Nintendo has released a new developer diary for Fire Emblem Fates, hot on the heels of the game's successful international release last month.

The video features commentary from Intelligent Systems developers and Nintendo representatives. Interestingly, the idea for the dual story paths came about way back when Shadow Dragon came out but didn't manifest until now due to technical limitations. They also talk more about the differences in the game's stories, which may help sway anyone still on the fence between Birthright and Conquest.

Fire Emblem Fates is available now.
