Fire Emblem “Castle Conversations” Returns with Joe Zieja & Erica Mendez

About a year and a half ago, the Western branch of Nintendo and Fire Emblem Heroes produced a Castle Conversations video, featuring multiple FE voice actors, as a parallel to the Japanese Roundtable videos.

While the 5th Roundtable video came out last week, we haven’t seen another Castle Conversations. Until now that is!

Volume 2 of Castle Conversations features Joe Zieja (voice of Claude, Canas and Jamke) and Erica Mendez (voice of Bernadetta and also the recent Legendary Deirdre).

Not actual game footage!

Interestingly, during the Erica Mendez section, Fehnix asks her to voice both Deirdre and also young Shannan in a scene from Genealogy of the Holy War. Since the game hasn’t been officially localised, this is probably the closest we’ll get for now.

This wouldn’t be the first time they showed off footage not from the games; in the first Castle Conversations, they seemingly showed pre-release footage from Three Houses. While this hasn’t been officially confirmed, apparently thanibomb (who leaked various Three Houses info) agrees with this.

Joe Zieja Three Houses 1st Anniversary Stream on 23rd July, 11 pm (UTC)

Calling all Fire Emblem voice actor fans! Joe Zieja–who provides the voice of the charismatic Claude von Riegan–will be hosting a special stream on 23rd July, at 11 pm (UTC) on his Twitch channel, to celebrate the upcoming one year anniversary of Three Houses.

Earlier, in the linked video, Joe shared details of what to look forward to during the anniversary celebration.

Firstly, between 25th and 26th July, there will be live signings by Joe himself, as well as Tara Platt (voice of Edelgard) and Chris Hackney (voice of Dimitri) via InstaGraph.

The prints used for the signings are of the house leaders’ timeskip designs, illustrated by @hellyonwhite. A neat touch is that the three prints can be joined together as one, similar to some Cipher artworks.

Secondly, the stream itself will kick-start Joe’s brand new playthrough of Three Houses, but this time after caving to peer pressure he’ll be teaching the Black Eagles.

Last and not least, Joe has collaborated with Family Jules to record a music video of “God Shattering Star”, the endgame track for the Golden Deer route. Fans will be able to enjoy a premiere on 23rd July, before the Black Eagles stream begins.
