The
crossover with Shin Megami Tensei wasn't the only showing for the
Fire Emblem franchise during the Nintendo Direct, as a new trailer
for Fire Emblem If (it's Japanese title, the English versions is
currently just being referred to as 'Fire Emblem') was streamed as
well.
The
game is currently set to be released on June 25, 2015 in Japan, with
an English release following sometime in 2016, and will detail the
story of two opposing kingdoms – the peace-loving Hoshido, and the
glory-seeking Nohr. The player character (a creatable avatar that can
be either male or female) will be a child born to the Hoshido royal
family, but raised by the Nohr royal family. Throughout the game
you'll have to decide which kingdom to side with, that of your
birthright or that of your upbringing.
In
Japan at least, the game is set to be released as two separate games
which seemingly would decide which kingdom you'll side with, with the
opposite version available as paid DLC, but it's unknown if the
American release will keep this format or just re-purpose them
together as one game. Additionally, a third DLC route where you side
with no one will also be available.
On
a personal note, this game is looking pretty great, and serves as a
reminder that I really need to go back and play some more of
Awakening.
