The last time we had a trailer was back in August 2015, at which point the game was roughly 10% complete. Fast forward around 9 months and the game (the first part) is now 90% complete, with just a few graphics to be finalised.

According to Kaga, roughly 15 volunteers contributed to the Vestaria Project. The expected release date for the first part is August/September 2016; when complete, it will be released as free software.

The trailer itself opens with a nostalgic world map scene depicting the events that lead up to the war. In June of 1024, officials traveling from the Solvian Empire were caught in a boat fire at the Meledan port of Frist.

Anyone who’s played a Fire Emblem game (which should be most of you) ought to find the stat-heavy screens at least vaguely familiar, despite the possible language barrier.

To begin with, the top-left panel features the unit’s portrait, name, class, Level, Experience and HP. In the example above, we have Zeid, the main character of the first game, who’s fittingly of the “Lord” class.

In the panel below, there’s the unit’s inventory along the left, followed by the weapon types that can be equipped in the corner. Right now, Zeid is packing a Lord Asral, Short Sword, Army Sword and Long Sword.
