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

December 8, 2022 FE Engage, News No comments

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 Hopes: Character & Class Profiles from Twitter

May 13, 2022 FE Warriors: Three Hopes, News No comments

Following the release of the Mysterious Mercenary trailer for Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, the official Japanese Twitter account has been regularly tweeting commentary for the trailer.

Although most of the information is pretty straightforward and self-explanatory, there are a few interesting nuggets. Namely, they’ve recently shared profiles for some of the already shown characters and classes. (For the record, some of this info was already shared by Famitsu.)

Below are translations of those tweets.

Regarding the class profiles, the second half is likely referring to each character’s personal abilities. Judging by the information from Famitsu.

Also, we’ve repeated the protagonist’s and Arval’s profiles from a previous article, for convenience.

Protagonist (default name Shez)

VA: Tasuku Hatanaka & Miyu Tomita
A solitary mercenary. They sought to become a famed swordfighter, but faced Jeralt’s Mercenaries on a mission and was felled by the Ashen Demon. While training to seek revenge, they met the Officer’s Academy students in the woods.

Protagonist x Fleugel

Here are some action scenes featuring the protagonist’s exclusive class. Characterised by its nimble swordplay while dual wielding swords. The protagonist also has other hidden powers. Please look out for more details in the future.
