Fire Emblem Fates – Good Guy Garon Edition is a narrative overhaul/mod for Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest. Despite the game claiming to speak to the grey nature of war, there was very little substance given to the Nohrians. I expected an obvious Good vs Evil scenario between the kingdoms, but even when you choose to follow Nohr, there was little to no Good vs Evil scenario between the kingdoms, where the most egregious example of this is King Garon, who is just awfully written.
This Conquest route mod seeks to fix this by transforming the pivotal role of King Garon from a cartoonishly evil caricature into a King loyal to Nohr who is slowly losing his mind. Many interactions with the Hoshidan and Nohrian siblings were also altered to give the player character more of a voice and to flesh out the world. These changes aim to bring new life to the character’s motivation in the Conquest path, which is borne throughout to the very end of the game. I tried to keep as much of the original text and lore as possible while incorporating the new material; however, there may be a few areas where things conflict.
