Development [edit]

The previous title in the series, Burn Emblem Awakening, was planned to exist the concluding in the serial due to decreasing sales. The game was a worldwide commercial success, prompting Nintendo to greenlight a new entry. Fates was co-developed by regular Fire Emblem programmer Intelligent Systems and Nintendo SPD, with the master staff of Enkindling returning to their corresponding roles for Fates: they were Intelligent Systems's Kouhei Maeda as director, Nintendo SPD director Genki Yokota, Nintendo producer Hitoshi Yamagami, art director Toshiyuki Kusakihara, and character designer Yūsuke Kozaki. Yokota's work on the game ran parallel with his work on Xenoblade Chronicles 10. Masahiro Higuchi, Awakening 'south project managing director, came on board as a producer. According to the original staff, the request for a sequel was a shock every bit they had all developed Awakening bold it would be the last in the series.^[3] ^[26] During its early design stages, Fates was given the working title "Burn Emblem 3DS II".^[27] The game's cutscenes were animated by Studio Anima, returning from Awakening, while storyboarding was handled by Spooky Graphic.^[28] ^[29] To develop the multiple versions, i core squad worked on the game's shared avails, while additional teams handled individual level design.^[xxx]

The gameplay was refined and expanded from the version they used in Awakening. The "My Castle" characteristic was suggested by Maeda equally an alternative activity for players, and to provide a means for getting to know the main characters outside battle. The amount of content included in the feature made some staff comment that it could be its own game. The social elements of My Castle were originally going to be exclusive to StreetPass, but it was suggested that players in areas with depression StreetPass action should exist able to access the functions through a normal Internet connection. Some ideas thought up by Maeda for earlier titles, such as the Dragon Vein power and the way skills were inherited past second generation characters, were also implemented. Due to the necessity for multiple versions, map designing became a larger task than anticipated, with very few maps existence shared between versions.^[three] The Phoenix Mode was included to bring new fans into the series, a philosophy that they had neglected upwards until Enkindling and improved for Fates.^[31] For the first time in the Fire Keepsake series, the option for the principal grapheme to marry a character of the same sex was included: the potential male and female partners respectively appear in Conquest and Birthright, and both appear in Revelation. According to Nintendo, this motion was done to reflect the diversity of their player base of operations.^[32]

The ii kingdoms were based upon unlike cultures: Hoshido was themed afterwards Japan, while Nohr used a Medieval European setting similar to before Burn Emblem games.^[31] The kingdoms of Hoshido and Nohr were designed to contrast each other in a multifariousness of ways, with the most obvious being its architecture: Hoshido was themed around light and air, while Nohr was themed around darkness and stone.^[33] ^[34] When development first started, the team unanimously decided to enquire Kozaki to return as character designer, as he had been for Awakening. The sheer number of characters this approach entailed made the staff worry about whether Kozaki would be willing to return.^[31] The Hoshido characters' clothing were influenced by Japanese culture and character designs drew inspiration from well-known people in Japan: a primary instance was Ryoma, whose wear was based on samurai, including historical figures such as Takeda Shingen, forth with incorporating animal motifs such every bit lions. The colors used in their clothing were varied and mainly bright to emphasize the country'south focus on calorie-free.^[33] For Nohr, a "vampire-similar gustation" equivalent to dark fantasy was used to highlight it as a kingdom where the lord's day did not shine. Kozaki used black and purple as cardinal colors in character designs to create a cold and unified image. The nobility of Nohr were given similar design elements to stand for their familial connections.^[34] The first character Kozaki designed was the Avatar. Kozaki did not put much thought into their general advent, but took care well-nigh their clothing so that information technology was not overtly styled after either Hoshido or Nohr, keeping the neutrality of the actor up to the principal story determination point. They were given bare anxiety due to the animalistic impression Kozaki had after hearing of their strong ties to dragons, along with creating a "claw" for players equivalent to other characters in the game.^[34] The master key artwork, showing the 2 families together, was described by Kozaki every bit "a pain to describe" due to their ambivalent designs, and was the point of much discussion by staff before information technology was finalized. Azura was not included in artwork for the two physical editions, simply she was more prominently presented in artwork surrounding Revelation as she played a much larger role in the story.^[35]

Scenario [edit]

