Top 10 Favorite Fates Chapters 

Corrin: “I’m So Sorry I failed you, Rainbow Sage.” Me: “Dude WTF. You knew the guy for 5 minutes. Why the hell are you crying.🤣”

Definitely 100% agree on number 1. This is the chapter that made me see how difficult and the true highlight of conquest. I had the best feeling in the world when I passed it with no ally deaths the very first time on my first playthrough of fates as I played conquest first and on hard/classic. lol the battle ended with it literally having all of my units corned on the green space.

In chapter 9 of Conquest, pair up Felicia and Niles + a res tonic for felicia and you can rush the left side evading the fighters and unpairing to avoid being frozen. Pair up Elise with a mounted Corrin to be in freeze range of the second soldier. Your basically done maybe even on Lunatic of your lucky.

“True flier waifu of Birthright” YES!!! SCARLET GETS SOME LOVE!!!

Chapter 10 was definitely my favorite because of the difficulty and challenge, but the atmosphere of Chapter 17: Black Flames in Revelations is godlike. On the first turn, I heard the music and thought nothing of it. But then, when Leo, Xander, and their retainers came in on turn 2, and the music kicked up to "A Dark Fall" I got goosebumps, and chills. The dark atmosphere of the map, the thunder, the aspect of it being one last showdown between you and Lago. It was amazing to me. It wasn't exactly challenging, but it sure as hell was cinematic and satisfying.

Chapter 10 was wicked easy for me cause I used one of the abilities that comes with the Special Edition (that one with all three on a single cartridge) on Elise, and she was a glass cannon. She mopped all the enemies.

Chapter 10 was number 1? What a shocker. 0_0

Hay if Sakura is old enough for romantic support conversations she’s old enough to fight in the war.

Chapter 10 was difficult ON HARD MODE, Lunatic was a horribly difficult nightmare that couldn't even COMPARE in difficulty with any other maps in Fates

In Takumi's *defense* she wanted it toooo..... ehem I'll be leaving now.

Oh my god... Chapter 10... classic lunatic version of conquest... one enemie left... last turn... 3% crit... wasn't able to kill me without it... but he gets it... and I failed another time.

i ALWAYS pair up arthur and camilla in every playthrough of fates and camilla becomes even MORE of a powerhouse when paired up with arthur in chapter 10. like, she's literally able to hold down an ENTIRE SIDE of the map while i can focus everyone in the center and other side (lunatic classic)

Ah, this video makes me want to go back and replay FE:fates... Then I remembered I've already poured 860+ hrs into this game...

Now that, that was uncalled for I’m not stupid I’m just not that smart okay

I was a noob when i started playing Fe birthright. so i played the game on hard and completed the game without refining the characters.

Chapter 10... also the chapter I am forever stuck on in Conquest

I loved chapter 10 of conquest except the I don't know 20 , 30 times I lost

Oof, I still have trouble with chapter 10

Am I the only person that liked chapter 24 conquest, like seriously anyone else?

