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.

Pg76

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.

December 22, 2015 FE Fates, News, SMT x FE 14 comments

With the upcoming release of two Fire Emblem games (Genei Ibun Roku #FE in Japan, and Fates in the US), it’s no surprise that some teaser videos of early gameplay would be released. GameXplain managed to get their hands on the English version of Fire Emblem Fates and was kind enough to post roughly 15 minutes of footage from the game’s early stages, bringing us to the Chapter 6 decision.

Voice acting can be heard for Male!Corrin, Yukimura, Mikoto, Hinoka, Azura, Takumi, Sakura, Ryoma, Kaze and Rinkah, Xander, Camilla, Leo, Elise, Garon and Sumiragi (all of these names translated into English as you see above, of course). However, that’s not all we’re privy to.

December 17, 2015 News, Pre-Release, SMT x FE 4 comments

Next week, Genei Ibun Roku #FE launches in Japan and we’ll finally find out if it was worth the wait and effort. Before that though, Famitsu is here to give us another sneak peak at the game.

Previously, we learned that fan-favourites Abel from Shadow Dragon and Lon’qu from Awakening will appear as Mirages… on the enemy side that is.

This matched with a tease in an earlier Famitsu interview where the developers refused to deny Abel’s absence in the game. Plus we’ve already seen Awakening villains as enemies.

Anyway, this week’s Famitsu begins with an event that started everything: the “Theatre Opening Disappearing Case“, an unresolved tragedy that occurred 5 years ago.

Direct, Masahiro Sakurai announced quite a few additions to the Super Smash Bros. for Wii U & 3DS, including new stages, music, costumes and characters. What no doubt caught many viewers off guard was the immediate Fire Emblem Fates inclusion, thrusting the viewer into the infamous decision scene in which Corrin must choose his or her side. What surprised viewers even more was that the decision scene, in which Corrin was faced with a choice that nobody expected.