During the initial planning stage, the team reviewed how fans and critics had responded to Awakening. While the gameplay and graphics were positively received, the story had been criticized for being too elementary past some long-time fans, even though new players approved of it. To that end, they decided to write a story that would appeal to serial veterans also as newcomers. The concept of the story changing depending on which protagonists the main graphic symbol sided with, originated from Yamagami's memories of the first Fire Emblem game, which immune for choosing unlike protagonists but did not modify the story. Wanting to play from both sides of a disharmonize and testify both sides as neither good nor evil, the team decided to create multiple versions of the game. Initially, the plan was but for a pick between i of the two kingdoms, but Yamagami wanted a third neutral path where neither side was called, and then a third version of the game was planned. The game's Japanese subtitle, "if", came from the sheer number of choices featured for players in the game. The English championship "Fates" referred to the concept of the chief graphic symbol shaping and changing their fate by choosing a side.^[3] Later on the creation of the three storylines, the team needed to make the determination to divide Birthright and Conquest into separate physical releases. This was because packaging them as a single release would have necessitated raising the game'southward price to the equivalent of a ii-game bundle, which would not do good people who wanted to play 1 single version. Some other reason for this decision was how easy it had become to add the other versions on as cheaper downloadable content (DLC). This opened upwards the choice for players to run through the game until the crucial decision point in Chapter half dozen, then buy the alternating routes as downloadable content so they had dissimilar choices. Each route was estimated to have the same amount of gameplay and story content as Awakening.^[viii]

As the plans for iii different versions of the game appeared, the staff realized that it was impossible to write three storylines in-business firm. After searching through known video game writers, they decided to consider writers in other fields. The writer suggested by Maeda was Shin Kibayashi, who was famous in Japan for his work on multiple manga and tv series. Kibayashi was initially approached by Kozaki through their shared editor, and was pitched the projection by the staff in December 2012. Kibayashi was going to pass up the project as he had a tight work schedule, but subsequently both he and his daughter played through a copy of Enkindling provided by staff, Kibayashi decided to take and wrote an initial draft story. Despite his initial minimal commitment of a ten-page summary for each storyline, he became fond of the characters and felt that 10 pages were not enough, and thus the full summary for Birthright extended to about 500 pages. After delivering his work, he then wrote summaries of equal length for Conquest and Revelation, driven past the demand to create a high-quality story, partially to surpass his daughter's pressuring expectations, and concluded up writing enough script to fill two books. While the Japanese titles for Birthright and Conquest were written in kanji, the third storyline's championship was written in katakana to distinguish it from the other ii.^[three] A corking deal of the character traits for the royals of Hoshido and Nohr were contributed by Kibayashi.^[thirty] After he had washed his work on the storylines, other writers took over much of the remainder of the work.^[36] The main scenario author for the Revelation storyline was Yukinori Kitajima, a writer associated with the Senran Kagura series. He and other staff from his scriptwriting company Synthese as well wrote the support conversations for Birthright and Conquest.^[37] One of the principal writers for all three story routes was Nami Komuro, who had previously worked on Awakening.^[26] ^[27]

Music [edit]

The game'due south soundtrack was created by multiple composers. Intelligent Systems's Hiroki Morishita and T's Music'due south Rei Kondoh previously worked on Awakening, while WarioWare composers Takeru Kanazaki and Yasuhisa Baba of Intelligent Systems, and Monster Hunter composer Masato Kouda of Design Wave joined the team as newcomers. Longtime series composer Yuka Tsujiyoko acted every bit a supervisor.^[38] ^[39] Morishita and Kanazaki wrote the bulk of the game's tracks. Arrangements were handled by Morishita, Kanazaki, Kondoh and Kouda. Many of Tsujiyoko'southward tracks for before Fire Emblem titles were remixed for use in Fates.^[39]

The game's theme vocal, "Lost in Thoughts All Alone",^[g] ^[40] was written past Morishita, with lyrics by Maeda, and sung by Japanese pop vocalist Renka, who also provided Azura'due south in-game singing vox.^[38] ^[39] The developers were looking for a singer who could do justice to their vision for the character, and when they heard Renka'south audition, they instantly decided that she was correct for the part. According to music personnel, several among them cried when they showtime heard her functioning.^[38] ^[41] Multiple versions were used throughout the soundtrack.^[39] Azura'due south normal phonation work is performed past Japanese vox extra Lynn. In the English version, Azura's speaking and singing voice were provided past Rena Strober.^[42] The lyrics were adapted into English by Audrey Drake.^[43]

They praised the various battle functions, relationship mechanics and easy-to-utilize interface. The "My Castle" feature, while starting out as feeling incomplete, was a satisfying experience.^[77] Martin Robinson of Eurogamer praised the game every bit a sound continuation of the mechanical improvements of Awakening: he positively noted the grey morality of the characters and story, and singled out Conquest every bit the "libation" of the ii physical versions due to its claiming and cast. His main criticism was its multi-part release, which he chosen "needlessly convoluted" and stated might alienate fans attracted to the series by Awakening. He also faulted Nintendo'due south translation work as less "characterful" than the localization of Awakening by 8-iv, along with the "impuissant" removal of the Japanese original's petting mechanic.^[76]

