This will be the first Fire Emblem game that includes you, the main character, making the major decisions that affect the story. This is a departure from Fire Emblem Awakening where your character plays a supporting role in the story. This is a welcome change in my opinion.

The story revolves around 2 factions, the Hoshido clan and the Nohr clan. It’s a typical trope-y setting where one faction strives for peace, and the other for war. What is interesting is that you have ties with both being Hoshido-born and Nohr-raised. Choosing 1 of the 2 factions in the game will be a tough decision. Inevitably, this design choice will probably lead to better replayability, which is a plus. 

The developers have noted that the Nohr campaign will be harder than the Hoshido. Whereas the Nohr campaign sets you in charge of leading a rebellion from the inside, the Hoshido campaign is designed like a more traditional Fire Emblem story. Nohr mode is recommended for Fire Emblem veterans who are familiar with the mechanics.

I've been playing games since I was small but only started to really observe and critique a few years back. Been writing reviews for games (albeit, old games because not everyone can have a crazy fast rig). When I'm not writing about games, I generally do some photography as well, so check that out if you've got some time.
