Updates to the Illusory Revelations #FE official site are becoming like buses: you wait ages for one, then two come at once. (Of course, game development isn’t easy, so that’s not a complaint, by any means.)

In any case, the last site update was back in late April and now, just over a month later, we have not one but two staff blog posts!

As it happens, both posts are from the directors of the game. The first post is from Eiji Ishida, the chief designer for battles, and the second post is from Mitsuru Hirata, who’s the chief director.

Apologies for the slight delay; it’s difficult trying to juggle two major upcoming game releases.

I’ve now updated the Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem section with various bits and bobs; most notably a trailer analysis and media page.

If you have any comments, do let me know; I don’t claim to be a MegaTen expert, so I’ve surely missed a few things.

As always, we’ve got plenty of on-going discussions over on the forums too.

Update: Added some details about the characters’ names and other things to the analysis.
