It's still 3 full games. You need to buy all 3 metroid prime games and all 3 Uncharted games to Get the full story too right? |
What ? No you don't ! For Uncharted at least, I didn't play Metroid Prime so I don't know.
Each game has its own story and can be played separately, it's not "Oh, you played Uncharted 1 ? Too bad, you need to buy Uncharted 2 and 3 to know who is the bad guy and what happens to him".

Well fine, Halo 2 and 3 are needed to get the full story and that's $120 US new for significantly less content in terms of raw numbers than FE Fates. Or even better, you need Xenosaga 1, 2, and 3 for the fullish story and that's even more money. And that was only half the plan.
I think his point is still valid, raw numbers is a poor way to judge value. And the OP is misleading. Both Conquest and Birthright are equal, the new content issue only applies to the second one you purchase which is half off anyway. Taken in a vacuum, each is equal to the other. Both are equally viable starting points from contents perspectives.
splitting the content seems a bit too much for Fire Emblem, but it is optional anyway.

The whole FE characters in Smash are a little too much for the franchise...... But I would gladly take more pokemons in! XD
Pocky Lover Boy!

Pretty much this. I brought it up in another thread, but apparently no one must have played those games.
The games have individual stories, and the content of each rivals the precedent set by the most recent entry. It's honestly why I'm excited. I had to wait 6 years for one new entry after FE10...and now only three years and I get two new games instead. Definitely a win for me.

From the reviews i've heard, there seems to be a lot of differences between the games and even your goals in each battle. It seems like it will be worth the purchase of multiple games especially if you get the download for the second at half price.

I totally agree.
Honestly, I played 146 hours of FE:awakening. If I get the same out of all the content of the new games, that's fine. To me thats still a great value. I definitely could get more hours, which is fine by me.

It's a spectrum, which seems the best way to describe it. Ages and Seasons are on the spectrum of full games which, when played together, offer additional content. Pokemon is on the other end of the spectrum where it's virtually the same game, but when played together, offer some additional content (crossing pokemon over). Fates is somewhere in the middle. A decent portion of different content, some mostly the same, and in some cases much of the same, and offers additional content when all entries are played in tandem. |
If From a scale of 1-10, 1 being Pokemon and 10 for LoZ Ages+Seasons, fates is around an 8. Definitely not in the middle. FE shares first 5 chapters (which are the beginners chapters basically) and the same universe. Playing both games will easily be completely different which isnt the case for pokemon.
Most important part is the actual game layout, which birthright and conquest differ in so many ways :0

I was under the impression if you buy one you get the other at a reduced price online. Seems a far better content and pricing model compared to Pokemon x/y.
