Undo path that leads to $20 DLC purchase on Fire Emblem Fates

My cousin received Fire Emblem Fates as a present last week. He started playing it and got a few chapters/levels in when it asks him to pick a side. He chose one and completed the next level, but now it's asking him to pay $20 to continue.

Can he go back to select the free path without restarting his save file? Money is very tight for both of our families so we can't afford the $20 DLC, and he can't go back to pick the other side without restarting the whole game.

Best Answer

Select "Branch of Fate" on the main menu

The "Branch of Fate" option allows you to start a new save file immediately before the choice of which path to take. You're able to change the details of your avatar character, but it automatically fills in most of the previous details for you. Simply select the path for the game you actually have, and you're good to go.

Even though it's technically a new save file, you're started in the same state as you were in when you first reached the path option, making it effectively a rollback.
