Fire Emblem Fates: Difference between revisions

In all regions, ''Fates'' received Special Edition releases which come with multiple campaigns. The Japanese Special Edition contains both ''Birthright'' and ''Conquest'' on one cartridge, as well as a download code to get ''Revelation'' with no additional charge. The Special Edition released in the rest of the world contains all three campaigns on a single cartridge, allowing players who purchased the Special Edition at launch to experience ''Revelation'' before its official release.

The story features two opposing kingdoms, the black kingdom of Nohr, and the white kingdom of Hoshido. [[Corrin]] is allegedly a blood descendant of the Hoshido family, however, Corrin was kidnapped by [[Garon]] and placed into the care of the Nohr royal family. The major choices in the game revolve around who Corrin wishes to align with throughout the story.
