Anyone who’s played a Fire Emblem game (which should be most of you) ought to find the stat-heavy screens at least vaguely familiar, despite the possible language barrier.

To begin with, the top-left panel features the unit’s portrait, name, class, Level, Experience and HP. In the example above, we have Zeid, the main character of the first game, who’s fittingly of the “Lord” class.

In the panel below, there’s the unit’s inventory along the left, followed by the weapon types that can be equipped in the corner. Right now, Zeid is packing a Lord Asral, Short Sword, Army Sword and Long Sword.

It’s been a while, but I’ve finally returned (and recuperated) from my vacation back in October. Thankfully Elieson has done an excellent job updating the front page and I’m pleased to say he’ll be continuing his role for the foreseeable future.

That said, you’ll continue to see me popping in every now and then, as there’s still a lot of things for me to cover. To begin with, let’s recap all the recent happenings relating to Shouzou Kaga’s new indie project, Vestaria Saga.

After formally introducing his project to the world via a gameplay trailer back in August, Kaga started posting frequent updates on his blog during early October, conveniently while I was away.

Of particular interest, on 22nd October 2015, Kaga made a detailed post in response to many comments he had received about his new project.

Vestaria Saga: First Trailer

August 9, 2015 News, Pre-Release, Vestaria Saga 9 comments

As promised in his previous blog post, Kaga has unveiled the first trailer for his new free indie game, Vestaria Saga: The Seven Sacred Rings, developed using the SRPG Studio software.

This “trailer” is actually a 30 minute-long video that showcases the game’s progress and features, and spans the first three chapters of the game (not in their entirety though).

According to Kaga, the project is currently 10% complete, although he’s still uncertain if it will reach completion. But from the look of things, he and his team of 15 volunteers are trying their best.

The video begins with the Prologue, where in typical Fire Emblem fashion, the protagonist, Zeid, is ordered by his brother, Zechs, to flee the nation before an impending invasion from an overpowering empire.
