USA release date: February 4, 2013. European release: TBA April 2013. Aww yeah. --- English Trailer is GO!--- It wasn't at E3 proper but is coming out in 2013, Kiddies!---- It's gonna be at E3, Kiddies!---- The official release date in Japan is getting closer (April 19th), It's been announced for a 2012 European release, the information is coming out quickly, and we have more to talk about than ever. Time for a new thread, since my other one is out of date and died a few months back.  "Two sleeping dragons--one a sacred ally of mankind, the other its sworn destroyer. Two heroes marked with the symbols of the dragons. Their meeting heralds the dragons' awakening--and the world's ending."Official Site (JP)First Cinematic TrailerSecond Cinematic Trailer With Subs (Subs courtesy of the Heroes of Shadow) Tutorial/Gameplay trailerSerenesForest pageGameplay: Supports and MarriageUnit Overview TrailerI know it's been a hotter topic on the blast, but I thought a thread was necessary. For people who don't log onto the blast, and for an ongoing discussions. As the game gets closer to release, more questions are answered, and more questions are asked. This information has been around for a bit, so hopefully I can be forgiven for not summarizing it all when people have done it already and better than I could. There's a lot to talk about, and I don't want this post to be huge. So let's. What do you think about FE13?

IT'S COPYING OUR GUILD!! *shot*  Just kidding. I will admit that there are similarities of our guild with the game, but still, it's completely different. However, I'm still anxious and hoping that Japanese are planning to release it to the NA. I mean, the animation of the battle, new characters, new classes (I'm still wondering WTF is a Gryphon Knight), dual supports, along with some of the old mechanism system back like support conversation (YAY!) and the map where we can do some skirmishes. What I hope that they don't add is that sacrificing unit condition. That's really ruin the fun for us when recruiting and leveling them. In addition, I hope that the level of each difficulties are being respected (aka: Hard mode gives us tougher enemies) unless how FE8 gave us. Not to mention, I hope that the storyplot is really good and don't have any plotholes or herp derp moments. Anyway, still crossing fingers for the game to be released in NA.

I want this in NA soooooooo bad so then I can at least watch Let's Plays of it! Oh man, oh man, oh man.
And Marth's wearing a mask because he's copying... er... honoring Camus. Or he's Marth and he can do whatever the heck he wants.
I like the character designs, and the trailers. I cannot wait for morrrreee. Weeee.

To clarify, Sue, just because he claims to be Marth does not mean it actually is Marth. (and it still looks like a girl, to me...) Character designs... are wonky and animu. Mostly in the boots. Seriously. The boots in this game are so weird. However, the designs are still interesting and I really like a number of them. The branching class tree is a good idea to have, it's mordern, it gives the player more choices and better allows the mindset of playing two of the same first tier, so you can give them different promotions. Class changing is not a good idea, it doesn't make sense, takes away from the character, and diminishes the tactical challenge. Some of the new classes make my eye twitch (like battle cleric and dark peg...) but I'm trying to be open minded about them. Despite how dumb they look. And couldn't really work. And how dumb they look. If the unit sacrificing thing carries over from the last two games, that could just about ruin the game for me. So I hope that stays out, because I am pretty excited about this game now. Dual fighting is cool, it's an interesting aspect that can greatly alter our strategies. However, it would be nice if our enemies could do the same... FE8 map is good- nice and modernlike... but let's hope there's nothing like the tower and ruins, which would make the game a piece of cake. Supports! Supports are back... so let's hope they're of quality like they were in the past! I'm really hoping for this. Edit: I also want to make a speculation that Flavia and Vake may be siblings, or in some way related.

Hey guys, it's not just the support system. We're also got Ma-Ma-Ma Marriage A la Holy War, apparently. Will there be babymaking too, I wonder? EDIT: Yes. Yes there is babymaking. As for Marth, I think there is something appealingly ambiguous about him. There's lots of art on dA coming out, many of them have a distinct feeling to them. The official site makes a point of saying that he is only "Claiming" to be Marth, the hero king from ages past. And what's more (For me, anyway), I have to wonder if it is Math, what does his presence here mean? Did something bad happen in Akaneia? How did he get here? Did he use the other world gate? If he is from the past, then why does he have another falchion? Is that just how it works? I'll ask the same question I've been asking since day one: What are they gonna do with all this? Oooh, that reminds me. I forgot to put one more option on the poll: Marketing! As for the art style, I at first was worried about it. When one of the two initial designs is Liz's crazy outfit, you can't help but worry about what the rest will look like. But as more designs were revealed, I liked the style more and more each time. Liz is the exception, not the rule! I like a lot of these designs. Some have some odder parts about them, the boots for instance did stick out a bit in some of them, but I really like most of them. Also Oh my gosh he's so adorable he looks like a teenage version of Mash from Dragon Quest VIII I wanna pinch his cheeks Speaking of the art, here's a fun little tidbit I found t the first site I linked. Quote: As with most Iwata Asks columns, this one is filled with fun little insight's about the game's development. For instance, character designer and illustrator Yusuke Kozaki remarked that this is the first time he's had to design so many characters for a game. Initially, someone at Nintendo contacted him via his homepage and asked if he could design around 60 or so characters. "Is this for a Fire Emblem game?" replied Kozaki. However, he was told that the identity of the game had to be kept secret. On another note, while elements like My Unit and class swapping have returned, it seems like they are trying to balance them a lot more. My Unit has a fixed class, and class swapping can only occur between set classes, and with a certain seal, similar to a master seal. I'm really happy to see branching class trees come back. It's not their fault Sacred Stones was easy. If they are taking efforts to balance these elements, I want to hope they will be balancing other things as well. For instance... Not having a Tower of Valni or Lagdou Ruins. At least until after endgame. EDIT: From SerenesForest: Quote: As usual, some details have leaked ahead of the magazine's Thursday release, including information on the western continent and the return of Tiki.

