Hey everyone, I started translating my copy of the Hoshido comic anthology and I thought I would share it here if anyone is interested. The quality is pretty bad because I've just been taking pictures from my phone, so I hope you can overlook that! Please let me know if you find any of my translations confusing! I'm happy to receive feedback. I will update this post as I post new chapters. Chapter 1: http://imgur.com/a/UyIM8 Chapter 2: http://imgur.com/a/oFIzV Chapter 3: http://imgur.com/a/quIwU Chapter 4: http://imgur.com/a/jP6F3 NEW! Chapter 5: http://imgur.com/a/j3ovY Chapter 6: http://imgur.com/a/XwDTr Scans are curtesy of SniperGYS! I am also going to begin translating the Nohr/Conquest anthology with the help of maskedmarth's scans, so I will hopefully be posting some of those soon. Also, if you can, please support the authors by buying the book :) (also, can anyone tell me how to tag a username? I'm new to this forum stuff, sorry. Thanks)

So I should probably put up a thread for the FE IF Conquest anthology scans. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/nmxw9ogsip1k3rl/AACMASVjN44DmKH3kbk9SPYqa?dl=0 The link will lead you to the chapters that are completely scanned and ready to go. I will keep editing the chapters that are finished! Please support the artists by purchasing the book (I find it easier to do it through Amazon.jp, quick and easy). If you would like me to scan any future releases (such as The Making of Fire Emblem), please any donation you can to my Pay Pal via <script data-cfhash='f9e31' type="text/javascript"> /* */</script>, since I am unemployed and doing this in my spare time! (Book will cost me $50, I'm already putting my own money into it, around $20). Message me for more info! I will put in the chapter description of the main characters (or main focus as you like) in the chapter. "And others" means that other characters pop up for for only one panel or for a very small amount of time, aha.

I think it would be a fun thing on this site if members created their own class that they would like to see. anyway i thought of a class called a royal gaurd Lance - A, Sword - B Hp 65 Str 31 Mag 27 Skl 32 Spd 29 Lck 25 Def 33 Res 27 Mov 6 hope this topic doesn't burn

OK, Week 2 has come, and with it, another character to discuss in great detail. You may have noticed that from now on, the following week's character will be decided via a poll, and it will stay that way from now on. Anyway, this week we will coincidentally be analysing Sakura-sama's other subordinate, the tomboyish Samurai, Kazahana(or Hana). Kazahana is the first Samurai you are given on the Hoshido route, and she is the loyal subordinate of your little sister Sakura, being childhood friends with her, while Kazahana and Tsubaki(her partner) often bicker about small matters, such as who is the most loyal guard to Sakura. OK, enough talk, let's get to gameplay... CLASS OPTIONS: Base: Samurai > Trueblade /OR/ Weapons Master Parallel Seal: Priestess > War Priestess /OR/ Exorcist Mage Marriage Seal: Jakob- Rod Knight > Maid /OR/ Strategist Kaze/Saizou- Ninja > Elite Ninja /OR/ Puppeteer Tsubaki/Ryouma- Pegasus Warrior > Falcon Warrior /OR/ Golden Kite Warrior Silas- Cavalier > Paladin /OR/ Great Knight Asama- Herb Merchant > Great Merchant /OR/ Puppeteer Tsukuyomi/Nishiki- Spellcaster > Exorcist Mage /OR/ Basara Hinata- Oni > Blacksmith /OR/ Shura Takumi- Bowman > Holy Bowman /OR/ Golden Kite Warrior *Touma Route ONLY* Lazward- Mercenary > Brave Hero /OR/ Bow Knight Flannel- Fighter > Berserker /OR/ Brave Hero Buddy Seal: Felicia- Rod Knight > Maid /OR/ Strategist Sakura- Pegasus Warrior > Falcon Warrior /OR/ Golden Kite Warrior Setsuna- Bowman > Holy Bowman /OR/ Golden Kite Warrior *Touma Route ONLY* Effie- Knight > General /OR/ Great Knight Skill Lists for these classes: http://serenesforest.net/fire-emblem-fates/hoshidan-classes/class-skills/ http://serenesforest.net/fire-emblem-fates/nohrian-classes/class-skills/ Personal Skill: Tomboy: When user triggers the battle and defeats an enemy, enemies adjacent to the user have their HP reduced by 20% BASE GROWTH RATES: HP- 25% Strength- 55% Magic- 10% Skill- 45% Speed- 55% Luck- 25% Defence- 20% Resistance- 30% BASE CAP MODIFIERS: Strength- 1 Magic- / Skill- 1 Speed- 2 Luck- -1 Defence- -3 Resistance- 1 *Support Options are all people he can Marriage or Buddy Seal with, feel free to post about any of his supports and discuss them.*

