Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
The Fire Emblem If news continues to roll right in. First up, we have a look at a new pre-paid card that can be used at all Seven & I Holdings-owned stores (Ito-Yokado and 7-Eleven) in Japan. The card will be included with the Fire Emblem 0 (Cipher), but will be limited in availability.
Next, we have another round of details about Fire Emblem If from Famitsu and Dengeki. You’ll find those below.
– Important note: Gunter’s “Great Butler” class was a typo and should be “Great Knight”
– Hidden Weapon can be equipped by both classes
– These sit alongside Lances in the revamped weapon triangle and are good against Swords and Magic, but weak against Axes and Bows
– Hidden Weapons can temporarily decrease enemy stats; are 1~2 range weapons as well
– Felicia (of the Maid class) is shown in one screenshot defeating enemies with an “Iron Hidden-Weapon” or healing with staves
– Butlers can equip Hidden Weapons and Staves too
– Maid (and Butler) seems to be a promoted class
– Ninjas are locked to Hidden Weapons, but they likely have better attacking abilities than Maids and Butlers
– The Ninjas (Suzukaze and apparently a Fuuma Soldier) are equipped with Iron and Steel Shurikens
– Steel Shurikens is the Hoshidan version of Hidden Weapons
– Suzukaze’s Iron Shuriken boosts his Speed by 2, while reducing his enemy’s Magic by 2, Defense by 3 and Resistance by 3 until the next turn
– The enemy’s Steel Shuriken also seems to boost Speed by some unknown amount
– Female Dark Mage called Nyx
– Nyx can equip Fire and Fimbulvetr tomes and can at least promote to a Sorcerer
– Classes apparently have a base stat for Luck
– The spell-casting effect no longer conjures Tellius’s ancient text, like it did in Awakening, instead summoning something closer to runes or European symbols
– Sakura is shown holding a “Spring Festival” healing baton in one Dengeki screenshot
– The Avatar seemingly doesn’t have access to his/her dragon-transforming ability all of the time
– Hoshido has an eastern-themed version of all of the present weapon types: Katana (Sword), Naginata (Lance), Mace (Axe) and Baton (Staff)
