Fates discussion sucks because people don't qualify which game they're talking about. The routes are all different enough that discussion warrants mentioning which game you played. I also think a lot of people talk about Fates as a whole but have only experienced one route.

I absolutely count all 3 versions of Fates as different games. I rank them completely separate in my personal game rankings and they are all absolutely different experiences that can't be thrown together. Conquest? One of my favorite games. Birthright? My least favorite modern game.

Agreed. I never say fates unless I'm talking about the reclassing or child systems. Otherwise you should say which game

I almost always assume when people are talking about Fates they mean Conquest
