Finished up Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest last night. While it doesn't dethrone Radiant Dawn as my current personal favorite Fire Emblem game, it was an excellent game. I also found it was the most difficult on Normal out of all the FE games I've played. I felt the story was a little lacking though, which seems to me like it's the result of making three paths instead of one that's longer and better. Perhaps after I play the other two arcs, I'll get the full picture and my opinion may change. If I didn't have the Special Edition with all three storylines it really would've felt like an incomplete game. Yes, there is plenty of content in each version (including resets, it took me a little under 60 hours to finish Conquest), but it almost felt like it wasn't quite as satisfying as it could've been. Some features also felt like they were just thrown in at the last minute just because they were popular in Awakening. In particular, the way the game explains why you can recruit the children of the units in your army seemed really silly to me. I won't spoil anything, but I will say that it was handled much better in Awakening, as it was incorporated better into the game's story.
Even with the minor complaints, it was still well worth the money and an easy recommendation to anyone who enjoyed Awakening.
