I got into the series thanks to a friend and have only beat Awakening and not working on Fire Emblem Fates: Blood lines.

Do own the other two versions, all three are digital and plan on doing the other one and revelations.

So any of you play Fire Emblem also?

Chris we simply must have a wifi battle in Fates when you get a chance. I noticed that Fates and Awakening are moving toward something similar to the breeding system in Pokémon- passing skills and stat boosts down from parents matters a lot.

Yes they do though Fates added the ablity to get a second my unit by adding friends with fates, also you can buy skills after you defeat anouther castle, and yes we should. Though I'm currently in chapter 23 in Bloodright, 8 in conquest and 6 in revelations.

A reason to do castle battles and visit each other castles.

Alright finished the Birthright run and ended up losing Kaze

 because I only B ranked him, needs to be A ranked so he doesn't die

I played Fire Emblem 7, Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones, Fire Emblem: Awakening, Fire Emblem Fates Birthright, and Fire Emblem Fates Conquest. I played Fire Emblem 7 and Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones, and did not beat either one. I liked them, but I wish the support conversation system was much more accessible like the support system in Awakening and Fates. Fire Emblem: Awakening and Fire Emblem: Fates Birthright are the only Fire Emblem games that I completed. I am actually playing through Conquest now, and I am stuck on Chapter 17. In the last year, I have invest over 300 hours of my life playing Fire Emblem and I do not regret a single moment of it.