So I was checking up on the merchandise and I noticed this: http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B014WAN3WU/ref=s9_psimh_gw_p14_d2_i2?pf_rd_m=AN1VRQENFRJN5&pf_rd_s=desktop-1&pf_rd_r=0YZV5QNR0W1V431EVWEC&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=207655209&pf_rd_i=desktop A calendar for Fire Emblem Fates will be released in November/December (some retailers had different dates). So I was wondering....do you think the official art of the other characters done by Kozaki will be in in it? Just curious to hear your opinions!

Much to my surprise, there wasn't a topic that really discussed this aspect of the new class designs. As the title states, pick the classes you believe are well designed, even if they aren't necessarily your favorite class in the game. The designs are based off of the generic portraits rather than the playable characters. Without further ado, here are some of mine: Nohr: Outlaw Hero Adventurer Mercenary Garou Maid/Butler Hoshido: Elite Ninja Puppeteer Trueblade Holy Lancer Nine-Tailed Fox Other: Dread Fighter Ballistician Vanguard Witch

Ever since the DLC for Fire Emblem: IF / Fates came out, there have been things that were bothering me. I'd like to share them with you and am interested to hear your opinion on them as well! Everyone has different options, so feel free to agree or disagree with me on certain parts. I apologise if this post may be long, but I hope you'll bear with me. Anna the Outlaw Anna has always been a popular character in the Fire Emblem franchise. She's the face of many stores in previous Fire Emblem games, the gatekeeper in Awakening and the store attendant in Genei Ibun Roku #FE. Anna is a character that everyone who played Fire Emblem knows and she's a very popular character as well. In IF / Fates, Anna is now a paid DLC character. You can't get her through normal means, unless you pay for her. Just like the other units, she has supports, full skinship functionality and marriage options. Anna might be the gatekeeper for the Dragon's Gate, but that still is no excuse for making her paid DLC in my opinion. For such a popular, loved character, I think it's truly disrespectful to put her as paid DLC. Invisible Kingdom: Beginning & Conclusion Honestly, I don't really have any good word to say about this one. I did really enjoy it, but already having to pay for the Invisible Kingdom and then making you pay again for backstory? Luna, Odin & Lazward mention that they're actually Severa, Owain & Inigo in a conversation with Kamui, yet the game never references back to it unless you get the DLC. It's part of the story. The story that is already divided in 3 games making you have to buy all 3 paths to get a full story. Weapon DLC (Duelist Museum) Once you complete the game and buy every limited-stock item you can buy, the shops never restock. They'll only have the normal infinitely-stocked items that - although some are useful - aren't anything special. If you want the stronger, better and more unique weapons and want to forge those weapons (seeing as you need duplicates of the weapon you want to forge), you'll have to buy the weapon DLC. DLC Skills I'm fine with the DLC classes, as they don't have broken stats or anything. However, the skills can be a problem. Skills such as Aether, Rally Spectrum, Ignis, Shadowgift, Warp & Witch's Poison are all very effective and useful skills to have on your units, yet are all locked behind a paywall in a way (I know you can get Aether from Great Lord as well, yet you only get 1 Great Lord seal). Skills that other than Warp & Witch's Poison have been in Awakening before and have proven themselves very useful. If you're planning on playing Online Multiplayer, it's a safe bet you'll see lots of people using these skills (especially Warp & Rally Spectrum), seeing as they're extremely useful and Warp is completely broken in battle. They give you a high advantage in combat. Of course, I'm not saying it's not possible to beat people with these skills, but they do have an big advantage. Although there are still other questionable DLC items on my mind (and other stuff regarding the game), I don't want to make this post too long or a pain for people to read. Please don't get me wrong, I highly enjoy the game. I know DLC is optional, but these especially have been bugging me and would like to hear what you all think of the DLC released so far. Thank you all very much for your time reading this!

