Yay, Virion

Best blue hair

Shizuka · Sep 28, 2015

2016 GOTY material.

James Scott · Sep 28, 2015

This game is going to be pretty good.
Smart to get fan favorite Tharja in there

Tempy · Sep 28, 2015

Henry when.

Reset · Sep 28, 2015

Virion sucks though, a poor man's Sain. Should have gone with a different male character.

Aostia · Sep 28, 2015

Where is that user with that tharja avatar?!

I hope this means more Tharja figures.

Mariip · Sep 28, 2015

No Henry? ;-;

ohlawd · Sep 28, 2015

I hope Tharja's new design shows more skin

Let the deluge of info begin.

ohlawd pls

RMI · Sep 28, 2015

Noire is true best girl, but I'll settle for Tharja.

I've recently been having this fear that this game won't release on a disc in the west, because NoA. Hopefully it gets a proper release.

I wouldn't be surprised if he showed up, but not before Gaius, Cordelia, Severa and Inigo.

I'm sure they'll continue to merchandise her; no character cloned in Fates will be neglected.

Removing the pantyhose would miss the entire point of her design. Tearing it might be a good compromise, though.

Given Fire Emblem's worldwide resurgence, I think this will get a physical release.

ShinRPGamer · Sep 28, 2015

Virion: I like him. Interested to see his design
Draug: Meh. Not the most interesting Shadow Dragon character they could have picked.
Tharja: Nope, not a fan. Didn't like her in Awakening and I likely won't like her here.

Kouriozan · Sep 28, 2015

Oh my...
So Draug is the big dude people thought it was the Dark Knight?
Wait and see, I guess.

-Horizon- · Sep 28, 2015

I'll riot if this doesn't get a physical release.

I don't see why they wouldn't. Also there better be a special edition in the west.

My main concern is if it gets an English track.

I sure hope so. At the very least I expect Europe to get a sweet limited edition while we get nothing :-(

Given what Nintendo Treehouse said at E3, I'm pretty sure that this will get an English dub. With Fire Emblem Fates, they got a Broadway actress to voice Azura in English. Maybe they'll do something similar with this game.

Makoto Yuki · Sep 28, 2015

Man, I'm torn.

I'm happy Tharja is in, I'm weary of how they will redesign her.

finally a real purpose for this game.

Hopefully her design isn't has f'ed up as Chrom, like honestly you can barely tell that's him.

Also lol at Virion, but hey, that could mean Cherche is taggin' along! *sniff*

I got a different impression from Treehouse entirely.
They were making a big deal about the Japanese VA.

They likely wanted an archer from Awakening or Shadow Dragon. The only alternative from Awakening would have been Noire.

Wasn't that an enemy? I don't think it's going to be either one (the face really doesn't look like the Black Knight's).

It probably will.

This is Music -The game though, it will be costly to localize all the songs. My guess is they will include Japanese voice and offer English dub for some dialogues, songs will be in Japanese.

They said that it will be a challenge for them to translate everything, not that they couldn't translate it.

L Thammy · Sep 28, 2015

I am not even slightly surprised that Tharja is in it. I'm just wondering if they'll be able to give her multiple costumes somehow.

Virion is a benchwarmer.

DodgeDusk · Sep 28, 2015

My boy Doga is in?!

All I need now is Vaike and Abel (if non-Akaneia characters do end up being in, then include Matthew and Lex) to be confirmed. Game will be GOAT then

I should clarify that Doga is Draug

R.D.Blax · Sep 28, 2015

That's fine and all, but I hope we will get at least some representation from other FE at one point

Fandangox · Sep 28, 2015

So all Mirages so far are from Marth's games or Awakening? (Which I guess is technically a marth game?)

Fandangox said:

I believe they said that most of the Mirages would come from either Shadow Dragon or Awakening, so I wouldn't expect many representatives from the other games besides maybe Ike & Roy.

Lunar15 · Sep 28, 2015

More Awakening and FE1 characters? Yawn.

I mean, I get it though.

rhandino · Sep 28, 2015

They did say that most of the Mirages would come from those games... maybe for the sequel all the Mirages will come from Tellius =D

NeonZ · Sep 28, 2015

Fandangox said:

They've said that most will be from those games. There's even a chance that the only ones outside of those games might be enemies (we don't know if there's a way to get more mirages, outside of the actual pair of each character) or tied to the Amiibo (it's very suspicious that there aren't Marth and Lucina mirages so far).

Hopefully it gets dubbed in english though I'd imagine Atlus would end up using Johnny Yong Bosch and Laura Bailey again lol Hopefully we get some new talent in it.

FE14 would have come out too late to be considered during the planning process. Maybe they could add some of those characters via DLC, but a sequel (unlikely as it is) might be the only chance post-Awakening characters have.

I think they'll get VAs who can sing. I'm not sure about how well JYB can sing, but Laura Bailey has proven herself in that regard in the past. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if they pulled an Azura & got a Broadway actor/actress or two to diversify the cast.

Not cool until he's in.

R.D.Blax · Sep 28, 2015

Well, that's a little disappointing if there is only Mirage from Shadow Dragon/Awakening...

Should have gone with Innes

He was in Awakening....kinda, as the avatar palette swap.
