My absolute favorite visual novel at the time of playing through. I actually find the characters likeable or at least interesting across the board, the story is quite well written and not too crazy like some other visual novels and I really liked the interaction between Date and Aiba. Good twists that don't seem completely pulled out of your ass, really interesting worlds to enter and great voice acting.

The story was enjoyable and switching between two separate armies was neat, but the terrible map design killed it for me and I generally wasn't a fan of the dungeon crawling sections.

One of the most replayable video games of all time, for me. I absolutely love this game on Lunatic.
"B-but the story...!"
Cool, do you want a cookie? Everyone agrees Fates has atrocious writing, shoo.
The characters are honestly pretty serviceable for FE standards as well. This game will never be properly appreciated by the masses ...
