king. The child was born of the white queen and silent dragon.

Anankos is the true father.

Garon certainly does get around, doesn't he?

Ancients Texts written by Nostradamus Jerry Springer apparently.

Say, has anybody else noticed that End of All has a small section in it taken from Id ~ Purpose? I thought that was a nice touch.

Also, the official soundtrack for Fates has been announced. And while I'm excited about that and all, there's one track that I'm extra excited about hearing.

e5-01. Bearer of Hope (Fates version)

That is, a rearrangement of Bearer of Hope, the absolutely awesome song that plays in Radiant Dawn defense chapters. GET. HYPE.

[JoshuaFH]

I'm currently at Ch17 Birthright. I'm gonna need to do some serious FE crunching here, cause it's a race to Revelations now.

[JoshuaFH]

I just noticed that your equipped weapon renders in cutscenes, leading to this scenario:

"Don't move one inch, or I'll be forced to END you!" Corrin says as she threateningly gestures with a Daikon Radish...

It was a small moment, but that had me bawling in laughter.

Also, I noticed that you seem to get a LOT of money in Birthright. I have something like +80K right now, just from story missions. What do you want me to do with all this cash BR?!

[SOLDIER First]

[Trapezohedron]

Gee, Revelations hard seems to be one dick move after another.

Spoiler: Revelations Progression (click to show/hide)

Chapter 5 is pretty hard for a prologue stage, but that's common route.

Chapter 7 has you playing roguelike with only three people. A dragon, a Troubadour promote, and a dancer. Thank goodness said promote grants +2 damage when supporting the main character. I was MaMU so idk if the butler does the same.

Then you get Gunter. I'm not sure if the guy is good or not, but a frakking pegasus knight you get from literally one stage after 7 has more defense than Gunter if you spend some few levels grinding the guy.

Chapter 10 was I think the wind stage. Man, fuck the winds. Rinkah's abs are fake.

Chapter 12 was awesome. Well, maybe Takumi was. That 14 mt bow doe. And that tanky notAPegaFlier.

Chapter 13 was a boat stage, except frozen. You get bumrushed by foes, some of which are promotes and some of which are mages, to which I had no real counter against. Yay dead Corrin. Yay deader casual mode. Note to self, try to extract as many people with your fliers and group them asap.

Chapter 14 gives you an awesome malignant cancer. I plan to ship it with MaMU, incest be damned.

Chapter 15 has you chasing after the second enemy party... blockaded by two of your strongest bros. Oops. Not sure if you're free to kill them, but I bumrushed to kill the 2nd enemy boss. Yay malignant cancer. Yay physics staff.

At the very least, seems like Revelations is in between Conquest and Birthright in terms of difficulty. Fitting enough, given your home also has access to both teams goods.

Spoiler: E: Revelations Rant on a particular support (click to show/hide)

D-Did they just use Azura/MaMU support as a soapbox to discuss plot details...? It reads horrible and doesn't even have good pacing. Don't support them together guys, or at least, if you really want to, don't look at their cringey political discussions that may somehow end up on an S-Rank.

God, this particular writing is horrible.

[JoshuaFH]

I'd consider alot of that very spoilery, best to tag it.

I'm almost done with Birthright. Currently on Chapter 23.

Obero is such a hard carry it's unbelievable. Rename her fucking Atlas cause she's carrying everyone and everything on her back. Spearmaster OP IntSys please nerf, Jesus.

So far my only legit death is Stinky Rinky, who follows the legacy of all the axefighters before her as being overly difficult to train and yielding very little results in terms of stat gains. So when she gets critted by a normal dude out of nowhere, I just accept it as a sign from god telling me to cut her from the team, and cut she was.

[Tawa]

I married Oboro, myself. Partly because of the eugenics factor and partly because I found her somewhat charming, but holy crap does she like her double entendres.

On chapter 21. Is it just me, or does the game got weirdly easy after you promote everybody? The last real challenge I had was chapter 15.

Also, did anybody else like Iago better in Birthright than in Conquest? In Conquest he's all "hahaha I'm going to make your life hell" in the background, and the game tries to make him seem intimidating but he fails miserably because of his over-the-top behind-the-scenes sadism. But in Birthright he regularly confronts you openly and pokes fun at his obvious, stereotypical evilness by doing things like acknowledging the obligatory witty banter before fights.

I've found she's not actually too bad if you nurture her strength a little. Invest in some tonics, hand her Energy drops, maybe give her some Seraph Robes or something. She's on my A-team at the moment; I've found she gets a lot better after you promote her.

[Trapezohedron]

She has horribad growths. Painted abs even has worse growth rates for STR than Sakura herself.

Also low HP growths, in a game where capping HP is quite hard to do now. Best reclass her to a fighter asap.

[Tawa]

Well, yeah, I know that. But her Defense, Speed, and Skill are through the roof. With a little (OK, a lot) of TLC she's pretty accurate for a fighter knockoff.

(Alternatively, she makes a great Strength-giving pair-up bot.)

[Trapezohedron]

Well, I kinda agree with the second point. That +4 when damaged a wee bit is awesome. That said, I may turn FakeAbs into a waifu, so I might actually start playing RinkahEmblem soon.

[Nighthawk]

I speak from experience when I say Rinkah can be downright terrifyingly powerful.

I have her as a part of my A-team right now. She's super tanky, which is awesome, and the Death Blow ability she gets from classing up to Oni Chieftain (which gives her 20 more crit when she initiates an attack) in combination with a Great Club (which has like 50 crit by default) gives her upwards of 70(!!!) crit chance, which instakills anything easily.

I married her to Takumi, and have just used a Partner seal to reclass her to Sniper. Once she gets the Certain Blow skill (which gives 40 Hit when initiating attacks, effectively making up for the Great Club's low accuracy) her practically guaranteed crits will probably never miss. In other words, she'll be able to get guaranteed insta-kill attacks against all but the most absurdly evasive units.

Granted, it's taken a while to get her this strong. Was it worth? Oh, most definitely.
