Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment
A little bit of additional information has come in pertaining to Fire Emblem If, the series’ upcoming concert, and the Fire Emblem Cipher trading card game.
First, it’s been announced that “Renka” is the person behind Aqua’s song in the Fire Emblem If trailers. Serenes Forest reports that “Aqua’s singing voice is unique, possessing a pure and divine quality, with the ability to represent both strength and fragility.” The team “knew she was the one” after looking at a number of candidates and hearing Renka sing for the first time.
Fire Emblem If’s main theme song is “if ~hitori omou“. That roughly translates to “if ~ one’s thoughts”.
The theme song is due out as a single on July 1. It will be sold both as a CD for 1,296 yen and a limited edition CD/DVD bundle for 1,836 yen. The latter package contains two extra MVs and a reversible cover designed by Yusuke Kozaki.
Promotional displays for Fire Emblem If are already appearing inside a few stores across Japan. Only blurry pictures have been posted online thus far, which show artwork of Marx, Hinoka and Sakura and most notably Leon, Nohr’s “Dark Knight” prince. Check them out below.
Regarding Fire Emblem Cipher, there will be rare cards signed by the characters’ Japanese voice actors. We’re also hearing that the Fire Emblem concert will feature at least two parts – specifically the “Hero-King” part and “Light Inheritors” part.