This is the feedback topic for Fire Emblem Fates: Double-Edged Destiny:http://serenesforest.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=57552. For those who did not go to this older topic right here:http://serenesforest.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=56049 and read bits and pieces of the story itself as it progressed and discuss it, this is the place to do that. For anyone who has not spoken with me before, I would like for you to know that I will take constructive criticism if that's what you want to write. You can tell me why you (dis)like something in the story and you may explain why you feel like that (you can choose not to though I would really like if you did), but I will not tolerate meaningless rants or irrational hatred at all. Everyone has preferences and we should respect them to maintain a healthy discussion and avoid clawing at each other's throats. That is all I would like to say for now other than I await your thoughts on this story.

Hey-oh everyone, this is Blue Sun on the air with you all. This next story series is something I’ve been working on for the past few months, and I’m proud to say that I’m finally ready to publish it. Bear in mind that with all adaptations that I make there will be some changes here and there to not make the story feel like a strict novelization, but I will not make the adaptation extremely unrecognizable from the source material. I have a major shout-out to all the people I've talked with here (especially Taka-kun and Luankachu) and my good friend Hank, all of whom provided welcomed feedback and walked with me get it to where it is now. The new discussion thread for this story is over here:http://serenesforest.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=57554.

Where were they? Maybe they were outside; where they laid felt soft and solid like earth, and blades of grass tickled their soles. Were they dead? It didn’t seem so; they felt winded but they didn’t feel out of the ordinary. “Hey…wake up…” a nearby voice said. It was soothing yet urgent, and it was very familiar. “Please, wake up…we need you out here…” What was happening? Whatever it was it sounded important judging the tone of the speaker’s voice. The figure’s eyes slowly opened and the first thing they saw was a worried young woman with bright hair staring down at them. Beside her was a teenaged boy and a very young girl who shared the woman’s expression. The figure’s memory was foggy but it all started to come back to them. Hoshido Side Theme – Map E2R “H-Hinoka?” the awakened figure spoke. “Are you okay Kamui?” the woman asked as she ran a hand through the figure’s head looking for anything abnormal. After several seconds passed she sighed in relief and managed to smile. “Thank the Divine Dragon above that you’re fine.” “This is Kamui we’re talking about sis,” the teenage boy said. “Nothing gets him down for long.” “I know that Takumi but I still can’t help fretting over him when he’s hurt.” “Afraid that you’ll lose him like our parents and our other sister? Like I’ve said he’s tough to take out. And besides, if he was ever in serious trouble I’d be dead before that happened. Look who’s still here.” “Um, Hinoka, Takumi?” the young girl spoke. “Shouldn’t we…” “Oh, of course Sakura,” Hinoka said getting back on track. “Now Kamui, this is probably going to scare you but we’re right out in the fields battling the Nohrian army.” “The Nohrian army?” Kamui asked. “Wait, you don’t mean that—” “Yes: we’re at war with our western neighbor, the Kingdom of Nohr. Prince Xander is leading the army and invading our home ,and we need you in good condition to help us drive them back. This will be your first…no, this will be your second real fight, and just like with the Faceless I have to ask you to not hold back against our enemies.” “I…Does that mean I have to—” “Yes,” Takumi said. “You’re going to have to kill some people here. It’s not going to be like how you’ve killed Faceless or how you went full-on oni on the Nohrians as a dragon before. You’re going to be killing living people.” “Oh, okay…I never thought we’d end up fighting a war so soon. I—wait a minute, where’s Suzukaze and Felicia?” “They’re recovering back home. They have orders to come straight here once they recover enough to fight.” “That’s good. We’ll need all the help we can get. By the way Hinoka, how does everything looking so far?” “We have the advantage in that this is our territory, and we’re all very familiar with it aside of yourself.” Hinoka answered. “On the other hand we’re not truly prepared for invasions; we’re a defense force trained to defend our kingdom from brigands within it. If left unchecked Nohr’s army will trample over us in every sense of the word.” “My Wind God Yumi can pick off some troops from a distance,” Takumi said, “but if they start getting up close and personal them I’m very much screwed.” “And Sakura is not ready for combat just yet.” Sakura didn’t like being reminded of that fact but she only gave a meek nod in response. “We’re not doing so well are we?” Kamui asked. “I’m not really sure myself. With all of that being said here’s a silver katana, a short sword, a flying dagger, and a mist-blade for you to use. Aqua gave us this ‘dragonstone’ for you before