However just yesterday, robotortoise over on the Fire Emblem subreddit stumbled upon an undiscovered nugget: Old Hubba, the comedic fortune-teller from the DLC episodes has his own profile in the Roster, albeit unused.

An old man who just sort of showed up. Mostly useless, though he can assess relationships. Oh, and he’s a few millennia old or something. The one with the wildest love life. Born on February 29th.

Having checked the files myself (from my own legitimate copy of Awakening), I can assure you that his whimsical profile is genuine.

Fire Emblem Awakening Getting a New Collector’s Book

December 23, 2015 News 4 comments

Fire Emblem Fates is upon us, but that doesn’t stop Awakening from riding its popularity and success train just a little bit further. Lucina makes herself present on another cover as Dark Horse, the publishing company behind Hyrule Historia, is releasing The Art of Fire Emblem: Awakening.

Cover

This will be a 320 page book, filled to the brim with artwork related to character design, weapon design, storyboards, event illustrations and the game’s complete script for all possible dialogue and scenes.

This book will also be published in English, meaning that while those not proficient with Japanese may have had to pass on the Japanese version of this one, those same readers will be facing incredible temptation to pick this one up.

The Art of Fire Emblem: Awakening will be available in comic shops on August 17, 2016, and in bookstores on August 30, 2016. Oddly enough, Amazon lists this as being released on July 26, 2016.

Preorders are available now through your local comic shop (not confirmed in all comic shops), Amazon.com, Barnesandnoble.com and soon, Indiebound.org, for $39.99.
