Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
The developers of Fire Emblem Engage have discussed the origins of the game’s Emblems mechanic, and how it came about when thinking about the marriage systems of past entries in the series. This comes from an official interview with director Tsutomu Tei and producer Masahiro Higuchi plus Nintendo’s Genki Yokota and Kenta Nakanishi.
According to Nakanishi, with the marriage system in Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War, it took quite some time before players could actually marry someone and have children. The Emblems mechanic for Fire Emblem Engage was ultimately about wanting to have “pairing” gameplay that can be enjoyed more casually.
