Fire Emblem Fates

Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright, Conquest, & Revelation are the 15th game (13th excluding remakes) in the Fire Emblem series of strategy games. It is significantly different from Awakening in that choices matter more and the world is different from previous games' worlds.There are 3 paths in the gameIt was released in June 2015 in Japan. It will be released in North America in 2016.

Gameplay
The game is designed in a way where the player chooses his storyline at Chapter 6 and it changes the way the game plays past that point. Aligning with Hoshido is an easier venture with battle inbetween main story chapters. The other option is the Nohr which is a harder then playing as the Hoshido. A third path called Revelations is also available after being purchased and is between the two in difficulty

A new mode called Phoenix mode that is simpler than Casual. Teammates respawn after the turn finishes. Players can switch from Classic to Casual and then to Phoenix at any time but, they cannot revert in that playthrough.

In terms of mechanics, the game has altered many features from Awakening. The Pair-Up and Dual Attack mechanic has been revamped into a new mechanic called Attack Stance and Guard Stance. First of all, enemies can do them as well. Attack Stance has your partner do an addition attack if standing next to each other while Guard Stance happens if paired up so the main unit gains boosted stats and the chance to protect against an attack completely. Once the shield gauge is filled at 10, the next attack is blocked and the gauge resets. Dual attacks from enemies in attack stance will be blocked.

The weapon triangle has also be altered so that all weapons are weak to one set and strong against another. It goes like so:

Swords and Magic > Axe and Bow > Lance and Hidden Weapons > Sword and Magic

Weapons except for staves and similar no longer have limited uses. In exchange, prices for them have gone up and they have various stat changes to be used over the other.

Plot
The main plot is a war between nations, the Western-base Nohr empire with designs hailing from Rome and Spain, and the Eastern-based Hoshido nation, based on Japan. The player was born with the Hoshido but, was taken with Nohr. The player can choose to align with either one but, the player can never turn back. The Hoshido is more newcomer-friendly with a typical story whereas the Nohr is darker and more complex, with the player needing to revolutionize the nation from the inside.