*nearly spit coffee out*
MARRIAGE?!?!?!
Oh crud, you're right. It's Holy War support system. >>; And I'm surprised that even My Unit can get married too. Although it looks interesting to pair up the characters, I'm somewhat kinda iffy about this. What I'm iffy about is that it may or may not contradict the storyplot if there are some hints or obvious visible scene of two people who can be canon together. And this is WITHOUT the support. So if the storyplot do throw in hints of canon pairing.... Yeah.... Really screw up about the marriage support. sweatdrop
As for Marth, it's unknown. We really don't know what happened after the FE12 ending or why is he here. In fact, we don't even know if it's really Marth. The only thing we can figure out is GET THAT GAME AND PLAY!! *shakes fist at Intelligent System of not hurrying up about when to release NA date*
I admit that there are some of the designs that looks weird (*coughbulkyarmorcought*) while other looks quite decent. However, I kinda agree with Tibarn about the design. It looks more modernized and it very similar to the Tales series outfit design. Of course, I'm keeping an open mind about the artwork.
As for the leak information, I'm not sure. It is unknown if Tiki has a role in this game or will she be one of the downloadable characters like Ayra and Innes.

HOLY CRAP HOLY CRAP HOLY CRAP Quote: Tiki, the divine dragon princess from Shadow Dragon and Mystery of the Emblem, returns all grown up. The divine dragons are worshipped in the Continent of Varm and Tiki is revered as the "Priestess of the Divine Dragons". I KEEP THROWING MONEY AT THE SCREEN BUT NOTHING IS HAPPENING

Marriage system? Oh no, here comes the war of pairings. I agree with isa, it seems very interesting, but if they throw in hints of canon pairing it'll just seem all messed up. This makes me scared as I think people's support conversations might end up being plain and boring even though it's hinted for supports to actually be longer and unique so I don't know how well this will actually work until the game comes out. Also I found a website that said this: Quote: There will be a marriage system wherein you can marry virtually any ally in the game, and proposal scenes have been prepared for the special occasion(s). Not only that, but the marriage mechanics will be tied into the game’s battle system. You will also be able to have children with your spouse, and they can become future allies in battle. And in serene forest is said this: Quote: My Unit has the unique ability to form the strongest bond possible--marriage. According to Nintendo, My Unit can become lovers with any playable character, the results of which are currently unclear, but likely involve love confessions and children. Children characters can also form bonds with their parents. it looks like children characters are official? Also, does that mean Tiki is an official character for FE13? If that is true then I might actually reconsider how much I actually believe that guy claiming to be marth to maybe actually can be Marth. Though if Tiki is all grown up, shouldn't that mean marth should've grown up too. But then this could take place centuries later which means Marth should be dead so...I DON'T KNOW ANYMORE. Also this might show signs of this game in sone way can be connected to the world of Akaneia? I'm getting more and more curious by the second

....MARRIAGE?! INCLUDING MY UNIT?
I think I just hit a whole new level of fandom and love for this game. Seriously, it needs to come out for the NA or tables will be flipped.
I am still a little sketchy about 'Marth' as everybody else is saying and of course he's claiming to be 'Marth'. Nobody will actually know until this game comes out and someone plays the Japanese version...or it comes out for NA....Nintendo....You will bring this to the U.S right? RIGHT??

Two new trailers added. Added second cinematic trailer with subtitles, and the one that just came out about supports and marriage.
Also, I feel pretty certain we will get a release. Shadow Dragon came out in Europe before America too, and New Mystery didn't come to America, and it didn't go to Europe either.
I wonder if supports will function like event conversations on the field in FE4, or if there are conversations like those as a separate thing. I can guess that FE13 supports will not determine who ends up with who: this marriage system will. But supports will still exist.
And there will be babies in FE13. I don't know how many babies, but they will exist. Alongside their parents. Whom they can bond with. Will there be a timescale or skips in time?
Oooh ooh! I forget to mention, the music... sounds AWESOME. I really like the new version of the FE theme that plays at the official site, and the minor version of the theme during the second cinematic... that song and the scene it plays during really made it for me.
Oh Oujay, that's been me since these things started coming out. My curiosity is currently through the roof and back again.
And now, more than ever, I hope it is Marth under that mask. Because I want him and Tiki to talk. Just imagine... Marth, this one man from so long ago that she knew when she when a child that had such an impact on her life and how she could live it... Now in front of her, having aged hardly a day, while she is now an adult, a thousand years older than she was. Not only that, but this man was supposed to be many, many years dead. And now... there he stands.
How surreal would that feel? For both of them?
If it is Marth but we don't get a decent conversation between the two, I will cry.

