Wish the developers didn't do this, but well. I hope this doesn't lead to bad sales, because I can't picture a lot of people purchasing everything (will VGC track each version separatedly?).

 

Like Outlawaron said, Blazing Sword offered three different campaigns included in the same game. They didn't sell them separatedly on different versions.

o: But Lyn's was basically a tutorial with lasted 10 chapters until joining Eliwood, and Hector's is mostly the same campaign, but with Hector as the lead and a couple extra missions and 2 extra characters. That doesn't quite seem the same as Fates in terms of different campaigns.

Honestly, I'm sure a similar summarization will be just as easy. We do know that the two versions are not completely separate as they share characters. I saw a prompt yesterday that appeared if you chose a decision only possible in the other version. It asked you to go to eShop to buy the other version. Considering other JRPGs who have different parallel storylines (having just played through Suikoden 3 which is a 80+ hour game with 3 storylines), this is the way to extract the most money, so I guess I can't blame Nintendo.