she left, but I’m not sure if you should be using it so soon.” “Hold on a second, if Prince Xander is here, then wouldn’t that also mean that…” Kamui trailed off, turning blue in the face after a scary thought came to him. “…Hinoka? On a scale of one to ten, how ready are we to take on revenant knights and dark knights?” “Together or separate—” “And a Nohrian princess who can transform into a dragon?” “……Together or separately?” “Together.” “……Two out of ten.” “Yikes. Well thanks for the heads up; now we know who to avoid out here.” “I’d say we have a fifty-fifty chance against them,” Takumi said. “Sure, they may be more experienced than us, but if we use our heads and put them together we might pull through. I have a strategy that might work: I’ll take on Princess Camilla since I have the perfect anti-flier weapon despite my disadvantages against her. Hinoka, you engage Prince Leo; you’re good at handling magical fighters like him and you always has a weapon triangle advantage regardless of what he chooses. Sounds good so far?” “Sounds reasonable enough,” Sakura said. “Sounds good to me,” Kamui said in agreement. “Sounds suicidal Takumi,” Hinoka retorted. “They’re said to be the elites of Nohr’s army second only to Prince Xander and King Garon themselves. And you still didn’t give us a guideline on how to deal with…Corrin…” “I was working on that,” Takumi said ignoring Hinoka’s tense tone. “She can turn into a dragon just like Kamui said, but we have no anti-dragon weapons aside of a Dragon God – Fifth Earthly Branch spell, and we don’t have any yin-yang masters who can wield one if we had one anyways. So my suggested course of action is to pelt her with our long-ranged units while she’s occupied with our close-ranged units. If she’s anything like Kamui she likely doesn’t have good control over her dragon form either.” Kamui shot Takumi an offended glare that was ignored as the Hoshidan archer pondered more possibilities. “If she decides not to transform then she can be easily dealt with by reverse clubs, shuriken, reverse yumi, and any naginata aside of reversed ones. She’s just as skilled as the other Nohrian royals and just as powerful when she’s not transformed, so we should either pair up good offense units with defensive or speedy support units, or we should have some very balanced units pair up and deal with her.” “…Wait Takumi, I think I have an idea,” Kamui said. “Why not have me go and deal with her? I’m worried about how the rest of the army would handle a dragon, let alone her. With me using my own dragonstone I can fight fire with fire.” Takumi looked at him as if he had said a dumb joke before he broke out laughing; after that he faced his elder brother with a deadpan stare. “That’s stupid Kamui. Don’t be stupid.” “I’m serious. If Corrin is going to turn into a dragon then why not match her strength for strength?” “Because I know that that’s a bad idea. You never fight fire with fire because that only creates more fire to deal with and a stagnation scenario where neither side is winning; we need to crush them, not make things even between us. And whoever invented that ‘fight fire with fire’ mentality should be shot, preferably with something on fire for irony.” “Come now Takumi, Kamui does have a point,” Hinoka said. “Dragons are far superior to us humans even if some members of our kind possess dragon blood in their veins. We can still overwhelm Corrin through strength of numbers like you suggested, but I’d rather have Kamui be the one to take her on rather than our other troops; he’s fought her before and other troops may attempt to kill her.” Takumi didn’t respond with an answer, opting to mumble to himself in annoyance. “Um, not to interrupt, but isn’t there someone else that we’re forgetting about?” Sakura suddenly asked. “I’ve heard that the royal family of Nohr has a fifth member.” “You mean Princess Elise?” Takumi answered. “I wouldn’t worry so much about her compared to her other siblings seeing how she’s the baby of the bunch like you, but she shouldn’t be overlooked. Elise’ll be able to reach Nohr’s wounded in ‘what am I even looking at’ speeds and her magic rivals Orochi’s, the best spellcaster we have. Even so, try not to attack her until the others are down or at least capture her to kill the Nohrian army’s morale, otherwise we’re likely to make it out disfigured and in pieces or get killed.” “We’re taking someone hostage? But, isn’t that dishonorable brother?” “All’s fair in love and war Sakura, even kidnapping and murder; well maybe not when it comes to love but you get the idea. It’s best that you learn this now rather than later or never; same thing goes for you Kamui.” Kamui gave a slow nod, not liking the fact that he may have to take another’s life. “Then it’s settled,” Hinoka said. “When we take on the royal family we know what to do. Oh, and…Takumi?” “Yes Hinoka?” “Try your absolute best to not kill Corrin. I understand that she’s spent quite some time in Nohr and that she’s our enemy right now, but—” “Spare me the lecture sis. I get the ‘she’s still family’ spiel and all that other jazz about trying to find her for so many years—plus Ryouma’s going to tan my hide raw if I do—but please, please do not tell me to take it easy on her, otherwise that’s really crossing a line given her actions as of late.” “Very well then, so long as you remember what I told you. But we’ve talked long enough; on to victory for Hoshido!” Hinoka and Takumi held their weapons skyward while Kamui and Sakura gave short nods. The sibling quartet marched off to catch up to Ryouma and help him drive the Nohrians out of their home. