So who here has gotten either Conquest or Birthright?
I got Birthright and Conquest but starting with Birthright. I'm loving it so far although Hard Classic I found to be a bit too hard for me after struggling on this one chapter (I reset everytime I lose a unit as I'm doing classic mode. I can't let any of my precious little nuggets perish. I simply won't allow it)
I really love the castle customization bit and the fun bonding experience. It's a lot more in depth than FE: Awakening was complete with possible gay/lesbian relationship (although that's only with one character)
Favorite characters so far would have to be Kana (KANA BEAN! My precious little dragon child), Kaden (Kitsune's for the win!) and Elise (I'll have to play Conquest to enjoy her more. She is adorable af though).
Although Mozu is also adorable and the some of the support convos are absolutely beautiful.
The music so far hasn't really stuck with me aside from a couple songs like Gag 2 and Field Battle (Map F). Although there was a couple pretty cool boss themes.
Of course I"m still not complete and just hit Chapter 16. Although the game has already made me regret a few choices i wasn't aware of. Losing a unit permanetly due to story reasons suck. If only I knew what I had to do to save that character beforehand...
Oh well, I'll just have to do another play-through of this later to try and make sure I get all the characters I can.
So what do you guys think of Fates and which storyline/storylines do you plan on doing?

If you are talking about birthright, i believe that character's loss is unavoidable.
Also, conquest is very very hard, chapter 10 made me weep on classic/hard. Can't even imagine the rng fest it would be on lunatic.
On a side note, the music is a bit different with each version.

Actually, reading up on it, it seems that the characters loss is completely avoidable and if you meet the conditions for it, you unlock Paralogue 6.
Also I obtained a new favorite character, Selkie! She's so flipping adorable and playful! So energetic! I love her.
So far my top favorite characters are Elsie, Selkie, Kaden, and Kanna. God, they are just so perfect.

Got the special edition. Going through Birthright atm. For Conquest I'm going to be on Normal mode since I'm not a masochist.

I got both version and I'm starting with Conquest. I had to restart at Chapter 10 and switched to Casual hard.
That Mission killed almost every units I had left.
I love the new features and the music, the story is meh though..
I dislike that your main character always try to be a good guy and save everyone. You can never be evil in any Fire emblem games. I though Nhor would be the bad guys side of the story and Hoshido the good guys but nope...
My favorite Units so far Would be Niles and Felicia.
Oh also I'm really disappointed with the pvp mode... 5v5 only... No special gamemode... also it use your savefile for the units..
I was expecting something like Xcom to build your teams. and gamemode like Defeat the boss or Defend the area in pvp would have been nice.
(Inb4 DLCs) :fail3:

I only read up on char unlock conditions, to try and minimize potential spoilers for recruitables.
I'll look into it when i do birthright.
Also, i almost switched to easy mode just because of chapter 10, but after failing so many times on the last turn, i decided to say screw it and actually defend the objective and freeze spam.

The one thing I'm regretting though is buying both conquest and birthright as physical copies. Don't make the mistake I did. You'll spend 2x as much money and get no bonus. I'm going to return Conquest when I pickup Twilight Princess and just buy it as a DLC so I can get the path Bonus. $20 through DLC, $40 as a hardcopy of the game.
The way that was executed was bullshit if you ask me.

Woops, I'll keep that in mind. I'm not a big fan of Conquest as I don't like the bad guys in fire emblem games most of the time. The only character I've seen that I really like is Elise. The rest I don't care about. Combined with the harder gameplay, it's a massive turn off for me. I'll stick with Birthright cause KITSUNE'S! Although Revelation may allow me to get Elise and my Kitsune's.
In fact Chapter 6 actually made me a bit queasy about Conquest and not feel at all at ease. It just felt so wrong.

Conquest is actually pretty nice morality side if you play enough of it.

Well going to finish Birthright first (I will have to do another playthrough of this to try and get everybody and not give up part way through and switch to Normal like I did this playthrough)

While the removal of skinship is fine with me, the fact that they completely changed a character's personality is not okay at all. It's wrong and disrespectful to the creators.

From my understanding, they worked with the creators to localize.

Yeah, in some capacity, which can see said with basically any non-fanslation.

I think the main issue with the localization to the US is you are going from a less restricted culture where kinks are not shamed and a lot more freedom is allowed in games. Over here in the US, they have to be a hell of a lot prudent cause most American parents are prudes and can't be showing that shit to our kids. No sir.
It's a cultural difference that you can't do much about. Solution is simple though, don't like it, don't buy it. If you want the petting minigame and all the other stuff that was cut or changed learn Japanese and go buy a Japanese DS/version of this. Then you can have your ultimate waifu simulator.
I personally don't care about the petting minigame and think most of the characters are fine as is.
So after beating Birthright and getting started on Conquest. I have to say, I actually like the Conquest route better.
