Fire Emblem If (Japanese: ファイアーエムブレムif Fire Emblem if)[1] is a turn-based strategy role-playing game, currently in development for the Nintendo 3DS system. It is the fourteenth instalment in the Fire Emblem series. It was officially revealed in a Nintendo Direct broadcast on 14 January, 2015.[2] It has been stated that the game will not be connected to any previous entries in the series in terms of plot or characters.[3] Character designs and artwork will be handled by Yūsuke Kozaki, who was also responsible for the character designs of Awakening, while the story will be written by the manga storywriter and novelist Shin Kibayashi.[3]
Plot
Currently limited info is available on the plot. The only known information is that there is a conflict taking place between factions based on eastern and western peoples.
Gameplay
It has been mentioned in the Nintendo Direct broadcast that the choices the player makes during gameplay will have a "greater than ever" effect on the game's world,[3] though it is currently unknown how great an effect. It was also revealed that the game will feature challenges "the likes of which have never been seen in the series, up until now".[3]
From the teaser trailer, it has been confirmed that Pair Up will return.[2] The game introduces what appear to be Japanese-style equivalents to the traditional weapon triangle of sword, lance, and axe: the katana (刀), a form of single-edged sword, the naginata (薙刀), a type of polearm with a weapon triangle advantage over swords, and the kanabō (金棒), a truncheon-like weapon. Bows have also gained a placement in the weapon triangle; so far, they are known to have a disadvantage to the katana. A mage casting ice magic with what appear to be fans also features in the trailer; it is currently unknown what relation this has to the tome magic featured in previous games.
Monsters of some sort also make a return, with a golem like monster bearing the Mouth of Truth as a face appearing in the CGI trailer.[4] There is also another large built monster, defeated by Max in the trailer, who appears to be wearing some sort of mask.[5]
The game also features damage to a unit's armor, in the Nintendo direct, Kamui is seen attacking an axe using enemy, when the enemy takes damage, their pauldrons shatter.[6] The masked monster mentioned earlier also loses its mask when damaged, as demonstrated by Max. It is unknown if this has any gameplay effects or is aesthetic. This was actually present as a feature in Fire Emblem Awakening, but only seen on Grima, his face plate is destroyed past a certain amount of damage.
There also appear to be terrain bonus alterations, one being that water tiles now subtract 10 avoid.[7]
Weapon durability appears to be absent, as there are no numbers next to Kamui's weapons or a generic unit's bow[8][9].
Chapters
Characters
Seven named characters appear in the teaser trailer: Kazahana (カザハナ), Hinoka (ヒノカ), Rinka (リンカ), Felicia (フェリシア), Ganz (ガンズ), Max (マークス), and Kamui (カムイ). The trailer also prominently features a blue-haired woman, whose name is currently unknown. Kamui appears wielding a sword called 夜刀神, which literally translates to "Night Blade God". Kamui was confirmed to be an Avatar type unit in the Nintendo Direct on April 1st, 2015. In a press release screenshot his class was revealed to be Dark Prince (ダークプリンス), a class that has the ability to use swords and dragonstones[10]. The enemy faction portayed in the trailer are known as the "Soldiers of the Dark Night" (暗夜兵).[2] The enemy faction's name may have some connection to Kamui's sword.
Development
Fire Emblem If was first announced during a Nintendo Direct broadcast on 14 January, 2015.[2][3]
