New details have emerged about the Fire Emblem If card game, known as TCG Fire Emblem 0 (Cipher).

A photo from Japanese website Inside Games provides a look at the “Dark War Volume”. This has a download code for “The Prince of Altea, Marth” while the “Awakening Volume” starter deck contains a code for “The Swordsman Who Goes By Marth, Lucina”. Additionally, the booster box features a preview card of the next series of cards and a code to get “Pegasus Knight Minerva” in Fire Emblem If.

There are also plans to release “White Kingdom” and “Black Kingdom” card series based on Fire Emblem If. Other than that, a third series known as “Trace of Blue Flames” is due out at some point.

Fire Emblem fans in Japan can purchase the first series of cards on June 25 – the same day Fire Emblem If launches. Pricing for the starter deck is set at 1,300 yen, and booster packs cost 350 yen.

Marvelous has now sent out another round of details about PoPoLoCrois Farm Story, which cover quests, StreetPass, and characters. View the full batch of information below.

Quests

During your adventure, you’ll come across a number of people in need of your help. By resolving their requests, you’ll be able to earn various items as an expression of their gratitude. Quests include taking out monsters, harvesting crops, etc.

StreetPass

StreetPass is a supported feature that will work as you progress through the story. When passing other players, you’ll receive “Treasure Maps” from them. By heading to the location pin-pointed on the map, you’ll be able to find items that will prove useful on your adventure.

The Girls of PoPoLoCrois Farm Story

You’ll be able to talk to, present gifts to, and communicate with the girls of the towns and villages you come across during your adventure. Making friends with these girls will have its benefits. For example, you can get special items that will help both on your journey and on your farm. These girls will also help look after your crops while you’re away.

Lela (voiced by Mamiko Noto) – A girl of Matthew Village. She has a pure personality and loves making things.
Claudia (voiced by Emiri Kato) – A girl of Zone Village. She is quiet and serious, and dreams of studying in a large town.
Emilia (voiced by Chiwa Sato) – A girl of Rampling Village. She’s strong-minded and energetic, and mines ore with her father.

Monster Hunter Stories has been a long time coming from Capcom. In a message from series producer Ryozo Tsujimoto, he reveals that the company began designing the game roughly five years ago.

Tsujimoto said:

After having passed the 10th anniversary last year, this is a new challenge for the Monster Hunter series, that we’ve began designing since about five years ago. While staying true to the world of Monster Hunter, and a story that can only be told through an RPG, we’d like to pack it with fun and enjoyment that we can’t even begin to describe with words. It is still in the middle of development, we’d like to offer you a new kind of excitement that is different from the conventional series, and the development staff are working on it in full-spirit.

Along with the above comments, Tsujimoto said Monster Hunter Stories will allow players to become “Riders” instead of Hunters. The RPG will tell the tale between the Riders and monsters.
