The gameplay is pretty good. There are good designs in this and I did like some of the characters. But the story completely passed through me leaving nothing behind. I don't even feel strongly enough to even say it's bad, I just feel nothing towards it.
Birthright is a lot like Awakening. If it wasn't tied to Conquest people might like it just a little more. The writing is out there and gameplay isn't really that challenging when you have played any other game in the series. The game isn't bad though. Unit customization is fun. It's just alright, it makes you appreciate Conquest's later chapters more.

It's very easy and sometimes boring, but i enjoyed it at least
ridiculous
Masterpiece. You guys are haters.
Fire emblem fates had had an interesting approach to its story and marketing: the story puts your avatar in the literal middle of a war, as you gotta decide if you wanted to ally with your former family or the people that raised you.... and to sell that the different campaigns got sold as different titles. COnsidering each camapgin felt like incomplete experiences on their own, this felt kinda scummy honestly... but at least the different campaigns tried to make something different from each other.
Of all of them, I feel Birthright accomplished its gimmicks..... the worst: it's a really easy game, designed for the new fans of the series or for people that want a "more relaxing experience"... the issue is that the developers made this experience even too relaxing... so relaxing that you will probably fall asleep while playing it.
The maps have extremely easy gimmicks, but they are also large and mostly slow to navigate around. THe possibility to grind are endless and turns your units into unbeatable beasts even on higher difficulties.... even if you stop grind the game doesn't pull a lot of challenges.
The more japanese inspired settings and units is unique for the series and lead to really cool classes and weapons, but also the game doesn't really use the whole setting the best it can (like, there are literal factions tlike the fire clan that is said to be a big ally, but you only see Rinkah as the one representative).
And the story is..... probably the most boring story ever made for a Fire Emblem game. All the characters are written pretty unidimentional, to the point where the whole conflict just feels like a sterotypical "good vs evil" story, where the only surprising things are weird design choices regarding some "twists the game puts on you wiht either zero buildup or no logic" (ex. what happens to Kaze if you don't speak to him enough times, or what Elise ends up in the story)
Overall probably the only reason I finished this one is because apparently I needed to buy it and finish it in order to get Revelation.... if it wasn't for that, I am sorry, I would have not kept up with Birthright... at least Conquest was a more enjoyable ride.

FE fans who hate fates are on crack
Birthright is like eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a rock in it. Normal, maybe a little boring, but also a little comforting. And then you get to the latter chapters of the story and ooh! there's that rock fuckin ruining the whole experience. It's unbelievably stupid and unnecessary.
Oh and the best character in the Fates trinity is Birthright exclusive. I've played through Birthright a couple of times out of spite because of this.

it was serviceable until I got to the final boss and missed two 90%s when he had 9 hp that made me have to restart the end game chapter and the chapter beforehand. Anyways Hinoka is hot
It's alright. Nothing particularly memorable about this one. I enjoyed the reclassing system and abused it to hell to create genetically modified child super soldiers. Ryoma could have solo'd the entirety of nohr if he wasn't fucking around with scarlet. The story is still ass in this version of fates 💔
Decent fire emblem, otherwise bogged down by baby system
what a slog
slightly better plot than conquest, but less fun maps and characters
The most mediocre of the Fates games. The gameplay is fine, nothing special either way, and the story is the least offensive of the three. As with each route, there's some really great characters buried in here but overall probably the most forgettable Fates entry.
YYOOUU AAREE THEEE OCCCEAAANN'SS GGRAAAYYWAAVEESS!
Such a... change after Fire Emblem Awakening. I remember dropping this after one of the characters died due to not having enough of a bond with him (if you're a fan, you know which one). The story wasn't the best and getting this arbitrary loss would cause me to replay this... mediocre story. Wasn't gonna happen.
I like it more than conquest. think that puts me in a slight minority
Dude the maps are so boring, the maps dude the maps
fates moment
It was fun, I think. I liked several of the gameplay choices though the story was kinda boring? Enough there to be entertaining.
why does this site hate birthright damn
And here's my third ever Fire Emblem game, I don't have much good to say about it. I had no investment into the story, and I did not grind levels at all. Even though I could. As much as I wanna like some characters, I just really can't. Like Hinoka for example, staler than a year old bag of chips. Otherwise only enjoyed gameplay, even if it felt repetitive.
My first real Fire Emblem game, fun!
This game isn't as bad as I thought it was, heck I had more fun with this than Awakening. Yeah the story and characters still suck. Gameplay mechanics are honestly some of the most fun in the series however. Makes me excited to get to Conquest. Sadly this game is pretty mid.
