This week’s issue of Famitsu has another update on Genei Ibun Roku #FE. The magazine introduces the Bloom Palace, and also share more about battle elements. Find the information rounded up below courtesy of DokiDokiKusoge’s translation.

– Bloom Palace is basically your home base in the game
– It’s run and managed by Chiki
– Chiki is the key visual character of a voice software
– This is where you strengthen your characters
– Can also talk to your Mirages as well
– This is an important place to them
– As your characters become better Mirage Masters, you gain the ability to use Radiant Unity
– You can then have your characters learn various abilities and skills that activate in battle
– In battle, your Mirages can transform into powerful weapons known as Carnage
– Carnage Unity is a system designed to create new Carnages
– Attack power is different for each weapon, but also element and the sorts of skills they learn
– The key to all of this is Performer power
– Performer is an energy that is gained largely through defeating enemies
– Depending on the enemy you fight, the kind of Performer that can be gained varies
– Mirages can undergo Class Changes
– The way this happens is largely the same as in FE
– You need Master Proofs
– Once you’ve gained these, you can perform class change
– Ex: Chrom going from Lord to Master Lord or Overlord
– Pegasus Knight can class change to Falcon Knight or Dragon Knight
– Social Knight can change to Paladin or Dark Knight
– Armor Knight can change to General or Berserker

Wii U’s third birthday is today. The console debuted in North America on November 18, 2012. The console may have had its struggles, but it’s still delivered some fantastic games like Mario Kart 8, Splatoon, Super Mario Maker, Super Mario 3D World, Bayonetta 2, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, and plenty more.

I’ll also throw out a mention for the GameCube as well, which is sort of celebrating a birthday as well. That system came out in the United States 14 years ago.
