Fire Emblem Fates guide for the Japanese 3DS version

Birthright allows you to earn experience and money outside the main story. Conquest emphasizes allocating limited forces and funds. Invisible Kingdom, the Japanese scenario corresponding to Revelation and set in Valla, is a third path in which you side with neither country; it has many terrain mechanisms and also offers flexibility in training. Check the route name together with the chapter number.

The available article covers the shared opening before the branch, through checks before choosing your path in Chapter 6. It is not a complete chapter chart combining Birthright, Conquest, and Revelation from Chapter 6 onward.

In Japan, sales of the downloadable Fates main game ended on February 28, 2023, and sales of additional content ended on March 28, 2023. This guide cannot assume you can now buy Revelation or another route you have not obtained. Redownloading purchased data is treated separately. Check which standard physical edition you have and which additional data you can actually use.

The difficulty options are Normal, Hard, and Lunatic. Phoenix, Casual, and Classic determine what happens to fallen allies. Phoenix is available only on Normal. The article is based on Normal and does not equate its layouts, reinforcements, or growth conditions with Lunatic's.

Choose between Attack Stance, where adjacent allies cooperate in attacking, and Guard Stance, where two units combine to protect the lead unit. Guard Stance prevents enemy Attack Stance follow-up attacks, but does not unconditionally negate every attack. This guide does not assume My Castle online interactions, limited distributions, or amiibo extras.
