It wasn’t too long ago that Nintendo Dream published a lengthy interview with the developers of Fire Emblem Warriors. But in its latest issue, the Japanese magazine brought back producer Yosuke Hayashi and director Hiroya Usuda once again.

The second interview has its own interesting tidbits and discussion. Hayashi and Hiroya spoke about the reaction to Fire Emblem Warriors out of E3 and reveal that Chrom was the first character created. There’s also a lot of talk about why Lissa wields a staff, how there was initially some consideration about not including Lucina, the inclusions of Frederick and Robin, and more. Towards the end of the interview, Hayashi and Hiroya spoke further about how characters were selected for the game.

Continue on below for our full translation of Nintendo Dream’s new Fire Emblem Warriors interview.

The “Treasure Box” edition of Fire Emblem Warriors in Japan comes with an 80-page art book which contains, among other things, concept art of the characters. The Fire Emblem Warriors Twitter account shared two such pieces today – Marth and Anna. Incidentally, this our first proper look at Anna in Fire Emblem Warriors. So far, we know she’s in the game as a sort of navigator and guide – but it’d be a shame if she wasn’t playable with a great outfit like this.
