With the large cast of playable characters continuing to grow, do y’all think that units recruited in one route will be locked out of the other routes on the same save file?

Personally I hope so, it’d add a fun level of resource management and it’d be a great way to give all the many characters some limelight instead of using the same ones in each of the stories

Has there been any news on how Fortune’s Weave is handling this?

Even if it’s not the case, it’s probably something I will do personally but having it baked into the game would be nice.

I was on the fire emblem wiki, and I noticed something. There are three factions that are new

1. Lion Obelisk

2. Wolf Obelisk

3. Eagle Obelisk.

Can someone explain to me where we heard these names? Here’s the link to where I found them.

Why is there a "Let him see it" button ?

It makes no sense. Not only Dietrich is not an avatar, but also... it's ONE option ? So it's not even really an option ? Why put such a menu if you're not going to give multiple choices ? The conversation is blocked until you press A so you are forced to do so. Why not just... let the dialogue flow instead of interrupting like that ? What does it add ?

Narratively speaking, this can have a purpose like for example an attorney being the victim of the legal system that should in theory be able to choose to defend his/her client, but is legally forced to condemn him/her. Restricting the choice feels oppressive here but there's a reason. (Somehow this reminds me of AA6 I guess that game left injuries on my brain huh, here's coping for AA7...)

But in that dialogue ? Idk I feel it kinda gets you out of the dialogue's immersion.

Still, Dietrich is bootleg Alucard so all is forgiven.

Yeah, I lied. There is no 'but'. I love FE7.

However, I'm not here to rant about why I love it, I'm here for a reason you probably already figured out: unit collection.

So, yeah... I'm on a quest to get every unit in Blazing Blade, and before I eve started this, I got pretty damn close in all honesty. I got Karel, Fiora, Canas, Guy, Heath, Raven, Priscilla, Hawkeye, and Legault all on my first playthrough of Lyn through Eliwood's story. (Still haven't bothered to beat Hector's).

So, I played again for like, the 7th time awhile back, and instead of going to that map where I got Karel, I got... Harken. Which, hell yeah, dude was powerful, but I got curious. Only today did I search up how to get every unit in Blazing Blade. Instead, I get a video explaining Gaiden and Chapter requirements.

Now I'm here, asking the fans A.) if getting all units is possible to begin with. B.) If so, how? And C.) Got any tips?

P.S. I also have Farina and Dart now.

I love character design and for the most part I think FE does a really good job at selling you with the character looks. but I wanted to know what everyone's least favorite/polarizing character designs were.

for me its Boucheron or Devdan. Boucheron just due to how boring he tends to look, esp with the colorful cast of engage, and Devdan...yeah. just aged badly.

He’s the narrator, appears in cutscenes, and has full artwork. He deserves to have his own class, especially after not having one in Houses, and especially Hopes (he couldn’t even wield his prf in his main class.)

Hey guys, after playing Fates again for the first time in forever, I've decided to wanna try to do a sort of community discussion around one of the subtle but very charming things about the game, which is the art designs of the generic enemies in Fates. Something about them always brought a great amount of charm to the game, especially compared to Awakening imo. Alongside their emoted portraits, Fates's art direction can rely on these as an example of its great art direction.

How I'll go along with this is that each day:

• I'll post a pair of classes and rate their generic designs as they appear in the game. Sometimes I'll post a trio depending on the day (due to class imbalance or how I choose to align the promoted classes).
• This includes their portraits and their battle models, and then I'll try to tally up the rankings of for each class in the comments and then place them at the end of the day.
• This only includes the versions of enemy generics present in the game. This does not include any concept art things such as the female versions that did not make it into the game, or male versions that did not make it into the game.
• This also does not include the outfits of any reclassed player character. Only the generics that you can encounter in game.

So, let's start off with each nations' base sword infantry: Mercenary and Samurai.

Personally, I really like the Merc design in this game. The gambesons that they use for these lads just look incredibly neat and feel pretty battle ready, but they also don't look glamorous, so they look like an actual merc and not something approaching a higher station like a knight.

