Yes. You can create your own unit, customize its looks, but the class is locked in this game. "Strategist." You get to use magic and swords. No news on what you can promote My Unit into.
The 2D artwork is generated alongside the 3D model. You build the 3D guy or girl and the game suggests a 2D face for you based on that.
My Unit was introduced in New Mystery of the Emblem, which wasn't released outside Japan, where you could be any class, depending on gender.
So, when Nintendo is saying they're taking the best of all the Fire Emblems for Awakening, it looks like they aren't kidding. Any Fire Emblem experts know what we're missing now?
Roy.

Sounds like fun. I really hoping this comes to North America.
Odds are good for a Roy DLC. If we're getting 120 (!) old characters, the main lords of the older games should be fairly safe.
Let's see, we have world maps, skirmishes, marriage, branched promotions, reclassing, monsters, My Unit who is also a Strategist, supports upgraded to dual attacks, Rescue has been upgraded to the ability to stack units in one square and have them fight as one, and we have shapeshifters again.
I mean, all I can think of we're missing now is the giant maps from FE4 where you have to capture multiple castles to win.
So I might be missing something, but other than requiring the "rescued" unit to start the action, is there a downside to the Double system? The other unit gets stat bonuses and a permanent chance to use Dual Attack/Guard, and even if it prevents one of them from earning experience you can just switch roles... I hope they know what they're doing.
Won't stop the "Is Marth and Roy in this game?"
Heh, if we get Roy DLC, the answer to "Is the the game with Marth and Roy?" will be yes.
Now they have to make a Roy DLC, just for that.
There's an Other-World Gate somewhere on the map. Guess what it does. Apparently, it's where Anna hangs out, which explains a lot.

The Bara pairing are now running rampant in my mind.
I'm afraid this is just wishful thinking (I have a hard time believing that Nintendo + gay marriage could survive the translation process ) , but anyway, I just finished my selection in some of the past games portraits...
If Garcia is in the future DLC, he's already bought ( and married to FE6 Douglas )
Good news! They are.
It seems he/she promotes into Divine Strategist and can also reclass into pretty much anything other than special classes.
"Divine Strategist"? I might keep that just for the class name. What does it do, I wonder? Swords, Magic and Staves? That'd be interesting, if grossly powerful.
It will be tempting not to reclass into Griffon Rider, though... Or a Dark Pegasus Knight.

I imagine it'll be similar to what was done in the Penny Arcade RPGs.

The Character Page on the Awakening web site now has a whole new use...

I like this chick, even if her uniform looks like a Mass Effect toilet.

OMFGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD
Bought day 1!
Thanks McNum for the info!
Is there somewhere were you can see the new characters that are going to appear in the game?

Well,just saw the top link lol
The 12 year olds who buy Mario Kart and Kirby aren't the same nintendo fans who buy FE and whatnot.
Edit: Not to say those games are for 12 year olds, I'm just saying the parts of Nintendo that are family friendly are the more popular ones, FE is too niche to force nintendo to make it for everyone, it's already a bit too hardcore for the younger audiences.

"My Unit" will finally see some action.

Hopefully this doesn't ruin the chances of a US release, and if we do get it hopefully it'll be uncensored

The costume designs are rather questionable.

Yes, just don't expect to enjoy the characters as much.
Sorry, marriage has been in Fire Emblem since 1996.
New Famitsu details:
The might of the continent of Valm
The continent of Valm, to the west of Iris, is where lies the Valm Empire, ruled by its Conqueror King Valhart. As they hold massive military power, they'd be a threat if they were to become Krom's enemies. Also, a divine dragonkin called Tiki lives in Valm. She has been living for eternity, but is she a friend?
Valhart - Emperor of Valm
A conqueror king who has dominated all countries of the continent of Valm by force. He hates losing and turning his back to an enemy more than anything. While he holds down those who oppose him by force, he does have the charisma needed to lead a country.
Tiki - Divine Dragonkin
A divine dragonkin who has been living ever since the age of legend. She is revered as the "Divine Dragon Maiden" (or Priestess - "miko") in Valm, as they worship Naga. Though usually calm, she rarely behaves like a little girl in some aspects.
My unit
>Can support with almost all characters, both male and female
>Can be a silent type (you can choose its appearance and tone)
>Promotes into "Divine Strategist" (now people, for the love of God, don't start reading too much with that STRATEGIST != TACTICTIAN stuff as "gunshi" can read as both; also, "divine" might refer to godlike skill/mastery, but it might refer to something else as well...)
>Can reclass into almost every other class, special classes like Taguel aside
The scan also features MU's promoted skill, but it's cut off unfortunately
Also from the Iwata Asks it seems someone wanted kiss scenes for every character but they didn't do it.
Fire Emblem Awakening: A War Strategy themed Dating Simulator
Fire Emblem has had various degree of dating sim elements in it for a long time. Not big enough to be the centerpiece of the game, but not quite small enough to be something to ignore. Like hats in TF2. I kind of wish I was kidding more than I am.

I like Ike x Ranulf and Ike x Soren
God, I just realized that Ranulf and Soren are like the Jacob and Edward of Fire Emblem fic pairings.

I knew there was a reason I didn't like FE9 and 10!
You didn't like FE9?! ;_; That's probably my second favorite after 7.
I'm currently giving it another chance. I think I didn't like it because at the time I only wanted to play fire emblem on a portable system.
It also looks like complete shit.
I didn't care for the battle animations after a while so I just turned them off... But that's the only thing I'd say I didn't like much in the game. <3
Nonsense, it's not like one of them transforms into a beast and the other living an unnaturally long life due to his race... Aw, nuts. At least Soren doesn't sparkle.
It is interesting that Ike only has paired endings with those two in FE10, though.

one step closer to a turn-based strategy dancing game
In which you move your characters around on a grid, challenging opponents to a dance-off. Loser leaves the building. Can YOU defeat the Divine Dark Disco Dancer?
I kind of want to see it happen now.

Only thing I'm worried about is getting generic conversations like in FE:RD.
Also every time I read news about this game I always wonder what these characters would look like in Kita's style.

This is really interesting, I really need to get started with this series...
I have the two GBA games but I still haven't touched them
This is good!

Capturing would be nice.

I have a bad feeling this will mean that all of the characters are straight. A big downgrade for the series, if you ask me. The people at Intelligent Systems might be progressive enough for same-sex marriage, but I doubt Nintendo execs would be.
How did that work? And what was the benefit of it?
Although, considering the enemy looks undead in the trailers, I don't think capture will be an option for most of them.

Capturing was pretty cool, but a bit fiddly.
You pretty much had to capture early on, since your army starts off with 0 gold. A few characters had to be captured before they'd join your team as well.