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​- Nohr Side “Had a nice nap sleeping beauty?” a sarcastic voice came. “I told you that pushing yourself with your dragonstone is killer sis.” “Save the sass for later Leo and just help me up,” a feminine figure spoke. “Are you alright my dear Corrin?” an older female’s voice asked as she and Leo pulled their sister to her feet. “You were out for quite some time.” “Oh of course Camilla, I’m very much fine; nothing like waking up in the middle of nowhere which is working wonders for my psyche.” “I apologize for the inconvenience, but it is urgent that you attend this battle with us; this day is the day that new history between the kingdoms of Nohr and Hoshido shall be written.” “And it’s going to be written in blood, either our enemies’ or our own based on what we do here,” Leo added. “And I’d like to keep my own blood strictly inside of me thank you very much,” the youngest sister of the family said, “not that I really want anyone’s blood to be spilled to begin with but, ah, it can’t be helped by this point.” “Oh, hello there Elise, I didn’t see you th—” It was then that Corrin noticed something seemed off; she looked around for any sign of fighting and found that they all were quite removed from the battlefield. “Wait just a minute; didn’t you all just say that we’re fighting the Kingdom of Hoshido?” “We are,” Leo answered, “but Xander ordered us to hang back from the fighting until you were finished up with your trip to dreamland.” “So that means that Xander is already up ahead,” Corrin said ignoring Leo’s jest. “Yup!” Elise confirmed. “He said that he didn’t want you using your dragonstone again so soon but Leo convinced him that you’ll need it for the battle.” “It’s a good thing that we’ve been studying the Hoshidan army in preparation for this,” Leo said with a confident grin. “Prince Ryouma’s come to challenge Xander as expected, and it’s not just him either; Princess Hinoka, Prince Takumi, Princess Sakura, and even…Kamui…are all accounted for.” “Kamui?” Corrin asked gaining a hostile edge to her voice. “You mean that he’s here? Now?” “Yes, and I know that you’re still upset over what happened between you two but let’s try to keep a cool head here sis; cooler heads don’t make mistakes that they’ll immediately regret at the very least.” “…True…still, when I do see him again I will let him have it.” “Try not to kill him, alright?” “I am not promising anything but I will make an effort to try to restrain myself by however much is necessary. Anyways, what of the other royal siblings? How do we deal with them?” “I’m glad that you asked. First off, we’re not going up against Ryouma, period; if you wanted suicide you’re better off doing it yourself. Next there’s Princess Hinoka; she’s a pegasus warrior but we have little bow wielders in our army. She can handle magic fairly well, but pegasus warriors are physically frail, so Camilla will handle her being the strongest of us. A few well-placed swings from a physical axe will bring Hinoka to her knees. Then there’s Prince Takumi; the guy’s a huge threat against a lot of our troops and especially against—but needless to say—our flying units. The only thing that’s stopping him from cutting through our forces like a hot knife on butter is the same glaring weakness that all bow-wielders possess: they’re total pushovers up close, and he’s particularly terrible at handling magic attacks. That’s where I come in, using one of my magic swords or Brynhildr to shred him like the paper tiger he is. If he has a reverse yumi though, I’m very much screwed, so I’ll keep an eye out for that. After him is Princess Sakura; she’s the priestess of the group and thus should be of a higher priority than her older siblings because of her ability wield many different types of batons. Capture her to lower the Hoshidans’ morale but don’t harm her under any circumstances if you want to make it out of this battle in one piece. And of course, there’s Prince Kamui; he’s a katana wielder similar to you and can transform into a dragon, which is unsurprising since he’s your twin.” “Something I wish I had remembered,” Corrin said with a sour face. “But at least we know for sure by now.” “And knowing is half the battle. By the way, I managed to snag this for you to use against him.” Leo handed Corrin a large and jagged sword, causing her eyes to widen. “This is—” “A wyrmslayer. It’s very effective against dragon units and almost any experienced sword-wielder can use it, but it’s not so great when used against anything else. And I got you your dragonstone+, a brave sword, a levin sword, and Ragnarök for use against anything that isn’t Kamui.” “‘Anything that is not Kamui’ implies that they have no dragons in Hoshido aside of him.” “Correct.” “Well, at least we are off on the right foot. And…what about Hoshido’s hallowed treasures?” “All of them are accounted for, even the Holy