Valbar and Leon

Alm and Mae are amazing at telling stories. They're engaging, enthusiastic, and interesting.

Tobin, Luthier, and Valbar tell horrible stories. The kind where you start it all excited but theres not really a point to it so it just ends awkwardly. Most people are polite about it, but Delthea wastes no time in pointing out how boring her brother is being 😅

Forsyth and Boey are okay with storytelling, but things can go south because they're so dedicated to getting everything accurate. They'll interrupt, stutter, and correct themselves so that everything is exact.

Python and Saber are great with raunchy tales and ghost stories, but that's about it. They've mastered suspense, horror, humor, and inuendos. They use a lot of expressions, gestures, and voices.

Lukas doesn't tell many stories, but he's often asked to read aloud to the group from storybooks and cheesecake recipes

Clair tells all stories as if she's letting you in on some hot gossip, even if it's supposed to be a serious recounting.

Mae and Faye gets sidetracked about a dozen times, going on various tangents and backtracking and giving extra details. Basically they end up telling several stories in one...

Mycen's got those stories that always turn into a lesson/lecture at the end 🙄

Fire Emblem: Battle of Revolution

We have worked at Intelligent Systems with the Edo period in mind, trying to show the lived lives of talented warriors by creating their world "Fire Emblem Battle of Revolution" that brings the story of handsome men from the end of the Edo period with a classic look. Katanas, mowers, bows and weak flying ninjas make their appearance to bows in a new triangle of weapons, and a different way of playing. Please stay tuned for Fire Emblem Battle of Revolution ! - Hitoshi Yamagami from Nintendo. (x)

As an extra, apparently it will come with a roll of paper where it would tell us more about the vivid history of the game’s world. The character "Marusu" (Marth) will make an appearance as DLC, a messenger who for some reason ends up in different places. (x) (x)

Taking place near the end of the Edo period.

The land of Valentia is suffering from famine and destruction in several places, and its isolation has attracted foreign countries to its shores.

It seems that Celica is the leader of Zofia, and visits Valbar to request his aid.

There are people who support the Shogunate (the ruling military power) and those that want them gone. People all across the country feel strongly about the issue and aren't afraid to use violence to prove it.

Valbar and Celica gather allies, and when Valbar learns of the conspiracies behind the Shogunate, "his heart will hesitate. In the end, who really knows what they will believe?"

The destination of the final battle is called "The White Feather".

The game has a deep history, sub-episodes that show a characters past, and additional sub missions.

There is a Hanafuda Card System (like Amiibo cards) that may or may not affect permadeath, and the game has amazing battle animations.

Chapter 1 is called "Blooming Flowers" and Chapter 2 is "Between Water and Fish". There also exists a magic system, supports, classes, and DLC.

Character Descriptions:

Valbar AKA Violent Steed: Although he is a native peasant, he is naturally kind and has a sincere personality, which led to him becoming the guard of "White Wind" (Zofia). His laughter always reaches the next village, and he is concerned about his "early thirties-old belly".

Leon AKA Love Man: A ninja who fled from Iga. He longs to ride for Valbar (who is also known as the Violent Steed... make of that what you will), even enlisting for him. Leon changes his red eyeliner daily, is a dandy and skilled with his hands, which draws the attention of young women. May or may not be occasionally mistaken for a woman himself.

Kamui AKA Warrior Bear: A samurai without a teacher. He once brandished his sword against Valbar, which lead to him joining the "White Wind". Kamui hates being dominated, and despite his careless lifestyle is an expert with the blade. He is struck by a girl from a store, though he does not speak to her.

In the July 2017 Nintendo Dream issue, an interview with Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia developers discussed the creation of this game as well as other topics and trivia. (read translation here)

Q: It was still before Echoes’ release, but people recognized Leon and others in the pic.

Yamagami: The homepage staff assigned them different kanji* for us.

*TN: Chinese characters used in Japanese.

Nakanishi: Leon in particular had it spelled out in a way that was quite fitting in the game.*
