This is absolutely true because I experienced it myself, to be honest, when I first started Part 1 of Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave.

So at that moment, my mind went completely blank seeing the four different paths of Cai, Dietrich, Theodora, and Leda on the screens. 

Let me tell you one thing, I was not able to understand anything, and then I was not able to understand where to start. 

Initially, I jumped into any path without thinking, but as the game's difficulty suddenly spiked and the story's major plot twists were revealed without context.

and So my heart really sank. And I felt so sad and frustrated that I felt like I was ruining the entire experience and storyline of the game.

To be honest, I feel like I am solving a big puzzle the wrong way. 

After thinking about it for a long time, I paused the game and drank some cold water. 

And deeply analyzed the game's progression system, continuity, and achievement bonuses. And when I followed a proper route order and completed all the Part 1 paths.

I stepped into Part 2. I can't explain the clarity, crisp flow, and satisfaction I felt at that time. 

So come on, today without any delay, I will tell you my entire emotional experience journey and the exact formula to master the Part 1 routes. This is my favorite trio. You'll definitely like it.

Which Part 1 Path Should You Do First?


It's absolutely true that I was very confused about this in the beginning, but when I tried it, this order turned out to be the best:

The Recommended Route Order: To be honest, I did Theodora first, then Cai (or Cai then Theodora), then Leda, and lastly Dietrich. 

This order increases the game's difficulty quite smoothly, and more importantly, its story revelations occur in a natural sequence.

Theodora vs Cai: I have experienced that if you start with Kai, the structure and focused scope of the game will be easily understood. 

And if you start with Theodora, you'll get a great introduction to wider world stories.

Separate Continuities: To be honest, these four paths are not separate perspectives of the same timeline. 

So I have noticed that these are different continuities where your custom character changes the protagonist's fate.

Why You Should Complete All Four Part 1 Paths


Let me tell you one thing, at first I was worried that playing 4 different paths would waste a lot of time, but when I saw that Direct Part 2: After knowing how much lore I am missing, so to be honest, then I understood its importance:

Complete Villains Lore: I have observed that all 4 paths together reveal the complete historical context and history of the villains.

And one more thing, if you read only Part 1 and then go to Part 2, there will be huge gaps in the story.

Part 3 Character Unlocks: To be honest, it is absolutely true that if you do not do all Part 1 paths, So in Part 3 you will not get full access, customization, and deployment of some characters.

Independent Progression & Inventory: In my experience, inventories are not shared between themselves, brother. Because I have noticed that.

Characters on each path will start at a default level, but their Supports, Achievement progress, and Blessings carry forward throughout the game.


Achievement Boons: To be honest, you can buy such powers/bonuses with the Achievement points you get after completing a path. 

So It makes the difficult path ahead super-fast and easy. This is my favorite part.

My Pro Advice: First of all, don't worry at all. And one important thing, follow the recommended order and then unlock the lore by completing all the paths. 

And rule the Fire Emblem battlefield. If you have any problems, be sure to ask your brother in the comments. I'm here.
