Fire Emblem Fates

Nintendo has issued a new statement regarding the petting mini-game in Fire Emblem Fates. Here it is in full:

“In certain circumstances, S-Level characters are able to wake up their spouses by blowing into the microphone or by tapping the screen to touch their hair, face or shoulder. These randomly triggered events are unrelated to the mini-game in the Japanese version.”

This statement essentially confirms what we heard from GameSpot last week. Fire Emblem Fates’ petting mini-game is indeed cut in the western version. However, it’s possible to wake up spouses by tapping the screen or blowing into the 3DS’ microphone – that’s it. There’s nothing extra beyond this in the overseas release.

Rather than focusing on gameplay, the latest Fire Emblem Fates video shows off a cut-scene from the Conquest version. Check it out below – just be wary of spoilers!

Update (2/14): Bumped to the top. Behind The Voice Actors has started matching the different roles. You can find what’s listed in the original credits below, along with what the site has compiled thus far (thanks Brian).


Original (2/13): We now have a complete listing of the English voice actors in Fire Emblem Fates. Unfortunately though, the credits don’t indicate which actors were behind the different characters. Once more folks get their hands on the game, hopefully we’ll to find a way to match everything together.

Continue on below for the full lineup of voice actors, as listed in alphabetical order (last names) from Fire Emblem Fates’ credits.

Update 2 (1/12): Bumped to the top. Here are some related comments from GameXplain’s Derrick Bitner:



Update: Here’s the full stream archive for those that are interested in checking out more footage:


Original (2/10): For its overseas version, Fire Emblem Fates appears to have removed some swimsuits. GameSpot hosted a live stream of the English release earlier today which shows that only the Bath Towel can be purchased from the Accessory Shop in the body section. Meanwhile, the Japanese version featured several more such as the “Risque Swimsuit” (level 1 at the shop just like the Bath Towel).

This doesn’t seem to be a matter of GameSpot being early on in Fire Emblem Fates. Now, it’s true that we have seen footage of some characters in swimsuits via English gameplay, but that may have just been what was offered as the default option. We’ll still consider this a rumor for the time being until the situation is absolutely clarified.

Thanks to Brian for the tip.