If a thousand years have really passed, then maybe it is Marth's descendant?
Now that I got a good look at his picture, he does seem to young and/or skinny to be him.
But who knows?
M...Marraige system? And children? Oh. My. God.
We just launched 1 million ships before this game even came out in NA. And it BETTER come out here. D<
As for Tiki and Marth: ... I don't know. Has Fire Emblem done things like that in its script before? Usually when you think of your theories of character interactions, they don't always happen in the game even thought they would make sense, Totoro.
(I only called you that to not get confused as I typed Tiki in one sentence already).
But we'll see if...
1.) It's really Marth or just an imposter/descendant of him
2.) How the divine dragon Tiki reacts.
This is gonna rock!

Well, considering that quote you posted earlier about that artist, it's around 60 characters. So..... I'm guessing like around 30 or 20 babies out of 60? In addition, I dunno if they will do the same stunt as they did in the Holy War. So I guess we have to wait and see. As for Tiki meeting with Marth, I will say she will sense the person's energy and presence to see if it's really Marth or not before making a conversation. I will say she will be surprised at first, but she may use her powers to sense if it's really him or not. I don't know how the conversation will go, but it will depends on the presence.

Well, I figure I might as well post my opinions here. If I ever get a 3DS, I'm gonna get this game. Looks REALLY fun, and the dual system will add a new layer of strategy to it. The supports seem to actually be..well supports! This makes me a very happy guy. As for the obligatory speculation on Masked!Marth, here's my theory: According to the official site, there is a gateway to another world in this. This is supported by FE11's chapter 24x I believe it is. Gotoh sends you into a different realm to recruit Nagi and get a replacement for the Falchion. If this is canon, then it's entirely possible that Marth found a gateway, and while investigating it, accidentally stepped through. The shock of the transfer caused him to go a tad manic for a short while. After this though, he recovers, but has changed his personality a bit, donning a mask and telling people who he is, trying to find out where he is. That's all I have for Masked!Marth speculation. Overall, I'm very excited for this, and it ACTUALLY MOTIVATES ME TO GET A 3DS. Well done Nintendo and IS. Well done.

Added a Unit Overview Trailer to the video list. Also, From SF: Quote: Famitsu information Awakening received a 9/9/9/9 (36/40) score from Famitsu, making it one of the highest rated Fire Emblem games. Though of course, the reception of games between American and Japanese fans tends to differ with FE, this is pretty cool. And as for all these other posts, so much speculation, so little time! I must say, I'm actually having more fun speculating than I ever remember having when anticipating anything past. This game has given me a lot for my imagination to run wild with. Not just in how the story might go or if Marth is the real McCoy or not. but also in how they might make all this stuff work. I want to know. I want to know so bad. And if I don't commit to any speculation, I won't be disappointed. Though I will take a risk and commit to Tiki and the Mysterious Masked Marth having a talk of some sort. Big Brother...And on top of that, just the sheer amount of stuff in this game gameplay wise is enough to get people thinking about possibilities. Edit: Forgot to mention FE13's first DLC chapter was announced yesterday. From SF: Quote: Another Story: Spirit Talisman 1 Krom finds himself lost in another world, where he meets an ageing fortune teller who can use talismans to summon lost spirits. When a battle breaks out, the fortune teller aids Krom by summoning...? Reward: Hero King Marth's Talisman Difficulty: 1 star I love this picture of the Otherworld Marth. This is my own brand of dorkery at work, but I love that he's got his awakening design, sans mask and with brighter colors, but he's been drawn by a different artist, in this case, Senri Kita, the artist who brought us the original art and designs for Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn. There's something I really like about that. Like art style blending. And apparently this "spirit talisman" is labeled 1, meaning there may be others. Even if I don't end up getting those, I wonder if Kita will draw more characters from other FE games. I'd like to see that. And I personally doubt this Marth has any bearing on our maskman. After all, this is DLC, which in itself was a bit of an afterthought, apparently.

The art from the Tellius verse is back! heart I love it, I love it, I love it!
Seeing the new information, the trailers, the ratings, the speculations... it all gets me so excited for this game! We better get some NA release up in here.
For real.
I don't know if I'll ever get a 3DS but I can at least watch Let's Plays of the game once it comes out in NA.
This is awesome!
And supports are supports. That is rad. I really wish it was for the DS Lite. D: This looks like the FE game that could be IS's best yet.
