A new piece of merchandise for Fire Emblem: Three Houses is on the way, as Intelligent Systems itself is preparing a new pre-painted figure for Byleth – specifically the female version of the character. It’s 1/7 scale with Tokura handling sculpting and Shoushin Murakawa taking charge of paintwork.

Here’s some additional information via the official product listing:

A new soundtrack for Fire Emblem: Three Houses was announced a little while back. Play-Asia is now taking pre-orders here.

As a reminder, there will be a regular version for $73. You can also pick up a limited edition for $104, which comes with a music box and four poster cards. Both editions also feature six discs, a bonus DVD, clear case, Sothis and Rhea jacket, and a twenty page booklet.

Here’s the product description from Play-Asia:

Best Buy has just launched a sale for many first party Nintendo titles, discounting some of these games to $34.99 and $39.99. This sale appears to be for both the physical and digital editions of the games and there is no end date at this time. 

These games may go fast though, so here are all the links for the sale below:

Fire Emblem: Three Houses has gone on to become the best-selling entry in series history. To date, the game has sold 3.02 million copies worldwide. That’s as of June 2020.

Prior to today, the last official number for Fire Emblem: Three Houses was 2.87 million copies. Nintendo had provided the figure back in May.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses selling over three million copies is significant, but as mentioned, it’s now the best-selling Fire Emblem title we’ve seen so far. Fire Emblem Fates previously held the record with 2.94 million copies sold as of the end of 2018.

Intelligent Systems has announced that a physical soundtrack for Fire Emblem: Three Houses will be made available February 17, 2021 for Japan. The album would be released on several CDs, so importing is an option. There are two versions of the soundtrack: A regular edition priced at 7700 Yen, and a Limited Edition priced at 11000 Yen.

According to a translation from Perfectly Nintendo, the soundtrack collection includes 6 CDs and a DVD that contain all tracks from both the main game and DLC, as well as background music, jingles, and several versions of the main theme. Included with these is a booklet, several postcards, a holographic case, and a music box playing the game’s main theme.

A full tracklist in Japanese:

Fire Emblem Heroes has announced an exclusive promotion for Fire Emblem: Three House owners where they can get a 5 star version of Byleth.

To obtain this gift, players that have both Fire Emblem: Three Houses and Fire Emblem Heroes must make sure that the Nintendo account they have registered to their Switch is also registered on their Heroes app (tutorial here, if needed).

Then for those that own physical copies of the game, they must use their Switch to navigate to the Three Houses software page and hit “Earn Gold Points.” Once they have done this, Byleth will show up in their presents list in the Heroes app (they have until July 29, 2020 to do this). If players have already done this previously, Byleth should automatically show up in the presents list without having to hit the button again.

If players have purchased a digital version of Three Houses, then Byleth should automatically appear in the presents list in Heroes as well. There is a detailed list of steps here if there are any issues with following this guide. 

 

 

This month’s issue of Nintendo Dream has a massive Fire Emblem: Three Houses developer interview. Directors Toshiyuki Kusakihara and Genki Yokota addressed a variety of topics, including inspirations, world-building and character writing, depictions of characters, themes, and lore, plus more. As part of this, we get to hear about Byleth and keeping his facial expressions to a minimum as well as Dimitri’s eyepatch.

You can read out full translation of the second half. In case you missed it, we shared a translation of the first half here. Note that the final page contains information related to spoilers, so please keep that in mind before proceeding.

On our podcast last week, voice actor Joe Zieja was kind enough to stop by and discuss his work on Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Zieja played the part of Claude, leader of the Golden Deer house.

Aside from Claude, Zieja actually auditioned for other potential characters as well, including Dimitri and Dedue. Zieja spoke about his readings for those parts, telling us:

This month’s issue of Nintendo Dream has a massive Fire Emblem: Three Houses developer interview. Directors Toshiyuki Kusakihara and Genki Yokota addressed a variety of topics, including Cindered Shadows, user feedback, increasing the amount of save slots, the new outfits, the roles of Nintendo, Intelligent Systems and Koei Tecmo (including Nintendo’s requests), how the team went about creating the houses and students, and plenty more.

Due to the length of the interview – which is more than a dozen pages long – we’ve decided to split up the interview into two parts. We’re publishing the first half today and the second half tomorrow. 

Here’s our full translation of the first half:
