She talks in a baby voice and says stuff like “Say goodbye to your intestines!” A lot of people say she’s the worst FE character, and I can agree. It feels like the “I’m not like other girls” but in real life, who loves murder documentaries and staying up too late, but she’s also dumb and infantile. In Fates, everyone has one single character trait and that’s it (there are some exceptions). If you like Peri, that’s good and all, but I see no merit. Oboro is one of my favorites in the entire series, and just about everyone is entertaining. Look, there are plenty of good characters in Revelation.

So, Revelation has a garbage story, some pretty awful maps, and I didn’t even mention the playable characters. Such a difficult chapter, only for the “boss” to be weak and easy to deal with. However, they’re not alone, and the chapters objective is to defeat the boss, so once you can access the room, you can weave your way through the generic enemies and make your way to the boss, killing them in one round of combat. Once you break three chains, you gain access to the room with the boss. They have Swordmasters and Master Ninja, the two dodgiest enemies in the game, and high power Spear Masters and Onmyoji just to also throw you off, not to mention Kinshi Knights and Mechanists, both bow wielding classes to threaten your fliers. But, the elevators are very finicky, and if you aren’t careful, your already smaller groups could be broken up. There are two elevators that transport your units across several rooms. In 25, you have your units split into two groups. So, it’s pretty much a guaranteed reset if you care about keeping everyone alive. If you open that door, all your units within a certain space have their HP reduced to 1, including the unit that opened the door. They give you two sets of instructions, and they’re right the first times, but eventually they tell you to open a certain door. However, Revelation has, in my opinion, the worst map design in any FE. And the whole last 10 chapters of the game take place in Valla, and about half of them could be cut out because they feel like filler or they’re just super bland. They’re all head over heels for them but as soon as they side with the other nation, everyone suddenly hates the avatar. And, everyone sucks up to the avatar, it’s prevalent in other FEs, but it’s the worst in Fates. It’s only there to give the avatar unnecessary struggles.

They shoehorn in this curse where if you talk about Valla outside of Valla, you just fade away. All three paths have bad stories, ranging from just mediocre to literal garbage. But then, you look at the bad side of Fates. The soundtrack is very good and the overall aesthetic of Valla is very pleasing, and about half of the cast is super likable. The class system in Fates is excellent, and Revelation has the most customization of the three.

The censoring of the game did bother me, but I'm not about to dock off points unfairly for such a great game. My only negative would be that by the end of the game, the maps start becoming a bit repetitive, but that's about it. It may not offer a story as epic as Conquest, but it does present us with its unique take on the story, more characterization, new villains, and some pretty impressive twists. For hardcore players, I'd say lunatic on your first run might pretty doable, more than Birthright, and definitely more than Conquest. I'd say for newcomers, hard difficulty might be a pretty viable option. I think Revelation might just be the easiest of three, for the most part, not entirely. While most reviewers agree that Revelation stands in the middle ground when it comes to difficulty, I have to disagree. This makes for some great support conversations, more customization, and it helps expand the long term value of the game by a lot. It's a 9.5 As it stands, of the three iterations, Revelation is the one that most closely resembles Awakening, as it brings together every character, weapon, item and mechanic from both versions. It's a 9.5 As it stands, of the three iterations, Revelation is the one that most closely resembles Awakening, as For me, this isn't a 10.
