The Path Is Yours (Japanese:その手が拓く未来The Hand that Forges the Path to the Future) is an interlude sequence inFire Emblem Fates. Initially presented to the player as the sixth chapter of the game, the sequence serves as the vehicle for the player, and by extensionCorrin within the game, to choose the campaign they will undertake for the remainder of the game.
Plot
- Main article:
The Path Is Yours/Script
Corrin is torn between two conflicting groups, the Hoshidans and the Nohrians. BothRyoma andXander try to convince Corrin to join their side, with the Nohrians claiming that they raised and loved Corrin since they were a child. Other Hoshidan and Nohrian royals express their opinions on the matter and try to convince Corrin to side with them. In the end, Corrin is left confused and unsure of who their true family is.
Branch of Fate
At this point, the player makes their decision.
Should the player own no campaigns, only possible with digital copies of the game from Japan and the PAL regions, the player will be prompted to choose their initial choice of campaign to download. Should the player own only one campaign, possible in all non-Korean copies of the game, they will be reminded that they can purchase more campaigns before beginning the one they already own. Should the player own two or all three campaigns, they can make their choice of which one they want to play:
- Defend Hoshido: "This path includes opportunities to freely accumulate experience points and gold. This will allow you to enjoy watching your characters grow faster. Is this the path you choose?" (This choice starts the player onto theBirthright campaign; it will beginIn the White Light, Chapter 6 in theBirthright campaign.)
- Fight with Nohr: "This path allows you to test your skills and devise complex strategies while progressing with limited access to experience points and gold. Is this the path you choose?" (This choice starts the player onto theConquest campaign; it will beginEmbrace the Dark, Chapter 6 in theConquest campaign.)
- Refuse to choose a side: "It is not recommended to select this path for your first playthrough. This route is best experienced after playing both the Defend Hoshido and Fight with Nohr paths. Is this still the path you choose?" (This choice starts the player onto theRevelation campaign; it will beginInto the Ground, Chapter 6 of theRevelation campaign.)
