Famitsu’s article touches on gameplay as well. First, Robin and Frederick can only use Magic and Axe respectively even though both originally allowed for multiple weapon types in Fire Emblem Awakening. The magazine notes that characters will only be able to use one weapon type from Sword, Axe, Spear, etc.
Famitsu also provides an update on how Bond Level works in Fire Emblem Warriors. When a character fights together with someone else on the battlefield, their bonds will gradually deepen. This is denoted with a heart mark appearing above the character. When enough bonds have been accumulated, the Bond Level will increase once the battle concludes. Then when a Bond Level is at its maximum, a special Bond Conversation between the two characters can take place.
Finally, we have a small update on a storyline event. In the trailer made for Japan Expo, one scene shows Chrom’s body glowing and releasing blue lights. These lights gather to create a blue orb which is then placed on the kingdom of Aytolis’ Shield of Flames.
