Your battle. Your future. Your fate.
Two kingdoms at war – the peace-loving Hoshido and the glory-seeking Nohr – It’s up to the player to decide which side to take. As the prince/princess of Hoshido, who was raised by Nohr royal family, you will be torn between two families you love. Whichever path you take, you will face different types of challenges.
Features:
- For the first time in the series, the player plays as the main character and commands his or her own army. The player character is customizable avatar, like in the Fire Emblem Awakening game. Select male or female with many options.
- During the game, the player must make the choice between Hoshido and Nohr. Each path will offer a completely different storyline with a different set of characters to recruit as allies.
- The Hoshido path is a more traditional path as you work together with your allies to fend off Nohrian invaders.
- The Nohr path will force you to revolutionize an unruly kingdom from the inside – this path offers a slightly more complex story and will be more challenging.

Story
The story centers around the player avatar character, who is a member of the Nohr royal family. After a mission goes wrong, the avatar is taken back to the Hoshido capital, where they discover that they were actually born into the Hoshido royal family. However, Nohrian invaders kill the Hoshidan queen. The player must decide which of the two kingdoms they will align with when war finally breaks out. Depending on their version of the game, if the player chooses to side with Hoshido, they must protect the peaceful lifestyle of the Hoshido kingdom while fighting off Nohr, while if the player choose to side with Nohr, they must uproot the evil from within their own kingdom. In the third campaign, Revelation, the player sides with neither kingdom and instead heads on a journey to find the true cause of the war.
Gameplay
The gameplay is mostly similar to the previous game, Fire Emblem Awakening. However, each game has its own style of gameplay: Birthright is more beginner-oriented, with more opportunities to earn gold and experience, while Conquest is the more difficult game with more limited gold and experience, with some missions having varied objectives. The Classic and Casual gameplay settings also return from Fire Emblem Awakening, as well as introducing a new "Phoenix" setting, in which units are revived on the player's next turn after they are defeated.
Each version of the game also offers its own unique classes and weapons, with Conquest having more traditional Fire Emblem weapons and classes while Birthright uses a more Japanese style. Similar to Fire Emblem Gaiden, the weapon durability mechanic has been mostly removed for this game (normal items and staves still have limited uses), with weapons instead altering the unit's stats in a manner similar to traditional RPGs. The weapon triangle has also been changed to include bows, hidden weapons, and magic, with weapons being color-coded: red weapons beat green, green beats blue, and blue beats red. The Pair Up mechanic also returns from Awakening, though it and the support system as a whole have been altered for this game: units standing next to each other will automatically attack together, while units that have been paired up will defend each other, rather than doing both. In addition, units from either royal family have access to a special "Dragon Vein" ability, allowing them to alter the terrain of the battlefield.
Fire Emblem Fates also features multiplayer, allowing two players to compete against each other in battle. Players can either play against random players or selected players online, or against other players locally like in Awakening. Another new feature is "My Castle", in which the player can create a base for their army that can be swapped over StreetPass, allowing other players to visit one's base, fight their army, and recruit characters. Finally, scanning the Fire Emblem character amiibo allows the player to fight and recruit those characters as optional units.
