New round of Fire Emblem Warriors details

More Fire Emblem Warriors details are in from the latest issue of Famitsu. Serenes Forest went to the trouble of translating the extra information, which primarily covers the new characters and story plus some additional tidbits.

Here’s a summary:

– Shion and Lian are twins from the Kingdom of Aitriss
– The two are the children of Queen Yuana
– Shion: royal prince of the Kingdom of Aitriss
– He aspires to be a knight who fights on the frontlines rather than a king
– Encourages his twin sister Lian to inherit the throne
– Lian: Shin’s older twin sister
– She’s clever and understanding of her own faults
– Lian has no desire to inherit the throne, so she encourages Shion to become king
– The two twins are voiced by actual siblings in the Japanese version
– After Shion and Lian’s father (the king) died of illness, the kingdom was without a ruler for a long period
– Thanks to the aid of the neighbouring kingdom of Guston, its people were able to leave in harmony
– This came to an abrupt end after monsters form another dimension appeared and took over the kingdom
– The story begins right as the kingdom is suddenly attacked
– Shion and Lian who have only known peace until now find themselves attacked by monsters and are separated from their mother Yuana
– While visiting, Prince Darios from the Kingdom of Guston helps Shion and Lian escape the castle by request of their mother
– From here, a battle to reclaim their homeland begins
– Darios: original character; prince of the Kingdom of Guston
– He taught Shion the way of the sword and Lian the academic arts
– Darios is revered like a big brother
– Yuana: the ruling queen of the Kingdom of Aitriss
– Her husband (the king) passed away to the other world
– Although she’s troubled by Shion and Lian both unwilling to inherit the throne, she gently watches over them as they grow up
– Players can look forward to controlling characters with various weapons and classes such as archers and mages
– Weapon triangle works as expected
– There will be bonus damage such as Pegasus Knights being weak to Archers
– Horseback characters will generally stay on their horse
– Bond Conversations will have a lot of content, ranging from serious to silly