Chris Carter of Destructoid called Birthright 's story "relatively open and close" despite keeping complex character relationships intact, while generally citing it equally the best starting place for series newcomers.^[73] Javy Gwaltney of Game Informer called the story of Birthright "a surprisingly night tale", praised the improvements made to the gameplay over Awakening, and was overall positive despite some criticism of its poor tutorial systems. He too liked the game's music and graphics, although he critiqued the latter a little due to depression-res battle models.^[81] Meghan Sullivan of IGN called the story, music and visuals "slap-up", and greatly enjoyed the gameplay systems despite mission repetition and a slow online interface.^[85] Alexa Ray Corriea of GameSpot greatly enjoyed the changes to gameplay and its strategy despite little variation in playable maps, and enjoyed the character interactions while noting that the dialogue became overly melodramatic in places.^[78] Kimberley Keller of Nintendo World Study, reviewing all versions of the game, mostly praised the game as a whole while calling Birthright the "perfect fashion to start [Fates]" due to its traditional Fire Emblem elements.^[87] Griffin McElroy and Allegra Frank of Polygon, reviewing all versions of the game, were generally positive about the gameplay and the coaction between versions, while criticizing the overly complicated character grade arrangement. They referred to Birthright every bit a "straightforward march for vengeance, where victory almost always entails defeating an entire platoon or its leader".^[fifteen] Both Connor Sheridan of GamesRadar and Ray Carsillo of Electronic Gaming Monthly shared many points of praise with other reviewers most the general gameplay: Sheriden called Birthright a familiar experience when compared to the other titles, while Carsillo recommended information technology as a adept starting point.^[75] ^[84]

Carter institute Conquest a much tougher experience from a gameplay perspective, being geared towards dedicated tactical battles within pre-prepare limits, while finding its story more than intriguing than that of Birthright.^[73] Gwaltney called Conquest a "night fantasy ballsy" that asked difficult moral questions, and generally cited the gameplay as harder and consequently more rewarding than that of its counterparts despite sharing tutorial deficiencies with Birthright. He also shared his opinions on the music and graphics with Birthright.^[82] Jose Otero, writing for IGN, frequently noted the game's challenge, while generally sharing his praises with Sullivan's review of Birthright, including deadening online elements. A point of praise not shared with Birthright was its mission variety.^[86] Peter Brown, reviewing the game for GameSpot, praised the gameplay variety and the characters' development and meaningful utilise in boxing, while critiquing the plot for being "adequately middle of the road" and did non like the lack of optional side missions.^[79] Keller noted the harder gameplay construction of Conquest, while noting that its story had a far more comedic tone with its characters.^[87] McElroy and Frank referred to Conquest as the more than challenging of the two concrete releases, an opinion shared by Carsillo and Sheridan: the latter added that the game would not brand players feel similar a hero.^[15] ^[75] ^[84] Robinson chosen Conquest the "cooler" of the two physical releases, noting its steeper challenge and more engaging cast.^[76]

Carter considered Revelation to be a good middle ground between Birthright and Conquest, and praised its story afterwards moving beyond the conceit of its premise.^[74] Corriae was highly positive about the game: while finding the initial premise rather contrived, she greatly enjoyed the resultant drama and found the story better than that of Birthright and Conquest. She too praised the game for its gameplay and variety.^[80] Keller said the story of Revelation "keeps players on their toes", while praised the gameplay for finding a middle ground betwixt the two physical releases. She called it "a fulfilling conclusion" to Fates.^[87] While more often than not positive about the game equally a whole, Sheridan was rather disquisitional of the fact that players needed to purchase Revelation as DLC to get the whole story.^[84] Gwaltney was less favorable than he was well-nigh Birthright and Conquest: while he enjoyed the early tension of a limited party, the ability to expand and strengthen the party sapped away the tension, while he plant the story "rather wearisome and generic" after the more impactful stories of the first two versions.^[83] Sullivan of IGN greatly enjoyed the combination of characters and gameplay from Birthright and Conquest, but shared her stance of the central plot device with Corriae.^[9] Carsillo found Revelation the most satisfying due to the obscuring of key plot points in the other versions despite Birthright and Conquest offering greater graphic symbol insight, along with positively noting its gameplay balance betwixt the two physical releases.^[75]
