Why I'm not buying "Fire Emblem Fates"

We are hyped because its not one game chopped in 3, its actually 3 full length fire emblem games.

If you buy just one, you should still have a complete fire emblem experience. The other options are "what if" scenarios.
Of course, i don't really like that the choice is made in the act of buying. It would be awesome if the two main choices were in just one game.

They're not 3 full length Fire Emblem games when it comes to new content. If I replay Awakening over and over again, each playthrough will have the same amount of content, but not new content.
Getting only 1 new character (which is what happens when you play the third version) doesn't constitute as a new FE game to me. When I first played Awakening, I got 49 new characters, and 50 new maps/stages, along with a brand new story.

Also, while the second or third games can be decribed as "what if" scenarios, make no mistake, they add crucial new pieces a single constant puzzle. Mainly the third one. You have to play the third version to find out the true story. Not a "what if" story, but one that was always present in the previous two versions as well, but hidden.

If you've played Zero Escape: Virtues Last Reward, or it's prequel 999, you'll understand what I mean.
If you just end the game after one playthrough, you'll never know who the real killer is, etc.

This reply comes late because another thread was already made, but i didn't say new content, nor it needs to be. This is just like Shining force 3 maybe not even as bad. That game was awesome, so i don't see why this one can't be. SF3 was also sold in 3 parts.
