With a mere handful of days remaining until Fire Emblem Heroes becomes available worldwide*, the review embargo has been lifted and we’re getting our first glimpse at hands-on reviews of the game from pre-release coverage gaming sites such as IGN, Polygon and Gamexplain.
Here’s the breakdown of what we’ve learned from the reviews that wasn’t quite explained during the Fire Emblem Direct & on the videos from the Fire Emblem Heroes website:
In preparation for another monstrous year for Fire Emblem and also to bring more talent to the stage, I’m proud to announce that Jedi will be joining the Serenes Forest team as an additional news editor.
It’s no secret that Jedi is a massive fan of both the Warriors series and the Fire Emblem series, which makes him the perfect choice to cover the upcoming Fire Emblem Warriors. Either way, I expect great things from him!
That’s not the only staff-related news, as Elieson–who joined us as a news editor around 15 months ago–will be reborn as a website editor. *Cue promotion music*
Since joining the team, Elieson has shown us not only his fantastic capabilities, but also his trustworthiness as somebody who represents the face of Serenes Forest. As such, I have no qualms about giving him the keys to the forest.
Anyway, we hope you look forward to seeing Serenes Forest continue to grow!
Not long ago, Nintendo released yet another batch of videos late yesterday, featuring Fire Emblem Heroes and Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valencia. Nintendo shared two Heroes videos, one in English (below) and one in Japanese (click here).
We get some nice little tidbits, including confirmation of Yuri Lowenthal voicing Eliwood. He does the voicework for Marth as well, so it appears as though Lowenthal is genuinely our lead Lord.
There are only 7 days to go before Fire Emblem Heroes debuts on smart devices.
That also means the Choose Your Legends event–where users can vote for their favourite character(s) from across the series–is soon coming to an end.
More precisely, we’re on the 7th day of voting, with 5 more days remaining. (At the time of writing.)
Not long ago, we learned the top 3 characters as of 23rd January 2017, but now the picture has become much clearer after Nintendo of America (among others) posted a list of the current top 20 male characters and top 20 female characters.