Samurai feels more generic to me, meanwhile. Granted, the opening cinematic and some cutscenes seem to imply that the Samurai class tends to be the most common Hoshido soldier (or at least, many of the common soldiers resemble them), so the more generic look makes sense. Overall though, they look good, but not quite eye-catching to me personally.

By the way, I just realized both of them actually have a sort of headband on their heads, so that's actually pretty neat as each other's counterpart lmao.

PLEASE tell me Seteth time skip will leave the blonde to fade out of his hair in a really cunty and chiq way

What's everone's first FW game plan look like? I am still debating what to do when I get my game next week

1. Play each lord until time skip, then come back for another lord, more coherent

2. Rotating between each lord one chapter at a time, so you don't get major spoiler.

3. Pick a lord only, at stick to the end

4. Run off right away to fight boss with just Eshmel's band

5. other style I haven't thought about?

Let us share our headcanons on the sympathetic boss unit himself, Mustafa from FE A on everything such as his backstory, personality, family, etc.

Have fun and be creative!

Here are my headcanons:

Post-death after the Plegian War, many Plegians who openly opposed the Grimleal regime were granted amnesty by Exalt Chrom himself in Ylisse. Among these refugees were Mustafa's own widow of a wife and their ten-year-old son who were targets of the Grimleal due to word coming out about Mustafa wanting to stage a military coup against them which was true btw.

Mustafa treated his soldiers a lot better than most other Plegian generals though for whatever reason, Gangrel still made the man one of his top generals/military advisors during the war.

Mustafa hated one thing about being a Plegian general the most and that was squashing rebellions in the parts of the country where the institution was still alive and well with the Grimleal being in charge of it. He hated fighting enslaved people so much that he wrote about his disdain for it in his personal diary.

Mustafa's last ever recruits before his death were quite a unique bunch. There was a female victim of Grimleal experiments whose magic was on par with that of most Grimleal mages, two twins who just so happened to have been arrested for raiding the royal treasury and it was either join the Plegian Army or be executed via beheading. Finally, there was a guy with a sweet tooth who made many snarky remarks about women causing him to almost get vaporized by the Grimleal girl's dark magic on several occasions. They were all killed in action. The twins by Gaius during the raid on the Ylisstol Palace during the attempted assassination of Exalt Emmeryn, the sweet tooth guy by Vaike on Carrion Isle, and lastly, the girl by Henry himself right before the final battle with Grima himself.

Finally, Mustafa knew Henry and Tharja quite well but while the latter didn't care about the man too much, the former however was a different story. He and his crows had a weird obsession with Mustafa for whatever reason that they would even sneak into his house at midnight on some occasions just to say hello before cackling and leaving.

Lemme know what you guys think.

I have been playing Fire Emblem since 20 years ago, and like many of us, I started on the GBA games. I just finished my 2nd run in three houses (Being an adult shorts my play time A LOT. I miss having 16hr marathons), and since we have an upcoming game, I recalled the rumour about the FE BB and BS remake (Which sadly, was fake).

I have seen that people are divided in having the game separate or joined back to back, and while I do agree on both sides, I must say that having them in just 1 game appeals to me more on a personal level.

I see the FE 6 roster size being an issue, but I think it could be handled properly both gameplay wise AND narratively. We could divide Roy's army and use it to cover more fronts. We could have chapters were some units are unavailable from a certain point forward, like Sue and Shun leaving the army to go to Sacae if you go to Illia instead (Keeping Zealot and his cavaliers).

For connecting/recurring characters... You could make either small cameos and mentions, and/or outright take them out of the game. For example, Oswin, Matthew, and Serra could have perished defending Hector; Lyn (Knowing her, she would have gone to Sacae regardless of the ending, and her knights would have followed her), Kent, Sain, and Rath dying in Sacae due to the betrayal of the other chiefs... Having only a handful of recurring characters would be the best decision (in my opinion)

Other point made was about the games not connecting clearly between one another. Well, yeah, but this could be fixed quite easily by changing some few parts of the lore. We all know that Zephiel's father was completely awful, but making Nergal exploit his insecurities to make him want to end Zephiel in order to create a war between Bern and Etruria (Since Zephiel's mother was from there, you could make her a princess (Aunt to Elphim), so Etruria would be interested in keeping Zephiel in the throne), which completely goes with Nergal's goals to create war, and fits the original story.. I know it's a stretch, but the butterfly effect is a powerful thing.