Night Blade from the spies’ reports.” “…We are really getting off on the right foot today. All five hallowed treasures in one place…I can hardly contain my excitement.” “They say that whosoever gathers all five of them shall be nigh-unstoppable,” Camilla said. “Xander’s Siegfried and Leo’s Brynhildr are two of the five treasures.” “And I know for a fact that Ryouma wields the Thunder God Katana while Takumi wields the Wind God Yumi. I don’t know who would have the Holy Night Blade though.” “Ryouma currently has it but he’s not actually wielding it in battle.” Leo said. “I believe that he may be plotting to use it for something later or maybe it’s just for show.” “Whatever the case is, the Holy Night Blade will be ours to command,” Corrin added grinning confidently, “and the conquest of Hoshido will be child’s play once we finally have it in our grasp.” “I can’t help but agree with that one Corrin, and just wait when we unlock its true power.” “Well then, if the game is to procure these hallowed treasures…” Camilla said. “Then let’s play!” Elise finished. “On to victory for Nohr!” With their plan set the Nohrian quartet made their way toward the battlefield where their eldest brother waited for their return. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​-​ Theme – Crisis E1 Ryouma clutched the Thunder God Katana in his hand so tight that one would have thought he saw it as a part of his own body. He took a small group of samurai, lancers, and pegasus warriors with him as he sprinted to where the Nohrian invaders were. Once he and his troops crossed a bridge across the river, they were all met with the sight of soldiers in formation as they awaited their orders. “Nothing like a good ol’-fashioned home invasion taken to its logical extreme,” Ryouma said in annoyance. “Well, brothers and sisters in-arms, the only way past is to cut through these soldiers. Any objections?” The only sound heard was a few murmurs from the soldiers across from them and the obligatory cricket chirping nearby. “My thoughts exactly.” “Lord Ryouma, look atop that hill!” one of his troops announced. “Is that mounted man in black armor the Kingdom of Nohr’s first prince, ‘Xander’?” “Where‽” His eyes were led by a samurai’s finger to a lone, conspicuous hill, and on that hill stood the very object of his ire: Xander. “Yeah, that has to be him; no one would ever make themselves that noticeable unless they wanted to be seen, and Xander must want me to see him.” Xander himself had already spotted the Hoshido prince before he made it across the bridge, regarding him with a calm and calculated gaze. “So this is the crown prince of Hoshido,” he said to himself. “He resembles his father so strongly and he even wields the Thunder God Katana just like him. No matter though; his heritage to the former king will not pull him through this battle.” A distant sound caught his ears and he turned to spot the source; it was his siblings all on their way to the site of war, with none looking worse for wear. He would’ve smiled at the sight had the atmosphere not been as tense as his father was during his off days. With everyone in the Nohrian army present he gave the signal for the soldiers to advance and attack; Ryouma saw this and with a mighty shout he charged forward, leading his entourage into the fray. Ryouma cut down the first soldier he came into contact with, sending a powerful shock through their body that left them a convulsing, sizzling heap. To avoid getting hit he quickly leapt into the air and footstool jumped off of a dozen of his enemies, distracting them while his troops rushed through them. Once he was touching down on ground once more he was greeted by several soldiers surrounding him; they didn’t last very long against him as he took them all out with a small number of wide-horizontal slashes, sending electricity everywhere he swung. Behind him were his troops who caught up with him, passing him by as they advanced ahead to engage the enemy; he stood to his feet and directed a fierce glare to the Nohrian army before him. “Behold, Nohrian troops,” Ryouma announced, “for I am the Kingdom of Hoshido’s first prince: Yamato Ryouma!” The Hoshido prince then directed his finger toward his Nohrian nemesis. “I challenge your commander to a one-on-one duel to end this bloody conflict between us once and for all!” “…Behold, Hoshido troops,” Xander spoke, “for I am the first and crown prince of the Kingdom of Nohr: Xander Plantagenet. If it is a duel you seek from me then it is a duel you shall receive, but I shall warn you; this hallowed sword of Nohr shall be the last thing you’ll ever lay eyes upon!” Emphasizing his point, Xander drew forth his weapon – Siegfried – and a dark miasma erupted around the blade, shrouding it in thick darkness. With a war cry of his own he and his horse leapt down from the hill and landed perfectly in attack mode, slicing through several Hoshido samurai in his path without skipping a beat. Seeing the sight of his enemy barreling toward him made the Hoshido prince sprint at full speed to meet his galloping opponent; both men lunged straight at each other with their weapons aimed at their nemesis, and when the weapons clashed with each other in a display of bright sparks, the war had truly begun.