10.You know what is worse than Hardmode Reinforcements? Playing this on Lunartic and Having Camilla spam Dragon veins while you have to face even Reinforcements, also just as a last kick in the teeth, there are Ambush spawns when you Approach Camilla. Despite my distaste for this map, it isn't terrible and there was a good idea here, but the execution was pretty bad. 9.Yeah i like this map, i heard people calling it to hard but it sets you up nicely for the key mechanics in Conquest and you did a nice job explaining why you like this map, which is most of why i like this map, and i like the music. 8.Its...alright, the gimmick can be skipped over easly but id rather have that than it being forced down my throath. I like how the map wants you to split your army but i feel like it would be a lot better if the enemies on the map would try to move towards each other, and because you are blocking their way, they would have to attack your army aswell. To bad there are no Neutral enemies **Cough Cough**FireEmblemHackBloodlinesTakeNotesIS**CoughCough** but its nice and somewhat hard if you are not prepared. 8? (I think it is supposed to be 7 tho) You either LTC this map, or you try to Choke this map, better get those chests if you want them or you get FE14 Camus one shotting you. Its a good map if you try to LTC it, god forbid if you try to turtel this map because you want to take out Xander and or get the EXP. Good, but don't try to Turtel, its not worth it, just grind if you want the exp. 6. One of the easier maps in conquest but i like it since its a break after the stressfull Chapter 10 so i will take it. I like the gimmicks of having to use specific units to beat the chambers, but Azama can fuck off with his Hexing rod honestly. 5. This map is rather meh in its design as its more just a Corrin grindfest if anything BUT the map does a really good job at setting the tone of Valla with the blue faded light in the darkcave, the music and a sense of dread for each time you enter a new room, not knowing what is inside that room (more for the first time since you know what to expect the next time and Corrin actually takes care of all of the enemies in the map with ease). Now if only Revelations was actually good, then this map would have been a great introduction. I do like how they handeled the "Fog of war" ish mechanic, but just like most fates gimmicks, its never used afterwards, which is a shame because this could have made for some very interesting maps. 4. This bad puns made me shiver. Good map, the gimmick forces you to take action if you don't want to get overwhelmed by enemies and want the gold (and you WANT the gold) which i really like, the map is well paced, the dragon vein can be either used or skipped if you need it, and it still remains the good music (i like this song if you didn't notice at this point). 3. NO MERCY! After Fuga's no funzone, Furry genocide and the not-so Enternal stairway Faceless hell, this is a really fun map. Splitting up your army isn't that good of an idea tho which is my main complaint, but the enemy placement is good, the map makes it feel you are the attacking force trying to take over the defending fort and the mapdesign is solid. 2. Pineapple fort defence! yaaaaay! Oh no the rally man!Aaaaaa! Wait i can capture them with Niles! Hooray! You get your Rallyman and because of that its already a good map, but this map feels similair to the Sakura map and i would repeat myself because of that, but its not a bad thing, i like this map. 1. Chapter10! best map! hands down! Not a route map, makes you split your army, makes you use every unit to contribute something, is intense and it challenging so don't let your guard down. Favorite map in Conquest despite being stuck on it, but i can see why people don't like it.

I- I liked the snow map

Have you thought about doing top 10 Fates Retainers?

But, Takumi can reclass to Spear Fighter without needing To marry Oboro...

Revelation chapter 7 was the only fog/darkness chapter in all of FE that wasn't bullshit

"Sees samurai Odin" aaah, I see you're a man of culture As well

Yeah, I agree with you. Chapter 10 was an amazing chapter.

I'm Hispanic and I found that part funny

Sure, you say that Chapter 10 is the best one, but we all know, deep down, that Battle Before Dawn was the best Fates map.

Man I haven't played Fates in so long this is kind of nostalgic. I remember playing it for the first time in the bathroom of my brother's friend's house the night the game came out lol

I love sakura ... but I had azura kill her ...

You horrible person , fighting Sakura

This video was enjoyable. There aren't a ton of FE YTers who really like Fates.

It's funny how fates has awesome gameplay(except most of revelation) but horrible story.

How about which retainer in Fates is the worst, objectively and in personality? Like, who in Fates is a retainer, but is not fun or is annoying, and sucks in the gameplay department.

My favorite of the three is Revelation. My second was Birthright, while that leaves Conquest for last, yeah they're so close that I could practically say Conquest is my favorite.

Blazingknight in up next. Here in 2019.

Man... Rewatching your videos reminds me of just how good your content is, Omni. I'm super late, but if you see this, please keep up the good work!

I needed the spirit dust too it's okay I understand. Also, have you played Birthright rebirth? It overhauls Birthright's campaign to play like Conquest Lunatic (While still getting the same gold and exp opportunities of birthright). It's even harder than Conquest Lunatic IMO (but it's also much less gimmicky and promotes fast and aggressive gameplay) and is easily my favorite iteration of fates. Plus, it makes it so every unit is usable and fun to play (For example, I'm running PALADIN SAKURA on my current run). Not even RYOMA can solo the game.

prrrresident obaro, salena miku, boobasaurus reks. get the names right lol

Unpopular opinion: I loved Hinokas chapter in Conquest. Hear me out the map design was absolutely GORGEOUS and even though the Pegasus knights were hard to beat I liked that edge of difficulty. The dragon vein Hinoka uses was tedious but you can do the same on the map. Also fighting Setsuna and Asama was fun 😂

I SO despise Conquest... I'd much prefer Birthright over Conquest. But I'd say I like Revelation best, cause I don't like anyone getting killed. I love when Hoshido and Nohr can actually get along with each other. It's a wonderful ending

when I played chapter 10, I died most of the time, but a bit more experienced, I combinate selena with corrin, she kills archer units one rounded, which is crucial to help Camilla and Beruka against the only threat in this map. also odin with nosferatu against oni barbarians with throwing cubes works as well

so glad you have cold reception on the list! I love that map. I dont know why, its just... really good, man.

Holy fuck. Someone else that likes CQ Ch 7. I feel some kind of kinship between you and I methinks.

