Fire Emblem: Three Houses director unsure why Awakening was so successful
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
It’s been well-documented just how important Fire Emblem Awakening was to the series. If that game hadn’t been successful, the franchise could have been in jeopardy. Thankfully, all went well, and Fire Emblem Awakening even achieved huge popularity in the west.
In an interview with VG247, Fire Emblem: Three Houses director at Intelligent Systems Toshiyuki Kusakihara was asked about what made Awakening so successful. Funnily enough, he’s completely unsure. Kusakihara said that the team “didn’t make any change to our philosophy to make Awakening be liked outside of Japan” and doesn’t know “why it’s so popular.”

Today’s Fire Emblem: Three Houses character introduction is about Shamir, one of the instructors at the academy. A master archer, she used to be a mercenary, but joined the Knights of Seiros as personal favor to Rhea, who had shown her a kindness in the past. She’s loyal only to her and isn’t really a believer in the Church of Seiros.
Here’s a brief clip of Shamir talking to Byleth:

Fire Emblem Heroes: purchase Fire Emblem: Three Houses, get a version of Byleth in Heroes
Posted on 5 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in Mobile, News, Switch | 0 comments
Intelligent Systems announced a collaboration between Fire Emblem Heroes and Fire Emblem: Three Houses today. If you buy a copy of Fire Emblem: Three Houses, you get a version of the game’s (male) main character Byleth to use in Fire Emblem Heroes. To do so, the Nintendo Account you purchase Fire Emblem: Three Houses with must be the same one linked to your Fire Emblem Heroes game. You must then earn Gold Points with your copy of Three Houses (if you buy the game digitally, this is done automatically; if you own a physical version, this can be done via the game’s options menu on the Switch home screen). Following July 26, this version of Byleth (called Byleth: Tested Professor) will then be distributed in Heroes.
This promotion will run for a full year, until June 29, 2020. Also, this version of Byleth won’t be exclusive to this promotion as he will also appear in a Summoning Focus in late July.
