Hect

Radiant Dawn is easily one of my favorite and still is despite some poor ideas and choices they made (seriously, people would kill for a remaster or even a port of this hard to find game and its prequel), but they did quite a bit with what they had.

But if you want to talk about story flops: Awakening was uhh...a little nonsensical near the end (I still enjoy the game for what it is...other than the big open maps and the ambush reinforcements...which they love doing). Then there's fates. Let me summarize in saying that the idea was solid, but the execution is so bad it isn't even funny.

Seriously, however wrote Fate's plot does not know how to write a good plot for a video game and should be fired/never hired again. Whoever made Conquest's gameplay though deserves a premotion. But my god, Fate's plot is just...so bad with Birthright almost getting an okay...but then the last few chapter just...bloody hell. You think Eirika is bad, you should see Corrin.

Hey. I actually intended to answer you yesterday, but I fell asleep before I could do so. Awakening was a neat game. Perhaps not as good as the older games, but still neat. Child characters were unnecessary, and yes, the story got a bit non-sensical near the end, but at least Robin wasn't a hopeless protagonist like Corrin in all three routes. (Grima floating in one place despite being able to spread destruction everywhere.)

Fates.. well, is hopeless. While one route may be less worse than another, with Conquest probably being the best, none of the plots really make all that much sense or are just plain fucking stupid. I really don't get why people try to defend the game. Visuals are nice, gameplay is quite nice and pleasant.. and the music.. the music is godlike. Almost as good as PoR/RD's OST.. well, not quite. Still, if it weren't for the story and the unnecessary fanservice, the game could've been so.. so.. so.. much better. Even the concept of the story in itself is as brilliant as it looked when the first trailers got dropped. Ah, still, not all hope is lost for this franchise. We have SOV coming up and Heroes is what it's supposed to be: A tribute and a fun little mobile game that a lot of people are enjoying. I just really hope they don't mess up the Gaiden remake, since it will be my first time taking a look at Gaiden's story. I would've played it earlier, but I really don't find it appealing in it's 8-bit style.

Anger.
