Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore: Welcome to Fortuna Entertainment (+New Japanese Ads)

Can you believe that Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE Encore is out just three weeks from now?

Nintendo from Japan is sure to remind us by launching a make-believe company profile page for Fortuna Entertainment, the production agency and hidden base of operations for the protagonists in Tokyo Mirage Sessions. Fortuna and its productions may not be real, but the page is so impressively elaborate that it’s hard not to appreciate. So we decided to transcribe the page and its contents for your convenience.

But before we get into that further, Nintendo also recently shared two short Japanese web commercials giving a quick overall look at Encore and its combat system. Check them out!

Heroes: “Kingdoms vs. Empires” Voting Gauntlet Coming Soon

The Fire Emblem series features many powerful kingdoms and empires, but have you ever wondered which was the strongest one? That’s the premise of the upcoming Voting Gauntlet event: Kingdoms vs. Empires.

In the event, which runs between 1st and 7th January 2020 (UTC), Summoners can side with eight Heroes, each representing a particular nation.

They are: Christmas Marth (Altea), Fallen Hardin (Archanea), Dimitri (Faerghus), Edelgard (Adrestia), New Year’s Alfonse (Askr), Brave Veronica (Embla), Cavalry Chrom (Ylisse) and Walhart (Valm).

As a helping hand, there’s currently a Voting Gauntlet banner featuring 3 of the participating Heroes: Brave Veronica, Fallen Hardin and Cavalry Chrom.

For the others, Christmas Marth is obviously from the on-going Christmas banner, Dimitri and Edelgard are in the Legendary Celica banner, New Year’s Alfonse is in the upcoming New Year’s banner and, finally, Walhart can be summoned using Heroic Grails.

Heroes: Special Heroes Will Ring in the New Year in “Renewed Spirit” Summoning Event!

If you’re curious about this year’s New Year’s Special Heroes, you don’t have to wait any longer! Nintendo has just dropped a new trailer for the Renewed Spirit summoning event, which starts on 1st January 2020 (UTC).

The Heroes in the summoning event are Anna (who finally gets an alt!), Selkie, Lethe and Duo Alfonse and Sharena. In addition, Eir will be available in the next Tempest Trials+ event. For a text breakdown, please check the end of this article.

Furthermore, Nintendo has shared a video from the Nintendo Treehouse team, highlighting these new Heroes. Also, the “Meet some of the Heroes” page has been updated with all five Heroes as well.

Unless I missed it, it seems they skipped the usual silhouette phase. Perhaps because of the recent data-mine?

Fire Emblem Premium Arrange Album II Releasing on 19th February 2020

Intelligent Systems have formally announced details for the Fire Emblem Premium Arrange Album II, which contains music to be performed at the upcoming Fire Emblem Expo II event during early May 2020.

As mentioned previously, the album will be released before the event itself. This is because there are some new vocal songs and they want to encourage fans to learn the lyrics so they can follow the songs during the live concert.

We now know when exactly it’ll be released: 19th February 2020. It will retail for 3,200 Yen (including tax). As is often the case, the album will be released in Japan only. However, there’s a good chance that import stores will be carrying it.

For the record, the album contains most of the songs from the concert, but not all of them. On the other hand, it features an exclusive song that won’t be performed at the concert: “Truth, Despair and Hope” from The Sacred Stones.