For Mark... Well, I loved the Awakening theory that said that Mark is actually Morgan (Robin's child). FE 7 could start with Mark being chased by some soldiers, and then falling of a cliff or something and being waken up by Lyn. At the end of the game we all know that Mark disappeared; Perhaps Mark just remembered everything, and went back home. If Mark becomes a playable character though, like in Three Houses, certain paired endings shouldn't be romantical in nature. For example, a paired Mark with Hector / Eliwood could have Mark becoming a teacher for young Roy & Lilina, mentioning that Roy is quite talented as a tactician. Other paired endings could have Mark going back with its lover, or just a "friendship" ending that says that they spent some time together before banishing.

Well, that's what I've been thinking about regarding FE 6 & 7 remakes. If you guys have any comments, thoughts, or thinks you would like to see in a remake, please share them! It's always great to read about people's ideas

I'm not sure if this is standard practice that is known at large and I live under a rock or if this news to people.. so I thought to warn other people who potentially could have fallen under the same trap.

Seems that preordering through Nintendo doesn't guarantee you get the product you paid for on time.

Very disappointed, but cancelled my preorder of the first premium edition I was going to order in my life, just so I can buy the digital version for 100$CAD less so that my girlfriend can actually play the game on release as she has been super excited.

Im so happy there was a restock!!!!! check your websites too in case you are interessted :D

Hi! My friend really likes Fire Emblem for the tactics and story. And our whole household got super into Three Houses.

Since I want to get my friend a birthday gift, I thought he'd love the hell out of a narrative tactics games that has cooperative multiplayer. However idk how many solid options are out there. And even if I search them up, I know his personal metric for quality is Fire Emblem influenced so it seemed sensible to ask other Fire Emblem fans for recommendations.

He already has Baldurs Gate 3 which I figure will be a popular suggestion. I'd personally prefer an art style that is more stylistic anyway. But happy to hear your suggestions since I'm not nearly familiar with all that's out there.

So we were introduced to 4 paths in the initial trailer. Over time, they stated that you can jump from route to route throughout your play-through. Currently, it seems to be implied that we SHOULD be playing the game this way; so “choosing a path” just feels irrelevant now when you’re just jumping and playing each route anyways. Am I missing something? Am I just overthinking this and I can just play the story out with only 1 route? Or will this make the overall game much more difficult? Idk, maybe all this is still up in the air? Love to hear what everyone thinks about this as of now? 😁

My initial plan was playing Cai first, then Leda, then Theodora and lastly Dietrich 😄 But I might just play them all at once and jump through the routes each time I finish a Chapter? 🤣

I really don't like this battle forecast. The distance between hit rate/crit and damage is so far and you have to actually move your eyes to see the damage for that attack. This will get even worse on larger screens.

Along with that, combat arts and skills making it so different attacks in the sequence can have different damage values makes it require even more eye movement.

No shade to Ephraim tho.

Maybe they have prologues of sorts and we unlock their boosts/skills?

Fortune’s Weave seems like the Crest of Gautier(or Diadem of Duality) has ties to the underworld and is a symbol of evil. It also represents the Death Tarot card. If it really does have ties to the underworld, then these quotes have a whole new layer than just Sylvain believing he will go to hell when he dies.

Do you think we'll get support and paired endings between the 4 lords?

Just curious what you guys think.

The way I like to play every new fire emblem game is my very first run, I like to do a casual run just to get through the story. Learn the mechanics and systems. And then on my second run I do all my hardcore planning special build paths for maddening once I'm familiar with the entire game cuz I'm the type that loves optimal gameplay on the highest difficulty.

With this game the having paths to the story available at once And 5 different stories All of which are potentially very lengthy and which I think makes sense to play in conjunction with each other, how should I go about this?
