Ik vermoed, gezien de info uit onze direct, dat wij gewoon één enkele standaardversie krijgen met de keuze in chapter 6, en dat het andere pad dan niet gelocked wordt. In japan is het ook een budgetuitgave met de mogelijkheid het andere pad bij te kopen.

Ik denk dat het 'derde pad' DLC-pack dan los gaat verschijnen hier.

Het is jammer dat er geen nieuwe Advance wars meer is aangekondigd. Aangezien je hier basissen hebt en troepen bouwt heeft het toch een compleet andere gameplay dan fire emblem (het enige overeenkomstige is trouwens dat de games turned based zijn). Dit lijkt me een tof spel om op 3DS te hebben, maar ik denk dat je veel zou kunnen met een nieuwe Batallion wars op Wii U - als je bedenkt hoe gemakkelijk het zou zijn om diverse units te besturen met touchscreen en gyro, evenals makkelijk met touchscreen over te schakelen naar andere units.

Famitsu, one of the prominent Japanese gaming magazines, usually reaches consumers on Thursdays, but most of the time–thanks to ninjas or something–a lot of the important information leaks days in advance.

Just earlier today, Famitsu posted online that their upcoming issue would have a feature on Fire Emblem if, with plenty of new information; hours later, we now know a lot more about Fire Emblem if that we did before.

To begin with, perhaps the biggest news–and the one sure to create heated discussions amongst fans–is the introduction of a brand new mode, Phoenix Mode, where fallen characters are resurrected immediately on the next turn.

This new mode sits above the existing Casual Mode (fallen characters are resurrected after the mission’s end) and Classic Mode (fallen characters… stay fallen) on the mode selection screen and is likely intended for fans who struggle even on Casual Mode.


Before picking one of these modes, players can start the game on the Normal, Hard or Lunatic difficulty settings, just like in Awakening. Unlike that game though, there is the option to change your difficulty and mode mid-game, although it seems this change is irreversible.

Players who want to try a variety of difficulties and/or modes will be glad to know the game supports up to 9 save files. Each extra campaign (Hoshido, Nohr and the third route) is said to add 3 extra save files, so it’s likely you start with 3 save files like in Awakening.

Another radical change, although this time apparently not an option, is the removal of the weapon durability system. This change was already observed in previous screenshots, but at the time it wasn’t formally confirmed.

This was briefly discussed previously, but the Dual and Pair Up systems introduced in Awakening have been reworked slightly. It is difficult to tell from the small magazine images, but it seems two friendly units can adopt an Attack Stance or Guard Stance.

An Attack Stance occurs when a friendly unit is adjacent while attacking an enemy; the friendly unit will launch a follow up attack after the main unit attacks (i.e. Dual Strike). The Guard Stance, meanwhile, has two friendly units combining together, boosting the stats of the main unit (i.e. Pair Up).

Other than the different names, it’s unclear how exactly these stances differ from their Awakening counterparts. Curiously, characters have a “shield” gauge, which may be related to their ability to deflect enemy attacks while in a Guard Stance.

There’s also a tiny update regarding the optional battles in the Hoshido campaign (which aren’t in the Nohr campaign). It seems players must pay a fee (using in-game funds) to initiate a skirmish battle–a bit like purchasing Reeking Boxes in Awakening.

The rest of the information is about the characters, starting with the Avatar. Like in Awakening, players can customise their Avatar’s name, gender, appearance and voice. By default, they start in the Dark Prince or Dark Princess class.

In addition to the usual appearance choices, such as body, hair, hair colour and face, players can also select hair ornaments (female only?) and facial features. Oddly, there isn’t an option to change your Avatar’s eye colour (a hint that it has plot significance?).

This particular detail hasn’t been confirmed, but it seems the blue-haired songstress, Aqua, may be in a similar but reverse position as the Avatar. According to reports, she is the princess of Nohr taken prisoner by Hoshido. If you recall, the Avatar is the prince/princess of Hoshido raised by Nohr.

The magazine then briefly introduces the eight royal family members from Hoshido and Nohr.

On the Nohr side, we learn that Marx is a Paladin, Camilla is a Revenant Knight, Leon is a Dark Knight and little sister Elise is a Rod Knight.

As for the Hoshidans, Ryouma is sadly off-screen, Hinoka is a Pegasus Warrior, archer boy Takumi is a Bowman and Sakura is a Priestess.

Unfortunately, there has been some minor confusion because the English Nintendo Direct wasn’t very good at conveying this, but the eight characters are all the Avatar’s siblings (adopted in the case of Nohr).

Age-wise, Marx, Camilla, Ryouma and Hinoka are all older than the Avatar, so it’s extremely likely the order goes: Marx > Camilla > Avatar > Leon > Elise for Nohr and Ryouma > Hinoka > Avatar > Takumi > Sakura for Hoshdio.

It seems the Avatar isn’t the only person able to wield the “Dragon’s Vein” ability; apparently all the royal members have this ability and they can use it to create bridges, flatten mountains, cause earthquakes and other effects.

Again, the magazine images aren’t very clear, but it seems Hoshido and Nohr both revere the “Divine Ancestral Dragon(s)” and, in particular, the royal family members possess the blood of dragons. Because of this, they possess exceptional abilities, such as “Dragon’s Vein”.

Fire Emblem If will come in two different versions that have their own unique stories and difficulties, but the games will also bring a few new features and changes to the series. This week’s issue of Famitsu provides the latest details. [Thanks, Hachima]

The male protagonist is voiced by Nobunaga Shimazaki while the female protagonist is voiced by Satomi Sato. Similar to Fire Emblem Awakening, though, you’ll get to freely customize gender, looks, voice, and more. The unit type the protagonists will be are called “Dark Prince” and “Dark Princess”.

Fire Emblem If is split into two factions of the White and Black Kingdom. The White Kingdom has key characters such as Ryoma [CV: Yuichi Nakamura], Hinoka [CV: Kaori Nazuka], Takumi [CV: Yuki Kaji], and Sakura [CV: Hisako Kanemoto].

Meanwhile, the Black Kingdom has Marx [CV: Katsuyuki Konishi], Camila [CV: Miyuki Sawashiro], Leon [CV: Mamoru Miyano], and Elise [CV: Ayaka Suwa].

Fire Emblem If will have a the “Casual” mode that will allow your fallen units to return to your party after clearing the map, and will have an even easier mode called “Phoenix” mode, which revives fallen units on the following turn. This should make it easier for those that want to play the Black Kingdom story without the harder challenges holding them back. Keep in mind, however, that once you change a mode or difficulty setting, you will not be able to change it back.

Characters from the royal families have the abilities to make different changes on the battlefield with something known as the “Dragon Pulse”. Some examples of this include building bridges on the battlefield, causing earthquakes, flattening mountains, and all kinds of different changes to the maps.

There’s a total of nine save data slots, and with each additional DLC scenario, it will increase by three more save slots. Additionally, the limited number of times a weapon can be used has been abolished, so that means you won’t have to worry about keep buying the same weapon, or holding back on powerful or useful weapons, and you’ll mainly have to worry about which weapons to equip for certain fights, when given the choice.

Fire Emblem If will release in Japan on June 25, 2015 for Nintendo 3DS.

!!! Miyano in FE: if *_* Er is nog niks bekend over dual audio voor de Westerse release, toch? Awakening had het, dus ik hoop er iig op.
