In case you are on this web page, you might be in all probability questioning, “How does New Sport+ work in Hearth Emblem: Fortune’s Weave?” This web page is that can assist you perceive how the sport carries over content material into new routes, and also will show you how to perceive what’s reset, what progresses, and the way finest to grasp replaying Fortune’s Weave.

Whereas Fortune’s Weave doesn’t explicitly have something referred to as “New Sport+”, it does have a perform referred to as Replay. This lets you redo particular person elements of the sport. The best way this works could be a little bit tough, so please learn this web page rigorously.

The Construction of Hearth Emblem: Fortune’s Weave

Earlier than going into Replay particulars, it is best to grasp how the sport is structured. There are three “Elements” to Fortune’s Weave, not counting the short Prologue part.

1. Half I: The primary half is the Heroic Video games. Right here, there are 4 paths you’ll be able to entry from the Obelisk Chamber, one for every of the sport’s major characters: Cai, Dietrich, Theodora, and Leda. Whereas these paths have some similarities, they’re all distinctive, and every character has entry to completely different characters and quests. This part is 12 chapters lengthy for every protagonist.
2. Half II: That is the Conflict Arc, accessed from the Strife Obelisk within the Obelisk Chamber. Every of the 4 protagonists goes by means of the Conflict Arc individually, however the content material of every arc is basically similar, with solely small changes to some cutscenes relying in your chosen protagonist. This part is 6 chapters lengthy, and it doesn’t have any Free Time or World Map exploration.
3. Half III: That is the Salvation Arc, accessed by means of the Door of Future within the Obelisk Chamber. Solely characters which have accomplished their Conflict Arc can participate within the Salvation Arc. Which means if you need all characters to take part within the Salvation Arc, you’ll need to finish the Conflict Arc 4 instances. This part is 6 chapters lengthy, nevertheless it does embrace Free Time and World Map exploration.

Notice: The sport does offer you a way to ‘skip’ the Conflict Arc for subsequent characters, though you will not get as a lot profit out of it (like EXP) when you accomplished it usually.

How Replays Work in Hearth Emblem: Fortune’s Weave

In any case, again to how Replays work.

After finishing any one of many Half I Paths, you’ll choose an choice to “Replay from Any Chapter”. You are able to do this even earlier than you begin Half II, or every other Half I Path. How this works is that the sport has created a collection of ‘bookmarks’ to mark your progress initially of every chapter of the Path you’ve got accomplished. The sport will even present you a timestamp of when that ‘bookmark’ was final up to date. Whereas the sport would not name it a ‘bookmark’, I feel that is one of the best ways to grasp how loading into these replays works.

If you happen to select to replay any Chapter in a Half I Path, the sport will load to that chosen level because it was once you had been there the primary time. Any progress made in that chapter or any following chapter just isn’t included (excluding Assist Ranges, Bless Stage at temples, Notable Deeds &Boons of Salvation). Nonetheless, be aware that the bookmarks for later chapters are nonetheless in place and won’t be eliminated.

Which means when you resolve to Replay Leda Path Chapter 6, your Chapter 7, 8, 9, 10, and so on bookmarks are nonetheless in place. You didn’t ‘rewind’ to Chapter 6, you simply opened the Chapter 6 bookmark.

If you happen to return to the Obelisk Chamber from any Chapter throughout a replay, you’ll be able to return to the purpose mid-Chapter that you simply left from, until you resolve to load a bookmark from a special Chapter.

Now, when you Replay by means of Leda Chapter 6 and return to Chapter 7, your Leda Chapter 7 bookmark can be overwritten with the brand new one. That is the one strategy to overwrite a bookmark: by replaying the Chapter earlier than it.

Now chances are you’ll be questioning, does something carry over to a replay? If you happen to replay any Chapter from Chapter 2 to Chapter 12, the reply is ‘No.’ The sport will load precisely because it was when the bookmark was created. Nonetheless, if you wish to carry over some progress right into a replay, there’s an exception to this rule.

There’s a large exception to the bookmark guidelines. That’s, when you Replay a Path from Chapter 1 — the very starting. Right here, the sport WILL ‘import’ progress again into your route. Which means map exploration and Subquest completion WILL be carried over into your replay. To illustrate you wish to replay Leda’s Path a second time. If you happen to begin at Chapter 1, the sport would not act as if you’re taking part in the route for the very first time. Your explored map out of your first playthrough will already be explored, and your Subquest completion can be tracked.

What carries over in a replay (so long as you replay from Chapter 1):

• Map exploration
• Subquest completion
• Different ‘International’ progress like Assist Ranges and Notable Deeds

Which means, when you play Leda’s Path and spend a bunch of time exploring the map, when you Replay Leda’s Path, you needn’t spend a lot time exploring the map once more.

Half I Chapter 12 replay additionally has a novel characteristic. If you happen to Replay Chapter 12 (of any Half I Path), the sport will ‘replace’ the trail being imported into that protagonist’s subsequent Half II: Conflict Arc. So, for example you wished to regulate Leda’s social gathering earlier than transferring on to her Half II. You may Replay Half I: Chapter 12, make no matter changes desired (whether or not that is recruited characters, courses, ranges, and so on), and end her Half I a second time. It will replace her start line for Half II.

All of this implies is that, until you wish to begin from scratch, you will by no means must make a brand new save file in Hearth Emblem: Fortune’s Weave.

This additionally means it’s best to play a single Half I Path to completion earlier than beginning a second Half I Path, since you’ll carry some progress right into a second path, provided that the primary one has been completed.

The sport truly helps you out barely in understanding your Chapter bookmarks. On the Replay display, take a look at the diamond-shaped pips on the backside. The best way these are linked signifies which bookmarks are ‘linked’ to one another.

Right here on this display, I did the next:

1. I performed by means of Leda’s Path to completion, all 12 chapters.
2. I replayed Chapter 4 and reached Chapter 5. This created a brand new pip for Chapter 5.
3. I replayed Chapters 1, 2, and three. This created new pips for Chapters 1-4

As you’ll be able to see. Pips 1-4 are linked, since that was a linked playthrough. Pips 6-12 are linked, since that was my unique playthrough. Pip 5 is separated, as a result of it isn’t linked to my unique playthrough nor my most up-to-date replay of Chapter 1-4.

Half II and Half III will also be replayed on this chapter-bookmark format, however so long as you perceive the way it works for Half I replays, the latter elements are a lot easier as compared.

Hearth Emblem: Fortune’s Weave – Something after the ultimate credit?

It is also price noting that, on the ultimate Half III credit of the sport, as soon as the whole lot is claimed and achieved, you’ll be able to load again into your Clear Save within the ultimate part of the sport earlier than you confronted the ultimate boss. There is no such thing as a “New Sport+”, however you might be given a brand new icon in your save menu, and now you can replay any a part of the sport at will, from Half I all the way in which to the tip. If you happen to wished to check out new items, or receive extra Assist conversations, or simply play once more, you are able to do that.

Additionally, on a Clear Save, you unlock two extra further scenes when you replay the sport’s Prologue. These scenes give just a little bit extra perception into Fortuna’s plan, now that you’ve got the total recreation context to grasp it. If you happen to had been questioning how one can get these lacking Occasions proven on the Shrine of Causality menu, that is how.
