'cause, huh, that has nothing to do in a mainline Fire Emblem game. If it was in a spin-off (or in SMTxFE), I wouldn't care, but this weird mini-game is like a dirt in the perfect suit that represents Fire Emblem Fates.

 

There are bigger dirts that one could remove instead, like abusive DLC (which I don't know if Fates will feature, but I'll go with what Awakening got away with) or not splitting the games into two or three (and I don't care the reasoning, because Blazing Swords featured three campaigns and it didn't sell them separatedly). But no, let's go for the harmless minigame, because THAT's where the stain lies.

You're not forced to do the minigame, you know. But I could have had a laugh or two with it.

Yeah but DLC was never gonna be removed by Nintendo for obvious reasons. I know it's optionnal but I like this change, I was already scared on how to explain the purpose of this mini-game to my little brother when he'll play it.
