What? I don't remember any FE games having elt paths like Fates does, and I've played most of them...

Sacred Stones did this already. The first six and the last five maps were the same, with the rest being quite different. It should be noted here that Fates has the first six maps shared between both versions as well.

People really need to stop proclaiming this as "two different games" until we can make a proper comparison, because from what we've already heard, a big portion in both games is supposedly the same.

I don't think this is true. The first six maps are the same, and after that the two seem to depart pretty radically. One of them doesn't permit any map grinding, a la the older FE games, while the other has an overworld with locations you can visit at will, like Sacred Stones and Awakening. The characters you get are also implied to not be identical either. And of course the maps are different too.

They're not completely unique, but "big portions" being the same seems to be exaggeration.
