The series' iconic weapon triangle has seen expansion in Fates from previous iterations, with most weapon types now occupying a space on the triangle. Unlike the other two campaigns, Revelation is not sold as its own retail game but instead as DLC for either version. The game recommends the player play the DLC neutral path last in order to provide the best narrative experience, as many story elements can only be experienced in either Birthright or Conquest. Fire Emblem Fates: Revelation follows the story where the protagonist does not choose a side.From a gameplay perspective, it focuses on map-specific gimmicks.Because its level design is more complex and provides no opportunities for the player to grind up their units' levels outside of story maps, its gameplay resembles older Fire Emblem games and caters more to series veterans. Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest has the protagonist sides with the Kingdom of Nohr.Its campaign design is reminiscent of that from Fire Emblem Awakening, and its intended audience consists of series newcomers. Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright follows the story where the protagonist sides with the Kingdom of Hoshido.The Western release of the special edition contained all 3 versions on the cartridge, allowing people who purchased it the opportunity to play Revelation three weeks before it was available on the 3DS eShop. Alternatively a special edition of the game was released in Japan containing both Birthright and Conquest on a single cartridge along with a download code for Revelation. A player who owns one version can get the other they didn't purchase as DLC for a reduced price alongside the third campaign, Revelation, which was later released exclusively as DLC. The two primary versions Fire Emblem Fates are Birthright and Conquest which were sold separately at retail, reminiscent of how Nintendo released The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages/ Seasons. Fire Emblem Fates also marks the first time the game's protagonist (named Corrin by default) is the player-created character, who had previously only played a supporting role in past entries. The title is the first game in the series to be released in multiple versions with each edition having different storylines, units, and maps after the initial shared prologue. Fire Emblem Fates (Fire Emblem if in Japan) is the fourteenth mainline entry in Nintendo's long running strategy RPG franchise which was developed by Intelligent Systems and released for the Nintendo 3DS in Japan on June 25, 2015, with a 2016 release in western territories.
