Merchandise: Roy & Lilina 1/7-scale Figures Arriving September/October 2023!

Nintendo and Intelligent Systems have revealed not one, but two new scale figures–this time of Roy and Lilina from Binding Blade, which celebrated its 20th anniversary back in March.

These are collectively the 5th set of figures, in Intelligent System’s range of Fire Emblem scale figures. The previous figure was female Byleth, which releases on February 2023.

Roy’s figure will be releasing on October 2023, while Lilina’s figure arrives a bit earlier on September 2023. Pre-orders are open now, such as via Good Smile Company (Roy / Lilina). Each figure has a RRP of 29,700 Yen.

You can find multiple photos of both figures via the GSC links above and also from Intelligent System’s website. Of note, there are 360 degree videos for each figure (Roy / Lilina).

Additionally, Eiji Kaneda–the official artist for Binding Blade–designed the artwork for the figures and also shared a message on IS’s website.

Heroes: “Bridal Blossoms” is Roy’s Luckiest Day!

It’s wedding season in Fire Emblem Heroes again and, this time, we have a fully Binding Blade line up!

Note: You can check out the Japanese version of this trailer here.

On top of that, the featured Heroes are all potential brides of Roy (Lilina, Sophia and Cecilia), Roy himself and his father.

Additionally, Larum: Dancing Bride (the other Hero from the silhouette, alongside Sophia) will be the Tempest Trials reward.

Poor Sue didn’t make the cut though. Meanwhile, Shanna was introduced in last year’s bridal banner.

Anyway, please continue for a breakdown of the Heroes from the trailer!

Heroes: “Princess of Bern” Introduces More Allies from Binding Blade!

Well, well, it seems fans have cracked the code to predict which game the next New Heroes are bound to be from. This time, Binding Blade gets another chance to shine, in the upcoming “Princess of Bern” summoning event.

Note: You can check out the Japanese version of this trailer here.

Starting from 17th November 2020 (UTC), the following Heroes will make their debut: Melady, Dieck, Merlinus and Guinevere. Merlinus will also be available as a 4-star focus Hero. Then on the following day, Galle: Azure Rider can be challenge in a new Grand Hero Battle.

It’s very interesting to see Merlinus as a Hero, since–although he was a unit in the games he appeared in–he couldn’t fight. Also, Guinivere and Galle could be obtained in Binding Blade, but you had to beat the game 9 times and twice respectively to unlock them.

By the way, aside from the upcoming Mythic Hero, the next bunch of Heroes will be “New Heroes” again. This time, however, it’s probably not possible to predict them, since the calendar doesn’t go far enough into the future.

Anyway, please continue reading to learn about the new Heroes!

Cipher: Spring 2019 Livestream (S17 reveals, S18 artwork and S19 titles) & Twitter Reveals

On 25th May, the Fire Emblem Cipher team held their Spring 2019 livestream–the second seasonal one of the year. The hosts were Ryota Kawade, Young, and Eri Suzuki.

Note: Images were taken from @kizuna_fecipher.

The main agenda was to discuss the upcoming Series 17: “The Advance of All Heroes”. This series breaks the usual trends of featuring a small number of factions by including not just every faction but every single game title.

Above is the official list of featured games. I won’t bother naming them all, but it’s all the mainline games from the first up to Echoes and including Heroes and Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE. Unless I missed it, Warriors is not advertised, despite having cards in the past.

Besides that, the original Cipher mascots will make an appearance in Series 17 too. Above are Emma and Shade, the first pair of mascots, in the Falcon Knight and Dark Sage classes respectively.

Also, although Three Houses isn’t a featured title (because it’s a bit too new by the time the Series 17 releases), there will be cards for it, in the form of booster box “preview” promos. It seems everyone will get 2 of the 4 cards per box.
