'''Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem | '''''Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem: Heroes of Light and Shadow''''' (Japanese: {{hover|ファイアーエムブレム新・紋章の謎〜光と影の英雄〜|Fire Emblem: Shin Monshō no Nazo Hikari to Kage no Eiyū}} ''Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem: Heroes of Light and Shadow'') is the second ''Fire Emblem'' remake for the [[Nintendo DS]] system, following after {{title|Shadow Dragon}}. It is a remake of Book 2 of {{title|Mystery of the Emblem}}, the third ''Fire Emblem'' game to have been made. | ||
== | ==Plot== | ||
One year after the [[War of Shadows]] between the [[Archanea (continent)|Archanea]]n League, led by Prince [[Marth]] of [[Altea]], and the [[Dolhr]] Empire led by the Shadow Dragon [[Medeus]], an imperial edict from [[Hardin]], recently crowned Emperor of Archanea, arrives at Altea Castle, ordering Marth to lead his army to [[Grust]] to subdue a rebellion occuring there. Although Marth has his doubts about this order, he is forced to comply with the orders of his suzerain nation, and leaves for Grust. | |||
== | ==Gameplay== | ||
''New Mystery of the Emblem'' marks the first appearance of "[[Gameplay modes#Classic and Casual Mode|Casual Mode]]", a gameplay mode in which units who are defeated in battle are not actually killed, but simply retreat from battle to recover in time for the next chapter. It also marks the first appearance of unit barracks, where random items are gifted after a certain amount of time | |||
==Characters== | |||
{{main|List of characters in Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem: Heroes of Light and Shadow}} | |||
With a total of 81 playable characters, ''New Mystery of the Emblem'' has the largest playable cast in the entire {{FES}}. ''New Mystery of the Emblem'' introduces [[Kris]], a character whose name, appearance, class and gender can be customised by the player. Although this is not [[Tactician (The Blazing Blade)|the first]] instance of a player-created character being directly involved in the game's plot, it is the first time said character is available as a controllable unit. | |||
==Chapters== | |||
{{main|List of chapters in Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem: Heroes of Light and Shadow}} | |||
''New Mystery of the Emblem'' features eight prologue chapters, used to develop Kris's fighting skill and relationship with Marth, 24 main story chapters, six [[sidequest]] chapters, and three downloadable chapters, available from the extras menu, that take place before the prologue chapters of the game. Unlike in {{title|Shadow Dragon}}, the sidequests' availability is not determined by the number of units in the player's army, and so it is possible to recruit, and keep alive, all 77 possible playable characters in a single playthrough. | |||
==Base Conversations== | |||

==Development== | |||
The game was originally going to be released around the same time ''[[Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon]]'' was going to be released. As a result, development began alongside ''Shadow Dragon''. However, during development the staff decided to use a different system than the one they were working with, which was based off of ''Shadow Dragon''; instead, they decided to start from scratch and base it more off of the original ''Mystery of the Emblem''. | |||
Many elements were added in the game that weren't present in ''Mystery of the Emblem'', such as [[support|support conversations]], a [[avatar|customizable character]], and a "Casual Mode"; the latter was heavily debated between Nintendo and Intelligent Systems, but positive feedback from playtesting allowed the decision to stand. The amount of new content was abundant in the game, so much that Intelligent Systems considered splitting the game into two separate titles. | |||
The game was announced by Nintendo in May 2010 as part of Fire Emblem's 20th anniversary celebration, and was subsequently released in Japan on July 15, 2010. No western release date was announced. | |||
