Fire Emblem Engage: Emblem Tiki Tidbits via Twitter

Note: I skipped over Pandreo’s profile for now.

I was curious if they would do it and they did. Today’s daily Fire Emblem Engage content is a better look at Emblem Tiki, who’s available in Wave 1 of the Expansion Pass.

Say “hi” to Tiki:

Emblem Tiki (VA: Sumire Morohoshi), also known as the Emblem of the Dragon Princess, is an innocent girl who carries the blood of the Divine Dragons.

A conversation with Tiki:

We saw bits of this in the Japanese Expansion Pass trailer. It seems to occur at the end of Tiki’s Divine Paralogue. From what she’s saying, I think we may run into other DLC Emblems in other paralogues.

Another look at Starsphere’s Protection:

Emblem Tiki’s Sync skill “Starsphere’s Protection” makes it easier for stats to increase during a Level Up. It’s a good idea to equip her bracelet on an ally that you want to make extra strong.

Fire Emblem Engage: Expansion Pack Announced & Tour of the Somniel Base!

I thought this might happen; I need a rest, Nintendo!

Anyway, at The Game Awards, Nintendo dropped a trailer for the Fire Emblem Engage Expansion Pass.

Wave 1 will release alongside the game on 20th January 2023, containing:

  • Emblem character – Edelgard, Dimitri & Claude
  • Emblem character – Tiki
  • In-game support items, accessories and Silver Card

Three additional waves will be released throughout 2023.

The trailer also confirms a theory that Eirika and Ephraim will be a shared Emblem.

Meanwhile, Nintendo Japan shared a more in-depth look at Wave 1, plus the future roadmap.

Wave 2

  • New Emblem(s)
  • New support items and accessories

Wave 3

  • New Emblem(s)

Wave 4

  • New story (with new characers, maps and story separate from the main game)
  • New classes

A new story isn’t unexpected, since we had Cindered Shadows for Three Houses. The expansion pass featuring Gradlon’s insignia makes me curious if it’ll explore the Fell Dragon’s sunken realm in more detail…

Also, Nintendo Japan shared a video tour of the Somniel base:

I’ll probably be analysing this video and the rest throughout the weekend, in-between work and sleep.

Oh, there’s more! Nintendo Japan posted a new Topics article covering the Expansion Pass and Somniel, but also sharing info for the 6 remaining Emblems!

Wait, it doesn’t stop there. The official site also updated, with profiles for all the retainers! Unbelievably, my guess for Kagetsu being Ivy’s retainer seems to be correct.

OK, seems like sleep might be off the menu for a while.

Three Houses: Famitsu DLC Interview via Nintendo Everything + Bonus Questions

Last week, Famitsu covered the launch of Three Houses’s Wave 4 DLC. At the very end, there was an interview with the directors about the DLC (past and present). Thanks to Nintendo Everything, this interview has been translated to English.

 

Most of the key points were already spoiled ahead of time, so there isn’t much new. Nonetheless, it’s an interesting read. The interview discusses the addition of Maddening Mode, why there wasn’t a “golden route”, as well as the inspiration behind the Ashen Wolves.

Recently, Famitsu posted the online version of the interview, which oddly has parts that are completely absent in the issue itself. You can find translations of those extra parts below.

Topics include the new DLC activities (specifically the sauna and interactions with cats and dogs), the hidden story branch (spoilers if you haven’t completed the game) and the main illustration for Cindered Shadows.

Three Houses: Version 1.2.0 (Wave 4 DLC) Now Available + Preliminary Findings

In case you missed it, Version 1.2.0 of Three Houses, which includes the Wave 4 DLC, is now available to download! This is the final planned DLC for the game.

To celebrate the DLC’s release, Nintendo shared a new piece of artwork of the Ashen Wolves students from the Cindered Shadows side story. This is the same artwork used for this week’s Famitsu cover.

Anyway, Cindered Shadows is the main highlight of the DLC, but it’s not the only thing! All players can enjoy the following:

  • Rhea added as a tea party option.
  • Dancer attire (not class) for the protagonist.
  • Option to easily change costumes from the activity selection screen.
  • New Bernadetta x Jeritza support conversations.

For more details about what 1.2.0 brings to the table, please check the official patch notes.

Now that Cindered Shadows is finally here, we’ve also updated several of our Three Houses pages with character, class and ability data. However, we haven’t had time to add everything just yet. Interestingly, some data has been changed since version 1.1.0.

Please continue if you don’t mind some mild spoilers.