So If the Conquest maps are good. Does that mean that the credits goes to the Hoshidan for making it fun?

I like revelation's endgame

As much crap as fates gets, conquest’s gameplay is honestly some of the best in the series

Wait, you're hispanic? ESO ES GENIAL!

What games did he show before rainbow sage

You should do a randomized version of Fates

I personally do not like Chapter 10, because I'm a fucking casual. And by that I mean, that I've never played any FE game on hardmode. I just don't want to deal with actually having to think. Although I did not have any real problems while playing FE 7 and 9. And RD was annoying at points, only because the chapters are so damn long. But I still love Takumi.

I'd say Dark Reunion is narrowly my favorite over Unhappy Reunion. They both have water that can become passable terrain to turn the map into a total scramble, they both have optional items as incentives, and they are both the hardest maps in their respective games up to that point. That being said, Takumi using the Dragon Vein didn't fill me with fear like the impending Xander did. Of course that could easily just be because I played Birthright first.

20:12 The port town of DIO

Chapter 10 was so hard for me that I almost abandonned (key word: almost... but I still like it since you get Camilla, one of my fav characters in Fates, and Selena, who I also love a lot.

Ch13 of rev for me was unit ferrying everyone across the center to dodge both ryoma and xander. Finished the chapter in under 5 turns

Conquest looks fun

That Conquest Ch.10 level had me pulling my hair out on how hard it was...

I really wanted to like this game(s) but in my opinion Fire emblem fates is the worst FF game(s) not counting the shadow dragon remake (going to get tons of hate mail now)

I was always partial to the little brain tease that was chapter 15 gameplay wise. It was gear turning keeping both the real units and the replicants alive. Though your #1 is universal I imagine

I'm a hundred percent with you, Omega. Chapter 10 is the best of FE history

Play chapter 10 on lunatic classic and then we can negotiate it being up there, it beat me too bad ... too bad!

I beat Xander in cerkensia I had to do pair up with Kaze and I was a dark mage and I kept getting my shield to kill him

In dark reunion I always just sacrificed hinoka because I never use her and I used the dragon vein and ran for the exit

I have PTSD hearing chapter 10. Gods, please no.

Lets be honest, the best thing about Trump as president is the memes lol.

There's something about Fates which makes me like it and hate it at the same time.

Am I the only one that likes the snow map?

Unpopular opinion but chapter 11 is my second least favourite chapter and (i am ready for backlash) chapter 10 is my favourite. No one can forgive end game though.

When Omni doesn't know that the village is not automatically lost

Reina: I caught those subliminals you not slick

Does someone know where he found the thumbnail?

I WAS LITERALLY PLAYING BRAVELY SECOND AS I SAW THIS VID

Great list! And yay! Dark reunion love!

I haven't played Valla, but now I'm seriously considering getting it because it sounds interesting

ah, Chapter 10, the anti-Phoenix map.

Now I want to replay again all Fates.

Number 2, though. xD

as a puerto rican it was funny and racist lol

Chapter 10 is probably favorite chapter in fates as well. The map is difficult, but not as complete bullshit as other difficult chapters in conquest (Chapter 17 anyone?). The game gives you some of my favorite units to use as well. The map lets you think you can breathe, and then Takumi activates his dragon vein, and ho boy its bad to sweating, but the game has given you the resources to work with. Definitely one of the greats in map design.

Damn that's a good list

Not bad actually. Some improvements can be made. For one thing, maybe don't talk too fast since otherwise we have trouble keeping up with you, and I am not just referring when you are doing it on purpose to explain yourself or talking as someone else. Hmm... how about a video where you talk about possibly more legendary weapons that should have gotten into Fates. Fates had 5 Legendary Weapons, three of which are swords. But the issue really is how when you look at the Weapon Triangle, you realize that the ONLY Legendary Weapon that is ever truly unique is in fact the Fujin Yumi, as it is the only weapon that is not red, but green, though at the same time, its weak against the other legendary weapons because of such. So what legendary would you make or change. And even add how you would have made it so that the legendary weapon is earned, not handed on a silver platter.

This was cool. Now can you do your 10 most hated. Like Hinoka The Eternal Stairway, Fort Dragonfall or, that ice map that we all wish we could forget?