With Anna becoming a playable character next week (September 24), I'm beginning to wonder if any more characters will be added to the roster, but it's been almost about 2 months since all three paths have been released and we haven't heard any news about the Spotpass feature. Now I know there is a Spotpass feature in the Extra's menu in the main menu based on this picture: (This was part of an English Patch translation) I did a recent post about possible Spotpass characters but since Anna is being released next week, I thought that they may be activating Spotpass during than, as maybe they would start the process of new character recruitment, and I KNOW they won't make us pay for them, being that while Anna was not included in the game itself, all of the others were. If anyone has any news about any upcoming Spotpass features, please let all of us know. Otherwise, please leave your thoughts down below and let us know what you think.

I was looking at the list for accessories in the Accessory Shop and I haven't found any ways to obtain for some certain ones: -Dark Crown -Hoshidan Mask -Love Bracelet -Emblem Shield -Love Swimsuit So, does anyone know how these accessories are obtained?

It's been bothering me. I love Fire Emblem and the new character customazation but in Fates can you change your class? Videos show people playing as the default lord but what if I want to be a Shinobi or a Swordmaster? Am I doomed to restrictions? I'll still get it either way. Anyway, I'd like to know. Thanks guys.

Hey Guys, I was just wondering if anyone has the sprite art for Hooded Hydra? I would really like it for MU's family tree. I can't find it anywhere at all (I checked the spriters resource as well and heaps of other places). Any help is appreciated, thanks. :)

I was reading a post by Captain Karnage about Anna possibly being a Spotpass character and how her data is already inside the game and as I was wondering if she was the only one being released (if they ever get to Spotpass, that is ), I began to wonder: Maybe with each version of the game, they'll be releasing a set number of specific Spotpass characters for each route like they did for Awakening For example: Birthright -Anna -Leo -Camilla -Mikoto (If they suddenly pull an Emmeryn that changes the epilogue of Birthright) -Lala (maybe?) Conquest -Anna -Sakura -Hinoka -Shenmei (Like Mikoto above but maybe being completely revived from the dead?) -Clear Invisible Kingdom -Anna -Mikoto -Shenmei -Sumeragi -Garon / Human Lilith (I'm willing that from Mikoto to Garon, they'll pull Yen'fay's and come from alternate Outrealms for some specific reason) I'm not saying I"m right. I'm just saying that it may be possible. I mean, the Spotpass characters from Awakening were all on the cartage and it's pretty much the same for the characters above too. (Expect for Lala who may be treated like Priam) Anyways, that's my theory. What do you guys think?

Hey Guys, I was just wondering if anybody knew where to find the music that played in the Invisible History DLC?

