For those who are questioning their stance on Fire Emblem Fates, Derrick from GameXplain, who's also a fan of the franchise, has done a two part Q&A for the upcoming game(s) since he has a copy of the special edition.

Now granted, some of the questions and answers get repeated and he's not really far into the game (28 chapters for EACH version, which is pretty long). Overall, I think it's nice to clear some of the air surrounding Fates, especially about that "petting" section that got some people going crazy at..

what do you think?

I would watch it, but for the sake of making sure I go in as spoiler free as possible, I won't. I just hope he will be able to clear up the quagmire of a mess the whole "shinship/petting" and stuff has caused.

For the most part he remained spoiler-free. Forgot to mention that.

I'm afraid of this game. Conquest might be my favorite 3ds game of all time. I don't want KIU losing the top spot! Lol

I know these Q and As are spoiler free (for the most part) but I'll probably skip out on these :p

I watched them both myself, and it was good to hear about them. They were able to confirm that petting is still in the game, but just reserved for your married partner. So it's not a total loss for people hoping for that feature. The way it's set up makes sense to me. Either way, still excited for this game. Next Friday can't come soon enough...!

I do like how he mentioned how long the each Version is. Like you said it has 28 Chapters for each one! and apparently that doesn't include all the side/extra missions and the maps for your children (I think the first 6 is all the same for all 3 version) and He did say that 1 version could take about 30 hours! <---- But that also depends on the difficulty you start with and how long you will spend on My castle........ ( which im assuming A LOT XD )

And this game has a lot of replay-ability! Especially how you can only TAP your Waifu/husband. Soooooo im guessing you have to start all over again if you want to tap the other characters? Im guessing theres no Divorce option? (And this is where Phoenix mode comes in! XD )

And he also said that its not just the story that s different in all 3 of them, there certain exclusive classes on one version and different gameplay Like:
- Birthright feels the same as Awakening.
- Conquest doesn't allow you to grind, which makes chapters/maps have More enemies = Longer to finish.
- While the difficulty of Revelations is between them, but apparently it requires more "Activating" stuff in the map...... (Not quite sure what that means yet, but im guessing it requires specific characters to to a specific point)

Basically this is a HUGE GAME!!!! It will most likely keep us busy until the Next FE game (which will probably be on the NX) Soooo to those who are complaining about the price...... I think its suits for the amount of content each version has. And besides, its not like Nintendo wants you to buy all 3 in 1 day! You can separate it by buying one next year.

Aaaan theres also this! 

I dont know when the last time I have used the 3DS mic.......................... 

My body is ready soon.

Also REALLY GLAD THAT WHEN ENEMIES REINFORCEMENTS SPAWN THEY DON'T IMMEDIATELY ATTACK, that screwed me over SOOO many times on Lunatic mode.

Oh! They changed that?
