Throne area of My Castle

My Castle (Japanese: マイキャッスル, My Castle) is a feature in Fire Emblem Fates. It has various features. Outside of the building of various facilities, it is also used for StreetPass engagements with other players, like Fire Emblem Awakening's StreetPass skirmishes on the world map.

My Castle allows the player to move their Avatar around the map, unhindered by movement and the grid. This feature was last seen in Fire Emblem Gaiden. My Castle can also be viewed from an over-the-shoulder mode, allowing more detailed models of the facilities to be viewed, though movement does not appear to be possible in this mode.

My Castle also replaces the general Barracks and Everyone's Conditions from Awakening and New Mystery of the Emblem. The Avatar may walk around their My Castle and speak to allied units. Allied units may receive random stat bonuses after talking with them.

My Castle is located in a pocket dimension inhabited by the Astral Dragons [1].

Version Differences

The dusk dragon statue, available only in Nohr.

There are several differences between the two versions, a prominent one being the landscape featured. Nohr features barren land and Hoshido features lush and green land.

The facilities between the two versions are also different, with the same facilities between the two versions being aesthetically different, facilities built in Hoshido look Japanese, while those built in Nohr being more western. One example of two exclusive options are the dark dragon statue and light dragons statues, the dark dragon statue can only be built in Nohr, while the light dragon statue can only be built in Hoshido.

An important gameplay difference is that Nohr does not grant experience, while in Hoshido there are experience-granting activities.

Styles

There are two sets of three styles, one exclusive to Birthright, one exclusive to Conquest. Revelation has both sets and no unique styles of its own. Styles change the appearance and layout of the player's My Castle.

Birthright Styles

  • Hoshidan Style
  • Wind Tribe Style
  • Izumite Style

Conquest Styles

Resources

Resources are various items gained within My Castle, these items have no use outside of My Castle. Resources range from food to gemstones. Resources are often obtained by speaking with characters or using designated facilities.

Facilities

There are various facilities in the My Castle feature. Facilities are created and upgraded with Dragon Vein points (abbreviated at "DVP" ingame}.

Facilities are also obstacles in StreetPass battles, they can be destroyed by the opponent or the player to open up new avenues for attack. All facilities are restored at the end of a fight.

Private Quarters

The appearance of my room.

The Private Quarters (Japanese: マイルーム My Room) is a facility available from the start. It is a tree-house. When the Avatar enters their room there are two available activities: the Avatar can change their hairstyle or interact with allies in a minigame.

Interacting with Gunter

Changing the Avatar's hairstyle simply allows the player to swap the Avatar's hairstyle between other customization options. This is done by bringing up the hair customization of the character creator.

Interacting with allies the Japanese release of the game comprises of a minigame where the player uses the stylus to touch characters' faces to raise their bonds. In international versions, the touching minigame is removed entirely, though all other characters still speak to the player and support points are still gained. Characters of either sex can be interacted with regardless of the Avatar's sex. There are two versions of the interaction feature, a general one for all units, and a specific mode for the Avatar's spouse, dialogue and interactions are different between these two modes. If the Avatar is married, the player can blow on the 3DS microphone to cool off their spouse if they have just come out of the bathhouse. If the player finds their spouse asleep, they can either tap on the stylus to wake the spouse up, though they will respond negatively, or gently touch them with the stylus for the same reason.

Armory

Main article: Armory

In the context of My Castle, the armory is run by a character chosen randomly. There are two versions of the armory, Dawn Armories, and Dusk Armories. Each armory sells weapons from their respective country, the Dawn Armory sells Hoshidan weapons, like Katana, Naginata, and Clubs. Dusk Armories sell traditional Nohrian weapons, like Swords, lances and Axes. The Dawn Armory is exclusive to Birthright and Revelation, while the Dusk Armory is exclusive to Conquest and Revelation. The, randomly selected, character running the armory has an important effect, different characters give different discounts depending on what weapons they specialize in. For instance, Arthur gives a discount for axes. When upgraded, more powerful weapons are available for purchase.

Vendor

Main article: Vendor (shop)
A silver-rank vendor.

Another self-evident facility, the vendor sells various items and staves. Like the armory, a character is chosen randomly to run the shop.

Inside the vendor

Arena

Main article: Arena
A silver rank arena.

The arena returns in this game, functioning like previous arenas, however, the reward for winning is not money, and instead the resource that was bet at the start of the round. A character is randomly placed in the arena from the player's roster, the player cannot specifically choose who to allow into the arena outside of a special case outlined below.

When the arena is upgraded units may paricipate in back-to-back rounds of combat, earning even more of the chosen resource, though this is more risky as HP is not healed between matches.

Niles and Effie teamed up for an arena battle.

When a character has support ranks with others the character they have a support with may appear and help them in the arena battle, in arena battles the two characters act as if they are in attack stance, no dual guards occur in arena battles under any circumstances.

When the allying character appears the player may choose the person with the primary combat role in the next arena round, this is useful as the player's arena combatant is generally chosen randomly by the game.

Prison

The prison facility is a new feature introduced in Fates. It works alongside Niles' Kidnap skill or Orochi's Hoshidan Capture skill. When Niles or Orochi capture an enemy unit, that unit is place into the prison. Prisoners can be persuaded to join with the randomly selected unit currently running the facility. Captured units can also be recruited by 'buying' them with resources.

Accessory Shop

The accessory shop is an entirely new feature. This is a shop where the player may buy accessories for their units. These accessories can be worn by characters other than the Avatar. Accessories provide minor combat bonuses, however, accessories and their bonuses are only available within the My Castle feature.

Accessories are bought and created with resources.

Mess Hall

Another new facility, the mess hall is a facility where food is prepared for the player's troops. Like armory and vendor a character is chosen randomly to run the cafeteria. When the character prepares food in the cafeteria it is prepared for the entire army. Food is made using resources. The bonuses given by the prepared food is somewhat random, some characters eat the food and get a standard bonus, while others may instead receive a temporary stat reduction.

The stat bonuses granted by cafeteria food last for one map.

Lottery Shop

A silver ranked lottery.

The lottery shop is a facility where the player can roll for a prize. Various items can be won this way.

Rolling for a prize in the lottery.

Hot Spring

The hot spring is an area for characters of the same sex to relax with each other. Details of the benefits of this facility are unknown.

Lilith's Temple

Lilith's temple is the home of Lilith, an Astral Dragon. Within the shrine, Lilith can be fed food resources to make her level-up. Lilith appears during StreetPass battles to aid the player as a NPC unit.

Record's Hall

The Record's Hall is a building in My Castle where you can view unit compatibility, research the library, view the theater, or view the Support Log.

Traveler's Plaza

Main article: Streetpass

StreetPassing with other players is also a feature that affects My Castle. It generally works similarly to Awakening's StreetPass features. When Fates receives streetpass data the other player's units appear in My Castle in the traveler's plaza facility. Visiting units can be challenged to battle, or the player can purchase units from the visiting units.

The foreign My Castle can be visited by the player. StreetPass is important for obtaining a wider variety of resources, as the variety available in a single My Castle is limited, and more resources can be obtained from characters in other people's My Castles.
