Alright now look, I'm not a huge strategy guy, I will attempt to brute force a situation many times before I attempt it logically, that being said, I had a wild run with FE Conquest. My only real FE experience was a casual run with Awakening, and beating one route in Three Houses, so I knew this was gonna be a rough time, especially since I was doing this one on classic, and BOY, was it rough.

Story wise, I gotta admit, I barely paid attention to it after awhile, its not the most engaging premise and writing in the franchise. The character writing and supports however, were all a pretty solid read throughout my playthrough, with plenty enjoyable faces throughout the cast. On the gameplay front, I feel like once you get used to all the systems they give you, you can feel a third eye open when you actually do use every resource you have to clear a map. Only real issue is when you have to try said map 20 times before a solution finally clicks, which can wear down some enjoyment. Graphically, its an improvement from awakening, with the usual great character art you can expect from this franchise, and the music is some of the best in the series (Looking at you End of All (Land)).

Will I play this game ever again? Probably, just likely on casual in the future, but I gotta admit, I did enjoy the challenge at times. Considering this is considered the gem in the rough that is the Fates trio, I can gladly say it can be a pretty damn enjoyable time.