I wish Fates just made Revolations the whole game

First

Edit: there is so many good concept, idea and map designs in fates must have been hard to choose only 10 Hmm about this top 10: -3 and 2 are truly great map because they manage to be both satisfying strategically and tactically, meaning you can actually plan in advance and still be able to react to reinforcement, unlike many other ass-pull that turn any strategy planned beforehand useless and force you to react rather than planning to bullshit reinforcement or hazardous rng (*cough* winds of change *cough*), furthermore it really fit in the narrative with a sense of progression (for once unlike bitter intrigue/pleasure palace for example). Yet the end of takumi chapter foreshadow the sign of the future final narrative trainwreck with Takumi edgy jump. well there is also the fact that in sakura chapter, everybody is magically spared because of corrin/mary sue or the fact that there is no incentive to spare sakura but it is more the plot than the map itself. -I might be bias toward the n°1 since at the time, i was eager to discover and play with Camilla (she was my favorite design in the game... if only i knew that her character would be that much one-dimensionally about sexualization fan-sservice).The good points were the various means of defending yourself (wall, balista,narrow bridge, etc)+the classic risky reward (those two house)+ the variety of ennemy and the way they can attack you. However one crucial bad-point... You remember that i wrote about ass-pulls, this dragon-vein is one of them as it is near impossible to do this map blindly in an iron-man style (or you need to play it like a turtle or sacrifice someone), as much as i like the change and the feels of being submerged under this sudden ennemy wave, there is just nothing to foreshadow it (it is as stupid as some thracia or FE9 unfair mechanic), they could have done it right by giving you some to reposition or some foreshadowing but they prefer to made it a one time surprise-punishement. It is basically Black knight port map, it will surprise you so much you will remember it (except BK map served the narrative by showing you how much powerful and threatening is BK, and how cruel and punishing is the war toward us while chapter 10 just higlight the fact that takumi will be a pain in the ass in conquest), still Chapter 10 is still better in term of mechanics. -N°9 dragon decree: very simple and satisfying map, plot, narrative, mechanic everything is done right but it has the same default as map like this, it is too simple and the 4th floor valni is infinetely superior in what dragon decree try to achieve, also i feel like eternal stairway is more innovative in executing the swarming monster and choke point map (though it is an escape). -N°10 main default would be the classic ass-pull for iron-man blind with unfair punishement, other than that really good choice -N°8 dark reunion is way too binary, you can easily cheese the map, the only incentive for not doing so: a measly draco-shield and unfair punishement. It is either cheese or suffer with no reason to search the suffering (fortunately i like to suffer, so i kind digged it when i clutched xander right before Garon clinched my ass) -N°6 is way to slow, the only difficulty being is pacing where you have to make back and forth, (or if you are doing on normal/easy, clutch with pair-ups), and wait for a pair-unit to clear a room then wait for the other one to clear the next etc). It is still a good concept, the path is just way too linear and long. -N°5 is a terrible fog of war map but a good ambush map, i guess. The point of fog of war is to stay alert and rely on torch and other to be quick on your feet while forcing you to adapt yourself, and btw the argument with bullshit FoW shown can be used for any assed-pulled dragon-vein, surprise BS. I don't need a FoW to be a minesweeper with this slowpacing, i dig the idea, it is just not a FoW (i understand that FoW are really cruel but that the point though) -N°4 Really good map, ennemy reinforcement brings a lot of exp, wait... 10k gold ? since when?? and here is the main default, the same default that Thracia player complain with the escape map, there is no way too guess that you will get 10 k, the only thing you know is that you need exp, you are in a poor village hellbent on killing you, your misson is submit them. That is all. They could have given us a "if we spare them, we will have a reward" hint but no. I feel like fates gameplay is like his narrative, ambitious and innovative yet at the same time all-over the place, they don't flow well with the narrative making the strange succession of map design a bit hazardous, while some FE game managed to make those succession good (like FE9 where each map has a logic objective not forced down by a contrived plot), it feels like fates map are forced down the plot throat, damaging it even more and making clever objective and design unjustified. Bitter intrigue is a good idea, yet the reason we have to do it make it a chore even before the start (same with many maps), they could have done a succession of conquest and defend map to fit in the story, yet they prefer gimmick completely irrelevant to the story. The good maps design were wasted on a such messy narrative. Why the hell does finding a cure is as difficult as taking hoshido castle? Why are the maps not scaled on the narrative? Why does conquest push me to kill every ennemy for exp just for my avatar to go after like "we should spare everybody"? why? why? Why?!

TBH Revelations is honestly my favorite of the Fates pathways. Strong story, gameplay feeling like it took the best parts of Birthright and Conquest and put them into one, some of the best level design I've seen in a Fire Emblem game, and just feeling like the greatest conclusion the Fates saga could ask for.

As a Trump supporter, I thank you for making a Trump joke that’s actually funny.10/10