So, I know that the second seal doesn't reset the level anymore, and the eternal seal will raise your max level when used at level 20, but can it only be used once per character? When you use second seal, can you apply the Eternal seal again or do you now stay level 25, not 20? I am mostly worried about how I will be able to max out my character stats this time around in Fates, assuming I can at all without needing stat-boosting items.

Just a quick question for those who have used the Lv15 Dark Blood skill. If the avatar/child character who has this skill equipped is partnered with someone with an skill like Astra or Lethality, do they have a chance of triggering it or is it only non-combat skills?

So I'm currently playing the game on a 3DS with 9.0.0-20 firmware. I use it in a 9.4.0-21U EmuNand as a cia. The cia was built from the rom I dumped from my retail copy of the Special edition which I know supposedly gives you the 3rd path free, but it wasn't available on launch so it's not pre-downloaded. I'm curious as to how I can get access to the 3rd path and/or DLC? Thanks in advance!

I did a Felicia VS Joker Poll here~ so I think it would be fair for some sister rivalry! (If there wasn't already enough...excuse me for a moment) VS

I don't know if this has been asked or answered already but I can't seem to find anything so if anyone could help, that would be much appreciated, but here is my question: Have ANY of the Critical Hit/Skill activation quotes been translated? I'm really interested to see them. (More specifically, do Odin, Lazward and Luna have the same critical hit/skill activation quotes from their real identities from Awakening or are they different or vaguely reference their awakening quotes? And do Gray, Matoi and Shara have the same critical hit/skill activation quotes as their previous selves from Awakening? Or are they new/vaguely reference their awakening quotes?) Thanks in advance to anyone who helps!

Good day everyone. With the last thread closed down all of the main characters have their names set in stone. Moving on to the more important matters, I'm ready to get the two stories started. As I have discussed in private with a few others (Taka-kun, Luankachu, and Emperor Hardin) the two storiesthat I plan on writing are forms of adaptations of Fates proper, but to make sure that there is absolutely no confusion as to what I mean when I say two stories, this is what I mean: the first story that I will start working on is an adaptation of both Birthright's and Conquest's plots combined, and the second story that I will start working on (either simultaneously alongside the first story or after the first story is finished) is an adaptation of the Invisible Demon Kingdom's plot. DLC episodes will be considered much later given that almost none of it has been released yet (aside of the third path of course). And just like with Reawakening there will be some changes here and there to the original stories as to not make them strictly novelizations. To even start writing of course, I need a thorough understanding of Fates's original plot (as well as supports) so that I can make changes or make the unchanged original parts of the story easier to understand. As such, I will need someone who is good with understanding Japanese and can translate Fates fairly well. I myself will look for anything of Fates that's subbed and make comparisons between each sub. This will make the releases of each chapter somewhat long. Since I'll be working on the first story first (natch), I'll inform you of one crucial detail that applies to both stories but has a little more relevance in the first one: there are two Avatars. The male twin Avatar is named Yamato Kamui who was primarily raised in Byakuya (a.k.a. Hoshido by Nohrians) , and the female twin Avatar is named Corrin Plantagenet who was primarily raised in Nohr (a.k.a. An'ya by people from Byakuya). They will both be based on their appearances in official artwork and have their own personalities that act as contrasts to each other. Since I know how the Prologue/Chapter 0 goes, it shouldn't be very difficult to write it.

What codes would you like to see? I believe JP has their own version of Powersaves, although I don't know what codes they have so far for IF...

Does anybody know where to view pictures of the accessories available in the Accessory Shop? I was looking at the accessory shop list (http://serenesforest.net/fire-emblem-fates/my-castle/accessory-shop/) and got curious about what each of these accessories looked like (especially 'Fell Dragon Feather' and 'Love Bracelet'). Also, do these items make a noticeable difference to damage dealt/received when fighting in an opponents My Castle?

Since I haven't found this topic anywhere, I decided to create one myself for everyone who wants to share ending epilogues of the characters, married or not. The only one I've found so far is the one with Marx and F!Kamui married: http://prevolt.tumblr.com/post/123625160926/can-you-translate-epilogue-marx-and-femkamui

Hi, I was just flicking through Fire Emblem: Fates' Japanese Miiverse page, and I found a couple of pictures for people to translate. These pictures aren't mine as they belong to several users on the Japanese Miiverse page for these games, but I'm curious as to what they say. So...
