Echoes: Valentia Complete / Heroes: New Character Trailer

January 25, 2017 FE Echoes, FE Heroes, News 9 comments

It’s only been a day, but we have some more minor updates that we’d like to bring to your attention.

For those wishing to pre-order the the Japanese Fire Emblem Echoes Valentia Complete edition from the My Nintendo Store on 27th February 2017, there has been a change in plans.

Due to the “unexpected” amount of traffic during the launch of the My Nintendo Store, which resulted in the website crashing to a halt, Nintendo has promised to make amends, starting with the upcoming Valentia Complete.

Initially meant to be a “limited quantity” item, the Valentia Complete will now be available to everyone who pre-orders during the specified period. However, to accommodate this change, the starting date for pre-orders has been delayed until further notice.

Note: The final release date for the product has not changed.

Echoes and Heroes Mini Updates

January 24, 2017 FE Echoes, FE Heroes, News 41 comments

It’s almost been a whole week since the epic Fire Emblem Direct and we have a few minor updates and reminders for you.

Firstly, as we mentioned at the end of our trailer analysis for Fire Emblem Echoes, it was announced that Japan would be getting two special editions.

The second and larger of of these–the luxurious Valentia Complete will only be available from the recently opened My Nintendo Store. More precisely, pre-orders will open on 27th January 2017.

Knowing Nintendo’s inability to keep things properly stocked and the rising emergence of scalpers, you’ll need nothing short of Mila’s divine blessing to safely secure a pre-order.

January 21, 2017 News 5 comments

Unless you’re a die-hard Cipher follower or merchandise collector, you might have missed the birth of the real-life “Cavalier Duo” during 2016.

Perhaps better known for their roles as Sound Director and Music Composer in Fates, Hiroki Morishita (left) and Takeru Kanazaki (right) performed in a series of Fire Emblem mini-concerts during the Cipher Caravan events from June to August 2016.

Around this time, the pair became known as the “Cavalier Duo” (“Social Knights” in Japan, based on the Japanese name of the Cavalier class), with Morishita being the red Cavalier and Kanazaki being the green Cavalier.

Later, during the end of 2016, the pair released a soundtrack CD containing music they performed at the Cipher Caravan event, dubbed “Sounds of Fire Emblem from Cipher Caravan – Horse and Rider as One”.
