During last week’s Nintendo Direct, more details were shared about the Mirages in Genei Ibun Roku #FE. A summary of the information can be found below courtesy of Serenes Forest.

– Characters acquire skills as they battle with their Mirage
– Skills can be used during battle to cause various effects
– Many of the skills on offer are derived from the Shin Megami Tensei series
– Ex: Sukunda and Bufula
– There are some from Fire Emblem as well, such as Flux +1
– Kiria receives the Tarunda skill from Tharja
– There is a partially filled bar for the next skill Agilao
– Tharja has a “Carnage” called Vajra equipped
– It’s this particular Carnage that seems to be granting the skills
– Players can speak to Tiki to undergo “Carnage Unity” or “Radiant Unity” (or ask her for Unity-related help)
– Carnage Unity uses materials earned from battle and other means to create weapons known as “Carnage” for Mirages to equip
– Each Carnage has its own weaknesses and resistances, Attack rating and set of skills
– It seems once all the skills have been learned, the Carnage is considered “Mastered”
– Ex: Chrom currently has an “Iron Sword” Carnage equipped and it seems he starts with the “Sealed Falchion” Carnage (just like in Awakening)
– If you want to upgrade to the stronger “Épée Rapier” Carnage, you’ll need to hand over 1 Blade Force, 1 Deep Sea Illumination and 2 lots of 1-Star Stardoms
– Mirages can Class Change like in the Fire Emblem games they’re from
– Caeda, Tsubasa’s Mirage, is shown changing class from a Pegasus Knight to a Falcon Knight or Dracoknight using a Master Seal
– Falcon Knights have improved Speed and Resistance
– Dracoknights boast higher Defence and Skill
– Changing classes improves stats and alters the character’s Mirage Attack
– As a Pegasus Knight, Tsubasa has the “Aerial Dance” attack, while she has “Grand Finale” as a Falcon Knight
– Achievements of some form will feature
– After changing class to Falcon Knight, a pop-up appears in the bottom-right corner displaying the “Birth of a Falcon Knight” achievement (“Play Record”)
– After walloping a whole bunch of enemies at once with Grand Finale, the “Performance Beginner” achievement is earned
– From December 1 2015, three songs from Genei Ibun Roku #FE will be released for Wii Karaoke U: “Reincarnation” by Kiria, “Feel” by Tsubasa, “Beastie Game” by Tiki

On Friday, Nintendo won a patent case held in California federal court. It’s the second time that the company has prevailed against the patent-licensing companies Technology Properties Limited LLC, Phoenix Digital Solutions LLC and Patriot Scientific Corporation.

Ajay Singh, Nintendo of America’s Director of Litigation and Compliance, said of today’s news:

“We are very pleased with this decision, which again confirmed that Nintendo’s products do not infringe. It also confirms that Nintendo continues to develop unique and innovative products while respecting the intellectual property rights of others. Nintendo will defend its products and its innovations, even if it must do so multiple times in different places and over many years.”

Plaintiffs sued Nintendo in California federal court and in the International Trade Commission back in July 2012. But in February 2014, the ITC determined that Nintendo did not infringe the asserted patent. While the plaintiffs chose not to appeal that decision, they insisted on continuing to litigate the same patent and many of the exact same issues before the California federal court. Nintendo has now won that case as well. The court held that Nintendo’s systems, including Wii U and 3DS, do not infringe the asserted patent.
