This post is very late.  I finished Fire Emblem Conquest roughly a week ago.  But I will say with pride that I completed it.  Birthright as I stated in an earlier post, did not feel challenging to me.  The few deaths I dealt with (before making a hard reset as any Fire Emblem Veteran will) were a result of really stupid plays or obnoxious 1 percent critical hits.

 

But Conquest was truly a challenge. A game that tested my patience and put my real time strategy skills to the test.  From a story perspective, this makes sense as the game keeps sending you on suicide missions.  While the plot is still weaker than I wanted from a Fire Emblem, it is light years ahead of Birthright which was the standard good versus evil plot that I am very tired of seeing.

 

As I struggled through the game, I depended on a few characters who really are the heroes of this game.  Niles, Xander, Corrin, Elise, Leo, Effie and Camilla are full on Heroes in this mode and I feel like I would not have been able to win without using these characters.  They are the true champions of the route.  I just directed their fight.

 

Now that I have completed Conquest, I have actively been making my way through Revelations.  Expect a blog post to follow soon.  Although I may be writing the starting and completing posts on the third route back to back as I have discovered already that while Revelations is harder than Birthright, it is easier than Conquest.
