Writing Athena Plays Fire Emblem: Binding Blade - Next Playthrough Starting Soon!

I think, if you want to get the full effect of the story, play Birthright first, then Conquest, then Revelation. Just my opinion.
 
That said, I think you all can look forward to my next playthrough sometime this summer where I will be hosting another PMU of Fire Emblem Fates! Like my Awakening playthrough that started this whole series, readers will not only get to pick my characters, but they will be able to pair them up to make children, and also decide on reclassing, promotions, and many other choices that will be held throughout the game.

On top of that, you guys will also be able to choose which version of the game I do: Birthright or Conquest. Will we be siding with Nohr and the family that raised us? Or will we go to Hoshido to join up with our birth family?

Fire Emblem Fates has been out for about a month now. Unfortunately, I haven't had nearly as much time to play as I'd like since I've been busy on vacation and studying for my Dutch exams, but I've completed a Normal/Classic Conquest run, I'm almost done with my Hard/Classic Birthright run, and then I'll jump into a Hard/Classic Revelation run right after. It'll still be a little bit before I'll be ready to start, but it's not too late to start planning, especially since I'll need input before I can even make the thread! :p

So, consider this the formal question time:

Which Fire Emblem Playthrough should I do next? Conquest or Birthright?

Feel free to post here, leave me a profile message, poke me on Skype, whatever. Whichever game gets the most votes will be the winner! :D
 
Personally I think it'd be neat to see Birthright first and then Conquest, partially because that's the canonical order which Nintendo wants us to play, and partially because if people want to see both games but don't have the money for it, @Keeper of Night is currently doing a playthrough of Conquest on his YouTube channel. :D
 
Yup I totally agree with Celever. However I might have to read it a while later because I'm still playing Fire Emblem Fates myself. And I really like to take my time..... Or maybe I'm just slow oh well. I'm playing on hard and only one unit died so far yay.
 
Kind of shocked I'm the only Conquest supporter here, but if Birthright wins I call dibs on Selkie.
But... but Selkie is my favourite character!! :<

Honestly besides that Kaden is my favourite, so, and not necessarily for the purpose of being your Dad, dibs on Kaden! :D
 
If we do Birthright, I think bbninjas should be Kaze and that Vom should be Saizou. I call dibs on Asugi in this situation.
 
I'll continue to leave the vote open for a while, but unless we suddenly get an influx of Nohr fans, it looks like Birthright will be the winner.

Will still be some time before I start (I'm at C24 in BR right now, though I'm working on recruiting the kids rather than working on the plot, and I still have Rev to go through as well), but I hope you all are looking forward to it! There will be a lot more choices available this time around, many more than even in the Awakening playthrough.
 
The people have spoken and it looks like we will be playing Birthright for our next game!

I actually just beat Birthright for the first time over the weekend and started in on Revelation. I've also started working on the OP for the playthrough thread, so hopefully I can have that posted up before the weekend. I won't be starting until I'm done with Rev, but there will be a lot to vote on before the playthrough can begin, so I figured I'd start it up a bit earlier. Stay tuned!
